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.

46. Its about time things went right for the baby---this circus has to stop and Let Larry get his daughter , go home and be a dad and for heaven sake, Virgie--get a damn life----I think she should see DannieLynn but that is all---she keeps her mouth shut as she sure did not do well with Anna and I can not believe it was all Anna just by watching Virgie's actons and body language--you dont have to be an expert to see what she really is--grandstander first class.
Go Larry and have a happy life with your baby daughter.

47. I'm sure Virgie lost her fight, but Larry will stick to his guns about giving her visitation. I hope Larry can get Dannielynn's passport sooner than 2 weeks. That is ludicrous! She can't leave without a passport. I also hope when they leave, he doesn't look back, and wipes Howard totally from their life. I think Larry was "sucking up" to HKS until he got his baby away from him.

48. I lost all respect for this woman when she was lying in the court room about getting money for the Daniel gravesite interview. I know Anna was on drugs and stoned out of her mind when she was interviewed about her mom, but I am beginning to understand her rage about this woman. I really hope that she is not allowed to have joint custody and she is not allowed any money. She has got true issues. This is so degrading to the memory of her daughter and when this baby becomes a woman, she will be seeing all this and then know who truly loves her and is out for her best interest. It is not Virgie Arthur.

49. One seat or two means because she is an infant. Some airlines allow parent to hold baby.

53. Mary ever think Larry is just sweet talking HKS, he will get the baby out of the Bahamas and go back to the states then LB & Virgie will let the suits against Howard begin. Larry & Virgie are not at war believe me. They are carefully planning.

54. Howard K Stern has NO right to criticise anyone for holding up anything. Its BECAUSE of HIM and ANNA that this has played out as long as it has...

Larry I hope you remember how HKS has fought you and cost you thousands....pick the bastards brains about what Dannielynn likes but change her habits and food choices asap to rid her and you of anything that connects either of you to Howard.

57. Absolutely wonderful!!! As a mother myself, I can't imagine how Virgie could be such a total and complete *donkey* about this whole mess. I wonder if her flight home is handled, and if she ever paid her lawyers. I say good riddance to Virgie and best of luck to Larry, Dannielynn, and their new family.
