Celebrity Justice
Larry to Network -- MSNBC You In Court

Larry BirkheadLarry Birkhead has told TMZ he is thinking of suing MSNBC over the Rita Cosby book, because she obtained information on the network's dime.

Birkhead says Cosby, who has since left MSNBC, befriended him in the Bahamas through his then lawyer, Debra Opri. Larry also says Opri would invite Cosby to dinners, where Cosby told him everything discussed was "off the record."

Birkhead claims the salacious allegations are lies.

A rep for MSNBC had no comment.

91. They said on court tv today that many morning shows cancelled their interviews with Rita today because of the lawsuit threats. Cencorship!! This is America.

92. Looks like there are a few drama queens here.

Dannielynn is Birkhead's child. His allowing a few pictures of her in a magazine isn't hurting anyone. Why let someone publish them for free? Might as well make a few bucks. No big deal. None of that means he loves his daughter any less. Are you holier-than-thou people saying you wouldn't do the same thing if you could. If you are - you're lying.

93. I never read unarthorized books. If it doesn't have the victim's approval, it is just gossip and fiction. Anyone could just sit down and make up stuff about anyone. Good for you, Larry, sue the ass off of that idiot. She's just trying to make a buck.

It is your opinion only that LB is not a celebrity along with his daughter.
I disagree, He is and has the right to be on any magazine he chooses to with his child.

""...READ the BOOK....I did!!! ""

What book is it that you read uuuhhhoooohhhh! ?

96. They claim there is a video..Time will tell....and People that have nothing to hide..HIDE NOTHING. Rita is not going to spoil her reputation by this crap..If it is not true..Then Larry say.".Produce the video" I thought soooo... guess we will see the viseo in a few days.

101. LB is not a celebrity, not an actor, not a model, but a photographer who happened to father a child, who is the child of a "celebrity" (and I use that term loosely ... pun definitely intended). Anna was a B-list celebrity, at best. Playboy bunny trying to make it big .... and failing at it miserably. Her career was built upon scandal.

Larry can go ahead and sell pictures of his daughter to the media. She's beautiful, and it certainly sells magazines, doesn't it. I'm not saying he does not have every right to do so if he chooses. It just sticks in my craw (and those of many on TMZ, I believe) that he stated very clearly that his plan for Dannilynn's future did not include the media, that he was going to take her out of the spotlight. Yet, the instant we forget about her (and him) they (not just Dannilynn) pop up on the cover of some magazine, followed shortly thereafter by what Anna was most famous for ... scandal.

102. rita is on court tv and i believe her....like most of us she believed in larry and he scammed her.....shes telling the truth...my opinion...

103. #100 Other than the magazine shoots we have seen very few pics of Dannielynn. That was Birkhead's intent. It keeps the paparazzi away.

104. I think Cosby is lying about Howard and Larry. What would her book be without this stuff that Jackie Hatten told her? She included it because she wants to make a few bucks. Would anyone buy the book otherwise? No.
