IMO, looks like a smear campaign started against Larry, just like against Howard. http://www.tmz.com/ Birkhead Not Fan-TAB-u-lous -- Lawsuit Imminent Posted Apr 18th 2007 10:00AM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Anna Nicole Smith If you believe the tabloids, Larry Birkhead is a deadbeat, IRS-defrauding, shoplifting, child-abandoning, secretly gay man who parties 'til the wee hours of the morning with beautiful women, impregnating some of them. A slew of tabloid stories have been adorning supermarket checkout lines this week, and we've learned Birkhead has had enough. TMZ has confirmed that Birkhead hired ferocious celebrity lawyer Marty Singer to sue some of the tabs for defamation of character. We're told Birkhead has told Singer that a few tabs have lashed out at him because he sealed a deal with OK! magazine to publish the first pics of daddy with Dannielynn. OK! paid dearly for those pics and the money is going into a trust account for the baby.

It isn't just "access" to her grandchild that Virgie wants, she wants her hand in decisions, including about any money and she wants to sue FOR the baby. Hmm, why not leave that to the baby's father?

Sea, exactly. It looks like there is no agreement between Larry and Virgie today in court. The bad news, Virgie's Bahamian attorney can not be in court again until June. They are appearing next Wednesday before she leaves. ET is reporting that the Bahamas will give Dannielynn a temporary passport to go to CA for a visit. Don't know if that will happen next Wednesday or not though. Outside of court, Howard said that this should have been resolved today. Larry looked happy, Virgie did not. Rumors are swirling that Virgie wants a full blown court case on custody now.

Court today...Larry is free to leave the Bahamas with Dannielynn. The embassy is waiting for Larry to pick up Dannielynn's passport. Howard and Larry said it was a good day in court. Virgie left with her head down. Before court MSNBC was stating that Virgie still wanted written visitation and a say over financials. I'm waiting to see if Larry has to return to court in June to continue this with Virgie.

Once he leaves the Bahamas with Dannielynn it's out of their hands isn't?

Larry Birkhead can leave the Bahamas with Dannielynn, at least for now. A judge has just cleared the path for Birkhead to come to United States with one string -- he must return with Dannielynn for the full custody hearing in June. Sources tell TMZ that Virgie Arthur objected to the ruling and could appeal. But that appeal may be too late. We're told Birkhead wants out in the next few days. And there's this -- Arthur's lawyer protested there were leaks in the case, and pulled out several TMZ stories that he said were posted "minutes" after the various hearings ended. www.tmz.com

Serate, no. The birth certificate was changed today, however, the Bahamas only gave a temporary passport for Dannielynn to "visit" the US. Larry has to go back in June to be granted full custody..he does not have it yet. Virgie is still fighting it. Larry, IMO, will return to the Bahamas, because he wouldn't want to have a problem.

Because all the court hearings have been there. It's their jurisdiction. Originally, Virgie had asked for and received a request that Dannielynn could not leave the Bahamas. Virgie is keeping this custody battle going in the Bahamas, because they favor grandparents rights, where the US does not.

Serate, I would guess (and its just a guess) that they have the hold over Dannielynn who is a citizen of the Bahamas. If Birkhead doesn't return and temporary custody runs out then that would be tantomount to kidnapping and the US gov't would be bound to arrest Birkhead. I don't think he would blow them off anyway, there is little doubt that he will be given permanent custody and will have done it all the correct and patient way.

I understand that but once he and Dannielynn physically leave the Bahamas how can they tell him what he has to do? How can they force him to return for the hearings?

My guess is that was a condition of him being allowed to leave w/ her. I heard on tv this morning that his father is very ill and is in the hospital. So LB is going to Kentucky to stay w/ him for the time being. They can't force him to go back, but he could be in a lot of trouble if he didn't. We had to send poor little Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba, after all.

Now, my question is this: since he is an American citizen, her father, and her only living relative, doesn't that make her an American citizen? If not, what about military kids that are born abroad?

I was born in Canada to U.S. citizen parents, so I was a U.S. citizen and also had citizenship in Canada. We moved to the middle east when I was very young, so I went to court to have my citizenship changed to just U.S. citizenship because it was pretty complicated at the time to travel to the middle east and it made more sense for my passport and citizenship to match my parents. The difference between children born to U.S. citizen parents outside of the U.S. and those born on U.S. military bases outside of the U.S. is that the children born on the military base can still run for President of the U.S. Children just born outside of the U.S. cannot. (I only know this because when I was 7 I wanted to be the first woman president and was quickly shot down down by my parents who said I could not.)

Dannielynn is not a Bahamas citizen...she is an US citizen. She could apply for Bahamian residency when she turns 18. Grooch, you are correct. It was a condition set forth this morning. Virgie wants a full blown hearing, and the Bahamas has granted that starting in June when their judge gets back from vacation. There is the Hague thing to consider also. I think Larry will return when he is supposed to. I don't think he wants a problem with further visits to the Bahamas at a later date.

Oh, and another reason he doesn't want to piss off the Bahamians, he is on the list for Daniel's inquest. He volunteered to testify.

If a child is born out of the country and the parents are US citizens, don't the parents still need to apply for US citizenship for the child? My understanding is that the parents need to do it before the child turns 18 and it is a quick and easy thing to do, but it needs to be done. I had a boss whose son is in the Navy and my boss's grandchild was born in Italy and is considered an Italian citizen. He needed to do some paperwork to make sure the child was an US citizen.

Hyper, are you sure? Danielynn was born in the Bahamas so I am pretty sure that is where she is a citizen. Her mother was American so she would be eligible for dual citizenship but only if Anna Nicole applied for it on her behalf before she died, and I don't think she did. Otherwise Grooch would be right and the child could apply for herself within a set number of years. She would also be eligible for citizenship because of her father being American but that is based on his name being formally put on the birth certificate and that's still in process. Until that step is taken she is not an American citizen, thats the way I work it out anyway.

Anna Nicole's Baby is Not Bahamian No URL available Posted by newsadmin 70 days ago View profile US commentators are saying that Anna Nicole's five-month-old daughter, having been born in the Bahamas, is a Bahamian, and, therefore, Bahamian law will have to govern her future. Unless, some other permit has been "fast tracked", this unfortunate infant is not a Bahamian. If she had been born before July 9, 1973 she would have been. However, after Independence, any child born in the Bahamas of foreign parents does not get Bahamian citizenship. But, within a period of 12 months after her eighteenth birthday, she can, upon application, be registered as a citizen of the Bahamas. As she was born out of wedlock, she would have her mother's nationality, which is American. Her putative father, Howard Stern, is also American, therefore, there is no question about her nationality. And as an American citizen should she decide at the age of 18 to apply for Bahamian citizenship, she will have to renounce her American citizenship before she can be registered. US commenatators are also mulling over the Smith-Stern marriage. At the time local press were told that the ceremony was just a "commitment ceremony" - not a marriage recognised by Bahamian law - to distract Anna Nicole from the tragic death of her son. Again a life lived in turmoil, has ended in more turmoil and it appears that it will take lawyers many years to sort it all out.

Thanks for the info Annie. Isn't that bizarre? I come from a family of immigrants. My mother is an immigrant, as is my husband, my sister's husband and literally a dozen others. Countries involved include: Austria, Norway, England and China. So we have had many reasons to deal with the dual citizenship issue, for myself and my children not to mention the discussions regarding other family members. None of those countries operate the way the Bahamas apparently does.

Also, if you are a member of the US military serving in a foreign country your children born in that country are considered US citizens. Not citizens of that country.
