Fans are convinced that Larry Birkhead is nudging his daughter Dannielynn into the limelight. Larry and Dannielynn have allowed television cameras into their homes and their private lives. Hence, some carping critics believe that Larry might not be letting go of the "sad" legacy of his wife.

It began after the child's mother, Anna Nicole Smith, died inside a hotel room at the Hard Rock Café Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2007. Larry Birkhead took the matter to the courts to establish his biological fatherhood. He did manage to win his war against the mother Anna Nicole's boyfriend Howard K Stern. After that, Larry took Dannielynn home to Kentucky in order to bring her up.

Larry has revealed that he shares a difficult relationship with Anna Nicole's family. While his communication with Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur, is weak, he is also struggling to disprove her charges that "Larry is keeping Dannielynn away from her."

Larry explained, "I've never talked about that before, but I get hurt by that headline." He said Anna's mom has seen Dannielynn many times. If the grandmother wanted to see the child, she needed to call him anytime, he revealed.

He also agreed that his daughter is much in the spotlight.

He said they viewed a video on YouTube that portrayed her as "one of the 10 richest kids in America," agreed Birkhead, 44, according to Us magazine. She wanted to go to the mall. "And I'm like, 'No, it's not that. Trust me, it's not that.'" He said she lives a normal life, and treads a normal routine - playing the violin, singing, and dancing, he said.

He said his daughter is "everything" to him. Seeing her become so big is enough to make him proud. The child reminded him of her mother, even though her features change as she grows older. He is nostalgic and feels that it is like having a "little miniature Anna Nicole" just moving about in his life, according to ET.

But why is Larry still speculating about Anna Nicole and the child even after such a long time following her death, ask some critics. Why have the father-daughter duo appeared on a number TV interviews and reality shows?

Fans will not really know whether Dannielynn will become a star or not. Still, she has appeared on a number of interviews on television. Is it a way of pushing Dannielynn into the spotlight, or just showing that they are living a "normal" life? While those who like to crib and carp will not stop speculating, others might find hers to be the normal life of a celebrity child.
