Larry Birkhead Refuses To Let Pesky ‘Insider’ Cameras Stop His 17-Month Old Daughter From Grieving

7:54AM Mark Graham | Larry Birkhead and integrity go together like peanut butter and mayonnaise. While we have never held him in anything even remotely approaching regard, we think that this clip might one day go down as his lowest moment. That goes for those creeps over at The Insider, too. This clip of Birkhead trotting out Dannielynn to the Bahamian gravesite where her mother is buried repulses us on more levels than we care to count. But we’ll try. More »

Tabloid-Friendly Larry Birkhead Makes His Private Grieving Moments Work For Him

9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | As father Larry reportedly enters final negotiations with the E! network to co-star in a reality show with daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Colby Dexter Fortensky Birkhead, sources close to the events continue to cast the Genetic Sweepstakes winner in a sinister light. Beyond the strenuously denied blow-job bombshells, we now have the testimony of former Birkhead bodyguard Mark Speer, who tells the NY Daily News of the time Larry arranged with paparazzi to be photographed grieving at the grave of Anna Nicole’s son: “They had arranged to wait in some bushes at the cemetery. They took pictures of Larry pretending to be sad and emotional at the grave site. Only the Splash guys weren’t quite satisfied, so they asked him to do it again, and for me to get out of the picture. We did three takes. That was the first sign to me that Larry was in it for the money.” [...] More »

Dannielynn To Be Slightly More Coherent Than Her Mother On Her Own E! Reality Show

8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Ignoring for a moment the outrageous claims that she was genetically engineered to keep her greedy gay daddies in handcrafted loafers and Bahamian houseboys well into old age, the fairytale ending we all dreamed of for Dannielynn Hope Smith Birkhead appears to have finally come to pass. Only days ago, she celebrated her first birthday, opening dozens of.gifts at a lavish party. (Her favourite: a real, semi-dehydrated pony from “all your loving godparents at ET and The Insider.”) Now, following in the unsteady footsteps of her mummy, she’s already scored her first E! reality show: The still unnamed reality show project is under development at the E! network. It will focus on Larry and baby Dannielynn’s life after Anna Nicole Smith’s death, according to a TV insider. More »

Tabloid Baby Milestones: Dannielynn Turns One

7:00AM Defamer Hollywood | We thought we’d take a moment to put aside the scurrilous claims of videotaped, babydaddy-on-executor action being made in Rita Cosby’s tell-all, and instead focus on this Insider footage of a 1st birthday party thrown for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead by doting pop Larry. (In Cosby’s defence, between the “pink ballerina tutu” and “little girl pearls,” this party was pretty gay, even for a one-year-old girl’s birthday.) We know it’s a cliché to say, but it really amazes us how quickly highly exploitable children grow up: It seems like only yesterday that The Insider was showing us exclusive images of Dannielynn being pried out of her mother’s stomach in their heartwarming C-section birthing video.

Larry Birkhead’s Mad As Hell: A Round-Up

8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | As much of the world spent their Monday evenings funnelling turpentine into their ears, hoping the primitive technique might somehow wash away the indelible vision of Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern engaged in “a compromising, intimate position,” the two men figuring most prominently in the outrageous claims made by Rita Cosby’s new book have begun to fight back. A round-up: On a Larry King Live guest-hosted by TMZ’s Harvey Levin, Birkhead again dismissed the allegations made in the book, insisting it belongs next to “Harry Potter in the fiction aisle,” among “similar, made-up acts of wizard-on-wizard depravity.” [transcripts.cnn.com] More »

When Howard Met Larry: Rita Cosby Drops A Dirty Bomb

6:30AM Defamer Hollywood | Last week, we were teased with news of “shocking” material contained within the pages of former MSNBC host Rita Cosby’s bombshell-laden new book, Blond Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death. For a conspiracy-hungry public who never quite warmed to Howard K. Stern’s svengali-like presence and his sudden cosiness with overly highlighted babydaddy Larry Birkhead, it instantly conjured up a host of sordid scenarios – everything from lusty man-on-man trysts to black market baby sales, from systematic bimbo-druggings to involuntary face-painting. Now, a leaked manuscript reveals that Cosby’s claims include all of the above, and more: Sordid passages in the soon-to-be released book by former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby describe how Anna Nicole and her friend allegedly caught Stern and Birkhead with their shirts off and their pants around their ankles in a Los Angeles home. Jackie Hatten, described in the book as one of Anna Nicole’s closest friends, said the men were engaged in oral sex. More »

Did Larry Birkhead Swap Dannielynn For $78 And A Tootsie Roll?

7:30AM Defamer Hollywood | OK! magazine’s dramatically unspecific allegations yesterday that Larry Birkhead is not the upstanding, profoundly moral soul we’d expect an Anna Nicole Smith ex to be left us to speculate on our own about his torrid secrets. Now, TMZ dumps lighter fluid and a match on the smoldering coals with suspiciously well-timed rumours that MSNBC anchor Rita Cosby’s dishy Anna Nicole tell-all – conveniently available Sept. 4! – claims Birkhead slipped Howard K. Stern something entirely different: Rumours are swirling about the book, Blond Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death, due out next week. TMZ has heard Cosby will say she has documents that prove Larry Birkhead essentially bought the baby from Howard K. Stern. The publisher is mum until next Tuesday. More »

‘OK!’ Dumps The Birkheads Due To Vague – But Damning! – Scandal

8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Those tender-hearted moralists at OK! magazine – who wrestled publicly with whether or not to print the pictures from its excrement-crusted Britney Spears shoot – are at it again: They now say they are dropping their planned exclusive coverage of Dannielynn on her first birthday. Since this can’t possibly have anything to do with the glut of father-daughter pictures we just saw in Us Weekly, there must be some other, far more scandalous explanation – and there is! Please ready yourselves for earth-rending allegations that, unfortunately, can only be discussed with tantalising vagueness: American magazine OK! has made the shock decision to drop Anna Nicole’s ex Larry Birkhead from a $US1.7 million deal, alleging he has “tricked us all”.

Dannielynn Comforted By Footage Of Her Drugged, Incoherent Clown-Mum

8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Rest easy – all is well at Birkhead Manor, even if Us Weekly’s cover story on Anna Nicole Smith’s last living heir somewhat disconcertingly crops daddy Larry out of the picture. (At least we’re hoping those disembodied hands are Larry’s, and not Tony Potts placing the one-year-old in a duffel bag for transportation to a contractually mandated appearance at Access Hollywood’s studios.) And while the “$US472 million baby” may tragically never get to meet her mummy, Dannielynn will at least be able to experience her through the multimedia shrine her father has erected in Anna Nicole’s honour: “Larry says that it’s important Dannielynn knows about her mum,” his older sister, Judy Birkhead tells Us. “He’s always telling Dannielynn how much he loved Anna and how great she was.” More »

Any E-mail Titled ‘LARRY BIRKHEAD’S STRANGE BITE MARKS’ Will Probably Get Read

6:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Extra reports they aren’t from sometimes slashfic lover Howard K. Stern, but from little Dannielynn herself: “[She's] got six teeth and she uses everyone of them everyday on me. I’m like breakfast, lunch and dinner!” Further pressed to weigh-in on recent starlet troubles, he adds, “I feel sorry for all these girls that they can’t learn a lesson from their own mistakes!” More »
