76. So now who knows where Anna will be till tuesday, its obvious reagrdless who gets the body she needs to be buried next to Daniel. That is what she wanted. Her mom is cruel for trying to bury her in Texas she would never have wanted to be buried there.

77. I am totally shocked and appalled at the goings on in this courtroom...I have not seen anything like this since OJ 12 years ago..the judge is playing to the media like he's auditioning for vaudville...he's acting like he should be served on a plate with cabbage and potatoes..the laughing and shtick jokes are so out of order..now it ends with the judge schlepping everything onto another lawyer to listen to the arguements and evidence again and come up with recommendations by Tuedsay???? This is horrific and if criminal charges are not filed as a result of all the documents being made public (however they were obtained, TMZ?) then there is just no justice. A blind eye is being turned to the malpracticing doctors, the corrupt officials, the criminal pharmacies, the couriers, the enablers, the hanger ons, the potential daddies etc, etc, etc...all these people with very few exception have acted out of greed and desire for attention. I don't care what anyone thought of this woman in this life...we all deserve a better form of social care from the doctors to the courtrooms. Somebody, get a grip on this and lay down the law. This is CRIMINAL.

78. This is a tragedy. The victim is the baby. Everyone who is accusing Howard Stern of muder is ridiculous. He has been with Anna for many years and nothing has ever happened to her. Five months is not enough time to heal from losing a child. Having breast surgery after having a baby, and while being in a serious depression was a poor decision. Losing all that weight and not eating properly. There are to many issues that she was going through at the time of her death.The vultures are circling and the only person who is going to be hurt by theoutcome is the baby.

80. Let's think like a cunning mother who would want to be sure that her little girl was going to be taken care of. Lest we forget, Anna was fighting the family of her first marriage for billions of dollars of inheritance. Now, what sure way to assure that her little girl would at least stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the siblings than to produce a "Blood-daughter" of her late husband via sperm bank. I heard that it really could be a possibility and that would sure throw that particular court battle in her favor. Perhaps that is why Anna wouldn't reveal who the father was. There is so much room for murder here with a capital M. With Daniel gone, and now Anna gone, who's to mind the baby? There are just too many men who want that task now. Now, Zsa Zsa's hubby knows the truth about the father and he has publicly stated it is not him. I say it's time the truth comes out and a few of those DNA tests are done to find it.
I also happened to hear an interview with Howard who was saying he knew what Anna's wishes were--where everyone is saying "Preserve the body", let's just hope that he doesn't believe she wanted to be creamated (no body, no evidence either way!)

81.
ANS needs to be buried next to her son -

The crockidile tears of her fat slob mom are sickening & pathetic !!! Why didn't here mom cry like that when ANS's step father molested ANS ?! And where was the fat ass when Daniel died ?!

The family is a bunch of leeches too !!

I lost respect for Larry when her got the trailer trash mom involved !

He should have kept it man to man !!

And don't think for one second the mom & family are not making money ( blood money ) off of this whole fiasco !! they are media whores too !!

Respect ANS and bury her next to the love of her life * and the only one who was ever " loyal " to her !!! DANIEL !!

82. THE JUDGE SHOULD JUST TURN THE BODY OVER TO WHO HE SEES FIT. AND ORDER THEM TO BURY HER NEXT TO HER CHILD.... THAT IS WHY SHE BOUGHT THE PLOT. WHY MOVE HER AWAY FROM DANIEL.

ANNA REST IN PEACE AND I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.......

83. What a mess. I'm no lawyer but why not order Howard Stern to do the paternity test. Anyone's name can be placed on a birth certificate. Place the child in child services until tests can be completed to determine who is the father of this child. When DNA proves who fathered this child , she should be given to that person. If I were Mr. Stern and believed that I had fathered this child Nobody would have to ask me for DNA. I would have gladly given it to put all of the questions to rest. As far as who should get the body of Anna Nicole Smith. The solution is to bury her in the Bahamas with her son but, include her mother in all of the arrangements. I know that they had a strange relationship but, she is still her mother. Something else to remember. at one time her mother was raising her son , therefore she couldn't have been that bad of a person.

84. i am just sickend about this whole anna nicole case and where her body should be burried. her mother has SOME NERVE to try and take away anna's right to be burried in the bahamas. anna has clearly made it known that she didn't want anything to do with her family in texas! for whatever anna's reason was to not speak with them anymore....that was her buisness! anna's mother should want her daughter to be burried with her grandson! daniel was anna's best friend and has always been there by her side. if i was in their shoes, i would pick to be burried next to my children rather than my parents and there is NOTHING wronge with that! half of anna's heart was ripped from her chest the day her son died....let her rest for eternaty being burried by his side.

85. Some of these bloggers are nuts, on drugs and alcohol, or young and dumb!

Next of Kin = Vergie.
Baby = Next of kin = Vergie or real Father!
Delivering illegal drugs = Felony
Felony = Prison!
Aiding or causing two deaths = Felony!
Felony = Life in Prison!
Life in Prison = Drop the soap, and learn how to put lipstick on!

I hope the Halloway case helps, to extradite Stern and the Baby from a place that does not have extradition laws with the United States.
People need to stop going to those stupid Islands. There is way too much crime. I know when I went to Nassau. $550.00 dollars a night in a Third-World-shit-hole. The Jitney drivers were making drug deals with horrified bus full of tourists. That was back in 1992. Back then the only decent place to eat was the Greycliff. Most of the "Straw Market" was filthy, except the high-end stores.

I knew I would never ever go back there again. Heck the airport was full of big huge guys in military uniforms holding oozies, or how ever you spell it.
By the way Anna was a drug addict and alcoholic! She was always blasted “out of her mind” way back when she had that television show.

Stern did not "stick it out with Anna"
Stern was a leach, Pimp, and drug delivery boy!
Stern, all the men who worshiped Anna Nicole naked pictures, movies, and all, HATE YOUR GUTS!
Stern was there to make a buck. I highly doubt Vergie has it in her, to fight that old geezers family for money. You people are nuts.
Stern, will definitely fight for that money. What do you think he was waiting for? He was not “STANDING BY ANNA” he was “WAITING FOR THE PAYOFF” HOW DO YOU THINK THEY MET? That law firm he was working for “FIRED HIM” for improper conduct with a client! That law firm was representing Anna in her lawsuit against the Marshall’s.

Oh and the press and ET, with all that “BABY DADDY” ramblings? Grow up!

86. On behalf of ANS's mother, can anyone here imagine what it would be like to lose a grandson who you raised and then were denied contact with; then suffer the abusive words of a drug abusing daughter; then lose that daughter (who you love in spite of [mothers do that you know]); and then find yourself sitting in a room full of people who don't even know you and spewing venom to a judge about you based on hearsay, showing absolutely no respect for you or your feelings. One thing I am sure of, the judge realizes her pain. ANS spoke of whippings before she left home at 15. Can you imagine the kind of kid she was. It would seem she should have been shipped off to a boarding school or a nunnery. Daniel's father could probably really tell the story. She sold her body and soul and her mother has suffered immeasurably and will forever. I, for one, pray for her strength.

87. I saw a snippet of the hearing in Florida on Fox News last night - this judge is a piece of sh*t too!! Does ANS just attract that many losers - even dead?

Just as when alive - this skanky fvck is a friggin joke.

Dump the friggin carcass in a swamp somewhere and forget about it. It's just as worthless today as it was 6 months ago - back when she KILLED her son.

88. Will ANS 's body become a "cash cow" for the Bahamas ala Graceland style? If the executor decides to turn her home (if it is hers) into a tourist attraction, this means more $$$$$$$. How can anthing be decided until the issue of residency is settled? If she did not own the home (already a conflict in dates on immigration application and mortage papers) when her Bahamian residency papers were signed by Shane, she was not a legal resident:therefore, her child is an American citizen (as already stated by some papers there). So, why would the Bahamas have any jurisdiction over 2 American citizens? Is there an American Consul there to weigh in on behalf of American citizens? She still owned property in California. Too bad Daniel conventiently passed as soon as the new heir was born. Also, what does it apparently matter if HS is not the executor? The baby is key. Executors will get megamillions, but the one who gets the child has the golden egg.

89. all of these men crawling out from under rocks claiming to be the "dad" lets face it ms smith had a very flamboyant lifestyle...she's gone and has left her infant in the hands of an incompetant (Howard Stern) I don't see her mom being a better source...look how vicki lynn turned out...I know this next comment will ruffle feathers but she did have an unnatural relationship with her son whom she had said was her best friend and confident could there have been an incestuous liaison that produced Danni lynn?

90. Everyone that watched her show or interviews knew how she felt about her birth family. She should be beside her son now.She did not want to be in Texas. I personaaly hope that her lawsuit against the Marshall family is thrown out now that she's gone. No one else deserves that money. Let the baby's daddy support her like other dads do without all the free money. Watch these goons run for cover.
