Birkhead: I'm Calling My Travel Agent!

Click to return to TMZ.comLarry Birkhead just emerged from a custody hearing in the Bahamas with a big smile on his face and said, "I gotta call my travel agent," suggesting that he was getting very close to taking daughter Dannielynn home.

Minutes later, Howard K. Stern emerged from the courtroom and slammed Virgie Arthur for holding up the custody process, saying that she "proved herself to be what Anna Nicole always told me."

The three parties were in the same room this morning -- perhaps for the very last time -- to determine custody. Virgie Arthur is seeking guaranteed visitation of Dannielynn and wants to be her guardian in the event of Larry's death. While he didn't go into specifics, Birkhead was visibly pleased with what transpired in the courtroom, but left some room open, saying he didn't know whether he'd need "one seat or two."

Virgie slipped away without a word.

16. AMEN - surely this man will soon be home with his daughter and they can slip into some sort of a normal life.

Vergie - you should have walked into the sunset long ago - you have definitely proved yourself to be why Anna despised you. Maybe a little therapy for those pesky little control issues would benefit you now.

17. I understand Virgie's concerns but this is not the time to act. Let Larry bring his daughter home. If things do not go her way with visitation, then take it to court.

19. Since Larry was telling the world he was the father before ANS died I think he truly does love his daughter. I hope and pray he cherish's his daughter and she has a happier life then her mother did.

24. Hopefully Virgie will slink back to Texas and crawl back in the hole she came out of. Oh, wait. She's got to meet with a ghost writer for the tell all book you just know she's going to write. Note to Virgie: the book I'll buy is the one that tells all about your skanky self.

Seven Months later...
"Howard K. Stern came out of the hearing and slammed Virgie Arthur for holding up the custody process..." -TMZ

Yes. That Howard K Stern.
The one who engineered the move to The Bahamas and used every trick in the book to stop the DNA test. Including a challenge to The Bahamamian Constitution.

You have entered the Twilight Zone.

28. virige is the rude thoughtless pig (not poor alecs daughter), just looking at her makes me want to vomit.

29. I'm in hopes this all went Larry's way! As far as Vergie, I do hope she can get Grandmother's rights of visitation, but not custody. As far as Howard...absolutely nothing! I think he has denied Larry from times Larry deserved with his baby girl for all toooooooooo long!

I just hope some snake doesn't try to snuggle up to Larry and destroy everything for him. Snakes can put on some awfully beautiful faces and figures, can say the sweetest and cleverist things. Just be aware, Larry, seek your own mother and father's advice!!!

As far as being concerned about selling pictures of you and Danielynn...go for it!!! Your fans all want to see you and your baby...together at last! If you can make some money to help pay for all those expenses it took you to get there...good for you!!!
