Celebrity Justice
Birkhead: Howard Made Me Deny Being Dad

Posted Feb 22nd 2007 11:08AM by TMZ Staff

Larry Birkhead told the court in the Anna Nicole Smith case that Howard K. Stern bugged him relentlessly in May 2006, to deny to magazines and tabloids that he was the father of Dannielynn, even calling him "200 times" while Birkhead was working, to try to persuade him.

Birkhead said that he obliged Stern's request just to "get him off my back," but later sold photos establishing his relationship with Anna Nicole to reverse the media report and correct the record.

4. Your comments: Let's not forget that Howard & Anna left POOR DANNY sit for 39 DAYS in a refrigarator, and go sailing, have a photo shoot for $$$$, have "FAKE" vows, and did Entertainment Tonight Interviews. Howard could Care LESS about Anna & her resting place.

5. 1. If Larry Birkhead saw ANS doing all those drugs from Jan 05 to May06, why didn’t he get her off Rx’s like Howard K Stern was supposed to have done? What is the difference, why is Stern the villain and not Birkhead too?

2. If Birkhead was so worried about a “duffel bag full of drugs” being given to Anna, why didn’t he report it? He is just as much of an enabler, or accessory to a crime, as anyone else around her. And why didn’t he have the guts to tell someone if he loved her? Because he’d lose income from her photos?

3. Stern was working on Anna’s behalf – business manager, household manager, personal assistant, secretary, gopher, purse carrier, etc. So then why is he criticized for being compensated for his work, albeit in the form of living expenses & what have you, when Birkhead is allowed to be compensated for his photos of her without disdain?

8. WOOOOOW Larry Birkhead just lost many many points for admiting that at one point he did agree to deny the baby was his! Thats just awful. No amount of pressure from ANYONE should cave you in enough to deny your own child!!!!!!!!

9. I don't know if I hope he gets the baby. He majored in communication he's good at what he does with his speaking skills.
Anna has requested that she did NOT want her mom near the baby. This is just wrong. Anna's wishes should be observed. I think Larry & the mom are in cahoots! He wants the money no doubt, hell they all do. Anna should be buried with her son. Whether in the bahamas or California. I do NOT think Texas should be an option. Larry is fooling alot of people. He's been well trained.

14. I'm quite sure Larry tried to get Anna to go to rehab, but as usual Coward K. Stern advised her against it stating the publicity would be negative and would possibly hurt her chances of getting Marshall's money.
