Opri: The Lobster Plot Thickens
Asteaming Debra Opri took to the airwaves today to defend the $620,492.84 bill she gave to her former client, Larry Birkhead, which TMZ first published.
The crustacean combatant would not get into specifics when talking with CourtTV’s Jami Floyd, but did address the issue of the $600 she billed Birkhead for lobsters. Opri maintains that the bill TMZ published was “not complete,” and that Larry would “happily” pay the bill. We’ll see about that.
Opri also said that she feels like a proud parent today because “Larry is going to take that child home.” We’ll find out soon enough!
I may be in the minority, but I really dislike that woman.
Virgie Arthur — NOT Mother of the Year
We’re told Virgie Arthur will be fighting for custody of Dannielynn, whether Birkhead is the dad or not. But when it comes to Arthur’s track record in child rearing, it’s pretty clear she won’t win any awards.
Rewind to 1993. Arthur’s son, Donald Ray Hart Jr, then 21-years-old, was busted in Conroe, Texas. But it was anything but an ordinary arrest. Hart was charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with three friends. The victim — a 33-year-old paraplegic. The abducted woman watched in horror as her kidnappers waived a butcher knife in her direction, and discussed plans to murder her. An informant’s tip foiled the plot.
Hart pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison.
But that’s not all. Hart was also convicted of theft — he pled guilty to stealing a bunch of livestock.
By the way, Arthur’s daughter, Anna Nicole, also hated her. So is Arthur the best candidate for custody? You be the judge.

The ‘fictious’ scenario Opri set up for the lobster expenditure sounded reasonable to me.
IF you are a GUEST in someone’s home, it would be a gracious act to ‘repay’ them in a way some might consider extravagant.
