Celebrity Justice
Video of Howard and Larry? The Plot Thickens

With reports swirling that there's video of Larry Birkhead's alleged encounter with Howard K. Stern, TMZ spoke with Rita Cosby, who makes the allegation in her upcoming book. Rita says she hasn't seen the video but knows people who have.


Birkhead and Stern say no such video exists because there was never an encounter, and they will sue anyone who makes such an allegation.

91. How can you be a "respected journalist" when you haven't even seen what you're writing about?! What kind of nut would use heresay as evidence for the kind of material that's being written?

I have NO respect for Rita Cosby! If she had "real" evidence or had viewed the tape herself, that would be different. But the way things stand I see her as someone who's trying to make a quick, UGLY buck and have her face be in the limelight.

You make a mockery of journalism, Ms. Cosby!

92. I do not see how anyone could do any more harm to that child than her mother did! The behavior of Birkhead and Sterne certainly leans to behavior other than the "normal"! Afterall, "feathers of a bird flock together" I have the book on the way and can hardly wait to see if my suspicions are shared by the author. Additionally, I feel Sterne has "smut" on a lot of people is the reason that some jump to his commands!

93. if all her witness are coming out right know why when ANA NICOLE was alive all this aligations wasnt told and that lady that came that she was Daniellyn (godmother) if everybody is saying thay she hasnt been Babtist does she has proof that shes the godmother because the catholic church gives you proof.

94. What kind of Idiot would buy a book and support and author who admits to having used unsubstantiated material?

What kind of Horrible mother would aid and help an author publish a book of this nature further defaiming her child? (Virgie = Anna,) not to mention the damage this book will do to the Grandchild when she is old enough to understand.

I can't Stand Howard, But In my opinion if even 1% of this book is a lie, then Rita and her publisher should be held 100% accountable. I hope that they are held Libel for defamation of character at the very least. I hope that when they win that they will be rewarded not only all proceeds from this book. But substantial damages.

Without the tape - the whole book is questionable and heresay.

Posted at 11:24AM on Sep 6th 2007 by Trust me there could be video, you ain't seen nothing yet

98. I have no respect for rita cosby as a person ,or reporter.she has been on several shows,and when asked if she saw the tapes she said no,when asked if she saw the picture of danniel and his mother she is complaining about she said no,i think opri,and cosby virgie and hatten are smarting,they want to get even and this is there way to do it cosby had a sick grin on her face,every show i watched.I WANT TO SEE THE TAPE ,and untill she shows it .she should not get any attention . the book was hyped as explosive what so explosiveRITA AND FRIENDS LYING.The reason she gave for writing the book was she was concerned about dannielynn,but yet she said 10 percent of the profits go to dare,well if she is so concerned about dannielynn,why not 100 percent of the profits going in a trust for dannielynn.what has anyone of these (whatever you want to call them) done for dannielynn,howard and larry each have set up a trust. rita virgie opri and hatten want to pry into the private lifes of dannielynn howard and larry,i hope larry and howard remain friends,sure they will have different ways of looking at things so what,please stay friends most of the poles taken are for you larry and howard,give dannielynn a big hug for me.and wish her a happy birthday,

99. Beverly-----Where did you get information on a trust set up by Larry and Stern for Dannielynn?...Can you post that link please---thanks

100. maybe rita hasnt seen the video maybe because its to dirty to see of larry and howie
it doesnt mean that she doensnt have no prove of the video or maybe she acctually has
and she does not want to say nothing about it and its just a big surprise when the truth comes out besides shes never been in trouble of making rumors or a scandal on purpose
by looking for money i believe everything she is saying about her book she said befiore
if no one doesnt read the book its because no one does not want to believe that the story is true i believe 100% her story is true and i think she is very nice and smart then any other reporter out there hopefully the real justice will be served against larry and howard.

101.

Could you possibly imagine the heartbreak anna suffered after daniel died?
COULD YOU IMAGINE BEING FORCED TO SIT BESIDE SOMEONE WHOM YOU JUST ACCUSED OF MURDERING YOUR SON, IN A STUDIO AND PRETEND TO BE HIS LOVER BECAUSE HE MADE SURE YOUR LITTLE GIRL STAYED HOME AND THREATENED YOU TO DO WHAT HE SAYS OR HE WILL HURT THE CHILD?

THIS WOMAN WAS BROKEN WITH NO WHERE TO TURN. IF SHE OPENED HER MOUTH, HER ONLY LIVING CHILD MIGHT MEET THE SAME FATE AS HER SON AND NOW SHE'S STUCK WITH THE MURDERER.

TALK ABOUT SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY................WHOA!

there was no doubt in annas mind that howard killed daniel...she told him as much on three occassoins that we know about...in alll likelihood she told him more times than that....no wonder he didnt want her talking to her mother.....who is it that you can trust when you cant trust anyone else? YOUR MOM!

102. Intuition tells me to go with Rita on this one no matter how others perceive her..... You can be certain the Stern-Birkhead team are saying one thing publically and sweating as they scurry overtime behind the scenes to prevent this video ever reaching the internet! Hopefully, it is in the hands of authorities and will become evidence in a new investigation into the death of Anna Nicole Smith.

Posted at 12:54PM on Sep 7th 2007 by Just maybe there is a video....

103. MIKE.PLEASE,IF RITA HAD THE TAPE,.YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME SHE WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT,YOU COULD NOT GET HER AWAY FROM IT,WHO ARE YOU KIDDING,THAT TAPE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE TV PROGRAMS.WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO IS SMEAR HOWARD AND LARRY,SO THAT THE BAHAMA COURT WOULD OPEN AN INQUEST FAST.AND VIRGIE WOULD GET HER PARTICAL CUSTODY,WELL,THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE DONE,IS TO SHOW THE BAHAMA COURT HOW FAR THEY WOULD GO TO GET WHAT THEY WANT,IF THE TAPE DOES NOT SHOW UP,WHICH RITA PROMOTED HER BOOK TO BE EXPLOSIVE,HOW CAN THE BAHAMA PEOPLE BELIEVE A WORD FROM ANY OF THEM,WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS (GET WHAT I WANT,ANY WAY I CAN) THE LIARS CLUB BAHAMA COURT TAKE NOTICE

105. I think this Rita is just like everybody else it's all about the money and mommy Virgie is no mother in my book. I would like to know just how Virgie and that so call daddy Larry can go to sleep at night, it is ashame that Anna could come back just one time and deal with them two low lifes
