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.

61. Larry may be able to deny and disprove every allegation in Cosby's book but I am not sure he can back up his statement of wanting to do what is best for his daughter. Clearly he is self motivated because I can't imagine any parent would agree that having an US Weekly or an OK! camera in your infant and now 1 year old daughter's face is in their best interest. This is all about manipulating the situation to his advantage and he's got his eyes on that big score of the Marshall money that he thinks is due to Danielynn but I think he's going to be in for a shock when he doesn't get any of it. Then I guess he'll be forced to sell the trimmings from her first haircut to pay the bills.

62. I have no idea whether any of the allegations are true. One would think that someone wouldn't publish a book without evidence but then again this is a pretty crazy world. But I sure hope the inquest goes forward.

63. Cosby and the publishing company have ALREADY dotted their "I's" and crossed their "T's". They knew the prevaricating responses and "techniques" of HKS and company and are completely in control. Let little Howie Sperm bring it on, - to his (and Larry's) own legal demise. You're fools to believe otherwise.

65. You know - the sales of the book does NOT say otherwise. Because people (in general, ) buy trash. Pure trash. They love to hear the WORST about other people. No one (or very few) like to hear the GOOD about people. It is a very sad commentrary about the human race, but it is a true one - people love to hear the bad things about other people. But this is about a little girl - give her a chance - her FATHER (that was proven) has her now. And she sure looks happy to me. LEAVE THEM ALONE !

67. A 1979 Gremlin and a $10 bank account? More than howard owns on his own merit, no?

to hear him tell it, he dont even have a bank account and certainly not a car.

68. Reality Check............

It's the same audience that would buy OJ's Book and live off of the Enquirer.
Sorry, the intellectual crowd won't be buying it.

However, I can't wait to get her books for 1.99, becuase as eco-friendly people, we can use them to line the kitty litter boxes.This will somehow redeem the wasted usage of paper.

Only people who run to sensationalism will purchase the book as noone likes to be out of the current gossip-fodder.

This too shall pass, my child:)

69. Larry is Dannielynn's father - period. . He's doing a good job. He will have to have thick skin to ignore all the lies people are writing and telling to make money. Good Luck, Larry. Hope you sue the hell out of all the morons who are trying to ruin your life.

71. ANS surrounded herself with gay people. it's not suprising about HKS & LB. i always thought LB had some sugar in his tank. HKS always just seemed like he had snake oil in him. i seriously doubt that cosby would put her "career" on the line if she couldn't back this up. i don't think she's stupider than the other 2. i'm just aggravated cause now this drama is gonna go on for months!!!

72.

Texas lady i sincerely hope the day comes when you are bigger than assessing someone according totheir facial characters and other God given things they have no control over.

Many people in this life miss their biggest blessings because they expected it from someone who looked just like them.

74. A former male model has spoken out about his gay relationship with Larry Birkhead, who was recently revealed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn.

Kerrick Ross has given an interview to the National Enquirer in which he makes the claims.

"We were together for about two months and had sex eight to 10 times, always at my apartment. He often spent the whole night with me." says Kerrick.

Lawyers for Birkhead deny the allegations, though the 32-year old adds:

"I had been 'out' for a long time, but Larry was not out of the closet - and he was terrified about his family, who were devout Southern Baptists, finding out he was having a gay relationship" claims Ross.

Posted at 11:07PM on Sep 4th 2007 by Larry has always been GAY
