Anna Nicole Smith is dead

[Lindaloo]

The baby looks like the other guy, not Stern.

That Larry guy? The one thing I will say is he seems to have been fighting to prove he is the father since the child was born. Maybe his motives are pure and I've just become far too cynical

Yeah that Larry guy. I do know he really loved her.

It is interesting also that Anna Nicole lived with him for most of her pregnancy. He actually lives near here and I remember people with their Anna Nicole sightings.

Did anyone watch the Anna Nicole show? Anna seemed to me like a very strong yet screwed up person. Howard took a lot of $hit from her and supported her during the entire show. She was really mean to him and seemed to control him completely. I think her screwed up life started way back in her childhood and the fact that her Mom let her quit school at a very young age and pretty much do whatever she wanted. It didn't seem that this wonderful, concerned Mom and now grandmother ever gave her any guidance or much love. Thru this all Anna raised her son on her own. I don't think she was the type that could have been brainwashed. She was dumb like a fox and totally bull-headed. jmo

So it looks like the judge will be ruling very soon on who gets control of Anna Nicole's body. I have been addicted to watching this circus, LOL.

[Lindaloo]

That judge is grandstanding. He is making it all about paternity and everything else. He should focus on the issue at hand, make a ruling and let the California courts decide on paternity. Telling the courtoom to unite and hold hands is clearly proof that he is enjoying the limelight.

I've heard he wants a TV show.

Anyway, yeah I agree. He's been a big joke to be honest.

[Brent]

The guardian for her baby daughter gets custody. Alrighty... what does that mean? Must consult with Arthur, Birkhead, and Stern. He wants her buried with her son.

[Brent]

The guardian has said Anna Nicole will be buried in the Bahamas next to her son, but Virgie Arthur, her mother has filed an appeal.

Ugh. Bury her poor body already.

[GalvestonDuck]

The judge crying got to me...I think several people were crying but we could only really hear him. As far as I could tell, it wasn't an act. He sobbed a few times. I think he was exhausted from it all and said something to that effect, about having the cameras on him for just a week and he couldn't imagine living life like that.

I was surprised when Birkhead's attorney tossed in that little punch during the press conference -- "Mr. Birkhead will be with his daughter soon." She said that after even Birkhead himself said they had all agreed to not talk about that at the time. They were only there to deal with where Anna Nicole would be enterred.

So, now there's an appeal?

[baygirl_1]

From what I gathered listening to Fox News on the ride home from work, it seems there is no appeal. All three - Vergie Arthur, Howard Stern, and Larry Birkhead-- were united. In fact, the reporters were speculating there had been some deals struck during the hour they had between the judge's ruling and the press conference. There's supposed to be a hearing re: the paternity tomorrow morning.
Honestly, I cannot believe I am watching this stuff! It's like a train wreck: it's just so awful but you can't stop watching!

Well, I am not only impressed but rather surprised that the judge's approach worked. They are actually united in what is best for Anna. There was a press conference where Stern, Larry and her Mom stood together (although not hand in hand) but together just the same and stated that they all are in agreement that they wanted her to rest in peace. There will be no appeal, but that the paternity will continue tomorrow in a California courtroom.

Now what may have caused this turn around in less than an hour has me baffled. Was there some sort of monetary agreement, I don't know and I hate to speculate, but IMO, there probably was.

[Pburgh]

I don't know what it was that made them agree but I'd like to smack Virgie silly!!!!!! I don't think she should even go to the funeral --- Nor do I think Larry Birkhead should. Let the woman be buried beside her son in peace.

I'm still trying to figure out why Virgie is fighting this. What exactly is wrong with Anna being buried next to her son? She actually stated in court that if the judge had ruled for her, she would have MOVED Daniel to Texas.

See, I disagree. I think Stern is the problem here. He may be the "legally presumed" father...or the one with whom Anna was made to believe she should raise her daughter. But I believe Birkhead could very well be the biological father. Furthermore, what did her mother do that warrants her uninvited to the funeral? It was her daughter, even if Stern try to keep them apart.

[vbhoutex]

There is NO WAY anyone would keep me from one of my children's funeral (God forbid I ever have to deal with that!) no matter what the situation was or had been!!!! It is really that simple for me.

Past all this bickering and circus going on everyone needs to be sure that they are keeping the best interests of one person in mind and that is Danilynn!!! No one else really matters in this whole scheme of things IMO.

[Pburgh]

Boy, I don't think I have ever disagreed with you Duckie. Kinda intimidating!!!!! lol
Anna hated her Mother. Anna didn't even live with her Mom after she was 16. She lived with other family members. She wouldn't even let her Mom go to Danny's funeral and was outraged that her Mom visited the cemetery. I would normally be on the side of Moms and Grandmothers. In this case I'll make an exception. All this time and attention should have been given to her daughter when Anna/Vickie was young and values were being learned. Her daughter might not have grown up so totally screwed up and this death may never have happened. It's way too late for her to redeem herself by acting concerned. She's after the money.

David, I don't think she had seen her daughter in 10 years or so. You are not in the same universe as this so called mother. You really are a concerned and loving father.

[GalvestonDuck]

It's way too late for her to redeem herself by acting concerned. She's after the money.

Regardless of the outcome of the custody battle and the execution of her will, her mom does have a right (and need) to grieve the loss of her daughter, IMO. Going to the funeral does not have any bearing on who gets the money or the child.

Karan, don't be intimidated. My quack is worse than my bite.

[Lindaloo]

Virgie has appealed, although yesterday she said that she wouldn't.

I think Stern had alot to do with her death and is trying to cover his behind. Second, I do agree she should be with her son. She chose to bury him in the Bahamas which further proves that is where she wanted to be.

[Pburgh]

Oh Duckie I was just kiddin ya. I'm not intimidated by too much of anything. You know me better than that. ((HUGS))

I think if Vergie wanted to grieve the loss of her daughter she should have started about 20 years ago. That's when she really lost her. Anna Nicole will turn over in her grave if her Mom attends the funeral. What a show!!!!!

Can you imagine if Vergie would get custody of Dannylynn and raise another Anna Nicole. Hey, she could keep trying till she gets it right!!!!!

[vbhoutex]

Oh, I have no doubt Virgie is after the money. But I still stand by my statement about going to the funeral. Past that the woman should have no say in anything else. There may be some motherly/grandmotherly ways trying to surface, but it is doubtful considering they haven't shown themselves for 20+ years, at least in the case of Anna Nicole. And the way the wills that have surfaced so far are written, it is even doubtful that Dannylyn will inherit anything. Gonna be more of a show before it even starts to consider settling down.

I also have thought all along that Stern is the major culprit in all of this from Danny's death on. Trying to cover his arse is an understatement.

And thanks for the compliment on my fatherly personality. I try hard, but I am not always right. Of course with the kids married or marrying and out of the house it is easier now.
