Celebrity Justice
Birkhead's Bahamian Exit Blocked

TMZ has learned Virgie Arthur has filed an appeal, attempting to block Larry Birkhead's ability to take baby Dannielynn to the U.S.
Virgie and Larry
Arthur has objected to a judge's ruling allowing Birkhead to take his little girl to the States, providing that he returns with his baby for a June 9 custody hearing.

Arthur's appeal is unusual to say the least, since she is a grandmother who herself lives in the U.S. Ironically, she is the one who argued that Anna and Daniel be buried in Texas and not the Bahamas. Now, she wants Anna's child to stay in the Bahamas.

There will be public court hearing tomorrow. Stay tuned.

16. Will someone tell me how this pig gets away with this? She's not the parent-he is. Why is she able to block him from taking HIS child ANYWHERE? Some judge needs to inform her she has NO RIGHTS to that child. It's up to Larry Birkhead if he EVEN wants her to be able to see that child. What an idiot she is. Is there NO judge in the Bahamas with enough guts to put her in her place????

18. Someone give this woman a large tropical smoothie laced with a lethal dose of chloral hydrate.... She walked across her daughters grave! And wer'e supposed to believe she has this childs best interest at heart. NO WAY, she has this baby's potential money at heart. Somebody shoot her and put us ALL out of our misery...

19. This poor man!!! This is ludicrous. All she is doing is prolonging the inevitable, but it is SO UNFAIR to both Larry AND Dannielynn. They need to get home and get on with their lives. She better be careful. He's a nice man, but I think she has pushed this too far. I am going to hope the Bahama court will do the right thing and let Larry bring his daughter home. I'm praying, Larry and Dannielynn:) God bless you both!!

20. In the beginning I felt sorry for Virgie, but now it seems like she has her own agenda going instead of thinking about what is best for the baby. I think she needs to back off and just be a grandma and forget about trying to take over. Larry seems capable enough to work things out for himself and his daughter with Virgie butting in. I bet attorney O'Quinn is the one pushing this so that she gets a share of the $$$ and therefore he gets paid.

21. Now let me get this straight. She believes HKS killed AND and DS but she is fighting Larry and blocking him leaving which keeps the little girl with HKS a supposed murderer in her opinion. She is truly a piece of work and showing her true self more and more everyday.

23. Will she be sanctioned $10,000 also? One can only hope!

24. VIRGIE will never stop - - even after Larry gets back to the US. She will do one thing after the other to interfere with his life.

25. To be honest, I felt sorry for her in the beginning....but OH NO....lately she has been a pain in the butt.....she needs to back off....I don't feel one bit sorry for her now......No wonder Anna didn't like her, and when Dannielynn grows up, she will read all about this and resent her grandmother.

26. Why doesn't she leave them the hell alone!!!!
I can see why Anna disliked her so much.

27. This woman is pathetic. I hope that all of this legal nonsense is worth losing the opportunity to visit with her granddaughter at all. Virgie Arthur is all about Virgie Arthur. Not about her daughter or her grandchildren. A disgraceful woman who is getting really bad legal advice. Remember, this is the same piece of trash that filed an appeal on the day of her estranged daughter's funeral and held that up, in addition to showing up late.

I would feel sorry for her if she were coming from a good place. But she is not.

There is no rational woman in her sixties, looking to parent an infant. There just isn't.

My advice to Larry Birkhead -- once you have custody of your daughter, do not let this stupid animal anywhere near her. She is a disgrace and an outrageous woman.

She makes Howard K. Stern look like Robert Young!

28. Thanks, TMZ, for keeping us updated. Best wishes to Larry tomorrow.

29. And we wonder why she is referred to as "Mommy Dearest" ?? She's got a lot of class - - too bad it is all third !! The money signs are controlling her and her lawyer.
There is no mention of Larry's parents in this debacle.
