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.

63. I would find it amazingly funny if Howard and Larry ended up raising DannieLynn together as partners.

64. is it wrong of me to despise anna's mother? i don't know anything about the lady except for anna saying that her dad and brother raped her and that her mom knew. i don't know if it's true but if that's the case no wonder she was so ef'ed up.

but if it is true, i hope vergie gets a special spot in hell.

65. What a joke! They all need to be ashamed of themselves for letting her rot in a freezer while they battled it out. She should have been buried in the Bahamas from the beginning with her son. They are all selfish.

67. ANS's Mommy dearest wants it ruled to her so she can sell the funeral to the highest bidder to buy a new trailer and some redman for her hubby!!

68. It's nice that they have all come together. It doesn't matter where they are buried, just as long as they are together.

So what is wrong with Dr. Perper's head?!

70. I am very glad that all parties involved will be civil to one another. Also, I am thrilled for Larry, that Howard will be allowing him to see Dannielynn. I have a new respect for you, Howard K. Stern. I haven't heard if Virgie will be allowed to see Dannielynn. That is still her grand daughter. I know how Vergie feels; my oldest daughter age 30 hasn't spoken to me since 1990. It hurts alot...

71. Enuf about Dr. Perper's head. His head may be misshapen, but he is an educated and knowledgeable man...and one that had sense enuf to let all these goofballs involved, know that while they're in court arguing over the body....its rotting!!!
I think he truly cared that ANS have some dignity in death.

72. HKS knows Birkhead is the father and will get custody so now he's sucking up to Larry.....he'll probably become Larry's "boy" now....replacing ANS with Larry Birkhead!!!! (He's got to find a new "money well" somewhere!)

73. Regarding Dr Pepper......i cant figure out if that lump is more annoying than his heavy accent.

i have a small lump on my head...is that going to happen to me.

i'm afraid

i'm also afraid that i will never get my housework done.

i'm so obessed with this.

i need a 12 step program.

at least it takes my mind off of my son being in IRAQ

74. I am so glad they came to a decision to bury ANS, and I am also glad she will be laid to reat with her son. If only for respect for the dead.
I wonder though if this is where Daniel would have picked? This was another HKS decision. I hope he gets his due. something not right about all this, but he will be the one who finally answers to a higher power.
RIP DANIEL anna

NOW Get off your duffs do the DNA, so Larry can take his baby home, Before HKS does her in too.

75. Glad ist's over, and that they came together to get ANS buried. Thought is was inappropriate for Birkheads lawyer to say on tv interview that he was going to get to see his daughter. Although we all think he's the father, there is no legal basis to it. The judge should not have had him as part of the equation
