Oh hoho,that changes things.
Well, besides the fact that Larry’s dad is convalescing, Derby is soon and that’s always like “homecoming” or “family reunion” for KYites everywhere.
If Howie didn’t mean to kill Danny and Anna I would feel sorry for him if he came and said..I was an enabler and made a terrible mistake. But the way he tries to manipulate and stymie the court just makes me dislike him intensely and question his motives which seem to be all about self preservation. He is very media savvy..I’m still in awe of the way he kept Dirty Sanchez a secret and had her helping Perper investigate a crime that he may have committed. Wow..if this was a dime store novel he would be an anti-hero but since it’s real life it just makes him an oops well I shouldn’t type what it makes him.
They had Nannies 24/7. I can assure you neither she nor Howard got up. Both of them were awkward with the baby. Howard was especially awkward in ALL the pictures of him and the baby...but the one where he was screaming at the baby was particularly telling. Howard, “the Drama Queen” in action.
This whole saga has been nothing but a karmic wheel..
Anna fights over her husband’s body.
HKS and Virgie fight over Anna’s body.
Anna doesn’t bury Daniel until 39 days after death.
Anna is not buried until almost a month after her death.
Anna runs to the Bahamas to have a child.
Anna loses a child in the Bahamas.
What goes around comes around...
Thanks for the jpg - scary! I just heard something scary, too. We had an electric pole melt in the subdivision nearby, but my electricity only went down a couple of times and came back on.
But what’s scary - a home in Afton Oaks had an electrical spark from a burned out transformer travel through its *plumbing* and cause little fires all through the house! I think I *knew* this could happen, but didn’t really ever hear of it actually doing so.
Yikes, just one more thing for me to worry about during storms!
“””Virgie - if she appeals this has exactly 24 hours to get a stay......””
Haven’t you noticed -in Florida and in the Bahamas - Virgie has had no favorable rulings?
Howie has bought more influence than the Queen of England! And Larry is running scared.
I have to leave the thread - I am much too pessimistic for a good outcome in the inquest, Horizons and wrongful death suits.
Good bye to all my FRiends - I am surrendering my keyboard to the dark side.
Oh, I know they would both lie about anything and everything, whether it was necessary or not.
Just thought it was funny that ANS just *had to* interject that little tidbit to keep asserting her “dominance” over Howie, making “him” take care of “that baby” she *hadn’t bonded with.*
Don’t leave...
Maybe Bobby Trendy will put a smile on your face..

Judge rules OK! for Birkhead to take his baby home…for good?!
For months now, cable TV, tabloid newspapers and Internet-gossip sites have manufactured drama and made cash by fueling idle speculation about who’s Anna Nicole’s baby-Daddy and about who would win custody of this purported million-dollar baby. But from the outset, I assured readers of this weblog that, in due course, Larry Birkhead would not only be declared the biological father but also win custody; notwithstanding the maternally-overweening, financially-mercenary and legally-unsustainable claims of her Grandma Virgie Arthur.
And, when DNA results confirmed that Birkhead is indeed the Daddy, here, in part, is what I wrote in an article entitled Birkhead’s the Daddy! Duhhh…now what?!:
…[I]gnore the legal pundits who suggest that the judge will balance chauvinistic and parochial (i.e., cultural) prejudices that invariably favor granting guardianship to a grandmother instead of the biological father. Because that’s utter rubbish. More to the point, however, there is no evidence to suggest that Birkhead would be an unfit parent; whereas, there is relevant evidence, including Anna Nicole’s own damning (even if drug-induced) words and the documented troubles of her other children, to suggest that Mrs Arthur would not be a very fit parent at all….
[A]s soon as Birkhead obtains a passport for her from the local U.S. consulate, he and she will be free to leave The Bahamas for California, without any legal obligation to ever return.
This brings me to today’s penultimate proceedings which resulted – as predicted – with the judge granting Birkhead permission to return home with his daughter firmly in hand. And once again, I urge you to ignore the legal pundits because the significance of today’s ruling is as intriguing as it is simple:
This Bahamian judge is acutely aware that once Birkhead returns to America with his daughter, there will be no legal way for him to compel them to return to the The Bahamas for further proceedings. Never mind that by any judicial criteria such an order would constitute an overzealous attempt to meddle in the affairs of this family that borders on fetishistic.
That said, Birkhead would be well-advised to have his local counsel prevail upon the judge to appreciate that - although he has no objection to retuning – his parental good sense tells him that it is neither necessary nor in the best interest of his daughter to return to the The Bahamas to resolve any outstanding custody issues with her Grandma. And, moreover, that - to the extent such issues have to be litigated at all – a U.S. court would be a more appropriate forum given the citizenship and permanent residency of all of the parties now involved.
And, trust me, that would be that!
Now, since no court in America would even entertain Verigie’s patently-suspect claims, it behooves Birkhead to enter into no custodial or guardianship agreement, not even for visitation rights, with her. Because she has absolutely no legal standing to demand any rights or privileges with respect to raising Dannielynn or, God forbid, managing her financial affairs. Frankly, one could be forgiven the impression that this woman thinks she’s this child’s only grandparent. Never mind that she does not appear to have been quite so solicitous of being involved in the raising of her own children.
Indeed, it is ironic, if not instructive, that the only credible words Howard K. Stern has uttered during these proceedings was outside court last week when he said - with undisguised contempt - that (and I quote loosely):
Virgie is proving herself to be everything Anna Nicole said she was.
Alas, to that I must also add, it takes one to know one. Because here’s what I wrote in that same article about Stern, which holds even more true today – given the way he seems to have ingratiated himself into Birkhead’s good graces:
I admonish Birkhead to make no deals with Stern and keep him as far away as physically possible (and by a court-ordered TRO if necessary). Because his mercenary interest in Dannielynn is not only unseemly; it’s potentially dangerous (displaying as he has the homicidal pathology of women who cut the fetuses from the wombs of other women, and then fancy themselves birth mothers). Indeed, who, but a psychopath, would hold a little child hostage in the open and notorious way that he has, and then have the balls to show up at a paternity hearing - with as much public interest as this one has generated - knowing full well that there’s no way he could be the Daddy?!
And, incidentally, the notion that Birkhead should retain Stern to continue the Faustian quest for a piece of the Marshall estate is absurd. After all, Stern’s handling of Anna Nicole’s legal affairs makes it plain that he’s almost criminally incompetent. Indeed, chances are good that the next time he steps into a U.S. courtroom, it will be to face disbarment proceedings. Meanwhile, I assure you that there are many more reputable lawyers who would be all too eager to pursue this matter on Birkhead and Dannielynn’s behalf.
Accordingly, it seems fitting to close with this reminder from that same prescient article:
Legal cases in The Bahamas proceed with proper judicial speed, not according to the whimsical dictates of American TV producers. But as I said sometime ago, this should all be over by the end of April….
And, with that, I rest my commentaries on the legal mess Anna Nicole left behind in my my beloved country, The Bahamas.

Really.
Umm, back-pats to him, I guess.
One person who had nothing to say upon leaving the courtroom was Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur who has been battling it out with Birkhead in court over the child. Sources say she has pulled out all the stops trying to block Birkhead's Bahamas departure with his daughter.
It isn't possible to have it both ways... you cannot trash LB for being around HKS because the baby is there and it is there because of the quote above... This is Larry's child and Larry deserves full and sole custoday...
Don't let hatred for HKS get in front of the real story here. I don't "hate" Virgie, but I do hate that she is causing all this dessension because she wants custody-- ergo the Custody Hearing in June. Where is she getting the money to battle with Larry for the baby? Someone is planning to collect a fee from this.
Once again..who are these sources?? LOL.. Also it’s pretty clear that Larry could not take the child until today. People have been bashing Virgie for the last few weeks blaming her for Dannielynn still being with Howard. That’s not true and not fair. I agree though that she should not be trying to keep him from leaving but it appears that he can’t be compelled to come back to the Bahamas and this is her last chance to get something in writing. As for the HKS hatred it’s not blinding me to anything. I don’t trust him and I would definitely be trying to use the law to my advantage to keep him out of my grandchild’s life. Only one side is getting out and I’m sure we keep hearing about Virgie’s demands but do we actually think that Howie is not making any demands of his own.
Also another thing I have never understood. Why are they only meeting once a week for a few hours in court? That seems pretty ridiculous to me. This should have all been sorted out one way or the other within a week or two.
On this site I think people are disappointed in Virgie but on those other immature sites people flat out hate and despise her. It’s like all the animosity felt towardsd HKS has been directed towards Virgie. Also and I know this is semantics but she’s not really fighting for custody.
Hey - I just thought of the perfect gift for baby Dannielynn, when I was posting about Larry needing to be home soon for his dad and for Derby week.
Dannielynn needs a Breyer figure of Barbaro for her little bookshelf of special dolls and pretty things. The beloved Derby winner, and world’s best horse patient, would be symbolic of the time her mom and dad met and then later got re-acquainted at Derby!
*Born in the valley and raised in the trees
Of western Kentucky, on wobbly knees ...
With mama beside you to help you along,
You’ll soon a-growing up strong. ....
From sire to sire, it’s born in the blood;
The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud ...
It’s breeding and it’s training, and it’s something unknown,
That drives you and carries you home.
And it’s run for the roses, as fast as you can!
Your fate is delivered; your moment’s at hand!
It’s the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance ...
And it’s high time you joined in the dance ...
It’s high time you joined in the dance!*
What a beautiful and thoughtful idea! That is just “perfect”
Good grief, sweet, gullible Larry.
I hope when they are back in LA, Larry hires a bodyguard, and a food taster.
When he and big bro Stern get together for the all the estate mess, that LB watches is back!
” Good bye to all my FRiends - I am surrendering my keyboard to the dark side. “”
Please don’t go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
