211. Virgie its not money hungry, she is fighting to get justice for Daniel and Anna, ITS OBVIOUS Stern and Larry were/are together on all this.

Larry its just an sperm donor holding on his new CASH COW he should be happy , unemployed and the baby paying his bills. Remember Anna didn't want anything to do with Larry and at the end he hated Stern too, she knew something and Stern didn't want her on Daniel's inquest. Afterall THE WILL and other legal papers were all signed already by Anna at Sterns wishes I am sure, BET ANNA WAS DRUGGED WHEN SIGNING them too.

STERN AND LARRY CAN KILL AND DESTROY PEOPLE FOR MONEY $$$. Virgie was right all along feared for Anna and Daniel's safety with Stern and now they are both dead !

Posted at 10:13AM on Nov 16th 2007 by Virgie was right all along!..........

212. Vergie was a caring, hard working mom, we can't blame Virgie for Annas fantasizing to become a Marylin Monroe, rich and famous. Apparently Anna dislike being poor and countrylike in her hometown. She wented to live her dreams, even married an OLD RICH AMN to have big $$$$$ and live a rich life, she sourround by evil, leeches, sorry people like Stern who encouraged her drug addiction.

VIRGIE CAN'T BE BLAMED BY THE REBELLIOUS, UNREALISTIC WAYS ANNA DREAMED OFF. Anna destroyed herself and her beloved son Daniel hanging around losers, murderers like Stern and doctor death!. Now Danielynn is in danger too. Stern and Larry are living from a baby and dead Anna now!

217. To whoever wondered if T&T would get paid - yes, of course, they only have to file a judgment against ANS' property, including her real estate, if they don't receive a check. Done deal. Ron Rale was the attorney, along with HKS. Estate has to pay.

219. To: Just wondering: Agree! And even cuz lawyers representing the estate may know they haven't a snowball's chance - why should they care? They'll take it all the way to the US Supreme Court - filing fees the whole way - should total a few million. Lead counsel is head of the Estates Law national legal organization - no matter what he says about how he will win, he knows he won't, just wants to rack up those fees! As well, Ron Rale, HKS and Trope will be filing fees right along with him.

220. To Agent Zero: HKS is not broke - he was 1/2 owner of ANS corporations - including her real estate and licensing of her likeness, etc. (separate from any relationship as her lawyer or lawyer for the estate, along with Ron Rale). Also not to forget those off-shore accounts.

221. Dannielynn is spending Thanksgiving with Larry and his loving family.

That's great as it frees up Virgies time to visit her son that is is prison and the son that she let shoot himself in the head when aged three.

Perfect.

222. God you paid Virgie bloggers make me sick. How much is O'Quinn paying you all?

Posted at 10:04PM on Nov 17th 2007 by Sick of know it all's like you!

223. No paid bloggers for Texas....just mothers and grandmothers throughout the country who do not know one another, think out of the box, see the LIGHT, and hold the individual perception that something is terribly wrong in an unbelievable story that entails the death of a young man (8 to 12 hours after his foreign country arrival) in his mother's maternity hospital room, a three-day-old child in a survival atmosphere, and (then) the shocking death of his mother only five months later.

Poor Dannielynn Hope is paying whose debts? G-d bless you little one....the angels enfold you in their protective love until you are old enough to break free from the continuing destructive environment wherein your biological mother found herself during the last years of her life.

224. Art Harris at "The Bald Truth" has much better coverage of Anna Nicole, including the inquest into her son's death which starts tomorrow (Monday 11/19) as well as the libel lawsuit. His website is www.artharris.com, and the RSS feed is at www.artharris.com/feed

For the record, I am not in any way affiliated with the man or his website. I just enjoy the far more detailed coverage, and I think others will as well.

225. Attorneys always want their money. They can only bill the estate for it. They have to wait until things are starting to get settled to be paid. Anna left a LOT of bills. I am sure a LOT of places have billed the estate by now. There may be no money left after bills are paid. Anna always lived pay check to pay check. She was always broke and looking for money. That is why Thomspon let her live in the house in the Bahamas. Anna had no money and he was helping her out. Anna meant to pay Thompson back. But Howard didn't want to pay for the house. Time will tell. As for Howard, it is up to law enforcement to investigate him. With all of you people knowing what happened, etc. Why haven't you made sure he is arrested??? Larry is a good father to Danny Lynn and it is good that he can spend time with her. She needs him. I think some of you people are just plain evil. What is Larry supposed to do? Go into the house and never come out. Get real.. I think some of you are just plain crazy and some of you are just plain full of it. You act like you know these people and you do not. What you do is just post things that you imagine.
