Celebrity Justice
Hatchet to Be Buried With Anna?

Posted Feb 22nd 2007 4:50PM by TMZ Staff

After shredding each other for the past four days, Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead simultaneously announced, without any seeming anger toward each other, that Anna Nicole Smith will be buried in the Bahamas.

The announcement came just a few minutes after Judge Larry Seidlin decided that Dannielynn's court-appointed guardian should mediate the dispute.

The two men, who had sneered and clawed at one another, both directly and through their lawyers during the days of the legal hearing, made the announcement with Anna's mom, Virgie Arthur. They would not address the question of funeral arrangements nor would they discuss the paternity battle.

Even Birkhead's flame-throwing lawyer, Debra Opri, appealed for calm -- and appeared with her combatant, Stern's lawyer, Krista Barth.

7. I AM 100% FOR LARRY BIRKHEAD!

I just ran across this article which seems to be in HK$'s favor.
There is no justice if that bastard HK$ gets away w/ this mess.

Please read & I urge LB supporters to email the Royal Bahamas Police Force IMMEDIATELY as COURT DATE IS FEB 22, 2207 Thursday.
Royal Bahamas Police Force (Paul H. Farquharson) paul@rbpf.org

Hopefully strength in numbers will force the Bahamian government to request
a DNA test on DannieLynn.
And ultimately for Larry to get custody of his daughter.

8. Now go hold your baby Larry. Howard, give Larry his daughter or I am coming after you, tooth and nail, till my last breath has left my body. Not a threat, a promise.

9. Howard is a LAYWER and he KNEW he had to get rid of Daniel
first, then ANNA, and that he would get control of the ESTATE. Poor VERGIE!!! Poor Larry, & Poooooor Dannilynn!!!

The Baby should be put in Protective Custody, until the DNA tests show who is the Father. Larry & Vergie Should have VISITATION RIGHTS to DANNILYNN ASAP!!!!!!

10. Will someone PLEASE tell us what is wrong with Dr. Perper's HEAD!!!!

11. Even if she's buried in the Bahamas, Dannielynn will know when she's older WHY her mother is buried in the Bahamas. All this will come out and Dannielynn will HATE HKS for all that he has done. So, if ANS' mom doesn't fight to have ANS and Daniel exhumed and moved, Dannielynn will do it when she's older.

No matter what, ANS and Daniel being buried in the Bahamas is temporary.

14. They be "friendly" until the custody batle. Then when Larry Birkhead wins custody, he'll move both bodies to california asap.

15. It still can take up to 2 weeks according to the medical examiner.
