Larry Birkhead takes Dannielynn to visit Anna Nicole Smith’s grave
Larry Birkhead and his daughter Dannielynn Hope made a poignant trip back to Nassau, Bahamas to visit the gravesites of her mother, Anna Nicole Smith, who passed away February 8, 2007, and her brother Daniel, who died on September 10, 2006, three days after she was born.
Even though 17-month-old Dannielynn may not understand what was happening, she laid a little pink toy on her mother’s grave and whispered "Mama." Larry told Jann Carl from Entertainment Tonight in an exclusive interview that,
It’s tough. Even though she doesn’t understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom.
Larry is determined that Dannielynn know who her mother is and makes sure that Anna Nicole is present in their home.
I keep a lot of memories around. I quiz her and she knows Mama. I say, ‘Where’s Mama?’ and she’ll give Mama a kiss on the picture.
Controversy surrounds Anna Nicole and Daniel being buried in the Bahamas, and when asked about the journey there, Larry replied,
I don’t like the fact that they’re here, I never did. I know that Daniel didn’t want to be here and I know that his mother was only here because of what was going on between us with the paternity question. To me it feels really odd.
And when Dannielynn is older, Larry will give her the chance to decide whether or not the Bahamas are the final resting place for her mother and brother.
I’m going to leave the decision to Dannielynn when she’s older. It would probably be very hard, if not impossible to take both of them and I definitely don’t want to separate them.
To view the multi-part interview, tune in to Entertainment Tonight and The Insider tonight.

What a bizarre and sad situation. I feel very badly for this little girl. Why must her father say and do everything on camera? I would want privacy. But I am not him. Guess he’s paying the bills.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I think this whole thing is starting to get a bit too publicized. I mean Anna Nicole is no longer with us and Larry should respect that and keep these private matters just that, private! I don’t see what anyone is getting out of this. Seeing the baby at the gavesite and showing it on t.v.
I know a lot of things Larry and Dannielynn have done have all been covered on the t.v. but there has to be a point where it stops and Larry takes Dannielynn and just moves on and stops putting this baby in the spotlight.
I understand that the media may still be interested in this whole family but I think enough is enough. JMO

Why does everything this baby does need to be broadcast on Entertainment Tonight?
He is making money off of this tragic little girl. It’s a shame that she lost her mother and brother and the only one left seems to want to get rich out of it.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
This made me so sad, my heart aches for this little girl without her mommy. Larry seems to be doing a wonderful job, reading about what he is doing brought tears to my eyes. Having a little girl myself it really gets to me. But I am sure her mom and brother are looking down on her. She is growing so beautiful. May God bless this little girl and her father.

Dannielynn is adorable. Such a beautiful little girl. And despite what others are probably going to post, I don’t blame Larry for having ET along while they visit Anna’s grave. I’m sure he has quite the hefty legal bills from what Anna and Howard put him through (fleeing to Bahamas to avoid him) and he needs money to secure security for Dannielynn as well. I hope Dannielynn grows up knowing who her mother was and she is not a stranger to her. Larry seems like he will do the best for her. I can’t get over how cute she is! What an adorable dress. Larry sure does seem to know what he’s doing! I was worried for Dannielynn after Anna died, but everything seems to be turning out ok
February 5th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Having had to visit a parent’s grave from an age slightly older than Daniellyn I am appauled that this wouldn’t be kept private. There will be times in her life where the grief of not having a mommy will be incredibly painful, she is already in the public eye, you would think this very sacred and special visit would be kept private. I am so very saddened by this.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
My heart aches for the little girl every time I see Larry appearing with her on another photoshoot, another interview, another exclusive video. I’ve refrained from commenting before, but this time he really went too far, IMO. Dannielynn visiting her mother’s and brother’s graves should be an intensely private matter, not something to be shown on entertainment news.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Wow Larry, just wow…
February 5th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I find this to be inexcusably inappropriate. A camera crew? This poor girl is never going to be normal.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
You know, I think that its sweet. She is a very public child. She was concieved born and has always lives in the spot light. I dont think he is selling her out, I think he is selling their story to make money to SUPPORT her. I really do believe that he is doing all of this FOR his daughter.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
If Larry had not gone to the grave site they would be saying he didn’t care. As for ET being there if not them, I’m sure some paps would be camping out to take a picture and then the same thing people would say he is getting paid. This saga is still going on. If Virgie can get paid by Access Hollywood for every statement she makes then so should he. AP report talks about Virgie asking for money 6 days after Daneil died for money to show her griving. She wanted to cash in on her dead family bones , but you want to get mad at Larry for having ET with him. I hope we can all see her growing up as the years go on. And if he didn’t bring her along, then we would hear what a ass he was for not having her there. He can’t win to lose
February 5th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Does this man have no shame? This make’s me sick. Why would he take that little girl AND a camera crew to her Mother’s grave?- for publicity and money. SHAME ON ENTERTAINEMENT TONIGHT AND LARRY BIRKHEAD.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
I actually think he’s doing this fairly sensibly. Yes, I’m sure there’s an element of money involved, but lets be honest, if he tries to hide her the paparazzi are going to be trying to photograph them every minute of every day. It’s much better to work with the magazines and organise for a professional, and surely much less stressful, photoshoot. With her background she’s never going to get the chance to grow up like a normal child – I think Larry’s really trying to go about it in the best way possible.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I think that Larry is doing his best as he can as a father. Although doing it in front of a camera is something I’m not a big fan of.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I think its also wonderful what he is doing for her. I think everyone has an opinion about this situation and its no ones buisness but his. If he wanted to do it on camera its his own choice.
IMO people need to stop judging him and live your own lives.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Why exploit this little girl and such a personal experience???
February 5th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
“IMO people need to stop judging him and live your own lives.”
Once he decides to stop giving the public opportunities to judge him by shoving his daughter in front of a camera crew every chance he gets and exploiting her for money and attention, I’m sure the public will be happy to stop judging him. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Clearly, Larry enjoys getting burned.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Ok, this is just wrong. What is the point of getting it on TV? Is ET giving him money?

February 5th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I almost think it’s better off he goes to the paps so much…this way they can’t make up stories about him and his daughter. He’s always very straightforward with the public and because of it, there have not been any scandals or stories made up about them since Anna has passed away. Also, Anna herself used to let Entertainment Tonight into her house all of the time. So I don’t think there’s a problem with it. Larry really seems to love his daughter and he’s doing a wonderful job taking care of her and that’s all that matters.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
ITA with Lauren, Alli, and Michelle. I hardly think he’s trying to exploit her. As Alli pointed out, the paps would probably be chasing them and trying to take pictures of them every moment of every day if Larry didn’t do these TV and magazine appearences.
For example, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck never do magazine shoots or TV appearences with Violet, and the poor little girl and her parents are constantly followed by the paps. I mean, they can’t even go to the library, the farmer’s market, a restraunt, etc. without being photographed. Mind you, I am not saying that they are doing anything wrong by choosing not to do magazine and TV appearences. I am just pointing out what life can be like for celeb children if their parents don’t do magazine and TV appearences with them.
Also, I personally think there is a double-standard when it comes to Larry and Dannielyn. I mean, when photos of the Jolie-Pitt kids, Suri Cruise, and other celebrity kids get published in magazines, nobody says their parents are trying to exploit them. Nobody bats an eye when those parents talk about their kids during interviews, either.
True, Larry is not a celebrity. However, Dannielyn is, and so was her mother. Therefore, like Alli said, she’s never going to be able to have a totally normal childhood. Anyway, I must ask, why the double-standard?
February 5th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
LAUREN-
Your comment doesn’t make sense. How about your worry about your perfect family, and let Larry worry about his. If Larry was keeping Dannilynn locked behind closed doors, I can gurantee that you will be someone passing judgement on that. I thought the grave site visit was touching.
“My heart aches when I see this little girl”
Good, she is in a good place with her loving father. I wish people would stop trying to turn a good thing into a bad thing. Give it a break, it’s his daughter and he knows what is best for her.
Beautiful little girl!
February 5th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
ang doesn’t know what to think….
February 5th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
I think some of these comments are unfair. The paparazzi would of followed them no matter what. At least he has control of the situation. Her mother was famous…the death was huge news, then everything else. I think Larry B has kept as low a profile as he could…he doesn’t live in LA and he could of totally exploited this. He is the solo dad of a beautiful little girl and I don’t think he is a multi millionaire either!
I think he is doing a great job and its the anniversary of her mothers death… Give the guy a break!
Jennz
February 5th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
The color in the photograph is stunning…so bright and alive…just like Dannielyn.
Like some of the others, I think Larry is doing this to support his daughter and provide a future for her. His legal bills much be astounding.
From what Larry has said, he is doing a remarkable job raising Dannielyn…especially given their less-than-normal circumstances.
I have no doubt Dannielyn will turn out just fine!
February 5th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I think he is doing this for the good of Dannielynn. Like others have said, the paps would be all in their faces if he didn’t share with them. That would be terrifying for the little one. Also, we would hate for another Princess Diana case to come up, especially with a baby. This photo opt will also serve as a memory for Dannielynn because she will not remember the first visit to the graves. Also, I praise Larry for keeping Dannielynn close to her mother, and showing us all that he is trying to help Dannielynn understand everything about her mother that he can. This maybe helpful in her raising, and with her being raised in the public eyes, we hopefully will not see all this “Brittany and Lyndsey” crap going on with this family.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I just find it strange the hadn’t taken his daughter to visit her grave before now.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I don’t think he lives in Los Angeles which is part of why he isn’t followed by the paps. If he stopped these shoots there won’t suddenly be paps outside of his house.
Brad and Angie have done photoshoots and there are still paps chasing them.
It’s just wrong to bring the filmcrew to the gravesite.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Her hair looks a lot lighter than what I remember.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I also want to point out that, to be fair, this actually only the second time we have seen Dannielyn in recent months. The other time was a few weeks ago when he disccused her strabismus. Before that, however, the last time we saw Dannielyn or heard anything about her was at her birthday party back in September (not counting a few paparazzi photos that were taken of them in October and November. I don’t count them since it’s pretty doubtful that Larry actually asked for them to be taken.).
Considering that was five months ago, I’d say Larry is actually doing a very good job of raising Dannielyn away from the spotlight.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
What a beautiful little girl, I think Anna in the end would be proud.
_____________
I absolutely love CBB. IMO it is the only baby-parent website that has perfect parents. I was starting to wonder about our leaders of the future (our children today) but now that I see that there are so many perfect parents out there, I am rest assured.
Sarah’s note: Ha! That was good.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
one thing people are forgetting is that Larry Birkhead doesn’t make money from the paparazzi photos where as he does when ET, Access and other media outlets follow him and pay him for his “story”. So my question is at this point is he doing this for the greater good of Dannielynn or just trying to keep his face in the tabloids and put money in his pocket?
I think he’s done wonderfully with Dannielynn but she has been in the media quite a bit since her mothers death. Seeing her in paparazzi photos is different then seeing her splashed all over a publicized entertainment show. You can’t always control the paps but you can control who you sell your story to?!
February 5th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
I have to echo some of the previous posts. I’m getting really sick and tired of seeing Dannielynn on ET and the Insider which is one of the reasons why I have stopped watching that show. Obviously, Larry is receiving some sort of compensation from ET which he might very well need as he probably has a large amount of legal fees and he can no longer continue his profession as a photographer because his notoriety.
Why does every major milestone in this girl’s life have to be publicized: First trip to the US; first birthday; first trip to the grave etc. I would love to go a year without seeing this girl on TV. I do not believe for one minute that the paparazzi was going to follow Larry from LA to the Bahamas. Larry is not Tom Cruise; his movements are not chronicled every day.
Please Larry. Stop selling your stories to ET. Enough is enough.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I agree with those who say it is exploitation, because what 17 month old understands what death is? My child is 4 and while I don’t want to skirt around conversations about death, I hope my child continues to grow and mature before we need to have such conversations. Why doesn’t he just wait until she is older, and then they can have that poignant visit, with or without cameras? I’m not saying she has to be 15, but when she starts asking questions. Maybe that is at 3, maybe it is at 6, but it most certainly is not at 17 months.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
She looks so much like Anna Nicole. I hope that Virgie gets to see the little girl on a regular basis.
February 6th, 2008 at 12:25 am
I feel so bad for this little girl, something so private and sad sold for a few dollars. truly disgusting.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:00 am
Wow she looks more and more like her mom, the older she gets. Larry isn’t perfext but I think he tries his best and really loves his daughter. And for months before anna died, she was on et with dannielynn a lot too. And there’s no doubt howard or virgie wouldn’t do the same, if they had her.Not saying that makes it right, but I don’t think larry is a bad father. She looks like a happy beautiful child
February 6th, 2008 at 1:08 am
lulululu- I think it’s very sweet that Larry took Dannielyn to see her mother’s grave. I must chuckle, because another commentor claimed he should have taken her earlier, and you’re claiming that he should have waited until she was older.
Anyway, no, of course she doesn’t understand death at her age. However, I’m sure she does understand that her mommy is gone. The article mentions that Dannielyn laid a pink toy on Anna’s grave and whispered, “Mama”. Therefore, I think, in some way, she understood that her mother was there. Toddlers are a lot smarter than we give them credit for!
I must ask…If Michelle Williams decides to take Matilda (who’s a little over a year older than Dannielyn) to see Heath’s grave, would you claim that Matilda is “too young” to visit her father’s grave? If the answer is no, then why the double-standard with Dannielyn?
Oh, and speaking of double-standards, nobody has answered my question about why there are always complains when Larry goes to the media with Dannielyn, but hardly any when Brad and Angelina, Tom and Katie, and other celeb parents do magazine shoots and TV appearences with their kids. I don’t mean to sound nit-picky, I am simply very curious about why such a double-standard seems to exist when it comes to Larry and Dannielyn.
All of that said, I am afraid this post will be closed to comments soon if this negativity keeps up. I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally don’t want to see that happen!
February 6th, 2008 at 1:13 am
I forgot to add that I just can’t see Larry exploiting his daughter. It’s pretty obvious that he loves her very much, and would never want to do anything to harm her.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:18 am
LOL! I see how the ‘perfect parents’ get the love here, lovecbb and Sarah.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:28 am
CelebBabyLover The reason people probably don’t get as upset over Shilo’s parent’s doing that photo shoot with her was because they donated that money, they didn’t keep it for Shilo or themselves.
This is just my comment, it’s not directed to you CelebBabyLover:
Maybe Larry should have granted an interview with ET or whoever but the grave site should have been private. In my opinion that is a very personal moment that should have been shared with just Larry and Dannilynn and not the media.
Another thing, doesn’t Larry have control over Anna Nicole’s money? I know she was fighting the estate of her late husband but I was under the impression she still had a ton of money, so why would Larry need to make money off of ET?
February 6th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Celebritybabylover, I think it’s because they aren’t seen with their children at a cemetery visiting a loved one, not saying they don’t do that but they at least avoid the paps. When Angelina’s mom died, we didn’t see pictures of their kids at that time when she laid her mom to rest.Celebs sometimes have to walk a fine line
February 6th, 2008 at 1:49 am
It’s just really sad to think that if **Larry, howard or virgie had Dannilyn…they would all be doing the same thing!!
February 6th, 2008 at 3:08 am
Michele Williams just released a PR statement asking that she and her daughter be left alone. So hopefully I won’t know if she does or doesn’t take her child to the husband’s grave a year from now, all dressed up with coordinating bows in her hair. That is where the exploitation comes in IMO with this guy and the cameras. I have not seen the footage, just read the article here on CBB. So I can’t say how “encouraged” this whole pink toy/saying “mama” business is. But reading about it makes it sound exploitative.
I agree she is a beautiful child. I applaud the article I read here on CBB where the father spoke about her eye condition and educated the public so others could be educated on warning signs with their own babies. But I find this gravesite thing distasteful and over my personal ethical line. Thanks to CBB for leaving the comments open.
February 6th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Larry, dude, think about this. This is wrong. Didn’t you say you’d never exploit your little girl? This isn’t exactly “not exploiting”. ET does not need to monitor your every step. Not only is it not very interesting and it is very degrading to your daughter and the memory of her dead mom. Think about this.
February 6th, 2008 at 6:39 am
I am not going to judge Larry on whether he should have had a camera crew there or not, as it’s really not my business……but I do believe that he loves his daughter. She is a beautiful little girl, and looks more like her mother the older she gets. I feel so bad for Anna Nicole that her life ended so tragically, and she isn’t here to be a mother to this lovely child.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:46 am
If he was using his daughter wouldn’t he have had a big huge photoshoot for her first Christmas?
February 6th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I dont understand why he would bring her to a gravesite anyway. The little girl has no idea what it means at her age.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:47 am
so sad
February 6th, 2008 at 9:13 am
I also echo most of the posts … I have no problem with Larry taking Dannielynn to the grave but why wasn’t it done in private? We don’t see that many photos of them but the ones that we do see are all staged! I’m sorry, it just looks fake.
As for Michelle Williams taking Matilda to Heath’s grave, so what? She is notoriously private and wouldn’t call the cameras!
February 6th, 2008 at 9:15 am
In response to Celeb Baby Lover, Michelle doesn’t sell stories on Et about Matilda for money
Larry is Discusting and so is Et They make me want to Vomit
I feel for DaniLynn
February 6th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Regardless of what anyone says, it’s clear that Larry loves his little girl and has her best interest at heart. People (lot’s on this board) are so quick to be judgemental. He didn’t ask for this. He had a child with a woman who was very sad and had a lot of personal issues that we may never know about. Why is he being punished for that? He has the right to visit Anna and Daniels gravesites. Sorry, but I’m sure the media has been hanging out at her gravesite for the past day or two anyway, as her death anniversary is approaching! So WHAT!!!! Maybe Larry wants the judgemental public to see that all he wants is the best for his little girl. Geez, give the guy a break! Dannie looks great by the way. Larry is really into styling her hair and picking out cute clothes for her too!
February 6th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Arranging a photo op at a gravesite is sick. I’m sure Larry loves her, but he also loves making money off of her, whether under the guise of “securing her for the future” or not. There is no one in this little girl’s life who would not hesitate to schedule a photo shoot of her for money. Just because he doesn’t have photo shoots all the time doesn’t make the ones he does have any less exploitative.
February 6th, 2008 at 11:55 am
It doesn’t make sense that those people whining about Larry being public with some of these affairs are here posting about it! If you think he should stay out of the spotlight maybe you should keep mum about the subject yourselves. You obviously have some interest or you wouldn’t be here!
February 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
He has to pay the bills somehow . . . I don’t mind he took along a film crew. We often wonder about celebs in their personal lives. He’s just giving it to us.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
It’s sickening to think Larry would allow a camera crew, ET of all, to follow him and his daughter to Anna Nicole’s grave site.
I understand that Larry has to make a living. So get a job. Don’t exploit your baby daughter and her dead mother. I hate to say it, but Anna Nicole’s been dead for a year now. People are losing interest in his sob story. I especially like how he dressed the baby and himself up really nice for the cameras.
With that said, it’s obvious he loves Dannielynn very much. She looks well taken care of. However, I don’t think he needs to keep bringing up Anna Nicole’s untimely death whenever he needs money.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Does Larry have a job? Other than being Dannilynn’s dad?
February 6th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
This is probably the first time in a long while that I have felt this ‘dad’ was an idiot. What 17 month old child has any concept of what he was trying to do here? All done for the freaking cameras. He is going to burn himself out. Wait! His 15 mnutes of fame was up a LONG time ago. Just go enjoy your daughter and let her grow up normal….
February 6th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
celebabylover – I don’t like any parent who exploits their children. Like I said before there is a difference when the paparazzi are following you around town taking your pics and they end up all over the internet and magazines. The person obviously didn’t ask to be photographed and I’m sure if had the choice they’d not like the photos to be out there for all to see especially a private family matter. But LB is not the only one who I think “exploits” his child. I think that a lot of times Denise Richards does too. Angelina and Brad Pitt for example like someone said donated the money they got for Shiloh’s first photos. They knew exactly what they were doing and they knew exactly what the media wanted. Tom and Katie may have not sold Suri’s pics for a good cause but they waited to show her little face for months. Dannielynn on the other hand has been on t.v. since the moment she arrived.
Also to the person who said that if anyone else had this baby they’d be doing the same thing and the sad part is that your probably right. But it still imho is wrong. I think there is a time and place for certain things and this is not one of them.
And thirdly to Amelita – I did not personally follow Larry or his daughter to the grave and I did not post the images. I am only a person who came to a site who saw the photos and as a messageboard I think that anytime you click on it you are going to find people who agree and disagree about all subjects. I don’t think anyone here is saying “we are perfect parents” or that “Larry’s a bad father” but I think many on here like myself just feel like some things should be done in private and doesn’t need to be publicized to a national television show where we know Larry is making some money. Must be nice to have a baby to show off and just ring in the cast for practically doing nothing *rolls eyes*!
February 6th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Its clear that he loves his daughter but I think this is one step too far. Having photo shoots (if it is in need of gaining financial support for his daughter) is one thing but not by her mother’s grave. Its all very sad and a little eerie in a way.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I don’t think it can be “poignant” when the baby-daddy is selling the rights to his “vigil” to the highest bidder.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:35 am
wow. Dannilynn still looks sooooo much like Larry! soo identical. too cute!!!
February 7th, 2008 at 1:09 am
leni- He was a photographer before Anna died. I am not sure if he still is, though. In anycase, even if he still is a photographer or has another job, it’s probably still not enough to pay off all his legal bills.
carol- Actually, Dannielyn’s first Christmas was spent with her mother, and it hadn’t even been proven that Larry was her father. This past Christmas was actually her second one (but yes, her first with Larry). All of that said, I do see your point, and I agree with it completely!
asm1976, amelita and CTBmom, ITA!
J.M.- Good point! However, Larry also did magazine shoots with Dannielyn when she was 9 months old (it was June at the time, and he spoke about his first Father’s Day) and a year old. With the exception of the footage of her birthday party that ET filmed, both of those shoots did not depict private things such as visiting a gravesite. They were just run of the mill magazine photoshoots, similar to the ones that Angelina and Brad, Tom and Katie, etc. have done with their children…..and still he was accused of exploiting his daughter.
Granted, I realize that a lot of celeb parents don’t do a lot of photoshoots with their kids. For example, I’m pretty sure that the only magazine photoshoot Tom and Katie have done with Suri was her Vanity Fair debut. However, Brad Pitt and Angelina have done more than just introductry photoshoots with their kids. For example, in December of 2006, they did a photoshoot for People Magazine (along with Britian’s Hello Magazine) in Cambodia. Other celeb parents have also done multiple photoshoots with their kids. Yet I never once heard anybody say that they were exploiting their children.
Yet whenever Larry does any sort of photoshoot with Dannielyn, he is exploiting her! I just don’t get it!
February 7th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
This whole production is unsettling. The fact that Larry called the photographers and ET before he went to the grave seems unconscionable. Or perhaps it only seems that way to reasonable people and we are forgetting that Larry has morphed into this quasi-celebrity and no longer has normal values. Aside from how disgusted I am with Larry selling every waking moment of his life with Anna’s daughter, I can’t help but think…won’t Dannielynn resent this when she sees it later in life? Or will she be so maladjusted from having grown up in this circus environment with Larry that she won’t know the difference?

I just don`t understand why this photoshot of Larry and Dannielynn at Anna Nicoles grave was even made. They make untrue headlines like: “Dannilynn cries for her mama at Annas grave!” First thing: Little Dannilynn doesn`t even remember ever having a mommy, she only knows her daddy. Secondly Dannilynn probably only cries because shes tired or confused or because she don`t wanna give away her pink toy! So even though Larry grieves Annas death at her grave, his baby girl doesn`t. She don`t even understand what death means or what a grave is. If she were five year old I would understand it, but now it seems like its all a lie to make money.

If he didn’t do this, do you not think the paparazzi would be trying to get photos? No matter what happens, this case has always been very famous and I really think it would be hard for him to keep her sheltered up with the paparazzi always bothering them. At least this way, he knows about it.
That said, I agree that it is realy sad that Danielynn may never feel a real sense of security because cameras will likely be watching and following her closely throughout her childhood. It’s really, really sad.

As aperson on methadone, i worry that someone will do this again to someone, it is so easy to say the person overdosed when in fact all it takes is for someone to add 5mg to the drink and you die, and of course its :O they overdosed” ANyways I am so glad the the real father got the child and that he is making her memory live on.Its to bad on the other hand that they (the police) cant see the forest throough the trees!! and see she was murdered
