Celebrity Justice
Birkhead Blasts Cosby: Calls Book "Pure Fiction"

Click to return to TMZ.comLarry Birkhead came out swinging tonight on CNN's "Larry King Live," telling TMZ's Harvey Levin that "Blonde Ambition," the new book by Rita Cosby, is "pure fiction" and should be sitting next to "Harry Potter."

Larry also responded to what Rita told FOX's Bill O'Reilly tonight, as to why the two former enemies now get along. Larry says he simply decided to put the best interests of his daughter first, so he buried the hatchet with Howard. Refuting what Rita claims in her book, Birkhead states flat out -- there were no secret deals between him and Stern.

Larry's bottom line -- he'll see Rita (and everyone else) in court.

34. No. 1 - To begin with - who cares if Larry and Howard were gay? Is the daughter getting a good home - you know - you CAN have a decent home even if the couple were gay. I had friends in the same situation and the daughter grew up in a gay home rather than a violent, foster home. And she thrived and was very happy. So, who cares? This is all about money - money for Rita, money for Jackie, money for Debra. Leave the kid alone. She sure looks happy to me ! What is their problem? They are mercenary, vicious, selfish people after MONEY ! Rita - SHAME ON YOU, I thought you had more class !! Larry may have his faults but give him a break - he is the father and was proven to be the father. Amen. It is OVER.
You go Larry - be happy with YOUR daughter!!

35. did anyone else catch how larry was suggesting rita and debra were lovers by him saying that he could 'make the exact same allegations about them' but he wouldn't. i also caught a few more things too. maybe they are- that's why they exchange info so freely and do each other favors!?!?!

Okay I am female adn good judge of character... You knwo what turned me off about Opri from the get-go? She comes off as a pushy, dominating, controlling bulldyke. No offence to lesbians, but she'd give any group a bad rep.! Having now seen Rita on tape, I'd say the same thing! My hubby saw a her and said Oh MY GOD is that a drag queen????
I think Larry was also alluding to drinking excessively. Who knows what else???? But It sure sounds like Opri was very unethical as Larry's Lawyer and I do believe he has a valid case. Oh yeah and he is right about rita being on MSNBC's dime while in Florida and I think she was so sleazy by interveiwing his family and others without letting them know she was writing a book.

36. Her first tooth. The first walk. The first sentence. We can see it all for the right price. Geez...he's already taking offers for DL's Sweet 16.

37. I haven't seen the whole interview, but just from the clip, I think Larry is probably lying. Seems like I learned somewhere that when a person looks up to the left when answering a question, it is a lie. Something to do with body language.

38. I think Mark Spear(s), the security guard Larry mentioned, should sue Larry for implying that his background was shady. It's okay for Larry to insult and insinuate about people, but do it to him and he yells "SUE"!

He was so smug tonight. He thinks he's got all the answers. I'm waiting for the day that someone wipes that smug look right off his face. Nobody likes a smart aleck.

39. The same language Rita uses so does all of Virgie's friends use here......

It would be a new low for Virgie and her friends to do this to another human being.....a new low.....

40. #26 Amanda - You must be Rita Cosby or how else would you know so much about her??You writing an unauthorized book full of lies and made up stories is despictable. And you, Opri, have you won a case in the last few years???? Both of you are slimy snakes to try to ruin Larry's life. Larry, you are doing a great job raising Dannielynn. Don't let all of the jealous dipsticks get you down.

41. Nice Rolex Fairy!... Dannielynn must have bought that for you.... Fairy, what is your schedule like on Thursday? LOL Is the Baby feeling better?

If you think the tape doesn't exist... .think again... lol!!!!

Howard has Fairy by the balls... literally! Great Job Harvey! You put these dumbasses on the carpet! Ron Rale is the worst Lawyer ever! I loved watching Opri get him all tongue tied! Fairy, what's it like sitting next to Rubber Head Ron Rale on Larry King... Ron used to be the enemy.... maybe Larry and Ron have a special relationship too... lol

42. This was to be little Dannielynn Birthday......a happy time for this baby.....

Rita and her low-life friends.....are TRASH.....

43. Larry's body language was horrible. He made a huge mistake by coming on the Larry King show. He is uneducated like Anna and is allowing the news media to help him show his stupidity. He seemed to be lying through his teeth.

44. I think her book is a bunch of rubbish. I expect she will be paying big $$$ for writing this trash. Jackie has been proven by many, not to have been a friend of ANS. Anna didn't even like4 her. I wouldn't believe ANYthing this woman(or Cosby)says about anything. In my opinion she(Hatten) just wants her name in the media/news

45. AMANDA PANDA M-----------

Puhlease stop SHILLING for RITTER and VIRGIE--------
No matter what WIKIPEDIA says, Rita's integrity and career are NOW over!
Along with her very close good friend Soap Opri.

And yes, Virgie needs to stay strong...after her lawyer--she's next.for good reason.
