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.

31. ANS has been with him for many years, whether they were using each other or not, who knows. But she publically stated he was her lover, husband etc.( I doubt it) I say give him the house, boat, a few bucks & get the baby to hell away from him & get him out of everyones life.

32. Doesn't the guy deserve something for his years of devotion to her? For years he has done whatever she wanted with no compensation other than room and board. Both ANS and HKS clearly intended to raise the child together as the parents. They moved to the Bahamas to have the baby for that express reason. Whether she had died or not, it might not have worked out and Larry might have gotten custody at the end of the day.

So, it would seem pretty equitable to give Larry the baby and Howard the stuff.

33. There is a word for what Howard is doing:

EXTORTION

34. Debra Opri won't sell Larry out. I trust she will give HKS the LEAST amount as possible. But I understand. It's really better for the baby to get her in her father's care asap. That said, what a bottom feeder that man is... I hope some district attorney somewhere eith in the Bahamas or Fla. will indict his ass SOON!

35. If Stern was not the father and knew it then why did he drag all of this out in court and stuff? If I were Larry Birkhead, I'd sue Stern for all of my legal fees. What a bottom feeder and enabling scum-sucking murderer Stern is.

36. I say give him a free ticket to prison and just make him go away and the rest will fall into place. He deserves absolutely nothing but a life sentence

39. Don't give HKS a red cent !! See how this plays out , the tide is turning and HKS will be caught in the undertow that he created .. ANS died to soon , he didn't have everything in place yet .

40. Money and Greed don`t succeed!! That bastard, he shows his real self more and more everyday. He drugged Danniel to get rid of him. Then he drugged Anna and kept her in a drug induced transe!! That SOB has alot of balls to think that he deserves any money. If he is worried about permanent housing he needs to look no futher then a correctional facility in the US. Hey, he might not be able to get a screw every now and then. But he can live life and not work. He should be locked up in the filthiest of fitlth. IF you ever followed the Anna Nicole Show you would have seen how much Howard annoyed her!! I hope he is walking with his tail between his legs!! No woman in their right mind would touch that scumbag!!

42. Anna would want Howard to have control of her money. That's all there is to it.

43. Anna would have wanted Howard to have something...HELLO - He was practically married to her! She was about to make it legal too. He is the one who has been a constant in her life - he deserves something. Esp. the home they shared...it probably reminds him of her. He did a lot for her.

44. Please, leave Howard alone. If Anna has chosen him to be with her and with the baby , then it is her wish. And she knows what is better for her and her baby. Let all people stop criticising him please. He has the right to do whatever he wants. Birkhead was kiked out by Anna, and he should stay out.

45. What a disgrace he is to his FAMILY!
Just a few days ago his ister posted here about how good he is. What is she thinking now when he tries to blackmail people to get a few bucks out of the poor child?
What does HK$ mother and father think? Poor people, having a son like that!
I hope that NOBODY ever contact him again. Now TV shows with the bastard! No friggin interviews, no nothing!!! Let him go somehwre where he rots away!
