The Anna Nicole Saga: What's left?
4:01 Tuesday, April 10, 2007

Although Larry Birkhead has been named the father of Dannielynn from the 99.9% DNA result there are still several questions.
When will Larry officially receive custody of Dannielynn?
That depends; Stern says he will not stand in the way of Larry but sounds as if he will do whatever it takes to keep Virgie Arthur from gaining any sort of partial custody or guardianship, delaying Larry gaining custody of the young girl. Stern very graciously is allowing Larry to spend as much time with Dannielynn as he wants and just asks that transfer of custody is gradual, to prevent any undue harm or confusion for her.
When can Larry return to the states with Dannielynn?
Not until the matter of custody is solved.
What about the name on Dannielynn's birth certificate?
Her full name is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, can Larry or will Larry petition to have Stern's name removed from the birth certificate? My guess, probably.
What about the J. Howard Marshall fortune?
Anna Nicole was never awarded any money from her marriage to billionaire J. Howard Marshall, all she was granted in the Supreme Court ruling was the right to fight for her share. Now with both Anna Nicole Smith and Marshall's son E. Pierce Marshall dead it's hard to say how the fight for the estate will continue.
Will Larry continue to fight for the fortune?
Who knows, but lets hope he gets a cheaper lawyer this time.
Will this ruling finally allow Anna Nicole to rest in piece?
Not as long as there are still ratings to be had, money to be made, books to be written, TV shows and mini-series to be produced.
Is Stern really going to sue the media outlets that slandered, libeled, accused him of murder?
I'm not going to test it
I have a question for you chris..
what are dannielynn's chances of still be ing adopted by Angelina Jolie instead?
slim to none, she's already got a white baby for her collection
That pic looks awkward. Howard can't even make eye contact with Larry. He must be embarrassed as shit. He never thought Anna would die and things would end up this way. Karma's a bitch!
oo snap chris!
I suspect Howard feels there's not going to be a fortune attached to the child and he's happy to let her go. Time will tell.
My heart goes out to Howard. This has to be even harder than loosing ANS. He handled today very graciously towards Larry and I truly feel these 2 will work together to ensure that ANS is remembered in a way that won't totally embarass Dannielynn.
I think its the other way around. I think LARRY has acted very graciously toward HOWARD. This man has missed the latter days of preparation for his child's arrival, he missed his child's birth, he's missed her first 6 months..that man has missed out on a lot. And through it, he's been as gracious as humanly possible.
Larry has been gracious, i agree cyn...but HKS was doing what ANS wanted and ANS wanted to keep LArry (for whatever dumb reason she had) away from Dannielynn...ANS kept LArry away when she delivered Dannielynn and she kept him away from Dannielynn while she was alive....if ANS was still alive she'd probably still be fighting to keep Larry away....
Larry has always seemed like a decent person...only Opri gave him a harsh image...but with her fired, he can appear to be the decent person he is....he has stated taht he wants to raise Dannielynn to remember her mother and i believe he will keep the 'good' of ANS alive for Dannielynn...
Larry seems like a nice guy but not too bright LOL ! And he is such a pretty boy LOL ! Not a hair out of place LOL ! LOL !
p.s YES ! Lets hope Larry does not hire another thru the roof expensive lawyer again ( shaking head ) like I said ... the guy isn't too bright !
He's Purty !
It is a shame HK Stern didn't do more before he was shit out of luck.
CONGRATS LARRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What will Howard do now? Life, Job? How will his life go on?
