(*In 1963, Barbara Walters became a co-host without the official title. In 1974,
Howard is a b...... for making her make that "I Hate Mom" video...but he wound up in a couple of frames and it was pretty telling as he "prompted" Anna TWICE to say that this is what Anna left on her mother's Answering Machine.
In other words, the drama should have been on the machine and not in the video. It was already history. Howard was just making sure the whole world know "her wishes".
Must be that Howard messed up the recording of the phone call and I don't believe that Virgie has EVER mentioned receiving that message. It may be, however, that she pulled the tape and put it away for safekeeping. I hope so because I'd guess it is appreciably different.
“””Howard was just making sure the whole world..”””
Overkill!
Everything he has exposed to the light of day demonstrates his diabolical, inhumane treatment of a woman he “loved” and her son who “was like a brother”.
Even if Anna was angry with her mother, it was not *his* business to destroy Virgie by isolation, dirty tricks and slander! He was not related by marriage and surely, any *legal* representation was nullified by his admission of a *personal* relationship.
darnit, did they tape it do you know?
They were made specifically to show why Anna was "estranged" from both of them....which in reality....explains no trace of conversations between them.
Who got the ball rolling to have Danny come to the hospital? You would think that Anna and Danny would have talked previous to the trip...but there's not the least inkling that occurred. In other words....It was a "surprise" for Anna.
The there's that "way out" statement from Howard that Danny said on the way to the hospital: "He couldn't believe he had a blood relative". Yeh, we all say that!!
By the way....Since when does an illegitimate child get the name of the "Sperm Donor". There had to be an action to take that as a "legal name". The baby's name should have been: "Dannielynn Hope Smith. Note that Anna says she is "Smith" and a widow on the original birth certificate.

Whatever, "Today Show" now looks really, really bad. All they had to do to avoid legal problems was not to support one way or another the allegations and let Howie respond.
Anyway, I had no idea until this weekend that Rita Cosby was writing this book. Must say, the allegation did not come a huge surprise.
I went on myspace (I am not a member) but did not find the blog on Howie.
His sis states she does not want kids. So what's with the "over our dead body" regarding Dannielynn? And there were pictures on her page of disrespect to our flag.
I caught the TV show “Extra!” in the wee hours this morning and they said they would have a segment today on the “controversial new Anna Nicole book.”
That program has a new time slot on our local station, moving from the wee hours to 4:30PM today, following our earliest local news program, so I *may* catch it if it doesn’t storm - which it probably will.
Also, Access Hollywood in the wee hours said something about the book and that Larry will be suing. Their segment is also supposed to be aired today, but the one that is shown in about an hour is the same one shown this AM - so, the Tue show will be on tomorrow.
The ET weeklong birthday coverage marches on, evidently. A rerun of last night’s program sneaked up on me while I was waiting for my regular Andy Griffith rerun to come on, lol.
Did Howard Stern really show up for the birthday party? Was it a kiddie party or a photo-op?
Dunno. I guess the party has already been? It’s impossible to tell the actual real-time of ET happenings, because they tape stuff and then drag it out months later, saying it was “lost.”
I forgot what date was on the “holding court” princess invites, as I was not exactly paying attention. I’m sure it coincided with whenever ET and Dolly could be there.
Her actual birthday is this Friday, but I do remember it was going to be held early. I can’t for the life of me imagine what ET is going to do every day for 5 days to cover this - or 4 days, now that Monday is gone.
The most repulsive part is the screaming “multi-million-dollar mansion” headline they repeat over and over again in promos. Gimme a break!
But Howard's parents have been almost "non-existent" from the beginning. Does he have a hidden past?
I expected old school mates, old girlfriends to show up at the door of some of these Shock Magazines and/or people to be interviewed about Howard. What put them off??
One guess!! Wonder how much the photo op was worth.
I have Internet Security, SpySweeper, RegSweeper, Ad Aware, and Adware Alert on my computer, plus whatever Microsoft installs, and, so far, I have not encountered any problems with viruses or spies etc.
Incidentally, Moe was listed as one of Howard's friends. One of Moe's friends had written that she was sorry about his book - she had looked forward to reading it. That sounds like his book has been canceled or put on hold, doesn't it?
Has Larry’s “biological” mother ever been quoted or photographed with DannieLynn? We’ve seen and heard from the step-mom, but I don’t recall seeing or hearing from the first Mrs. Birkhead.
I don’t think so...I’ll check wiki
Latest news has Larry Birkhead threatening to sue MSNBC because Rita got material for her book while working for them or something like it. This story is getting wilder and wilder.
Look carefully and you'll see that Howard has put Larry in the same position as he had put Anna...Isolated and dependent.
And as usual, I'd guess that Howard has interesting photos of Moe stashed...so who knows.
Looks like Birkhead’s dad is on No. 3 from wiki unless i’m reading it wrong.
