62. How is it that Anna did not put her son Daniel in the ground for almost or a little over three weeks and his body was fine. But for Anna it has been a little over a week and a half and she is deteriorating faster than normal. Do they do better work in Nassau?

63. If you were a real man Howard you would give up and let Virgie lay her daughter to rest in Texas. Every mother and daughter have their disagreements but blood is thicker than water. If you really are the father of Dannielyn how would you feel if her alleged lover was keeping her remains from you????????????? But then again I serisously doubt you could answer that question.

64. He was NOT sobbing much less loudly!!
WTF???
The ONLY reason HK$ seemed "concerned" is because it is
going to throw a monkey wrench in his TrimSpa/Funeral plans.
He ain't gonna be able to make money off that. LOL

BTW The camera was on HK$ not Birkhead or Virgie wonder how they reacted...hmmm

65. Someone in here said something about Vergie being in LE, BIG DEAL.. that DOES NOT make her a good, better, worse.. mother one way, or the other. I have plenty of family/relatives in law, including a very eccentric grandfather who was a chief of police for years~ BIG DEAL. I think one of the few interviews ANNA seemed coherent/adamant was the interview where she shuns her mother and I can see why~ I agree with you *29~ Also, this is all about $$, and fifteen minutes of fame~ Just wait 'till the funeral (sic) ..more about $. ANNA may have been a great many things, but in death NO ONE deserves this three-ring circus.. The judge is just as bad.

66. I was watching, too and didn't hear any sobs either. All I saw was him trying to act like this information bothered him.

Also, the way I heard the examiner's statement about her body was that it was deteriorating quickly, NOT FASTER THAN NORMAL. The people who embalmed her noticed the body had deteriorated quite a bit, which is not abnormal for a body that had not had any sort of embalming or preservation done yet. Of course, it could not have been preserved until all tests and sample taking were completed.

Howard is very creepy.

67. I watched the whole thing and I never saw any sobbing whatsoever by Howard Stern. This whole thing would be over right now if Howard would submit to a DNA test - it is the right thing to do since the baby's natural father would be the one to have a say in the matter since the baby is under 18 years of age. Everyone agrees to the test but Howard - so he is the delay - not the judge.

68. I was watching and he did not start to sob loudly. He put his face in his hands, he looked visibly shaken, but he was not sobbing loudly. This is the kind of hysterical reportage that creates fodder for rumour. Be a better journalist than that.
Also, the coroner did ot say she was deteriorating faster than usual... he said faster than they had expected. There is no usual when it comes to the deterioration of a corpse. It all depends on a variety of cricumstances. Once again... stop trying to create sensationalism and just give us the story.

69. TMZ's article embellished the description of HKS and used the word "sobbing" because (if you look at their stories closely and compare them to what is simultaneously reported by the national media), TMZ is painting a very selective picture that they want us to see. Along these lines, they have very selectively left out bits of VERY key of information all along - things that could of and should of been said in their articles. Where would be the harm in including all relevant info so we get the complete scoop? Unless you are promoting a specific agenda ofcourse. I constantly check out the reports on all major media outlets - the other news stations tend to at least address all of the relevant facts assuming they are known to them. It's one thing to take an editorial stance or voice an opinion (that's done all the time), but it's another to not give both sides of a story or to ommit certain information where it's convenient for them or helps them to skew their reporting and heighten the drama. This is not isolated to the ANS case, it's rampant in all of their articles. Their reporting is not reporting at all, but subjective commentary. That's all fine and well (as long as it does not include flat out lies) but it's a caveat that we should all be aware of if we're to read the the articles on this site. In the case of the "sobbing" assertion it is acute exaggeration....adds to the drama. I'm sure they are building up to something with the "sobbing" statements. They like to get you wriled up so you'll click on their articles and they'll get more advertising money. we all fall victim to this. For my own part - I can't resist coming here for tidbits of juicy info I admit! But I prefer to make up my own mind when they report on anything. At Vassar most of their articles would have received about a D+/C- ... an A for their resources in obtaining the info no question (some of it is not easy to get), but a D+/C- for actually commenting on them. Normally you present all available facts and then offer an opinion. But you don't offer an opinion based on limited facts or subjective descriptions. It's simply not fair and balanced reporting and certainly does not even out the playing field. I'd like to know what they are afaid of. Some of the facts they leave out are VERY obvious and pertinent. If you claim to be a news agency you need to make the complete truth available. Sorry for the rambling!

71. How come its ok that HKS make money off of ANS death but not Virgie -

72. Yeah he's sobbing alright....his gravy train is dead and he's probably the reason why...low life scum.

73. I still don't think there's gonna be ANY moolah for any of them. Don't forget, her body has been lying around for quite a while before they finally embalmed it. Of course, it's "going bad."

74. Having seen the "clown-face" video, it seems like Daniel must have seemed like a great protector for her, to keep HK$ from pushing drugs on her. When she lost Daniel, she lost the only person close enough to help her. She had no one else. Everyone else around her (the bodyguard, the nurse, Gibson senior and companion, Shane Gibson, and her baby's nanny ) were all paid by Howard. It must have been terrifying. She wasn't going to get married. She was going to have to testify at the inquisition about her son's death. Perhaps her testimony was going to implicate Howard, risking having her drugs cut off. She didn't want a boat. She sure as hell didn't want to get send to Dubai to perform tricks at Howard's bidding. I feel sorry for her at the end.

75. If Anna's morther loved her daughter like she claims, she should let Anna be buried next to her son. She hasn't said anything about wanting Anna to be buried next to her. She keeps saying family.
