Celebrity Justice
Virgie Arthur -- NOT Mother of the Year

Virgie ArthurWe're told Virgie Arthur will be fighting for custody of Dannielynn, whether Birkhead is the dad or not. But when it comes to Arthur's track record in child rearing, it's pretty clear she won't win any awards.

Rewind to 1993. Arthur's son, Donald Ray Hart Jr, then 21-years-old, was busted in Conroe, Texas. But it was anything but an ordinary arrest. Hart was charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with three friends. The victim -- a 33-year-old paraplegic. The abducted woman watched in horror as her kidnappers waived a butcher knife in her direction, and discussed plans to murder her. An informant's tip foiled the plot.

Hart pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison.

But that's not all. Hart was also convicted of theft -- he pled guilty to stealing a bunch of livestock.

By the way, Arthur's daughter, Anna Nicole, also hated her. So is Arthur the best candidate for custody? You be the judge.

93. if you judge every mother by their children's actions, come on... a mother can give love, security, education and insight... but she cannot make the decisions for her children. you love them to death, but they have lessons to learn and alot of people make mistakes and it is NOT their mother's fault.

virgie arthur should have grandmother's rights and they should be monitored like every child's visit should be. just because someone is a grandmother doesn't make them smart and able.

its ultimately up to larry, the father.. to check thoroughly out the people, family or not, that are in the lives of your children.

leave mrs. arthur alone and give her the respect she deserves. she has done what she could to raise her children alone. all by herself. handling this is huge.

she should be reviewed by larry for the safety of his daughter.

95. I still like a mother or friend that is strong enough to say, "stop the drugs, or get out of my sight." I have seen pictures of Vergie and Anna together having a ball, partying, drinking...girls gone wild stuff. So Vergie must not have been that horrible to Anna. I do think Anna was sexually abused...I mean..most strippers are. I feel sure that when Vergie found out about that...the guy was tossed out on his a__. For some reason...Vergie drew the line at "drug abuse." I guess drinking with Anna was okay. Most people can't drink 24/7, but lots of addicts can "drug" 24/7.

96. TMZ is working for Howard and ET now . It is not responsible journalism to attack like that TMZ, makes you look foolish and too eager to get out of a lawsuit from Howard. See ya its been fun but the party's over now, movin on

97. I Hope all you Virgie haters end up with a child that gets them selves into big trouble one day.. Lets see who will blame you... Be real.. the size of the person or what their children do when grown is no way to judge a person. Geeze.. Anna was just as fat at one time.. give me a break. If Anna's friends were so great she would be alive now. I still say.. friends don't let friends get drugged up and go on live t.v.

98. PS to my comment about Anna being molested by one of Virgie's husbands/boyfriends. If she was a cop for 20 some odd years, why in God's name did she do nothing to stop it? I think there was more to that than Anna said. Did Vergie ever comment on it? Who knows if it was even true? And I am NOT a Vergie fan!

99. Shame on you TMZ

Vergie (OR ANY MOTHER) is not responsible for a grown man's actions.
It doesn't matter if it was her son

You shouldn't be bashing her when she had nothing to do with it!!!

I suggest you get a grip!!!

Posted at 11:33AM on Apr 10th 2007 by just my own opinion here

100. This woman makes me cringe on so many levels.

Go home Virgie............your morals and reasons for being here are disgusting.

Go home and pay attention to your other children. Work on building relationships with the family you already have vs. trying to weasel your way into Dannielynn's life.

Anna clearly said she didn't want you to TOUCH HER BABY.

Buy a vowel.
Get a clue.
Grow up.
Go home.

If she raised him better with some class, morals and respect he wouldnt have done it.

102. A parent can only do so much to teach their children right from wrong. When they leave the house, the parent no longer has control over their children. For instance, they had to use reverse psychology to get Britney Spears to stay in rehab. This son incident should not reflect on Vergie as to whether she is a candidate for mother of the year or not. And I don't even care much for the lady.. she chose to publicly humiliate Anna is the only problem with her.

103. she really needs to accept that she lost her daughter years ago and using her baby to fill that void is not going to happen! whether its for the money or for some "empty void" it is not happening!

104. You should have posted the picture of the offender next to this story instead of Virgie. Your intent was clearly to bring shame, but it should be brought to the offender not his family. It's called accountability.

105. I don't think Virgie should have the baby but Good parents sometime have bad children and bad parents can have good children.
