TBD Anna Favorite Photo To Be Etched on Anna-Daniel Gravestone
By Art Harris, (c) The Bald Truth, all rights reserved
Wanted: a giant granite stone large enough to cover two burial plots-- Anna Nicole Smith, and her son, Daniel. Now buried together in the Bahamas.
But the stone has to be smooth enough so Anna Nicole Smith's favorite photo of her with late son, Daniel can be etched on the memorial. Stern didn't reveal to me what photo that is...As for the gravestone:
"It needs to be as large as an entryway rug," says Howard K. Stern, named executor of her will Tuesday in an LA probate court. The tombstone search would be one of the first joint ventures between Stern as executor, and Larry Birkhead, named guardian of Dannielynn's estate, and the trust fund that will be set up for her. Stern says they want her memorial to be special, and are hunting for a firm with experience in etching digital photos onto granite.
"The stone has to be flawless," he says. Why?
<
“We have Anna’s favorite photo of her with Daniel, and we want to have it engraved on the granite,” Stern tells me, “So it needs to be a perfect stone because it will show more detail from the photo, which is digital and needs to be enlarged.”
So the executor is searching for a firm that specializes in stone memorials for cemeteries and that could mean importing one from the United States. Since grave markers are big business for cemeteries, he may need permission from the Bahamian cemetery where Anna and Daniel are buried, he says.
In the mystery photo, he says they both look very happy together.

I’m sure whatever Howard finds, it will be beautiful. I can only imagine how hard this must be on him, trying to find a headstone. It’s probably one more thing to remind him that his Anna is gone. God bless his heart!
June 20th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
I’m glad that Howard and Larry are working together. I hope that this relationship continues. I wish Howard all the best with everything he does, including finding the best headstone for Anna and Daniel
June 20th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Wow Art! You really are on top of Everything!
You really are the source to go to.
I’m like some sort of drug junkie when it comes to this case and you keep on giving me my fixes.
I wonder if these questions can be answered…
What exactly is the diffrence between Howard being the executor and Larry being the guardain? Does it mean that Howard is in charge of Anna’s money and Larry is in charge of Anna’s stuff?
Also, I’ve HEARD (I think it was here actaully) that Anna herself did not own her LA home, it was her Inc. that owned it. And both Anna and Howard where partners in it. Now that Anna is no longer around, if in fact it is true that the house was owned by the Inc., would that make Howard the “owner” by default?
IF thats true, how weird would that be? Howard currently living in a home that belongs to Larry Birkhead’s daughter and Larry Birkhead and his daughter living in a home that “belongs” to Howard. (And if its NOT true, thats how rumors get started!! *glare*)
June 20th, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Bonnie an Howard,
It’s nice to know @ least Annas final wishes will be carried out and she and Daniel can rest in pease knowing the people who cared about her the most will always have her interests 2 heart!xoxoxoxoxo-Jessica
Ps. I cant wait to see the finished granite picture that will be applied to the stone, i know it will be perfect, Especially if Howard is having anything to do with it! He always made shur Anna could always do her best….
June 20th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I think that is a lovely idea for Howard and Larry to do,Anna and Daniel should only have the best gravestone.I think that Anna would be proud to see that Larry and Howard are working together.I,m so happy about that.
June 20th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
This is so nice, it is great, really, really great to see these two men put their differences aside all in the name of a little girl named Dannielynn. Really sweet story.
June 20th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
I thought Anna was buried on top of Daniel not side by side. . .
June 20th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
That will be beautiful Howard. Good luck in finding it. You are one in a million Howard.

that would be something speacil for them. I am glad that they want to do something like that for anna.
June 20th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Art, i do not believe that they allow upright headstones at that cemetery. It might have to be inground due to weather/lawn maintenance, etc. I hope that LB is sincere w/ HKS. I know HKS motive is to show ANS the respect in death that she probably did not get from so many ppl in life(still iffy on LB). The true tragedy in all of this is that VA missed out on a lot because of her actions. Granted she wanted ANS in TX, but she needs to find a way to forget that and try to honor her daughter now(it wud go a long way towards her healing process). I felt a sense of sadness that HKS is the only adult representing ANS(no blood relatives). What happened to her Cousin Shelly?

Unless I have a change of heart I am through with all this – through with Howard too. Most of you say that you are so proud of Howard and Larry working together but I can’t see why Howard would think that Anna would be happy with him allowing Larry to help him hunt for her headstone. This is the first action from Howard that I question and have lost just a bit of trust and respect for him. I understand they should work together concerning Dannielynn but – this! I know it is of little importance looking at the big picture but I really thaught Howard had more class than to associate with Larry in every area of his life – especially when it comes to Anna. Don’t really know how to explain my feelings – it just does not make sense to me.
June 20th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Marb #11,
I think you need to realize, this is what HKS wants. He is a control freak and only thinking of the tourism this will create. He wants no blood relatives around and I can assure you, he is only tolerating LB because of the baby.
June 20th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
I thought Anna was buried on top of Daniel?? Wont they be covering Howards plot??
June 20th, 2007 at 11:43 pm
This is why we all fell in love with Anna…she was so human, absolutely flawless!!!
Well, actually I must admit, I fell in love with Howard…once I started defending him…and I fell in love with you too, Art! Don’t worry, my husband and my daughter know.
They know I love them as well.
June 21st, 2007 at 12:25 am
My daughter is in her very, early teens.
She fell in love with Daniel.
He will not be forgotten.
June 21st, 2007 at 12:41 am
Freida, I think many of us have fallen in love with Howard. We all love you too Art.
June 21st, 2007 at 1:22 am
I predicted Larry and Howard would end up working together on everything. In the last several years of her life, LB and HKS were in nearly every photo of Anna taken–those two guys spent a lot of time together. And maybe they both miss her, and share that loss and also share the same purpose–to promote Anna’s legacy and image, which would benefit Dannielynn. Plus, I’m betting HKS is giving LB free legal advice, and after Opri he probably needs it. I always had the impressin they liked each other. HKS, for whatever reason, was and is obsessed with Anna and I suspect she will continue to be the focus of his life in the years to come. I’m sure both men have feelings of guilt and regret for what happened, and do believe they will take care of Dannielynn the best, as the two people who loved her mother most. I feel the baby is in good hands.
June 21st, 2007 at 2:38 am
Today, I sat is the ‘belly of the mall’ waiting while my daughter shopped. Do I spoil her, you bet.
Does she know the truth, yep.

June 21st, 2007 at 2:57 am
Art, I am not starting anything but I want to know about the 85 pictures of Daniel. Can you ask Howard? It is something I heard and I am wondering.
June 21st, 2007 at 3:34 am
Come on, Art. You call this a story? What possible journalistic value does this story have?
It’s obvious who you’ve sided with in the Anna Nicole media circus. Do you have any other sources besides Stern and his “people”? Is it possible you are being used? Are you letting your personal feelings invade your choice of stories?
Well, I guess it is your website so… Just remember, quite a few people surrounding this case ONCE had great reputations and careers.
June 21st, 2007 at 4:16 am
Art, I recently purchased a memorial grass marker, for our parents, I suggest Internet search ‘granite’ manufacturers first. Then go from there, in searching the internet I received half the cost and the quality is the same, as the city of burial quotes. The company is 749 km or 465 mi away, but the cost included taxes and shipping! Let Howard & Larry know it pays to shop. P.S don’t use any metal(copper,brass etc.) plates, they’ll just get ripped off.
June 21st, 2007 at 4:55 am
It sounds like Howard is looking for a double grave cover. The cemetery seems to have restrictions on the type of markers they allow to be placed on the graves. I’ve only seen single, flat markers in the pictures I’ve seen from there so far. I hope he checks with them first to make sure covers are allowed, especially double ones.
In my area, a monument/cover such as this one can be ordered through a funeral home, cemetery or monument company. Regardless of where the actual order is placed, a local monument company is generally who handles everything involving the granite. For this reason, I think it’s much better to place the order through them.
A stone of this size will most likely have to be a special order. Here, the monument company would work with the various granite quarries around the country to obtain the stone in the desired size, shape and color. Once cut, the stone will either be etched on site or shipped back to the monument company for etching. If it’s done on site, it will be shipped back to the monument company upon completion. They will then coordinate the installation of the monument with the cemetery.
Howard should be able to see pictures of the monument in all it’s various stages, regardless of where the actual work is done. It’s something he might want to request at the same time the order is placed. I’d guess it would take at least eight weeks for the monument to be complete.
I’m looking forward to seeing which picture he chooses to have etched on it. They always look best on darker color granite, in my opinion. I wonder if he’ll choose black? I also wonder if he’ll have a vase hole cut in the monument so flowers can still be placed on their graves w/o having to be placed on the actual monument?
So many questions, so few answers.
Thanks for giving us another interview Art. As always, I loved reading it.
June 21st, 2007 at 7:45 am
Anne: Does anything in the whole saga make sense? NO. Young people are dead and buried and there is a baby girl left without a mother. Anna’s life was a mess and she finally crashed. – THANK GOODNESS Dannielynn has a chance to have a good life without drugs and the reckless lifestyle of her mother.
Larry loved Anna and it is a fact that Anna only planned to marry Howard because Ben Thompson would not sign Dannielynn’s birth certificate. – But Anna loved Howard in a different way. He was probably the only person she trusted and he stood by her through thick and thin.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:32 am
Howard, I’m sure whatever you and LB choose it will be beautiful. The stones with pictures are absolutely beautiful and meaningful.

Anne: this must be done only because of Danielynn(i know how u feel about LB..believe me, i know). Don’t give up just yet. LB is Danielynn’s biodad and as such he has to participate in many things ‘Anna’ from now on(u and i both know what LB did to ANS before she died(if there were no Danielynn i wud be climbing the walls just like u…hang in there).
Now Gidget: tell us how u really feel. I know a little bit more about ANS’ family history than u do(if she wanted them around they wud have been). ANS had a visceral reaction whenever her family or TX was mentioned(seen it for myself…one exception was Cousin Shelly). Trust me, part of ANS wish was to be remembered as an icon like MM,so if tourist come to honor her,GREAT. BRAVO,HKS, for granting her yet another wish. Both men are wising up to the fact that they are gonna need each other. ALL PROCEEDS TO DANIELYNN.
June 21st, 2007 at 10:51 am
#13, Anne,
I can feel you in some of the things you’re saying, but let’s hold on and keep the faith. I believe Howard knows very well what he’s doing. Let’s trust his judgment. Dannielynn is so very important to him and I believe everything he’s doing is for her. I also believe he has limits. I’m glad I can’t say what I’d really like to say about LB, because Art would zap the whole thing out. LOL
I hope one day I will be able to see the maturity and a pure heart in Lary and not just wanting the lime light. But I am trusting Howard to handle this for Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn.
June 21st, 2007 at 10:54 am
You do a great job following the milestones of this story. Most media are not anymore, and there are still so many people out there who want to continue watching this story unfold. It is such a heart touching one. — I am also confused about the burial plots in the Bahamas. Any news on the inquest into Daniel’s death. I have also been curious about Daniel’s funeral. Did Anna want it to be private? I have never seen or heard anything about it.
June 21st, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Art,
Could you explain to me why so many people HATE Howard.
And why do they attack anyone (yourself included) who has anything possitive to say about him. I have never seen so much hate about a person they do not know.
They really do not know anything about him. I just don’t get it. I am happy that Howard and Larry are working together in the best interest of the baby. I really enjoy reading you articles
June 21st, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Well I hate to throw a wrench into this hug fest here but I have to say that before I spent thousands of dollars on a stone I’d be picking up the phone and calling Danny’s father who btw lives in Texas in the good ole US of A and ask him was he still intending to have HIS child brought back to the United States. Just one of those little details that might get overlooked in this rush to glorify Anna and Danny in granite.
Which makes me wonder why Billy Smith wasn’t notified or consulted about arrangements by Anna when Danny died. I remember HKS saying that Anna wanted him to call Billy when Danny died but poor inept HKS couldn’t find a phone number for him. Even Anna realized that the right thing to do would be to tell Billy his son was dead. How horrible for Billy Smith and Virgie to hear the news in the media.
Swamp property? Anyone?
June 21st, 2007 at 1:18 pm
I think you need to realize, this is what HKS wants. He is a control freak and only thinking of the tourism this will create. He wants no blood relatives around and I can assure you, he is only tolerating LB because of the baby.
______
Ha! When there was no marker on the graves people thought it was so disgraceful and ANS’s sister even went on TV and said what a shame it was and a disservice to Anna since she wanted to be remembered and now she’s in an unmarked grave. So, now we learn that HKS is getting a beautiful headstone befitting her stature…something that is a beautiful remembrance of Anna and Daniel and of course people are saying he’s doing it for profit.
Have you ever heard the saying, “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t”? Some people are so determined to make Howard the bad guy, that no matter what he does, someone will find fault.
Stay strong, Howard. You have a lot of support from the people who believe in you. I hope you know that.
June 21st, 2007 at 1:39 pm
Art I am so glad to see that HKS has been able to see and hold Dannilynn and the two men could work together for the good of the baby.#13 Anne I don’t think HKS could do this alone Dannilynn is the next of kin and I believe LB as her guardian has to have a say in this matter.#14 Gidget why would HKS want tourist there they have been keeping people out sa far as I have read???
June 21st, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Anne
I understand your concerns but this does have everything to do with Anna and the both of them working together. Larry is Dannielynn’s father. Like it or not. Because of that he has a place in remembering Anna and yes, in picking out a memorial stone with Howard. Larry loved Anna in his own way just as Howard did. If Anna had lived there is no telling what would have happened in the future with Larry. His concern was being involved with his daughters life, her concern was him taking her away. Maybe things would have worked out between the two of them atleast to the point of both of them raising Dannielynn and working together to ensure she had a good life. Please trust that Howard is a smart man and knows what and who he is allowing in his life. His main goal now, besides upholding Anna’s memory, is being involved in some way in Dannielynn’s life. I believe he will do whatever he feels is necessary to make sure that isn’t compromised.
Trust him. Don’t give up on him just yet. God knows he needs all the support he can get from everyone he can get it from. Questioning him now is the same as questioning his true feelings and intentions when it comes to Anna.
Keep the faith for a little while longer.
June 21st, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Anne
I can understand where you are coming from. Because while Anna was alive she told the world how she felt about Larry. But how do we know if Anna was still alive that sooner or later, her and larry would have put their differences behind them and moved on to the future? And besides, Anna is in heaven, she’s no longer mad at all the people she was once mad at. In heaven, you do not carry over your feelings of anger or pain.

June 21st, 2007 at 2:27 pm
It seems to me that Howard is the ONLY one grieving for Anna. Larry is enjoying his “rock star” new image, her Mother is fighting for money that isn’t hers, her half sister is wrting a book and having an Anna makeover to try and be like the sister who hardly knew her. After viewing tapes of Anna being interviewed from the past it’s amazing she survived as long as she did with a so called family she was born into. Has anyone else wondered why Virgie didn’t hop a plane to go to Anna when Daniel passed away as she did when she heard about Anna’s death? Supposedly Virgie “raised” Daniel but only showed “grief” in front of cameras for interviews downing Anna at a time when Anna needed her Mother. Who is responsible for Anna’s death other than Anna? Possibly her Mother who only made Anna’s pain of losing Daniel worse by her false comments? Thank God for Howard. Bless his heart not only has he NOT had time to grieve but has to put up with all of the ones who want their 15 minutes of fame riding on the woman he loved tragic death. Atleast Howard is doing the proper steps one takes when you lose someone you love. Would Virgie be able to pay for Anna’s funeral, burial, etc. that would entail if she moved Anna and Daniel’s bodies to Texas? I think not! Would LB be in Dannielynn’s life IF Anna was alive? It’s sickening to see someone become famous just because he is the biological father of an innocent baby. Howard knew Anna better than anyone, only Howard should be making decisions.
June 21st, 2007 at 2:52 pm
I like the picture of Anna and Daniel on the beach better. They both really look happy.
June 21st, 2007 at 3:33 pm
Larry should pay his Lawyer Bill and Haward should pitch in. It’s Howard and Anna’s fault Larry had to hire that Opra. Pay your bill first you lying con men before you buy some obnoxious white trash gravestone.
I hope Virggie gets the baby. Larry is a disgrace!
June 21st, 2007 at 3:51 pm
I don’t see what Larry has to do with a monument for Anna and Daniel at their gravesite. It isn’t as though Larry ever loved Anna in the first place. Sure, he can respect her NOW as the deceased mother of his child and attempt to act in Dannielynn’s best interest. But the stone for Anna’s and Daniel’s grave??? Seems a bit much to me, but I will give Howard the benefit of the doubt on this one. He has good judgment. It was EXCELLENT judgment to take mementoies of Anna out of the home in Studio City and store them. They belong to him for now. I found the entire moving day story to be sad and the Father’s Day story about Larry and DL posing for OK! to be a bit much also. Enough with these posed baby pics and Larry. As a photorapher, himself, Larry is equipped to snap some good wholesome non-posed baby pix–privately, I might add–and stick them inside a photo album of baby growing up. Make some duplicates for those who want them and forget that OK! British mag.
June 21st, 2007 at 4:05 pm
Larry is Dannielynns Guardian..Of course he is putting in input for the stones on her behalf. Sounds right to me…
these guys aren’t exactly having ‘fun’ together…moving, legal mumbo jumbo, headstone shopping….doesn’t sound like a good time to me.
June 21st, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Anne said:”….but I can’t see why Howard would think that Anna would be happy with him allowing Larry to help him hunt for her headstone…”
Anna was afraid that Larry would take her daughter from HER at that time! Anna is gone now. I think on “the other side” we leave the petty things of life behind and only want what is best for our loved ones. I believe Anna wants what is best for Dannilynn. What could be better than the man she trusted most and the father of her baby working together for the best for Dannilynn? The past is now sadly the past. Let us all let the past go too when we think of this sad case and only wish the best for Dannilynn and all of her BIG FAMILY who truly loves her and wants the best for her. If we have a beef to pick – let us argue against those who would truly exploit Dannilynn!
Thanks again, as always Art!

Gidget said:”I think you need to realize, this is what HKS wants. He is a control freak and only thinking of the tourism this will create. He wants no blood relatives around and I can assure you, he is only tolerating LB because of the baby.”
Aw Gidget, let it go! Even you have got to admit that HKS has been the LAST person in the sad thing to take advantage of Dannilynn! He has been the most quiet in this whole affair! He has not done the “media” things that vergie has done, nor any of her blood relatives that have tried to market themselves for the almighty dollar! He has only tried to carry out Anna’s wishes to the best of his ability! He fought to get her buried beside DAniel, he is fighting to get Horizons for DANNILYNN! He recognized that Anna’s fear of Larry was that Larry would try to take Dannilynn away from HER – she is gone now and Larry is the person who should legally have custody of Dannilynn. He has not fought that – and before you say that he fought custody let me remind you that a person can not just hand a baby over to someone else – it must be recognized through the right court system! California (unlike Opri said) was not the place to award custody; the Bahamas was!
June 21st, 2007 at 6:29 pm
#13 Anne:
Larry represents Anna’s interests through Dannielynn,he is helping Howard because they are mature men and trying to do what is best all around. Holding each other responsible for any thing serves no purpose would only cause tension and possibly cause a rift that could not be repaired. They are going to have enough to deal with,hopefully together it will be easier.
June 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pm
larry is very generous in letting howard help with the head stone. or any other personal thing. he is not the one to agree or not agree, when it comes to anna or dannielynn. larry is a real novice at this type of thing. so the help is appreicated i am sure. but let up on ghes howard the holy angel crap. that he is NOT
June 21st, 2007 at 7:10 pm
#14 Gidget:
Howard would not be aloud to lay a stone for tourists, the Bahamian’s just reopened the grave yard, it was closed because they do not want tourists around. Other families have loved ones buried there and tourists were not showing proper respect. I don’t think Howard is the type to hold a grudge. I think he is genuine when comes to Larry.

June 21st, 2007 at 7:30 pm
CatS Says #44 and the others commenting on my comments. I refuse to be brainwashed into thinking Howard has clean hands or his sister. Obviously people seem to forget how they trashed her mother, (no respect) and try to cover up Anna’s drug use and Howards hand in that. I think Larry is a fool for selling out to HKS. Further more, take the time to read the interview of Virgie with Greta Van Susteren on Fox. Why does everyone talk about her wanting money when Howard is doing all of the conning and coniving and living off of Anna and Daniels’ death. Give me a break people and learn and listen about drug and alcohol addiction. There was other people in Anna’s life other than the ones who Howard approved of. And they told their side of it. Two young people do not just die from drug overdose within 5 months of each other. I watched the 2 hour special on E concerning Anna, and it had Howard K Stern written all over it. His true colors come out everytime I see him, and what I see is not nice.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:13 pm
Some people have mentioned Daniels father Billy Smith. From what I understand he had no contact at all with Anna and Daniel. When Anna was married to J Howard,wasn’t he supposed to adopt Daniel, Billy Smith would have to sign away his parental rights. Does anyone have any info on that.
Sorry Art I seem to be wandering away from the topic at hand.
Thank you Art for keeping us informed. I have a feeling Howards lawyer put the fear of God into a few people, very quiet on most fronts.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:32 pm
to YouKnow 6-21 12:45 pm…dont know much Do Ya!! I have seen interview w/ Daniel’s paternal aunt(she was asked by ANS but cud not make it to Daniel’s funeral…her words). So, Daniel’s father’s side was contacted after LKL. Also, I remember in FLA w/ Judge ‘Sideshow’ Seidlin, when Daniel’s father was on the phone and O’Q asked him about where he thought that ANS wud want to be and he said he thought that she shud be beside her son in the Bahamas (that was a courtroom drama moment better than Perry Mason when that blew up in VA’s attorneys’ faces considering it was their witness). Daniel’s father request now is financed by VA’s attorney’s(as they say in the south…that dog wont hunt). It is a ruse(he had not seen Daniel since he was about 2 yrs old..even when the child was at VA’s home close by). I find it appalling that someone can come down the line and overrule u as to where u want to be buried; and later on someone can overrule u as to where u buried a loved one(any objections shud have been made at or near the time of Daniel’s burial…not now or ever). That kind of precedent opens a can of worms(i do realize it is done in certain exceptional cases..imo, this is not one).
June 21st, 2007 at 8:47 pm
OMG Betty 6/21 3:33 pm, if VA ever gets custody of that baby girl, i will pay her way at McDonalds for a year. Are u kidding? With VA’s history/poor health/age, etc,etc,etc that will not happen. Any judge that does this will be risking(i dont mean the ‘M’ word) the child’s life as far as I am concerned. NOOOOOOOOOO, triple times no way shud VA get custody. Ppl have forgotten that LB has other family members that wud be in line before VA. If u are not familiar, do a little research on Virgie Tabers/Hart.Wud comment on the rest on your diatribe, but it is just not worth it.

To Betty 6/21 3:33 pm, research Virgie Tabers/Hogan/Hart/…Arthur. I forgot some of her married names(i think there is at least 4-5 so far). She shud get only video cam visits (if at all).

I’m sure that Howard is allowing Larry to take part in this
because Larry was appointed to be DL Guardian…
DL is to young to make decisions now. so Larry is stepping in for her…after all she is her Mother… I feel if she was old enough.she would be the one,making the final decision,…as of now Larry has to step in.
Remember Howard is a Lawyer..and knows the Law,…. IMHO
I’m happy to see them work together for this little girl …Lord know she is going to need both of them
to help her..as she gets older and starts reading all this Garabge that people are posting about her Mom…
I just Pray that God gives her strength,to deal with all this…((((Hugs For Howard)))) for being the kind man he is…Again …IMO…

Teri 22- Considering Larry Birkhead’s people once e-mailed Art to set the record straight
Linda 25-
Anna Nicole Smith “crashed” because her son died.
Although I am starting to warm up to Larry and I am deeply grateful he seems to be letting Howard be a part of Dannielynn’s life, it is not lost on me at all that Larry doesn’t seem to be able to get enough of the cameras whereas Howard AVOIDS the camera. Especially when Dannielynn is in his arms.
And what on earth does GBT not signing the birth certificate have ANYTHING to do with Anna and Howard’s marriage or future marriage??? (that doesn’t make Any sense)
First of all, you can’t believe a WORD that comes out of those peoples mouths. (no need to recap on all the shady things they’ve done. we all know) So Did anna ask GBT to sign the birth certificate?? its Possible. but sense its coming out of their mouths, we literally don’t have to believe them. Anna’s friends said that after Daniel died she needed someone to replace him as her rock. That rock was Howard. Anna’s friends said that Anna needed to know she had someone that would be with her for the rest of her life
And if they where gonna get married simply because of the baby, don’t you think they would have made it legally binding??
Alice 31-
I think the hatred towards Howard came from a multitude of things: raw dumb luck (him being around at both Anna’s and Daniel’s death), evil people (The Shelleys and Hattens) the stupidass lazy media, and frankly, his own actions a bit. I remember the media didn’t Really start to turn on him until the ET interview right after Anna’s death. Although they where WRONG, they accused him of getting rich of Anna Nicole. I have often wondered if he has regretted that interview.(And thats also why I think that Larry is staring to play with fire a little bit with all this media attention he seems to be seeking. If there is anything the media likes more than to build some one up, its to tare them down.) And of course, the fact that he didn’t want to get the DNA test done didn’t help out his cause much. But if it is true WHY Howard didn’t want to get it done. (According to Mr. Harris, he wanted to get it done all along but wanted to do it in private to keep Dannielynn safe from “mommie dearest”) then my respect for Howard K. Stern went up even more!
Also, Art himself once said that he thinks that there could be a little bit of anti-Semitism behind all the hate. And unfortunately, I had to agree with him a bit because I remember thinking that myself a little bit in the back of my mind.
YouKnowMe 32-
Now that both Howard and Larry have been officially appointed as executor of her estate and guardian of her estate and they seem to be working well together, Billy Smith has all but no chance in making that happen. But lets run with this for a moment. Billy Smith would only have say over his son and none what so ever over his ex-wife, Anna Nicole Smith. So that would mean that Daniel would be buried in Texas and since he wouldn’t have any authority over Anna, she would still be in the Bahamas. WOW. If we all thought the media was brutal on Howard!… So unless he wants to risk dragging his name and Virgie Arthur’s's family name through… the sewer!, I seriously doubt we will be hearing from him again.
And if you’re talking about Howard asking Billy Smith to call in while he was on Larry King LIVE, do I really even have to tell you this??..Howard wasn’t about to give his phone number out on national television…DUH! (I didn’t say that last time cause I didn’t think I actually had to!!! Apparently I was wrong!)
Kate 33-
I’m starting to come to the conclusion that it literally doesn’t matter what you say. You can have all the facts in the world at your fingers tips, the people who hate Howard are going to hate Howard. It doesn’t matter that the Fla. police found that he did nothing wrong, or that Anna’s will held up naming him the executor or that Larry Birkhead trusts him enough to let him be with his daughter again. In their world Howard K. Stern is the bad guy and that’s that.
14-
He is a control freak and only thinking of the tourism this will create?!!… considering only Howard, Larry, Dannielynn (and Virgi Arthur for some reason!) are the only people allowed to go visit Anna’s grave and considering the cemetery is no longer open to the public. That statement does make too much sense does it?
46- although they may not have been legally married, under the eyes of GOD Howard is Anna’s husband. That’s a whole hell of a lot stronger than any legal vow will ever be.

Everyone should go read the lyrics for Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Solid as a Rock.’
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:35 am
I am happy for the gravestone and it will be beautiful but one thing puzzles me about it. I thought Howard and company did not want anyone to know where her site was. This will lead people to her site. The bahamian people are no longer letting people out there. Like when virgie could not find it because Anna did not want anyone too. Just thinking too much again. LOL
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:52 am
HWMarron 6/22 12:44 am-KUDOS to u, my work here is done.. LOL, i share your sentiments of LB the rising rock star. He needs a reality check. The paparazzi’s that he used to hang around/work with, etc are on the other side of that camera now. They will do to him like they do to every other celeb wanna-be. I call it the Venus-Fly-Trap(suck him in w/ sweet promises and then eat him alive). He is being setup bigtime by the tabloids. He cannot return to phojournalism again. MY guess, is they might make it so freaking difficult for him, that he might just be living in the Horizons home in the Bahamas before Danielynn grows up. Also, imo many celebs in Hollywood are really not that crazy about him(they view the barrage on ANS as an affront to them…plus his legal battle against at least 2 celebs before ANS did not help either. There is a picture of him taken w/ Pamela Anderson(in January i believe) that gives me this impression. Pamela’s body language and facial expressions confirmed this for me.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:27 am
Also, Art, how can i get a hug icon inserted here(Gidget 6/21 7:30pm needs 1..bless her heart). U continue to fight the good fight for VA/O’Q because they appreciate u immensely. I am not one who thought VA was in for the money persay. I have and will continue to believe that she is a control freak/ maybe off-balanced/ whacked/ proned to erratic behavior and worthy of disbelief. I do not believe for a NY minute that VA/Opri/O’Q or the media believes that HKS killed anyone no matter what is said by them publicly. VA convinced me that she did not even believe her own media spin when she walked out of court arm-in-arm w/ the alleged murderer and when she wanted Danielyn to stay in Bahamas 1 more month w/ the alleged murderer instead of LB. She is full of it. Also, Opri, from what we hear, was all over Howard at the funeral(plus that shoulder pat on tv…hmmmm). Opri and VA (2 exs’ of LB…dont ask me to explain) are control addicts. Maybe VA will send u one of her lovely pens or better yet the cross she flashed the media in the Bahamas(where she said something to the effect of ‘make sure you get a shot of this’ while holding it up..heard it myself). There is another lady who posts here. Her name escapes me for a moment(maybe the 2 of them can launch their own Investigations). Art, I believe that GVS has done a great disservice to the legal profession( many of these ‘suspicions’ that some of these whackjobs are coming up w/ was planted in their brains by her when she had Dr Perper on her show). She wud say things like ‘I’m suspicious’. And the same idiotic stuff that GVS&guests were saying have been repeated almost verbatim by these kool-aid drinkers ever since.
June 22nd, 2007 at 7:16 am
I am really glad that Larry and Howard are working together to memorialize Anna and Daniel – I know she would be proud! Does anyone have any mailing addresses for Howard and larry for Cards/letters of condolence? That’s just something I feel very strongly about and would really like to do! Thanks! Sandra
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:57 am
I hope Howard finds the marker he’s lookin for. (I mean Larry and Howard, my bad). I’m sure it will be beautiful.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:00 am
I came to this site to find support for Howard K. Stern, I went to other sites and found the same support. However some of those sites seem to being doing the same thing I was up against from the beginning. Adding their own emotions into this case. I was following them down the same path, being emotionally involved with this story. I actually turn on the man I came here to stand up for. I have learned a lot in the process about myself about man kind.
I now realize that life is not perfect, none of us lead a perfect life, and as my husband said, Howard has to have his reasons for what he does.
I want to say I have come full circle, my heart feels good, I support all the players in this story. I pray for the best life possible for all of them and as Howard said to give Dannielynn the life her mother wanted for her. All the things Anna did not have as a child, Dannielynn will have.
For those who turn on Howard, I predict it will not last, this is a man once you love you can not turn on him.

You say take the time and read the interview with Virgie and Greta.
Maybe you should take the time and watch the court case and see how many times Virgie was caught up in her own lies and most of those lies concern money.
You say what you see of Howard is not nice, maybe you should take the time and learn more about Virgie before you spout off any more.
If you knew anything about drug addicts or alcohol abuse you would know you can only do so much to help and the rest is up to the addict,sorry but you can’t make an adult do anything they don’t want to do,Try reading up on it a bit more and you will see, better yet go to a few alanon classes and you will learn alot.
Why should anyone show Virgie any repect she certainly didn’t show her dead daughter any respect. GIVE ME A BREAK! That is the poorest excuse for a mother I have ever seen
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:01 pm
HW Marron: I am glad you are warming up to Larry because I have already warmed up to Howard. However, your comment about Howard avoiding the camera is belied by the fact that Howard was on ET every day at the height of the saga….. and Dannielynn was, too. – But as I have posted many times, since the media is making a fortune from the story, the actual subjects have every right to make money, too, since the story is THEIRS.
Anna sent an email to Thompson and demanded a DNA test and child supprt because she said he was the father. When that fell through (vasectomy), she said in an email that she would marry Howard and then he could be Dannielynn’s father. Sort of by default.
In the eyes of God? I don’t think anyone knows how God sees relationships. In some faiths, the husband would be the first person she ever slept with. In others it would be the first person whe was married to. So who knows?
No, Howard is not the least concerned about tourism in the Bahamas! He truly loved Anna and Daniel, to the extreme of wanting to stay in the Bahamas to near them. I wish they would petition the Bahamas to move both bodies to Calif. so Howard could have a real life near Dannielynn. – Maybe they will do that.
I also think Larry will need to find a job. It is apparent that he cannot be a photog again because of his celebrity, so he needs to get a real job. Being the guardian of Dannielynn is not a job and people will lose respect for him if he isn’t actually employed. – I have been a major supporter but I expect him to work now.
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Lynda, Billy refused to have someone else adopt his son. I find it crazy that Stern does not consult with the family. I guess he is afraid he might lose some money! Any decent human being would consult with the family. Stern had his plan to fool the American public that Anna’s family is garbage and therefore have no rights to either Daniel or Anna.We will see.
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
i love it that they are working together. howard you will always be the strongest person in that baby life. ANNA WANTED YOU TO BE THE DADDY ND YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:00 pm
SHE IS ONE LUCKY BABY. AND ANNA WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF HOWARD…….. SHE IS WONDERFUL. PEOPLE WHO TALK BAD ABOUT HIM NEED TO HAVE THEIR HEADS CHECKED
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Art, does Howard know there are many of us who want to hear from him? Want him to come out and play again? Want best for him? Understand he is a good man, only human with all that goes along with being such?
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm
I also would like to say how much I admire Larry Birkhead, he could have taken this in a whole other direction, instead he choose compassion and forgiveness, shows great leadership and I will admire him for his sense of doing the right thing. Larry I so misjudged you, you are a gentlemen with honor, integrity, I can see what Anna saw in both the men in her life, she most certainly knew how to pick them
Much love to you, Dannielynn and Uncle Howard.
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:07 pm
HOWARD I DID THE SAME THING I ORDERED MY STONE FROM A PLACE IN BREWERTON,NY 13029.. OCONNORS. ITS A LARGE BLACK STONE(STONE FROM AFRICA)ALL SMOOTH AND IT SHINES AND THE BASE IS GRAY. WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE UGLY. BUT IT REALLY MAKES THE HEAD STONE POP. MINE IS ENGRAVED ( FROM THE BIBLE REVLATION 20AND 21) THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS THE RIVER OF LIFE HAS MY HUSBAND ON A HARLEY THAT HE ALWAYS WANTED WITH ME ON THE BACK. SHE MADE IT LOOK LIKE WE STOP FAST AND THE WATER SPLASHED UP. I WANTED IT IN COLOR BUT COLOR FADES AWAY. BUT ITS BEAUTFUL IT TOOK LIKE 6 MONTHS TO GET DONE AND THE GIRL THAT DID IT DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

HOWARD ONLY LISTEN TO POSITIVE LET THE NEGATIVE ONES… KISS YOUR BUTT O C K S!!!!!! ITS REALLY NONE OF THERE CONCERN IS IT NOW ????????//
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Can any one tell me what happen on Jane Devin site? It seems like it became about them and Howard got lost in the mix. I might have lost my way for a day or two but I support you HKS. I am reading the articles but do not understand what happen…two fools, who are the two fools? I was asked to leave so I can not ask there but was connect to them thru this site. What does being a media whore have to do with Howard and his lost? What does Jane’s hurt have to do with Howard’s lost? How can we even think about it after all he has been through? I am sorry Jane is hurt about some thing with in the support group but we came together for one purpose to support a man who needed us, I ask we keep focused on our duty. It is getting to political, get over your hurt, ppl make mistakes forgive and remember what we came together for.
thank you, Mary S.
June 23rd, 2007 at 2:25 pm
To all the people that continue to blast Howard and say mean things about him, just go to another site or better still, create your own and stay away from this one. It is obvious you are not interested in the facts.
June 23rd, 2007 at 3:14 pm
I think it’s great that Howard and Larry are getting Anna and Daniel a beautiful gravestone with them pictured together. I’m sure that both of them would approve. I, like some others, feel a little uneasy about Howard’s and Larry’s alliance. It may be a partnership born of necessity and little more. It was disconcerting to see Larry parade Dannielynn around in the media numerous times in the last week or so and to appear yet again in an OK spread. I find this to be hypocritical on Larry’s part since he publicly condemned Anna and Howard for doing the same.
Why is it we know so little about Larry? No friends have ever come forward to talk about him. Every interview he does is a controlled puff piece in which he sticks to the same script. The few things that have come out about him have been negative and then denied or ignored. The only time he has been in an uncontrolled situation was when Krista Barth cross-examined him. During that cross he was quick and emphatic to tell her that Dannielynn’s money was HIS money, and that was before the DNA results. Anna herself said he was only after fame and money. Just as what she had said about Virgie turned out to be true, so has what she said about Larry has turned out to be true as well.
June 23rd, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Any person that says Virgie should get that child is off their rocker bar none. Good job on the sites Butterfly and Sheppie. I can’t wait to see the final stone ready for the grave. If Billy Smith was so worried about Daniel he should have tried to pay attention to the child for once in his life. If Virgie was so worried about her daughter she should have been what a mother should be. If Donna Hogan cared about Anna she would keep her nasty mouth shut. The only reason Mommy dearest wanted Anna buried in Texas was so whenever she needed fast cash she would slump her fat ass over Anna’s grave and call Splash “news”. HKS is the only one who cared for Anna in her life through anything and everything. We miss you Anna.
June 23rd, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Art , I found this on tmz. I would like to know what you think .All right then lets discuss what we do know for a FACT
We can discuss the FACTS, all day long.
So if I’m Howard K. Stern and I know that all this EVIDENCE is out there for any yahoo like me and you to look at; what would I do?
I’m innocent folks, remember?
I’d release my cell phone records to the first credible investigative journalist I could find
I’d release the detailed bill from the Hard Rock Hotel to the same journalist
I’d tell Moe, Taz and anyone else to give copies of their cell phone records to the same journalist
Because those records would PROVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that everyone involved did nothing wrong and everything right.
That’s what I’d do
That’s what you would do
That’s would any INNOCENT person would do
Then we would all line up and take a lie detector test and proclaim to the world that we are innocent and we are willing and eager to do whatever it takes to clear our “good name”.
CHERI:
Gosh, if you’d been following the case beyond TMZ, you’d know investigators, including Dr. Perper, say–and have told me–Stern and others fully cooperated with police–and did what you question above. In fact, if you had been digging a bit beyond TMZ, you’d know that he also gave them full reign to examine the laptops and hard drives Ford Shelley removed from Horizons (and copied), hinting at dark deeds Anna feared would be perpetrated on her., that belonged to ANS, but never revealed any such fears or wrong-doing.
Much of the so called facts you included did not have a source, except TMZ, which is not always fact-checked, so if you’d like to resubmit with the original source, and not some second hand blog entry, so I can see where it actually came from, I’ll reconsider posting, but when you quote a bad source, it doesn’t make your so called facts factual.
Maybe in blogdreamland, but not here.
But I do appreciate all your hard work. Mighty impressive bundle of Cliff notes you assembled. Just be glad you didn’t get a grade.

June 23rd, 2007 at 9:29 pm
Larry is not “allowing” Howard to purchase a headstone for Anna. Anna left Howard as the executor of her estate and affairs in the will that has just been entered into probate.
I give Larry and Howard a lot of credit for putting the past behind them and moving forward together to honor Anna, handle her image and raise her daughter.
June 23rd, 2007 at 11:24 pm
What? My last post didn’t fit with the game plan on this board? too good huh couldn’t argue with it huh Well if you’re gonna moderate my posts then please do the same with the right hand of god otherwise known as HW Marron. Thanks
June 23rd, 2007 at 11:47 pm
I think that the picture above (if that is the one chosen) is not a great one. First, she is wearing sunglasses which covers a lot of her face/Daniel doesn’t look like he wanted to take a picture that day/ too many distracting items around them. They should try to get a clearer one where they both are facing forward and smiling. If there are none, maybe they cud use 2 separate pictures of each and maybe splice them together as one(maybe Daniel’s school/ ANS modelling days pictures if there are no recent ones.

Bonnie #62,
What a nasty B—h you are, surely you aren’t the so-called Bonnie related to HKS who is living off of Anna and Daniel? I think you are disgusting and disrespectful to all. What made you such a B—-h? Howard loved Anna so much, he kept everyone from her who really cared and now they are dead. So keep your Nasty lipsticked mouth to yourself. Wouldn’t want you to lose your income so you can continue to live in Beverly Hills. Marb #59, I do not need a hug Icon, obviously you are related to Bonnie. I deal with reality, not garbage.
June 24th, 2007 at 2:47 am
Peggy, Peggy, Peggy,
Howard didn’t have to “fool” the American public that Anna’s family was trash. Virgie showed us that, all by herself, and then some.
June 24th, 2007 at 2:59 am
Bonnie,
You said it the best lol.
June 24th, 2007 at 8:06 am
I would like to see this etched in stone….
Howard’s Eulogy for Anna
“The truth, there’s only one truth, and it’s not what people say in court, even if those people are your blood relatives,” said Howard. “It’s not what people who claim to be your friends say to the media. … The truth is what your life … what you touch, what you feel, what you see with your own eyes, what you observe for yourself. I know the truth about Anna. …
“No one could give Anna the credit she deserved. It doesn’t matter what anyone says. We know the truth. … People questioned whether she was bright, she didn’t graduate from high school… I could guarantee you, Anna was smarter than I am. She became a household name. [She was one] of the most famous people in the world. It didn’t happen by accident, it wasn’t managers, lawyers, agents, it wasn’t me, it was all her. …
“Anna was an entertainer, a true entertainer. It didn’t matter if she was acting just with her friends, she knew what people wanted and she gave people what they want. … It didn’t matter where we were or who was there — actors, musicians, politicians — everybody’s focus was on Anna. She was the center of attention, it wasn’t even close. …
“MARILYN MONROE was her idol, [and] I’ll bet you if they lived at the same time, and they met, Marilyn would be flocking to Anna. It’s not disrespect to Marilyn … it’s just that Anna was that special.
“When Anna was alive it was one thing, but it was wrong for people to portray Anna the way they did when she passed away … people who claim to be friends, her lawyer and even the judge … if these people have decency, or dignity, or any concern for Anna or DANNIELYNN, they wouldn’t have done it … it was disrespectful, but not the truth that I know, not the truth that I know. …
“She controlled her life. Her opinions were her opinions, and her judgment wasn’t clouded by anything, she was wonderful and she was kind. To me she was perfect. … She lived her life in a fishbowl and fought with one of the richest men in the world, all the way to the Supreme Court, and she was publicly ridiculed every day. … The only thing she couldn’t overcome was the death of her son, DANIEL, who was the world to her. And I quote [from Anna's eulogy for Daniel], ‘You were my rock, the only one that kept me solid. … You were always afraid of dying, and I never believed you, and now you’re gone. It’s so hard to think of you … my heart is empty, I will come home to you.’
“From the day that Daniel passed, she had nightmares that Daniel was lost and he didn’t know what to do. … Well, Anna, today you are going home to Daniel to the Bahamas and in heaven. I understand how you felt when Daniel died because you were my rock, and now my heart is empty. I wish God took me instead. … When we were together, it didn’t matter what people said, nothing mattered because we knew the truth. … Sometimes it felt like it was us against the world. I can’t believe that you’re gone and you’re not here to protect anyone, and honestly, sometimes I don’t know how I’m gonna go on, but I know that my work isn’t done. I still have to protect you, I have to protect your wishes, I have to protect your name, and most of all I have to protect Dannielynn, and I promise you, as long as I’m still breathing, I will, no matter who comes at me.
“You and I, we know the truth. We lived it, and that’s all that matters. When my work is done, I promise you, I will come home to you again, both you and Daniel. I love you.”
June 24th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Art , Do you think nobody wants facts ?
Stern confessed to the blatantly unethical, fraudulent and unauthorized use of confidential financial documents which were protected by a known, legally binding confidentiality agreement and which Stern pilfered from the courtroom to use in another case. ”
…………imo
Kerry–
when you try to pass on total false info you think is true because you picked it up somewhere else that has made it up and is still trying to spin it as gospel, and now clutch it to your chest like a zealot, well, that’s a red flag to me to delete anything you write because you have not done your homework.
Get an opinion, but base it on fact. Go read up on what went on the Texas courtroom. If you followed what really happened, you’d know the judge did accuse Stern of taking some documents off a table in court that were supposed to be marked confidential –but were not–by Pierce Marshal’s lawyers. Judge got the info from Marshall’s lawyers, accepted it as gospel, and accused Stern, who denied it and refused to admit it was true, because he knew the real inadvertant culprit. Regardless, it was passed on to the bar in Ca., where Stern holds his license. He would have lost it had it been true, and they kicked it back to Texas since there were witnesses who backed Stern. In his own way, Judge Wood later apologized. But websites for Team Marshall still try to sell the bogus Texas Twist to the story, and people like you take it as gospel because they don’t know where else to go to check. –Art
June 24th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Linda
I’m not for a moment saying that e-mail doesn’t exist. I’m saying that, MUCH to my dismay, I have been obsessed with this whole dumb saga sense it started and I haven’t seen any e-mail like that. [I remember seeing a sworn avd. by one of the Shelley woman saying that Anna told her she was never "with" Howard- but once again, consider the source. And I remember reading an e-mail apparently from Anna sent to one of the Shelley women saying she was afraid Larry was the father.]
But lets say that was true: Anna sent an e-mail saying that she would marry Howard and make him the father by default. The ONLY possible reason why I think she would do that, or think she could do that, would be because of the different types of parental laws of the Bahamas and husband’s rights would supercede father’s rights. Otherwise, marriage shmarriage, the biofather is still the biofather. (I just don’t know how it works in the Bahamas)
But I honestly think that their marriage had nothing to do with Dannielynn and Everything to do with Daniel. In other words, if Daniel didn’t die, would have they have gotten married someday? Possibly. But certainly not while the Marshal case was still pending and Howard was working for Anna in an official capacity
I totally agree with you when you said that they should move to Anna and Daniel to CA.. In my opinion, It’s not healthy for Howard to essentially be standing vigil by them. (and sometimes it worries me) I think that Howard and Larry need to have a sit down, decided it would be best to sell the Horizons, put the money into Dannielynn’s trust, have Anna and Daniel moved back to LA. And Howard move back to LA..And after an appropriate amount of time mourning, start working again (he’s licenced to practice law in CA., not the Bahamas)
That way he can be near Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn and the rest of his family. And Dannielynn- and Larry, will be able to see her mom and brother anytime.
And Larry would have a free babysitter when ever he needed one. (Somehow I don’t think Howard would mind baby siting Dannielynn for free)
But that would make sense so it will never happen.
June 24th, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Maryst:
I am not being mean; in the past I have been annoyed and replied unkindly upon reading your comments in other sites. I sincerely believe that you are confused and your low self-esteem causes you great pain. Please seek counseling for your own peace of mind.
You were not booted out of Jane’s site. It hurt your feelings that others were not willing to hear your constant siding with Larry and you seem to have changed the way you post. I think you are trying to make everyone happy by changing sides and assuring people that you are supportive of all those involved in Dannielynn’s life. Your belief is your belief. Take whomever’s side you want but remember that you cannot change other people’s minds. It is your opinion; voice it and be satisfied. Others are also firm believers of what they have chosen to believe and it will remain that way.
June 24th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
I agree that Howard shouldnt invlove the family in this case. They didnt want anything to do with her when she was alive except hit her up for some money. But now that she’s gone, they think they deserve something whether it be money or input. NOT! Even though Anna has now let go of her anger and is in a happy place, doesnt mean these people should get a free ride and forget how they done her in.
Maryst, I understand your a confussed person, but asking about someone elses blog on Art’s site, is a little bit uncalled for. You say that you are sorry that Jane got hurt, but your also sounding like we should go over there and ask her, “why are you making this out to be you and not Howard?” Well for one, that is her site, she can talk about her or anyone else she feels the need to. If you actually looked around, there are other articles. Granted most of them are about the Anna saga, but again, it’s her site, you or anyone else shouldnt tell her, her writing shouldnt be about her. The whole world does not revolve around Howard.

66 Beloved where do you get it that Howard was married in God’s eyes. They were living in sin in God’s eyes if they were having relations. It was not a minister that did the so called marriage. I feel Howard is controlling Larry now just like he did Anna.. Thank God, God is our judge.

Can anyone imagine what it would be like to have a father like Gregory Peck.
June 25th, 2007 at 8:40 am
larinda,
You are certainly right. Larry is not “allowing” anything. What can he do? On ET Saturday night, Howard talked. It was very thought provoking. He said his feelings remain the same for Dannielynn and that’s what’s important to him. He wants to make sure she has the best life possible. All the while, Larry was trying to put his ugly mug on camera. Howard also said he wish Anna could be here to see Dannielynn now and it’s horrible she’s not. No one else ever mentions Anna except to say that Dannielynn’s toes are like Anna’s. Howard is one helluva guy no matter how you put it. I trust his judgment in this and I know he will do the right thing in whatever. His word is enough for me.
June 25th, 2007 at 8:54 am
Don’t be fooled. Birkhead may saying he is acting jointly with HKS but it is Stern who is the captain of that ship.
Birkhead is man child. He is only capable of playing with the baby and posing for magazine covers, IMO. It is Stern who is the brains. And, IMO, at some point Stern will be greatly rewarded for his efforts and I say more power to him.
June 25th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Dear Art,
I’m laughing as I write this post, you have some very interesting people who post here. You have people who either love Howard or hate Howard. You also have some people who either love Larry or hate Larry. Now that Howard and Larry are working together for Dannielynn’s best interest, these people don’t know what to do with themselves.
Howard and Larry have forgiven each other and put aside the past and are moving forward and working together for what’s best for Dannielynn. Why can’t the people posting here do the same?
Why do so many people live in the past and argue over things they can’t change? Some of these people need to follow Howard’s and Larry’s example and move ONNNNNNNN!
June 25th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
maryst,
You are all over the place. First creating havoc on other websites and turning against Howard many many times. Who are you?
June 26th, 2007 at 12:15 am
Regarding the email sent by Anna to G. Ben Thompson about being the father you have to consider the source of that information. Ford Shelley was the one that made that claim. Do you believe him to be credible? Moreover, Shelley had her computer, password, log on id, and service provider. It would have taken a matter of minutes to send himself a fake email from her computer.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:54 am
Laurie:
I have always felt that Howard was treated horribly by so many. If he chooses to forgive Larry for having started the ugly lawsuit and spilling his guts to the media in order to score points, that is Howard’s prerogative. I doubt it would have turned out this way if it weren’t for Dannielynn. Larry’s despicable behavior turned me against him and nothing can change that.
I pity Dannielynn for having Larry as a father.
If Larry has found a wife, let’s hope he is through with flaunting himself. Let’s hope the marriage lasts at least two years so that we can take a break from seeing his face plastered everywhere. Let’s hope she keeps him on a short leash on locked in a closet.

#, Linda,
The ceremony was officiated by a minister.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:28 am
I really don’t understand why people are still talking about what Anna did or didn’t do. She can’t change it and neither can we. Please, just let her rest and try and deal with what’s before us now. It’s so easy to keep beating and beating,especially when one can’t defend themselves, but what’s to be gained by that? She lived her life and now it’s over. Stop pounding on her!
June 26th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Freida 6/24 8:06 am..your post kind of sums it up..HKS eulogy was very touching (really understand why ANS trusted/loved/was willing to leave her precious ones-DS & Danielynn in his care).
To 2 other posters that mentioned the commitment ceremony; the naysayers can believe what they wish, but yes, in the eyes of God(their was an actual MINISTER that officiated) HKS & ANS were married.
The bodies shud stay exactly where they were buried. Bodies shud not be moved around to make visits easier for the living. Where the deceased decided to be shud be final(except in very, very extraordinary circumstances…this is not one).
Gidget, sorry to disappoint u, no relation to anyone involved(just an informed and enlightened observer here).
To some who believe HKS kept ANS’ relatives away (here we go w/ the Svengali nonsense again). ANS did not want her family around because they betrayed her/used her/stole her things/ spoke negatively about her to the media/aided Pierce Marshall against her etc, etc. Part of ANS never wanted to be reminded of nor return to where she came from in TX. ANS was a strongwilled woman(not a helpless child) as some wud have us believe.

Tianna #64,
Your comment isn’t even worth my time to argue. Hope you aren’t a mother.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Laurie, they are working together for the sake of Dannielynn (‘s MONEY) It is disgusting. LB is going to have to answer for that someday, that the money is more important than moral integrity. You should have paid DO, now that you are using Sterns buddies, your TRUE COLORS are showing.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
Freida Everytime I read HKS eulogy to ANS it brings tears to my eyes.If only everybody could give the same for their loved ones.It was just beautifully said.I believe HKS is working with LB for the benifit of Dannilynn and to make sure she has a good life., Art keep us informed as things progress
June 26th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
one person say to me:
“I am not being mean; in the past I have been annoyed and replied unkindly upon reading your comments in other sites. I sincerely believe that you are confused and your low self-esteem causes you great pain. Please seek counseling for your own peace of mind.”
News flash that is a mean statement. You are not concerned for me or you would have put your words kindly. You have been nothing but unkind and mean to me. You have not shown me one bit of consideration.
FYI I am blocked from Jane’s site, get your facts straight.
I am merely a person who is willing to admit I made some misguided statements, I have stated consistently I want to cure them. It has nothing to do with you agreeing with me I know how close minded you are.
I am upset by my statements and my statements alone. I do feel stupid for getting drawn into that ridiculous site. I was reading all those articles and was getting drawn in. Also, I did want to stick up for what I thought were my friends.
However, this does not make me weak. A weak person could never admit to making a mistake nor would they try to cure it.
Finally, I know what you are doing trying to make others think I am an emotional basket case, is this the best argument you can come up with? Come on you can do better than that. Weakness is not a quality you are going to find in me. I stand here right in front of you and admit I made a mistake.
Now could you please tell me what all that crap on those sites has to do with Howard and supporting this family? Oh right after months of writing about Howard and sending letters we were not a support group. Another news flash, we were a support group by definition.
How could they speak to the Sterns and stab them in the back like this? I find it wrong. All over being shunned and I also find there has to be more to this story because I know the way I was treated, it was cruel, manipulative and I would not want to have any thing to do with them.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
by them, let’s call them the two fools.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Confused, yes I was confused that is an understatement, a lot of us who spent time on those sites were confused. It was the most confusing, lack of leadership, emotional site I can imagine. Lesson learned, confusion over. God always shows me the truth, I am quite please I was treated so mean and cruel it gave me the time needed to figure out what was happening to me. Have you never been confused or are you so perfect you are always right? Or do you just think you are and are very difficult to reason with?
I’ve grown and learned, Thank you to God who always protects me from evil. God gives me great esteem knowing he is with me, protects me and loves us, how could I ever have low self esteem? Actually, think I am pretty great, with the Lord at my side and living in me leading my life.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Who decided to use this picture? It is not a good one!!
June 27th, 2007 at 10:54 am
Dear Art,
This is a link to a picture of Anna and Daniel on the beach together, it is one of my favorites. Hope it was her’s too. She looked so natural her.

You know, I just don’t understand why some people keep telling some of us to move on. Really, what on earth is it to you, what we do or don’t do. Please don’t concern yourselves with us. We don’t, you.
I don’t know why it bug’s you so much. We’ll “move on” whenever the hell we want to, and you can do whatever you want to. It doesn’t matter to us at all what you do.
June 27th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Hi Art
Still waiting patiently for your story on Ford Shelly that you posted awhile back stating that you had more on the conversation with F.S.
Please Art Tell us the rest of the story. It’s kind of a boring news week (unless your a Paris fan)
I’m really interested in what the little weasel has to say now.
Gidget #80
I see you have a hard time reading as Bonnie wasn’t post #62 she was post # 76.
How would you know if Bonnie Stern was living off Anna. I hope you check you facts real well before you do any more beaking off about people.
Did you hear any of the interviews with Anna’s real friends not the publicity whores that claimed they were her friends. According to her real friends the stories we hear about H.S. aren’t even close to being true.
He didn’t keep any body away from Anna that Anna herself didn’t want to see.
I don’t know if you noticed or not but these people have sure done a disappearing act ever since they found out that they could be sued for their lies they were telling on National T.V. with in hours of Daniel’s death and Anna’s death.
If you think for a minute that these people are good friend’s of Anna’s you NUTS!!!Since when do good friend’s or family for that matter go public with nasty statements about Anna( REAL NICE FRIENDS) MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH SUCH GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Sounds to me like you deserve the Jackie Hattens and Bobby Trendy’s and all of the other trash
involved as your good friends (low life and other low lifes make good friend’s) so I think you would do very well with these people.
It sounds to me like you don’t have anybody in your life to help you with your medication as all can see it’s clearly NOT WORKING. So why don’t you crawl on back home to Texas where you And Fat Ass Virgie can bitch about all the bad people in Anna’s life.
Hey maybe you can get lucky and Splash news might be around while you visiting Fat Ass and maybe you could make some money selling false stories or by sitting you fat ass next to the worst Mother ever and have your picture taken crying false tears over Daniel’s grave.
So maybe you should keep your Nasty mouth shut(notice I didn’t put lipsticked mouth)The reason for that is you need a little class and money to buy such luxuries and I don’t think you have much of either. At least Bonnie looks good in hers.
After what the Stern family has been through in the Media I would say they handled this with alot of class and dignity. More that any one else involved in this case
So do us all a favor and go slither under a rock somewhere in you trailer park.
You say you deal in reality not garbage then you better get an education so you can read and understand what is going on. Because you sure don’t have a clue. And if that is your reality PLEASE go to the nearest hospital as I think you have lost you mind. I think the better question is what made you such a DIRTY NASTY B—H?
As I said from the way the Stern family has acted through all of this they have more class in one little finger than you could ever hope to have.

Yes it would have been easy but those things are easily traced. The fact of when that email was sent isn’t hard at all to prove if they want to prove it. Hard drive!! It would have to be completly erased for it not to have a time stamp on it. Also, there is no way to change the time stamp when the email is sent. Basically, if it was sent after Anna’s death then the date and time would have been at the top and there is no way to change that.
June 27th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Art,
Thanks for your great articles and reporting on the Anna Nicole saga. I’m glad to see Howard amd Larry working together for Dannielynn’s best interest. There are many people saying that Howard kept them away from Anna but obvisouly Anna did have a mind of her own and did not want any of those people or her family in her life because they all used her. As for for that E special, it was a joke. Debra Opri, Anna’s fat cousin, O.J. Simpson, Eric Redding, people that were not friend’s of Anna.
June 27th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
laurie, your post made me laugh. Soooooo true
June 27th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Peggy #66
You say Billie refused to have anybody adopt his son.Since you know so much about Billy. Why did he not support his child? Why did he not go to court and get visitstion rights? Why did he not try to see Daniel after he was an adult? And for God sake if he thought Daniel was in danger why didn’t he try to save Daniel?
You say you find it crazy that Howard would’t consult the family. Why in the hell would he? As excutor of the will he has to follow Anna’s wishes and it was very clear she didn’t want her family involved. Being a parent is a priviledge not a right.
You say any decent person would consult with the family that might be true when you are dealing with normal human beings, but come on now that Mother and family are the furthest thing from decent human beings.
When people write wills and appoint excutors it is because they trust those people to follow their last wishes and as we all know Anna did not want her Mother or family involved, so I’m sure that is why Howard didn’t contact the family, he was following Anna’s wishes. It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with doing what he was asked to do by Anna if anything should ever happen to her.
What anyone puts in their will is what they want to happen after they are gone. How would you feel if whoever you appointed didn’t follow your wishes?
I pray that if you are ever left in charge of someones final wishes that you do what they want and not what you think is right. IT’s their final wishes not yours.
No matter what anyone thinks of this it was Anna’s final wishes and I for one thank God that she had someone that loved her enough to take care of things the way she wanted.
Beleive me if Virgie had got her way nothing would been done as Anna would of wanted. All we would of seen is her fat ass making money while she cried her crocodile tears for the camera plopped down on the grave. Even worse her fat ass would be even larger because she would have more money from her interviews and we can tell what she spends her spare time and money on (food)
Virgie and only Virgie are to blame for Anna’s messed up life. She did enough damage while Anna was alive.
GOD FORBID SHE HAS ANY RIGHTS IN ANNA”S DEATH AS SHE TOTALLY F—-D up her child hood.
So maybe instead of fighting her daughters wishes she should go for some very intense therapy and try to help her remaing children and ask for their forgiveness for wrecking their lives and being such a TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE mother.
If her other kid’s have any children of their own I would suggest only supervised visits with Virgie and make sure she has enough brains this time to put her gun away. Before another innocent childs life is ruined by this monster posing as a caring Mother.
I have heard she had her first child at 14. If this is true what makes her any better than Anna.
Anna might have had some problems but that is because of her screwed up childhood with only Virgie to blame.
Who is she to judge Anna’s lifestyle when her’s was even worse. Pregnant at 14, multiple marraiges, ect. She has messed up enough lives including hers.
If you watched the news this week just because you a police officer dosen’t mean your a goood moral person (I’m talking about the officer that killed his girlfriend and his unborn child) bad people slip threw the cracks sometimes and I beleive this is how she became a police officer because she certainly isn’t a strong moral person and not only that how could that fat thing chase down any criminals? I think you need to be in shape for that and with her weight I find it hard to beleive she could do anything but eat.
Most Mothers try to help their children when they are alive. Why Didn’t Virgie? The only thing she did was go on T.V. and trash Anna after Daniels death. Oh yea she did take a film crew with her to Daniel’s final resting place and according to her she didn’t get paid for that her sister in-law got the money(YA RIGHT LOL) So before you question Howards actions find out a little more about why he did what he did.
Anna didn’t want anything to do with that fat ass and after the world watched what she did most normal people understood why.
I beleive in karma and Virgie should watch herself because all that bad karma she created will come back to haunt her. And I beleive she deserves everything she has comming her way.
June 27th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
I can’t wait to see the headstone, it will be beautiful. I have seen quite a few headstones with pictures, I don’t think Howard will have a problem finding someone who can do it.

Well I will say one thing I can see where some might think i am unbalanced after seeing what they did to my post on JD site. They put my post all in order and took out what I was responding to. I also notice other post with the same complaints being removed.
The threat was made but then edited later.
I was upset that night and there was a lot behind the scenes no one saw.
June 27th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Well, I got pulled in, my fault
The other site I thought was a support group but turns out is not a support group are slicker then me that is for sure. Very dangerous ppl over there. All because I was upset what they did to the support group. Systematically tried to tare us apart, one by one taking us down. It is so manipulative to take my post and put them out of order and not show what I am responding to. Then to edit the threat. I printed it out so I do have the threat and I do take it serious. This shows me there is more to this story and I wonder who they represent. It seems to me the enemy would want us to fall apart. Still believe we should stick together and show HKS support.
June 27th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
“Life is for the LIVING….!”
If a person wants to assist their companion in surviving tragedy and embracing LIFE on behalf of an innocent infant, then many CHANGES could have been affected in Anna Nicole Smith’s daily life and, especially, as regards seeking out the appropriate and non-personal psychotherapeutic counselor and then getting her weaned off drugs. Dr. Perper stated that Anna Nicole Smith’s life could have been saved had her inner circle sought (professional) medical care on her behalf.
Many of you may glorify Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith’s life via the seductive photos but the one that will remain vividly in my mind is the last photo taken in the Hardrock Casino & Hotel, i.e. she’s (hand-in-hand with her companion) dressed in a trench coat and wearing sunglasses clearly walking to her death!
Howard K. Stern is not Dannielynn Hope’s father no matter how many of you wish it to be so! G-d intervened in this story and made certain this child will be able to spend her underage years with her biological father, Larry Birkhead, and her extended paternal family.
After what Howard K. Stern put Larry Birkhead through with the internet publication of the questionable video tape of Anna Nicole’s C-section birth (wherein Larry Birkhead saw his daughter at the same moment as millions around the world) and, further, going on Larry King Live was absolutely shameful. In my opinion, Howard K. Stern is fortunate that Larry Birkhead will permit him to have anything to do with his daughter as, under the same stet of circumstances, I can assure you I wouldn’t as the money would never be important to me on behalf of my daughter or son!
The finest marble plaque in the world is not going to make this tragic story anything but a tragic story. There are only skeletal remains in those caskets as the souls long ago departed–Daniel in The Bahamas and Anna Nicole in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Hopefully, their souls have been rescued though that is an unknown due to the way they died–a possibly silent but still horrific release. Anna Nicole was insightful that Daniel didn’t know where to go just as she would not have known where to go upon her death, i.e. “unconscious” under the influence of drugs!
Sitting in The Bahamas and visiting gravesites is a macabre act….grieve and let the past go!

Maryst:
If you were locked out of Jane’s site, how did all those e-mails pop up? My comment to you was before your many e-mails showed up.
Anyway, I did not call you weak! For your information, I suffer from depression and take medication which helps me. I am not weak and I have never been called weak. I do not consider mental illness a weakness. It is a horrible, horrible illness, much worse than cancer. Yes, in my opinion, it is a much crueler illness than cancer. Everyone pities people with cancer while treating the mentally ill in the most despicable way.
You referred to Jane’s site as a support group. To me a support group is a group for people to gather and discuss whatever they may be suffering from. Many of us were deeply saddened by the cruelties thrown at Howard K. Stern, but that in no way would qualify as a support group.
You, however, sound paranoid and it is to your benefit to take care of yourself. If you thought I was mean to you, too bad. You change your mind constantly and feel sorry for yourself, which is not an appealing quality. It is extremely annoying. For example, when you say “I know you don’t want me in here” …. what does that accomplish? If you know you are not wanted, then stay away. If you do not want to leave a place where you feel unwelcome, then stay put but change your writing style so that you do not sound like you are whinning.
If I were you, I would stand up straight, change my writing style and find a different name to post under. The only person who matters is Art Harris, the owner of this site, and whatever you may call yourself, he will still have your correct e-mail address.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:50 am

I still believe it’s wrong of you to start rambaling about someone elses site on here. Let it go, if you say your a stronger person, then why continue to talk about something that you have no control over?
June 28th, 2007 at 8:35 am
Art,
I thought this site was moderated. It is beginning to read like TMZ with all the name calling and disrespect. Doesn’t matter what side of the saga you are on there is no reason to degrade and disrespect your fellow human beings for no one what the real truth is.
June 28th, 2007 at 8:56 am
maryst,
Please stop talking about poor poor me! It’s not about you. As I said before, you’ve been all over the place on this. You support Howard one day, next day, it’s Larry. Please make up your mind and settle down. I’ve posted on some of the same sites as you have, and I haven’t seen the threats you’re referring to.

That picture of Anna and Daniel is perfect! I’d never seen that one before, but then I really haven’t seen many at all, but that on would be great.
Thank you for sharing and I hope it will be considered.

No one has a clue who or what you are talking about!!!!!!
THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT LARRY AND HOWARD LOOKING FOR A GRAVE MARKER FOR ANNA AND DANIEL. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WERE PULLED ON OTHER SITES. AND YES I AGREE YOU MAY WANT TO SEEK HELP. THANK YOU.
June 28th, 2007 at 11:21 am
Ruth #107 6/27 11:07am…great picture of DS & ANS. This picture is much better than the one shown at the top of this article. They look beautiful together. Art, suggest this to HKS/LB for the tombstone.
Jackie 6/27 1:31pm……U are correct. Ppl quoting that E special as gospel needs to read betwix the lines. That E hatchet job looks like it was put together by the Marshall family (aided by that guy who wrote ‘GBBD’). I want to see a real bio of ANS truthfully depicted by all sides. The ppl interviewed(DH, DO, Marshall lawyers, ‘GBBD’ author, former friends and employees, etc) for the most part, had ax to grind. Not saying that it shud be a puff-piece, but other ppl who knew her more weren’t in that scathing so-called bio.
To other posters who keep singing VA’s praises, maybe they shud send their small children to visit her. They shud research her life fully before defending her so much. To some who criticize Bonnie Stern for defending her brother, she comes from a family that seems to love their son/brother HKS(which is more than anyone can say for the family of ANS-may she rest in peace).
June 28th, 2007 at 11:22 am
Tianna #109 & #113,
You must be related to Bonnie, you only know 2 words, fat ass. I feel sad the two of you think you are better than anyone else and have such a filthy mouth. Again I ask, are you a mother? No, I am not from Texas, I believe I stated that earlier. However, I am a mother and grandmother and aunt and sister and a daughter. I try to have a little more respect for people who do not pour drugs down another person and then blame that person. My, you must be unhappy in life. Hope you don’t have a stroke with all the venom you are spewing out. Also hope you aren’t connected to Dannielynn, she doesn’t need that kind of garbage in her life.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Gidget#99
Yes I am a mother and Grandmother.
If my comment wasn’t worth it why the hell are you replying? Maybe you should think before you type as your comment dosen’t make any sense.
Did you contact al-anon or anyone to learn more about addiction? As I said don’t beak off about things you have no clue about.Although I sometimes I wish I could live in dreamland like you and just tell someone to stop their addiction. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD THAT WOULD BE!

Thank you Art for continuing to update, continued support of HKS and for reporting the TRUTH. I will ALWAYS support HKS and sooooo HAPPY he is remaining in DannieLynn’s life. She is by far the most important innocent victim in this tragedy and she is such a HAPPY BABY! Love does that
June 28th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
My lack of faith in the intelligence of humanity has been reaffirmed repeatedly in this case.
You people that think Stern is a wonderful human being are prime canidates for Jim Jones and his magic kool-aid.
Art, it should read “free rein”, not reign. I would think an intelligent, “investigative reporter” would know that.

Anyone curious can see what Maryst is talking about here. http://janedevin.com/2007/06/24/the-rumors/
Mary started posting with number 30 and then
31, 32, 33, 34, 35.
I replied in 36, “Maryst,
You would be wise to stop what you are doing.
I see “everything” that has been written”.
Meaning that her posts started to go to moderation and were only seen in the admin panel.
I then edited it to include “They are going into the spam folder. That kind of ugliness is not allowed here or on my site either”.
Just kidding.
Then Mary posted, 39, 40 and 41.
Her posts that went into moderation were released the next morning.
There is nothing out of order or edited.
And then the FBI came to my door and arrested me.
Naw

Thank you for maintaining us informed, and for letting Howard know he is not alone. You are a very brave man to keep this subject alive, knowing how vicious people can be, and all the gossip and assumptions made against Howard.
It was not easy to live with Anna Nicole, lovely and beautiful as she was, but Howard was there for her for 11 years through good and bad.
There should be more compassion, HKS lost all his family in a matter of months. I believe his love for Danielynn is sincere and he will do all he can to protect her. If that does not make him a biological father in my book makes him with more reason an admirable person, selflessly devoted to the daughter of the woman he loved so much.
Biological relatives??? Look at Virgie, she was related by blood, and I would like her to be far away from that baby!
Art, Keep up the great work!
June 29th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
What ever, as long as the Stern family understand what happen is all that matters to me right now.
I did think it was a support group, my misunderstanding.
God forgive me for getting drawn in to all those articles that had nothing to do with Howard and his lost or the way media was treating him.
I pray Larry is a good father and what best for all of them.

P.S. most of us know what is going on in regards to JD site, it is very manipulative and I am not the only one blocked or believe me I would take my problem to that site.

Tianna #127,
You are pretty comical, hope you have a better day tomorrow. I believe this site was put here so we may exercise our freedom of speech rights. Please read #129.

Anna ! was so bless to have had Howard in her life. She died knowing that howard would some how be apart of Danielynn life. Howard is a good man. Howard Anna will allways live forever in your heart.
We love you! Howard.
Thanks! art keeps us updated….

As a moderator on Jane’s site, I guarantee you that NO ONE has been blocked. All comments that fit within the posting guidelines, printed on site are published.
Maryst, your IP was put into moderation because after you made 58 comments on the “Intermission” thread and then accused Jane of manipulating and controlling your mind, it was decided
that you were an interruption to the discussion at hand.
Your continued threats to turn either her or I into the FBI or to press lawsuits against us, is something we view as coming from a troubled mind. We would suggest that if the site disturbs you so greatly, then to stay off of it. We would also ask that you refrain from using Art’s site to spread your diseased message.
Maryst. Believe it or not, Janes site is not all about you. Right now the discussion is, the complete devistation of a family by way of murder. This is where Jane’s efforts lie. And it is what the readers are interested in. Not you.
P.S. To Art, I must apologize for responding but since you allow these types of comments on your board, I felt you would allow my response.
June 29th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
To all of those who hate Howard, how on earth to you reconcile the fact that seemingly every single one of Anna’s friends (friends. not “wanna be” friends) supports Howard??
And also back up Anna when Anna said that Larry was basically a stalker?!
June 30th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Chalk 6/28 4:58pm…i assume that the kinship u share w/ the many peebrains on tmz makes you feel superior. I have often referred thruout Art’s site to ppl like u as kool-aid drinkers. Unlike many other sites, this one for the most part have thinking, intelligent, insightful posters. Like i said before, i think freely/don’t buy into spin/research everywhere/see almost all interviews/read others. I have come to the conclusion that a man was used by tabloids for their own gain. Noone, and i mean noone in the media actually care or believe that HKS killed anyone(fyi: VA, Opri, O’Q doesn’t either).. I use the term ‘peebrain’ because if u dissect the nonsense that some haters put forward, it is simply garbage. Kool-aid drinker or sheep are those who buy spin and are too freaking lazy to think or research for themselves. Your cheap shot at Art is better suited for another site mentioned above(they seem to name-call and attack w/out putting forth an intelligent argument).
Art, keep on keeping on.

LINDA # 88 DON’T CORRECT ME MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Art
I am glad to read of any progress leading to a semblance of normalcy for the immediately involved parties. Placing a memorial on a grave is an important step in the grieving process and perfecting the appearance of that memorial holds significant importance to those choosing it.
It’s almost like the very last birthday, christmas, valentine’s, anniversary gift that will be given and it has to be the best one ever given. It also shows how important the deceased was to their loved ones.
I am sorry your site comments are filled with insignificant and off topic blabber! The posting of relevant websites for memorials is helpful, but the posting of others’ opinions about the people involved with choosing the headstone are inappropriate. And posting websites that don’t have anything to do with this topic looks like a shameless way to create more traffic (or trouble) for the website cited!
I am assuming they are adults and should know better, but they obviously lack the capacity to filter their own emotions and pettiness.
The arguments back and forth serve no purpose other than to take up space. We all know these same people would not say the things they type to the person they are aiming their comments towards in person, so why do it here?

Hey Art, I haven’t been on your site in a longtime. I’ve actually missed it. I was so touched to see this about Howard and Larry coming together to get a memorial for Anna and Daniel. Howard is just a class act as well as his sister Bonnie. She and I chat from time to time and I must tell you that she is wonderful and she is such a big supporter of Howard. By the way did everyone see Dannielynn on the cover of OK? She is just beautiful. Every picture of her throughout the article was just beautiful. Larry looked ridiculous. He has had a lot of work done on his face and teeth. I didn’t realize how long his chin was until I saw that article. But all joking aside, Dannielynn looks just wonderful. She is precious. I just wish Anna and Daniel were here to enjoy all the joy she is going to bring. Howard most definitely should be included in that trio. He really loves Dannielynn very much and has proven that he would do just about anything for her. Howard if you ever read some of the entries on Arts site, I just want you to know that I think you are a wonderfully beautiful man who has the most precious gift that any human can possess. You have the ability to love and forgive. You, Howard are just the most wonderful man. I wish Anna were still here so that you all could share all the things that are going on in Dannielynn’s little life. What’s happened to Virgie? I haven’t heard anything from her since she got slapped with the $3000.00 fine from court. It figures. She was exposed immediately for what she is. A fake pig who was after nothing but Anna’s money and any potential money that could possibly accompany little Dannielynn. Art this is a great site and thanks so much for it.
July 3rd, 2007 at 12:05 am
To Linda #88, I believe you are the same crazy ass b—h that I had words with before. First of all Bonnie Stern isn’t living off of Anna and never has. She is a very intelligent woman who has opened a successful Erotic Chocolate shop callee Flurtzgirl. She also has another job and it isn’t collecting a damn dime from Anna’s estate. Howard isn’t either. He’s been working for Anna for 12 years and has yet to see a penny. Bonnie Stern first of all would never stoop this low and try to defend her brother or herself because she has something most of you sorry ass’s family don’t …. IT’S CALLED CLASS!!!!! To all of you who think Howard is only after the money, why would he purchase and have a memorial dedicated to Anna and her baby boy Daniel. Can you imagine how much that would cost? Howard isn’t getting any money from the estate. He was just recently named executor. Larry however is different. Have any of you saw Howard with Dannielynn selling pictures of him and her together laying around without his shirt on? No and you won’t. That’s because Larry is after the money and he has to pretend to gloat on and on about Dannielynn. Larry got her and he has received the attention that he himself admitted to wanting. Anna Nicole Smith made Larry what he is. He was the f—–g press. He used Anna and they slept together and she got pregnant. A reporter said that Larry will only let pictures be taken if there is a camera and a checkbook. Look at him!!!! His hair is highlighted and styled, his veneers are immaculant and last but not least his botox injections are a regular part of his life. This is at his own admission. Larry is the one that you should be able to see right through. He makes me sick. HKS and LB do speak often and Howard even turned ANNA’S California home over to Larry for the benefit of Dannielynn. Some of you, such as Nancy #91 should really check out the story before you attack him and his family. The memorial for ANS and DS is the most loving thing that could have happened next to not fighting Larry for Dannielynn. Larry was a sperm donor but Howard will always be Dannielynns REAL FATHER. I just can’t believe some of the comments that some are still making about HKS. He is never out for the public to interview and get paid, it’s Larry. He has had Dannielynn for a couple of months and already he has done 2 interviews along with pictorials which he received a million each. He has also posed for the Enquirer. What does that say about him? Not much I’m afraid. Larry is transparent. I do hope he raises Dannielynn the best that he can. He should stay out of the limelight. But this is what he has waited for for years. He finally received some exposure and for what? Thanks again Art for letting me vent.
July 3rd, 2007 at 2:58 pm
#145,CindifromKnoxville,
I agree with a lot of what you said. I think Larry needs to realize and in a hurry, that it takes more than play time to raise a child. To me, he’s a kid himself. I hope I’m wrong about him, but I don’t see any maturity in him. He is always trying to get his mug on camera. When ET showed the clips of Howard, Larry and the attorneys outside the hearing in LA last week, Howard was talking about how he wished Anna was able to see Dannielynn now and Larry was grinning in front of the camera. Larry never says anything about Anna. He has a long way to go in raising Dannielynn, let’s just hope he’s up to the task.
I am just so thankful that Howard was appointed executor of the estate. This puts my mind at ease. I can’t begin to imagine what would happen if he wasn’t. I can imagine, I just won’t say it. LOL
July 3rd, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Cindi from knoxville… I hope Art always allows you to vent because you speak the truth and with the same passion that I feel. So many of us see the kind of person Howard is, was to Anna and the father he would, and should, be to Dannielynn. I see Larry as you stated and I worry about Dannielynn’s safety in his care – it’s just a feeling of fear that nags at me and won’t go away.
Marb…. You asked Art to “keep on keeping on”. I ask YOU to keep on keeping on. You, as well as Joni, EJ, HMMarron and a few others have never backed down and stand for what is good and right.
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Dear Art,
I am sorry that my last comment was not able to be posted, but I thought this article was about Anna and Daniel’s grave marker. After reading Maryst rant on #54, #63, #69, #73, #102, #103, #104, #112, #115, #116, #134, and #135, and her post took center stage. I was just trying to point out truth to her. The Site was not a support group.
July 5th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Art, Thank you
I did not mean to cause a distraction from your article, it is really nice Howard and Larry working together.
I was over emotional and I realize it. I could not vent at the place I wanted to and used your form to show my displeasure.
Please except my apology, I am not familiar with posting formality.
Thank you for your help regardless of the out come. I Sure took a beating.
Mary S.

To ANNE 147 and EJ 148 Thanks for the vote of confidence. I quit getting on this site because some people really made me angry with the things they said about Howard. I can’t believe people don’t see what alot of us see. He is a great father and a friend. He treated Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn better than anyone did and could have treated them. Larry is always gettin that big ass head in the picture. He’s always kissing on Dannielynn when the camera is rolling. He makes me sick to my stomach. There was a rerun of Larry on Larry King and of Geta the other nite and I must say that if asked a direct question Larry has failed miserably to give a direct answer. HE SKATES around the issue continually because he is a liar. He never maintains eye contact and I’ve always heard that that was a good sign of a liar. He doesn’t know how to communicate with people that have any intelligence. He is a loser and he is now basking in the limelight all because of Anna (God rest her beautiful soul) and Dannielynn. Otherwise he would be just another man who happened to father a child. He is living off of Anna even in her death as he did before. HE is living in her California home, cheesing for the camera all the time all because of Anna and Dannielynn. If he was to be a regular dad or mom such as mere folks such as ourselves, he wouldn’t have camera’s in his face or he wouldn’t be on the cover of The Enquirer or OK Magazine. Larry next time try to get on the cover of a reputable magazine and not one that reports all the sleeze that those 2 do. LARRY’S motive is sef-serving and it will come back to bite him in his flat behind. God willing that Dannielynn be raised by people that truly love her and are only looking out for her best interests. Larry is looking out for his best interest. By the way tell him to get rid of the khaki suit that he wears. It does nothing for him and quite frankly it is ugly. Thanks to all the Howard supporters because I am outraged be all of the ones that have terrible things to say about him. He is a good and decent man in case some haven’t noticed. Thanks to you Art for letting me say what I want to say. Well let me say this, thanks for letting me say what I think is more appropriate and not completely out of text.

Cindifromknoxville… I admire people who say what they mean and mean what they say. You, like a lot of us, have watched, listened, made up your own mind based on facts, and not what the media tried to make us believe. I do not have to say more because you feel exactly as I do and you say it best.

I think that she is in a cemetery that is restricted to those.
In an unrestricted cemetery there are many more choices that can be considered
