Lost amidst the debate over whether or not Howard K. Stern is a murderer is this fact:

Granted, Virgie doesn’t get naked and bend over (thank goodness) to milk money from rich, famous husbands. But she does try to deny the father of a baby custody to his child so she can profit off the death of her daughter. That ain’t so nice, either.

Indeed, TMZ has learned Arthur has filed an appeal, attempting to block the ability of Larry Birkhead ability to take baby Dannielynn to the U.S.

The crazy, selfish, money-hungry mother of Anna Nicole Smith has objected to a judge’s ruling allowing Birkhead to take his little girl to the States, providing that he returns with his baby for a June 9 custody hearing.

Arthur’s appeal is unusual to say the least – after all, she is a grandmother who herself lives in the U.S. Ironically, she is the one who argued that Anna and her son be buried in Texas and not the Bahamas. Now, she wants Dannielynn to stay in the Bahamas.

There will be public court hearing tomorrow. But there’s a response from The Hollywood Gossip staff right now: Virgie makes a baked bean-throwing Hugh Grant look rational.

** Update: Hours after we ran this post, a Bahamian judge denied Virgie’s appeal, calling it “weak” and ordering her to pay $3,000 in attorney’s fees for wasting the court’s time.
