Anna to Be Released Soon, Who Gets the Body?

Anna Nicole Smith[3:07] UPDATE: A Florida judge has ruled that he will not release the body of Anna Nicole Smith until he can determine the next of kin.

[2:00]
TMZ has learned that a Florida hearing is underway to determine details for the release of Anna Nicole Smith's body.

A California judge is clearing the way for Anna Nicole Smith's body to be buried, but the question remains -- to whom will the body be released?

Moments ago, a California judge withdrew his request to put a 10-day hold on Smith's remains, meaning her body may be released and buried, pending a corresponding ruling from a Florida court. A decision is expected in the next few days.

47. Howard K Stern should get the body.. She hated her mother. Her mothere wasted no time bashing her daughter... Her mother should take her ass back to her home and stay there. She shouldn't be allowed to see here granddaughter either.

49. Piss on her corpse then toss the carcass in either the Atlantic Ocean; better yet - find a nasty smelly swamp to toss it in - bout all she was worth.

You friggin losers who adored this skanky slut - piss off. She was worthless when she was alive -a nd just as worthless today.

She is responsible for the death of her son - she got what she had coming; Stern should be next (we can only hope).

50. ...Anna's mother will get the body - further enraging HKS who is about to go under the quicksand of death and drugs.....at this point the ONLY ace in the hole he has is Danielynn who I think is in extreme danger at this point.......Howard was so obsessed with everything Anna that a murder/suicide (him and the baby) may be the only way for him to go in his mind.....maybe he thinks then they can all be together........is anybody else thinking like me?.....

52. Maybe HKS and OJ should live together. The two most hated men in America.

54. I hope that whoever gets the body will make sure 2 things happen:
1) DNA is taken - that baby ABSOLUTELY needs to know who her real father is.
2) The body is buried next to her son's.

I am not so sure about the ANS and mother relationship, or what I believe about the mother. ANS's hateful words are pretty typical of a self-absorbed drug abuser lashing out at someone that tries to tell her she needs help. (I know, I have been the one trying to help a junkie friend). Also not so sure about all the beating and abuse ANS accused her mother of. Again, lashing out to "prove" the instability of someone trying to help.

Don't get me wrong - the mother doesn't seem to be a shining example and probably has problems of her own. I just thought all the footage of ANS hating on her mother looked liked a petulant child/drug abuser.

If the mother was abusive, why in the WORLD would ANS let her mother raise the son ANS "loved so much" for quite a long time? Sorry, it just doesn't add up.

55. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THAT SHE AND HER MOTHER'S DISAGREEMENTS WERE OVEREXAGGERATED FOR WHAT WAS AT FIRST TO MAKE HER A 'MORE INTERESTING PERSONA' WITH A 'TROUBLED PAST'. I ALSO THINK THE CLAIMS THAT HOWARD CONTROLLED HER AND WHO SHE TALKED TO HAS SUBSTANCE. DID ANYONE SEE THE TAPE THEY SHOWED ON THE NEWS WHERE HOWARD'S TELLING HER TO PICK UP HER DRESS, WALK THIS CERTAIN WAY, DO THIS? VERY ODD.... I THINK BODY SHOULD GO TO MOTHER, BUT BE BURIED BY DANIEL... OR EXHUME HIM TO TEXAS TOO TO BE WITH HER. AS LONG AS HOWARD LOSES I'LL BE HAPPY.

56. Do people really think Anna loved HKS??

Look at her face when he touches her. Look at the pictures of her bedroom, no sign of sharing the room with a man.

I dont think Anna loved him, she couldnt stand it when he touched her. Come on the woman didnt love any man. Whatever happened to her in childhood scared her like that.

58. Her mother was willing to LOVE her - which means she was even willing to let her go in spite of the pain it caused her. HKS EXPLOITED ANS and fed her addiction. Virgie didn't beat her! Who the hell is saying that? Virgie is a retired cop and a good, down-home woman, dumbass! Howard K. Stern was the ultimate abuser (and killer, whether direct or indirect) of ANS! He isolated her and deliberately kept her drugged-out, because it served his OWN purposes!! His are the actions of the classic emotional batterer and sociopath. If you can't see what's textbook and completely obvious - get your head out of your ass and read some psychology books!

Her mother's love was unconditional. How is a drug addict supposed to see that? Drug addicts aren't RATIONAL! HKS's "love" was conditional (non-existent, actually) - hence, the isolation of everyone who loved her, and the lack of rehab for her!! Virgie gave birth to her; Virgie should be entrusted to properly bury her.

Besides, when HKS is brought up on homicide and other Federal charges, wouldn't the decision to give him ANS's body be regretted???

59. And she probably hated her mother because she didn't want ANS slutting around and was probably the only person who told her "no" ... it's not cool to be a drug-addicted whore.

60. She had a will for a reason, the executor makes the decisions. cut and dry.

Bury the women by her son, not in Texas where she ran from.

What is the point of keeping her body, they have the DNA (plenty of it) for testing. Bury the women before she decomposes.
