Celebrity Justice
Birkhead and Virgie Still At Odds

TMZ has learned Virgie Arthur is making it very difficult for Larry Birkhead to assume the role of daddy.
Virgie and Larry
We're told Virgie is trying to block Larry's move to take Dannielynn back to the U. S. of A., unless Larry agrees to share guardianship with her. Virgie also wants sole guardianship if Larry dies while Dannielynn is still a minor.

Virgie's conditions are curious to say the least, especially since we know the Bahamian judge has already said that he would probably allow Larry to take the baby to the U.S., provided he return with Dannielynn for the formal custody hearing on June 9.

Larry and Virgie are due back in court tomorrow and the judge could lay down the law and clear the way for Larry and Dannielynn to take the first jet that smokes out of Nassau.

In spite of Virgie's demands, Larry has allowed her to visit with the baby, but we're told Larry feels like Virgie is trying to act like she's in the middle of a marital custody dispute. This just in -- she's a grandma!

16. Vergie wants, Vergie wants, Vergie wants...access to all that money. I hope the judge kicks her ass all the way back to Texas.

17. No one here has respect for anyone. This is an elderly woman who just lost
her Daughter and Grandson to death and now she is afraid of losing another
family member (Dannielynn) to god knows what. Let's not forget Larry seems
to be quite close to Howard. Everyone is trying to make Vergie look like the
bad person. Remember HOWARD!!!

18. Why won't this crazy, greedy vicious woman leave him alone? She has said numerous times in the past she didn't want custody. She has been lying the entire time. She is so overweight she can hardly walk, let alone take care of or chase after a young child. Any judge who even gives her extended time with the baby is nuts. This is Larry's child, she has no right to cause him any more pain or money he has to pay attorneys to fight her. Anna was 100% right about Virgie. She is definitely in this for the money. What a horrible disgrace of a woman.

20. Virgie needs to let it go already, she already proved that she was a bad mother to Anna, and a bad grandmother to Daniel, now she is doing the same to Dannilynn. Really Virgie if your grandchildren are so important to you, why the hell didnt you fight for the right to see Daniel when he was alive, and I repeat "because Anna was alive and would have never tolerated that". Go back to Texas and sell the pics you took of Dannilynn, because we all know thats what your looking for is some cash, and leave Larry and Dannilynn alone already..

21. She is evil ... she needs to know her place! You don't see Larry's mother asking for this, do you?

22. Virgie, please allow Dannielynn's Father take the child home to form a bond with he and his family. You are not the only Grandmother, nor family member. Larry apparently has a wonderful, tight knit family that will give this child the love and support she will need. You (Virgie) are not the best example for Dannielynn, ergo..your own Daugher and Son...you leave a lot to be desired in the child rearing matter. Dannielynn's Father and family are much better suited to raise this child. Let go.

23. Larry has teamed up with Howard which caused me to loose all respect for Larry B.

Virgie should get $$$...Anna Nicole was HER DAUGHTER. Virgie has not exploited Anna or used her like all these other have done.

Since Larry teamed up with Howard, I don't blame Virgie for going farther to maintain a presents with her granddaughter.

After Larry teamed up with Howard I no longer trust him to do right by Dannielynn or do right with Virgie as GRANDMOTHER TO DANNIELYNN.

24. She needs the baby money to pay for her expensive attorney fees! How do you think a fat slob from a Texa trailer park intends on paying for a high profile attorney and several trips to the Bahamas???? Her granbabies money of course! She thought she had ol Larry in the bag when all this went down and now since Larry and Stern are getting along so grandly she is really scared she is gonna be the one left out in the cold. Get your fat ass back to Texas lady and leave this man be with his baby!

25. Ok, I had nothing against Virgie before this, but now I am starting to question her motives. Why the h e l l is she ruining her relationship with her Granddaughter's father????? Larry will allow her to be a Grandmother, but she doesn't have any more rights to this baby than his Mother does.... For someone who was so worried that Howard might harm the baby, why is she delaying Larry getting the baby out of the Bahamas and away from Howard? Larry as the father has every right to name his own guardian for his baby should something happen to him, and that should be one or more of his siblings.

26. What is wrong with this woman!!!!! Greedy , self centered, money hungry B***H.! She should just leave Larry along. Dannylynn is HIS Daughter! He should have same parental rights as anyone else. Her mother died, he has custody of his daughter. SIMPLE. he should be able to take her anywhere he wants to. What about Larry's mother? If virgie wants to be a pain then larrys mother can say she wants custody too Why not? Maybe that would shut the old bag up.

27. I thought Larry would be more receptive to Virgie, but it seems he favors the maker of the Clown Video.

I think deep inside Virgie feels defeated by Daniel and Anna's deaths, and I think she hoped Larry would feel the same, and team up to file a wrongful death suit. But, as long as Larry is cool with Uncle Howie, Virgie knows it wont happen.

I dont approve of badgering, but before I judge I want to know EXACTLY what Virgies terms are, and if they include blocking Stern from being in the babies life...then I do agree. However, I dont' agree with Virgie blocking Larry from taking Dannilynne out of Bahamas. Get the baby out and far away from Stern.

28. Virgie go away! Do you not get it- we do you money hungry, limelight, poor excuse for a mother & grandmother. Anna didn't want you in her life & we know why. You should be glad that larry let you see dannielynn. don't over step your boundaries. Anna is probably turning over in her grave. She cannot even rest in peace. This shows you what not to do to your children. You are a disgrace!!!

29. She isnt even showing up for the hearing Wednesday. She has no dog in this fight. I think once Larry is out of that country he will not go back. He can just send his lawyers in his place. I read that Larry is going to Kentucky before he heads to Californa to see his family and let them meet Danni.

30. I heard that she even was able to hold the baby and play with her for an hour in a lawyer's office the other day, with Larry in the room. Anna is spinning in her grave right now! The last thing in the world she wanted was for that horrible excuse for a mother/grandmother to get her greedy hands on Danielynn! The bitch is in it for the baby's possible inheretence. Take money out of the equation, and she'll disappear like yesterday's garbage in the landfill. If only Anna had updated her will and put ALL of her wishes in writing... Poor Danielynn! I pray she finds love and peace with her daddy Larry (and maybe Uncle Howard, who's been nothing but accomodating and supportive to Larry since true paternity was announced).
