Fluffy, the thread tends to flow with whatever’s in the news re: this case on any given day. The most recent news all had to do with Larry’s custody case and Virgie’s legal actions concerning DL, whatever they may be. I think that’s mainly why it’s seemed to some that “Virgie bashers” are more vocal.
Now, I don’t hate Virgie but I’m not overly fond of her and my feelings and opinions thus far are based only on her actions and words since day one. She hasn’t helped herself too much in the court of public opinion lately. Stern hasn’t said that much about her publicly and I began forming my own opinions of her actions well before, at any rate. I’m sure she is neither a horrific human being or the most wonderful mother/grandmother. She’s something in between(like most people) and since we don’t know her and still lack a great deal of info, I don’t yet know where I’d place her on the scale of “goodness—badness.”
I know your feelings toward Stern and you are entitled to them. Let others who don’t share your feelings about Virgie have the same respect you’re granted concerning your strong feelings about Stern. For instance, I’m not willing to call him a psychopath for my own very valid reasons. Sure, I can see how some may look at things he appears to have done or not done and make a layman’s diagnosis. That isn’t good enough for me, and that’s just me. Early on, before you were here, my goal was to remain neutral and factual and fair-minded to all the players. Confirmed facts have been a little hard to come by in this case. I still remain in “wait and see” mode.

For some reason, in all the videos today on AccessHwood, he kept covering Dannielynn’s head with a quilt when they were going from place to place. He didn’t do it when they were videotaping in the house with the other family members, just whenever he was outside of the house. It scares me to see another “Blanket Jackson” thing going on.

NBC Universal reportedly paid $1 million for exclusive access to Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkead, a deal that is now culminating in her Journey to America, as well as an honorary godfather title and round-the-clock blankey duty for Access Hollywood reporter Tony Potts

An insider tells us the network's parent, NBC Universal, sealed the deal with Birkhead shortly after Anna Nicole's funeral

Our source says the Birkhead deal is almost up, but one more big scoop is in the works. Birkhead and little Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead are flying from the Bahamas to Los Angeles today. "They'll be on board a Bravo-funded plane along with Howard K. Stern and the network is planning some kind of big interview," our insider says.

"NBC-Universal made the deal with Larry right after the funeral. NBC did it through their entertainment division so there wouldn't be any uproar about it coming from news."

(well, thank God they screwed up the with Howard K Stern part - maybe going to Kentucky was plan B? or were they talking about HK going to L.A.? Can we expect a joint HK/LB 'interview' after the Derby???? hope NOT!!!! Maybe the 'quilt-head' is because the deal is almost up and he doesn't want any freelance paps to get pix until he signs another exclusive???)

I’m sure there’s been lots going on behind the scenes re: further investigations into KE and Howard, as well. I’m guessing that Virgie’s attorneys and their PIs have spoken to the Seminole police and Broward County DA’s office, Dr. Perper and the Bahamian authorities, too. If there are any reasons to believe any of these authorities have truly botched their investigations into Daniel and Anna’s deaths, we will hear about it.
KE most certainly has an attorney and has been told to stay out of sight and keep her mouth zipped. I sure would welcome news of any pending charges against her, though! I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed the Seminoles and Broward Co. seem to feel they just don’t have enough to press charges. Yet. I do understand the types of charges against a doctor that would be brought in this ANS case can be real tough to prove. We won’t ever hear results of police interviews of KE and her actions, unless charges are brought and there is a trial. If that never happens, I’ll be satisfied they had good reason to close the case, as far as KE is concerned. At least, I’ll try to be satisfied:)
I wonder if/when we’ll hear of any action taken by the California medical board? Don’t these things tend to be done rather quietly? Whatever action comes forth, if it does,it becomes public information at some point, doesn’t it?

Why don’t my paragraphs show up in my post?

"All that he now has to do is name the winer of the 133rd Kentucky Derby and Larry will be God around here!" one local exclamied today.

seriously, tho - the absolute CUTEest pic of DL on this page - absolutely the BEST I've seen to date. sorry I don't know how to bring it to the thread - she's really adorable and focused on the camera, smiling with little arm stretched out, looking happy and relaxed, laying on blue and white bedspread?Sheet? and is in matching nightie! :)

this site is a 'spoof' news site but this article seems pretty accurate and good spirited

NOTE: it says that the Marshall case will resume THIS month in L.A. ???????????

A New York federal judge has ruled that Marilyn Monroe’s right of publicity died when she did in 1962, paving the way for family members of the late photographer Sam Shaw to continue selling and licensing images of the icon, including the photo of her standing above a subway gate.

Monroe’s estate sued Shaw Family Archives and Bradford Licensing Inc. in 2005 in Indiana alleging violations of the superstar’s right of publicity by using her name, image and likeness for commercial purposes without consent. The suit was brought under Indiana’s broad 1994 Right of Publicity Act, which recognizes a descendible postmortem right of publicity.

Bodyguard ‘Big Moe’ Writing Tell-All Book On Anna Nicole
LOS ANGELES (April 11, 2007) — HarperEntertainment announced

...The two will write of Big Moe’s accompanying Smith on her **TrimSpa promotional tours**, protecting her from the advances of high-profile celebrities, and watching as she began her descent into drug addiction. .....”I’m the last person to put my lips around her lips ...”

NOTE: I’d forgotten about this old article. but here’s the Moe/LB connection - they were both on Anna’s trimspa tours? Maybe Moe just had ‘florida detail’ ? and why would Moe, the fireman, Moe the paramedic, Moe the pro ball player, be ‘watching’ as ‘she began her descent’ - what, wait a minute....’began?’ what does that MEAN? ‘began her descent’......?????? is Moe going to claim she wasn’t on drugs when Moe met her?

Well - I might have to actually tune in to CSI to see this camera work on these rooms! I will check it out. Thursday nights.

Oh, yes, I know about the Thorne rooms! Wow - you knew the person who did those??? Through your friend? Now that would have been a joy to see those being built. Did you see them in person? I have not ever seen them in person but of course read all about them in NSN. One of the YouTube Videos(that I am sorry you can't see) highlighted one of the Thorne Rooms - not one I linked but another one.

My rooms are not that intricate as the Thorne Rooms, but, yes, they are the ideal.

Oh - do we have anybody in Kansas? Bad tornado hit overnight. So sad to see.

I have never said Virgie is the most wonderful human being. I doubt she is. I was merely responding to vicious attacks on her, which included blaming her for Daniel's death, blaming her for not taking Daniel away from ANK.

What respect are you talking about? If you want to call disagreeing with someone as showing a lack of respect, go ahead. You mention strong feeling about HKS. I am not the only one who has no respect and no warm feeling for him. And it is based purely on what he has said and done. I had never heard of him until after Daniel's death.

If you don't want to call HKS a psychopath, there is nothing wrong with that. Some have referred to him as a sociopath, and you do not need a special degree to do it. The criteria for that is a list of characteristics exhibited by a person.

Morning Jane- good post

“”””If you don’t want to call HKS...”””

As I see it we have three choices:

HK$ is the unlucky acquaintance of two young people accidentally dying in his presence.
Or
HK$ is an illiterate, stupid, ignorant, careless idiot who had no clue about the effect of taking copious drugs in lethal combination and could not, or did not read & comprehend the medical cautions on the pharmacy instruction sheets attached to every drug prescribed in his name.
Or
HK$ is the most careful, clever and diabolical murderer in the annals of crime.

Nice to hear from you guys. I’ll peek in from time to time until the house is straightened out. Today we’re hanging pictures and buying the LR drapes and kitchen curtains. The kitchen curtains are so cute. I’ll have to cut them because the ones we’re getting don’t come in cafe tier size. Can’t understand that. They are kitchen curtains! Do people put full length curtains in their kitchens these days? I won’t do that because the hubs designed beautiful window casings that should be shown.
