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.

NO HOWARD DIDNT! ANNA DID.. Larry was going after Anna! she died it ended up in Howards lap! and Larry was a dumb ass going to california and florida to try to get custody he should of went to bahama's to begin with. I agree Howard should of did the paternity test right after anna's death.

it wont be long now before the chips fall into place and howard finds him comfortable cell.

Posted at 11:22AM on Apr 20th 2007 by howard is a non-issue::::what he says is worthless

78.
Larry may decide that a life of lawsuits is NO life at all!

If the LAW does not find wrong-doing on Howard's part, maybe Larry won't look for any. The same with the inquest of Daniel. Let the court do their work and see what happens. The docs might be the focus of lawsuits.

Larry and Howard may actually need each other! Only THEY have the shared experience with ANS, who was beautiful and charming but a TRASHY, SELFISH BITCH!

NO ONE has been more of a Stern hater than I but I realize that HATING and being vindictive takes too much energy. Larry has his baby and I hope they will have a happy life!

80. It's unbelievable that you Virgie-bashers are so nasty toward the biological maternal grandmother, Virgie. So far the paternal grandmother, Judy, has not demonstrated interest in her son's daughter. On the other hand, Virgie is at least out there getting in HKS 's and LB's face. HK$ is a heel. Anything that ANS told him is not important. He needs to be arrested and prosecuted. Not given freedom to express his unwelcome b.s.

After reading most of your nasty opinions from yesterday about Virgie's personal life, the rape against her by the son of the man who married her mother, Paralee, the birth of other children, etc. Hey, many of you were not even born back when the Beatles hit the music scene around 1963 and ruined youth - and , their relationships with their parents and grandparents ever since. Virgie became a hippie; she is the product of the "free love generation." As you now are becoming aware, it was mostly about Rape and the crime of incest against children. ANS was not the only victim here. Her mother is too. In fact, ANS chose to die; Virgie wants to keep on living for Dannielynn. So, now shut the f*** up!

Furthermore, your own parents may have been Hippies ----- shake your own Family Tree. You may have some rotten apples of your own drop on down.

81. 66. It seems the custody hasn't been decided yet because at the end he says that he isnt sure if he will have 1 seat or 2 on the plane. Am I the only one that caught that?

=============================================

Suzanne, I think it's because he doesn't know if he'll be holding the baby during the flight or it she will have her own seat.

----------

Larry has ALWAYS said that Virgie could be a GRANDMOTHER. If all she wanted was to be a grandmother, she wouldn't have held this up another week. It would have all been tied up in one neat package last Friday, but she wants to sue HKS for $$$$$ and she wants some of the Marshall money. She cared so much that she allowed Splash to go with her to view her daughter's body. That was uncalled for and was done for money. If something should be filed on behalf of Dannielynn, then so be it, but don't make HER pay the price for it. She should have been allowed to get on with her life last week. I am sure that she has caused Larry to think twice about seeing his child now, but she has no one to blame for that but herself.

88. 50. 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.

I PRAY I am wrong...

89. I am happy for Larry Birkhead and the baby...I think Howard in an enabler, I do not think he killed anyone.....

I think Vergie was a mother to Anna, and she wanted a second change with DL. She needs to understand that Anna and that baby are different people. She had her chance to raise Anna...and to be a mom to her. That time has past and no matter what she will never be able to "redo" it. All she can do now is be a grandmother to DL in a grandmother role.....It is up to Karry Birkhead as to whom he wants to be DL guardian in case of his dealth.

Vergi has to understand that she is not DL's only relative now...she is not the only grandmother........she is not the only one who cares for her...and LB should not be forced to give her any special rights.....
One seat or two...he has to decide if she is going to be a lap baby or have a seat of her own.....HMMMMM......

90. Can anyone name one thing, a proven fact and not rumor, that Virgie has done to prove that she "deserves" any rights at all regarding DL? Last I checked grandmothers only have some rights in the absence of both parents. I can't believe this is even an issue.

I kinda have to wonder if Virgie is in need of counseling after losing both Daniel and Anna, both were so sudden and inexplicable. Whereas, I question her parenting skills, I don't doubt her love. She probably wants DL to help her overcome her grief and move on with the only remaining child she has. The only problems are 1) it's Larry's daughter 2) she is probably not emotionally capable of any heavily scheduled visits. She needs to let go and address her own grief.
