Celebrity Justice
Birkhead Not Fan-TAB-u-lous -- Lawsuit Imminent

Larry BirkheadIf you believe the tabloids, Larry Birkhead is a deadbeat, IRS-defrauding, shoplifting, child-abandoning, secretly gay man who parties 'til the wee hours of the morning with beautiful women, impregnating some of them. A slew of tabloid stories have been adorning supermarket checkout lines this week, and we've learned Birkhead has had enough.

TMZ has confirmed that Birkhead hired ferocious celebrity lawyer Marty Singer to sue some of the tabs for defamation of character.

We're told Birkhead has told Singer that a few tabs have lashed out at him because he sealed a deal with OK! magazine to publish the first pics of daddy with Dannielynn. OK! paid dearly for those pics and the money is going into a trust account for the baby.

61. And so it all starts again! Howard was slandered in the media and you all bought into it. Now it's Larry's turn. Why do people believe everything they hear? The nanny videos made Howard look like he drugged and underfed Dannielynn yet we see a healthy , happy baby in those adorable pics. He was accused of murder on national tv yet both deaths have been declared accidental overdose. Don't blame either of those guys for suing those who are out to ruin their reputations. Good luck to both of you, keep taking good care of that precious baby girl.

62. Virgie sold pics of her grandsons grave to splash. She doesnt have access to DL so no surprise she has not sold pics of the baby. She is definately acting like an ass... a greedy one at that. I knew her and Oquinn would start attacking Larry, but didnt think it would be this soon.. hummm wonder if Virgie got it....Larry is not giving her anything on paper!!

63. 16. Lets just give custody to Howard, the only decent one in the group who really cares for dannylynn and certainly loved anna nichole.

Right on!

BTW why did Larry sell out to the tabloids in the first place? Nobody in the regular media wants him? He's got the movie with NBC isn't that enough? Why didn't the NY Times approach him for their Sunday magazine section, or Parade Magazine or something that is read by all rather than the tabloid stuff?

The UK is ALL tabloids all the time. Not like the USA.

64. Larry can't hide from the public forever..he can sue all he wants..maybe people would have a different opinion if he stopped grandstanding in the media and this latest spread..give me a break..for DL's trust fund...haha..you mean for Larry's future fortunes on the tails of his daughter's undershirt and on the wake of Anna's death.

67. Hey folks,

Check out Perez's recent posting claiming Larry Birkhead is gay. Does it occur to anyone that Perez is a straight man, pretending to be gay? He makes it out like Larry is a bad father for being a homosexual. Strange.

Does anyone remember the site www.pagesixsixsix.com? Back when it was actually funny? Before Page Six threatened to sue and the name was changed to www.perezhilton.com?

It was around this time a former actor named Mario created the "Queen of All Media" character - the one that has become increasingly flamboyant as the number of hits (and therefore the number of $$$) roll in. I think our dear "Perez" is nothing more than a straight man who has created a character that is a parody of a gay man to disguise his gay bashing and hate-filled rants as "gossip."

Talk amongst yourselves.

70. EDYSgrl why do you think Larry is a good person..what drugs are you doing..oh maybe you are not overweight like anna was and maybe you did not give your son a cross to wear without you boyfriend berating you shortly after your son's death. yup wonder what drugs you are on? Or is it his looks that sweep your logic away?

71. Why did Anna Nicole leave home and stay away from her mom? That woman is evil and is out for the money she couldn't scam from her daughter when she was here. I don't believe she has an honest bone in her body. She wasn't a good mother and darn sure isn't going to make a good grandmother away from the cameras. Why didn't Daniel visit her once he turned 18? Because she is not the loving, doting grandmother she tries to portray now. It's all about the money people! And what kind of loving mother says all the vile and evil things about her daughter when she had just lost her son? I saw the interview with that witch after Daniel's death and I would have cut her out of my life forever after that. What Anna Nicole said about her mother was all true. Wake up people and see Witch Vergie as she really is. Leopards don't change their spots!

How many will get on the ban wagon.

75. The tabloids are just jealous because they did not get to sneak around and get the pictures. Larry has a right to decide what pictures he wants published and who publishes them.
