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

151. Tammy..DL is NOT a citizen of the Bahamas...she is a legal resident...as the daughter of a legal resident she can, when she reaches maturity, apply for and be granted citizenship but no...the Bahamas aren't interested in keeping her in their country or with HKS, they are just making a custody decision for an under aged, legal resident.

152. Vergie is not after the money. HK$ is the leech who lived off of Anna for years! Birkhead just wants his baby!

BTW, Dannielynn has no money and will never be a million dollar baby! Read this article in a law review:

Anna Nicole's Daughter is No Million-Dollar BabyAfter the courts rule,Anna Nicole Smith's daughter probably won't get the big estate

153. windy: The Oman #124

Because the baby was born there and the Birth Certificate was issued in the Bahamas with Howard Stern's name as the father and he was living with Anna who was a resident there. Also the baby has never been registered with the US Embassy. Doesn’t make good common sense but that is how it is.

154. I'm sickened buy this. Larry has just lost my respect.

From Fox News:



Sources: Larry Birkhead Cuts High Six-Figure Deal With NBC

NBC's Six-Figure Deal for Larry

Now, it’s Larry’s turn.

After enduring months of watching Howard K. Stern sell the rights to his story, Anna Nicole Smith’s story and “licensing footage” to Paramount TV for millions of dollars, Larry Birkhead is ready to reap the rewards of paternity.

Sources tell me that Larry cut a high six-figure deal with NBC for the exclusive access to his success story. The deal, they say, was cut by his former attorney, Debra Opri, back around the time of Smith’s funeral.

“It’s in the high six figures,” says my source. “It’s enough to cover the money Debra Opri says he owes her, with plenty left over.”

Opri is suing Birkhead for $620,000 in legal fees. The case is now in arbitration.

I’m told the deal was actually cut through NBC’s Bravo channel for documentaries about Birkhead.

The way it’s been explained is this: Everything Birkhead does for “Access” will be repurposed for Bravo. And it was “Access Hollywood” executive producer Rob Silverstein who delivered Birkhead to NBC’s “Today” show for an exclusive interview with Meredith Vieira. That appearance was also covered by the Bravo deal.

When I found him yesterday on the “Access” soundstage, Silverstein would only say, “I’ve never seen a story where so many hands are out.”

He pointed to Virgie Arthur, Smith’s mother, as another example of someone who wanted money for interviews (she got it, for a while, from ABC).

Of course, Birkhead’s fee is nothing compared to the money sources say Stern has made off the death of Anna Nicole Smith. That figure, my sources report, is now as high as $4 million. This column reported that Stern and Smith had made a deal with Paramount TV back before her baby was born. Then, when the baby arrived and Smith’s son died, “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” began their long exclusive arrangement with Stern.

Sources also insist that Paramount Television paid for Smith’s lavish Bahamas funeral. “They put $300,000 into Dannielynn’s account,” an insider insists. “That’s how they bought their access.”

But now that Stern is old news, and no longer of interest, “ET” and “The Insider” are out of the picture. Since the DNA test results revealed that Birkhead is the father, the Paramount shows no longer have access to the story. “The Insider” has become “The Outsider.” On the last couple of shows, their reporter “on the ground” in the Bahamas has been relegated to using public information to look exclusive.

Birkhead will need all the money he can lay his hands on once he takes custody of baby Dannielynn. Although he’s billed as a photographer, it’s unclear what kind of career the 34-year-old really had in that arena other than taking pictures of Smith. A few years ago he called himself a celebrity journalist, and wound up in a lawsuit with USA Today over a story about Sharon Stone.

And here — to parody “ET” — is some breaking news you can only find in the FOX 411: Birkhead is said to be in the middle of negotiations for a million-dollar photo shoot of himself and the baby with a celebrity weekly. The suspects: Us Weekly, Star, OK!, Hello!, Life & Style, In Touch Weekly. Why not? He’s going to be buying a lot of diapers soon.

Birkhead did have another career in mind before he met Smith. According to public records, he got a Kentucky real-estate license in 1993. But the license, according to the same records, expired on March 31, 2007.

If Birkhead moves back to Kentucky, he would probably be the best known real-estate agent in the state, which is a good thing, since he wouldn’t be able to touch most of baby Dannielynn’s inherited multi-million-dollar estate.

156. I REALLY DISLIKE THE WAY THIS SITE PORTRAYS VERGIE. MABE SHE'S NOT MOTHER OF THE YEAR, BUT I HAVE YET TO READ ANYTHING NEGATIVE POSTED ON THIS SITE CONCERNING BONNIE STERN OR HER BROTHER, OR HOWARD.

YOU CAST VERGIE IN THE LEAST ATTRACTIVE LIGHT POSSIB.E, AND ALWAYS SEEM TO INCLUDE HER WEIGHT IN YOUR COMMENTS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. DISGUSTING.

IF SHE TRIES TO FIGHT LARRY FOR CUSTORY, OR IF SHE TRIES TO GET JOINT GUARDIANSHIP, I BELIEVE SHE WILL LOSE. I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE ISSUE ANYMORE, NOW THAT HOWARD IS OUT OF THE PICTURE. I THINK SHE WANTS TO KNOW HER GRAND DAUGHTER. I DON'T THINK SHE COULD POSSIBLY, IN ANY WAY HAVE CONTROL OVER ANY OF ANNA'S ESTATE.

THE VILLIAN IN THIS SAGA IS HOWARD STERN. I DON'T CARE HOW TMZ TRIES TO CAST A FLATTERING LIGHT ON HIM, A TROLL IS A TROLL. YOU MUST PAY TO PASS. HOWARD IS A LOW LIFE. NONE OF HIS BETTER QUALITIES PEOPLE SPEAK OF ARE BACKED UP BY HIS ACTIONS. HIS ACTIONS, AS A MATTER OF FACT, DEFEAT THE BELIEVEABLITY OF ANYTHING HE SAYS HE'S DOING.

GET OFF VERGIE UNTIL WE SEE IF SHE'S REALLY THE MONEY GRUBBING CONTROL FREAK YOU PROTRAY HER AS, WHILE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO IMPROVE THE IMAGE OF A KNOWN MONEY GRUBBING CONTROL FREAK, HOWARD STERN.

158. Virgie lost two children to one son of a bitch and I am sure she does not want to go through that again so she should have some kind of control if an occasion comes up and Dannielynn is into drugs and being allowed to take them ,I don't feel it will ever happen because Larry seems to be a wonderful guy but you never know .. Especially if he becomes a very wealthy person . Money does crazy things to people ..

162. ClownPuppy and Vickie...

I don't know which show you saw but I saw cameras get in Virgie's face and her attorneys and BOTH said they wanted to work it out with Larry and then her attorney said, "She WILL be looking for joint custody" and that was yesterdays info. I didn't see anything on Greta last night that indicated one way or another and I still have it on DVR. Both Virgie and her attorney have been very careful of what they say in front of the cameras so as not to "tip their hand". Even Greta, when she couldn't get a read on what Virgie's attorney wants or what Virgie was going for, made the comment, "Does it matter once she'd back in the US? Does the US have to enforce a Bahamian court order?" Watch, it'll end up a fight and Virgie will lose. And even if she doesn't, it'll be a loss once all are back on US soil.

163. Birkhead vs Grandmother

Ethics: Man who had sex with drugged up woman vs Grandmother

In some parts of world - would it not be criminal for a man to sex up with a DRUGGED up woman?

ANNA left the USA to AVOID Berkhead !!!!!!! So now the man who had sex with a drugged up woman should be given all her riches while kicking her biological blood family away?
