Will Virgie Get in Larry's Way? Today's Custody Fight Looms

Birkhead and Arthur tussle.We know that Larry Birkhead is Dannielynn's biological dad, but does that mean he'll get to take her home to L.A.? A hearing is scheduled for 2:30 PM EDT in the Bahamas, to determine who will get custody of the little girl -- we're an hour away from the start of the hearing.

Howard K. Stern has already told Birkhead he won't fight for custody now that Birkhead's been named as the father, but one wild card remains in the large form of Virgie Arthur.

Anna Nicole's mom has stated that she wants to be more than just the child's grandma.

TMZ will have all the custody-day action as it happens!

136. 2. She should let Larry have custody of Dannielynn but she should have visitation.

I think all she wants to do is have visitation, but let Howard andTMZ tell she want to rule the world.

138. Larry will make a great Father. But, Vergie does need something on paper showing
she will have a part in Dannielynn's life. I feel Larry is too nice and Howard $tern
will take advantage of his good nature. He needs a strong person in Dannielynn's
life like Vergie.

141. THE BABY IS NOT A CITIZEN OF THE BAHAMAS.

ALL PARTIES HAVE AGREED.

END OF STORY.

FOR NOW.

142. Hey Vergie, I don't understand why you want to play an active part in the life of your granddaughter when you weren't a part of her mother's life or her half brother's life for so many years. You see, 3 of MY grandparents have passed away but when they were alive, they were always a huge part of my life. I loved them with all my heart! The only remaining grandparent, my grandpa, remarried & moved away & never talks to us or sends holiday cards or birthday cards or anything. His new wife says that he has a new family now & I'm not his grandchild anymore. It has been 10 years since we have seen him or heard from him & I DON'T want to see him ever again! I think you are probably like him & you should stay away from Dannielynn & let her be happy with her dad. You were not nice to her mother & you didn't care about spending time with Daniel. Besides, if she's lucky like I used to be, she has other grandparents who REALLY care about her & won't abandon her. No child needs a grandparent who doesn't truly love them!

143. Rob you should be jailed and ass raped!

144. Tell you what. If the courts lean toward joint custody, I bet Stern's attorney will contest it and counter at that point. I'm sure Larry probably knows that too.

It wouldn't matter whether or not he'll win at this point, it will end up dragging it out even more and yet another delay and more court trials.

I hope Vergie doesn't fight for court ordered rights or she may find that it only served to delay and complicate the situation with Stern exercising his rights as legal father on the birth certificate to fight custody.

145. ROB...............you are one sick person

146. Howard should be made to have to stay in the Bahama's forever and be with those to dead people and never be able to leave since he said he would never leave them .Since he probably contributed to the death of both he should be locked up there .. He is guilty !!!! of m-----ring Anna ..By giving all of those drugs to her ..What a bastard he is ..

147. btw, isn't the baby still ordered to stay in the bahamas? Did Vergie's attorney lift that order yet?

Posted at 11:19AM on Apr 13th 2007 by Fair is Fair

148. LISTEN to what Virgie has been saying for past ten years on TV interviews, etc. Virgie WANTED to save Anna's life by getting her off drugs and AWAY from controlling STERN.
Virgie's called, etc were stopped by STERN. STERN kept his vulnerable host seclued from those who LOVED her.

Vergi LOVED Anna - on TV Vergi BEGGED Anna to please get away from STERN and come to her because her life might end up like Dannie - Vergi KNEW and tried to save both Danniel and Anna.

So why should ANY man who had sexed up DRUGGED UP out of her mind Anna Nicole get rewarded with a $400 million account and an innocent baby who would benefit from real love and care of her grandmother and Anna's family?

Why should any man who has sex with a drugged up Anna be rewarded - instead of help accountable to law. REMEMBER - Anna left the USA to get away from Birkhead

149. #4: Couldn't agree more. That little girl did not choose that vile woman for a grandmother. I don't believe in grandparents rights, at all. Decisions like that belong with the parents. Anna had zero intention of allowing Arthur anywhere near that child. I believe she had very good reasons for that. Hopefully, Larry will make the right decision and keep Dannielynn far away from Arthur as Anna did. Larry has a lot of family and they seem to be good people. Those that don't have "Mommy Dearest" as their background of experience with children are the ones Dannielynn needs. That definitely rules out Arthur.

150. TMZ is spinning this as they do everything..Slamming Virgie with the Large ....I now know why HKS and I do not like the man is upset and I hope he does sue YMZ as they spin things to the point that we the stupid public help their case along..Virgie only wants to be assured she will have GRAMMA RIGHTS! ANYONE a gramma here? well I am and I know what it is like to be cut off from your grand children or never be allowed to even see them! TMZ YOU SUCK!
