TMZ has learned the "Today" show has pulled the plug on the Rita Cosby interview about her book in which she claims Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead had a "relationship."
The cancellation comes after "Today" received a bristling, threatening letter from attorney Lin Wood, Howard's lawyer. Wood, who represented John and Patsy Ramsey, made it clear he would sue the "Today" show for any falsehoods that spewed out of Rita's mouth. Birkhead has also vowed to sue Cosby and others who he claims are in on a plot to "smear" him.
As far as we know, Cosby's assertion of a relationship is rooted in the testimony of Jackie Hatten, a known wacko whose brother served prison time for stalking Anna Nicole.
Make no mistake about it -- this cancellation is a big, frickin' deal.
8. Whats so suprising about Birkhead sueing her if he feels the information is not true or defamatory. She has no problem trying to make a buck off this information instead of providing it to the authorities in a timely manner and demanding justice be served. All of the players in this farce are in it for the money.
10. Rita has the goods on Howard & Larry. She would not make claims without the proof. She has the video. I want the truth becasue for days and weeks I was consumed with the fantasy of ANS. Lets hear what happened as a learning experience. How was she neglected? Who was responsible?
12. Getting to close to the truth are we Howie and Larry. Public not gonna go away

13. If Rita has the goods and is interested in a search for "truth", why did she not contact the authorities? Essentially, she is claiming that these two guys conspired to commit murder and committed a fraud on the court for financial gain.
14. If Rita's facts were 100% verified, and without blemish Today would not have cancelled. They have a great legal team that can easily take on Stern / Birkhead. This unfortunatly does raise some questions. I would love to see this whole sordid story laid out, the truth most likely will be much stranger than any fiction.
