Howard probably hates her as much as he hates the rest of Anna's family.

UPDATE: In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Larry Birkhead says: Despite their filings, both Ms. Opri and her attorney received notification making them aware that I would be out of the state of California taking care of my daughter until the conclusion of an upcoming June custody hearing in the Bahamas. Although at this time, the public is not aware of the unbelievable circumstances which led to me firing Ms. Opri, the only question at the end of the day is, how much money will Debra Opri be paying me? Thanks to the efforts of my Bahamas attorney, Emerick Knowles, I am fortunate enough now to be spending time with my daughter, Dannielynn. TMZ has obtained a court document filed by Debra Opri in which she claims that Dannielynn's daddy has refused to pay for legal services. In the petition to the court, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Opri claims Larry Birkhead "has refused and continues to refuse to pay [her] for any of her services." She now wants a judge to step in and force Larry to engage in binding arbitration. In the document, Opri claims she "spent hundreds of hours working on Mr. Birkhead's case," which the documents say were at a cost of $475 an hour. As TMZ first reported, Birkhead and Opri parted ways when their relationship went south. Opri then presented Birkhead with the mother of all legal bills -- totaling nearly $650,000 -- charging him for travel expenses including steak dinners, lobster take-out and laundry service for Opri's husband. Opri told TMZ that the bill was "fair and reasonable." www.tmz.com

Larry Birkhead filed suit against Debra Opri today. From www.tmz.com Larry Birkhead just filed a lawsuit against Debra Opri for allegedly defrauding him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. In a lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Birkhead claims an MSNBC reporter hooked him up with her. He says Opri said she was willing to represent him free of charge, because "the publicity from her representation of Plaintiff would greatly benefit Opri's legal career." Birkhead says shortly after hiring Opri, he did an interview with the MSNBC reporter who was asking questions about confidential documents she shouldn't have had. Birkhead says Opri told him she had given the reporter the confidential info as "payback for the client referral." As TMZ first reported, Birkhead made a deal with NBC Universal for $1,050,000 to appear on various shows. The initial check to Birkhead was for $865,000. Birkhead says without his consent, Opri deposited the money in her client trust account. Indeed, Birkhead claims he "specifically advised Opri that she was not authorized to take control or possession of any of the funds..." Opri then turned over $200,000, leaving $665,000 in the trust account. Birkhead, who claims conversion, fraud and legal malpractice, says he repeatedly demanded that Opri release the money but she refused. Birkhead then fired her.

The final custody hearing in the Bahamas was cancelled today. Judge was ill. No new date has been established. www.artharris.com Also, Larry and Dannielynn will be on with Greta Monday night, and Larry King on Tuesday night. Greta's interview with them was at Anna's Studio City home.

wow!! Opri just Took his money and put it in her complete control? I think he has a pretty good case against her. Surely this isnt normal lawyer practice ? How could she deposit a check made out to Larry without his signiture on it? I know banks would never allow something like that.

Actually, according to Opri, Larry signed the contract that stipulated a fund would be opened for the money that came in from his interviews. From what some attorneys have said, it is standard procedure.

LOL I'm addicted to it, Chewie. I believe he truly loved Anna also. I ran across some new photos of them in the Bahamas on Getty...link below. Howard is still in the Bahamas. He had Anna's Will filed in California and will find out on July 16 if he is appointed executor. If so, he and Anna's CA attorney and Bahamian attorney will then start listing all of her assets for the court. I haven't read anything else about him lately. The little teaser I saw of Larry's interview with Greta for Monday night, had Larry talking about Howard. So, I'll be watching to see what he has to say. Dannielynn looked adorable, as usual, in the the little clip that I saw. http://editorial.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx

Yea, she really is a cute baby, so sad she couldnt have her mama.. I dont have cable so I cant get some of those neat cable lawyer shows, I know id be addicted, "as it is now".. I listen to endless talk radio...and thats where I get most of my news...Its kinda like those shows though, people call in and give thier opinion, I just dont have to sit down and watch...I can blair it out loud and walk all over the place... BB will start soon and then my butt will be sitting way too much.. the feeds are the death of me..LOL.... let me know what happens with Gretta's show... I also think that Larry and Howard were closer than every one made it look.. They had to have had some sorta friendship to have both cared for Anna and still remain with her at the same time.... What a tragic and messy end to her life... I miss her as well, I use to love to watch her- she was just so fun and always put a smile on my face from her crazy ways and I kinda miss that...

Chewie, here is a little clip of Larry and Dannilynn from Greta's show. Hopefully, after the interview on Monday night, there will be more available. http://www.foxnews.com/ontherecord/index.html LOL about BB. I have a lot of yardwork to do now because I know once BB starts, none of it will get done.
