Deal, No Deal

Birkhead, Opri, SternLarry Birkhead's lawyer tells TMZ there will be no negotiating with Howard K. Stern.

Debra Opri says the only subject of negotiation is "how fast he [Stern] will produce the child for a DNA test and how quickly he will allow that child to go to California with her real father."

As TMZ has been reporting, Stern has been asking Birkhead for some involvement in Dannielynn's financial affairs after paternity is established. Now Opri says, "There were never any deals. It was a one-sided discussion."

Opri tells TMZ she did not want to respond to Stern's overtures until after the funeral. Birkhead's hardline stance now puts the ball in Stern's court -- will he submit Dannielynn for DNA testing or will the fight escalate?

It was Anna who refused DNA, not Howard, he was not a party to the paternity case before. It was Larry who brought it before Anna. Howard was no where listed. Thats what I mean about misinformation. This is slanderous, malicious and a witchhunt. I personally think it was done by Colonel Mustard, in the dining room, with a wrench. Thats my guess. Its about as accurate as your information, and its funnier.

Some people are forgetting a few things in your haste to prove someone guilty of something. They are saying that Howard kidnapped the child. How can you kidnap a child that is yours as per the birth certificate??? How do you know he isn’t the father? Were you there with ANS all the time 24/7 and seen everything that happened behind closed doors? You are saying Howard
ran to the Bahama's to escape the paternity suit. Anna Nicole is the
one named in the suit not Howard. Anna wanted no part of Larry for
her own reason's which we may never know. But it was her choice and
she made the choice. Ford Shelly testified under oath that him and
his father-in-law were the ones who talked to Anna about going to the
Bahama's and also stated that Howard was not present at the time. He
arrived much later. So they are the ones who helped her leave the
country to get away from the paternity suit. Also the paternity suit
was not filed until AFTER the baby was born and the death of her son.
She was grieving for her son and needed NO further stress. Why wasn’t the paternity suit filed months before instead of waiting till her son died? You can file paternity suits before the baby is born if you so desire to know the paternity. He supposedly witnessed the taking of drugs in the hospital. Why didn’t he report it or try to intervene then? He was with her at other times when she took drugs but yet didn’t intervene.
So many people were in a position to intervene yet they turned their heads and did nothing. No one is innocent in that respect.
It was told recently, by an attorney in the Bahama's that has
access to the court filings that NO paternity suit has been filed in
the Bahama's with the Bahamian courts. There is a fraud case filed by
Larry Burkhead’s lawyers in regards to the birth certificate.
The baby was born Sept 7th 2006. Figure back and the conception date would be Dec 18th or before. We know she was with Thompson and Shelly during November and December. She said G. Ben Thompson was the father. Supposedly he had a vasectomy. But do we have proof of that? Did they present the follow-up test results after 2 months and 3 months? So he could possibly be. Also Larry said in his e-mails that she had been with other men. Could it be one of those? It was also reported that her and her husband Mr Marshall saved some of his sperm for future use. Did she use it?? Is the baby perhaps his???
Ford Shelly also testified that he went into Anna's house and took items belonging to her. No landlord can legally enter your home for any reason without you being there unless an extreme emergency. Her dying was NOT an extreme emergency. Now those items are showing up on TV and in papers and magazines. They are stolen property and therefore those news outlets received stolen property according to the law.
People keep accusing all involved of wanting her money. WHAT MONEY. There isn't any. She had to borrow from friends just to live. The Marshall estate may never be settled. That money is rightfully theirs as heirs of Mr. Marshall. Anna was only married to him for 14 months. His family was with him their entire life. They deserve the money before anyone else.
As for the insurance policies. Perhaps Howard didn’t know about them. I have 5 paid policies and none of my kids or grandkids know about them nor who the beneficiary is. It’s no ones business and neither is Anna’s policies if she does have them.
Her mother didn't attempt to contact her or help her in anyway once
she left home. No matter what the reason, Anna wanted no part of her
mother or the rest of her family. That was even before Howard Stern
as many of you have forgotten. Her mother went on national TV and
aired her personal laundry. What child wouldn't be upset? I would be,
as Anna was. Just because her mother was in law enforcement in some
capacity for a number of years doesn't make her any better a person
that anyone else. There are hundreds of law enforcement people in
prisons today for all sorts of things such as murder, child rape and
molestation, child porn, bank robberies and many, many other
offenses. So you can't say she is definitely an upstanding citizen.
Everyone has secrets in their life. Everyone in this entire mess has
some sort of secret they want to keep hidden. Even all those numerous
lawyers. No one is perfect. NO ONE.
So until all the facts come out about her death and the death of her son and you have absolute proof all of you should stop the accusations and stating such things as Larry is the father, Howard is a murderer, etc and you need to stop posting such things.
Remember a child in involved and some day she may find out who you are and come to you with a lot of questions about why you said these things about her mother and others she may care about that is
involved in all this. So please watch what y

On Nancy Grace last night it was said there were no policies on Anna for Howard, or anyone else. Another rumor, JN thank you for saying all of that I concur. Unless it has been proven between last night and today, there are no insurance policies on Anna Nicoles Life.

I don't know if they read these boards, but I would tell you, you probably would have to stand in line. I am sure both he and Howard are being followed around. I know how you feel. I identify with the loss and the suffering, I am sure they both have felt. I am sure Larry had strong feelings for Anna, and I am sure his position in this is hard. I have had 2 men I loved die. One I had a child with. It is devastating even without media coverage. I feel for Howard the same way. I identify with Howard more. I do think he has gotten unfairly attacked over and over again. I also think he should have the baby, regardless of what others think of my position.

What the Heck,

But surely HKS can NOW have the DNA paternity test done on Dannielynn. Please don't give the excuse about legal issues. It doesn't have to go through the court system and it never did. Both sides can agree on a neutral lab and get the test done and know in 24 hours.

With all the craziness that surrounds poor Dannielynn's life, she should at least be able to know who her biological father is, without delay and without turmoil. There is NO excuse for not finding out. A five second cheek swab and a 24 hour wait can clear up one BIG part of all this.

Step one is: Finding the biological father. Step two is: for the powers to be to determine if that person can offer a suitable home.
Howard Stern needs to prove both of those points. I sure as he$$ doubt he would get any points under step two - *IF* (haha) step one found him to be.
Just my opinion.

Wanna know, in defense of myself her posting was exactly the kind your talking about. Trying to compare Howard to couey. Telling people they should be in rehab if they think differently that she. She really pushed my buttons with the parenting stuff. I work hard and take pride in my skills. I don't normally talk like that, but frankly if I were Howard. I would let the legal system sort it out at this point.

Unlike you I think at this point in Danielynn life consistency and love are her biggest needs, the biological father if he cared about her, would feel the same. Later other issues can be addressed. She is 6 months old trust me she doesn't care who her biological father is. As she ages it can be explained to her and involved with her. I dont feel this way about every situation but obviously this situation is different. Her mother went so far to set this up, it is clear it was her intention regardless whether its Howard or not.

I just saw an interview that was done with the "Prince" and he said those two men are not the father. So again It is a complicated issue. That is my opinion. Trish

rescue the baby:  1801 days ago

Reading, talking and posting is great . . . but also . . . please get ACTIVE !

The governmental authorities do not necessarily read the internet blog sites and comment lines BUT they sure do know they are being CLOSELY WATCHED when they have floods of emails, letters, and phone calls directly to them. ( Even people who may have been paid off have to think twice when the whole world is watching them! Their own necks could be later shown to be involved if they do not do the right thing. )

It is a fact that governments listen when directly contacted.

It takes people to open letters and emails, and answer ringing phones . . . and those people will tell others about the over flowing concern and watchfuul eyes regarding the baby and this case.

Let them actually see how much the world is caring and watching from their over flowing email boxes, mail boxes and phones ringing off the walls!
Let them actually see that THE WORLD IS WATCHING THE BAHAMAS and demanding that they act quickly !

Let them know that their future tourism and economy could ride on how quickly they get the non-tampered with DNA paternity test finished and put the baby with her real biological family to bond and be safe, along with how well they investigate everything and everyone else related to this case.

Give the following contact info to all your friends and relatives and have them also contact the Bahamas.

The heat is on and HKS is going to take little Danny with him on a KOOLAID ride.....along with all the methadone left over in the fridge, and then they will all be dead. He did say, " As long as there is breath in my body, Vergie will never lay a hand on Dannielynn". When he becomes trapped....he will chew off his own leg and kill them both off and end the story........Shakespheare couldn't have written this kind of schtuff.......This is movie and storybooks in the making.......No wonder we all are glued to the tube and news. Never in history has another story been more watch.......oh yeah, OJ.....who claims he can be the father.......sha right........the baby is white????!!!!????? And let us not forget Princess Di........My, my.....the reason it is panning out this way is that HKS wrote the book a long while back and this couldn't have been more perfect for him......We let one kook get away with murder.......are we going to do it again?????

What the heck (Can I just call you Trish from now on?)
You say that the child can be told later - but what if that child looks at Larry (or whoever the biological dad is) and says, "Was I not worthy of you fighting for me? Did you not want me? Did you think that connection you feel with a blood relative, regardless of the circumstances would just vanish? Do you know I have felt more disconnected from my self and from love than what I read of my own mother?"
Respectfully, I disagree - that child seems to have not been with any one person consistently - except the guy in the bed's mom, what was his name - Shane Gibson??? Howard and Anna seem to have taken lots of trips. The child's mom couldn't have been herself after having lost a son so tragically, so I doubt that they could even have bonded. My mother dropped me off from house to house - I eventually ended up being raised by one person, but I have lived Dannilynn's life - I was her age when my father died.
Just because you like Howard and his name was placed on the birth certificate doesn't make it right, IMHO.

Well I would tell her the truth, that is was really difficult, but she had just lost her mother and I was more concerned with what was in her best interest. I would tell her she was more good enough to fight for, but I would always be there for her and am here now. I wanted her to be secure.

I would not let 10 years go by I would participate in her life all along, I just would not remove her from where she is. I would tell 2 men loved her mother very much and so now she has both these men to love her.

My son is going to grow up probably with out one, I am not very inclined these days. We cope with the lives in front of us. If you had stayed with one person it might have been different. Shanes mother is bonded to her, and was to Anna. So is Howard, even if you think he is not doing it right.
