Thread Number Two
Birkhead reportedly received a bill from his former attorney, Debra Opri, for services rendered up until the duo’s professional parting of the ways last month, with total charges in excess of $620,000, according to tmz.com.
Opri issued a statement Monday defending her accounting system and decrying the chain of events that resulted in the details of Birkhead’s bill becoming public fodder.
“I cannot comment on unauthenticated documents which were disseminated to the media under suspicious circumstances, and which are covered by the attorney-client privilege,” Opri said.
“I can assure you, however, that all of the fees and expenses incurred on behalf of Mr. Birkhead were reasonable, necessary, and appropriate, given the complexity and magnitude of this very high profile case that was litigated in two different states and a foreign country.”
As far as Birkhead’s concerned, the matter’s not up for discussion. At least not publicly.
“I have absolutely no comment nor have I made any comment on any situation pertaining to any attorney’s bill,” he wrote on his official Website Monday.
Birkhead also took the opportunity to clear up reports that he had obtained a trademark on the phrase “Good Night, My Sweet Anna Baby” for use in book, movie or TV deals.
“I have never requested a trademark, signed or filled out any paperwork on a trademark relating to Anna Nicole Smith, and the saying ‘Goodnight My Sweet Anna Baby,’” Birkhead wrote. “The form was filled out by another individual on my behalf.”
Birkhead said he would seek to have the trademark on the phrase, which was his standard goodnight sendoff to Smith, “withdrawn or canceled on the grounds that it was not approved by me.”
He also weighed in on a couple of monetary matters, denying reports that he had been participating in high stakes poker games in the Bahamas at $1,500 a hand (”I do not even know how to play poker…”) and urging his supporters not to send him any donations for his legal bills.
“Previously someone set up a ‘Save Dannielynn’ defense fund for me (again without my authorization) and some individuals sent in donations before the ‘fund’ was discovered by me,” he wrote. “I demanded that person who initiated the fund to immediately cease any unauthorized collection on my behalf.”
Judging from the size of Opri’s bill, he may want to reconsider.

sounds like all she did was go into the court and then tell Joe and Katherine what was happening. Makes no sense.
I always thought that she was there to protect Michaels father, Joe Jackson, in case things got hot for Michael and he had to mention the abuse his father inflicted on him when he was a kid. Just a WAG tho.
Covering up those needle marks with those tatoos.
Me too windchime. I wondered where you were.
I never thought of that. I wonder how far they go down. Did she get Daniel’s face tattoed on her body or was it just his name?
It was scoobeedoo .
Good question.
Well I have not seen him point his finger and say:
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Smith.
I have a theory on that.... yes, I believe she slept with him — at HKS behest when ANS met him (through Larry). Suddenly it was Larry who? and she slept with Ben and then reuinited with Larry and was pregnant. I think she thought having a baby with a rich man would set her up for life and things were going slow with the Marshall millions.
bump for later reading
I believe it was just Daniel's name.
However in the autopsy report there is mention that some of the tatoos were over (covered) injection scarings. I believe in the autopsy report the location is the inner thigh.
