Dannielynn Hope Update

splashnews_asfl130207b_03.jpg
A Bahamian judge has ruled that Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn, must stay in the Bahamas and any attempts by Howard K. Stern to take her out of the country will lead to his arrest. Anna Nicole's mother, Virgie Arthur filed the desperate application to protect Dannielynn from the clutches of Stern. This is a major victory for the the family as the Bahamian court has now acknowledged concerns over the safety of the five-month-old baby.
"We are very happy with the decision but still very worried about my granddaughter. "We will do everything to protect her. We will keep fighting until she is away from the clutches of that man."
She will now push for Dannielynn to be handed over to social services until her paternity is resolved. The next court battle for Virgie will be to whom the body of Anna Nicole will be released.as she has filed an injunction in Florida that as Anna's next of kin the body should be released to her and not Stern. Stern is adamant that Anna wanted to be buried next to her son Daniel in the Bahamas while Virgie wants to take her body back to Texas.

"A Bahamian judge"

Wow he ruled in favour of keeping him in the country that pays him? What a surprise.

And who will raise the kid? Oh the state? Well then I guess they'll look after the money she inherits? That sure is nice of them.

Thieving pricks. That kid has no chance.

Door A: A fat white trash piece of shit who will use all the money on a big trailer and bingo.

Door B: A thieving, possibly murderous, Jewish prick who will have her in Playboy on her 18th birthday at worst.

Door C: Some black islanders who will most likely just "morn" after the accident that kills her inevitably happens and then they'll divide the money.


i surely hope vergie don't take the body of anna to bring to texas, it is not what anna wanted!!! i strongly believe she want to be buried next to her son danny in bahamas!!! vergie don't ruin anna's wishes! anna been through alot alot alot of bad childhood with vergie, she abused, whooped, mean, yelled at anna when she was a little.

howard is a great man and good father to dannilynn! howard is always be there for anna the most of her life.

come on, quit being so mean to howard.. leave him alone. i believe he has nothing to do with her and danny's death!


Door D : A photographer who genuinely thinks he's the father, and has been fighting for her, even BEFORE the mother died.

God I HOPE the father is Larry Birkhead. He's the only one who seems somewhat sane.

And, technically, her mother is the only one who could be entitled to do anything with her daughter's body. After all, Howard wasn't Anna's husband.

In the end, though, can't they just READ HER WILL and see where SHE wanted to be buried?

Jackie - 10 years is not "most of her life".


I think Virgie is right to ask Bahamian government to take the child into child protective services. The judge could suggest that the parties agree that the body of ANS be released but that the parties also agree that ANS will be buried in the Bahamas. But I can see why the judge wants to know answers to the other questions like (1) who is the baby's daddy; and (2) what was the cause of death because those answers could really impact his decisions. For example if Stern is the father but is also a suspect if the cause of death is homocide, then clearly the body should go to TX and probably Daniel's body should go there as well. If Stern is not the father and there was no foul play, then the judge still might want to rule that the body goes to TX because he might be thinking that the baby might want to periodically visit her mother's gravesite and the grandmother could later make arrangements to have the grandson brought to TX also. Ii think whether the judge takes ANS's "wishes" into consideration will largely depend on what her cause of death was and whether she sufficiently stated a "wish" or had the capacity to state a "wish". The main thing is that the baby should currently be in the care of a conflict free caretaker.


I am a mother. I did not know Anna Nicole Smith. This is so clear cut. We know only one sure thing about the heart of Anna, she was a mother who loved her son and it's pretty obvious watching her interview with ET that his death broke her in half. There are a million reasons beyond the usual mother and child bond as to why Anna and Danial were so close. Niether really had any other close relatives. His father was non-existant in his life, and her family was estranged for decades. They were consistantly and unconditionally the only ones each could count on. If Vergie wants to prove to the world that the bone of a mother is left in her, then do what is obviously right. Bury your daughter with her child. The place matters little, it is the act that is so important. As a mother with the right intentions, would you really keep fighting over your daughter's final resting place as she lay in a morgue rotting. Even strangers see this as totally dispicable. You still can not put unconditional love of your child first, and those of us who are true mothers can see this for what it is, because the heart of a true mother would be thinking of far more important things. Maybe you should try to love your daughter the way your daughter loved her son. Anna could have taught you alot about the act of loving a child Vergie. Even if her own life was influenced by drugs, It's never hard to see love when it is present, in your case I guess Anna was right, because your every move just speaks volumes about how you really feel about your daughter Anna. I want to believe that you love your child, but you make that very difficult by your actions. The Bahamas are not important, the drugs are no longer important, the hollywood lifestyle is no longer important, It now boils down to allowing a mother and her child both dead, to rest together in peace, this decision would be an easy one for any real mom.


Good luck Vergie...we love you ! I stand behind you 1000% percent. Help this lady SPLASH. HELP HER ! NOW!

The Judge is a piece of crap. He was paid off to and took his time to get his 5 days of fame. If you listened to the case on TV the judge already made up his mind before the case even started by comments he made to Vergie and the way he talked to her lawyer (calling him TEXAS). What a jerk. I hope for the love of God that this case be taken a little more seriously than it has been. So far they have turned it into a damn joke. Anna’s son, daughter, Mom and others need to be treated with respect and the rule of the real laws need to be enforced. I saw what happened in court yesterday, that slimebag lawyer of Howard K. Stern walked up and snuck the cup that Larry Berkhead was drinking out of. Now they will get Larry’s D&A so Howard will no for sure whether Larry is the real dad as he already knows he is not. You know damn well he has had a swab of himself and Danielynn done in the Bahamas. He knows he is not the dad, that’s why he is fighting so damn hard. He needs to be in jail. He is responsible for the death of Anna and Daniel. Whether he did it directly or not someone either him or Anna gave Daniel Methodone in that hospital room ! Howard was an enabler and sttod by and watched Anna take drugs and even got them for her. So anyway you look at it he is an unfit person. He needs to be investigated to the fullest extent on the law. Bahamma laws are just as crooked as ARUBA’S ! You can literally get aways with Murder in these drug infested Islands.
I hope somehow that bady will be protected. Howard is holding the baby hostage. If all else fails and the BAHAMMA courts will not do the right thing and allow real justice to prevail then I hope someone kidnaps that baby and brings it to the USA where she belongs ! Enough of BS already.
Howard Stern is a leech and a gold digger and a pimp daddy. He is a disgrace to the human race. A peice of toliet scum. He would sell his own mama for a buck. He will continue to sell pictures and video of ANNA and Daniel and the baby til he runs out of material and you can bet over the years he has a lot of it hidden to make him a good living. (still off Anna) She was his wallet. What a lowfife.
I hope Vergie will continue to do talk shows in her daugherr behalf and she will make money herself as I know she retired and does nto have money to fight this beast. I hope someone will step up to the plate and help her pay for all these lawyers she needs. They do not work for free. Poor Vergie gets an offer for a plane ticket to go see her grandsons grave and she all of a sudden is a scumbag. ….and it’s okay for Howard to do all these things. I call that pot-kettle. How shameful people are towards this old fashion small town lady (that happens to be heavy set)with a beautiful daugher she loved and tried to warn. I am sick of people putting down Anna’s mother. You all need to be bitch slapped! She is a human being with feelings. Leave her the hell alone.
Anna’s mother should bury her daughter in Texas or California and Daniel needs to be brought back to the states and buried beside her. Anna was born and raised in the USA and so was Daniel. To bury Daniel in a foreign land and Anna too, is a disgrace.
Howard could do us all a favor and jump in the pool or ocean and drown himself. He is lower than low. I hope Larry Berkhead gets his child soon. I worry for the baby’s safety. Is she going tobe next. ??
I can only hope justice will be done !


To #6: Are you and Virgie smokin crack or you getting a percentage of the money? Howard is the best thing that happen to Anna. If he was not there, who would had taken care of her. NOT YOU or HER MONEY HUNGERY Mother. If you can call her a MOTHER. She was just a egg donor. Where was Virgie when Anna needed help? OOOOh, I don't think Anna wanted that evil woman around her or her family.... Do you really think that they should dig up his coffin and fly it back to Texas. Get real woman.. Anna moved to the Bahamans to have her baby and bury her son for a reason. I think the reason was to get away from VIRGIE!!!!! She is nothing but TRASH!!! All she wants is money off of Anna!!!


Splash, you should be ashamed for driving Virgie to view Anna's body and I am proud it was revealed in court. That sorry excuse of a mother was exposed for what she really is.
Go back to Texas and exhibit a little decency if you can Virgie, in other words, go live as you have for the past 30yrs.


I think Vergie loved her daughter and there is a saying when your child get into drugs you have to love them enough to let them hate you, and sometimes it takes years for that to happen that does not mean that Vergie did not love Anna it simple means that she would not stand by and support her Drug habits and until you have had to expierence this kind of problem there is no way you can understand if it were a alcholic you would know that you don't just give them what they want either. Guess who helped her with that, Howard her little go for it ah yes true love stand by his woman and her bank account now that really love you all need to wake up. This whole thing could be settled Monday morning go to the hospital there in the bahamas and have the DNA test done coward oh I mean Howard let them film you swabing the inside of your cheek that is what they do in my state. they have the father and mother and child present and pictures are made of them while the test is done so there is no ? as to whom they took Dna from Anna's tissue is already been taken now it's your turn if you were the father you wouldn't be so afraid and if your real concern is that Dannielyn gets the money set up a trust for her through the court oh that right you wouldn't be getting money for taking care of her money if you done that your a low life!


If HK$ raises Dannielyn she will be like Anna in 20 years. If Larry raises her she will be well educated, independent, protected and with a loving family.
I feel sorry for Larry for being drawn in by that money grubbing Anna.
I wonder how many men she tried to tell they were the father so she and HK$ could blackmail them into paying their ways?


If only Vergie would of picked up the phone when Anna tried to reach out to her after the death of her son. I think going on t.v, made it worse. Sorry.
I hope you all are paying her well for this picture. BTW


Hey Vergie, Why don't you stop trying to be the mother you should have been when your daughter was alive. Why don't you go back to texas where you belong. "Mommy Dearst"!!!! The last thing your granddaughter needs is you in her life, so she can be misable just like anna!! Believe me, when she gets older she will figure it out for herself!!!!


What's with the comment made on "The Line Up" (Sat. night, Fox News Channel) that Howard K Stern is gay?? Just because Dr. Kapoor, Anna, Birkhead and Stern were photographed in a gay bar doesn't mean anything.

Anyone know anything about Stern's sexual orientation?


#7 Maybe we should be asking you is HK$ sharing his drugs with you? Anyone in their right mind knows this baby doesn't belong to or with this guy. Get a life!


Virgie is a disgusting, depicable ,sorry excuse for a 'mother' if you can even eek out that title for her. To go on Tv,Dr Keith Albow show,CNN and suggest Anna had a hand in killing her beloved child,calling her a drunk,playing her private phone msg, not caring that it hurt her daighter, or maybe she wanted to hurt her, just reeks of 'payback' to me...

Guess Virgie has never forgiven Anna for not continuing to allow her and her pathetic family members from milking her and using her for money. Hitting Anna at the lowest point in her life publicly says it all about the lowlife,classless,trash dynamics of Anna's bio family.
How incredibly painfull it must have been for Anna. My heart aches for her.
Her own family bringing her down and twisting the knife in her back.Her own 'mother' not defending her, but leading the attack-pack... Talk about betrayal and humiliation of the worst kind.
Her whole family needs a punch in the face, but especially Virgie.piece of shyte.
Fool the fans, not the players. Hatred and greed is what's driving this beast.


I commend HKS 4 being so helpfull 2 Larry w helping w knowing what Dannie likes & not likes considering Hks has lost every thing he has loved so much 4 so long.I wish only the best 4 Larry & his beautiful baby girl.As 4 Virgie,Anna made it VERY clear she wanted nothing 4 her 2 do w Dannie.She was crap of a mother 4 Anna,Y would any 1 think she would b any better 4 a grandmother 4 Danni? CONGRADS LARRY!God bless u & your daughter.
