Howard K. to Hire Pit Bull Lawyer to Nail Naysayers

Lin Wood and Howard K. SternTMZ has learned Howard K. Stern has had telephone conferences with Lin Wood -- the lawyer who represented Patsy and John Ramsey -- and will hire him to sue members of the media who have accused Stern of committing homicide and other offenses.

We're told a retainer agreement has not yet been signed, but Stern and Wood have agreed in principle that the uber-aggressive lawyer would file various lawsuits against certain members of the media.

TMZ contacted Ron Rale, Anna Nicole's lawyer, a named executor in her will and Stern's friend, who said, "I will confirm that retention of Lin Wood is an imminent possibility." Rale added, "Certain members of the media might want to think about mitigating damages."

In the Ramsey case, Wood filed numerous defamation claims against media outlets, including Time, Court TV, FOX News and others, for pointing a guilty finger at his clients.

4246. I wish everybody would stop bagging on Howard. The poor guy just lost the woman he commited to, her son he had known and loved for years, and now he has to give away the baby he's been caring for for months.

I cant imagine that a single one of you negative people wouldn't take the exact same actions if you were being slandered and accused of murdering your loved ones like he has been!

4248. 4246. The fact that Howard Stern has hired a PR firm to pay bloggers for him is all over the news.

Yeah, he is but I can tell you, they are ripping him off!!! He must have gone to the bargain house!
They just can't make an argument and one is even trying to do a "genealogy" of Virgies family to try and PROVE how bad Virgie is. lol

Posted at 6:29PM on Apr 28th 2007 by so what??

4249. I notice there are paid bloggers that are pulling up things on members of Virgies family ,true or not, going back ,I believe one said decades of abuse, I think it is only fair to attack the villian HKS and LB's family in turn,even though I am sure THEY are not bad people that is responsible for HKS and LB's "bad deeds" and their sorrid lifesyle. But hey, fair is fair. Plenty is going to be comming out about both HKS and LB, so I wouldn't push the family thing ,it if I were them.:)

Posted at 6:40PM on Apr 28th 2007 by all is fair in family bashing?

4250. I am elated that Howard is sueing O'Quinn! O'Quinn is brilliant and Howie fell right into it! I assure you, HKS, will drop that one real fast when he realize what he got himself in for. He should have "practice" law a little longer instead of squatting and living off Anna for the past 10-12 years. Gotcha HKS!

4251. 4253. The cost of the boat was $400,000, over twice what a 10 year old Carver 39 is worth. Howard bought it from King Gibson, Shane Gibsons' father.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So, Howard is caught in a money laundering scheme? Figures. And you would think after they were found out about how Anna got her quickie status in the Bahamas they wouldn't have the gall! Well, just goes to show ya, criminals just can't quit,no matter what.

4253. Howard I can say one good thing about you-which is baby seems healthy! It is too bad that you had to bring so much on yourself thru greed and dishonesty.All you had to do was tell the truth! You lied and all the PR firm in world is not going to change what everyone watched to include the clown video.You are all about money! You advised and did things that are wrong -so whatever the law does you have it coming to you. You should of especially as a Lawyer relized not only what you were doing was unethical but also against the law. All the money for legal defense that you paid went for nothing.Things happen often when we self-destruct which is what you did.I do not hate people that is not the Christian way-but you also have to be held accountable as we all are for our actions and obeying the law is important-if you break it then you suffer the consequences.

4254. One thing for sure by reading this site-keeps the blood flowing ,exercise your fingers and a good laugh here and there.I also agree on the paid folks-you fool no one as the same writing styles.My doctor tells me to exercise and enjoy life and some of the comments are flat hysterical! People get mad at someone else never once considering that perhaps another person simply typed in there handle to start an argument which I have seen about 50 times.

4255. You people are really something. putting howard down! he worked for anna all these years with no regular paycheck and yes she did pay for his apt. in Ca and his SHOES but come on. he was with her 24 /7 ! he deserved it. and he deserves to get something ! you all make me sick. where was virgie or even larry. when the tough got going with larry he was gone! and virgie well she is another evil woman who if she cared for her daughter heck or high water she could of helped her! i dont blame howard for suing all these media outlets because he was wrongly accused. nancy grace with all her comments etc. she should of made more comments about virgie than howard! good for you howard!

4256. Who cares about Howard K Stren...Once a liar, always a liar ! PS., Howard, you need to have sexual intercoarse wjth the WOMAN in order to produce a baby... that's how it works.

4257. Mary you are so right. I would like to know who everyone thinks is a paid blogger on this site? May be Faye Mitchell!!!!!!!!!! She hates HS.

4258. Bunny-wrong person ! Now on occassion as I did complain to TMZ as well as several others about using my name.But I believe in honesty I am in fact 62 years old and my name is Faye Mitchell. I simply voice my opinion and their is paid bloggers-but not me sweatheart.

4259. THE WAY I SEE IT IS:

HOWARD, AS A LAWYER, GOT ANNA'S "MARSHAL CASE"
ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR HER...

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE COST ANNA
FOR A LAWYER THAT DEMANDED HER TO
ACTUALLY "PAY" FOR SERVICES?

HOWARD PERFORMED SO MANY SERVICES FOR ANNA,
INCLUDING PROMOTING HER CAREER.
DID HE GET PAID? "NO"...aLL right - He got paid with shoes...etc...and a lot of heartache!

HE HAS JUST LOST "3" PEOPLE OUT OF HIS LIFE...
I THINK HE HAS TURNED OUT TO BE VERY CARING
AND PROTECTIVE OF DANNIELYNN.

WHY DON'T YOU COME UP WITH "PROOF" OF GUILT...OR LEAVE HIM ALONE IN PEACE?

ALL YOU NEGATIVE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM ARE JUST "SPECULATING" OUT OF HATE...
YOU REALLY KNOW "NOTHING" OF THE TRUTH...

LARRY BIRKHEAD IS A GOOD GUY...
AND HE NOW KNOWS THAT HOWARD HAS A PURE HEART.

HOWARD IS INNOCENT...THAT YOU WILL SEE AFTER DANIEL'S INQUEST...

THEN I WILL BE BACK HERE TO REMIND YOU THAT I TOLD YOU SO...
