Larry Birkhead Cashes In Again

April 30, 2007


It didn’t take long for Larry Birkhead to start cashing in on his new found fame. NBC has reportedly paid a whopping $1 million dollars for all the info he’s been giving them.

According to NY Post, shortly after Anna Nicole’s death Birkhead struck a deal with the network.

A rep for Bravo confirmed to Page Six: "NBC Universal has an exclusive contract with Larry Birkhead and we don't discuss the terms of our deals."

"They'll be on board a Bravo-funded plane along with Howard K. Stern and the network is planning some kind of big interview," the insider says.

So he got a million from NBC and he got money from OK! At least now he can financially take care of Dannielynn, let's just hope he has her best interest at heart.

Stern, Be strong and faith. Do whatever you can and keep follow to Anna Smith's comments to you. I am sure anna Smith can hear you Stern. Dont give up to fight over Virgie to stay away from Danielynn and Larry. I prayed Larry will allow you (Stern) to be part with Danielynn's family. I know you respect Anne Smith and I know how Anna Smith go thru many bad exerience. You go brave and follow what Anne Smith real want for you to do. Be strong and be Faith. Let Anna Smith in your heart (stern's heart). Remember that. MOney does not help but memory is always good to remember and loved one.

Stern is good man and I have know him almost 10 years he is very devoted to a long time lawyer/lover, he love Anne and he is in love with Anne and Annne is control over Stern. Do please not to blame Stern, he is on her side no matter what. He is suffer and he lose his very close Anne and they almost get married but it happen. I am happy for Larry who is father to Dannielyn but to remember Anne only want Stern to be father instead Larry. Let Stern to guardian to Danielyn. In my heart, he is hurtful by people who are insulted Stern so much. God forib you people. Stern is good man and he is very good care to DAniel, Anna and Danielynn but why you think he murder them. HOw dare you people think. Remembered Anne Smith only trust Howard Stern more than Larry or others. You should let what Anne real want before her died. To whatever you are or courts to please consider and understand how Howard Stern always under Anne's supportive and he is fighter for Anne SMith that he is against to Virgie. Please do not against to Stern because he is in deep sad for lost Anne Smith that he ever loved. NO matter what they are but as long as Anna Smith's wish only for Danielynn. I know Larry is good father but also Stern is good man too. Dont you forgot that. I know him for 10 years and I only know larry 4 years. TO inform you that Howard Stern is very humble and he is her lawyer and lover. I have been witness he was with Anna that I was invited to their Anna, Stern's home hundred times. TO please respect to Howard Stern. he is not againstt to Larry and he knew it but Anne is over control to Stern. I respect to Stern mostly 100%. Let Stern to see Danielynn also and I am sure Stern accept Larry and support him 100% that I have know him. Please support Stern/Larry for costody Danielynn to stay away from DEVIL grandma Virgie. ANy question I will give you my email if you want know who I am. will do. Gob bless you and I miss Anne and Daniel also once saw one time to Daniel

Why has Larry become the target, that he is gay or bi-sexual. So what if he is? What does any of that have to do with the FACT that he is Dannielynn's father and that he seems ready to take good care of his little angel. Anna Nicole and Howard are the ones who ran off to the Bahama's to keep the "real father" Larry from having access to his child. If they had not done this, Larry would not be in a position to have to make any deals of any kind. I don't blame him one bit. Think about how much his legal bills are. And what, do you think Howard is going to pay for them after trying to steal Dannielynn. He has been living off of her mother for years. Unfortunatley, Anna was to sick to see through this leach of a human being. He saw a weak, vulnerable woman who with stood to inherit millions of dollors, and he took continuous advantage of her. He didn't love her, he loved her money and what her money could do for him, which was to enable him to live off of her. He's a frickin creep! And, I think he's the one that is GAY and a druggie himself. I commend Larry for stepping forward and taking on such a huge financial legal battle to gain custody of his daughter and to save her from the clutches of a scum bum who only wished to make a profit off this beautiful bay girl. C'mon ladies you know there are a lot of dead beat fathers out there who would have just walked away with out a care in the world to lead there care free and irresponsible life.and not give a shit bout this little girl. So, I as a woman commend Mr. Larry Birkhead for stepping up to the plate right from the very begging. Remember this; The truth will set you free. Larry, you and Dannielyne are now free. Best of luck and God Bless you both. Good night my Sweet Larry Baby.

To Abby, I think Abby you are WRONG. Anna Nicole DID NOT HAVE A RIGHT to flee to the Bahamas. The child she was carrying belong to her and Larry. She was out of control, and thought she could do what she wanted too. Larry had equal rights to the child, and she hesitated NOT to take it away from him. May she rest in peace. She chased the millions of her late husband and have not seen a dollar of it.

I read that Larry is putting 'all the money into a trust for his baby'. Just so he knows. Babies, children and people DO NOT NEED million dollar trust funds. They need a loving family, and they need an education, so they will grow up and be able to provide for themselves. I lived in India where millions of people are licking the curb, and are lucky to get by on a $1 a day. And still, I saw that everybody is looking after the children, and these children seem to be happy. Please, stop this trust fund for the baby, and the body guards, and the private jets. Try to let her grow up as a much loved and nurtured young lady, and let her figure it out.

I think Larry Birkhead should not use any of the money from the new's people because that isn't right to sell the scoops to them. And I think that he should respect Anna Nicoles Smith death and not make money off her death. I thought that you were not in it for the money?? and that you just wanted your daughter and you were'nt interested in the money from anyone even the news people? LArry you lied and you sold the scoop and they gave you $1 millon Dollars for Anna NIcole's death that is sick my friend

I like to know how Larry feels when he is by himself with no media around. Daniel died because Anna Nicole ran away from Larry. If she didn't go to the Bahamas, running away from Larry, Daniel will be alive. Larry should respect Anna Nicole wishes and leave the little girl with Howard. She must be turning in her grave. Howard was doing what Anna Nicole asked him to do.

Who gives a s*** about someones sexuality. This man is the father and that is all that matters. We don't know the whole story and we never will. May god bless him and his beautiful child. Funny how people from your past come out of the woodwork to make a coin for themselves. Leave this family alone, they have been through hell and back. Try to walk a mile in their shoes and then comment. GO LARRY. May God take care of you and your daughter. I am sure she is the love of your life now. She deserves to lead a decent life and I am sure the Birkhead family is grounded to do that. Take care.

Until I have proof that Larry is Gay I sincerely ask that he is INNOCENT until proven GUILTY....Which way he leans is totally immaterial..he loves and cares for Dannielynn...GO GO GO LARRY...LOOK AFTER YOUR DAUGHTER! luv from "Down-Under" XXX

People here in Larry's home town know he's gay. He was with Anna to get her pregnant and that is why he broke up with her right afterwards. He then told her he planned on taking the baby away from her and that is why she did what she did. He can act concerned but I wonder if the Judge would have prohibited his ability to profit from the child if he would have taken her. Anna was used and I feel sorry for her.

Larry Birkhead has fought so hard for this baby, even long before her birth he has been trying to establish paternity, but has been held at bay by Howard K Stern as well as Anna Nicole herself. Justice is finally being done as DNA doesn't lie like a self serving lawyer does and Larry Birkhead gets to take his baby home !! Larry therefore deserves whatever millions are coming his way and I am sincerely hoping in future his own pictures of Dannielynn will also sell for millions of dollars. Larry has suffered a gross injustice at the hands of Anna Nicole as well as Howard K Stern and no millions can make up for the lost time in seeing Anna through her pregnancy, the birth of his baby and the first 7 months of her life. Instead Larry had to suffer the insult of having Howard K Stern's name on the birth certificate, Howard K Stern fawning and cooing over his baby and being publicly ridiculed over his paternity claim. No money could ever make up for all that indignity !!

Larry is a dumd ass!! He only wants money and,do you really believe that a man who would take a child away from the only man she knows as her father is ok..Is a moron!! He should have let her stay with Howard for awhile and let her gently get to know him..It is obviuos he does not give a shit..Why would he all he sees is Money..After all she is his cash cow...Poor Danilynn..no wonder Anna did not want him to know he was the father..He is proving himself to be great big asshole!!
0:01PM 05/01/07 MISSING U.....
SO FAR SO GOOD! MAY THIS LITTLE ONE BE LOVED TO DEATH!!!!!! AND NOT SPOILED ROTTEN..... PLEASE BE CAREFUL EACH DAY THE CHILD GETS YOU # NUMBER! SO LOVE HER AND KEEP HER CLEAN TRUE AND REAL..... FIRM STRONG AND HONEST.... BLESS THE MESS AND I STILL MISS DANIEL..... GO....DANNIELYNN

For one, everyone who is suprised Larry would go after the money shouldn't be at all. I mean, anyone who is in love with a drug addict craze as Anna Nicole and get her pregnant a couple times is capable of anything. But he is no different than other celebraties who uses their babies for profit. Angie and Brad did it-gave it to charity so they say; Britney and Kevin did it and kept the money for themselves; Tom and Katie did it; Brooke Shields did it, so on so forth. In a way they do it in hopes it will satisify the curious minds of the public as well as to make a quick dollar. They are entertainers don't forget.
7:48AM 05/01/07 Karen
All you Larry haters can just shaddup. He has every right to sell his story. It is HIS turn to get paid. Nobody is making money off the dead-this goes beyond Anna anymore-it has to do with that beautiful baby. And like someone else said-all of you mouthing off would be the first to accept a million bucks for a mere interview and some snap shots. Give it a rest already and let the guy get on with his life and do what he sees fit with HIS kid.
7:17AM 05/01/07 Libby
Consider this..... The media has made a FORTUNE from this story!!! And if the media didn't tell the story, we would not know about it! We WANT to know what is going on! If there is $$ to be made, why shouldn't the parties LIVING this story make some money, too? Larry has put the $$ from the photo spread (OK magazine) into a trust fund for Dannielynn. He said that before he did it. WHY NOT?? This will be an old story soon and he may as well insure his daughter's future while he can. Should he DONATE his story to the media so only they can make the millions? Of course not!! It was stated in the media weeks ago that Larry had the deal with NBC. It was brokered by Debra Opri in the Bahamas when they were there for the funeral. The NBC/Access Hollywood/Bravo involved the scoops about what Larry and Dannielynn have been doing and it will all be in a documentary that will be shown on Bravo. That will be the end of the contract. MAYBE Larry will do a book. If there is a market for his book - meaning if people want to BUY it, then why shouldn't he do a book? - If he doesn't do a book, then someone else will tell HIS story in some type of unauthorized version. I feel the same about Virgie and Howard. They have as much right as anyone else in theworld to do a book. If no one wants to buy it, fine... But if someone wants to pay them for their stories, that is their business. It is NOT a crime to make $$, as long as one lawfully owns what is being sold. I DO think it is wrong to make money by exploiting someone else - and I felt that way about HKS doing the REUNION WITH DANNIELYNN with ET. - She was not his child and he knew it. Anyone who sees those blue eyes knows she is Larry's child - not to mention that Howard probably never had sex with Anna. Lay off of Larry, Virgie and Howard and let them do what that want. I, for one, would buy Larry's book and watch the Bravo movie. I think he is a great guy and will be a wonderful father. I would not buy Virgie's book! (But she still has a right to do one.)Larry has been very sick and stressed and it is evident in recent photos of him. He needs to make the $$ he can make and then live quietly with his child. As for Howard, let the law handle him. Everyone is too lawsuit-crazy and Larry knows now what it is like to spend valuable days of one's short life in courtrooms and litigation. Sometimes, it is simply more prudent to let things go! If the justice system finds that Howard has done nothing wrong except for being another victim of Anna Nicole Smith, why should Larry squander these precious moments of his time with his daughter fighting Howard and trying to blame him for what was probably Anna's own fault??? We don't know what Larry thinks of Howard but I know that Larry will not ever forgive Howard for saying he had sex with Anna during the period of conception. Larry knows that is not true but Howard is bound to it because he said it in court. - Believe me, Larry will NOT be happy if Howard does a book and says he had sex with Anna for all of those years. I would not believe it either and that would taint all else in any book that Howard would do. It would be best for Dannielynn if Howard would admit that Anna loved Larry but was furious with him. And Virgie is to be pitied. Despite everything, she has probably always wanted more in life and her attorneys have convinced her that she can waste her life now by running after the Marshall $$. The woman is only 56 years old and she looks at least 70. She has already had a brain aneurysm and she needs to take time to smell the coffee. If she acted reasonably, I know Larry's family would embrace her and she would be able to visit the baby, spend weeks at a time with her, etc.

Larry Birkhead must have HUGE attorny fee's to pay for. If I put myself in his shoes, I think I'd do exactly the same thing. I find it hard to believe that all you "doubters" would turn down a large sum of money if given the chance!!
7:46PM 04/30/07 betty Michigan
I just think it is so wonderful that Larry and his daughter are heading back to the US. I know in my heart he will be a good father. I just want him to enjoy his new daughter and i hope the rest of the world will give him some sort of privacy. I think it would be nice if Virgie Arthur would be happy for Larry and be a good grandmother instead of fighting for the custody. Dannielynn is just where she should be with her Daddy. Larry you are in our prayers.
7:17PM 04/30/07 melody
I agree. He needs the money to pay his bills just for fighting for the girl who's rightfully his. He shouldn't have had to fight for what is his. Anna should have been happy he didn't leave her like some would. Even though Howard isn't fighting him he'll probably still have to fight Virgie. She won't let go. she wants control over the money and it's none of her business. Since when do grandparents get a say in how their grandchildren are raised. That's the parents job and I give him credit for being a full-time parent without a mother for her. Who knows how much he'll have to spend to continue his fight for Dannielynn. Virgie has already vowed not to give up.
6:31PM 04/30/07 Miss Vickie
Since when is Larry Birkhead "cashing in" on his fame ?? If his story weren't news worthy he would not get a cent. His story became the centre of newsworthiness because of Anna Nicole and Howard K Stern collectively denying him paternity and his paternity rights. The guy has tried for over 7 months to get near his baby at probably $ 1.000.000.00 + cost to him. Larry Birkhead is not "cashing in", he is accepting what's been offered to him !!!
6:21PM 04/30/07 valarie
leave Larry alone, he is doing what a good father would do to take care of his child. This is his child and nobody else. A lot of you are just jealous and mad and don't have the courage to stand up for what it takes to pay the bills. As long as you can blame somebody for your failure of happiness your happy. The reality is bills have to be paid and if you want to pay them for him then let it be known. Otherwise shut-up. It is quite clear the Dannielyn will be while taken care of, just like to should be. And that her father is making sure that he'll be able to provide her. Valarie

With all the massive publicity this situation has led to, Larry is going to have to pay thousands of dollars a month just for security to make sure some nut doesn't kidnap the kid or come after him and the child. Not to mention all the celebrity stalkers who just want to come over to lunch everyday. That's the worse part of celebrity and why a lot of people are just as happy they are NOT famous. Who can afford it??
2:55PM 04/30/07 SweetGal_Deb
If Larry is bisexual....dare I say this? Could he & Howard be a couple making money off Dannielyn? If that's the case, I think I'll flip! Thru all this, fighting for legal rights while Anna as pregnant, then for custody after her death, I thought Larry was an ok guy & that all he wanted was to care for his baby girl away from the lime light. Then he gets DNA, then custody & what happens? He immediately sells a picture spread to OK! magazine for 2 million bucks!!! I fear that Larry, Virgie & of course Howard, are all in this just for the cash Dannielyn can produce. I hope Dannielyn never gets a cent from the Marshal estate. Money never gave her mother happiness & it's making the money grabbers come out of the woodwork!

Howard K. Stern is NOT disbarred and Larry Birkhead has to make money. He fought long and hard for his daughter. The one attorney was over 600,000 and the child has to be fed. Facts
1:24PM 04/30/07 susan
Larry has actually been putting all the money he's making into a trust fund for Dannielynn so he's not as bad as some think.
1:13PM 04/30/07 Celia
$$$Dannielynn$$$ Birkhead. Too bad Larry didn't stick to his word. He seems to have a problem in that area.
1:10PM 04/30/07 DJ
Larry is no better than Howard K. Stern. Sure didn't take long to find out Larry isn't at all what he promoted himself to be nor even close. Looks can be so deceiving.
0:42PM 04/30/07 Betty
He better be making some money off of all this with his attorney bills!
0:17PM 04/30/07 jenn
this entire anna nicole smith thing has become so annoying because its just sad. everyone is trying to monetize on dead people. its just sad
0:09PM 04/30/07 stefystef
Those who make money off the dead are doomed. This actually sickens me because it not about Danielynn or Anna Nicole, it's about all these 'cottage' industries poppin' up to make money off the death of Anna Nicole. So this bi-sexual so-called "photographer" and that disbarred, obessed lawyer will continue to make money off a sad, confused woman. Too sad.
