Celebrity Justice
Hatchet to Be Buried With Anna?

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.

271. Perks to the Judge !!!! For allowing Anna's body to be buried next to the person that she loved the most in the world, her son Danny.
WHERE EVER IT MAY BE!

272. Hey, how about the look on Vergie's face when the judge ruled. She went from ..boo hoo I love my daughter so much.... to pissed off fat bitch in 0.1 seconds. Her poor me act on the stand didn't fool anyone to who this woman really is. How dare this woman who was not involved in Anna's life for years try to make a profit from her deceased daughter. Vergie, how well do you really sleep with who you are in your pig stye.

274. Ok Larry kept saying she got pregnant in late jan. early Feb. well most of the time you carry your baby 9 months.I just feel for this child one day she will see how all these people fought over her mother and ask why?????I think Dannielynn should decide when shes older if she wants her mother and brother would from the Bahamas. I agree lets find out her real father is and we might be surprised. Let Anna rest in peace its gone on to long. She loved her son and wanted to be with him so let them rest. To much fighting and Dannielynn will know this in years to come.

276. I never was an Anna Nicole Smith fan. But, all this stuff that was happening. Had me glued to the tv. Now, the first court battle has ended the right way. Anna Nicole she will be buried next to her son Daniel. That is what she would have wanted. Maybe one day a family member or Larry? Can come up with the big bucks, to have them dug up to be reburied in CA.

Now, we need the second court battle to begin. The dna testing to prove which guy is the actual father? Mostly everyone believes it is Larry Birkhead, as I do. He seems to be the man who would be a better father. And he showed how he truly cared for Anna. By trying to get her off the drugs. Not, supplying her with drugs as Howard did.

Go rest in peace now Anna Nicole with your son. And know in your heart. That everyone is watching out for your daughter.

277. Leave Howard K Stern ALONE. He is the ONLY one that has been there for Anna Nicole all these years and he was HIRED by her.. that is why SHE supported him. He is not the bad guy. Her MOTHER is!!! Let her rest! Who took care of Anna Nicole, Daniel and Danielynn --- HOWARD

278. I hope the truce last, and I hope Howard Stern does the right thing and submits to a paternity test. Little Danniellynn deserves to be with her father, whoever it may be.

279. I am happy to see that Howard, Larry & Virgie have finally come to an agreement as to where to let Anna rest in peace. She belongs next to her son. It's about time they started acting like the adults that they are supposed to be.

280. common sense tells any mother she whats to be at rest with her child. This court procedure is a farce and Virgie GO HOME you were not wanted by your daughter when she was alive so forget about the money you hope to receive and leave your daughter and HER SON alone at peace. May god forgive you , you greedy BITCH.

281. Well so much for a truce! Being that Vergie is filing for an appeal, CLEARLY shows her intent. After all of the evidence, remember, evidence, that CLEARYLY shows Anna wanting to be buried next to her son and she STILL wants control. She is as HORRIBLE as Anna said she is in her October interview!! Also, and this is VERY important...a woman is pregnant for 40 + weeks...I have been pregnant 7 times I know! So according to Larry Birkhead the doc told him conception would have been around the first week of January and has a three day window. Ok, no doctor will say a three day window!!! It is usually acurate by a week or so, however, you do the math . . . January 5 - according to Larry - the math would NOT be September 7!!!!! According to Larry's date of conception, the baby should have been born OCTOBER 14!!!!!!!!!!!! How can everyone be so ingnorant NOT to get that? And a doctor NEVER does a c-section on a 33 - 34 week old invetro baby! Two of my babies were born at 43 weeks!!!!!!! What the hell is everyone so stupid for beliving this guy - - - also, being that she is older at time of pregnancy and miscarried once before she would have been high risk regardless of her drug use, so the doctors would have been giving her more than average sonograms. They can measure the fetus' femar bone to get a more exact due date, a doctor would NEVER have told him conception January for a birth of September!!!!!! I believe Howard is the baby's Daddy.

282. Howard may be protecting his right as Dannielynn's Daddy because he knew that Anna slept around and is afraid that the possibility of paternity for him is only a small percentage. Conception for a baby born in September is in fact conception time in December! According to Ford Shelley's testimony, Howard, Anna and Daniel were together during that time! Also, DANNIELYNN IS A BAHAMIAN CITIZEN!! Doesn't matter where conception happened, how dare us to pluck a citizen from another country out of their home country for paternity. Larry should go to Bahama's to fight custody!!!

283. Opri lied again then. She told the judge the three of them weren't going to hold hands and make nice...well.....I guess that was for show in the courtroom. That woman made more of a display in court than anyone. Hypocirte! The mother isn't much better because she turned right around after being in the press statement as agreeing to appealing the decision. Another hypocrite! Birdhead is just trying to look like the good guy but I really hope he is sincere and not just acting.

284. Larry is very impressive.... did you notice how he always cuts the media out.
In the clip of Anna at the gay bar he was the one who put his hand over the camera.
She kept pushing HKS away, what was he saying to her to make her keep pushing him away?

Posted at 11:51AM on Feb 23rd 2007 by texasgirl

285. Sorry Kerri, if my friends cared for me the way HKS cared for Anna, I'd probably be dead too. He handed Dilaudid and Methadone to a woman supposedly carrying his baby, while she was in a hospital trying to detox!

The only reason he's crying now is because she died before he had a chance to get her to change the will. If she loved him so much, she would have legally married him. There were no legal reasons they couldn't marry. She talked about marrying Larry, even to the point of looking at rings.

HKS whole story about how they were everything to one another is complete BS. He NEEDED her, she USED him.
