INSIDE THE ANNA NICOLE COURTROOM: Observations Of Stern, Birkhead & The Rest

I feel that AH is portraying HKS as someone cold and calculating. But as he is on the stand i can see his pain. Larry Birkhead, his lawyer and his sister are money hungry Freaks!

Please people, let this woman rest in peace. Get a life and move on already. This is so sad that the media is gaining and profiting so much off this lady. I guess harrassing her while she was a live wasn't good enough, but to continue while she is gone is horrible. Rather you know it or not you are part of the reason of her passing.

(1) Howard Stern was there for Anna Nicole for more than 10 years and loved her. He took her case on contingency and hasn't been paid a penny in legal fees yet. She loved Howard and bought a burial site for Howard, Daniel, Danielynn and herself.

(2)Larry Birkhead -- according to his own admission, made Anna Nicole pregnant and refused to marry her. She had a right to seek a father for her child, whoever is the father. Since Larry Birkhead wouldn't step up to the plate, what is he doing there now?

(3) It is shameful that Anna Nicole's former boyfriend, G. Ben Thompson and his friends, broke into her home and stole all her material and are now selling it to TMZ (so far, (a) the alleged photo of her refrigerator, (b) the photos with the Bahamian minister, (c) the tape when Anna Nicole was depressed and Howard was trying to baby her along with a face-painting party and having her pose for photos) to destroy Anna Nicole's reputation. Thompson and his friends are monsters.

(4) Larry Birkhead wasn't willing to put up with Anna Nicole's personality and moods, and Howard did and loved her.

(5) We hope Howard K. Stern will arrange for proper burial of Anna Nicole in the Bahams as Anna Nicole wished, and that Howard K. Stern will have custody of Danielynn. If Birkhead turns out to be the biological father, he could have visiting rights but Howard K. Stern is the better person to be the parent and was the person chosen by Anna Nicole to be the parent.

Another black mark on Florida; this judge makes Ito look like a genius`nothing but a showboater!!!!! He is disgusting and an embarassment. He only adds to the number of creeps in this so called saga.

I wish you would have more sympathetic / supportive coverage of Howard K. Stern who was with Anna for so many years, and who obviously the person she chose to look after her child.

POOR Howard, let the man mourn, all he wants right now is to bring Anna to her resting place next to Daniel. Danielyn needs Howard, he is the only father she knows. Howard always took care of Anna for 12 years now. She named him executor of her will and he should just tell them all to go fly a kite and that he is the executor and it is his decision. Howard was appointed custodian of Daniel, and all other children after that fall under the same category.
God help you get through this Howard, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With this whole thing being a circus to begin with.. this judge is the perfect ring leader. What a buffoon!!

as a parent...why would any parent in this world even consider her NOT wanting to be buried next to her son. that just proves her mother is a cold hearted, selfish person!! she should be ashamed. anna made her feelings for her very clear. there is a reason she has never seen her grandchildren. sadly, we see how anna turned
out. she obviously was aterrible mother and role model for her own daughter..god forbid someone elses!

My heart breaks for Anna Nicole... I feel like we all need to place her to rest. In my heart of hearts I am hoping that Anna will be laid to rest next to her son whom she loved so much... To me, her mom really has no right to come in and turn everything upside down. She hasn't seen or spoken to her daughter in years... Please, let her be and let her lie in rest - next to her son and NOT in Texas. In this case I hope Howard Stern is able to take care of Anna as per her wishes.

This whole situation is a complete mess, but ironically somehow it's not a surprise considering how messed up Anna's life was. Why didn't everyone show their concern and step in before she died?? Someone should have helped her more instead of watching her waste away. It's just a shame that her little girl will grow up with out truly knowing her mother. I don't doubt that Howard K. Stern loved Anna and Dannielynn. However, whoever the biological father is, that man is entitled to be the father and caregiver unless he decides to terminate his rights. NO ONE should take that right from him, not even Anna. She should have been a lot more selective or used protection if she didn't want a baby with a man she deemed unfit. I do truly believe, though, that she would want to be laid to rest with her son, that was obvious.

I can't believe how this judge is handling his courtroom. This case is a no brainer. Anna Nicole Smith purchased her buriel plot, stated her wishes and obviously wanted to be with her deceased son.
Give up the spot light Judge. THis isnt about you!

i think this whole situation is sad. i believe we all have choices in life, for one i don't believe anna nicole was with howard and in the bahamas againts her will. she was where she wanted to be. now people should just leave howard and the baby alone. i myself trust that howard has her best interest at heart, now he's having to fight for all that anna and he had together, now in a relationship we always don't put things down in writting simply because we don't believe that anything will happen, now this poor guy has to defend himself, just for trying to do the right thing. i believe in howard k sterns and hopefully the justice system will not let him down. i just cannot believe the mother "anna hated her for whatever reason, now she comes out of the woodworks for what?" publicity, she is such a sorry woman she should just go back to her hole and continue without anna ect, the way she has been for the past 15 plus years. anna has been with howard for several years only he know how she felt. i feel so so bad for this guy. i don't have to much confidence in our judicial system but i pray and hope that the judge will favor howard in all cases. i also wish that anna and daniel are looking down on all this and wishing howard luck.

I feel terrible that people are trying so hard to profit from this womans death. She was a tortured soul in life, lets not torture her any more in death. I don't understand what makes her mother think that she has the right to take her daughter's body away from the burial site she had bought to be near her son. It really gets me mad that she is pulling this on a daughter she KNOWS doesn't like her or want to be with her. Shame on Her! And I personally don't care who the biological father is, if any one saw the video of Howard being reunited with Danielynn you would know who she should be with. And my last thought....SHAME ON THE PERSON WHO BROKE INTO HER HOME. He took away so much from them. Why take those paintings she painted for her daughter. What kind of a sick world is this that you would steal from a 5 month old her treasures from her mother that she will not get to know!! HOW DARE YOU!

It is obvious where Anna wanted to be buried. It's a shame that her and her mother never reconciled, but it's too late now! Her "hometown" bashed her while she was alive... why would she want to be put to rest eternally there in that place? Sorry Vergie! Go home! If Texas was special to Anna, wouldn't she have buried Daniel there?

I can't believe what they are doing. I think she should be buried next to her son. Anna hated her mother. Howard is doing the right thing. GO HOWARD!!!!!

Anna's mom want her body to be buried in Texas, lets say she did get her wish is she willing to remove Daniel's body from the Bahamas? I think that Anna's body should be buried with her son's and not have them seperated.

What a tragedy. This poor woman obviously loved her son and wanted to be buried beside him. This is her mother's last attempt to hurt her and gain $ that she shouldn't be getting. Howard K. Stern loved this woman even when she was at her lowest and sickest. He never left her when she was pregnant and his love for her and that baby is palpable. This whole thing will be a travesty if her mother (whom she hated and had NO relationship with) is able to victimize her one last time after death. Her mother is probably the coldest person I have ever seen. This whole circus is to try to discredit her daughter and make her a laughing stock. Great mother. Refuse to let her rest in peace beside her beloved son. She died of a broken heart whether she was self medicating with drugs or not. She should be with her son.

yeah, Howard was so in love with her..while Anna was deathly sick up in the hotel room...instead of staying with her...he was out boat shopping...seems to me the boat shopping could have waited until she felts better..something strange about him...

Hello, is anyone paying attention- Mr. Howard K. Stern was her attorney, I'm sure he advised her about the will, especially the part intentionally omitting any future childred, as her attorney why didn't he advise her to revise the will once she was pregnant with her daughter or after Daniel's death? As her friend why didn't he get her the help she needed for substance abuse- look at all the media coverage of her, she has been drugged for quite some time. Didn't anyone see a rerum of Larry King Live last week for a show done in 2003 or 2004 where she and Howard K. Stern both denied any kind of relationship other than friendship and attorney/client relationship> Wake up people, I feel she should be buried next to Daniel, but that is the only thing I agree with Howard K. Stern on.

Hello all...what are you thinking? Let this poor woman's life end with more dignity than she lived with. HKS should decide where and when to bury Anna, her mother has not been a part of her life for many many years...talk about money grubbing that would be Virgie...as far as Larry, he probably is the biological father, he has claimed to be even before the baby was born..let him have her!

I am sickened by the actions of Anna's so called mother..the fact that she is willing to seperate a mother from her son just shows you how sick this woman is and how her manipulation in the court is merely to seek her 15 minutes of fame and stake claim to any money. There are only dollar signs in her eyes not tears. Howards feelings for Anna are clearly genuine. The fact that Howard knew that Anna's will included only Daniel proves that he wasn't in the relationship for money. Of all the people that have come and gone from Anna's life he is the only one who's been there through the good and the bad and never once judged her.. can Virgie or any other family member look at themselves in the mirror and say the same thing... NOT! As for Birkhead..if he did father the child so what..it does not give his bulldog attorney the right to accuse Howard of murder and to bully him in court.. if Birkhead were half a man he'd tell that woman to back off and stick to the facts of that case and keep her nose out of the burial case. He didn't love Anna otherwise he would have married her or gone after her to the Bahama's to profess that love...instead when his attorney told him he could get child supportthen suddenly he wants to be the dad... PLEASE! Give this woman some respect and let her be buried next to her son, then deal with the child custody!

Howard is the money hungry person in this case. He helped in her death by supplying her drugs.

All of the comments I've read here are totally appropriate. Access is, indeed, portraying Mr. Stern in a less than flattering light and Mr. Birkhead as the maligned one. Tony Potts seems to have an agenda re: Stern. As a 'reporter,' he's supposed to stay neutral. Stern is the ONLY one in this cast of characters who remained loyal to Ms. Smith. He is the ONLY one who took care of her, as difficult as that likely was. Ms. Smith's body belongs with her son. The baby belongs with Stern-period.

I think people should leave this poor women to rest in peace with her son. Everyone knows she was devastated by his death, he was everything to her. She belongs with her son. Her mother is just money hungry and does not care about her daughter because she is just wanting to get even with anna nicole cutting her out of her life. Whoever the father is should get the baby but anna should be with her son!!!!!!!!!!!

i am with and for Howard 100%! There is a reason, Anna had him by her side as long as she did. He obviously should be the one to raise their daughter.

I think the mother is money hungry. She hasn't seen or spoken with her daughter in how long, all of a sudden it's her "right" to bury her daughter?? not hardly. Howard seems to be genuine when he says he cared for Anna and their daughter. He should have the baby and if Birkhead is the father then let him go through social services to be approved for visitation. didn't see any commitment/involvement from him while she was pregnant. Why can't they let her be near her son whom the workd knows she adored. leave them all alone.

Let the poor girl be buried by the man she loved. Howard Stern...She had NO relationship with her mother at her choice. What is up with that Mommy Dearest!
Let her be laid to rest by the love of her life her son...the baby should be with Howard Stern he loves her unconditionally like he loved Anna Nichole ...how could you slander a man for loving...is there proof that he is "unfit" or had anything to do with the untimely deaths of these 2 people whom he loved. Maybe blame should lie on the ones who are no longer with us..Danny and Anna Nichole..
Good Luck Howard Stern I fear you have a long battle in front of you..but..you sir knew her better than anyone and knew her wishes!! Carry them out!

i would like evryone to sit back and look at Howard K.. I personally think he is a brain washer. I think he brain washed that poor woman. I hope he is not this child's father. I also want ANS to rest in peace with her son

Funny.
Birkhead didn't want to have anything to do with the poor little child until he found out how much she could be worth.
Parties need to stop the Stern bashing. He stuck with her through thick and thin, literally.

I think that this case should not be going right now, I think that the Judge should already know that ANNA did not want her mother around. I think her mother is in it for the Money cause she was never there for Anna anyway, So why is her mother their in the first place. I think that it is obvious that she wanted to be buried next to her son. So why take her wishes away and put her in texas. I wish that that judge would get the stick out of his butt and just say that HKS will get the remains of ANNA nicole. It is only right..Everyone should just let anna rest in peace right now..

It takes more to be a father than it does to be a donor dad. I think Howard is way more of a Father than Larry Birkhead. Let her be buried by her beloved Son Daniel and let her rest in peace already.

Legal commentators seem to have forgotten that the Florida probate judge could in fact take jurisdiction of the California paternity case through the provisions of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA). Although I've not kept up with the amendments to the UCCJA, the Act once provided that when two different jurisdictions had issues before them that affected the best interest of a child, the judges in those jurisdictions were mandated to confer with each other and make a determination as to which jurisdiction could better serve the interests of the child. Seems to me that the UCCJA provision may be underlying the Florida court's comments about the child's welfare and best interests. If the two jurisdictions do confer, the Florida court may likely be the court to exercise jurisdiction over the probate and the paternity matters.

why again would L. Birkhead need to even be at a hearing for where the burial is to be - in his own lawyers words - they are not interested in the body! I find him and his lawyers disgusting - if this is really his child then where is the sympathy for the remains of his childs mother....I hope the child is not his as he like Virgie looks to be out for the 15 min of fame...if Virgie really loved her child as she professes - then let her rest in peace with her son as she wanted in the Bahamas....do the right thing for once...

Howard K Stern, was Anna Nicole Lap dog, she was with so many other men and he practically in the middle of them. Not just one saying this but the majority. Because he was/ and has been waiting for his pay off in the end. Come on people two people die almost the same way and he is the only one around. If he loved her so much why in the world would you go buy a boat and leave her with 105 temp. Larry Burkhead wanted that baby before Anna's death. you know you can want the baby and not the mother. If I had someone constantly doing drugs and acting all stupid I wouldn't want to be with them anymore either. As for burial that is the only thing HKS got right. She should be buried by her son. Oh and the suicide deal, if she loved her son so much, then she loved that daughter just as much and won't have left her period.

Anna Nicole Smith referred to Vergie as her "birth mother". She was very public with her feelings for her mother. It is unfathomable to even consider that this woman would have any rights to a daughter that she had absolutely zero relationship with. Please, let Anna rest in peace. Let Howard follow her obvious wishes. Remember she was going to marry him in just a few days. Had she died a few weeks later and had they already gotten married, none of this circus would be taking place. Her mother was not a mother in "life" and doesn't deserve to benefit from her in death.

People are so damn insensitive, one look at Howard in any time for the last 10 years and you can see how much he loved/loves Anna in his eyes. He has been accused of everything including murder, yet no one has said he is a grieving man who is totally devastated! This poor man, I am praying for him and for that baby now.

As far as this hearing goes, this judge is a fame whore and it is beyond ridiculous. Let the woman be put to rest for GOD'S sakes.

First of all when Larry Birkhead heard that Anna Nicole was pregnant he immediately stood up saying he was the father of the baby. And he was asking for a paternity test. So I think Larry's heart is in the right place. Anna Nicole is not a stand up person I would want my child to have as a role model. I'm sorry she has passed away at such a young age and leaving behind a beautiful daughter. But when you continue to do drugs they will eventually catch up to you. Secondly Howard K Stern only wants the child because he is hoping for lots of money. It's still very weird that 2 people he was associated with have died within several months of each other. Definitely not somebody I would want to raise my child.

I can't believe the actions of Vergie! If she claims to love Anna Nicole as much as she says she does, then why is fighting to take Anna back to Texas? Anna Nicole bought the plot to be next to her son, Anna made it clear where she wanted to be alive or dead, that was in the Bahamas with her beloved son Daniel, baby Dannielynn and Howard. I may not think the world of Howard but truely Anna Nicole trusted and loved him very much.

I think its an absolute disgrace that Howard is being called a murderer. He did nothing but love Anna and Daniel and now the newborn. He gave them a sense of family when they didnt have any. Howard is the real family and the real blood for Anna. It makes me sick that the courtroom is suddenly filling up with her bio-family members that didnt give a damn about her before she became famous. Her mother is a creep and giving birth to Anna doesnt give her the right to have her remains. She is already showing her selfishness by wanting to take Annas body back to Texas when she knows damn well she wanted to be buried next to her son. I see no display of emotion for Annas passing, not by her mother, her father or even Larry Birkhead, which he should be showing some kind of sad emotion since he claims she is the mother of his child. Howard is barely handing on, he is a mess! Howard should get that baby even if he is not the bio dad, she is better off with him plus that is what Anna wants. If Anna could see what is happening to Howard right now she would roll over in her grave.

Wake up world! Howard Stern was along for the joy ride and he was only in it for the money. It was very obvious that he had very little tears through the whole ordeal! I can't believe that the majority of Americans are on his side. I think he kept her doped up and only brought her down when he needed to. He cared nothing for her! What a jerk! I can't wait until it is proven that he's not the father. That's very obvious! As far as where she should be buried, bury her beside her son. It's just her body. The soul is elsewhere! I think her mother has a right to her body, but we all know, that will never happen! You, as a parent, did the best you could to raise your daughter. She chose to take the wrong path and look where it got her!

All this judge needs is a big bat,like whatshisname...Get rid of the cameras,and expedite this proceeding-get the DNA and go from there. What they are really worried about is having ANS decompose before they can hawk her funeral pics to the media. And,God forbid, what if the DNA is inconclusive? What will happen then?

It is a shame how everyone is acting, esp. the judges. It is clear Anna didn't want to be in the States and she made a committment with Stern and named him her baby's father. Let Stern do what needs to be done and bury her and raise their daughter in peace. I think Birkhead is seeing only dollar signs where the baby is concerned. Maybe her mother too. Whichever way it goes my heart goes out to the baby girl. No matter what Anna was to anyone else she was the baby's mother and HKS has been her father. He needs to be left in peace to raise her.

Bury the woman! Bury her beside her son. What mother
would deny her daughter to be
beside her son. It seems like the public must know Anna
Nicole better than her own mother. She's dead, she is not coming back, bury her where she would want to be buried, beside her son. What more does this Judge need.
Anna Nicole has been on TV and
expressed her feelings of her Mother and her Son. We've watched her pain.........bury
her beside her son!
Why is her biological father involved.........other than being the sperm doner, what role has he played in her life? It's sad. If she had no $$, would anybody in her family really be fighting this?

So Howard left her to look at the boat. He left her with
her body guard and a nurse,
I read "2" nurses! He didn't leave her alone. If he thought she would become sicker.......do you think he would have left? Duh!!!!!!!!

News Flash Virgie:
Too little and way too late to be a Mom now. If you really (as you try and make everyone believe) care a darn about Anna, go back to TX and let her rest in peace next to her son, Daniel. And for all you "daddies": is it the welfare and love of little Danielynn or the money that is making all these weasels come out of the woodwork?

I am so sad for Anna, and as a mother myself I know she would want to be next to her son. Anna's mother should bow out, if she loved her daughter as she says she should let her rest in peace with Daniel. As far as Howard is concerned I don't like him and never did, if he loved Anna he would have tried to get her help. Why would you leave someone who had 105 temperture in a hotel room alone, i am sorry everyone pretty much knows if your temp is 105 you better get to a hospital. (common sense) When it comes to the father of the baby, Larry has been fighting for the baby from the beginning. I believe he is the father and his heart is in the right place. In all his interviews you can clearly see he was in love with Anna and was concerned about the baby and her welfare. I truly hope that he is the father. When howard did the interview with Larry King you could clearly see he was not telling the truth when he claimed to be the father. If he was the father and had nothing to hide he would have done the dna test months ago to get Larry off their backs and that would be the end of it. And my last comment is for the judge in this, what a looser, i think he likes being on TV.. he should be in a circus...i think he is so unprofesional

What bothers me is that in life this woman Virgie Arthur tortured Anna, now in death she continues to torture her. She has already been through enough in her life, now in her death she still cannot rest. Her mother is so self-centered and so self-absorbed. She should be ashamed of herself to have her daughter lay waiting to be buried because now all of a sudden she gives a damn. How dare she? Let her be with her son, the one constant in her life that was always with her, let them rest in peace together next to each other. This isn't about Howard or Larry. This is about Anna and what she would want. The poor woman can't speak for herself but made her wishes known to plenty of people. They should play the ET and Insider tapes of Anna speaking about her mother and that right there is proof positive that she would not agree to her mother's wishes.

Is it just me or is this judge totally bias???? Gosh listen to him lead the other attorneys...

This judge is a moron.

As for Anna resting in peace, that happened when her soul left her body. Whatever is happening with her body and this court case right now does not affect her spirit at all. As far as her hometown disrespecting her, it reminds me of a passage in The Bible where Jesus basically talks about being maligned in the city where he grew up, but was worshipped outside the walls of his hometown. Now of course we can't compare Anna nor anyone else to Jesus, but it's still the same concept.

Poor Anna, died of a broken heart and of the drugs trying to help her cope. Howard stood by her and was probably the best stability for the baby during this time. 5 months is not a long grieving period. Anna needs to be buried next to her son. Howard should have custody of DL, Annas' money should be put in trust for the baby until she is 25, if Larry is the real father, he should pay child support. What an unnecessary media mess!!!

WHAT IS GOING ON? Judge Larry Seidlin in the Florida hearing should be sanctioned for his self centered actions to purposely delay the burial of this woman. Air time is the ONLY thing this jerk is thinking about. Bury the poor woman and let everyone else fight out inconsequential aspects aside from the internment in a seperate forum. If Judith Sheindlin held this hearing the theatrics would not happen.

Larry Birkhead is the father, look at the photos of that baby. I think HKS had an obsession with her, he was her lapdog. Vergie is a birth mother looking to leave the trailer park. Along with all of Annas other toothless relatives. She made something of herself and now they feel they have hit the lottery. Scuzzy people. Anna should be buried next to her son and all of the other players including this poor excuse for a judge should crawl back into their doublewides.R.I.P anna...

I am no legal expert, but shouldn't the main point of this hearing be about the dispostion of Ms. Smith's body? What has paternity, or her will for that matter, have to do with this? As Dr. Perper calls to say time is of the essence, they're still rambling about issues that seemingly belong in a different day in court. There are signed receipts for the burial plots! Coupled with that, the ET interviews which, thankfully, someone had the foresight to enter into evidence. These two things alone speak volumes as to Ms. Smith's wishes. Everything else pertaining to this many faceted case can be heard at a different time. Let Anna Nicole be where she wanted to be. For a woman with little dignity in life, let her have a little more in death. This is ridiculous already!

YOUR HONOR make a decision! Bury her next to her son like she wanted and if the parties want to appeal after she is buried let them! Let them fight it out for years if they are that stupid! I don't care how drugged up she was there is NO DOUBT she adored her son and wanted to be with him always!! Put this chapter to rest this is ridiculous and an embarrasement to our justice system! LAY HER TO REST IMMEDIATELY!

This judge should let Howard
make his dicisions now as he
has had to do all this for the past 12 years.
Even if he is not the baby's father, he should have custody of her he loves her.
There is more to being a father than beind a sperm doner.

Let Howard and the baby bury
Anna in the bahamas and leave
them alone.

Howard is a smart man.

Seems that Birkhead is into torture as well. Poor Anna and Howard hadn't even had time to grieve before he launched his paternity lawsuit. Talk about insensitivity. Birkhead seems after the money to me.

ANS's mother needs to go take a flying leap as well. Where has she been all these years? Funny how she slithers out from under her rock now. What a true shame. I wish my best to Howard and the baby.

Actually, what I really wish is that the freaking legal analyst will shut the (blank) up and let us here the testimony. You keep interupting testimony to let some other idiot give his opinion. GIVE THE OPINIONS AFTER THE TESTIMONY IS OVER FOR LORDS SAKE.

1st off-I totally agree w/ Leandro, you said it perfectly.

HKS may not be the biological father of Dannielynn, but obviously Anna wanted him to have her, or he wouldn't be on the birth certificate. Plus if he didn't love Anna with all his heart, he wouldn't have stuck w/ her through thick and thin. It's a shame he can't grieve in peace. Also, Birkhead didn't care about that baby until he found out Anna was dead, So he's obviously in it for the money. Virgie needs to disappear, because this is not her fight. Anna hated her, and has been very public about that. Why is this battle going on in the courtroom when the body is decomposing? Obviously(again!) if she bought her own burial plot, that's where she wants to be buried. DUH! So bury her already people!!

I think Howard is the only one who really cared about Anna. She should be buried next to her son. Her mother should go back to Texas ashamed of herself. As for raising the baby, I truly hope that Howard will be the one to do that.

What kind of mother would allow 10yrs to go by without trying to mend any breaches between her and her daughter. If you notice her mother has not said one word about Danilynn. I see no remorse in this woman,no humbleness. I wonder has she worked to at for the police dept, and become insensitive, and cold.

This should be over already! Let mom take the body, but bury Smith next to son. Everyone needs to let her rest now. The baby? Hurry and find out who the father is so she can go with him. This all needs to be over now!

I agree w/ most of the posters that Anna's family is only there for the money. She had her reasons not to either speak or see these people. Anna didn't even want her family to take care of Daniel, if she would have went first. Larry Birkhead didn't even care about Anna and Dannielynn until ET came to him w/ a picture of Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn. Larry is in it for the money and before Anna died, he was in it for the child support we would possibly receive. They should follow the wishes in Anna's will and the wishes she express to the people close to her at the time of her death. Dannielynn looks like Howard K. Stern, I can't believe no one can see that. The courts should see the family and Larry Birkhead for the money hungry, bloodsuckers for who they are. I always that that Journalist were to be neutral. This reporter isn't.

You're all idiots. The reason it is before the judge is because it was not stated in her will what she wanted. Who was responsible for that - apparently her idiot lawyer-boyfriend. Doesn't anyone find it strange that a healthy young man died and Howard Stern was there. Anna Nicole died and Howard Stern was there. The baby would inherit everything and who is there - Howard Stern. Everyone has commited to a DNA test to determine who is the legal/biological dad to Dannielinn. Everyone except - Howard Stern. Does antone but me find this to be just a little strange? Did anyone watch the news that showed the Howard Stern home movie of Anna Nicole being so out of it. He was laughing and kept asking her if she was on a mushroom trip again. She was still pregnant. Oh yeah, this would be the kind of man I would want to make a decision for me. NOT ! Think about it people.

By the way. For most of the people commenting, please get your facts correct. Most of you are just coming up with statements without knowing a lot of the details. And by the way, Anna did not buy the plots in the Bahamas. The receipt shown on the news clearly shows they were bought and paid for by Howard Stern and not Anna Nicole. Everyone of you that are standing up for Howard should look at the situation if you were in that position. Has everyone got your own will and wishes written out and witnessed by someone like a disinterested 3rd party attorney instead of one that would benefit solely from your death?

It is clear that Anna loved her son dearly. If her mom loves her as she claims, then she should back down, and allow Anna to be buried next to her son.

HKS is disgusting. If he sincerely loved the baby he would want what is best for her. She should be with her biological father. He makes it so hard to feel any sympathy for him. Larry B is just fighting for his daughter, as he should. I really hope that Anna gets to be with Daniel as that is where she obviously wanted to be. I just hope that this all ends peacefully becasue this whole display and everyone involved is just sickening.

As with Norma Jeane Mortensen (Marilyn Monroe), had there been even ONE person who cared about Vickie Lynn Hogan, Anna Nicole would still be here to be a mom!! Mr. Stern had said over the years in many different television interviews that they had nothing more than a friendship, and here he sits on the stand saying they were lovers. He wasn't there when Anna was lying in a hotel with a 105 temp. Instead he says that she didn't want to go the the hospital because "she didn't want the publicity". When did Anna Nicole NEVER WANT PUBLICITY?? One such interview aired recently on Larry King had him saying that he WOULD NOT do the paternity test because "that's what Mr. Birkhead wants." Moments later he says that he will forever do what's best for Dannielynn--REALLY? Then TAKE THE PATERNITY TEST because that IS what is best for her right now. What were his true interests in Anna Nicole? He says he did all of her legal work pro bono, and yet she was his only client. What was his source of income? His own sister told Larry King last week that his parents support him. And what about the will---he says on the stand he's her attorney but knows nothing about when her will was written, wasn't even there, and never advised her to make changes after the death of her son knowing full well that the entire estate would be left to Daniel. He must have known, too, about the statement that shut out any further children she might have had. We all heard the people in the courtroom say that they had never heard of such a provision in any will. He knew that he would be the executor of the will, but never advised her to make changes following the death of her son to include her daughter..come on folks, isn't that a bit convenient?! If he is certain he is the baby's father, do the test and be done with it all, Howard. End all the speculation and save yourself the aggravation and the time that you could be spending with a child who is now in desperate need of a parent.

Anyone who followed this today can clearly see that HKS is the real deal. He clearly loved her unconditionally which is more than the other cast can claim. And... he is the obvious choice to raise their daughter. Whether or not she is his, biologically.

I THINK THAT THEY ALL NEED TO LET ANNA'S BODY TO REST SHE WANTED TO BE BURY NEXT TO HER SON THE WAY SHE WANTED IT TO BE. THIS IS MAKING ME SO MAD THAT HER MOTHER WANTS HER BODY AND SHE HASN'T EVEN BEEN IN HER LIFE FOR 10 YEARS. AND I THINK THAT HOWARD IS THE FATHER AND LARRY JUST NEEDS TO GO AWAY. I HAD MEET ANNA A FEW YEARS AGO AND SHE WAS REALLY NICE TO ME AND I MISS HER ALOT
PLEASE JUST LET HER REST IN PEACE NEXT TO HER SON WHERE SHE BELONGS

I do not think that Larry Birkhead is after money nor do I think that HKS should be able to take care of the child. If in fact Larry Birkhead is the father he should fight. As a parent I know that if that was me I would do the same. The timing of the baby's birth and her sons death are a sad coincidence but he is right to try to be with his daughter. I do think that Anna should be buried with her son. Her mother is just awful for doing this. It was so obvious that Daniel was Anna's world. She loved him and no matter what you say about her and drug use or any other behavior there is no denying her love for her son. I hope that this all works out in the end. Anna is laid to rest with Daniel, Larry Birkhead gets his daughter (if he is her biological father), HKS disappears into obscurity, and Vergie goes back to the trailer park from which she came.

As a mom, it says ALOT to me that Anna named HKS to be the person to take care of Daniel if something happened to her. Everyone knows that Daniel was THE most important person ever to Anna, and she chose Howard to be the one to take over for her if something happened. HKS has been with Anna for both the good and the bad. He has been a constant in her life for many years. I do NOT recall seeing her family on her reality show, at any red carpet events, at Daniels funeral, in her life at all. IMO, they don't care about Anna or the baby, just any money that may be involved with the baby! No matter who the father of the baby is, it is clear that Anna WANTED Howard to take care of her, the baby and Daniel. Anna should DEFINITELY be buried next to her son, who was her #1 love!! All of Anna's wishes should be granted and HKS seems to be the only one who cares WHAT Anna wanted.

This is to Howard Stern: I have been praying for you all day today as I watched the trial. I am so sorry for all you are going through. I watched almost all the Anna Nicole shows. It was obvious to me, without even knowing you personally, that you were in love with her for years. It was also obvious to me that you would do anything for her. To me it seemed like you were a significant part of her little family for years. My prayers will continue to be with you. Turn to the Lord for he will sustain you. "Cast your cares upon the Lord and he will sustain you, he will never let the righteous fall". Psalm 55:22 Lori

I just want to wish the families well and pray that all will turn out for the best. I hope the little girl has a wonderful life and gets to be with her father.

It is clear that she wanted to be buried in the Bahamas next to her son....he was her life. It is also clear that HKS loved her for years. You could tell by the way he looked at her! It is also clear that she couldn't stand her mother. Is she looking to profit from this? Please let this woman RIP!

This is all a bunch a bullcrap! First the Judge should be scorned for his unprofessional behavior during this trial! I can't believe nothing has been said or done to him about the way this judge has been acting! Second, The media has cast Howard as this complete monster and he been the ONLY one there for her. It's funny that all these guys can line up to screw Anna and use her like a dish towel, but now that she dead and there's millions at stake now everyone and their mother wants to claim the baby. One word, KARMA! Good luck to Howard.

I think HKS should be paid attorney fees for taking care of ANS. If he took care of her for ten years and has received no compensation he is entitled. He had only the one cllient since 2002. She appeared to be a handful as far as i can see. Who paid the bills for them all these years? Maybe he has already been compensated. The baby should go to the bio father regardless. Do you realize how hard an adoption is even for bio parents who want to give us babies. Why should this be any different?

Anna made her opinion of her mother and their relationship VERY clear on national television. She was a grown woman and bought her own plot next to her son, which to anyone with a brain indicates that she wanted to be buried there. What in the world makes her mother think that she has the right to step in now and make decisions? Let her be buried next to her son in the Bahamas where she wished.

As for the baby, that poor baby. That child has known nothing but trauma, drama and sorrow since pre-birth. Has she had that chance to bond with anyone? It certainly doesn't appear so. Let the DNA tell the tale and get that baby some stability. It is she who counts now and it is she who everyone should be focusing on. I HOPE that Larry B is sincere in wanting his daughter for the right reasons.

This is a little like the Onassis tragedy (of course it is different but there are similarities) - lets hope that in the end Danilynn ends up being brought up with love and values that Athina was brought up with.

And get rid of that judge! This is turning into a circus.

I watched this hearing most of the day and I'm confused. It seems as if this Judge is not fit for his job (at first). Do we really care about his education, his piano lessons, or about getting an attourney some juice?

In my opinion, the body should go to Virgie Arthur. Danilynn may be the next of kin, but she's only 5 months old and that appointed guy really doesn't know whats best for her. This hearing is going on in the US, where Stern and Smith were never legally married. Saying that, if the body were to go to Ms. Arthur I believe that she should just burry Anna in the Bahamas next to Daniel. Anna would want to be with her son.

Her Mother has no business anywhere near the baby or Anna's body. She was hated by Anna. Anna would not have wanted to be away from Daniel. She would have wanted to be buried next to her son. As for the baby, Anna did not want her mom anywhere near her. Howard Stern really cared for Anna.He loves that baby.

I too have been praying for Howard today. Stay strong and true. Pray.

Dear Mrs.Arthur. We know you love your daughter. However, contesting her burial place has caused delay in her burial. You know she would want to be next to Daniel. Now, she will be bloated and decayed, so that others that loved her cannot see her death as she was in life. Please Mrs. Arthur, she needs to be buried next to Daniel.

I have watched most of the court proceedings and it is one of the biggest farces that I have ever seen. Virgie Arthur sits there with no emotion even while her daughter is ripping her to shreds. I would be insane if this ws one of my children. And why on earth would she alighn herself with someone like Larry Birkhead when as far as I know she doesn't know anymore about him then she does Howard K. Stern, and how could she possibly know that he's the father when even he doesn't know. I hope that Howard turns out to be the baby's father and that the judge will let him have Anna Nichole to give her the proper burial.

I can't even put into words my feelings of shame towards this judge. I can only hope that his "higher" ups, watch these tapes, and possibly feel the same amount of sickness I felt upon watching him. What a disgrace to the American judicial system! I find myself wondering, with such a high profile case, how in the world did this judge ever get chosen to hear this case???? Furthermore, as a mother of two, to have your child die before you, I can only hope no one has to go through that, but know that this is not realistic. To have her child ripped away from her in life, and then again in death...I can only wonder how this woman could ever call herself Anna Nicole's mother?? Shameful...absolutely shameful.) Note to judge: you do not "need" to know who the father is of the baby in order to decide where to bury Anna Nicole Smith...What the heck does that have to do with anything? Stop showing off (cause it's not working) and do your job!!

anna put howard on the birth certificate, lived with him, made him the executor of her will, he should raise the baby... if a paternity test shows birkhead to be the biological father he should get visitation rights only..as for where she should be buried it's obvious she wanted to be buried next to her son and wanted nothing to do with her horrible mother..that judge is terrible! offerring CANDY in the middle of all this??? what a horror show...

I think this Judge is disgusting.The court room is a circus. This decision needs to be made NOW. It is a no brainer, Anna wanted to be buried with Daniel and in the Bahamas the place she loved. Her mom, if she ever loved her daugher, in my opinion would want to honor her daughter's wishes and let Anna be where she wanted to be, and not where Vergie wants her to be, which is in Texas. She needs to stop all this nonsense. How does she know what her daughter wanted she hasn't had a relationship with her for ages! Anna obivously hated her mom,and watching that video, Anna had lots of rage against her mother, and I don't believe it was because she was on drugs. Her mom went on national TV more than once and said some hurtful things about Anna, which in my opinion, she should have never done,especially on national TV!. I don't know who the father is, but I don't think Howard is the bad guy that some of the media is trying to make him out to be. He was Anna's friend, confidant and lover. Anna obvisouly trusted him and I believe she loved him too.I think he was one of few people she trusted. I don't think Howard controlled her, I believe Anna did what Anna wanted to do. Now Larry B. says he knows where Anna wanted to be, yeah right, like I believe that..NOT!!Is this ever going to end. I feel for Howard, the baby and Anna. Even in death she is going through all this court krap.

I wish that the world could see that Anna Nicole was so sick and so tired and was a new mommy, and was allready damaged (by her own mother) and really only had one person stand beside her, Howard K. Stern. He should be praised for keeping her alive for this long! She was recorded on her own show telling him that if he didnt like the way she was living her life he could hit the road. He stayed for her. I thik Howard tried his best to keep her from harm, nobody is perfect, he did everything she asked him to do, god I wish people would look around and see how remarkable that is to have someone so in love with you in that way! I commend him for not breaking down when the sharks that were ripping Anna Nicole have now turned on him, and he in my perspective is a wonderful protector for this child no matter what comes from all of this litigation ONE person has always been there and will still be there I believe 20 years from now when Dannilynn is grown up and that is Howard K. Stern. He should not be abused in this way. I hope he wins everything and you losers go back into the dust where you came from!

Anna shoud be buried with her son everyboby nos that, Have you ever live with a person that dose drugs, its not fun you become their slave that what happen to howard ,she needed howard to keep things going HOWAED STAYED BECAUSE HE LOVE HER. SHE USED HIM. HE JUST GOT MESS UP IN IT ALL. HOWARD COULD not save her, she had to save her SALFF He could not to it if he tryed. so on that note i feel howard shoud get Danilynn that was one RIGHT Thing she left HOWARD WITH IS TO BE A FATHER TO DANILYNN BEFOR SHE DIED

The judge and Stern's lawyer are running this court.
Stern's lawyer blonde lady , has a big mouth , out of all those lawyers , her mouth is loudddddddd.

There is video tape of Anna's wishes re her burialand her wishes for Danilyn is the judge stupid or does he just want his 15 minutes of fame, the more I see & hear of the Florida government (it's sad electoral system) and it's representatives of the judicial system the sicker I get. This poor woman's spirit is just been raped ...I pray that all those involved for the money ( vultures is a word that comes to mind) are punished by God here on earth for all to see

I am writing to say that if Anna's Mother was a real Mother and not agreedy bitch she would say please just bury my daughter and ler her live in peace by her Son's side. Everyone is about MONEY. I hope & pray that they all have Bad Luck from this and they suffer while they let that poor body decay. What a shame Only In America !!!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY & the people on Tv (COURT)are just as bad wanting us to feel sorry for that Mother, she doesn't know what the word is MOTHER. SHAME ON ALL YOU PEOPLE> LET HER REST IN PEACE AT LAST.

Ummm, what is going on in this courtroom? And why is Virgie holding court (no pun intended),expounding on being a female police officer? What has her past profession and woes as a working woman got to do with dispensation of the body? And I love her makeover! How dear to call in a makeup artist to try and make her resemble Anna Nicole more.And if, as Virgie claims, her WHOLE family loved AN, then please ask her why her daughter wrote a nasty tell-all, rushed for early release after ANS's death? That's LOVE? Nah. That's MONEY.Virgie? Let your daughter go quietly into this good night. The whole thing has now passed into tawdriness.

I have learned that the reason Miss V, Anna's mother, is interested in attaining Anna Nicole's remains is becuase she and Larry Birkhead are planning to build an ANNA NICOLE WORLD in Texas, where she plans to make a living. SHe is hoping to resolve the matter quickly because she has already been paid to display ANNA's dead body in a glass case.
Notice, Miss V wore make and a fancy dress on day 2 of the trial in Florida, not on day 1. Also notice, Mr. Birkhead puts his face in front of the camera as often as he can in that courtroom. Larry and Miss Virgie are both trailer trash scum who are seeking to prif from the death of a woman whose life was a mess, but who made herself rich without the help of Virgie or Larry B.
God bless Anna, her son Daniel and give strength to her surviving loved ones.

I can not believe that anyone is fighting over the body of Anna as she burried her son in the bahammas and truely like she would want him to burried alone. Let alone Annas mother needs to go away and get out of the picture. Anna made a comment on ET stating she never wanted to see or hear from her mother again... pretty clear to me. Howard was the one who spent the most time and most recent time with her and loved her he is the one with her best interests at heart.

ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S MOTHER IS A LIAR AND A GOLDDIGGER.

LARRY BIRKHEAD IS A POSER TRYING TO GAIN FAME.

IN THE LAST DECADE, THESE TWO TERMITES REARED THE UGLY HEADS ONLY WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GAIN SOMETHING. OTHER THAN THAT, THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY INTEREST IN DEALING WITH ANNA AND HER PERSONALITY DISORDER, CAUSED BY HER CHILDHOOD, EXCEPT HOWARD, WHO SEEMED TO VERY LOIVINGLY HELP ANNA THROUGH ALL OF HER TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
NOW, THAT ANNA IS DEAD, THESE 2 PARASITES WANT ANNA'S BODY AND HER BABY. ANNA'S MOTHER IS IN DENIAL, SHE SHOULD ADMIT TO BEING A HORRIBLE MOTHER AND REALIZE THAT HER DAUGHTER HATED HER. ANNA DIDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH VIRGIE AND NEITHER DID DANIEL, OVER THE YEARS. TRUTHFULLY, VIRGIE SHOULD BE THANKING HOWARD FOR LOOKING AFTER THIS EMOTIONALLY DISFUNCTIONAL WOMAN FOR SO MANY YEARS. HOWARD ALSO TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF DANIEL.
BOTH LEGAL TEAMS OF LARRY B. AND VIRGIE A. ARE REPUGNANT. THE JUDGE IS ALSO COMPLETELY CREEPY AND UNPROFESSIONAL,OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER PERSON WHO SEEKS FAME AND FORTUNE VIA ANNA NICOLE. HOWARD STERN'S ATTORNEY IS A FREEKING STAR. I HOPE SHE KNOWS SHE IS DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB.

I have read so many blogs coming to the defense of HKS and I wonder if there really could be that many people who can't see the light of day .
If you love someone you don't aid and abed their drug habit and take video's of them pregnant and stoned and tell her that video is worth money !HKS was nothing more than a paracite he was an opportunist that saw a chance to make a bundle of money on Anna by keeping her stoned and unable to think clearly while he pulled the strings and pilfered her money and used her publicity to gain profit.
Don't you think its a bit strange that her son died at such a young age under the same circumstances as she did?
Hello there is something fishy here and HKS is in the center of it all with his hands on the child and the purse strings.
If you love a woman you don't leave her sick in a room with a 105 temperature, you get her to a hospital right away !As a nurse I know that a temperature of that degree can cause convulsions and death and HKS being an educated man he had to know she should have been brought to a hospital imediately ,,so why then did he head to the casino to gamble leaving her alone . Hey folks maybe he thought she might die and put him in the cat bird seat . You think ?
Yes I think Anna should be buried with Daniel but I do wish that wasn't in Bermuda where the laws are so much different than ours and could possibly be something HKS cooked up to protect himself in the case that the laws here demanded the bodies exsumed for further investigation into the cause of both their deaths.
I think the both bodies should be buried here in the US.
HKS didn't stick by Anna because he loved her he stuck by her hoping she would win her estate battle and he would reap the rewards !

Give me a break ! The child belongs with its biological father and I will lay odds that is not HKS!

With the death of Miss Smith, Mr. Stern is out of a job. How is he supporting himself and another man's daughter? Is that why he won't take a paternity test? And when will a judge in either the US or the Bahamas step up and demand that a paternity test is taken?
I can't believe all this is going on about where to bury a body. In the meantime, their is an orphaned baby girl in need of her father.
That should be the priority of the courts. Paternity first, resting place second. Because if the child's mother was taking drugs while she was pregnant, then this child needs to be tested too!
P.S. Why not get some female judges involved and hurry. Right now the name Judge Ito keeps coming to mind.

Anna lived a full life...she did just want she wanted to do. It is really strange that her and the son died the same way. The husband/lawyer knew the life she lived...he loved her considering he knew she had other lovers? If he loved her somewhere in that relationship he would have tried to help her get off drugs...If she and her son took drugs...and she was high alot...that child born would have some levels of a drug baby....and why didn't Stern participate in her drug flings..???It is impossible for anyone to love someone and watch them take drugs like this w/o having them to seek seriously help...? I believe money was the motive.
May Anna rest in peace.

ANS didn't have any ties to Texas and I don't think she would want to be buried there! This from the Playboy website...

I met Anna Nicole on her Playmate set in our Santa Monica studio. At 5’11”, she looked every bit the movie star. She had that look—not just another great blonde but someone extraordinary. She was candid, funny, unpretentious. And she was so happy to be in LA. “I’m eager,” she said, “to be anywhere that isn’t Texas.”

OK THIS IS WHAT I GET, I REALLY FEEL AND SEE THAT ANNA NICOLE SMITH HAD AN EMOTIONAL DISORDER, SHE WAS BADLY SCARRED IN LIFE, BY MANYT THINGS.

1. HER MOTHER IS A SELF RIGHTESOUS ANIMAL, SHE IS A CONTROL FREAK, SHE WANTS TO EXUME DANIEL'S BODY, DANIEL WAS BURIED FRAUDULANTLY? WOW! THIS BITCH IS SICK, HE WAS BURIED BY HIS MOTHER (ANNA NICOLE WHEN SHE WAS LIVING)

NO ONE GAVE A DAMN WHEN THAT BOY HAD JUST DIED, LARRY BIRKHEAD IS A "PIG" A TRUE "PIG" HE CAME AFTER HER WHEN HER SON DIED! NO SYMPATHY WHAT SO EVER, HIS LAWYER THAT "BITCH" SHE IS AN UNPROFESSIONAL ANIMAL!

ANNA NICOLE'S MOM GOT BUSTED ON THE STAND TODAY! SHE COULD NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT RECIEVING A PAYMENT FOR $12, 500. FOR ANNA NICOLE INTERVIEW! SHE IS AN ANIMAL, A CONTROL COUNTRY HICK.

NONE OF THESE PEOPLE RESPECTED ANNA NICOLE WHEN SHE WAS LIVINGN AND THEY ARE NOT RESPECTING HER EVEN WORST NOW THAT SHE IS DEAD! IT MAKES ME SICK.

THIS JUDGE IS AN ASS, HE DOES NOT KNOW SHIT! WHY IS LARRY BIRKHEAD THERE! WHY? THIS IS NOT A PATERNITY HEARING! THIS IS SICK!

AS FOR HOWARD STERN, BEING WITH ANNA NICOLE WAS AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER, HE WAS THERE THROUGH THICK AND THIN LITERALLY! HE LOVED HER ALL ALONG, SHE CHEATED, HAD OTHER LOVERS, BUT HE STOOD BY HER SIDE! ALL THE TIME, LOOK AT THE REALITY SHOW AND HOW SHE TREATED HIM, ANNA RAN THE SHOW IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP BELIEVE YOU ME! SHE RAN THAT SHIP!

I TRULY CAN'T STAND, HER MOM, LARRY BIRKHEAD, IS AN ANIMAL AND A GOLD DIGGER IT MAKES ME GROSS JUST TO LOOK AT HIM!

WAKE UP PEOPLE, MOM AND LARRY TEAMED UP TO BASH HOWARD, WHEN NONE OF THEM WERE THERE FOR HER. ANNA KEPT THEM OUT BEFORE LARRY CAME INTO THE PICTURE.

THE LAWYERS FOR LARRY AND MOM ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, THEY ARE TRYING TO UNRAVEL AND REVERSE EVERYTHING ANNA DID IN LIFE FOR HERSELF!

That Fat Pig who claims herself as mother to Anna Niclole Smith, needs to be back in the jailhouse...this time BEHIND BARS!
She calls a reporter from SPLASH Media her friend?
Furthermore, she continually claims that Ms. Smith was on drugs, as if she had inside knowlege...shouldn't this inflamatory statement be considered "alleged"? Does Miss Virgie not appear to be drunk in court today? Is she so fiercly against drugs because she herself has a problem with substance abuse?
In other words, what gives her the right to declare Anna was on drugs, at any point in her life. As a former policeman, she should know that you are innocent until proven guilty!
So, if the pig smells, then it must be dirty,

That idot named "Texas" is an arrogant, jerk. It would make sense that he aligned himself with the fame seeking half rate, boisterous attorneys of Larry Birkhead....cumulatively they constitute just a few more people trying to get their faces on camera at Vicky Lynn's expense...for a fleeting moment in the spotlight.
What gives those very ugly loud mouth, I think women? attorneys the right to even be in this courtroom? They are extemely overly dramitic.....if Larry Birkhead has the right to a legal team, then why doesn't Prince Zsa Zsa? Maybe Oliver Wendell Douglas could represent him...Dahling.
This court room is run by the Key Stone Judge.....I was told that in his chambers, he asked Mr. Stern if he could see naked photos of Ms. Nicole Smith...HMMM.
That ass Larry Birkhead, assisted by his lesbian attorney, just stole Howard stern's cup!!! as he sat on the witness stand. ENTRAPMENT!!!

The only attorneys that have shown remarkable respectability and efficiency in the courtroom would be Stern and his two representatives.
Only in Florida could such a circus take place.

Just wondering if anyone else watching the hearing today caught the smooth move by Larry Birkhead and one of the attorney's? Howard forgot his cup today when he left the stand, and Larry was lucky enough to be the next person on the stand. I couldn't believe how easily that cup was taken, without anyone in that room catching it.

Did anyone notice that Larry stold Howards cup off of the stand? Maybe to get DNA?

This is my second time commenting on this. I've read the other comments on here and shame on you for making Virgie sound like the devil. Someone on here called Ms. Arthur a "Fat pig"... How dare you. I don't believe that Anna Nicole hated her mother. But even if she did how dare you call a grieving mother such a horrible thing. Are you even watching the hearing? I don't care if Virgie is making money off photos/video or not, but Howard admitted that he has not been working since 2002 and only made about $12,000 off the "Anna Nicole Show" and Larry Birkhead admitted to selling photos for money. EVERYONE IS POSSIBLY MAKING MONEY OFF HER!!! Please stop blasting Ms. Arthur. If this were your mother would you stand for it?

How pathetic did Mr. Stern look today when questioned on HIS income? Anna payed for everything from his rent to his shoes. And now his retired parents are footing his bills. Why didn't he have his own source of income all those years..he's an attorney for god's sake. He could have been contributing to the "relationship" financially, but he admitted he never did. He could have been maintaining a practice but had NO OTHER CLIENTS. Why? Because it was easier to ride the on the "Anna Nicole Express", that's why. Hang around long enough and she'll pay your way for you. Let's not forget that if her part of the J. Howard Marshall estate pans out he'll receive $6 million dollars!!!! That's a pretty good reason to stick around. If he loved her so much, what was he doing video-taping her when she was obviously drugged up and talking like a 2 year old? Why wasn't he doing all he could to get her off the drugs? The answer he gave to that question was so lame---"when Anna's mind was made up there wasn't much you could do about changing it". He could have spoken with her doctors about her "conditions", told them the severity of her usage..maybe even stepped in and told them the truth about what she was dealing with and that she may be over-using the drugs. He had options, we all do, regardless of how the person fights back. I think Mr. Stern is the gold digger here...WHAT DID HE EVER DO FOR HER??

I don't agree with the mother stepping in to all of this. She is just as much to blame for not getting Anna the help she needed years ago. She has no business getting into this fight. I believe that Anna should be buried with her son...as a parent I want to be with my daughter. Since the Terri Schiavo case I have made my wishes very clear to everyone who knows me. Ms. Arthur needs to step back out of this one.

And Mr. Stern---take the paternity test already!!! That one test can answer all the questions of where it all goes from here from the custody of the baby, to the estate, to the burial. Don't you want to get on with your life--or are you afraid you'll have to get a job?!

Virgie, I really really dislike that women. Her and Larry B teamed up with one another, basically to wash each others back..you wash mine I will wash yours. I think Larry isn't being all that honest himself, i think he is embellishing some things to benefit his case. Did you notice how Virgie didn't not want to answer those question as to whether she was paid...she turned the faucet on and played the crying game. Also how the heck does she know that Anna was a full fledged druggie, she had no relationship with her..oops Anna had no relationship with her, for good reasons. Also when Anna did that interview about her feelings toward her mommy dearest, Anna did not look like she was on drugs. Everything Anna said about her mom, I believe is true. There were some DEEP DEEP emotional scars, that Anna could not get over. You could see her rage and I don't believe it was drugs talking it was the truth. They (Virgie, Larry B) are trying to make her out to be this big time druggie, for their own benefit. I think the right thing f
