Birkhead and Stern Hug it Out

In a remarkable twist, the onetime arch rivals Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead hugged each other outside the courtroom.

Before hugging, Stern said Birkhead was welcome to come to the house and spend as much time with baby Dannielynn as he wanted.

301. Is anyone aware that Howard lost not only Anna but also Daniel so close together? I often wonder if any of the compainers and whiners have ever lost anyone to death? Or did you forget what it's like go lose someone, and Anna just died so suddenly! Is Howard an angel? No, I am not either and neither are any of YOU. Howard has done the best he could do and I for one support him and say let's give the man a break. He is grieving, people, wake up and get a grip on reality and stop attacking what YOU are too shallow to understand.

302. That is a bunch of B.S.!!! You are entitled to think what you want, but you are only deluding yourself! Like they would let anyone or anything influence them. I'm sure they only considered hard, cold FACTS!!! If he did look shell-shocked, it was only because Anna Nicole let him believe he was the father and he truly thought he was. No, I am not a Stern supporter or paid blogger...just someone that hoped for an unbiased outcome!

303. 301. well, i see that howard's amateur public relations squad has been around.

that does NOT look like a two-way hug to me.
howard would be very stupid--stupider--to try for slander.
1. he has no damages. his net worth has increased.
2. he will never go under oath.

carry on, stern fans.

304. I thought this was a very honorable act on the part of Stern.
Today is the first day that I have felt true sympathy towards him. I hope this mess ends for all parties involved soon!

305. STERN WAS JUST HUGGING LARRY TO FIND A GOOD SPOT TO PUT THE KNIFE IN.

307. HOWARD, WE LOVE YOU. YOU ARE A TRUE FATHER NOT JUST A SPERM DONOR.

308. CONGRATULATIONS LARRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now Larry,
Just a little advice from a complete stranger ..........
Go back to your hotel suite and take a long hot aromatherapy bath. Wash that STERN STENCH off of your beautiful, sweet body. Please don't let him hug you again (you didn't look pleased).

Do not make any deals with Stern, et al! Never let those people near any of Dannielynn's inheritance! You be the trustee. She will thank you when she grows! Look what they did to ANS $$!

Get your child out of there as soon as possible (after transition), and take her home. Start your new life. Stern has kept you apart from YOUR child, cost you a fortune and made your life hell! The transition should not take too long. You are a very likable, lovable guy. You have a lovely, supportive family. Dannielynn will come to love and need her REAL DADDY & family quickly, I'm sure. Dannielynn is very young and she will never remember Stern or the Bahama nanny's who are the people she really was bonding with at Horizon's. Baby's have small brains, at this stage of life, they forget the past very quickly.

If the courts keep you in the Bahama's for any length of time to "properly" bond with Dannielynn, then take Ford Shelly up on his offer of staying at the Horizon's Home and remove Stern & the family Slacker's! Why should this cost you and your family any more $$ than this already has? It will help DannieLynn to stay in her environment during this time as well.

I hope you intend to allow Dannielynn's grandma Virgie into her life. She needs to know her grandma & her mama's side of the family (even if they are not perfect). Teach and show her love, not hate. With you and your strong family support and values, Dannielynn will grow and blossom into a beautiful mature woman (just keep Stern, et al, far away) .

God bless you, your family & be with you always. He makes a darn good listener too!

309. DID YOU CATCH THE "SUBLIMINAL" MESSAGE IN THIS ARTICLE?

Stern's people are going to milk this for everything it's got.

Stern's not doing anyone any favors. He's inviting the baby's father to come see his baby -- and in a house it has yet to be proven even belongs to him.

And then the article itself! Hah! I said this way back when the parties first came forward that this was going to end with Birkhead and Stern on the same side, with Virgie out in the cold.

Birkhead and Stern became lovers shortly after Birkhead came into the picture. Anna thought Birkhead was cute and wanted Birkhead's sperm because she wanted to have a baby.

You watch! If you watch this unfold, we will see Stern and Birkhead getting more and more cozy, almost like a couple. Pretty soon, they will be living together. As to whether they come out of the closet, who knows. But their affection for one another is evident.

But talk about planting the seed and taking the potential sting out of the rumor that they're gay. Ron Rale said it himself, ""Howard not only wants Larry, but Larry's entire family that is in the Bahamas to come over this evening to start getting to know Dannielynn."

These articles are carefully worded. Rale's statements are carefully worded. The phrasing alone in the statement, "Howard not only wants Larry" has deeply provocative implications. And it also sounds innocent enough to make people dismiss the "first thing that comes to their minds."

Stern also knows there is no way he is going to be awarded that house, which is why he's making his protestations to Birkhead public knowledge. "I'm inviting him over, world! Now watch how well we get along! We're going to be 'best buddies!"

Going to be? They were from the very beginning. Whatever lovers' spat they had over who was muscling in on whose territory was laid to rest when Anna's body went to the Bahamas.

And now the dress maker and his lover are doing interviews. Somebody carefully made that decision to put them on television. It's just another tactic to warm the public and get them used to the idea that Larry and Howard will eventually settle down and raise the baby together, as a couple.

I feel at peace now, knowing that the baby is going to be taken care of. If Stern and Birkhead manage go shut Virgie out of the baby's life, then I'll feel bad for her. The baby is her flesh and blood, and that means a lot to some people. To others, blood ties don't mean anything. I don't think Virgie would have come this far if familial ties didn't matter. I think Virgie and her attorneys are starry-eyed concerning the money, but she knows she'd be out of her element when it comes to managing any Trust the baby may be entitled to. She would leave it up to the lawyers and the whole thing could end up squandered.

So I am at peace. I'm glad sexuality was left out of the equation because it would have added an entirely unnecessary component to this soap opera. But at the same time, I feel kind of cheated that the truth couldn't have been made known at the beginning.

Best of luck to all the players!

Especially to Daniellynn. But I think she's in good hands.

xx

310. Howard K. Stern is repulsive. He has ALWAYS known that he is not the father, yet kept Larry away from his baby by spiriting her mother off to the Bahamas for the birth. That is simply unforgivable, as well as aiding & abetting Anna's drug abuse. Despicable man!

311. if any of you were actally anna nicole fans u would kno that Howard was anna's best friend for almost 13 years(watch the reality series, anna admits this in almost evry episode). he was the only one she ever tusted and he was the only on who never stabbed her in the back or sold her to the pess. Howard would never have done anything to hurt her or daniel. they were both his family.

as for dannielynn, im glad she will now know who her father is and i hope larry keeps in touch with howard so he can tell dannielynn one day about how incredible her mother really was because howard was the one who knew anna best.

312. With all that's gone on lately it's nice to see them finally on common ground. I think Anna Played them both like fiddles, she was very controlling with the people in her life and she know Howard would do anything for her, right or wrong. Howard wants a smooth transition for the baby so she doesn't get distressed. I would hope that Howard could remain in the babies life and one day tell her the good things about her mother. She was a beautiful person despite all the drama in her life.

313. THIS HUG WAS INITIATED BY HOWARD, NOT LARRY.

LARRY IS JUST BEING COOL, AND THE GOOD GUY HE IS.

I WONDER IF LARRY'S SKIN CRAWLED WHEN HOWARD HUGGED HIM LIKE MINE DID.

314. I myself thinks that Howard was doing what any man would do He was told that he was the dad of dannielynn so there for he wanted to hold on to what he had thought for the lil time he had a baby girl ! Some things he may have done was wrong !! But Just think if you was in hes Shoes what would u have done ??? But We now know that Lerry the wonderful man he is Can now hold hes head up high and know that he will have hes baby soon I wish you the best Lerry !!!! And I just really hope that Howard and Lerry after all this is done can still be friends and Howard and hes Family can still be a part of Dannielynn and Lerrys Life God Bless all of y'all
