Celebrity Justice
Judge Seidlin "Very Impressed" with Birkhead

Judge Larry Seidlin finished a long, contentious day in court just moments ago, proclaiming himself "very impressed" with Larry Birkhead's testimony, and adding that Birkhead had "put a lot of meat" on the bones of the Anna Nicole Smith body-disposition case. Seidlin quite pointedly didn't make similar remarks after Howard K. Stern vacated the witness stand.

The judge said that Birkhead would continue to testify tomorrow, starting at 10:30 a.m. EST, and that he wanted the respective litigants' attorneys to submit their recommendations for judgment in the case tomorro by 5 p.m. Seidlin has maintained that he will render his judgment or, as he likes to put it, "fashion a remedy," for the conflict by Friday morning.

76. #18-
Are you sure you got the right attorney??? To me it seemed like Barf was trying to the run the show again as she did on the first day. I was trying to figure out when she was going to go up and tell $tern to step down and let me answer for you.

But out of them all, the man with class stole the day. He got up there and answered the question and then went on to explain. He did not get up there and try to side track the questions like someone else we know and change his story over and over. He did not get up there and point the finger at this one or that one. He sat right there and answered the Judges questions. If anyone is believeable in this case it is LARRY BIRKHEAD. I was also very proud of him with his answer in regards to where to bury her. Even he stated Anna wanted to be buried in California and that Daniel didnot like the Bahamas.

This may sound cruel, but I feel Anna should be buried in the California. The remains of loved ones are always removed and placed in another cemetery. I mean we have to think of Danielynn. With her mama in California, she can go visit her grave on Mother's Day or her mother's birthday. There is NOWAY $tern is going to get her. Everyone is thinking about Anna, what about Dannielynn!!

77. Larry your a man and I commend you on this . You fight for your daughter , you were there and tried to get her to stop the drugs because it could cause harm to your child but the Bimbo was so sedated by herself or with Howard helping her that you could not reason with her , she did not even realize that Daniel was on drugs or maybe she did who knows ,. She sure left everything in one hell of a mess that is for sure . Bury her by Marlyn Monroe for that is what she portraid to be in life . Please Lord get that baby to the rightful Father and it is not Howard Sterns , how could a man stand by and let Anna go have sexual relations with all of these men and still love her , he no more loved her than I would want a snake crawling on me .. He is a jerk .. the only normal one in the courtroom is Larry Birkhead and the Mother.. Larry is one honest person ..

79. Anna Nicole's baby was born in the Bahamas and remains there under court order and Howard Stern was named on the birth certificate and is using that fact to prevent paternity testing. The only power that can do anything about that is the Bahamian government. They are the only ones that can protect Dannilynn and they have an affidavit on file from the nanny that the baby was underfed and in danger. If you think they should be investigating the welfare of the child send an email. http://www.rbpf.org/

80. THERE IS HUGE difference in what Larry Birkhead has to gain or lose by his comments. He has that child like innocence thing usually reserved for those with little intelligence or life experience.

I think many forget HOWARD STERN is an educated man, party to a huge legal win against the estate of Anna's former husband and knows the critical importance in how he answers every single question posed by these vultures.

Birkhead can laugh, giggle.. isn't he the picture of grief. I think I'm still experiencing more sadness than he is.

AMAZING when we decide paternity based on looks and a nothing to lose testimony.

CAN ANYONE tell me what Birkhead can lose even if in the middle of his testimony he started to bark like a dog? NOTHING! nadda.. zippo.. cuz he's only there as a possible biological father. Until that is determined.. he has no purpose

81. No matter what this judge rules on Friday, this will not be over. He's made enough judicial gaffes that every single person involved has legit grounds for appeal. The lawyers will have their pleadings prepared and ready to file on the way out Friday morning.

What a joke.

82. CAN U BELIEVE IT? VERGIE COULDN'T EVEN GO SEE HER DEAD DAUGHTER WITHOUT TAKING THE SPLASH HELICOPTER ALONG FOR OVERHEAD PHOTOS. WHAT TRAILER PARK KIND OF TRASH IS SHE?

IF BIRKHEAD IS THE FATHER, I HOPE HE DOES'NT LET VERGIE NEAR HER.
SHE'LL MESS HER UP TOO.

83. Howard left his cup after his testimony!!! Maybe someone grabbed it for DNA!!! I knew I liked Larry...good ole southern boy and a babe too!

84. 57. There's impeachment of Larry to come. Remember, he signed 3 confidentiality agreements with Anna. On one, he said he would pay her 10 million if he ever talked about her. It will be interesting how he answers that.

But, ANS is dead now, and this is a court of law. I think that would be set aside , like everything else has been set aside in this trial.

85. To All You Larry Scum Ball Fans Yes a Man that sits their and stands their with that "SMUG LOOKING SMIRK" is a good man and did a fabulous job today Yes people tha's exactly how people should act in court hearings to decide where the supposed love of your life is to be buried. When you all find out that Scum ball Larry is not the father who's side are you going to switch to maybe that Larry should give up photography and go into acting. Larry You're a Looser and everyone supporting you is one too. Yeh you're cute so are TROLLS!!!

Posted at 7:30PM on Feb 21st 2007 by CONDENMING AN INNOCENT MAN (HKS)

86. I hope he did take HKS cup and runs a DNA but they would still have to have the babies and that is the problem . Here that little girl is over there with this drug supplier , thief , possible killer with no protection .. Lets get this over with so we can go to the real trial of who the Father really is . She was such a slut who knows how many guys she did while away from both HKS and Larry ????? Not really a slut just some one with a blown out mind from drugs , how sad she should have been made "made" to go to rehab ... Thank Howard ,you really helped her alot ...

87. HKS IS not using any facts to PREVENT DNA testing. If the law there seems to do that, that's fine, but HKS did not write those laws, he is abiding by them until he needs to do a DNA test and bring the baby for one, I APPLAUD him for standing his ground.

THAT GROUND BEING.. He wants to deal with things in priority order, bury Anna first, then move to the next thing.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE GET THAT?

A woman's body is rotting in a morgue as you all worry about who the baby's daddy is? This is RIDICULOUS.

88. That's a great catch Scott, post #70. I didn't notice that.

89. The judge is a joke.....but Larry is a babe & his attorney is awesome! Kick Ass! RIP ANNA.

90. What! Larry just went on a narrative. He will have to be crossed just like the mother and Stern where. Get a grip folks this guy made a lot of money f-ing ANS, he is not innocent in his relations with her in any way. He sold pics of ANS and her son for money RECENTLY!!!
