The Eyes Of The World Are Upon Us

All eyes are on Louisville this week.  The Kentucky Derby is just a few days away, and Louisville is the limelight for the "greatest two minutes in sports."  In the past few years, we've gotten coverage on "Entertainment Tonight", "Inside Edition", and other celebrity news shows for the star-studded Derby parties and the celebrity attendees at the Derby. But yesterday, eyes were on Louisville for another reason: Larry Birkhead came back home with his baby daughter Dannielynne. 

There was TV coverage on all four of the local channels, plus coverage on the above mentioned ET.  I have to say I was quite impressed that Mary Hart's reporting, too.  And I'm sure there will be pictures in the Enquirer and Star this week, too. But I digress.  Last week, the courts ruled that Larry Birkhead could finally bring his daughter Dannielynne home to Kentucky.  And what a better time for them to come back home to Louisville than Derby time! Just think - this will be baby Dannielynne's first Derby.  I hope one of the family members gets her a t-shirt that says "Baby's first Derby." 

Incidentally, it was during the Derby when Larry Birkhead met Anna Nicole Smith.  They met at the infamous Barnstable Brown Derby Eve party in 2003.  Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
