Celebrity Justice
Splash Mum on Anna's Mom

The paparazzi agency that Howard K. Stern's lawyers believe paid Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, more than $12,000 for pictures and video footage, won't confirm that a transaction took place, but they ain't exactly denyin' it.

In a statement to TMZ, the agency said, "Splash News and Picture Agency, in the great tradition of journalism, protects its sources and all financial matters are kept confidential. Splash has a reputation for breaking major news stories, and TV stations, newspapers and magazines around the globe license images and video footage to illustrate those stories."

Earlier today, Arthur was testifyin' that she ain't never had no deal with Splash.

Draw your own conclusions.

62. My two cents I agree and hope one of the other lawyer's brings this up when testimony resumes that right after ans passed away he had camera's on the plane. I hope they do a DNA asap and larry gets his little girl. Anyone with half a brain can see the baby is splitting imagine of him.. I feel sorry for him, I believe he truly loved anna and tried to get her help and when that wasn't welcome, neither was he..

64. by K Jackson - I take it you must condone the fact that ANS and Stern SOLD pictures of DEAD Daniel for $500,000 - BEFORE the body was even buried?

I suppose you also think that Smith was an EXCELLENT mother?

65. What is it you Stern lovers dont get?

Are you that double standard that it is ok for Stern to capitalize on Anna, Daniel and Dannilynne? He saw his meal ticket the day he met ANS and he has been milking it ever since.

Love? The only thing that evil demon loves is $$$$$

To blatantly lie and claim he is Dannilynne father, when in fact he knows he is not and that is why he avoids DNA testing. Are you that insensitive that you can honestly say HKS acting in Anna's best interests in the Clown video? The loving, caring, doting future father of his " precious" Dannilynne. If Dannilynne has any birth defects, he can partially thank himself for condoning it and not doing anything to help an obviously serverly addicted ANS. If any of you can honestly say that is Ok...then stop what you are doing and pray...pray for your own lack of a soul and if any of you are parents, granparents or future parents then pray your own children never meet a Howard K Stern.

HKS, knew darn well the baby inside the whacked out 8 month pregnant Anna was not his...actually I think he wanted her to kill that baby, he wanted that poor child to be born retarded or with brain damage....it would have served him better if she was.

All I want is for Vergie to win over Stern and for Larry Birkhead to get his blood child and if they make millions from the story...good!

68. Her kid dropped out of school and had to support herself! She then ran away to get herself a life and money. This woman is some lowlife toad who could not even take care of her kid.....she is trailer trash looking for an easy dollar! She will be selling video of the funeral and anything else she can to get her some money! Funny how Anna Nicole NEVER let her even see a photo of her baby and now this woman thinks she has some kind of right! She is seeing thise dollar signs and figures now that her daughter is dead she can't stop her from profiting! Now that the woman sees she can make lots of money from it she actually wants to be a mother to Anna Nicole! This judge in Florida is a joke for even allowing this charade! I live in Florida and I am ashamed! Anna left EVERYTHING to her son in her will which should tell us her son was the most important thing to her so bury the woman beside her son already and let her rest in peace!

69. Anna's mom need to go back home and leave her to be buried next to her son and i think Howard is the father and everybody else involved is just looking at the money

70. Every penny that has been issued since Ann's death need to accounted for and transferred to the baby's account under the Guardian at Litem. THEN practically be assured Howard Stern will rapidly fade into the sunset after he files a law suit against her estate. You think?

71. L. Dickhead loves Anna lying in a freezer! And he loves the baby because he thinks he will get money!! His smirk is disgusting.
And Dickhead is in support of Vergie - I bet she is making him feel proud!

73. I find it incredible that people still don't get it. Ask ONE question - of Stern -

WHY WON'T YOU PROVIDE THE BABY'S DNA?

Why?

74. I just thought of something who will get Anna's cute little dogs.

Oh god another custody battle!!!!!

75. You people crack me up.....Koward Killer has been profiting off of ANS for a decade and nobody said anything up until her son died. Now all of a sudden her mother is trying to use the media to tell the world that Koward Killer killed her grandson and ANS was next, everyone has a problem with it....It's a good thing she may of gotten money from the media so she can fight Koward Killer for her daughter and grandson.

Koward Killer is Satan, ANS was a piece of shit, Daniel and Dannilynn are the victims... May God rest this case.
