Exclusive: Howard K. Stern Talks Father’s Day; Larry Birkhead Plans Special Day for Dannielynn; Mystery Flowers on Anna’s Grave…
By Art Harris, (c) The Bald Truth, all rights reserved
It will be a poignant first Father’s Day for Dannielynn, the first one with her new Dad, Larry Birkhead, who’s busy fixing up the Studio City house, new paint, new carpets, baby-proofing, to raise his little girl the way Anna would have wanted, friends tell me, …and the first time Anna Nicole hasn’t played Dad for her children on Father’s Day.
“Anna saw herself as both mother and father to Daniel,” Howard K. Stern is telling me in an emotional late night call from the Bahamas, before taking off to spend Sunday with his own father and family in California. “Everyone used to get her cards and presents and flowers. Just like we did on Mother’s Day. ”
Her favorites were lilies, Stargazers and pink roses, he’s saying. And before he flew home to also meet with probate lawyers for the June 19 hearing that’s expected to name Stern executor and Birkhead guardian of the estate, Stern made a private visit to the Bahamas cemetery to leave flowers on Anna’s grave, next to her late son, Daniel, the same flowers they used to pick out for Anna together.
“Daniel gave her a painting he’d done on the last Father’s Day they spent together,” says Stern. “He spent the day with his mother, and it was really special to her. The family was there, even Larry (Birkhead) came by.”
Nowadays, Stern usually visits Anna and Daniel alone, at odd hours, to avoid paparazzi on Horizons’ watch, so he can weep privately for the woman he loved and managed for almost 11 years, whose career he helped turn around, and the quiet, blond-haired boy he mentored who, friends tell me, looked up to Stern as a father figure.
“I loved Daniel,” he says. “We spent a lot of time together. I watched him grow up…Anyone who knows how we were knows that. It’s sickening to hear what some people who don’t know what happened are saying. But the truth will come out.”
“If Daniel wanted to go to the movies or to get food, Howard went with him,” says his sister, Bonnie Stern in Los Angeles. “Howard took him to buy clothes or video games, just normal things a Dad would do.”
It’s the story few want to hear, says Stern, reluctant to delve into the relentless talk show attacks against him as the “designated bad guy,” or share his private grief in a savage media arena. He’s grown thick skin, he says. “Anna understood it because she rarely got a break in the press,” he says. “She used to say, ‘If I were a nun, they’d accuse me of (sleeping with) the Pope.'”
“The year before last, Daniel spent the day with her and painted her a picture,” he recalls. “Larry was there, too, with the whole family, and we all got her cards because she loved Father’s Day.”
With little or no contact between Daniel and his Texas biodad, Anna took on the role of father and mother, says Stern, for better or worse. Friends believe Daniel’s death was her tipping point.
Over his strained voice, I can hear dogs yapping and growling, as Stern takes a minute to referee the squabble between Sugar Pie, Frankie, Marylin and Puppy, Anna’s beloved dogs. “They’re the only connection I’ve got to her now that Dannielynn is gone,” he says, reluctant to leave them to others to care for while he’s gone. They sleep on the bed with him at night, he says, as they did with Anna, and keep him up fighting to get close. He doesn’t mind.
Stern rarely sleeps, tells me he dozes off in the early morning for a couple of hours, before getting back on the phone with lawyers over issues with the house, the estate, the looming inquest, conferring with Larry about what’s best for Dannielynn. On Father’s Day, two men, once at odds, who both love a little girl, and grieve a loss.
He says they are working together to make sure her life is safe and secure, as Anna would have wanted. And he’s hoping he’ll get the only present he really wants–a chance to see and hold Dannielynn one more time. “The only thing better would be for Anna and Daniel to be here.”

HOWARD
SOME OF US THAT HAVE LOST WHAT YOU HAVE LOST FEEL YOUR PAIN. I REALLY BELIEVE ANNA LOVED YOU. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AN PLEASE FEEL BLESSED BY THE TIME THAT YOU HAD WITH HER. THATS YOUR TIME, AND NO ONE ELSE CAN CLAIM THAT TIME FOR THEIR SELF, CAN THEY. IN THE END, SHE WAS YOURS, NO ONE HAD HER HEART BUT YOU. THATS WHAT TO REMEMBER BUT PLEASE DON'T GET LOST IN IT. AS A WIDOW OF NINE YEARS THE ADVISE COMES FROM KNOWLEDGE. TOO BAD I COULDN'T TAKE MY OWN ADVISE! ITS HARD ALL I CAN SAY IS GOD BLESS YOU…
BE WITH YOUR FAMILY, AND FRIENDS THAT YOU CAN TALK TO. BE WITH THE ONES THAT BUILD YOU UP. NEVER ACCEPT NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM ANYONE. THEY HAVE NOT WALKED IN YOUR SHOES.
ALSO YOUR A HUNK DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS!! "IIKE YOU SAID ONLY YOU AND ANNA REALLY KNOW".
June 16th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Heartbreaking, but thank you for publishing your conversation.
June 16th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Dear Art,
It was good to finally hear somthing from Mr. Stern, and to know Sugar Pie is alright!
Odd, when I first looked at the photo of Dannielynn and Larry, I thought that was a square halo…what is that thing above Larry’s head?
Anyway, thanks Art.
June 16th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Oh Art thank you so much…I can’t post much right now for my tears… so will post more later…
Howard I’m Praying you will have a wonderful day with your Dad tomorrow…and that you will get to hold little DannieLynn in your arms…Take care…
June 16th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
It’s so good to hear something from Howard. I’m glad to know he will be spending time with his family. My thoughts and prayers are with him. He’s a very brave man in my opinion to have weathered this storm so well. My hope is that he will find peace in his life in the future. I can see why Anna loved and trusted him so much.
June 16th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
What family was there? You mean the kling-ons who hung around all the time? Where was Danny’s FATHER? Did Anna keep him away like she tried to keep Birkhead away?
Is LB really 19 year old in a 34 year old body? Why the hell would he need to check with Stern to find out what’s best for his daughter? I think those 2 are working together for the sake of Dannilynns money. If LB was a real man, he would not be cozying up with Stern, for any damn amount of money.
And the dogs slept in the bed with Anna? Not us, Anna? So the madly in love attorney/client affair had seperate beds? Ha Ha Ha.
June 16th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
What a way for Howard to express his love for Daniel and Anna. Thanks for sharing how they spent Father’s Day. I only hope he gets some pleasure in spending time with his father Sunday. I just don’t have words to express how this touched me.
June 16th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
DEAR ART, THIS IS HEART BREAKING. THANK YOU, J
June 16th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
So sad for HKS
I hope he sees Dannielynn soon, I think it will help him feel better.
Blessings to you Howard

June 16th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Thanks, Art. So nice to read something about Howard without the bashing.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
I hate that Howard has been so abused by people. The man has had to endure more heartbreak than any one person should ever have to. I hope Larry allows him to be in Dannielynn’s life in some capacity.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Oh please Art, has Stern doubled your salary? I can see it now, ET and Insider ” Dannilynnes First Fathers Day with Uncle Howie”…the man who kept her from her bio father, the man who filmed the clown video and sat back and did nothing as her mother descended into addiction hell!
Maybe on Fathers Day… Stern will understand honor thy father and thy mother and reflect that defiling Virgie in church at her own daughters funeral, was inappropriate and spoke fathoms of the depths of his ability to hate and to milk the media for no benefit other than his own.
Art are you a father? Do you have a mother? Would your mother have fought for you not to be put in the ground by a non family member who was never Anna’s husband, rather her best friend? Would you condone the Clown Video if it were your daughter you were watching?
Maybe it is time to stop trying to SELL Howard K Stern to the world. The majority ain’t buying it!
Lucas:
Always a delight to hear from you and hear you are full of your usual oat bran. Hate to disappoint, but this was on my own time, pal., and I’m about to share something with you that I was saving as a scoop, but will deputize you to get to the bottom of it:
The clown video was heavily edited, an hour tape that either Ford Shelley cut down and leaked out of context, or FOX did. First time I saw it, found it very disturbing, then learned it was a typical play with Anna afternoon for Riley, Ford and Gina’s daughter, and she would slip in and out of the same childlike persona and character she played in Aliens, the b movie she did. You watch it and compare it to the Clown tape and it’s identical in space queen Out There, but it was AN ACT, I’m told.
Also, in acting Waaaaaauy Out There, she was trying to spook Riley out of certain behaviours; now, be logical, if you suspected your good friend was gobbling pills and mushrooms, would you let your daughter go hang out like the Shelleys? I don’t think so. And what would be the incentive to create this impression of a drug-pushing Svengali if you were FS? What if you were engaged in a bitter court battle for property you thought you owned, but didn’t, and needed to create a climate of public opinion, and influence a jury pool against Stern…What better way than to edit the Clown Video into an indictment, when in its entirety it exonerates Stern, shows Anna was a pretty convincing gooftress who was acting and demonstrates the power of a media that needs to go the extra mile to vet the agendas of sources and question whether video it receives has been spliced and diced.
Most major news organizations study and hold terrorist videos before airing, conferring with the CIA and others and reporting motive and source. Why didn’t FOX do that?
So, Lucas, bravo if you can locate the original clown tape…If you are working with OQuinn or Shelley, get ’em to come clean and pony up if they dare.
Now, I ask, if it’s true and you saw it and it told a different story, are you prepared to look at this with different glasses?
And, if you dare, please tell us your affiliation to Virgie and others working her case.
Oh, and I’m a father of two, have a wonderful mother, thank God, and would trust they’d go the extra mile to recover everything that was stolen from my house that might offer hints on the real story…
Peace.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
This interview actually brought tears to my eyes. I pray that Howard finds peace and that DL never forgets the man who loved her, her mother and her brother with his whole being.
Howard my prayers are with you today. You are the one who truly has been hurt the most in his whole mess and the one who really doesn’t deserve to be.
God Bless!

June 16th, 2007 at 8:29 pm
I’ve believed in you Howard, from the start. Have lived a similar circumstance, although not in the media spotlight. Stay strong – you do have a following that respects you.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Art, I agree with the above post – you are "the trusted one". So wonderful to hear from Howard – thanks to you. I hope he knows that there are many, many, many of us who respect, support and have grown to love him for being the kind of person that he is. Anna was indeed a very lucky girl. About Lucus post…….. While reading I kept wondering too about his affiliation with Virgie and others "working her case. Happy Father's day to Howard. I also see Dannielynn as your little girl.
June 16th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
now i’m really sad for Howard 🙁
June 16th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
oh,art that just breaks my heart!!! poor guy i just want to give him a big old hug!! and i hope people will take a step back to give this man time to grive and do the stuff he has to do for little dannielynn!! howard bless you and you are in my paryers. you to art for doing the right thing.

June 16th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
Oh Art, thank you so much for this story. We’ve all been wanting to hear from Howard. He says “It’s the story few people want to hear”, but Howard, if you read this, please know that there are many that want to hear whatever you want to say. I don’t think you realize how many people love and support you, even though we’ve never even met you.
It’s the nastiest people that seem to be heard the loudest, but that doesn’t mean they are in the majority. If you only knew how many have been following this and working so hard, trying to get others to hear our voice, and yours.
Art Harris has been a very big voice and we are so glad to have this site to learn the truth. And Art I know I can speak for everyone else here, that we are grateful to you for all you have investigated and written about, but especially this one, where you’ve actually talked to Howard K. Stern. Thank you very much.
Howard, my heart goes out to you. I wish you weren’t alone so much of the time. I hope so much you will get to hold that dear little girl that I know you love as your very own ( and I still see her that way) and cared for her for the first 7 months of her life. I’m sure she’ll be delighted to see you and I know she’ll remember you. What a wonderful reunion that will be. I hope you have a good Father’s Day with your family. Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers dear one.
Art, I have no idea if you are a father, but if you are, then I hope you have a great Father’s Day and if you aren’t, well have a great one anyway lol. You’ve earned it.
Thanks again Art.
Hugs,
Joan S.
June 16th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
Beautiful and moving in it’s simplicity. I am glad he shared this brief insight with you Art into his private life. It is sad for a man that wanted only privacy and to rebuild Anna’s career that he has now finds him self forced into a very public life. I hope, that all will remember this is a man that lost three people he loved very much in less than eight months. No one should have to go through that, and especially under the lights of tabloid media, aptly named infotainment.

June 16th, 2007 at 9:21 pm
awwww Art, I dont know how many times I feel compelled to tell you how amazing you are, how your reports of facts bring to light the truth so many deny.
But this article, this exclusive is beyond profound, not only of H. Sterns grief that brings many (including myself) to tears, but echos YOU BEING THE TRUSTED ONE !
Many could never comprehend what Howard is going through, to the extent many would never wish it upon their worst enemy. Sadly this man has receive NO COMPASSION since Anna’s death, Howard has not been acknowledge for the GOOD HE DID DO ! Nor do many realize that he has been dealt far worse then Anna had with a double edged sword. With both men working together for the greater good of an innocent child, shows many that a day of peace will arrive, and they are an image to rule by, they have set a new “bar” for unconditional love, unselfishly giving of another for the greater good.
With this, what you have brought to your faithful readers is NOT just another piece of Art 😉 it is a melody to all hearts that ache with compassion for a man that loved with his all, and has been left to pick up the pieces alone.
Thank you Art … there isnt much else left to say ….
THANK YOU… & To Howard, may your nites get easier, may your heart hurt less, and may a day arrive where EVERYONE see the truth for what it is… Sending gentle hugs to you.

Art,
thank you for the update on Howard, even though i don’t know Howard personally, i feel for his loss. My heart goes out to him and his family i cannot even imagine his pain.
P.S. Art ,in your article you said Howard would love to see and hold Dannielynn one more time , In one of Larry’s interviews i was under the assumption that Larry would let Howard see the baby am i wrong , cuz that would be a shame.
June 16th, 2007 at 11:17 pm
Dear Art,
Thanks so much for letting us hear from Howard and Im glad he is hanging in there. Howard, Anna loved you everyone could tell how close you were, funeral was beautiful and thoughtful. So sad to see you are still grieving but thats normal and might last awhilw. Hang in there! Alot of people like you and believe in you. Please enjoy Fathers Day with your Dad. Hope you have a nice one with your whole family, they seem like nice people.
June 16th, 2007 at 11:21 pm
Mr. Harris,
Please let’s at least maintain the pretense of journalistic integrity concerning this story. Your reply to Lucas, to locate the “clown video” reveals much. If you haven’t seen nor located the original video, then pray tell – How would you have the slightest idea what is on it?
Why would you be willing to put your reputation on the line to defend Howard K. Stern? We know he lied repeatedly. Did he tell you that he was the father? Did you believe him? Did he tell you that Anna had not used Methadone recently? Did you believe him?
I’m sorry that your career has sunk to this level.
Lorraine:
Thanks for the sentiment, but no need to feel sorry for me.
I’m fascinated by the story, and, yes, have spoken with people who were at the house when the video was shot, and know what was on it, so let’s keep fingers crossed it can be recovered with the stolen property and you can see it for yourself.
There’s more to come about the methadone and a paper trail about the baby that suggests you may want to withhold your final judgment.
But that’s up to you.
Keep reading and writing. Always nice to hear from you.

It is such a relief to see that HKS will spend time w/ his parents who seems to love him alot(grieving alone for an extended time is not good). I was not aware that right after ANS died, He stayed in bed at the hotel and refused to eat. Knowing that ANS considered herself MOM/DAD to Daniel made me feel for her more. Fathers Day must have been very interesting for her. I, like many ppl, sure is relieved that Sugarpie is ok. Animal lovers, such as myself, wud love to see a current picture of that dog. I wonder if ANS et. al. realized that Sugarpie was a scene stealer. Sugarpie shud have gotten a show on Animal Planet(that dog was a hoot). I digress, i am hoping that at some point in the near distant future(sooner rather than later) HKS will find a significant other to share the rest of his life w/, while at the same time honoring ANS memory. I believe that he showed the patience(of Job), kindness, love, respect, loyalty that many women have been looking for in a man. I want him to have many children w/ this person and move his life forward. I remember how he tried to show dignity and respect to a deceased woman in FLA and Bahamas while others were not. One incident was in the Fla courtroom where he was naming the alias that ANS used while checking into hotel and the courtroom erupted into loud laughter(HKS did not crack a smile–i know why-neither did i). When mentioning memories of ANS, VA remembered when they wud do their nails together, LB remembered her stealing Ketchup packets(my editing). I hope that you can oneday tell Danielynn about ANS’ pets/her charities work/her paintings/her generosity/her innermost feelings/her and your love for Daniel/ her wish for a better childhood for Danielynn/and those few months that the 3 of you had together before her passing. How for the first time in a long time, prior to Daniel’s death, ANS cud finally walk around town or on the beach in the Bahamas w/o being harassed by the stalkarazzis. Good luck to everyone.
June 16th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
ALSO – ART – THANK YOU SO MUCH for spreading the truth about the edited video. I hope HKS goes after GBT and FS for criminally for the theft and civil actions as well for the damage of his reputation !!
June 16th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Art,
That was a great story. Thanks so much for the update on Howard. There are many of us who know the mess on tv is ridiculous. The media have tried to ruin this man for ratings.Hopefully, you will give us updates more often. Thanks for taking the time to look at the BIG picture instead of not investigating the story like the TH’s heads have. Has Howard been able to recover any of the items that the Shelley Clan have stolen? Howard will always be DL’s father in my eyes, I know he will always be looking out for her as his own. In my eyes, DL will always have two fathers, which will make her a lucky girl.
Thanks,
Helen
June 16th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
Happy Father’s Day!!!
June 16th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Many thanks to you Art, for being someone that finds the TRUTH, then is not afraid to stand by what he knows is right.
You made my day today, unheld something that I have known since this all started.
I want to thank Howard also for opening up and also sharing this small glimpse into their life together. I know there are many, many more things like this that made your love for each other strong and enduring. You will always have these to remember and pull you thru the hard times. The time will come when it doesnt hurt so much. Really it
will. There are many of out here sending our thoughts and prayers to you. I hope that you will be able to see the baby, and give her big hugs.
There are many of us that may not be a blood relative to these children and grandchildren of ours, but it takes a lots more than blood to make a mother, father, grand parent.
Like Hillary wrote in her book, It takes a village to raise a child.
When I first saw the ‘clown’ clip, my first thought was how sweet of Anna to play with Riley this way. Children know when someone is ‘for real’ not just putting up with them, or passing them off as infants. Riley will have happy memories of the time she spent with Anna.
Happy Fathers to both of you Art and Howard. Wanda
June 16th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Thank you so much Art for this. I have wondered how Howard is doing. All I could do was cry when I read this. I hope that Howard is able to focus on the love and joy from his years with Anna, Daniel, and little Danielynn. There are so many positives to hold on to.
No matter the evil things said, I hope he knows that the majority do not feel this way or fell for the atrocious things that Virgie Arthur put out there with the help of media outlets and her attorney who is lacking in many areas.
Howard, just know that we are wise, and we know the harm Anna suffered at her mother’s hand, and the same suffering that has been bestowed to you by the same woman, and you are brave and loved her daughter more than she ever did.
Enjoy your family this weekend. I hope there’s a pit stop in Studio City to see that sweet babe. Many blessings and prayers are sent your way.

Bless your Art, for being the man and investigative journalist that you are. You bring honor to your family and to your profession. It was because he knew he could trust you that Howard has opened up to you. He has needed to have that poignant conversation with you, every bit as much as we needed to share in it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Whenever I see the manner in which Howard conducts himself, I am reminded of the following Bible passage.
“Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”
Happy Fathers Day to both you and Howard, and may you experience an outpouring of grace, peace and love in your lives.
Thanks Much Art…Dani MarieBernadette

Art, tell Lucas to take some valium and calm the hell down. He must have drank the freaking kool-aid. The clown/smown video shown was a cut/paste job(Danielynn looks healthy and pretty). Yet another fake so-called friend of ANS stabbing her in the back(FS sured thought that she was trustworthy to leave his young child alone w/ her huh). Plus, i have heard about other parts of what else is on that tape which makes Lucas’ fake outrage a big fat red herring. I tend to go on and on. Believe it or not, this entry was meant to just wish Art and other fathers out there (yes, even LB) a HAPPY, HEALTHY FATHERS DAY.
June 17th, 2007 at 12:13 am
Art. Thanks so much for the words from HKS Those of us supporting him were waiting for him to come out and say something and this is the right time, I noticed a bit about ANS dogs in the background. The reason I bring this up is the anti stern people keep sayin they were dead that HKS had something to do with it. Just goes to show how people lie and make up things. Your anwser to Lucas was right on.
Good luck Howard and have a good day with your family and I hope you also get to see and hold dannilynn,but watch out for VA PI’s
June 17th, 2007 at 12:13 am
What a bunch of fakes, a bunch of crap STERNOIDS. This guy destroyd the lives of Ana and Daniel and almost killed the baby enabling drugs on Anna when she was 8 months pregnant. Stern is a very evil man.
The only love Stern has for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, now he is buddying up with weak eaxy to manipulate Larry just for the money making possibilities. For Stern the baby was just an assurance of keeping any $$$$$$$$. Stern is a mureder. 97% 0f people believe STERN IS GUILTY of killing Daniel and Anna TIL PROVEN INOCENT, something Stern will never be able to prove. Hope the inquest brings justice to DAniel and the world wishes Vergie will eventually get some joint baby custody and thus burts Stern evil $$$$$ buble with Larry. The only victim here is the baby having an inmature father needing a criminal to make any decisions for the sake of the baby. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!
Justice:
Please forward information on your 97 per cent poll, fascinating.
You know, to hear some posters tell it, lynchmobbers sit around, regurgitate fiction to justify hatred: Stern killed Anna, he killed Daniel, he killed Sugar Pie…yadayadayada. You guys must be home-schooling each other.
Why not join a rock band like the demagogues of blogville. Last Big Hit was “I love brainwashing you.” Then there was, “Lies Will Set You Free;” had a great line, “baby, baby, where did your hate go?”
Hating Howard or Larry, well, maybe it’s better than feeling nothing.
Multiple choice. I prefer:
1. knitting;
2. tying a hangman’s noose.
Thanks for writing. I love your passion, however misplaced.

Art,
Thank you so much for posting this interview. There are truly many people who care a great deal about the Stern family and what they have been through.
What Howard has endured has been beyond egregious – a living hell on earth. If anyone can claim to have faced the devil, it’s him. I genuinely wonder how he survives day to day with the weight of his losses. While I am so very happy to read your interview, it has also crushed my heart. His grief is palatable. Sadly, “life does pull you forward” in mourning.I hope Howard has reached a place in time where grace intervenes in the darkest moments.
The media who encouraged the witch hunt for ratings and crucified Howard at the altar of their making should pay through the nose for the extended assault which inflicted deliberate and excruciating pain and suffering. Greta Van Susteren should publicly apologize to him for hiding behind the cloak of an interviewers badge while inciting public riot against the man.
There will be detractors no doubt..yet a small legion of supporters have been here from the beginning – in the chat rooms, on focused message boards and in internet centers writing letters in his defense in multiple countries. For us, Howard has never been the guy portrayed in the media. He has been a silent, strong, brilliant,loyal and gentle man who honored his commitments and stayed true to someone he loved. His actions spoke volumes about who he is as a person.
In his grief, I really hope and pray he will find some measure of peace. It’s wonderful to know he is still acting from a place of love for the innocent child left behind by someone he cared for so deeply.
Here’s a personal “Happy Father’s Day” to Howard:
Howard, it’s not biology that makes you a parent..it’s love and concern in the absence of biology. In my book, and in many other hearts, you did so much to insure that tiny baby was loved, protected and secure until it was time to let her go. Like Anna, you were both Mom and Dad for a short while and you did an outstanding job. Never let doubt tackle your soul – you are precious – Dannielynn was always in the best of care while with you.
Thanks Art for the GREATEST SOURCE OF UNBIASED NEWS EVER and Happy Fathers Day to you as well.
June 17th, 2007 at 12:35 am
Why don’t these people who know what was on the tape come forward, and demand to be heard by the press, instead of letting people continue to hold that edited tape up as proof that Howard was the “bad guy” who kept Anna drugged?
On another blog there is a big issue being made and people saying that Anna did indeed want Daniel buried in California. They are very convincing and if I hadn’t heard Anna’s friends explain what actually happened with my own ears, I might actually get sucked into believing it. It’s horrifying that there is so much hate out there, and so many people eager to continue to spread lies. Thankfully there are people disputing those lies, without hatred, and that’s refreshing to see.
I’m glad to hear that Howard will be spending time with his family and I hope that very soon the whole truth will come out and people with so much hate in their hearts for Howard will be silenced by that truth.

I was so moved by this article it bought tears to my eyes,I,m sure that Howard will be able to see Dannielynn Larry said he will be in Dannielynn,s life because that is what Anna would,ve wanted.I,m also glad that Larry and Howard are working together for the benefit of Dannielynn,that is what she needs I,m sure Howard will continue to play a role in Dannielynn,s upbringing and that can only be a good thing for all concerned.I,m just hoping that they can manage to keep Virgie away so they can all live a happy and peacefull life,thank you so much Art for sharing this with us.I wish you a very safe and Happy Fathers Day.
June 17th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Howard, my heart goes out to you. Being along is a horrible thing, but life does go on. With each day that passes, the pain and sorrow of losing those you loved will began to fade. So, I say to you, be the best person you can be. Thank God for the time you had with Anna and the wonderful memories the two of you shared. You were a good father to Daniel and Danielynn, no one can take that away from you. Keep yourself together so you can be there for Danielynn should she ever need you in the future. Have a great day with your Dad.
June 17th, 2007 at 1:28 am
Could it simply be that Anna didn’t really believe he loved her?
June 17th, 2007 at 1:38 am
Howard-
If you happen to read this, I just want you to know that there really are people out there that support you!! 100%!!
Our hearts have broken from everything you have been through!! We know that you loved Anna and Anna loved you!!
I have often wondered why God has decided to put you through this and I just dont know. I don’t get it. Its not fair and its not right. Simply with just what you went through in Fla. showed me what a good man you are. And how much you truly loved Anna.
I pray for you everyday and I pray for your day of justice.
I never believed that stupidass clown video (I didnt make any sense. “Hey. Theres my woman. She’s high as a kite and 8 months pregnant. Im going to video tape her now.” )
Promise all of those who support you that once you get your hands on the full version of the clown video you gonna shove it up a certain person’s ass!! ( I can’t WAIT for that!!)
We love you Howard, Please know that.

I am happy for Larry. He is the father and should be a good example for the baby. I still do not like Howard K Stern and I have the freedom to feel that way. I think he really loved Anna but I don’t think she felt that way about him. Its to bad that she can’t tell her story with out being on her prescription drugs. Only God in Heaven knows the complete story about all this. I am glad he is the judge.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your reply to Lucas, the incendiary monster.
June 17th, 2007 at 2:27 am
I will say again, people will stoop to their lowest to be in the spot light. Good Luck Mr. Harris
June 17th, 2007 at 2:32 am
doesn’t matter if I am posted or not, but Howard and Larry needs to pray for themselfs and everyone that is lying about Virgie with no respect at all, again that was Anna’s mother.
June 17th, 2007 at 2:46 am
Art,
Thank You for writing this article about Howard. As a supporter of Howard, it was a difficult read.
GVS, NG, Geraldo, etc. tried to destroy him with their sensationalism. How cruel and disgusting to kick a man when he is down so they can get their ratings. I have read so many ridiculous posts over the Internet it is almost laughable. How do these people know what went on between Anna and Howard. Howard haters out there, were you a bug on the wall?
“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Howard, you have so many people, that you don’t know who care about you and pray for you. Hang in there.
June 17th, 2007 at 3:57 am
MAYBE SOMEONE HAS TO LOSS A PERSON CLOSE TO THEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW MR STERN FEELS,I HAVE NOTICED THAT PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF HATE IN THEM.VIRGIE AND OQ HAVE DONE THERE JOB WELL.I MYSELF AND I AM SURE MOST PEOPLE WRITING IN HAVE NOT THE LIFE STYLE OF THE HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE,IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND,AND STOP BEING SO SELF RIGHTOUS. THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO WITH AND MOST OF US WISH WE HAD THE MONEY TO DO AND LIVE THE STYLE OF THE RICH .SO YOU WRITE IN AND TELL PEOPLE HOW,TO LIVE PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT YOUR HAPPY LIFE AND YOU WOULD NOT DO THE THINGS THAT ANNA HAS DONE,VIRGIE WAS SO HAPPY THINKING HOWARD HAD LOST EVERYTHING,WELL VIRGIE AND FRIENDS,HE HAS NOT.LARRY AND HIM ARE WORKING TOGETHER,HE HAS A LOT OF WORK HE IS DOING FOR HIS OWN CASE ,AND HE IS YOUNG ENOUGH TO HAVE A NEW START IN THIS LIFETIME,AND HE CAN THINK OF THE GOOD TIME HE HAD WITH ANNA AND SON,SO HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO HOWARD AND LARRY.
June 17th, 2007 at 4:03 am
Finally someone takes the time to tell all of us who loved Anna and Howard how Howard is doing! I have wondered and prayed every day since this tragedy happened just why the man who was beside Anna for so many years has been pushed aside and forgotten. Howard, if you are reading this, hang in there the truth will one day finally come out. Your loyalty, devotaion and love for Anna has been seen by the ones who really care. Sticks and stone, but words will never hurt you! Love and Paryers always…………

Howard I hope you rot in Jail you (deleted) coniving (deleted) Murderer, and as for you ART you are feeding us with all this (deleted)– and you support a murderer.
I do not believe any of this (deleted)– Howard murdered ANNA and Daniel – period……………to prove us all wrong Howie..walk away and leave alone, start a new life and stop living off women – you useless ——- (deleted) …………
Karen:
Where did you go to charm school?
Pardon the deleteds, but who taught you all those big bad words?
Maybe you could be a contestant on the show, “Are You Smarter Thjan a 5th Grader?”
I meant First Grader.
It’s ok, you don’t have to sit in the corner for life, but you can visit us if you bring a note from your doctor that you are taking your meds, and have a bar of soap handy for your mouth. As for your brain, a transplant might help.
Last time I checked, no charges against Stern like you hoped for, and some talk shows were betting on. Even Larry is backing off his hyperbole…There could even be some $$ judgments in the future, that would force your patron saints to pay Howard K. Stern for defamation.
Not much anyone in these parts can do for you, Karen, except pray you get better. \
Sorry.
Oh, and conniving has two Ns.

Art, thanks for the update on Howard. Hope you have a Happy Fathers Day – and love your reply to Lucus!!!!
June 17th, 2007 at 6:29 am
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ART FOR THIS.
HOWARD, YOU HAVE TAKEN THE HIGH ROAD IN ALL OF THIS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT LB WILL LET YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GIRL.
YOU TOOK CARE OF ANNA FOR OVER 11 YEARS. EVEN LB SAID THAT ” ANNA DOES WHAT ANNA WANTS”.
YOU TOOK A FATHER ROLE FOR BOTH OF HER CHILDREN, NOT MANY MEN DO THAT.
PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
FOR THE NON HOWARD BELIEVERS: HE NEVER TOOK A DIME FROM HER!!!!!!!!!!! WORKED FOR NOTHING!!!!!
I HOPE YOU GET ANNAS HOME IN THE BAHAMAS, THOSE TWO FROM CAROLINA OR WHEREVER DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING AND THEY ARE IN IT FOR MONEY ONLY, UNLIKE YOU!
NOW IF THEY WIN THE HOSUE THEY WANT TO CASH IN FOR 9 MILLION MORE THAN IT IS WORTH..WRONG!!!!!!!
THE ONLY STATEMENT WE HOPE YOU MAKE ARE UPDATE ON HOW YOU ARE DOING..NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SAID.UNLESS YOU WANT IT SAID.
GREIVING IS A HARD THING. BUT….WE NEED TO BELIEVE AND I HATE THIS PHRASE.THAT THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE THEN WE ARE.
PLEASE TAKE CARE HOWARD….AND CELEBRATE FATHERS DAY FOR YOURSELF AS YOU WERE A FATHER TO BOTH CHILDREN. DANNILYNN HAS 2 WONDERFUL DADDYS..
June 17th, 2007 at 7:19 am
Art
Thanks for the info on Howard. My thoughts and prayers are with him.
Howard if Anna is watching from heaven she would be very proud of you. You were the only one that handled this with class. It was easy to see how much you loved and respected her. It seems like everything you did was in her best interest.
Nobody can take away the memories you have of Ann and Dannielynn. So enjoy today and hold on to the happy memories of you and Dannielynn.
Hope you have a wonderful father’s day with your own father and family.
Thanks for the update on Howard Art.You picked the appropiate day for letting his supporters know how he is doing.
June 17th, 2007 at 7:30 am
I love Howie is moving his lips again!!!
So tell me folks – Larry testified he hadn’t seen Anna after what, April? Now suddenly Howie had him seeing her THREE weeks into to June? Father’s Day 2006 was June 18th.
Very interesting!
Oh wait, Howie did catch himself it appears. LOL
He switches quickly to the year before last (after he thought about what he said) didn’t he? Gee, you mean Daniel didn’t see mom for Father’s Day last year? Hum, now why would that be? Wouldn’t have anything to do with the “Daniel hates me” email now would it?
Chaulk..good one 😀
The dogs slept with Anna.. LMAO! I LOVE it when Howie talks. Anna’s bed, Anna’s baby, Anna’s house, Anna’s money, Howie’s shoes. Did you catch how ‘Brother’ Howie is morphing into Father Howie for the emotional tear filled story? LMAO
Yes Howie, if Anna was a nun, the Pope .. well.. you knew her.. you know!
June 17th, 2007 at 7:31 am
Remember that the reason wars go on for eternity is because people get too entrenched in their positions and won't budge. – And no one ever wins!
PLEASE, for the sake of Dannielynn, let's unite in our support of both Larry and Howard. They really do need each other and they are inextricably bound together because there are so many matters to deal with.
I love and respect Larry but I got the sense in his interviews this past week that he is hesitating to state how close he and Howard have become because he is afraid that the PUBLIC won't approve. – The time has come for Larry to lead by example. He needs to STRONGLY STATE that he has come to understand Howard and SAY that Howard is welcome to be with Dannielynn. He needs to SAY how important Howard is in terms of putting Dannielynn's life in order.
Yes, Larry has said they are working together — but he is not saying ot loud enough to really hear. At this point, he needs to stop worrying about the people who might not like him if he is friends with Howard. Those would be narrow-minded people and not worth worrying about.
Larry and Howard are both in California at this moment. They will be going for the hearing on June 19… so WHY can't Howard stay with Larry and Dannielynn at Anna's house and WHY can't Howard be a vital part of Dannielynn's everyday life?
Maybe they are being secretive about their unity because of Virgie but it is time to show their unity in public. Maybe Art can do an interview of the two of them after the June 19 hearing.
I was VERY upset with Howard until Larry finally got custody – but the past has to be buried so the future can be the focus.
Thanks for a great article, Art! [WHAT happened about the Horizons house? Did Ford Shelley pay the $100,000 bond?]
June 17th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Hey Art,
Why don’t YOU as the hotshot investigative reporter just ask your buddy Greta for a copy of that Clown Tape? Why was Howard’s team the ONLY team fighting so hard in FL court to keep that tape out? Everyone else was fighting to play them ALL unedited.
And, so says you?
June 17th, 2007 at 7:42 am
Happy Father’s Day, Al Harris,
Happy Father’s Day, Howard K Stern!
Yes Howard you too are a father, you witnessed Dannielynn being born, heard her very first cries and giggles on this world, and you took good care of her.
Thank you, Al, for publishing this interview with Howard. Great to read that the doggies are still alive and barking away happily, for Howard-bashers had accused him of murdering these animals too.
Also, thank you for commenting on that infamous clown video.
Howard, take heart, your detractors were not able to poison everyone’s mind, you got a lot of emotional support! Yes, we are not as loud-mouthed as your detractors, and cannot spend hours and hours posting negativity about you, but we are here, and we wish you all the best, always.
Just realize that maintaining such blogs is not an easy job, the one I had opened up to add to your online support, was overwhelmed with spam and i had to close it down after just 3-4 days.
But Art Harris, Jane Devin, and QV never caved in under the pressure, and helped to get the momentum going on the side of Fair and Balanced.
Blessings to you and yours, Howard!
June 17th, 2007 at 8:14 am
Art, just wanted to wish you a happy fathers day!! hope its a good one for you!!

June 17th, 2007 at 8:33 am
What *other* people were at Horizons the day the clown video was shot? I never heard there were witness’s to such a traversty. Why havent they come forward and supported HKS story that she was only acting?
And how do you explain the infamous Xmas video, was Anna playing, yet another role?
June 17th, 2007 at 8:59 am
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO YOU! THANK YOU FOR THAT LOVELY PIECE ON HOWARD AND LARRY. THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL MEN AND I THINK LARRY HAS BEEN GRACIOUS,IS A WONDERFUL DAD AND TRULY BELIEVE HE WILL ALWAYS LET DANNIELYNNE BE A PART OF HOWARD’S LIFE. IN FACT MAYBE HE CAN GET TO SEE DANNIE WHILE IN CALIFORNIA. BOTH MEN LOVED THE SAME WOMAN AND I KNOW ANNA IS RESTING IN PEACE NOW WITH DANIEL SEEING THAT THINGS HAVE TURNED OUT THE WAY THEY HAVE.
I HAVE NO USE FOR FORD SHELLEY,HIS WIFE OR HER FATHER BEN THOMPSON. IF IT IS TRUE LARRY INTRODUCED THEM,I’M SHCOKED HE’D BE INVOLVED WITH THESE THRIEVES AND TROUBLEMAKERS. I HOPE AND PRAY HOWARD GETS TO KEEP THE HOUSE IN THE BAHAMA’S(HORIZON) AND THAT LARRY CAN KEEP ANNA’S HOME AND RAISE HIS LITTLE GIRL IN HER MOM’S HOME. THESE TWO MEN ARE THE ONLY ONE’S THAT TURNED OUT WORKING TOGETHER FOR DANNIE’S SAKE(NOT HER MONEY,I DOUBT SHE WILL EVER SEE A DIME OF THAT) AS FOR VIRGIE,LARRY WOULD HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO LET THIS TROUBLEMAKING TEXAN ANYWHERE AROUND DANNIE. I CAN SEE WHY ANNA FELT THE WAY SHE DID,GOD HELP POOR DANNIE IF SHE WERE AROUND THE TEAXAS MOB FAMILY.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS BEING HONEST.WE APPRECIATE YOU MORE THEN YOU KNOW 🙂
June 17th, 2007 at 9:05 am
CUT…
Good, next scene…..
That should have them reeled in, eh ?
BUT…
Stern has been lying for months.
If dear ART has spoken to those who were there at the ‘mushroom video’ I guess he means HOWARD or Riley….after all Anna is dead (unless he attended a seance)……sorry no amount of whitewashing will clear Stern…..good try though, you may have fooled those who are easily fooled…..but not those who think for themselves……..
10 out of 10 for effort !!!
June 17th, 2007 at 9:27 am
Hey, Art, if you believe this, I have a beach front property in Arizona for sell! Why don’t you interview the P.I. Daniel spoke to about his very real concerns about HKS’s control of Anna? Why don’t you address the issue of why he was not allowed to speak to his mother when he called her? Why don’t you ask Howard to explain the quip Daniels made to him after being teased about being a 19 year old virgin?…you do remember that one don’t you? It seems like in 12 years, everyone got a piece of Anna but Howard. Of course, in my opinion, dead men can’t tell tales, can they?
June 17th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Lucas,
You are not going to understand what Art is doing because this is a matter of the heart. You have to have a heart in order to understand. Howard K. Stern is a man who has lost everything. No matter what he has done and said he is a human being who has experienced tremendous loss. Just because he didn’t have the little piece of paper making him family doesn’t make the relationship with Anna any less emotional. He was with Anna for 12 years.
Oh and lets talk about Virgie the mother, please give us all a break Virgie was not a mother to Anna, she said so out of her own mouth. The funeral was held up for one hour because of Virgie trying to get a court order, real caring Mom. The funeral was what Anna wanted not Virgie.
Lucas, if David hasn’t found the smoking gun by now you guys need to give up and shut up. Maybe Howard is not the bad guy after all.
Dear Art,
Thanks for being a real decent human being and thanks for the update a lot of caring people were looking for that.
June 17th, 2007 at 9:34 am
For anyone who wants to see the clown video and hear HKS laughing at her stoned out of her mind and 8 months pregnant, go to youtube.com You will find it there!
June 17th, 2007 at 9:49 am
Howard since the reponse to Art via telephone I am thinking you may read the posts sometimes. So Howard please know we are out here defending your love and devotion for Anna, Daniel, and Dannilyn. We are here for you and me hoping one day you and Dannilyn can build sand castles together on the beach. You are one great guy and I have a title for the book I hope you write someday. “Anna, you and I know the truth”.
God Bless,
Janet
June 17th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Thanks for the update on this story, and especially about Mr. Stern. What a relief to know he is doing fine and on his way home to the USA and family and friends in California. So much for all the speculation–about the dogs, about Horizons, about Howard. Nothing like a little news from the horse’s mouth to end the backbiting and hearsay.
Good luck to Howard, Larry, Dannielynn and the families.
June 17th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Art you are telling this Lorraine that you talked to people who saw the mushroom tape (clown video) Now is that not speculating ? We are told by Wood not to speculate but you can as long as it helps Howard ?? Answer this very simpe question Art to see just how bias you are . Why did Howard if he truly loved Anna (not accusing anyone of anything ) not get her to a hospital with a fever of 105 ? Answer that instead of these pantsie articals that you write . Answer and or find out the hard stuff ? ……….imo
June 17th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Art, did you ask Howard whats going on in the bahamas regarding if G Ben put up the 100k to keep the suit going on?
June 17th, 2007 at 10:24 am
Thank you so much for the information on the clown video. I try mightly not to judge before I know the whole story and once again I’ve learned why that is so important. I truly hope that the original video can be located.
June 17th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Art,
Thanks again for reporting the TRUTH and for the update
on Howard…..
I wish him only the best and may God bless him and keep
him strong……

June 17th, 2007 at 11:29 am
Will we ever learn the truth? Every time Larry went back to the states he said he had to work on DL’s room. Where?
In a one bedroom apartment w a roommate? How long does it take? I know no one is perfect or pure evil but what was the reason Larry is doing all these talkshows? Right now I am very confused by Larry. He wants everyone to think he and ANS where soulmates and whould have gotten back together. Mr Harris, you seem to be the only reporter who is taking the time to see the whole picture. A few yrs ago I had a falling out with my sister. I KNOW I wasn’t 100% in the right, and she wasn’t 100% in the wrong but I tried to work things out but she will not even talk to me. Life is not black and white. To this day I don’t even know what she is mad at me about. That’s why I take every thing every one is saying with a little salt. It may not be worth writing a book about ANS but your one of the few people can trust with the turth.
June 17th, 2007 at 11:35 am
Mr Harris
when someone sends an email “your comment is waiting moderation” what does that mean?
June 17th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Mr. Harris-
I just wanted to quickly back up what you said to Lucas (#12). If you watch the final minute of the “Kentucky Derby” episode of the Anna Nicole Show in the second season, it shows a moment of Anna looking very confused and “out of it”. But if you look closley and happen to catch it, right before that moment really starts you can see Anna in fact acting normal and she Slips into acting out of it.
With everything that poor man has been through, I pray that Howard gets his day of justice.
June 17th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
I have always believed Howard’s only fault was loving Anna too much. It is hard to correct the behavior or even criticize someone you truly love. It is strange how people can not see how Larry uses his daughter for every photo opportunity that comes his way. The money seems to be what he cares about. Howard did not do this. After Anna’s death he protected Dannielynn’s privacy and did not exploit her. I have so much respect for him because of that. I feel Larry will use Dannielynn all her life to make his life what he thought his relationshipe with Anna was going to do for him. There was even an instant message posted in a magazine from Anna to a friend of hers. It seemed to indicate that Anna Larry was using her to pave his way to the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Dannielynn will now have to do for him what Anna finally refused to do. What a shame.
June 17th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
i feel sorry for howard and dannylynn and i wish him the best. thanks for sharing about how he is doing. What is going on with the house in the bahamma and have u heard anything on who really owns the house.
June 17th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
ART: “And, if you dare, please tell us your affiliation to Virgie and others working her case.”
Amazing how anyone who doesn’t see things Art’s way is either racist or part of some Virgie conspiracy. I think those mysterious ‘unknown source’ voices in Art’s head are starting to get to him.
As to the article….poor Howard, he only wants to hold the baby he tried to steal just one more time. And he’s working soooo hard trying to settle Anna’s affairs. In other words, trying to make money off her image while it’s still a hot commodity.
And wasn’t it just like Anna to think SHE deserved to be honored on Father’s day? If Howard was, as Aunt Bon Bon claims, like a father to Daniel as he grew up, why wasn’t he the receipient of the Father’s day gifts?
Since when is Larry DannieLynn’s ‘new’ father? He is her ONLY father and has been all along.
Pampster:
Last time I checked, recipient, had no e after the c.
Thanks for your note. Oh, and any marketing of Anna’s image belongs to the estate, for Dannielynn.
Happy Father’s Day.

June 17th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Any of you people that believe the crap that Art is spewing about the ‘clown video’… you’re all idiots. If you can’t see a drug addled woman when you see that video, I pray for your children. You people need to learn the physical signs of drug use. Anna’s pupils were extremely constricted in that video. She was HIGH! Hey Art.. ask your buddy Howard to explain the comments he made while he filmed “the love of his life” high on drugs two and a half weeks before she gave birth to what Howard would have liked us to believe was HIS child. “Worth money” indeed. Good job on your filming Howard. Maybe you can open your own production company. I’m sure you have plenty more videos in the same vein as the ‘clown’ video. Hell, the camera was practically attached to your damn arm. You make me laugh Art.
June 17th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Lucas: You are a moron.
Art: It looks a little silly, when I read that you ARE a father and then a few posts after that, I come along saying I didn’t know if you are one lol, but when I wrote my post last night, no others were up there yet and I had no way of knowing, at that time lol.
Just wanted to clarify that. Happy Father’s Day to all fathers! And thanks again for sharing your interview with Howard.

June 17th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
You know what Art? I’m kinda ticked you used the Mystery Flowers on Anna’s Grave in your headline. The first thing that occured to me when I read that was the mystery flowers that are found on Marilyn Monroe’s grave every year.
There is no mystery, you reported in the article that HKS put them there but if you are trying to conjure images of Marilyn Monroe in the minds of readers and to compare Marilyn Monroe to Anna Nicole Smith then I’m even more ticked because Anna Nicole was nothing like Marilyn Monroe as those who knew MM have stated just that in interviews.
Danny had a father and his name is Billy Smith… did ya bother to ask HKS if Anna kept Danny away from his father like she was trying to do with DL ? Its a sad reflection to be sure that Danny had no memories of fathers days spent with his own father.
Maybe if Billy Smith had a good attorney like Opri, Danny would be spending this fathers day safe and alive in Texas with Billy. But I gotta thank you for pointing out all the sad moments Daniel must have endured on fathers days over the years. While all of us including Dannielynn are celebrating with our real fathers today we can only feel regret for those who were never given the opportunity to know thiers.
June 17th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Art,
Thanks for the update on Howard and another great aticle you have written about Anna Nicole’s story. My heart and prayers go out to Howard,his family and frinds.Especially sine he is still grieving his Anna Nicole. Howard and Anna were fortunate to have the support of their friends the past two years and that they were there for Howard when he lost his Anna Nicole. I’m glad to see Howard and Larry are working together for Dannielynn. I hope Howard getsto hold Dannielynn today and gets tobe part of her life.
June 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Art…if you feel the Clown Video was edited, then why did you moderate my response to your correspondence and chose not to post it? That’s a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Please dont refer to terroists editing footage…or even try to equate the Clown Video to being edited. Segments were “selected” to be shown that were imperative in showing Anna’s state of mind. Anna Nicole Smith was stoned and that’s all the public needed to see.
You can try to call it acting….the same way I called it acting on the Mommie Dearest Tape ( which I recking to a poor WWF performance )…” bring it on”.
Art, you claim people were at the house when the Clown Video was filmed? The only people I know to be there were a child, a dead woman and Mr. Stern…( and staff who know the truth too ). That leaves Mr. Stern and Reilly to be the ones you got your ” story ” from. I think we can eliminate the child.
No need to challenge me for the original of the Clown Video…but I will give you a clue. The police have a full uneditied copy of it. They also have a copy of the Christmas tape which again shows Anna’s condition. Dr. Eroshevich was holding Dannilynne and Howard was filming Anna. Experts have viewed both tapes and there is no doubt to Anna being under the influence of substance. So lets cut the crap about her acting shall we?
Art you of all people should know the power of persuasion, remember ” There Are Weapons Of Mass Destruction In Iraq”? Well…now we know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Inevitably the truth will come out and then what will your recourse be Art? Will it be the same as the egg on the faces that the politicians have? They still walk around free and so does OJ Simpson!
You responded to blogger Lorraine that there is more to come about the Methadone and the baby. You bet there is! More Spin. The knob needs to be cranked up to max because the public is crying out for the Inquest into Daniels death to start. Team Stern has to focus on defaming Virgie, Opri, Shelley and anyone who can TEMPORARILY take the focus off of the fact.
Another clue, the Spin Doctors and Media Team Howard has chosen to suit himself up with are no match for the Marshall family. He will never see the Marshall money and either will Dannilynne.
As for Oat Bran? It’s healthier than Methadone or Chlorahydrate.
—————
Lucas–
I don’t know who your police sources are, unless they are rentacops.
Because, Lucas, cops never got to see the full clown video tape. In fact, it’s never been in police possession, unless you count Ford and FOX.
That’s right, you assume they did and write it up as if they told you…but guess what, Shelley never surrendered it to the Horry County Sheriff as part of the Anna booty he admits taking from Horizons…and his criminal lawyer advised he turn in for safekeeping…until it was handed over to Seminole police…who still have it.
So where’s the original Clown tape? Go find it Lucas, or get Ford to tell you, since you seem to have your tentacles nowhere.
As for the concocted rationale by a “friend” Anna had kicked to the curb over the house dispute, that she feared she’d be done in by foul play, and wanted Ford to seize the evidence and tell the world, well, that never did pan out after cops got a look at the hard drives and found zip.
And Lucas, remember how they even got to look at the hard drive? Yep, they had to ask permission of the so called killer, Howard K. Stern.
Maybe you missed that part, Lucas, but you may recall I first reported investigators didn’t have probable cause to go to a judge and say a crime was committed, so the only way they could search the computers Ford Shelley turned in (after my sources tell me he copied the harddrives) was to get permission from the man you all were screaming was the Murderer. Still wiping yoke off face, I presume, Lucas…Weird that the killer would give investigators permission to search away, huh, and find evidence that never existed. Of course, they searched, found nothing suspicious on the computers and no charges were ever filed.
Back to the clown tape, indulge me Lucas, you expert of drama and improv. The tape shocked me the first time I saw it, indeed, it looked like a woman on a trip. Turns out Anna was much better at clowning around than we thought. Fooled me, and still fools you.
Take a look at the Alien movie she did and I think there’s a scene where she’s pretending a doll is a baby.
If it’s as described to me, did she take the same drugs before that scene as the Horizons video where she was freaking out Riley?
Stern told her to cut the crap that she was scaring Riley, she was so convincing.
I used to be a movie critic, Lucas, and have seen some bad acting in my day. But what if it does turn out that she wasn’t on drugs there, but made us believe she was, well, maybe we should give her credit for being a much better actress than anyone ever dreamed she could be.
So Lucas, can you tell me which department has the clown tape, and the xmas video tape? Name of the detective? You can’t because they don’t.
And who are your so called experts who reviewed the tapes and determined she was “under the influence?”
Obviously someone who didn’t know the woman’s ability to pull your leg and mine. Did they do a blood test posthumously, Lucas?
When I was in Iraq embedded with the U.S. Marines, I never did see any weapons of mass destruction, but we had our gas masks on our belts. Closest evidence I saw were dozens of German gas masks and decontamination kits left behind by an Iraqi army unit that fled. But that’s not evidence of wmd, so we didn’t report we’d found it.
Evidence, Lucas.
You indeed reveal your bonafides when you tell me cops have tapes they never got.
One more time, to clarify, are you actually telling me you have spoken to police SOURCES who eyeballed the whole tape, or got it from someone who handled it?
I don’t think so.
And who are the experts who could tell she was stoned and not acting?
You’re not reporting the story, Lucas.
But I am.

Mary:
Larry was originally working on a nursery for Dannielynn at his apartment. Lots of children live in apartments. And lots of people live in apartment with roommates.
We don’t know that Larry HAD a roommate. All we know is that Debra Opri – a known liar (“Larry never paid his other lawyers.”) – gave that account.
Some time ago, it was reported that HOWARD encouraged Larry to live with Dannielynn in Anna’s Calif. house, rather than his apartment. After all, it is now Dannielynn’s. Howard should live there, too, in my view, and not maintain a vigil at the graves of the dead. Dannielynn is alive and he should be close to her.
June 17th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Howard, Happy Fathers Day, Anyone can be a father but it takes a special man to be a Dad. You were a dad to both Daniel and Dannielynn. I know how strong you are and what a great man you are. Please know that you have more support than you can imagine. We would like to hear more on how you are doing and we would like to know that you are ok.
You have been through so much, however, your job here is not done. Dannielynn will want to know all the good things about her mother and that will by one of your jobs. Anna and you had such a special relationship. Take good care of yourself and know that you are loved by many. You are in all our prayers.
June 17th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Thank you Art for posting this..I have always believed in Howard…I really don’t think he has done anything unethical in any of this and i do believe in his love for Anna and Daniel and DL..I hope he gets to spend time with DL for many years to come..She sure is a beautiful baby and it must be very hard on Howard to have lost her after having her for 5 months or so…
I truly believe Howard is a very honest respectable man and what ever he did legally well he is just protecting his own rights which is every-one’s right…I am sure when the inquest into Daniel’s death is over Howard will be not implicated in anything illegal.
Thanks for all you do in reporting the truth.
June 17th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Why was it ok for Anna to put herself, HKS and the baby on TV but if Larry dares put them on TV SOME of this crowd acts as if he did something wrong?
I don’t get it.
As far as the clown video I think it was edited but not to the extent Anna was not under the influence of methadone. It is well documented she used while pregnant, please do not deny this for the sake of the baby, she will more than likely benefit from therapy (early intervention is best).
I have forgiven every thing in this case but think honesty would be the best approach. Apologize to Larry for all the things done to him and move on. I am so happy Larry Birkhead is not with out his child on this particular Sunday . I feel so bad for his struggles and understand his frustrations, forgive his actions too. He could have been with out his child today.

June 17th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Its so great to hear how Howard is doing! My heart goes out to him, he must be going through so much right now. I hope that he gets to see and hold Dannielynn soon.
June 17th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
I’m sure Anna and Daniel both are looking down from above wishing the same that they could all be reunited as one.
I like many of you had tears in my eyes reading Art’s own words of his conversation with Howard.
I cannot even imagine how it would be to lose two of the most important people in your life to know you will never see or talk to them again! To share your feelings, love, support and most of all your everyday routine you once shared with the closest people you loved so dearly.
I said it before and I will say it again that Howard Stern deserves a medal for what he has endured this past year.
We can all agree that this man has been through Hell…
Mr. Stern never should have been put through the torture that was brought on by lawyers, the media, journalists, tabloids, internet gossip…..I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get the drift.
It saddens me deeply that Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn are not apart of his life any longer. I only hope that Larry is in constant contact with Howard and will be reunited with Dannielynn in some way or another and will be a part of her life.
I myself feel Howard is a wonderful human being that will fight to the bitter end on Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn’s behalf for the truth and justice that he and his love ones derserve.
The truth will provail in the end of this unfortunate situation.
Hang in Howard…..
We also will hang in along for the ride, we will support you and follow this to the bitter end!
Wishing you the best Howard!
I’d also like to take the opportunity to thank you Art!

Nice move, telling me to drop dead because I don’t share your rose colored glasses, bodice ripping imaginary love story of Sir Stern and Maid Anna. You must get ripped off a lot, because it seems you will fall for any ridiculous story. Where is the paper trail on the methadone and drug free baby? If Anna was off of it and delivered a clean baby, why was it still in her house and bile?

I love Howie is moving his lips again!!!
So tell me folks – Larry testified he hadn’t seen Anna after what, April? Now suddenly Howie had him seeing her THREE weeks into to June? Father’s Day 2006 was June 18th.
Very interesting!
Oh wait, Howie did catch himself it appears. LOL
He switches quickly to the year before last (after he thought about what he said) didn’t he? Gee, you mean Daniel didn’t see mom for Father’s Day last year? Hum, now why would that be? Wouldn’t have anything to do with the “Daniel hates me” email now would it?
+=+=+=+=
He doesn’t “switch quickly to the year before last”. He says “the year before last” at the beginning of the sentence.
Here’s the quote taken from the article above:
“The year before last, Daniel spent the day with her and painted her a picture,” he recalls. “Larry was there, too, with the whole family, and we all got her cards because she loved Father’s Day.”
Just because you seem to have missed it the first time you read it, doesn’t mean Howard “switched” anything around. Why make things up when what was actually said is there for everyone (including you) to read?
Daniel didn’t hate Howard. Make up all the lies you want about these fictional e-mails that you couldn’t have possibly seen, even if they did exist. It seems to make you feel good to think that Daniel had hatred for Howard. I can just hear you cackling with glee at the thought of someone hating Howard – another brother in arms for your pathetic little group. Why spread lies about animosity between Howard and Daniel when there is so much evidence to the contrary?
Let’s not forget that even Ford Shelley, the man who hired people to lie about Anna and Howard, got up on the witness stand and testified that, and I quote, “Anna loved Daniel more than anything, AND SO DID HOWARD.” Everyone close to Anna and Howard has said time and time again that Howard and Daniel were great friends and had a wonderful relationship. And yet people continue to spread LIES.

Dear Art:
I came back today to wish you a Happy Father’s Day as I saw you remark on Lucas’comment about being a father.
After reading the remarks of the people on your site I see that they either love or hate Howard K. Stern. I venture to say that the people who are spewing the venomous and hateful remarks have never met or talk with Howard K. Stern. Yet they speak with such authority on the subject. I didn’t agree with the lifestyle that Anna and Howard had but I do not believe he is the villain that these people are trying to make him out to be. I saw a very loving and caring man. They say the eyes are the window of the soul, I don’t see any evil in his eyes. The scary thing is that these people could be my neighbors, YIKES!
I hope that you, Howard and Larry have a great day today!
June 17th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Stern! It must mean so much to have Howard and your other children by your side on Father’s Day – 2007! Trustingly, Howard will permit healing around the loss of chosen past experiences, permit himself to be involved in a psychologically healthy and stable relationship, and enjoy co-creating an exquisite child of his own lineage with that person within a couple of years. We will applaud both of you at that point in time on Father’s Day! I can only imagine the gleam in your eyes as reflected from the joy in your heart!
Happy Father’s Day, Larry Birkhead! No matter the reason, you should have been present to hold your daughter within a day of her birth (if not at the C-Section which was filmed by Howard K. Stern and provided to Entertainment Tonight for you to “shockingly” see along with the rest of the world)! Unlike the “Clown Video”, it surfaced on the Internet in even more dishonoring ways. You are now entrusted with the enormous responsibility of creating an INNER-home for your daughter which has nothing to do with material trappings. Hopefully, you find the strength within yourself to make individuated decisions on behalf of your daughter!
There are many reasons the greater percentage of us (parents) find anything that occurred between September 7, 2006, and February 8, 2007, to be less than “actions” of irrational or senseless hearts/minds, i.e. Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern and, therefore, the “reactions” of the public! It wasn’t the public who went on “Entertainment Tonight” (night after night) and Larry King Live! Only Howard K. Stern, personally, can rehabiliate the public’s opinion of him in the future and nothing Art Harris, Jane Devin, attorneys, and his sometimes “rabid” supporters can do to change the mass mind–unconditional forgiveness begins and ends with Howard himself for many people and most have never wished him harm. Only time will heal the personal violation many of us (as healthy parents) felt on behalf of Larry Birkhead. Whether an illusion or not, only history will justify and/or realign our perception. However, it is renewing to observe that Dannielynn Hope is thriving and flourishing under the sole and protective umbrella of her biological father the past month.
Happy Father’s Day, Art Harris! We hope you enjoy your children as much as my husband enjoys his hands-on experience as a father and the successful outcome of educated and psychologically-sound young adults.
P. S. No father, including Daniel Wayne Smith’s father, should be deprived the opportunity to interact on “some level” in the life of their child. Nobody has spoken of the underlying grief this common man might have experienced throughout the years and then to be rendered voiceless with the premature death of Daniel Wayne Smith at the age of 20 years of age!
Was this more of Anna Nicole Smith bullying people out of her life to create the illusion of a “princess” by the time of her burial? No parent is a “knight” nor a “princess” though we are entrusted through the grace of G-d to be respectful of our body, mind, soul, and to serve as mirrors of respect, honor, and ethics on behalf of the life that we bring through us!
June 17th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
Don’t worry everyone, you’ll get to see Howard holding DannieLynn one more time, just as soon as Larry and Howard figure out how to divvy up the ET payment.
June 17th, 2007 at 6:28 pm
This amazes me that you would do a story on Howard on Father’s Day, who is not even a Father. But you are trying your best to make him out to be a Saint. A good explanation about the clown video, but what about all the othet hundreds of times Anna is shown to be definitely out of it? She was not that good of an actress!!!! I don’t mean to rag on her, because I did like her. She just had too many people around her who did not look out for her best interest, including Howard. But, thanks for the one little paragraph about Larry, who IS a Father.
June 17th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
Art,………….I hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day. I really do feel bad that you have to hear such hatred from your readers, I commend you for allowing them their voice. I am glad to hear that Howard is doing well, the terrible things people were saying about Anna’s dogs make me glad you mentioned them. When I saw the infamous clown video, I knew right away it wasn,t as being portrayed. I didn”t think that it was edited so much asI could hear the laughter and playfulness in Howards voice, I also knew they we playing with a child.I am 58 and did not know there were people with such hatred in their hearts. I hope Larry has a wonderful first fathers day. I will not say I wish for this or that, what will be, will be. God bless you and your family.
June 17th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Art, I know you are a Howard Fan Club member. I am not, I believe Howard killed Anna and Daniel with drugs so he can reap the monies Anna would inherit. Your fan club here needs to wait for the inquest to make a true judgment of Howard. His stall tactics show a sign of guilt and sooner or later he will have to face the music. I say Howard pulled the wool over your eyes and you must be careful of this sly one.
June 17th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
In case you start on me about whose side I am o, I am not against any one of the characters involved with this story. I am not picking sides. I have an understanding and compassion for each one of them. I am not going to idolize any of them (except Dannielynn of course, I Love her). I realize this is life with all its imperfections. I am putting out some ideas just to think about. There has been a lot of talk about honesty and looking out for Dannielynn. She is going to learn things eventually and the more she understands the better equipped she will be to handle it. It is my opinion the truth will set you free.

To Lucas: Altho everyone has a right to freedom of speech….I take issue with your statement: ” Maybe it is time to stop trying to SELL Howard K Stern to the world. The majority ain’t buying it!”
Just who, in your mind, are the “majority?”? The hate mongers?…the talk show pundits who will take an issue and engage in a campaign of attack, using characters with less than sterling character?…just to make better ratings for their show?
I, for one, am NOT in your “majority”. Perhaps you would feel more at home among your peers if you would go to another website. In saying this, I am only speaking for myself.
June 17th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
How judgemental people have become when the shoe is on someone elses foot! What happened to people “listening” to what is said. Stop making assumptions! Art, I appreciate the “real-facts” as you have reported them. My hat is also off to Jamie Floyd and Jean Carasas of Court TV — not once did I hear them sensationalize the facts.
For those of you who are so quick to point a finger —PLEASE STOP AND THINK ……my mother is 93 and takes medication for heart failure, high blood pressure, colesterol, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and many other medical problems…this means many, many, many prescription medications – this does not mean she is an addict– it means she must take many medications to keep her alive….
If you had listened you would have heard that Anna was an eptileptic, she had several surgies, stomach problems, panic attacks and a variety of other aliments – not to mention what she lived with every day to overcome her horrible childhood. She did not overdose on drugs – medications that had been taken days before were within dosage levels and were on their way out of her system according to the autopsy….the least of which was Methodone (a pain medication) taken efore she left the ahamas….due to her weakened state from the infection and an obvious case of the flu, her body became toxic and more than likely, her heart just gave out–just like anyone’s body would do when they smoke, drink or take aspirin….many people can become toxic from what they eat…peanuts can kill someone who is allergic to them….
Some of you need to grow up!! Then you need to hear all of the facts before you put your mouth in motion.

xcel, take off the hatred blinders and read the article again. It says:
“Daniel gave her a painting he’d done on the last Father’s Day they spent together,” says Stern. “He spent the day with his mother, and it was really special to her. The family was there, even Larry (Birkhead) came by.”
and:
“The year before last, Daniel spent the day with her and painted her a picture,” he recalls. “Larry was there, too, with the whole family, and we all got her cards because she loved Father’s Day.”
Clearly he’s refering to Father’s Day 2005 in both statements. Nothing suspicious. Can I suggest you take some Maalox and a suppository? Because clearly you’re full of sh…….
Art, thanks for posting this. I was wondering how Howard was doing and though it broke my heart to read it, I’m grateful. Kudos to you for not caving to the sensationalism and the vitriol feuling the lynch mob. It’s a living disgrace that people desecrate the good name of journalism for ratings the way they have in this case. There are more than a few who could stand to take more than a few pages out of your professional book. You should be proud that you’ve facilitated the truth to all who you reach. Thanks again. You’re truly a breath of fresh air in this case.

Art – what has happened with the Horizons?
Is Larry Birkhead moving into Anna’s house in California..?.I understood he lived in a 1 bedroom apartment – you would be hard-pressed to install a nursery there. I couldn’t tell where they were in Greta’s interview.
Also,I would like to say that with friends like Ford & Gina Shelley, Ben Thompson, her moma and the rest (you know who you are) she certainly didn’t need any enemies.
My feelings are – WHAT GOES AROUND WILL COME AROUND AND IT’S GOING TO BITE YOU IN THE ARSE…big time…
June 17th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Art, thanks for the interview with Howard. I hope he realizes how much people do care for him and share the pain he has endured. Hope he gets to see Dannielynn this week. That`s what he needs right now. If Larry has any compassion in his heart, he will. I wish them all the best.
June 18th, 2007 at 12:09 am
Linda,
Get off the cross, someone needs the wood!
You are entitled to your opinion, as are others.
After all your preaching (hypocrite) you fail to pull the log from thy own eye. Try dealing with the FACTS not posters and emotions. What does a clown video prove?
FACT: Anna is DEAD from DRUGS!
Was she just acting a death scene? Geesh Lousie.
FACT: Daniel is DEAD from DRUGS!
FACT: Howard lies.
Expect most reasonable people to not believe a liar, that is a fact of life.
June 18th, 2007 at 1:27 am
My Question is HOW DID DANIEL AND ANNA DIE?…who provided the drugs??? I sincerely hope that we will find out the truth. After watching all the videos…I have to wonder why HK$ would not only tape ANS but say we can make money out of the CLOWN VIDEO…{WHERE CLEARLY ANS WAS “HIGH”}…in my humble opinion I suspect that ANS pretended to care for HK$ TO USE HIM AS HER “PROVIDER” OF DRUGS…the only people ANS LOVED WERE HERSELF AND HER SON!
What a dreadful lifestyle she lead…WOT A MESS SHE HAS LEFT!…DO HAIR TESTS ON EVERYONE…THE PROOF WILL BE SHOWN.
June 18th, 2007 at 1:30 am
Art,
Thank you for exposing the truth about the “clown tape”. I was troubled by how the majority of the media never questioned the authenticity of the tape. Since they all knew it was obtained illegally and therefore could have been easily altered. So nice of Howard to share with us what his past Father’s Day with Anna and Daniel were like. I know its hard getting through the holidays when you mourning for your love ones. For him to grant you an interview that says a lot. Hopefully, he was able to visit with Dannielynn today. With her big bright eyes and adorable smile I’m sure seeing her made today less sorrowful and more joyful for him. Good luck Howard and Larry with your upcoming court cases.
By the way it’s nice to know that the dogs are okay. There was an awful rumor about Sugar Pie, so glad it’s not true.
June 18th, 2007 at 2:05 am
timeistelling(#43)-
You said, “…again that was Anna’s mother.”
Anna said, “First of all, she’s [Virgie Arthur] not my mother, she’s my birth mother.”
Maxx (55)-
I want to tell you something about the “imfouns xmass video”. That was a video of a mother in deep mourning having to go through her first Christmas with out her beloved son. My father died more than 20 years ago and my mother STILL has a hard time with the holidays…so what do you have to say about that?!
63- first of all, do you really think their hasnt been one day that has gone by where Howard hasnt wished to God he could have that day back?! If ANS didnt want to go, there is literally NOTHING they can do about it. I am an EMT. If I force some to go to the hosptial agaisnt their will, no matter how bad they need to go, I can have assault charges filed agasint me.
Xcel 51-
I dont even know what to say to you (Didnt Art already slap you down a peg or two already?!) You actaully seem to be enjoying Howard’s pain. you really have to wonder about a person who would take joy in the misery of others.
The people who support Howard are good people (thats why we support him) so unlike what you would say to us, we wish you nothing but the best in your life Xcel.
June 18th, 2007 at 2:58 am
“Over his strained voice, I can hear dogs yapping and growling, as Stern takes a minute to referee the squabble between Sugar Pie, Frankie, Marylin and Puppy, Anna’s beloved dogs. “They’re the only connection I’ve got to her now that Dannielynn is gone,” he says, reluctant to leave them to others to care for while he’s gone. They sleep on the bed with him at night, he says, as they did with Anna, and keep him up fighting to get close. He doesn’t mind.”
Odd, I thought Howard slept in the bed with Anna, being that they were lovers and all. So wouldn’t the dogs have slept with both of them?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:02 am
Found it art! Thanks for emailing me I really appreciated it.
Howard,Art, Howard I am really feeling this in my soul as I read it. I think you are such a wonderful man and a loving honest caring compassionate man. You loved Anna and she loved you. For those that use that stupid word Svengali is disgusting. Obviously they have not paid attention to one show you both were on or anything of your history with Anna. You were her puppet and she was the puppet master but she loved you so much and trusted you with every facet of her being,her son her life her money her fame her soul. I know she is looking down upon you and Daniel is right with her and they will be your guide through the storm. Make sure you take silent,introspective times to feel their love around you. Sometimes in the most lonely moments if you just reach down deep a
their beautiful voices. Howard,we are all here with you and will do anything you ever need us to. We support you and we care for you very much. My warmest wishes and my undying HONEST real support that has never wavered and I have never hurt anyone in my quest to help get justice and to protect you. And I never will. There are so many people who are out for number one and leave anyone in their wake regardless of the hurt they are inflicting and burn every bridge after they gouge the eyes and heart out of those that once cared deeply for them. Sounds like all the backstabbers and liars and leeches that hurt Anna and you in her life.
Make sure you keep that in mind during your dealings with others. There is always something and someone to need to protect yourself against even if they “seem” that they are on your team. I know you read at QV’s site daily and we hope that we have warmed your heart and eased some of your pain. Much love and hugs hang in there and keep on keeping on..AmyBTRU

IC some familiar names here from other sites ranting personal opinion, calling them ALL fact based. I find it comical to watch their words. They will throw in a small amount of fact and spin the rest while picking and choosing what sounds best for their point! It reminds me of Mr. OQuinn and his interview with Nancy Grace. He told Nancy that he had been raised by his “grandmother”. When in fact he was raised by a very stern “father” as a few of his peers have stated. Why did he do this? Because he was trying to “WIN public opinion” that Anna’s “estranged mother” Virgie should get full custody and Mr. Birkhead if proven bio dad, get visitation! Some people buy into media hype and that could have been easily believed without a little research of my own. Another point .. Shelley stated on the stand that Mr. Stern would not allow his daughter to call home. Oddly enough he did not share his story with his wife Gina as she she stated in an interview that Mr. Stern told Riley the phone was in the other room. There are many such things that alot try to cover up and ignore for whatever reason.
Yes lynch mobs are alive and well just like in the 16th century! Makes me wonder if reincarnation does truly exist! However, I would just bet that “majority” will state a person should be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However media shock has consumed so many!
It would be a very sad world for us all, if majority agreed with “lynch first .. ask questions last”!
I want to Thank You Art from the bottom of my heart for reporting FACTS as they should be reported .. without the ever so popular agenda!
I want to wish Mr. Stern, Larry and Dannielynn the very best! Keep your heads held high and continue to work together for Dannielynn’s future and love for Anna.
Mr. Harris, I hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day!
Thank You again!
June 18th, 2007 at 3:40 am
Thank You Art for bringing us this interview and Thank You Howard for giving the interview.
I love Howard and support him no matter what.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:03 am
DEAR ART, I AM SORRY YOU ARE READING SOME INAPPROPRIATE E-MAILS…HATEFUL,I THINK. MOST OF US APPRECIATE YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY AND SKILLFUL REPORTING. KEEP UP THE EXCELLANT RESEARCH . I SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN…. HKS IS A DECENT, KIND MAN. I HOPE HIS HEART HEALS ONE DAY AND WE HEAR MORE FROM HIM. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY ANS LOVED HIM. HE STAYED LONGER IN HER LIFE THAN ANY OTHER MAN ,OTHER THAN HER SON. THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT .
June 18th, 2007 at 4:56 am
#12, Art,
Thanks for setting this fool straight. I had said the reason for the tape presented by Shelley was another tactic to get Howard so he could get Horizons. Ford is a crook from hell. Everyone went after Howard because he was "in the way". Well,thank God Howard was there because Anna would never have rested in peace. He was and he is what she always knew him to be, "The wind beneath her wings."
June 18th, 2007 at 7:42 am
I haven’t frequented this forum much, just when I see some breaking news. I did read though that you were looking to attract more people to your website. I was posted at CTV by a poster who claims to have corresponded with you. (The poster copied your posted to that board, emails perhaps, not sure, hopefully with permission.)
If you are truly interested in attracting more people, than my suggestion to you would be to open your eyes to all people in this case. Your sappy admiration for everything Howard is sickening to be honest. No one in this charade has their hands clean, but for some reason, you seem to to think Howard is the be all, end all.
Spend sometime investigating some of the Dr.’s in this case who had no problem buddying up to Anna and supplying her with a lethal cocktail.
Spend sometime investigating why a young man who appeared fine would suddenly die at a hospital to boot! Go find some of Daniel’s friends and see what they have to say about Daniel.
Get some facts about these things, than start looking for new people to visit your site…they’ll come, but only if you stop the one-sided views on here.
P.S. I am not in anyones favour, they are all let Anna down, every single one of them….they should all have trouble sleeping, Larry, Virgie, Howard….the list goes on and on.
VERY SAD!

Art,
Great article. I’m so choked up right now until I can hardly write. I’m glad Howard has said something. He will say more when the time and environment is right. What a wonderful guy. I pray for him all the time and God is watching over him. Remember Howard, “like a gentle shepherd, God guides you around the obstacles that block your path and through the waters that threaten to sweep you off your feet. Sometimes he carries yur burdens, and sometimes he carries you. Through it all, you’re never alone”. Howard will be fine. I hope he got to hold and hug Dannielynn yesterday. That most certainly is what Anna would have wanted. Happy belated Fathers’s Day to Howard.

Timeistelling and Lucas:
You’re saying that people are lying about Virgie and not giving respect to her. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
Virgie Arthur went on National TV and called her daughter a murderer on Nancy Grace Show. She then described her as wild and free. She could not say one kind word about her daughter for the press. Later we found out Anna was abused by Virgie with the testimony of three family members. She then held the burial up fighting in the Florida courts to take Anna back to Texas, a place Anna DID NOT WANT TO BE. She then held the funeral up for one hour in Bahamas trying to get a court order not to bury the body there. She got angry and shoveled 51 shovels of dirt on the grave and after that walked on top of the grave. She fought Howard and is still fighting Larry for the custody of a child Anna WOULD NOT WANT HER TO HAVE. After all the fighting for custody of Dannielynn she then missed an appointment to see the child. And to top it all off she ask Howard K. Stern to keep the baby at the Horizons until the June 8, custody hearing so that Larry would not be able to take the baby to the states. This is the same man (Howard K. Stern) that she told America was a murder and drug supplier and unfit to care for the baby. Quote “I’m afraid for the baby to be with him.” At present we learn that Virgie has a PI follow Larry everywhere he goes to try and prove he is an unfit father. Again, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! What respect did Virgie have for Anna? NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 18th, 2007 at 8:39 am
Thanks, Art. It’s great to hear a few words from Howard.
June 18th, 2007 at 8:44 am
Thanks, Art. And for Howard….he and only he knows the truth. He has to look at himself in the mirror. FS, GVS, GBT and all the other accusers can all take a hike.
I hope you enjoyed your day with your Dad, Howard. Enjoy your time in CA. You need a change of scenery.
June 18th, 2007 at 8:54 am
Art,
Don’t you just love how people who know how to use Google ASSume they know so much more than the people who were actually involved in the situation, or people who have personally spoken with the people actually involved. Armchair experts who form Mutual Admiration Society message boards under the guise of “Crime Discussion”. They break their arms patting each other on the back because they managed to find some new (to them) tidbit on Google and before long they develop a vainglorious estimate of their abilities.
Not that anyone that has commented here does that.**wink**
June 18th, 2007 at 8:56 am
Seriously, can Larry whore out DL anymore? I find it wonderful he is attending a celeb function as one of the top 10 celeb dads. Are you even kidding me? He’s a celeb because he got Anna knocked up, thats wonderful, really. Does he need to do all the interviews with his shirt off, seriously, is he like auditioning for his own reality show, because you know thats next.
Why is he staying at Annas home? Can he not afford his own place? So he got a mansion and a baby this year, oh and access to Annas estate, its good to be Larry Birkhead, sometimes not using protection has its benefits I guess.
Another thing, why is he going though Annas contracts, and such? He has proven he isnt mentally capable of knowing what contracts mean, does he think hes Americas sweetheart and if he pimps his daughter out enough and shows us what a good dad he is, that we will all excuse him for not paying Opri her money?
On the stand in Florida he said DL’s money was HIS money, thats all he ever has wanted, he had it planned way before DL was even born.

#42, How do you have the nerve to use God in the same paragraph with not liking someone. Do you know who God is? God is LOVE.
June 18th, 2007 at 9:51 am
Art,
Thank you for the tender, emotional and heart felt article. Thank you for the truth of Howard’s selfless love and commitment to Anna, Daniel and Dannielynn, the honor and dedication which Howard continues display to protect Anna and Daniel even after their deaths is evident.
I refuse to individually address each of the ignorant and illogically informed conspiracy theorists that have spewed forth their venom and vile. Suffice to say there has been no evidence of any illegal criminal actions by Howard. So please slither back into the holes in which you crawled out of.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Art,
I love the way you answer all the idiots and morons that have been wasting space here. It always gives me much needed laughs.
I’m sure they have no idea how utterly silly they are sounding to people with intelligence.
I hope they stop wasting your time and go back to TMZ or whatever hovel they came from.
Just please keep up your good work, Art. The majority of the people here appreciate you very much. And yes, Lucas, we are the ones in the majority. You would just like to believe you are. Dream on.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Oh, I forgot….. I’ve never heard anything about Anna’s dogs being dead. I can’t even believe that anyone would think for a second that Howard would do anything to her dogs. But for those that had heard this absurd tale, and possibly even believed it for a second, I’m glad you set their minds at ease, Art. This just gets more unbelievable everyday. What vivid imaginations some people have! Too bad, they don’t keep them to themselves.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:24 am
WHOA … SLOW DOWN A BIT FOLKS. ALL THIS TEA AND SYMPATHY FOR HOWARD ALL OF A SUDDEN IS A BIT DISCONCERTING AFTER ALL HIS SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO HALT THE INQUEST OF DANNY’S SUDDEN DEATH. SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO DID WHAT AND WHEN. ADDITIONALLY, HOWARD WAS ANNA’S DRUG SUPPLIER AND ENABLER ALONG WITH DR. EROSOVITCH AND OTHERS WHO COULD HAVE INTERVENED TO SAVE ANNA … NOT ASSIST IN HER DESTRUCTION. SO LET’S GET ALL THE FACTS OUT IN THE OPEN, FINALLY, BEFORE WE ELEVATE HOWARD TO SAINT HOOD!!! ALSO, IT HAS BEEN IMPLIED THAT HOWARD SHOULD “HELP” LARRY TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT DANNYLYNN’S CARE AND FUTURE. BALONY!!!!! LARRY IS THE FATHER AND HE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL DECISIONS ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT LARRY WANTS HIS FUTURE LIFE INTERTWINED WITH HOWARD’S. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. HOWARD NEEDS TO GET A LIFE OF HIS OWN AND NOT INTERFERE IN LARRY’S.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:42 am
LINDA:
Yes, many people live in apartments. But where do you put a child in a one bedroom. I don’t think it’s wrong to put the crib in your bedroom. But every time Larry said he was going back to CA to work on Her room. How long does that take. It was an apartment so he wasn’t building on, adding an addition. Have you ever watch the home make over shows it only takes a day or two to competely change over a room.
For months Larry kept saying he had to get home to finish the room. I don’t hate Larry it just seemed strange to me.
Will we (outsiders) ever know the truth?
The news people keep putting their spin on it as well as us. That’s why I ask Mr Harris these questions because I think he is the most factual and honest of all the reports I’ve seen out there.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:54 am
#91, Just because you’re the father doesn’t mean you get to film the birth of your child. Anna had the right to say who should be in the delivery room with her. Remember, Larry wasn’t her husband. Being a biodad didn’t give him rights to her body or her presence without her consent. This is not a strike at Larry, but the plain and simple truth.
June 18th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Many of you saw the interviews this past weekend with Larry Birkhead.
In the interview with Geraldo, Larry Birkhead tells all that if Anna was alive today, he would still be dealing with Howard K. Stern. And, he was right in saying that. Howard, would always be around Anna, because that is the way she wanted it to be! Larry was fully aware she was never going to marry him (Larry) and live happily ever after.
Anna and Howard had a very unusual relation, in that the bond between them was very deeply based on trust, love and dependency. After you have been in a relationship for years, you grow and move forward. Anna Nicole said a few times that she was only here because of Howard. He helped her survive, but unfortunately Daniel's untimely death, was too much for her to bear and her burdens deepened.
Howard is a very big plus for DannieLynn and LB would be smart to let the past go and move on for her sake. It would make all their lives better to be together. Anna deeply wanted Howard in DannieLynn's life. That is the reason she named him as her Father.

These conspiracy theories about murder are not only hateful but also irrational. There is no evidence that Anna was murdered or Daniel either based on what Dr. Wecht has said. The so-called “evidence” is based on the jumping off point of, “Well, duh, Howard was around when they both died, therefore, he must have had something to do with it”. From there comes these tortured extrapolations based on wild speculation and twisted facts.
I keep on asking myself, “Why?”. Why are some people determined to find murder when it does not exist? Is it just the long term effect of the media frenzy that falsely speculated to get ratings, or is it something more? If so, what is it? Why do some people gleefully hope that it was murder?
In spite of all the facts to the contrary, these people stand their ground. Hoping against hope they will be found to be correct. Maybe it’s just as simple as ego. The need to be right at all costs. Who cares that it’s not true. Who cares who it harms? As long as I can prove myself in some way to be right, that’s all that matters.
God help them.
June 18th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Hey Kira #91, so you are telling me that if LB was at the C-section delivery, this wud not have been shown to the media(LB sure is proving that theory wrong these days). IMO, the person carrying the baby gets to decide who she wants to hold her hand and film the baby’s delivery(we certainly know who she ‘did not’ pick, right?) Let us assume that all children know who their bio-dad is by now, and the mothers let all these bio-dads into their lives,right? Hopefully all mothers will know who the baby’s daddy is, then we can have no more Maury Povich show. By the way, once Danielynn came, did LB make an effort to visit the hospital at any point after delivery? It never ceases to amaze me that some ‘110% supporters’ of LB are chastizing ANS for not turning her daughter over to him. How dare her not hand her child over to him, right? If one wants to see their child after birth, one doesn’t immediately file for full custody/child support. There is a saying i always use, ‘you get more w/ sugar than w/ vinegar. As hard as it is for alot of men to do, he shud have tried grovelling first(both in and out of the press). I call it the ‘PUSS IN BOOTS’ technique from the movie Shrek(when Puss takes his hat off and shows his sad eyes). I think he might have had more sympathy (and not need Opri) if he had played the humble/just want to see my baby card. Instead, he made matters worst by not trying ‘sugar’ first and came out guns a-blazing. Now, LB is backpeddling on many things now because maybe he finally realizes his role in damaging his daughter’s mother’s image. He also is now aware that ANS legal mess is now his, indirectly. Maybe,just maybe, his conscience is bothering him. I want LB to get past the denial faze and heal for that baby’s sake. He shud let go of the me&ANS vs HKS&ANS comparisons that we in the public discuss. His was his, HKS’ was HKS’. I also wish LB wud stop the ‘mine is bigger than yours’ comments as if out of jealousy. I still wish him/HKS/Danielynn the best.
June 18th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Dear Art, I really enjoyed your write-up about HKS,LB,Dannielynn,and Father,s Day. ANS made her own decision to spend the last few years of her life in a dual relationship with these two men. Only someone like her could pull that off publicly. While I would never judge her for anything like that,I have to admit it’s kind of goofy. But it became tagic toward the end when her son Daniel died,and then ANS’s life ended a few months later. I hardly doubt if either HKS or LB were involved in either Daniel’s or ANS’s death. ANS loved walking on the wild side,as obviously did her son Daniel. There were no signs of foul play shown in the autopsies of either Daniel or ANS. The final autopsy results showed accidental overdose in both cases,so suicide was obviously not a factor either. For a while,HKS was truly thought to be Dannielynn’s father,as both ANS ans HKS stated he was the father,and his name was put on Dannielynn’s birth certificate. Enter LB who also claimed paternity,and this paternity court battle got rolling in the Bahamas. Both HKS and LB acted civilized and like gentlmen,it was the lawyers that got loud,especially Debra Opri. In the end,it was LB,s DNA,and not HKS,s who matched Dannilynn’s DNA. And I had seen on a Court TV show that both men had submitted DNA,even though HKS submitted his at the 11th hour,because he still wanted to make sure the baby was his. As it turned out, it wasn,t,and he was absolutely devestasted it wasn,t. At that point,both of these gentlemen chose to handle things their own way, much to Debra Opri,s horror. So LB fired her. On a court show I was watching on TV,LB stated that Debra Opri was already holding a lot of his money,so why should he have to pay her big overinflated bill that she has made out for him now? LB,s DNA match was made in April 2007, in the Bahamian Court. Since tnen,HKS snd LB have arranged the transition of Baby Dannielynn in their own way,since no one knows this baby,like these two men do, nor does anyone know her mom like these two men did. I believe both of these gentlemen have handled this unique situation with maturiy and grace. And if LB wants to live in ANS’s former home,then so be it! It,s Baby Dannielynn,s home anyway,and LB is her father and primary caretaker. He has a child to raise now. So he should be able to take care of her where he sees fit and where he feels the most comfortable.
LB appears to be a very loving and doting father to his little girl. And I’m very glad that he is spending his very first Fathers Day as a father with her. And as for HKS,he has a little “niece” now,that hopefully, he will be able to visit on Father’s day. And LB has been quite gracious at this point. I doubt that he would cut HKS out of Dannielynn’s life at this point in time. HKS and LB have put together all Baby Dannielynn,s trnasition plans on their own without the help of any outside lawyers. And they should be allowed to continue doing so, in peace and privacy. However they handle it is between them, and it’s really none of the publics business. Good luck to both LB and HKS, and may HKS find peace in the future. Difi from northern NJ.
June 18th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
One more thing, when you see the ANS trashers/HKS haters(Xcel et. al.) debating whether it was last Father’s Day or the actual 2005 Father’s Day it makes one chuckle. These are probably the same haters that were trying to say that Sugarpie was not withus anymore. Can these ppl increase their meds; or can their relatives order a straightjacket for them. Hey Art, any news from Ford ‘Just looking out for u Anna’ Shelley? How did HKS juggle the 6/18 and 6/19 court dates between CA and Bahamas. Thnx
June 18th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Art……..I know this is not on topic but I don’t know who else to ask. Is it normal for people to so entrenced in a story, and to be so one sided in their thinking. I can’t get my mind around they way some people think and the way they are so ready to attack.
June 18th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
tmz just showed a tape of Howard helping Larry move into DL
house. As it should be because it’s her house and she should live there. And I’m happy Howard avoid the press with the baby. We don’t have any rights to disturb the baby. I just hope everthing works out for her.
June 18th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Mr. Harris,
I only have one real word for you. DENIAL. Get a grip. I hope the California Courts are wiser and do not allow HKS to be executor, obviously LB isn’t, or is he? Two grown men making their living from a dead woman and her son. You do not need to correct my spelling as you have of others who do not agree with you. Thank goodness this is your own website. I assume no one else would be willing to print the garbage you just posted concerning the Clown tape etc. Why would an intelligent man as yourself print such garbage?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
To all of the people that refer to Mr. Stern as a murderer, beware you can be identified by your email. I only hope you will be exposed by Mr. Wood.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
YouKnowMe 80-
FYI, when Howard was on LKL he said that Anna wanted to get in contact with Billy Smith. Howard even went so far as so suggest that Billy call into LK so they can get in touch.
maryst 85- I’ve said this before but I have no problem sayig it again. In the seven months Dannielynn was in Anna and Howards care, we saw her Maybe four times. In the TWO months Dannielynn has been in the care of Larry she has been followed around by Access Hollywood, did two photo shoots for (the Very respetable)supermarkt tabloid OK magazine (Im sure Anna would have just Loved that), LKL, and GVS. you gonnna try to tell me thats not exploitation?
As much as I dont like larry,(I TRY to like him! I really do) its very obvious that Dannielynn was very well taken care of when she was in Anna and Howards care and now larry’s. she is extremely happy and Healty looking.
I DO think she’ll end up having some issues. (she was born and her mother and brother are burried in the bahamas after all) but if Howard is able to move on and move back to CA. and Larry allows him to have a significant roll her her life and if they both are HONEST with her. I think it will become less confusing for her.
chalkoutline 88- News flash! Anna Nicole Smith died FIVE MONTHS AFTER Dannielynn was born.
“…love story of Sir Stern and Maid Anna” (lol. touche)
You dont have to share it with me. It was was ANNA’s friends who said that Howard was her soulmate and that they completed each other and that, “they’ve been conceted on so many levels for so many years.” and it was ANNA HERSELF who said that her second husband, J. Howard Marhsal was her guardain angel and he sent her Howard. not me.
damn straight I get ripped off a lot!! that poor man has been through hell! (take away your feelings towards HS for a moment and imagine you have lost not one but three people you loved dearly in the span of 6 months. and then because the media is more concerned with ratings than truthful reporting, they decided to make YOU the bad guy.) now how would that make you feel?!
94- *rolls eyes*- First of all, if Howard was going to kill Anna, dont you think he would have done it AFTER they got legally married?!! Second, as her lawyer and most trusted friend, dont you think he knew that other than being the executor of her estate and named her son’s legal guardain, he was not a benafactor and would have had her changed the will to add him?? The time right after Daniel’s death would have been a pretty good time to try to take advantge of that. As of my understanding, Ford Shelley did. (nice guy)
Finally, as her lawyer, HKS is entitled to approximately 6% of the final ruling in the Marhsal case. That means that HKS, BY HIS OWN WORK stands to EARN anything from six million dollars to THIRTY. MILLION. DOLLARS. Now please tell me something, if its entirely possible that some day you yoursef may become MULTI-MILLIONAIRE are you going to risk it all and go the prision for the rest of your life?!!
THINKING!… it’s good thing.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
If you have already seen it, today (Monday 6/18/07) TMZ has a picture of Howard holding Dannielynn over the weekend. Howard was helping Larry move into Anna’s home. I think it’s great!
June 18th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Larry has stated that he and Dannielynn will be living in Anna’s (now Dannielynn’s) house. Howard reportedly suggested they do so.
The Shelleys have the whole clown tape and Ford stated so. It would be nice if he would show the whole thing to Art.
June 18th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Larry mentioned Anna tried to keep their relationship kind of secret, not to many photos etc. That’s because Anna was looking for a sperm donor, NOT a daddy. She was very public about that. Now with that single tadpole Larry is now holed up in her mansion (no more rent in Burbank!) He compares his lifestyle to a “rock star” and “oscar winner”
and he is undoing everything Anna did to try to escape him.
What honor is there in that? He signs contracts left and right, and then violates them. Stern, though not a model person, is the only one grieving Anna. Larry seems to be holding a non-stop party, and he drove her to an early grave with his cruel vindictive TV appearances, lawsuits and E-mails. As for clown video, Anna’s TV show was one long clown video…did any of the public step forth to save her from her obvious drunk/drugged out status? Stern tried for 12 years to help her, in videos you see Stern trying to protect her at times, while Larry was always the voyeur with the camera. His nose is fake, his hair is fake, and HE is fake. Can’t even look anyone in the eye, notice?
June 18th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Jill from Western Australia –
Maybe someone needs to do a HAIR TEST on you! Drink much?
Doctors write prescriptions, pharmacies provide the drugs….notice that Attorney’s are NOT in this equasion???
Leave Howard alone..you bumble on like a fool with no merit…..
I’d like to see you get bitch-slapped by a Kanga..now that would be ‘WORTH MONEY’ !!!!
June 18th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
Art-
Before making a bigger fool of yourself correcting spelling, you might want to check your own “Are You Smarter Thjan”
I’ve seen this same tactic used on the TMZ blog – no come back facts so I will correct your spelling. Honestly Art that’s petty of you. Now please make sure you correct my post.
June 18th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Jill from Western Australia Where have you been???? HOW DID DANIEL AND ANNA DIE?…It has all been out there for you to read. NO HOWARD K. STERN did not kill them. Wake up and just smell the rosies.

June 18th, 2007 at 7:20 pm
i want to wish larry HASPPY FATHERS DAY he fought long and hard for this day, and no one should take this from him on fathers day. there is no POOR HoWARD. i have stood for howard for a long time, but enough is enough. take off the rose colored glasses. the person i most believe, in this whole baby saga is LARRY. anna and howard tried to steal dannielynn, howard knew in all along he was not the father. thst showed in flordia. he wanted to deal wiyh larry. anna got her own way by any means it took to get what she wanted. and so howard loved her? you stil don’nt steal a child from her father. so howard is not the father, why feel sorry for that. i guess larry is supposed to also feel sorry, and give him back dannielynn. i hope larry uses howard for everthing he needs him to do and them tells him to get lost. that is what he and his sister both deserve
June 18th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Could everyone please read closely what Art has said. He said he’s been TOLD that the tape was taken out of context and that he had been TOLD that once the full tape is viewed we would all see that it was an acting job. He’s also been TOLD a lot of things that have not as yet materialized as fact.
Its not so much the fact that Anna looked drugged up in that tape that is bothering me. Methadone is safe for pregnant women but would still get her high as a kite. What bothers me about the tape or rather the portion that we saw, was HKS’s comments. Is this a mushroon trip? It bothers me that he knew what the hell mushrooms were while I had to go on a google search online to find out. That comment makes me wonder. Now when he said something to the affect Boy this is gonna be worth money. hmm I’ll admit that I’ve said the same thing when I’ve caught a picture of one of my kids or relatives in a cmopromising position… something we would probably both look back on and laugh about. I’m not gonna jump the gun on that comment.
I would like to say this though. I think the people who are being tagged the HKS haters are being unfairly judged. I do not hate anyone. I personally find a lot of things about these two deaths to be very suspicious. I also see that laws have been broken. There are people sitting behind bars right now for breaking those same laws, yet there has been no LE to step forward to investigate this in a way that would make me believe that the laws of this country are being applied fairly to all.
There is also the issue of whether HKS has repeatedly done unethical things in his capasity as Anna Nicole’s personal attorney. (one such unethical stunt was spoken about in one of the Marshall case final judgements)
Once again there are attorneys who’s license to practice law have been revoked for those same things. All I want is for the laws and standards that apply to every other citizen of this country to apply to all those who were involved in the Anna Nicole saga. I don’t think that makes me a HKS hater. I think that makes me a concerned citizen and what better time and place to make a point and enforce the law than in a highly publicized case such as this?
June 18th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Dear Art!
Thanks again for the lovely article. As from reading other sites and finding out that Howard got to spend some quality time with Dannielynn, I hope that Larry and Howard both had a wonderful Happy Father’s Day.
Jim-yes we are waiting on the inquest, but my question for you is, if they find nothing on Howard what will you say then? Will you be a MAN and admit that you were wrong on accusing a innocent man of murder?
Don- just because Howard is not the biological father, doesnt mean you cant wish him a happy father’s day. besides he was there when dannielynn was born, and he was there for the rest of time until Larry got to take her home. So he played the daddy part until the world found out who was the real daddy. I’m not a parent, but I do get Happy Mother’s day from the children I took care of since birth. Are you trying to say these kids shouldnt wish me a Happy Mother’s day if I’m not the real mother?
YouKnowMe-We all know that Anna isnt MM I just think the reason why most bring the two up, is because they did have similiar qualities about them. They had a lot of people out there that adored them, and they both died at a very young age. I find most MM fans were not around in her time, they did not see her life unfold on tv or mags. Yet there is something about her that draws them in. I was around when Anna’s life unfolded on tv and mags. And even in death, she still draws me in. So I guess there is a third similiarity between the two. Because, I’m sure 15 yrs from now, a teenager is going to learn about Anna, and is going to find her as their idol.
Another thing I would like to address you about, is Danny’s father. We all know he had a father and who he was. And No I dont think we need to question Howard if Anna kept Danny away from his dad. His fathers action speak louder then words. He didnt pay child support. And when he was questioned on where he thinks Anna should be burried, he had no grief in his voice about losing his son. Those two things right there are a good enough reason to keep him away.
xcel-why would should he ask Greta for a copy of that tape? Dont you think the copy she has is editeted as well?
June 18th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Well, I understand now why you didn’t approve this comment, Art. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
# Pampster Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.
June 17th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
Don’t worry everyone, you’ll get to see Howard holding DannieLynn one more time, just as soon as Larry and Howard figure out how to divvy up the ET payment.
June 18th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
19163. Listen Lady ( and I use that term loosely) I have never called anyone ugly names or threatening to mame someone or treatening anyone in anyway. Not like yourself.

June 18th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Art. Thank you for the wonderful interview with Howard. When you get a post from Lucas and Justice they are the same person. They live on TMZ when an artical comes up about Howard, Larry, Dannielynn, Daniel, anything about Anna he is there bashing Howard. We laugh at him. I’m thinking he might be Virgie in drag.

I love Howie is moving his lips again!!!
So tell me folks – Larry testified he hadn’t seen Anna after what, April? Now suddenly Howie had him seeing her THREE weeks into to June? Father’s Day 2006 was June 18th.
Very interesting!
xcel:
I have a suggestion. Please find the nearest bridge and jump off it.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:44 pm
to Jill from Australia.
I wasn’t there to see Anna take drugs and neither was anyone else….
Dr.Perper & Wecht both said the pills were not forced down either she nor Daniel.
When I saw the ‘clown video’ it reminded me of how my son looked and acted after a seizure – like he was in another world.
Gina and Larry have both said she had seizures so a lot of the ‘drugs’ she took could have been to control that.
By the way, my son was prescribed 4 or5 different medications to prevent his epileptic seizures.
Does this mean that he was a ‘drug-addict’ or that he was ‘addicted to drugs’?
Little do we know what happens in the real world, even though we think we know everything…I personally learn something new every day. I hope you all do too.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
It is a real shame that after all the work Larry put on that “nursery” he now has to leave it behind. I hope the construction and other preparations did not tax his precious health. May Dannielynn grow up to hate his guts.
June 19th, 2007 at 1:45 am
Art, thank you for the article. I enjoyed reading about how Howard is doing. He should give more of these interviews to let us know more of the truth. Hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day.
Howard, thank you for the interview. I have personally been wanting to hear more about how you are doing. By far you have been the most professional person in this whole media frenzy. Quiet and lay back for the strike! Hope all is well and that you had as wonderful of a Father’s Day as possible. Good luck. Look forward to hearing more from you.
June 19th, 2007 at 3:19 am
well lets wait and see how the will goes, I still thank Larry should be working with mmoney of his own to take care of Baby Danni,she don’t need a star father, she needs an everyday dad, to greet him when he comes home from real work to support her,I do believe the Marshall’s money is out,and the Media is getting tied of poor Danni, she needs to be training for walking and not at the cameras at all times smiling infront of that camera with larry. Larry got to start doing smarter thing with her that goo goo , and that 1-2-333333333ur up. Virgie will make a good grandma and her husband looks so kind, they will do a good job for two wks. this summer when larry is away photosing. or whatever he does.
June 19th, 2007 at 5:46 am
Lizbeth, how sick of you to wish Dannielynn grows up to hate Larry!!! That is a really hateful statement. You do not know Larry, so stop bashing him!!
June 19th, 2007 at 6:32 am
Hi Anne,
May I first say I appreciate your ability to address my discussion, vs cheap personal shots. It is a trait many here are unable to obtain.
Clown Video:
How do you know Art’s pal Greta would deceive him? How do you know Greta doesn’t have the entire tape? We don’t so I asked the question (to which I don’t see an answer).
I see no one addresses the FACT that Barth is the only one that fought to keep out the tape IN ITS ENTIRETY. I have to ask myself why. Not a major point to me, I see it only as Art using it for a distraction to the real point; TWO deaths. Whether Anna was zonked then, months before her death, does not carry much relevance to me. We know she was an addict, whats one more time ‘loaded’ prove?
Rhonda: I see you are one who can not support your view without personal attacks. Psst, read again. He FIRST says Daniel’s “last” Father’s Day”. Paragraphs later Howie switches it to a previous year. No need to apologize for your error, we all make them. You also fail to address my question: Why wasn’t Daniel with her for 2006, the year she said ‘Daniel hates me’?
LuLu: Your CTV style explains it all. As you see, I am posting with the same nic I did there. Shame you can’t say the same for I see you have never posted on the ANS case as LuLu and only post to another case there.
HW Marion – If deceitful Art didn’t delete or clip posts you would see truth, not what he decides best dresses him. I responded to your so called ‘slap’ with FACTS.
FACT: He changed my response and posted only what he wished. So much for his ‘truth’.
Marb – Can’t address or debate the FACTS, how sad you think two deaths are your game. Play on
XL:
I will continue to delete profanity, harsh personal attacks and attempt to whack flagrant misprepresentations and defamation if my own reporting tells me it’s false. Many posters’ epistles would never pass the sniff test for a bonafide editorial page, much less a news section, but to play in this arena, we have to sometimes adopt different standards and hold our nose. It’s a jungle, and the web is a magnet for a variety of insects, pests and skunks.
Hope this doesn’t rain on your garden party, or curtail your passion, so write on. No reason to whack, or “deceive” you, today.
Art

Oh that’s really nice of you. Wishing a child to hate her only living parent.Loser.
June 19th, 2007 at 7:11 am
I was really happy to see Howard holding Dannielynn and working with Larry so her life can be comfortable. So cute to see him with her again, a girl can never have too many men that love her and look out for her.
June 19th, 2007 at 8:39 am
#144, Vivian, you are bent. Larry can’t use Howard for a damn thing. Howard is the executor. Larry is just Dannielynn’s father. He doesn’t control Anna’a assets. Go get yourself a life. You have been back and forth all over the page. What do you want?
June 19th, 2007 at 9:17 am
Some people are so pathetic until it makes me sick. I would like to ask as simple question to all of the Howard K. Stern haters. What in the hell has Howard ever done to you? More than half of you probably had never heard of Anna Nicole Smith before Daniel’s death and some before hers. What shallow minds we deal with! All of you Howard haters are just doing the fool and need to get a life of your own. IMO, something has to be drastically wrong with people that hate so deeply or even at all. You know the old saying,”Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words cannot harm me”, well, that’s wrong. Words can do a helluva lot of damage. We, as people and human beings need to be more compassionate towards our fellowmen.
Jesus was already crucified and he rose. Now you’re trying to crucify Howard and he won’t fall. He’s still standing. Give it up people. I believe in Howard K. Stern as many many others do. I believe he loved Anna and Daniel more than life itself, and still loves Anna’s little angel very deeply. She is such a blessed one to have the love of not one, but two dads in her life. The two men need to continue to love her and God will do the rest.
June 19th, 2007 at 9:19 am
It’s good to hear from Howard K Stern. I feel sorry for him. He loved Anna so much. I hope people will finally be nice and fair to Howard. Bless you Howard 🙂
June 19th, 2007 at 9:20 am
Oh, and one more thing, GREAT interview Art 🙂 THANKS
June 19th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Art,
Do you know how the situation stands regarding the stolen property that Shelley has and the issue of Horizons? Can Anna’s estate sue for the stolen property?
June 19th, 2007 at 10:01 am
Art,
Do you have an update on the stolen property that Shelley has and can Anna’s estate sue to get them back? What about the issue of Horizon’s?
June 19th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

Saw the pictures of Larry and Howard with Dannielynn, glad to see that Howard is still involved in Dannielynn’s life. I still think that Larry is wrong for trashing Anna like he did and his comment of “He feels like a rock star” because of all the press around is in my eyes a very sad statement. The only reason he is Known by the world is because he had sex with Anna,but then again it is us the public that helps make people like him famous.
I think it is really a shame that the 2 most talked about celebrities in the world are famous for having sex (Paris Hilton,Larry Birkhead) They have contributed nothing to this world and yet we the public make them famous.
As my Mother used to say what is this world comming too?
June 19th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Howard, I am so happy you got to see DannieLynn and that you and Larry are working together to make sure this little girl Has LOVE, from Larry’s Family as well as yours. . I hope that Larry lets your family see her as well. As for as Virgie, Let her see her AS LONG AS someone is at Dannielynn’s side ALWAYS. I send my Thoughts and Prayers to Both of you and your familes.
June 19th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Larry seems like a boy to me and Howard a man..I think Larry can learn a lot from Howard. I would like to see Howard move back to CA so Dannielynn can be raised by her ‘two’ dads since she unfortunatly has to grow up without her mommy.
I would let Virgie visit by cyber camera or video ph only..
She is just too toxic for me.
June 19th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
With all the things said and being said about Howard, I still trust his judgment in whatever he’s trying to accomplish and I still believe in him. I still say this is just the beginning of good things to come for him. He will be fine. He is such a class act. The media and others are pissed at him because he won’t grant interviews and/or allow them into his and Anna’s personal life. Rightfully so, he shouldn’t let them in. I think the Sterns raised a fine young man.

June 19th, 2007 at 6:42 pm
to Excel, i know the facts so far. I saw the FLA courtroom drama/followed the Bahama drama/read a lot posted here/ heard and know more of what is on the clown/smown tape than many have seen/ saw interviews by many of ANS real friends/ saw interviews of ANS fake friends/ saw and read about ANS reality show/ read and saw Dr Perper et al ME report/ saw the funeral in and outside the church/know about ANS seizures/breast implant pain/Hashimoto disease that she had/saw numerous pictures and interviews of ANS/saw C-section video/saw ET& LKL interviews/saw Christmas video/saw ANS’ family Christmas video/followed the Marshall trial/saw nasty and nice comments on other blogs, etc. etc. etc. Think for myself(do not buy into spin). Done my research, now do yours. Came to the conclusion that I am waiting to come around to LB fully, but believe that HKS is/was being used as a scapegoat. I wish HKS/LB/Danielynn the best in life. Do not wish for Danielynn to hate her dad like a previous poster said(that is wrong to wish such a thing). Will not join in the bashing/trashing of a dead woman who is not here to defend herself. Wish VA gets couselling to deal w/ her personal/courtroom losses. Hope that LB/VA/Opri/FS can ask for forgiveness for what they did to Danielynn’s mother.
June 19th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Also, this is not/will never be a game to me. Yes, 2 ppl died tragically (one CASE CLOSED/other pending). Have shed a few tears w/ the sincere grievers in this case. Have shed tears for ANS/Daniel/HKS/Danielynn(ppl i did not know). I saw 2 young ppl that had their lives ahead of them that are now deceased. I see 2 men and a baby left to pick up the pieces. The only thing that i do not have a real feeling for(will wait for the court battle) is the Opri/LB suit and countersuit(they’ll have to work out that one thru their lawyer…popcorn and soda in hand for that one). This whole case is tragedy of Shakespearian proportion. The only winners,imo, are the tabloid media outlets who have made a possible fortune off this tragedy.

Howard;
I know its been a trying time for you in the last few months,and my heart goes out to you.
I however was thrilled that you had the chance to see Dannielynn again.I am sure the tears were tough to hold back.
Any man can be a father , but it takes a real man to be a dad.
Happy Father’s Day Larry and Howard.
June 20th, 2007 at 12:23 am
Lucas,
It seems to me you are very interested in this clown tape for some reason. You keep mentioning it over and over. I wonder why. Could you be worried about what else it may show? Hmmmmmmm
You seem to be protesting a little too much about one tape. I do recall someone who had been protesting too much before, and was pointing his dirty finger at Howard while he himself was sitting on the witness stand, showing an edited version of the clown tape he stole, and lying through his teeth.
At first I thought you were someone in O’Quinns camp, but now after re-reading your posts, I have to wonder if you are Ford Shelley. Hmmm?
June 20th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Amy,
Why do you feel the need to state here that Howard reads any particular site? People should be able to read any site without being exposed. That’s why the email addys are kept private.
Also, only the one who owns the site should know who is reading. Sometimes it’s really best to say nothing.
June 20th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
Howard, I am so sorry for your loss. Those of us who aren’t interested in making a “buck” off of the senseless loss of Daniel and Anna send our sincere condolences.
I’m sure Anna would have lived the way she wanted with or without Howards presents. The challenge with her weight, her depression and her kooky family members would have been enough to make me depressed also. The business that she was in, let’s face it – the pressure is there to look for an occasional excape. The roller coaster of being hot one day and out the next…most will never face these kinds of pressures or criticisms. Most would never have the guts to go after what she did. And even be the character that she was and know that this was her gift. It takes all kinds to make the world-go-round.
I just think it is so unbelievably sad that Daniel was lost and to see her endure the pain of his loss. We could all see it, she was not the same. I would have loved to see her somehow find peace here on earth and be here for her daughter, Howard, and Larry – but somewhere in the back of my mind – I know she is at peace with Daniel looking down at Larry and Howard, knowing they will do the right thing.
June 21st, 2007 at 5:25 am
Calm,
Petty games mean little in the deaths of two young people. It is a big world out here. As you see, I am not silenced. The story isn’t over yet. 😉
Being banned from suppression is freedom silly. I consider it an honor. It was quite a compliment for Coldwater to try and keep all my posts. LMAO! I had to request my works be removed.
Like Art, CTV often chops off the truth trying to smother the real story. Ever wonder why Art doesn’t answer the tough questions? Why he had to omit mine when I asked them? I asked them again in another area here. Think he will delete them again?
June 21st, 2007 at 11:13 am
Debbie 6/20 9:29 pm…..u have expressed my sentiments to a T. So many have trashed ANS based on what they read or saw in the tabloids, and on the reality show(much of which was not totally real). Her real friends knew her and loved her when the cameras were not on. I think that one of the greatest betrayals for her wasn’t men/girlfriends/business associates, etc(it was family betrayal). I bet you that after she saw her mother on tv and after ANS did the famous ‘Mommie Dearest’ video, she went back home and probably cried herself to sleep. That is what ‘burns’ me to this day about VA. Most ppl, no matter what, usually think that they have their mother’s unconditional love(imo, ANS carried that lack of motherly love thruout her life and to her grave).
protect Danielynn6/19 3:12pm…i have often said that restraining orders were LB’s options for alot of the VA group(u came up w/ a great compromise). Supervised video cam visits is another option. The only exception is ANS’ father and anyone else who has been charged or suspected of child molestation(they shud never have any contact w/ Danielynn whatsoever). How sad ANS must have been when she finally got to meet her bio-dad Don Hogan(during her Playboy days), only to find out what he allegedly did w/ children. That must have been yet another thing that drove ANS further into depression. ANS’ tortured soul is finally at peace now.
June 21st, 2007 at 3:14 pm
I see people writing that Howard has a little niece (Dannielynn). That is bs at it’s finest. How in the hell can he be her uncle? People, are you crazy?

Lucas is not really of sound mind. He thinks that there is only one person with multiple personalities. He does not comprehend that there is a majority of us that believe Howard is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. He also omitted the fact that he has been worn by TMZ for his behavior and would get thrown off if he did not watch himself.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 am
LIzbeth 6/18 11:46…the things i wish that Danielynn will/cud do to LB is not as harsh as u suggest(if she hates him, it will only damage her emotionally). I want her to ask him the really, really tough questions that no one is asking him now(preferably hooked up to a lie detector or something else that wud only ellicit the absolute truth). I have 5 or more questions of my own. She will grow to love him(no doubt). But as she grows older and older she will have many piercing questions for him that might not match w/ what he fed her thruout her life. IMO, Danielynn will grow to idolize her mother in spite of all the negative crap that are out there about her(a lot of children do this especially when they did not know a famous parent). Fear not, Lizbeth, LB is thinking and sweating about that day. I believe his conscience will bother him as maturity sets in and time passes.
ps.. can you think of some questions that might be going thru her mind right now(if she cud speak)?
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:36 am
Art, i don’t know if Excel or Lucas is married, but i see a love connection in their future. This story floating around out there about LB and the blond Dana Lynn(wud this be the same lady that was on the beach w/ LB when ANS was 5 months pregnant/at FLA courthouse/at the KY home/at KY Derby/at ANS CA home on Father’s Day). How does she feel to hear that LB now loved ANS and wud be w/ her if she was alive(and loved her too much). My understanding is that LB has now denied the marriage rumors. Who is/was Byron and where is the lie detector machine. Why does it matter anyway, he is sooo ‘cute’ and many fans wud want to have his baby plus remember he rescued Danielynn from that hell hole that her mother(who carried her for 8-9 mths and cared for her til her death)had her living in, right?. LB really needs to speak to his fan base because i don’t think they got the ‘stop bashing my daughter’s mommy’ talking point. LB’s fans usually congrat. him and then proceed to rip into his baby momma.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:51 am
Hey Art, some of these posters seem to take umbrage at the terms dad/father/uncle when describing HKS. How about a compromise(kind of long tho). ‘The adult male that your mom trusted, loved,wud have married 2/23/07 if she was alive’ or ‘stepfather-to-be’ or ‘chosen-dad’ or just ‘chosen-one’. Hang in there Art, noone told u the road wudn’t be rocky.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:15 am
Why does LB’s Myspace say he doesn’t want kids? Shouldn’t he take that off since he is living the life of a “rock star” now and the world’s most popular father? Who is the infamous room mate Byron? Did he move in with LB at Anna’s mansion? Why hasn’t anyone seen LB’s twin borther or parents in this whole legal mess? Howard’s family united as ONE and was there to support him, show their love and respect for Anna and Dannielynn………….hmmm…..very interesting!
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:31 pm
#182, You don’t agree with me because I think he should be called MOD, (my other dad) He can’t be her uncle when he married her mother. That’s bs. Let’s get this lie straight right now. She will know what to call him when time comes.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:37 pm
Marb,
I can think of a question that might be going through Dannielynn’s mind right now if she could speak. She would say where are all of the people that gave me all of that love and attention in the beginning. Where is the guy that was hugging and kissing me and my mom all the time for the 1st five months of my life? She would say He looks like the guy that came to visit me and hug me on Father’s day. She would be right! Howard is that guy.
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:19 pm
xcel 157-
Right. I Totally believe you.
It really doesnt matter what HKS does. Does it? He can be cleared by the Fla. police, cleared by the Bahamian authorities, trusted by Larry Birkhead, could save a bunch of legless orphans from a burning inferno,write the next great American novel, be the first man on Mars, or donate his eyes to Dannielynn, in your world and some others he is and always will be the bad guy.
Whats the point of dealing with people like that?
June 22nd, 2007 at 8:49 pm
It is hard to keep from crying!!
For all the idiots that have spewed trash about Howard, the truth will come out. It already is, little by little. More power to you Howard and Larry. Truthfully – I think Larry is doing great with DannieLynn, but he has a true partner in Howard.
HOWARD WILL GO TO HIS OWN GRAVE WITH EVERY FIGHT HE HAS TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ANNA, DANIEL AND DANNIELYNN.
June 24th, 2007 at 10:11 am
Oh, EJ, that was so sweet, what you just posted up above.
June 24th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
In continuing from my 6/22 1:36am post, Lb needs to really request that his diehard fans quit bashing ANS. LB seems to have changed his mind somewhat about whether ANS was raisng their daughter in a hellhole. He also has decided that the drug issue was not totally as he made it seem(too bad ANS is not here to witness this 180 turn). I have always believed in karma. Those 2 nannies(illegals from Haiti who were hired by FS) must be sweating right now. In their society in Haiti, the dead haunts the living when things are left unresolved. After the way they attacked ANS, i bet they are not sleeping well since her death.

I thought i read some were that the house that larry and dannylyn is living in belong to howard or hot lips is this so? Is there some way we can get ahold of howard k stern in the bahamma to give him moral support.

Poor Art, it seems like you are getting court tv’s and tmz’s castoffs.
Just ignore them and keep up your very excellent reporting.
July 2nd, 2007 at 5:27 pm
Art…this was a wonderful interview of Howard as there are so many of us that wanted to hear from him and know that he is okay. He doesn’t realize how many of us are out here wishing only the best for him unlike the mean people in this world who wish evil things on people just for laughs. We know how he loved Anna as some of us have experienced true love and devotion to someone. If you haven’t had that kind of love that is unconditional then you can not empathize with someone like Howard. You could tell he had that kind of love the way his actions were and they speak louder than all the words in this world. So much for the mean people in this world. I hope we can forgive them as they don’t even understand their mean ways. Howard we love you and want you to remember Anna with the love in your heart that we know is there.
July 5th, 2007 at 5:08 am
What a relief to find Art Harris’ report on Howard K.; it seems many people have been waiting for that, including myself.
I always knew Howard was a good guy, from way back when I used to watch the way he looked at Anna on the Anna Nicole Show. It was love, the unconditional kind of love that is really so rare. It’s unmistakable when you do see it.
As someone else said, maybe Howard’s greatest fault was in loving Anna too much, even though it could also be said that the heart has an enormous capacity and there is no such thing as too much love to give.
I hope that Howard can eventually heal to a point where he can allow himself to love someone else and, in so doing, be able to let someone do things for him and love him as he deserves. Maybe right now it feels as though no one will be able to take Anna’s place in any way. Her beauty alone, as well as her personality, were undeniably unique.
But I pray for you, Howard, along with all the others who are praying for you, and I know that things are going to get better for you, finally. You will be with Anna and Daniel again someday but until that day comes, hold your head high and know that many, many people love you and care about what happens to you. You have more support than you might have ever thought possible.
God bless you, Howard. Things are going to get brighter.
July 5th, 2007 at 5:21 am
I really hope Patty and her malignant throng of rabblerousers don’t find Art Harris’ blog and attempt to annihilate the good in it by spewing forth their usual brand of commentary.
Fortunately, Art is up to the task of occasionally jumping into the fray for the purpose of encouraging some semblance of respect and courtesy. It’s too bad TMZ found themselves incapable of doing likewise.
July 10th, 2007 at 3:18 am
it’s nice to read something positive about howard k. stern, who has been so maligned in the press. i have thought for a long time that howard loved anna nicole and daniel. i have seen footage of all three of them and howard seems to pay so much attention to daniel. i don’t think that he would harm either of them. at the funeral service, howard spoke about joining anna nicole and daniel when his work is done on earth. howard, i believe there is a purpose for your life, you are a capable person and i pray that your life will get easier. this is a real tragedy, and a story that has touched the hearts of many people. people always want to blame someone, but it seems as though it’s a terrible accident that the people who loved anna nicole have to live with. time heals all wounds.

I AM GLAD SOMEONE HAS ENOUGH SENCE TO SEE THE TRUTH. WHY PEOPLE KEEP POINTING FINGERS AT HOWARD ILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. HE WAS A LOVING FRIEND, COMPANION, LOVER TO ANNA. HE TREATED HER WITH KINDNESS & RESPECT. IF HE KNEW DANNIELYNN WAS HIS OR NOT WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME.IT TAKES MORE THAN SPERM TO BE A DAD & HOWARD WAS A GOOD DAD.I AM GLAD THAT LARRY HAS STEPPED UP TO BE A GOOD FATHER TO DANNIELYNN. IM ALSO GLAD THAT HE HAS LET THE WORLD SEE HER BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY, BUT I LIKE SEEING HER PRETTY FACE.THE BEST THING FOR DANNIELYNN THOUGH WOULD BE TO HAVE HER MOTHERS ARMS AROUND HER.IN MY EYES HOWARD IS DANNIELYNNS “STEP” DAD & HE NEEDS TO PLAY A BIG PART IN HER LIFE.HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS THERE FOR ANNA WHEN SHE WAS SICK.HE WENT THROUGH HER ENTIRE PREGNANCY WITH HER.HE WAS THERE FOR DANNIELYNNS BIRTH & HE WAS ANS SUPPORT WHEN DANIEL DIED. I NEVER GOT THE HONOR OF MEETING ANS, DS, DLHMB,OR HKS SO I CANT SAY I “KNOW” THEY WERE THIS OR THAT. WHY DO OTHER PEOPLE THAT ALSO NEVER MET EITHER OF THEM FEEL THEY KNEW THEM ENOUGH TO SAY NASTY CRAP ABOUT THEM? I KNOW ANS WASNT PERFECT & SHE HAD HER PROBLEMS, BUT WHO CAN SAY THEY ARE PERFECT & BE TRUTHFUL…. NOONE !! ANNA WAS A GREAT MOTHER WHO HAD A HORRIFIC LOSS AFTER A JOYIOUS BLESSING. WHO WOULDNT NEED TO BE MEDICATED? CHILD BIRTH ALONE IS HARD ENOUGH & IF YOUVE EVER HAD A BABY YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THE POST PARDUM DEPRESSION IS TOUGH, BUT THEN YOU ADD THE DEATH OF YOUR SON ON TOP OF THAT. THEN YOU GET YOUR MEAN, NASTY PEOPLE SAYING ALL THIS CRAP & THEN YOU FIND YOUR “MOM” ON TV BASHING YOU. MY GOSH IM SUPRISED SHE COULD EVEN FUNCTION AT ALL.HKS DID NOT HARM ANYONE IN ANYWAY & PEOPLE SAYING THE MAJORITY BELEIVE THAT MUST BE THE VOICES IN THEIR HEAD. THEIR DEATHS WERE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT & THE DR.’S PROOVED THAT. WHAT IS IT THEY CANT GET? POEPLE ARE SO JUDGEMENTAL & FULL OF HATE. I PRAY FOR ANS & DS TO BE IN A PEACEFUL PLACE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN & I HOPE THEY DONT KNOW ALL THIS BULL CRAP IS CONTINUEING TO GO ON.PEOPLE JUST LEAVE HKS ALONE, HASNT HE SUFFERED ENOUGH. I HOPE DL GROWS UP & FINDS OUT HER MOM WAS A LOVING & WONDERFUL PERSON AS IS HOWARD. THEY ARE NOT WHAT ALL THE HATERS SAY. I PRAY FOR HKS & I HOPE HE FINDS PEACE IN HIS HEART. I SUPPORT YOU HOWARD K. STERN , ANNA WOULD BE PROUD OF HOW STRONG YOU HAVE BEEN IN HER HONOR & NO MATTER WHAT YOU NEED TO BE THERE FOR DL TO LET HER KNOW HER REAL, TRUE MOM & NOT THE MEDIAS VERSION. XOXO, SUE G.

I hope that Howard is doing well, I hope he get’s to see Dannielynn as often as possible. And once he’s cleared of eveything he’s been accused of he starts suing people that includes Lb.if LB only waited for Anna to grieve for Daniel and get over giving birth she would be alive today. LB along with quite a few other people hounded her till she could no longer take it. And as for saying Howard killed her & Daniel for her money what about Dannielynn she would inherit it all, i think Howard knew that baby wasn’t his but he didn’t care he loved Anna & would have raised it as his own which is what she wanted that’s why she put HKS name on the birth certificate, it just seems to me Larry has an easy life now,nice house plenty of money(thanks to selling pics of DL) after Anna died you hardly saw Howard have her(DL)in the media eye did you.I am just sad that two people are dead & the little girl he loved is gone.I think people should get on with their lives & leave him to grieve in piece.And the pig that broke into their home give back Anna’s belongings their Dannielynn’s now and i hope you go to jail for breaking in & stealing what didn’t belong to you especially the day after Anna passed away what sort of a friend are you. And i think when DL grows up and looks back she’ll know who was trying to do the best for her & who wanted her for a money making machine. Best of luck Howard and try to be happy & keep walking with your head held high.

Howard,
Why did you not fight for Dannielynn?
I think Anna would want you to raise her.
Anna did not want Birkhead near her nor Dannielynn.
If she had not died you would have been her father.
YOU are Dannielynn’s real father.
Howard, you are a real gentleman.

All these posts about poor Howard are sickening! That Jew only wanted the money he thought Anna Nicole was going to give him, and then he wanted the baby for the same reason. Stern is just another parasitic, hyena Jew looking to steal from the goyim! They are all alike, and no Gentile should ever trust one of them.
