You know, this is bugging me...people don't seem to realize that HKS spent almost every day for the past 10 years with ANS. If ANS told HKS to jump, he would have said 'how high'. He was totally besotted with her, and she obviously cared about him and trusted him or she wouldn't kept him around.

ANS didn't know who the baby's father was, this is a well known fact. If she had told HKS to say he was the father, or that she was 'sure' he was the father, he would have went along with it. I am sure since her passing, HKS has had a private DNA test done for him and Dannielynn.

All this 'selling' the baby or holding off for a payoff is what bugs me. HKS would be the ONLY person in this whole saga who would have ANS' wishes and desires carried out. He would be the perfect person to handle her estate because he would ensure she was portrayed in a dignified and respectful way. People claim he just wants money. No he does not. He wants ANS' memory to remain as untarnished as possible and he wants what is best for Dannielynn.

Now of course HKS would be paid for his work---ANYONE would be paid for their work; but look at how little he charged ANS during the last 10 years. Any other attorney would have made millions. He has not.

Larry is probably the father. He seems like a decent man, though his attorney gives him a bad image. I hope that if he is the father, he allows Howard to be 'uncle howard' as no one loved ANS like HKS did.

Virgie Arthur has shown her true colors during the fight for ANS' body. She even tried to hold up the funeral and now she's goading Daniel's father to try to exhume him. Every thing ANS hated about her mother was exposed to the world the past 3 weeks. I hope that Dannielynn has minimum contact with Virgie Arthur.

This is long; but i needed to vent!

@Miss Tia: What are you on? I'll take two of those please.

i'm not on anything. people like to have stories with 'good guys' and 'bad guys', and HKS has been made the 'bad guy' and he's not. i think the only bad guy in this story---if you must have one, is Virgie Arthur who is motivated by greed and/or spite.

Miss Tia, I totally agree with you! I thought I was the only who had these sentiments. Howard truly loved Anna, and is the only one who has her wishes foremost in his mind. I hope Dannielynn is his, though she probably is not. One thing is for sure, that evil Virgie should never have custody. Howard is a really good guy, I just wish more people could see it.

I can't imagine Howard K. Stern having ANYTHING to do with Anna's estate much less her baby. He's been an evil, sadistic parasite for years reduce Anna to a drug addict to have her do more and more outrageous and ridiculous things to BENEFIT HKS!

Howard K. Stern had SEVEN that's right SEVEN life insurance polices on Anna in force and paid up. He's been the ONLY one profitting from her death. He would allow Larry's lawyers to accompany him to the funeral because he knows the gravy train may be coming to an end and he wants to cut yet another deal to feed off Anna's MONEY and drop the lawsuit that will expose him for the cold hearted person he is - all for MONEY.

May there he a special hell for people like Howard K. Stern.

Unless you personally know either of the two guys here you are speculating pure tosh, as you cannot possibly know a thing outside of what is fed via media and the disingenuous comments from Stern.Who cares anywayANS was in life nobody but tack...and take away the half billion and there would be no story at all.It is all about money and so is everyone involved and it stinks as does the massive morbid fascination in this mess.

Nancy---ANS had problems with drugs, and went to rehab BEFORE she even met HKS. ANS turned to drugs to try to deal with the pain her mother and family caused her.

I have heard the life insurance policy rumor, but until i see something factual, i do not believe. there might have been a policy naming daniel the beneficiary and HKS as the executor, as in her will; but HKS did what ANS wanted.

ANS was a strong willed woman who wouldn't let people live off of her. She fired numerous people she felt were using her. She cut off her family because they used her [and abused her]. If HKS was using her, she would have cut him out.

HKS wants to protect ANS FROM parasites who would use her image to gain their own fame and money. The fact that he did legal work for ANS on her marshall vs. marshall case on a small percentage contignency shows he wasn't using her for money. Any other attorney would have demanded money upfront or a LARGE (like 33%) of a settlement. Not HKS. He's looking at 6%, which if you know legal percentages, is SPARE CHANGE.

I just wish all the HKS haters would stop to think that he is the one who say that her wishes were carried out. He did not addict her to drugs as she was addicted before they met [and yes, he very well might have watched her do drugs, but have you ever known an addict? have you ever tried to get them to quit?? until the person WANTS to quit, you are helpless, and he loved her too much to go against her in any way]; He did not seperate her from her mother and family, as they she had cut them off before they met.

And if he was so fame seeking, why is in the BACKGROUND of photos?? Even Larry is in the background of some photos. Neither man seems to be after fame, or fortune. It's a very sad case and only Virgie is the true villian.

May ANS and her son rest in peace in the bahamas.

I find it really disturbing how people tend to quote things they heard through the rumor mill as fact. Over the past few weeks, I've witnessed countless TV "journalists", all sorts of legal pundits, and anyone whoever grazed the arm of Anna Nicole, spouting so much misinformation, and disinformation, that it's ridiculous. If people don't know what the Hell they're talking about, they should just keep it zipped. That Jackie Hatten person, who keeps popping up on Larry King and Nancy Grace, for instance. Anna hated that Bitch, and now she's claiming she's the Godmother of Dannielynn. Same with Bobby Trendy. Anna hated him too. People have such huge egos, that it's easier for their own self respect, if they pretend that their estrangement from Anna was Howard's fault. In reality, if she didn't like you, it was probably cause you were an ass.

Furthermore, I wish people would give Anna Nicole a little more credit, for being the smart and savvy person that she was. She loved HKS for a reason, and distanced herself from her mom for a reason as well. I wouldn't necessarily call him the strongest, or the most handsome man, but in the department of loving Anna Nicole Smith, he wins hands down.

Hey Pinky! I think it's you and me against everyone else!

It's nice to know i'm not the only one who feels that way about HKS.

and you're right about Jackie Hatten---and don't forget about her brother who's in jail and claims he's the father. those 2 are a piece of work.

people are just trying to get their 2-cents in before all the hoopla's over...actually, they're trying MAKE a buck [or 2 or more] while they have the stage....

as HKS said in his eulogy, there IS truth and what people are doing to ANS is wrong and they are being disrespectful to her and her memory...and her memory is all Dannielynn will have of her mother.

Leave Howard alone. If Anna didn't want him to be there for Dannielynn she wouldn't have put his name on the birth certificate.

Howard has to come clean....His meal ticket is finnally over...May She rest in peace...He should have watched and taken care of Daniel and Anna....not tell Anna if she was on a "mushrrom trip"..give me a break....He is now holding dannilynn hostage....trying to come up with some deal...he received 3 mil to have et photograh her funeral..even though he said with crockadile tears....I loved Anna or Howard did you love her money and all the perks it brought you..Shame on you...If you had anything to do with her/DAniel's death I hope they go to the fullest extent..You should reflect what you did...an enabler.... all you care is about yourself...and preyed on the innocent

For those of you thought Anna was not addictewd before Howard came on to the scene..look at the films..she was alert before he came on the scene...so many of her people would not say negative things about Howard if he was a innocent soul...Remember,,it is an act to save his a.. to make everyobe think he did it for anna..how come the money he received from ET didi not go into trust like slash did for Dannilynn...It went into his pocket........Someone find some quality in this so called man,because he eventually will have to answer to the good Lord

Hey mis pinky and miss tia where do you get your credentials ??? part of her reality show or your own

The deal Fox went on about was not for either guy. It would have gone into a trust for the baby. Fox as usual takes a little fact and turns it into a big lie. Thats what they do best. It does amaze me how no one seems to think Anna was quite capable of making her own decisions and did quite often including moving to the Bahamas. Why do Americans always need a fall guy? Sometimes bad things just happen. And most of the time people are responsible for their own lives.

Nancy of March 3, 2007 @ 1:14 pm
You need to check the facts before you make such claims. Virgie’s big time lawyer told Nancy Grace, “I HAVE HEARD THERE ARE SEVEN INSURANCE POLICIES.” He could not prove that to be the truth.

How in the hell can Debra Opri and John O'Quinn have the nerve to attend Anna's funeral????????

I wish people would stop all of this Howard will do the right thing he loved anna most of all. I to have a mother like anna and though all of this i have made sure my mother never gets me or anything i have. There was a reason anna left home at 15yrs. old she told us on her last interview with E.T. please watch it and see the pain in anna's eyes when she is talking about her mother its real.

Anyone who thinks that Howard would kill Anna or Daniel are crazy. What would be his motivation? You keep saying she was "his meal ticket". People don't cut off their source of income. I know that he had nothing to do with her death. The ONLY croc tears were coming from that money grubbing bitch Vergie.

I also heard that Anna had 7 life insurance policies. So what? The main beneficiary was Daniel, indicating that these were policies purchased at least 6 months ago probably much longer ago.

Anna and Howard were to be married, the dress was made, the plans were made. It's just too bad that didn't get married sooner so this mess wouldn't have had happened with that bitch Vergie.

Splash needs to STOP paying for her lawyers just to get some pictures.

Howard has what Anna never had, a loving family with class. If Virgie has an ounce of decency left in her, she will go back to Texas and shut her mouth. She reminds me of my mother, not a good thought!!!!!!!!! She has had her 15 minutes of fame on the back of her daughter, what a shame and a sorry excuse for a mother.

I PRAY TO GOD SHE DOESN’T GET HER HANDS ON DANNIELYNN.

Does anyone remember that Howard brought the duffle bag full of drugs into the hospital to give to a pregnant Anna? Oh he loves Dannielynn alright, he tried to abort her. I watched the E show and Anna was much more lucid then. Howard was a clinger-on and threatened by Larry's presence. Anna only fled to the Bahamas because of the paternity. She stole Larry's baby - that kid looks just like him. Why did Howard have her Will faxed to him days before her death?! Wake up people. He gave Daniel the methadone and took the last few pills and flushed them! I think Anna dumped her family because they were bad for her image - I mean look at them! Her mother did raise Daniel though!!

JoJo is exactly right. Howard K Stern had what Anna Nicole Smith wanted for herself and her children -- normal loving parents who didn't beat, rape, and abuse their children -- but rather, encouraged them to go to college and graduate school.

Anna, on the other hand, has been on her own since she was 15 -- pole dancing in a strip joint to make ends meet as a single mother until an old man came along and took her out of that scene and into the world of money and fame.

ANNA chose HKS to be the executor of her estate and the guardian over her minor children because she wanted more of her kids than anyone else in her life would help them to achieve.

Before he met Anna, HKS did undergraduate work at Berkeley and got his JD at UCLA... Larry Birkhead, on the other hand, had accomplished NOTHING on his own, but tried to get rich off of ANS even though he had signed a confidentiality agreement to not profit off her.

Vergie?? She wasn't in Daniel's life for over a decade and then comes in at his death trying to make a buck by making statements based on heresey like all of the rest of the people who were around -- but not truly a part of ANNA or Daniel's lives. If I was Anna and my mother did that to me after the death of my son -- I would have stopped crying for her, too...and finally see her for the B**ch she is!!!

I hope ANNA's wishes are carried out and that HKS is the executor of her estate, the legal father of her estate, and the guardian over her minor child's assets. That is what SHE wanted and HER wishes should be followed -- not the wishes of any biological father, her scumbag mother, or the greedy lawyers who have come out of the woodwork since her death.

People wonder what the motivation could possibly be for Howard Stern to kill or leave Anna Nicole to die when she could have been saved by seeking appropriate medical care -- well, she is worth more to him dead than alive! Only he tells us that a wedding was actually in the works, only he told us that days after her death! Even at the time of death, he identified himself as the "nominated executor" as his role with her rather than simply say "fiancee". Anna Nicole's days of making money was declining. She was getting harder to market, with her increasing incoherant states. HKS failed to sell his idea to have ANS date several men on a reality tv show and marry one of them at the end of the show (like the bachelor) after her failed reality tv show was over. No one likes an aging model, or an aging model on drugs. But if that person has a tragic life, suddenly there is money to be made. No one would have purchased DVDs of her Anna Nicole show before her death, but now people are interested in it. Now you can sell books, photos, of the tragic story of Anna Nicole. If Anna Nicole really did intend to marry him (still doubtful in my mind), she would likely had him sign a prenuptial agreement, but she dies before that happens and guess what - he gets everything.

Life comes full circle. ANS fell for J Howard Marshall's money, she clung on to him, then left him to die alone while she was spending his money. She fought his family about his funeral plans, even fought them for half of his ashes, which she left behind in the funeral home for 5 years before claiming them.

HKS loved his little money maker. He clung on very tight to her, left her alone while she was sick with 105 degree fever, and even delayed calling 911. He was out spending her money on his yacht. Loved that yacht so much, that even after learning of her death - he couldn't delay his plans to get that yacht out of FL and back to the Bahamas (priorities man). He fought her family on the funeral and the body.

Of course we can't forget that ANS also left her own son lying in the morgue for 40 days while she made her commitment dress and was jumping off the yacht for photos to sell.

It all comes around, again and again.

Salome, If you don't care then why are you talking about it on here. You must have been looking for some ANS news when you found this board.

I am on Howard's side too. I think the media is portaying him all wrong. They take pieces of a story out of context and make it sound worse than it is. They have taken sides which professional journalists are not supposed to do. As far as the life insurance poilicies go, I believe there probably are some or at least I hope there are. The man has devoted his entire professional career to her. I was so mad when I heard the big deal people are making of the contract they signed early on saying that he would get like 6% of whatever she wins from Howard Marshall. That isn't a lot of money. I know lawyers that get 30%. Who cares about that though because this is Howard. The slime...Oh please. And if he is not going to be able to continue to represent her then why shouldn't he get money.

For those of you who think Anna was drugged by Howard then I say look at the footage of her when she is totally fine. Howard was still there. She wasn't messed up at every show. I also watched the E show and I think she was pretty silly acting but I think it was much an act like what much of what she did was an act. The clown video, I fell was a lot of an act. Even if she was on painkillers. Mushrooms? That was a joke. I always say I can make money from people acting dumb. Doesn't make me bad. It was a private joke. I don't think it was Howard who sold that video. It was her nasty mom who brought it out in court. Why would you want to have your child remembered that way. Man she is so sick. I don't even know her and I hate her. I would really hate to be her daughter. Anyways, my point was, ANS chose what she wanted to do. While there may have been more he could have done I'm sure that he just supported her the way she was. Many men are just that way. Also, what did she abuse pain pills? So she was slow in speaking or had slurred speech. That doesn't mean that she did not know consequences. Perscription drugs are abused by many people who live very normal lives and still function and are considered to be able to make their own choices. People just don't pay attention to their speech and behavior. If Howard had so much control over her then why didn't he "make" her update the will after her son died. And please, even a semi intelligent person would not even consider the notion that he murdered her for money without an updated will. Its all a very contradicting story we are getting from the media. If ANS were still alive she would be protecting Howard from all of this and I imagine would be so sad and angry to know that he is being treated this way.

Kimmie, you're totally right. Team Howard all the way !!!!! As far as that clown makeup goes, people don't mention the fact that it was actually a child that she was babysitting who put it on her face. My brother lets our niece paint his toenails when she's playing dress up. You humble youself to look ridiculous sometimes to make your kids happy. That's what Anna was doing. She also had a"liitle girl like" quality that came out sometimes. I think that type of regression goes back to her abusive chilhood. Sometimes she talked like a baby and played dumb, but she was really smart as a whip.

Howard loved her so much, that I think he pretty much supported her in all her decisions. If people try to blame him for her prescription drug use, that's totally ludicrous. She was in rehab at the Betty Ford center a whole year and a half before she ever met Howard. Also she was a strong, adult woman who knew exactly what she wanted. This Larry Birkhead character may be cute, but he was using Anna more than anyone. His only job was being her photographer. I mean come on. People are only giving him a pass because he's attractive and charming. Anna must have had a reason for wanting to get away from him. She loved Howard. People should respect that. And yes, if he cared about her money, don't you think he would've made her update her will from 2001?!!!!! Like, duh. Team Anna and Howard!!!!!!

I typically try to refrain from commenting but feel the need to stand up for Howard.

Let me clarify some things that some of you naysayers are 'claiming' as fact.

First, Jackie Hatten was NOT a friend of Anna's in the end. This is FACT because Big Moe (Anna's Bodyguard) stated so. He stated that Jackie tried to see Anna in the Bahamas and that Anna didn't want her anywhere near her house. Jackie also 'claimed' to be the Godmother of the children. WRONG AGAIN. Moe stated that DannieLynn was never baptised. And, if she WAS a 'so called friend', why wasn't she at/invited to the funeral? Same with Bobby Trendy. All these people who are looking for their 15 minutes of fame, claiming to be her best bussom buddies, yet, they are nowhere to be seen at the funeral or burial.

Next, for all of you saying that Howard sponged off of Anna for her money. If you would LISTEN to what is being said by the parties truly closest to Anna (especially in the last years of her life), Howard was her SOLE attorney from the time of the Anna Nicole Show. IN EXCHANGE for him charging her legal fees for everything he was doing for her legally, she provided him with living expenses (a roof over his head, meals, etc.). I think that is a pretty FAIR exchange. So, he DIDN'T "USE" her, like so many of you are claiming. That was his COMPENSATION (instead of actual attorney fees) for his work. Absolutely NOTHING WRONG with it!

And, for those of you saying he should have taken care of Anna and Daniel - HE DID! Who else was in her life for the past 10+ years that she didn't kick out of it? First, let me say that NOBODY is PERFECT. I don't care who you are. People make mistakes. However, in light of that, it is FACT that Anna was hooked on perscription drugs BEFORE Howard came into the picture. Virgie even admitted that in court and said she had taken her to a facility - to NO AVAIL! Anna did what she wanted and left the treatment facility. Even others stated they "TRIED" to get Anna to stop. TO NO AVAIL. So, how in the WORLD would anyone think that Howard would have that capability? Get real. That's like telling an alcoholic to stop taking a drink! The person is ONLY going to stop if/when THEY are ready! Not when someone else tries to FORCE/MAKE them! NONE of us lived with them. NONE of us were behind those 4 walls. NONE of use KNOW what he may or may not have tried. Did he make some mistakes? I'm sure he probably did. Did he try as hard as he could've? Maybe, maybe not. As I said...NOBODY is perfect! That is NOT for US to judge! WE DIDN'T LIVE THEIR LIFE OR WITH THEM so STOP judging what you THINK may or may not have happened!

Howard LOVED Anna. That was/is so VERY CLEAR to see. And, he DIDN'T wait to inform people of their wedding until AFTER her death. Others have come forward and said they had received an invite to the wedding, that Howard and Anna were in Florida not only to pick up the boat but to pick out their wedding rings. The date had been set. And, it was also stated (FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WITH HER WHEN SHE DIED) that they ALL TRIED to get her to go to the hospital when her temp reached 105 but SHE WOULDN'T GO! "SHE" REFUSED TO GO. (Everyone close to her has said, over and over, how strong-willed she was and that she did what SHE wanted to do/not do!) That was HER choice! And, Howard didn't leave to finish the transaction on the boat until they had gotten her temp to break, believing she was on the mend. And, MOE explained how the 911 call came about and it was NOT delayed. Howard had NOTHING to do with the 911 call. Moe made it after receiving a call from his wife.

Regarding who is earning money off of Anna's death.... Well, let's see.... Virgie signed a contract with Splash here and just didn't quite know how to answer that question in court. DUH. Larry is a photographer and has/is making money off of the photos of Anna and said, in court, that he will continue using whatever means he has to to earn money to continue his fight. Hmmmm. Howard, is BORROWING money from his parents at the moment to follow through on ANNA's wishes and said, in court, that he would continue to do this WITHOUT claiming a penney. ALL ON COURT RECORDS. And, he has stated that he and Anna had befriended the people from ET and that they weren't paying him anything. They have also stated that they haven't paid. However, I feel that Howard does deserve to earn money for continuing to be Anna's lawyer in her death, as he was in life. She obviously cared about him and trusted him or she wouldn't have made him executor of her will, indicated that she wanted to leave her child in his care if anything should happen to her, and she surely wouldn't have been planning to marry the guy. Regarding the guy who commented on the will being sent BEFORE her death....if you had watched the court proceedings, you would KNOW that the fax was actually sent AFTER the death of Anna and that the fax machine it was sent from did not have the right date/time set on it. That all came out in court. Did NONE of you that continue to bash Howard watch ANY OF THIS???? Like the others above, it absolutely SICKENS ME that you are all jumping to conclusions on 'pieces' of information that you are picking up here and there in the media instead of the FACTS that have been coming out from court and those who were/are truly CLOSEST to her.

Regarding the house in the Bahamas...I find it awfully funny that G. Ben Thompson (who claims to be the owner) is NEVER heard from or seen making ANY statements. It is ALWAYS his son-in-law (who also "claims" to be such good friends with ANNA but who STOLE all of her PERSONAL posessions from the house the day after she died, changed the locks, SOLD some of those stollen items to the media, etc. and then, hmmm, is nowhere to be seen at the funeral. Why is that? Is it because maybe he is worried about losing MONEY that he feels should be HIS???) I would like to hear directly from G. Ben himself, for a change, if the house is in his name. His son-in-law is obviously out making money on Anna himself. And I don't believe for one second that the fridge was "OPEN" for him to take that picture. It's obvious that was a set-up. And, as far as all of these news agencies..... what do you think THEY are doing???? They are ALSO making a buck off of poor Anna! It's called RATINGS. So, they have NO PLACE bashing Howard or anyone else! They are doing the exact same thing.

And, to Virgie....give it a rest. To now have Daniel's father coming forward AFTER HE STATED IN COURT, ON THE RECORD that he DID NOT want to exhume Daniel's body and that he wanted Anna and Daniel to be next to each other, you are now trying to use him too (when he hasn't seen Daniel since the 1980's!!!) to win your fight. LEAVE ANNA AND DANIEL "ALONE" TO REST IN PEACE!!!! The more you do, the more you are PROVING HER CASE against you and showing just how unthoughtful of a Mother you REALLY are! Go Home already and stay there.

To Larry....if you do end up with DannieLynn, I hope and pray that you do NOT cut Howard out of that little girl's life (per Anna's wishes) and let him carry out her wishes of him being the executor of her estate. I also hope that you carry out Anna's wishes of NOT allowing her Mother to be a part of that little girl's life to do her any more damage than she may already face as she grows older and reads up on all of this.

I think I covered everything I wanted to. Personally, I hope Howard does get to carry out Anna's wishes of him maintaining her finances and raising DannieLynn. Whether or not he is the biological father, he is the one SHE wished to have raise her daughter (and her son, had he lived) and to take care of her after death, in every way. That was made CLEAR in her will, DannieLynn's birth certificate, and through their close friends. May they both remain in the Bahamas to live - away from prying eyes and the hoopla in the States.

Howard....KNOW that you DO have support from a number of us and that you are NOT alone.

One more thing...

About the life insurance policies, "IF" there are 7 of them, or any of them for that matter (as it is just 'hearsay' right now)...

"IF" there are ANY insurance policies, so what? Many people have insurance policies. And, it has been stated that Daniel was the beneficiary and Howard was the back-up. Again, so what? That is how she stated her will too.

Just because she had Howard as the back-up on ANY of her documents does NOT mean that he was some evil force lurking around just waiting for the right time to kill them both off to get the money. Get real. If she constantly talked about death and dying young, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she had life insurance policies on herself - especially with a child to think of. And, who was the closest to her outside of her son? Howard! So, it would make LOGICAL SENSE that he would fall after Daniel on these documents. Give ANNA some credit. I'm sure she wouldn't list anyone on those documents that she didn't want to and that she didn't absolutely love and trust.

I'm anxious to hear the cause of Anna's death this next week. I hope it puts to rest a lot of the rumors and speculation. And, I hope that everyone will just sit back and let Daniel's inquest play out in court rather than continuing to feed the media with hype and speculation.

I hope, in the end, that Howard is given the apology he so deserves because I know in my heart that he did NOT kill either Anna or Daniel.

Right on Howard Supporter!!!

Jackie Hatten, not only was she NOT at the funeral, she claimed she was on the phone with ANS' MOTHER when they watched on TV together it being announced that ANS was dead. NO friend of ANS would be talking to her mother! no one seems to question this.

Jackie Hatten's brother is in jail for harassing/stalking ANS yet now he's trying to market his band and book and claim paternity, all through jail!

Why didn't Virgie state who was paying for her attorneys???

I have heard Birkhead's attorney state that she is no longer taking money from him [as he ran out] and she is no longer billing him and is doing this pro bono. I heard her say this in an interview. But who's paying for his flights all over?

Who's paying for Daniel's father's attorneys?

And ANS' sister just sold her book about her called 'Trainwreck'...it's a total hatchet job on ANS. This is the family that wants custody of Dannielynn? The longer her mother keeps trying to get Dannielynn and trying to have her buried in TX, the more the public will see Virgie's true colors.

Virgie is the one loosing control---look at how she held up the funeral by trying to STOP IT. Even Birkhead has moved away from her, as he was hugging her at the court house in FL, but is now by HKS. I think Virgie's actions are speaking louder than words. If she truly loved ANS she would have recognized that ANS wanted to be buried by Daniel in the bahamas and she would have accepted that. Instead, she tried to reassert control over ANS--which is what ANS escaped from!

IF Larry is the baby's father, I hope too he keeps HKS in charge of ANS' estate. No one has her best interests at heart better than HKS. NO ONE. And Larry even stated on the stand that ANS had made a baby book listing him as the father and HKS as 'uncle Howard'. May Larry keep with ANS' wishes.

I support HKS 110%!

To Howard Supporter,

You have summed the whole situation up in a nutshell; however there is one small thing you left out and that is, Mr. O’Quinn (Virgie’s lawyer) is a personal injury lawyer. That means he will only take cases that include “BIG BUCKS”, check out his website! The shame some are trying to place on Howard needs to be directed against this so-called grandmother (Virgie) for using the inheritance of Dannielynn to pay O’Quinn and for what, revenge? Now that is a shame people!!!!!!!

Miss Tia,
It has been confirmed by legal documents that Larry’s legal fees for Debra Opri’s service was billed to Anna Nicole and all this was made known by Anna Nicole herself. The total was, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND, before she died. If she is now saying she is working pro-bono is only to save face because it would come out of Dannielynn’s inheritance. It will be interesting to see if she waves the three hundred thousand already billed.

Larry Birkhead was the most honest person on the witness stand.
Tia and Pinky, you all are living in la-la land if you truly believe HK$ doesn't want anything out of this. For one, he's broke. For Two, he lived off Anna, Now he wants to live off Larry and Anna's baby. What kind of a real man would shove drugs down a woman's throat and then shove her in front of a camera? He loved her? If that's love then I don't want any.
Larry, NO DEALS WITH HK$! I guarantee you he's got something more up his sleeve than meets the eye. The snake!!!

Thank you JoJo I did not know that about the legal fees. I did see her state that she was doing it pro-bono after his money ran out, and that was prior to ANS' death.

I don't understand how she could bill ANS in the first place in all of this. That makes no sense. And to think that now that ANS is gone, they might try to get that from Dannielynn!

I tell ya, if all the potential money from Marshall vs. Marshall disappeared i bet everyone but HKS would disappear too!

Team Larry: I can agree that Larry came off best on that stand. HKS didn't look good because he questioned the necessity to all the other issues being brought up and he didn't want to discuss them. That hearing was about where to bury ANS, nothing else. That judge let that hearing become a circus.

HKS did live off of ANS, he did that in leiu of the MILLIONS any other attorney would have charged her. HKS honestly stated he was now getting money from his parents. What's wrong with that?? Virgie wouldn't even answer most questions related to her money. And who's pix is Larry selling?? Anna's!

Larry could have went to a nurse or dr. and stated that ANS was taking additional drugs and he did not--when he said that he and HKS were in a hospital room with ANS.

Larry could have went public after ANS moved to the bahamas and stated he was concerned about her drug intake and he did not.

There was many things Larry could have done and did not. He is not as innocent as people make him out to be.

If there is anyone on this blog that personally knows HKS -
PLEASE PLEASE let him know to not let the baby sleep on her tummy....
"BACK TO SLEEP"
HELLO >>> every picture of Dannielynn, she is face down. Babies younger than a YEAR should not have stuffed animals or blankets in the cribs with them, no pillows either. Faces get stuck and they can't or don't know even to lift their heads to breathe...ever hear of SIDS....please someone get this message to howard before
something
ELSE HAPPENS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trixie,
Log onto Krista Barth's website and send your message about Dannielynn sleeping on her stomach and I'm sure she would pass it on.

I sent her an email and she answered me.

Funny...it is my understanding Virgie and Splash have been profitting also. How about the pot not calling the kettle black.
I laughed when I saw Virgies Lawyer maiking comments about the Funeral...as though if Anna was buried in Texas, things would be different...private. Who is he and Virgie trying to kid? How curious it is Virgie came out of the woodwork when Danny died, and on CNN no less. If she really wanted to keep things "private", why go on CNN? Why hook up with Splash? I find her laughable at best.
It is good Anna is buried with her son on a quiet Island. Maybe then, they can both rest in peace.

Linda,
Can you imagine what the funeral would have been like in TX? Oh that would have been so sad. It would have been as tasteless and depressing as the mother.

Miss Tia,
$300,000!!! OK how long has she been Birkheads attorney? Can you imagine what Howards bill would look like after 10 years!!! I agree about Larry. I think he seems nice enough but Debra has been preparing him for months on how to protray himself to the public and courts. I think he would be a good dad if he would move back to KY with all of Dannielynns money and give her a normal life but I somehow doubt he will. And I hope and pray that he has learned some things about Vergie and does not let that baby grow up around them. Imagine when she gets old enough to see what her grandma did to her momma. If she really cared about the baby she would take that into consideration. Of course, at this point, I think her lawyers are pushing her to keep fighting. See, if they get the body in TX they will have a claim to open the estate there and O'Quinn can then take over Howards battle to get ANS's part of Marshall's estate. I bet his percent would be around 30%.

JOJO - what is the name of her website ?

I found it JoJo.

Team Larry...People like you who continue to make FALSE accusations are the ones that continue to stir the pot.

Howard did NOT force any drugs down Anna. She was a grown woman and made her OWN decisions. As stated here by me and others....NOBODY was able to get her to stop....her 'so called' Mom, Larry, friends.... And as Ms. Tia said...Larry could've done LOTS of things that he didn't. He didn't tell Doctors or Nurses what he "claims" happened in the hospital. He didn't tell authorities or anyone else about her taking anything while pregnant. And, the WORSE and most IRRESPONSIBLE thing that he did was KNOW that she was taking perscription drugs and STILL trying to get her pregnant!!!! So, as far as I'm concerned, he's just as guilty as Anna, if that is his baby. IF he is the real Father, as a concerned Father, he surely would have done something to make sure that baby was healthy instead of just fighting for custody. That to me is a little to late to show concern when the baby has already been delivered.

So, to sum this up, I think EVERYONE played a role in this in some fashion. Everybody is at fault for something. Nobody is/was perfect. Everybody made mistakes. That's why I wish everyone would lay off Howard when he loved her with all his heart and stuck by her through thick AND thin. Nobody else did for that many years.

And, the reason Larry looked good on the witness stand is because Howard was in TOTAL GRIEF and DISPAIR and was battling to bring Anna home and was grieving for Daniel and Anna and fighting to keep DannieLynn safe and dealing with the break-in of the house and fighting to keep the house, cleaning up the mess regarding items stollen from the house that were sold, etc. He had ALL OF THIS on his shoulders to deal with where everyone, like with Anna in life, was coming at him in ALL directions for one reason or another! Larry did not have anywhere NEAR this to deal with. So, it's no wonder Howard was not as bright, lucid, and perky as Larry.

And, I totally agree that the Judge took this case WAY OFF BASE into areas that he TOTALLY DIDN'T need to! The reason everyone was there was STRICTLY to determine where Anna should be buried PERIOD (or who should take claim of her body). This trial went SO FAR AFIELD that it was ridiculous! All he had to know was Anna's intent and that was CRYSTAL CLEAR. Everything else was irrelevant! That could've been determined in ONE DAY. So, you wonder why Howard was tired and stressed??? Hmmm....go figure. Look what the poor guy has been having to deal with. Any one of us would be exhausted too, if we had to go through what he is!

What I would like to see that would be ideal and would go with Anna's wishes is....IF it turns out that Larry is the biological Father, I would like to see him move to the Bahamas (where Anna wanted her raised and where she now has been laid to rest with Daniel and would be out of the limelight) and Larry and Howard either initially live together or near one another and raise this baby together. I think this would definitely make Anna smile from above.

To Howard Supporter,
Your comment makes sense and I have had those same thoughts in regard to where Dannielynn lives in the future.
The main two problems for me is, Larry and his team of lawyers should NEVER been allowed in the proceedings of Howard and Virgie’s hearing in Florida on who could claim the body of Anna. This just bugs the hell out of me!!!! Furthermore, Opri and O’Quinn attending the funeral infuriates me, can you imagine how Howard feels in the photo with Larry and Opri above…God, talk about dignity…Howard is displaying it by standing by Debra Opri at the funeral!

What about Birkhead's backgound? I can't beleive he is as clean as he is being protrayed. Has anyone read up on this guy's life?

TEAM LARRY SUPPORTORS-YEAH MAYBE LARRY MAY BE THE BIOLOGICAL DAD BUT IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS IF HE'S NOT. AND I THINK THEY ARE BILLING ANNA'S ESTATE. SHAME ON THEM AND SHAME ON VIRGIE AND JOHN O'QUINN. AS FOR THE BAG FULL OF DRUGS-I'VE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL ALOT AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HEADLINE NEWS AND THEY WOULD HAVE KICKED HER OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. MR. BIRKHEAD IS NOT AS CLEAN AND INNOCENT AS HE AND DEBRA OPRI ARE MAKING HIM OUT TO BE. WE HKS SUPPORTORS NEED TO CONTACT HKS'S LAWYERS AND TELL HOWARD TO WATCH HIS BACK FOR LARRY BIRKHEAD.

YEAH, WAY TO GO HOWARD K. STERN SUPPORTORS, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING ALL OF YOU HAVE POSTED. HOWARD HAS BEEN WITH ANNA AND STOOD BY HER AND SUPPORTED HER FROM THE GET GO. HE LOVED HER VERY MUCH. MAYBE IN THE END SHE REALIZED THAT. I THINK HOWARD SHOULD GET CUSTODY OF DANNIELYNN AND BE EXCUTIOR OF ANNA'S ESTATE. I'M TIRED OF SEEING HIM SLAMMED AND BEAT UP IN THE PRESS. AND IF HE MAKES MONEY FROM INTERVIEW'S, HE DESERVES IT.

ANNA ALSO WAS ESTRANGED FROM HER MOTHER BEFORE SHE MET HOWARD. THAT SEVEN LIFE INSURANCE POICIES IS CRAZY BUT IF HOWARD GETS THEM THEN GOOD FOR HIM.

LARRY BIRKHEAD WOULD NOT BE TRYING TO GET CUSTODY OF DANNIELYNN EXCEPT FOR THE MONEY.

I HOPE HOWARD GETS DANNIELYNN AND ANNA'S ESTAE FOR DANNIELYNN AND ANY MONEY HE CAN FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL USE.

I have watched this closely, watched Anna over the years, her life unfold...and ALWAYS Howard was there for her. He loved her when she was fat, when she was acting like a fruitcake (not on drugs), whenever you see a pic of Anna, Howard is sitting off to the side, not in the limelight, he gave her the stage. He cared for her, loved her, managed her affairs, protected her, he stood by her when he could have been making millions as an attorney in CA. He never received a cent for any of his work on cases that went to the supreme court, to managing her affairs, to babysitting her in hospitals. SPLASH get off Howard's back and stop making the mommy dearest look like the poor mommy here! What is to be said about a mother that stands by and lets her "baby" get raped and beat??!!

Just wanted to let you all know to watch Entertainment Tonight tonight! Everyone will SEE the true colors of Virgie!

Instead of shoveling ONE shovel of dirt on her daughter's grave (which is typically the norm), she shovels and shovels and shovels and shovels some more (up to 51 times!) like a MAD woman AND....to top that off....she WALKS ON ANNA'S GRAVE when she is done! Talk about the HUGEST form of DISRESPECT!!! What person in their right mind would WALK on a person's grave right after they are buried?!?! Looks to me that that was her last JAB at Anna to put her in her place! SICK! SICK! SICK WOMAN!

And, I agree with JoJo....Larry and his lawyers should NOT have been part of the proceedings regarding the body. He did NOT try to claim the body, only Howard and Virgie did. However, that is now unfortunate water under the bridge. I think Debra Opri is a piece of work (same with Virgie's lawyer). She is a loud mouth who spits evil everywhere she goes. And then she sits there with her smug grins on these talk shows like she is something special. Turns my stomach. I think she actually does more damage for Larry than good.

Oh, to clear something up... Ron Rale (Anna's attorney) was on On The Record last night and stated that there are NO, I repeat, NO insurance policies on Anna. Apparently another set of lies coming from the opposing attornies to try and stir the pot some more on poor Howard. And, once again, he clarified that Howard is NOT, has NOT, and will NOT get ANY money for the interviews he has done or for the filming of the burial.

One last thing.... Ford Shelly needs to go crawl back in his hole and stay there! How DARE he claim to be one of Anna's closest friends, only to steal her personal items and then sell them to TMZ. (Speaking of which...Harvey Levin is a piece of work too. And, he calls himself an attorney. A pretty poor one, if you ask me. He's the one that fuels a lot of these FALSE rumors and fire. Shame on you Harvey. You need to start getting your facts straight.) Ford and his wife were on tv last night saying that they were 'uninvited' to the funeral. Well, I can completely understand why! After the 'private' conversation between Howard, Larry, and Ford (which I still can't wrap my head around why he was even in that meeting in the first place), he goes on national tv and BLABS what is discussed! Once again, I'm sure sure personal gain! So, if, in fact (which I don't believe a word he says) he WAS initially invited to the funeral, I would uninvite him too after something like that. That truly shows his colors and shows that he is NOT a true friend to Anna. He is in this for HIMSELF. Then, he doesn't stop with that ONE interview on tv, he goes on AGAIN last night and spills MORE of the information from that PRIVATE meeting! Absolutely NOT a true friend of Anna's in my book. Good for Howard for crossing him off the list. That was the RIGHT thing to do!

DEBBIE AND HOWARD SUPPORTER-I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU TWO WROTE. I WATCHED THAT FORD SHELLY AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY GRETA KEEPS INVITING HIM ON HER SHOW. I'M HAPPY TOO HE GOT UNINVITED TO THE FUNERNAL. THEY NEED TO ARREST HIM, LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.

FORD SHELLY ALSO SAID ANNA WAS ONLY DOING THE COMMITMENT CEREMONY AND MARRYING HOWARD BECSUSE SHE WAS NOT IN HER RIGHT MIND. HOWARD NEEDS TO STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS GUY AS POSSIBLE. I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT LARY BIRKHEAD, THE DEBRA OPRI SHOW AND HARVEY LEVIN, WOW HE SURE HAS HIS FACTS WRONG.

I SURE HOPE SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD WHEN HOWARD GETS HIS LIFE BACK TOGETHER HE WRITES A BOOK ABOUT HIS LIFE WITH ANNA NICOLE. I THINK IT'S GREAT SHE LEFT LARRY BIRKHEAD.

I'LL BE WATCHING ET TONIGHT. LAST NIGHT ON SHOWBIZ TONIGHT THE FEMALE COMMENTAOR TRIED TO GET DR. PERRPER TO SAY SOMETHIN ABOUT ANNA BEING ON DRUGS IN THAT CLOWN VIEDO FORD SHELLY STOLE ANDRAN ON THE RECORD BUT DR. PERRPER SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALOT OFPROOF BEFORE YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT ANYONE. I WAS SO HAPPY TOHEAR HIM SAY THAT. SHE FINALLY WENT ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M SO TIRED OF THE NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS SLAMMING HOWARD K. STERN AND ANNA NICOLE.

IT'S NICE TO READ ALL OF YOUR POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON HOWARD K. STERN.

Howard Stern deserves the money and the baby. He HAD to have loved Anna Nicole to stay with her and watch her with all these men. She treated him badly. He worked for her full-time for free for over 10 years! Why shouldn't he get paid?

I think Birkhead's outward boyish appearance has us all fooled. I think those emails he sent Anna show his true colors. He isn't a mister nice guy. Howard is.

And Mommie Dearest? She makes me sick too. I think she could use a double dose of prozac.

Just watched ET and am absolutely SICKENED by what Virgie did! I can't believe that she put that picture of her and Anna on Anna's grave at the last minute as the casket was getting lowered and now that will be there with Anna as she lies there. I bet she is rolling in grave.

And to watch her shovel that dirt....such a SICK, SAD woman. It is tradition to shovel ONE shovel full of dirt and then pass the shovel to the next person. For her to shovel and shovel and shovel...over 50 shovel's worth....I don't even have words for it. It turned my stomach. She sure looked like she was taking her last, final jab at both Anna and Howard. And to watch her WALK across her daughter's grave RIGHT AFTER she was buried was SICKENING to watch! HOW TOTALLY INCONSIDERATE!!!

I can't wait to watch ET tomorrow and listen to Howard's sister tell Virgie how pathetic she is. I'm so glad someone had the respect for Anna to speak up and put Virgie in her place.

After seeing Virgie's display at the funeral, I am so GRATEFUL that Anna is buried where she is.....FAR AWAY from Texas!

THANKS FOR THE INFO ABOUT E-MAILING KRISTA BARTH HOWARD K. STERN'S ATTORNEY. TO ALL YOU HOWARD SUPPORTS AND TEAM HOWARD PEOPLE, RON RALE WAS ON LARRY KING TONIGHT WITH HOWARD'S OTHER ATTORNEY JAMES NEBBITT'S, AND MR RALE WAS SAYING HE HAS RECEIVED LOTS OF E-MAILS FROM PEOPLE SUPPORTING HOWARD AND THEY ALL HOPE HOWARD GETS CUSTODY OF DANNIELYNN. JUST THOUGHT MAYBE YOU ALL MIGHT WANT TO KNOW THIS.

Yea! I've been searching for a place to voice my opinion about HKS and so hope he sees all of these! We should all be so lucky as Anna to have the love and devotion like HKS had for her!

MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HOWARD, DANNIELYNN AND HIS LAWYERS AND HIS FRIENDS THAT ARE THERE FOR HOWARDS SUPPORT WITH THE CUSTODY BATTLE AMND ALL THOSE NASTY ALLAGATIONS AND ACCUSATIONS AND NEGATIVE PRESSOUT THERE AGAINST HOWARD.

ANNA'S WACKO MOTHER, FATHER AND HER WACKO ATTORNEY'S. I'VE LOST ALOT OF RESPECT FOR THE CBLE NEWS SHOWS AND ALL THESE SO=CALLED TABLIOD MAGAZINES.

SO FAR ET HAS BEEN THE ONE SHOW THAT I HAVE TRUSTED THE MOST.
