It’s Friday, and I reserve the right to get krunk with the headlines. Larry Birkhead’s former lawyer Debra Opri is holding his cash against its will. This is a long convulted story that involves television production deals and money for photo-shoots - all detailing Birkhead’s triumphant rescue of Dannielynn from Howard K. Stern. Unfortunately, most of the money for these deals was withheld by Opri and then she charged him for her services anyway. This chick is slick.

But something weird happened after the check was cut. Although the money was negotiated for Birkhead, the first installment — $850,000 — ended up in Debra Opri’s client trust fund account. Sources say Opri refused to give Birkhead his money and that is precisely the reason Birkhead fired her.

Sources say agent Perry told NBC to send the monster check directly to Opri, who then promptly put in her trust fund account. Network sources say Birkhead was pissed and began making calls. We’re told agent Perry has defended herself by saying Opri told her that Birkhead wanted the money in the client trust fund account, but that’s not the case at all. TMZ knows Birkhead is outraged, claiming he never authorized Opri to funnel his money into her account. NBC sources say they were just following the agent’s instructions.

Keep reading for the part where she has the balls to bill him. Heh.
