Celebrity Justice
Send in The Clowns

Judge Larry Seidlin insisted that his courtroom is not a three-ring affair. "There's no circus here, my friend," he told lawyers, after accusations flew from lawyers and litigants alike that Howard K. Stern and Virgie Arthur are profiting from Anna Nicole Smith's death.

In tearful, emotional testimony, Virgie Arthur said that Howard K. Stern profited from Anna's death.

Under direct cross-examination, Arthur said that she has not received any money from any paparazzi agencies for photo or video.

61. And why does Sideshow Seidlin call Larry Birkhead "Larry" but Howard Stern "Stern"? Although it's probably just as well since he calls Larry Birkhead "Birkhart".

63. The JUDGE is the one that is making this into a three ring circus...for GOD sake just bury her beside her son, and do an DNA test and give that baby to her daddy FINALLY. It isn't has tough as this joke of a judge is making it.

64. All of you are crazy. Remember this woman gave birth to Anne and regardless if they did not get along when she was alive one should see why. The girl was on drugs and lost in a confused world and it was good her mother did not support that lifestyle. Look at the results her daughter and grandson both are died and you people still refuses to should mercy. All of you who commented on this site need JESUS bad!!!

65. I think they should cremate Anna and give half her ashes to Howard and Half to her mother. That might settle this matter.

I think that the DNA test should be done right away. I would be nervous about letting Stern have Dannielynn.

68. This judge is making a huge mess of this case. All sides can at least console themselves that however he rules there is no many grounds for appeal. Not allowing lawyers to ask questions, not allowing them to register an objection, taking over the questioning of witnesses, and an almost absurd number of off topic and questionable remarks ... and that's not even going into heavier things like his ruling first that he would not probate the will, then interceding and asking questions regarding probate.

If it's true he's trying to get a tv show, he should not even be hearing this case. If he thinks he's going to work in camera with the parties and get them to agree to a compromise, he hasn't paid attention to the facts. Stern will not accept anything less than control of ANS and burial in the Bahamas, because for his legal needs he has to remain there. And Mr. Arthur isn't likely to have gone this far to agree to her daughter being buried in the Bahamas.

What a mess. What a shame. I can't imagine the afternoon session will be any better than the morning. This judge should go.
