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

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.

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.

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?

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!

wow. Dannilynn still looks sooooo much like Larry! soo identical. too cute!!!

I don’t think it can be “poignant” when the baby-daddy is selling the rights to his “vigil” to the highest bidder.

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.

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*!

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….
