Celebrity Justice
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.

16. There is still the chance Larry is not the father.

19. If Larry is really all about the baby he will give Howard what he wants , take the child and go where noone can find them.

20. No dice. This is blackmail. I think they should do an audit of Anna Nicole finances for all these years. He had control of EVERYTHING. He was probably robbing her blind while she was high as a kite.

21.
No matter what happens, it seems the bottom line is always about money. Like the judge said, "Money is the root of all evil"...

22. I'm no attorney, but there must be a name for what Howard is trying to pull! Extortion, maybe? "I'll give you the baby, which isn't mine and I don't want anyway, if you give me the mansion and yacht?"

Exactly how does a man with absolutely no blood ties to the baby, believe he is entitled to the inheritance her mother left her????

Hey Howard, looks like it might be time to get a FUCKING JOB!

23. larry should agree to it to get his daughter. and then have everything invalidated. larry cannot give away the baby's property until he is deemed her legal father. so any agreement before he gets her should be of no value.

24. I thought that SELLING A BABY was illegal!! Howie, you are the lowest trash on this earth!! Go ahead and sell Dannielynn to her REAL FATHER. You will lose everything in the end. Karma is just waiting to get you like you got Anna & Daniel. It can't come soon enough.

25. I can't believe this jerk. When I saw the clown video he made of "the Woman I Love" my "friend and lover" I wanted to cry. when I heard his voice say "I'm kidding" I'm Kidding" I knew then he was an abusive A$$. Get that baby as far away from him as possible and cut the cord. He isn't worthy of the title "trusee". He belongs in jail

26. IF this is true, and I like to read these stories with a grain of salt... can you say PARASITE? The man has no shame, no pride. Can you even call him a MAN? Is he actually bartering for this baby?

Pathetic.

28. I think you would really have to love Anna to stay with her as long as Howard did. I would have left faster then Larry did.

29. As if Team BIRKHEAD is in the position to negotiate her assets?

30. Maybe now some of you will begin to see the BIG PICTURE where Howard Pimp Stern is concerned. He wants money from the Marshall Estate when and if it's settled, and much more.....it's all about money for him, and always has been. Example: He's now willing to give up the baby for MONEY AND MANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.....i.e., money and property.

He should be investigated in many areas (including criminal).
