What It Will Take for Howard K. to Go Away

TMZ has learned the negotiations between Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead now have nothing to do with little Dannielynn. It's all about money.

Sources tell TMZ that Howard K. Stern has all but conceded that Larry Birkhead is the dad. Exhibit A: TMZ's story yesterday that Stern has already let Birkhead spend time with the baby. We're told Stern is willing to cooperate with paternity matters if the price is right. Specifically, sources say Stern has his eye on the Bahamian house Anna Nicole bought (not Horizons), and the boat she purchased just before her death. But that is not the end of Stern's financial wish list. Sources say he has set his sights on other assets as well.

Under the will and the laws of inheritance, Dannielynn would get all her mom's assets. Nonetheless, we're told the house, the boat and other assets are being discussed. It is unclear how Stern might lay claim to the items in question. Nonetheless, we're told that's precisely what he wants.

1801. howard k.stern should be with the baby in the bahamas where anna wanted to raise her
baby. everyone needs to leave him alone already. he did not make anna take drugs, anna always had a fast paced lifestyle. Howard k.stern deserves the baby and was always good to her, anna really loved him and wanted to be with him and their babyin the
bahamas.

Linda I agree with your direction on most all of it and merely add what is known:

All of the British controlled and former British controlled political systems have retained the (British) common law into their systems. Thus there is a marriage called a marriage by common law or common law marriage.

That is not done in an instant but under the original common law required more than mere living together for a few weeks (7 years is one time used by the c.l. and incorporated into Bahamian common and statutory law), there must be some declaration claiming the other as spouse in each direction probably (almost true here) and perhaps one or more fine little requisites I have forgotten for Florida abolished common law marriages effective January 1, 1968, at a time long before law school for me, YET FLORIDA STILL HAS A COMMON LAW, as amended by statute.

THat is just one thing among several I could comment upon, but I will keep this one short for the obvious reasons.

1803. Larry Birkhead is not the lilly-white person that he has been painted as either !
He too was with Stern at those orgies that Anna was made to do with those drug supplying doctors and they filmed it too ! Larry is right there with Stern laughing it up !
Larry is surround with the same nutty kind of people in his paparazzi job as Stern surrounds himself with ! And NOW with Anna gone, Stern is bascially Larry's boss and in control of his job since Stern has claimed OWNERSHIP of everything to do with Anna !

Stern is an expert at splitting people up, just as he's done to Anna 's life for the past 11 years that Stern has controlled Anna's life and cut out anyone from her that was her family or her OWN real friends. Stern only allowed 'his people' around Anna - those are all those out on TV claiming to be Anna's "close fiends" = they are Stern's loyalist people and they go out to propagate all Stern's lies to turn evreyone against Virgie or anyone else who is not in his camp !

What nevre gets out is hte ral turth ! How Anna has never had any feud iwth her mother adn hat behind Sten's back ANna alwasy called her mother all this time . Anna called her mother adn someof her OWN REAL FIENDS (that Stern had forbidden Anna to call or have anytign ot do wtih ) and Anna begged them to help her escape Stern ! No one realizes how Anna was in FEAR for her life and for her baby from Stern! THAT is why he was able to make her make that hate tape - Stern knew he would need it for court to cover his own butt ! But Anna had to stick to the Stern script but did manage to slip in a hidden message hoping someone would be smart enough to HEAR it ! Seh in that little slip in mesage was ble to show the world how Sern had made her lie adn how he has been lying all htese time ! That there was no hate or estrangment between her and her mother ! YES ! It is in there and Stern is hoping no one discoveres it ! How Anna goes on and on about how she has always cried for her mother and she makes a point to say that when she had her baby she cried for her mother ! She puts herslef, her mother and her baby together - no one else is mentioned here - this is very important ! She is telling everyone she wants her mother to take care of her baby ! Stern wants everyone to just consentrate on the things and words HE wants everyone to hear and not hear anything else ! But Anna was not dumb and she was in fear for her life and most likely knew this would be her only chance to get out a message, hoping someone would pick up on it !
So she slipped her REAL message in the Stern script she was forced to do. YOu can see she was scard ! Look how she is so shaky and her voice is shaky, her jaw and her lips are shaky. Plus Stern had her on drugs - a special cocktail that makes you APPEAR alert, but still gives you the edge needed to appear to muster up anger. Stern is an expert on drug cocktails to get the result he wants. There are many of them.
SHE kenw her mother would see tought this tape; Virgie knew what Anna was caught in, and knew Anna was beign drugged agaisnt her will most of the time . Those who knew her well could see Anna's mood or behavior and tell you want drug cocktail was used on her !
Anna did not know what drugs were IN her ! Stern had been sneaking drugs in her food and orange juice for years. There are witnesses to this fact ! They are too afraid to come forward and tell what they know because of death threats they have gotten! IF Stern had nothing to hide then no one would be getting death threats to keep silent ! But believe me, Stern has a LOT more to hide then they will ever find out and report on TV !

Daniel NEVER liked or trusted Stern - Stern lied in court about this too ! They were never close or like 'brothers', as Stern put it.
Daniel never used drugs either as Stern has had his people go out and tell that he did ! Anyone who knew Daniel knew his body could not tolerate drugs ! When he had to get medicine from a doctor for something, it had to the very lowest dosage they make and then it was cut in half - to almost being a placebo ! Yet Daniel was found to have 20 times the drugs needed to kill a 200 pound man !
Daniel was fed food by Stern and immediately AFTER EATING THAT FOOD, DANIEL WAS SO TIRED and WEAK that he could not even stand up ; he died within minutes ! This was also the same with Anna - Stern fed her food just minutes before she fell dead !

Virgie is the ONLY one that can offer that baby (HER BLOOD FAMILY) A STABLE HOME WITH FULL TIME TWO-PARENTS and normal people around, and family roots, and family history !

With Birkhead the baby would be no better of then with Stern - Birkhead would be out working all day taking pictures and NANNIES would still be raising the baby ! And we all know that different nannies have raised Dannielynn thus far. That baby needs a REAL FAMILY - HER OWN BLOOD FAMILY ! EVen with Bitkhead the baby will nevre know her own real history ! Birkhead did not know Anna all that well ! He only knew her for two short years !

This is truned into just a popularity contest between Birkhead and Stern with the baby as the "winner take all" prize ! That is a real life - a real perosn who has a right to her OWN real family ! She will never know her mother or brother unless she is with her mother's and her own real family and where they grew up and were most of their lives ! Remember Anna and Daniel only lived in Calif less than 4 years ! They lived most of all their lives in Texas ! ! TEXAS was "HOME" to both Anna and Daniel.
ONLY VIRGIE CAN GIVE THAT BABY - HER BLOOD GRANDBABY - THE HOME SHE NEEDS TO GROW UP RIGHT ! ONLY Virgie can give that baby a NORMAL childhood with normal people around her daily ! A FULL TIME two-parent stable home.
NO ONE else can do this !
If Anyoen cared about the baby more then this popularity contest, they would see this and know that is what is right FOR THE BABY !

Birkhead and Stern are a "package" now. That baby will never be safe or away from Stern if Birkhead gets her ! Those two are a team now no matter how they try to keep that a secret ! It is why Birkhead lost his lawyer ! She knew this joint type custody was NOT safe for the baby !
And after this is all over and evreyone goes home that baby will still have to LIVE DAILY the decisions that are made ! WE out here can forget about it, but SHE WILL BE FORCED TO LIVE IT FOREVER !
And be turned into another imprisoned Anna !
If Stern is anywhere near her in any way, you KNOW this is what will happen until Stern sees her as "in the way" too !
And if Birkhead ever opposes anything Stern wants, he cuold be 'next' ! He better never turn his back on his "friend" Stern, or disagree with him. !
Birhead is in the process of being turned into and "Anna" and he has no idea it's happeneing to him ! He is already having the trustworthy people being cut out of his life, and he has not recognized this yet !
Everything Stern does he does soooo in our faces that we do not SEE what is happening right in front of us, or what he is doing !
You know what they say when something is right out in plain sight ! YOU MISS IT ! YOU NEVER SEE IT !

It has worked out so well for Stern so far !
He cut out Debra Opri from Birkhead, and no one has even made the connection that this is exactly what Stern did to Anna for the past 11 years - it's what he did to Virgie and Anna. It is what he's done to all of Anna's OWN REAL friends !
And this is what will happen to that baby also ! Stern has to rule - - or else !

ONLY Virgie can offer that baby (HER OWN BLOOD FAMILY ) a NORMAL AND SAFE LIFE - and this is Virgie's Family - no one else's !
In reality, any "father" of the baby was just a sperm donor ! Adn Stern NEVER had a sexaul relationship with Anna - Anna would never allow that no omatter how drugged he got her !
Truth is, Anna could not stand Stern. SHE was never allowed to let the outside world know that though ! When you fear for your life and the lives of your son or baby, you do whatever it takes to keep them safe !
Anna tried to get away from Stern; she begged others and her mother to help her escape Stern but no one could get rid of him ! He is too powerful and has too many "high" connections.
That is why those of us who know this situaiton well, call him the Stern Mafia !
HE put out a public warning on Larry King show through one of his people - that "Stern vows to get every single one who has ever said one bad word against him - that he will 'get them' ONE BY ONE ! " Those who know Stern know this is a death threat ! And he has the connections to do it too !

No one knows just what Anna had to deal with ! She lived in fear from Stern constantly - why do you think she had to put up with Stern breathing down her neck every minute !? She hated it, but had no choice !
Anna was a free spirit, and Stern was dangerously suffocating !

1804. Didn't Larry say to a reporter that when he visited his daughter that the baby just happened to spit up on him? Is there DNA evidence there? Hmmmm.

1805. What will it take for her money hungry mother to go away?

1807. Has everyone forgotten that ANS will probably be worth more (without the Marshall mess) now. Kind of like the Elvis evolution. Her earning potential has sky rocketed. Will be interesting to see if he has Trademarked/copywrited her name and likeness yet. Although this should be part of her estate.

1808. 4>>

Last I checked, a woman (Anna Nicole or not) doesn't have the right to take away a man's paternal rights. She cannot just decide...oh well, I think I'll make Howard the father. As we can see by all the drugs Anna took, she didn't always make the wisest choices. Larry is the father and he should be commended for wanting to raise his daughter. Howard just wants the money. I don't know how he thinks he's entitled to Dannielynn's inheritance? As for the baby, I wish that Larry would give her back her real name (Hannah), the one that Anna named her at birth. I don't think any child should have to be stuck with carrying her dead brother's name as she has her own identity. Anna was out of it (mentally or drugged) when she made the decision to change the baby's name. I'd put it back to what it was suppose to have been.

Ah...he DIDN'T work for free, Anna paid for EVERYTHING over the last few years. He had a free ride, and no taxes. At this point it's not Anna's possesions he would be taking, but little Dannielynn's. He doesn't deserve one red cent for kidnapping that baby from her rightful father. He's the worst kind of scum....

1810. Doesn't HKS know that a funeral eulogy podium isn't the appropiate place to vent his frustrations of Vergie and Larry? No class at all!

1811. The more I watch the ANS/hk$ debaggle, the more sick I get. Set the $$ aside, that little girl needs to be made sure she is ok, physically. She no doubt was born addicted, and needs some better medical attention than the average child. Who the real father is..is less importnat than the health of the little child. She seems to be lost in "who's my daddy" mess! From all indications, it would appear it is LB is the "real" father, but with all the lawyering going on, he still won't be able to take his daughter to safety any time soon, and that is a crying shame! I could care less about the adults in this whole case, lets get the focus on the most important part...Dannielynn!

1812. I believe that if he did work for Anna Nicole for free then he deserves some sort of compensation. At the time he is being seen as the bad guy and might be but evryone deserves to get paid for work they do.

1813. Latest Update on Anna Nicole Smith's investigation: Did you know that HKS was seen flushing methadone down the toilet in the hospital when Daniel died! Or that Anna Nicoloe emailed a friend stating that she was in fear for her life!! She stated that if anything should happen to her, for her friend to get her laptop and she gave her password to her friend. That so called "break-in" that HKS reported and conveniently had ET come in and film was just apart of following through with what Anna Nicole suspected would happen.By the way isn't funny how HKS claimed that Anna Nicole purchased the house, then later he recanted and said that the house in the Bahamas was a gift!

The investigation is closing in on HKS! Let's see if HKS's loud mouth sister and brother stand by him when he is chargeed with two murders!

1814. What is it with Bonnie and Gary Stern? Are they sharing the same brain with Howard K. Stern??? Bonnie's lame statement if Birkhead gets custody of HIS OF CHILD, that Dannielynn won't be around everything that she is familiar with ?!? Hello ? who's fault is that? Howard is keeping Dannielynn as his own personal hostage. Honey get a clue the baby will not learn about any of this until she is older! Children are adaptable! As far as complaining that the baby is a prisioner in her own home, give me a break! All of them should be ashamed of themselves keeping an infant away from her REAL BLOOD RELATED FAMILY. Bonnie Stern's comment Fergie won't get the baby over HER dead body? I am sure it could be arranged! Sterns' are not the babys' family, only in their dreams. Once the baby is out of the clutches of the Sterns' she'll be better off and have a chance of living a normal childhood without being exploited in the news. What makes HKS any better than the paparrazzi? He makes money exploiting an infant! What makes me sick is knowing the Bahamian government have yet to put the child in protective custody as the Sterns exploit her!

1815. Bonnie Stern complains about how the windows are covered up due to public curiosity to catch a glimpse of Dannielynn. Bonnie the baby doesn't need to be out and about. It's your choice to be in the Bahamas to get on TV. One infant doesn't need the whole Stern clan to care for her. I can't wait to see Dannielynn returned to the people who REALLY love her and want to take care of her! In the interim, Bonnie and Gary need to know how obtuse they look and sound during these exclusive interviews! Nobody cares about them! We only care about the safety of the infant since her family members have dropped like flies around HKS. Shame on ET for keeping Stern in the limelight!
