Birkhead and Baby Back in Larry's Old Kentucky Home

Larry Birkhead is back -- finally -- on American soil with baby Dannielynn, and it sounds like he's ready to have some fun and, for his sake, eat some home cookin'

A distinctly gaunt Birkhead touched down in his hometown Louisville airport not long ago, and told our friends at WDRB FOX 41 in Louisville, "It just feels good to be home," adding that he's ready to "relax and horse around," which was appropriate enough given this Saturday's Kentucky Derby. He said he'll be heading to the Barnstable Brown party on Friday, which has particular meaning for him -- and his daughter -- as it's where he first met Anna Nicole Smith.

Birkhead shed a few tears as he spoke to reporters, but kept his baby, who has spent her entire life thus far in the Bahamas, shielded from view. He also wouldn't reveal whether he'll be staying in Louisville with Dannielynn, where his mother lives, or take her to his home base in Los Angeles.

"This is one pit stop," joked Birkhead.

16. Bittersweet in many ways for Larry - This is where his journey began with ANS - 3 years ago this weekend - he returns with their child - and without ANS - emotional time for him I would say.

Glad he is 'home' tho..............

17. Yep, he's home with his daughter. I hope he gets some good home cooking and several good nights' sleep! Keep the baby close, enjoy your family, you've earned it!
Many prayers and blessings to you both.

18. Does anyone else think that Larry looks like a Young Robert Redford? I just saw "The Way We Were" and when I saw Robert Redford sitting on the bar stool, I swear he reminded me of Larry Birkhead..... Larry is a good looking MAN, I wish him the Best Luck with his new daughter.....

22. People are watching you Larry.

Better hurry and get away from any sleaze and protect your baby. Vergie has the right to make sure that you do the right thing.

We are the ones who buy magazines. We can make or break you. WAKE UP!

23. Larry,
Try to see an attorney while you are here and settle the custody in the US. Vergie is not through, she loves the limelight and she wants MONEY.

24. How can Larry afford a private jet or was it Access Hollywood's plane? I heard
there was a camera crew on board. How much is Larry being paid for all these
Access Hollywood interviews? It seems a little exploitive to me. Does every single
move or thought Larry has have to be chronicled? Time to disappear Larry...because
it's in the best interest of the child.

25. Why is howie with him?

26. The way he nuzzled his baby when he left the Bahamas. The way he shielded her when he arrived in Kentucky & sent her on ahead as if to say, "this publicity is going to end". I don't think I'm wrong about this guy. But you know how the press is, how can he avoid them? They're everywhere & if he doesn't stop & talk to them they'll start calling him names & turning the "sheep" against him. But they probably will anyway. That's their nature - build them up then tear them down. You need money to buy a private gated estate to keep the animals away & I hope he gets that .

That "other" Jane posted at the same time I did. Weird! I am the positive one.

28. Skinny guys are hot, but Larry is NOT! He loves all the media attention and if he turns on those crocodile tears one more time, I'll vomit. That poor kid if going to be completely mental by the time she's 5. "Where I got my start as a journalist!" Puh-leeze. Maybe TMZ will hire him.

30. 17. Could someone tell me how Birkhead is going to support the baby? He told the court he earned $67,000. a year. He hasn't worked in how long? How is he paying for the apt. in CA, the lawyers, the place in the Bahamas, the lawyers in the Bahamas, the private jets back and forth from CA, FLA, Bahamas????? Gee, is he going to live OFF THE BABY BY SELLING MORE PIXS? ACCESS HOLLYWOOD has said THEY HAVE NOT PAID HIM ANY MONIES.

Don't worry too much about Larry supporting Dannielynn. The local NBC affiliate in Louisville KY just reported that Access Hollywood paid him $1,000,000 for the exclusive rights to photographing the baby, interviews, book deals, etc. He will also get the profits from some of the deals he made in addition to the million. Larry will make more money now exploiting his daughter than he ever did as a photographer. I wish him well but would hope he lets that beautiful baby have the right to a normal life out of the gossip rags.
