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.

22. the judge's strategy...allow all parties to speak their peace, so they can move on and do what is best for the baby.

23. PAY ATTENTION TO THE *FACTS* OF THIS JUDGMENT! Millstein has been given all the power and Perper is there at his side to help him through this. There are emergency proceedings AS WE SPEAK in Family Court in both Florida and Bahamas (LIKELY WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE CHILD) that I can guarantee will have a HUGE outcome either tonight or tomorrow! I am betting the judge stepped aside due to questions as to his jurisdiction AND to have a couple of WEEKDAYS for Millstein to get the job done. Watch Millstein and Perper accompany the body to the Bahamas, have a Bahamian court award (IN THE BAHAMAS) custody of the ACTUAL CHILD to recognize Millstein as guardian ad litem in the Bahamas as WELL, get the DNA IMMEDIATELY, Birkhead is the father, Birkhead becomes the guardian speaking for the next of kin, and the child and the bodies of both Anna and Daniel (being that Dannielynn is HIS next of kin as well) go to California. She'll be buried and Dannielynn will be in California by Monday. Dannielynn will be out of Howard's hands before bed tonight. MARK MY WORDS this or something to that same effect occurs. THE JUDGE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND IS ALLOWING THIS AWFUL JUDGEMENT OF HIM for an ALTRUISTIC REASON, AND THAT IS DANNIELYNN

28. Dr. Perper's head problem was caused by being dropped on it as a child. A blood clot caused part of the skull to thicken...I read a brief interview with him about it on google.

His head is kind of...mesmerizing, isn't it?
