Court Says Not So Fast, Body Going Nowhere

Posted Feb 26th 2007 4:18PM by TMZ Staff

A Florida appeals court issued a stay Monday in the dispute over Anna Nicole Smith's body, ruling that her remains cannot be moved to the Bahamas until the court hears a challenge from the former Playmate's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur.

Arthur had filed a motion with Judge Larry Seidlin, asking him to reconsider Friday's ruling which paved the way for Anna to be buried on the Bahamas. He denied that request. Arthur also filed an appeal with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has now agreed to hear the challenge.

1. Oh come on. Please let this poor woman rest in peace already! And get the paternaty test over with so that baby can be with her father. HKS is going to burn in hell if he keeps that little girl from her daddy!

2. That is ridiculous, but just goes to show that everyone must have a Will and burial instructions.

3. I didn't know Larry has a twin brother. It's probably his baby.

4. Just cremate the body already, and then everyone can be happy and spread/bury her wherever they want! This story is disgusting in so many ways. That poor little girl! I just hope that she NEVER knows who her mother is! It'll devastate her!

7. Do you really think it matters where their bodies are buried anyway? A body is just a vessel during life, the soul is what matters, and the soul could give a shit less what happens to the body, so get over the freakin bodies already!

8. I don't exactly like Vergie but the law is in her favor the judge didn't do his job. He is supposed to make sure the laws of the state of Florida are upheld and he didn't.

15. vergie the mom is sick! I Lost a son born the same year as anna
When he died I Was so despondent.\
But Vergie was asked by the judge over and over what she said on the way to see her DEAD DAUGHTER For the first time in TEN
YEARS. SHE said what did you talk about on the way to the morgue she said FOOD WE TALKED ABOUT FOOD.
and we want Anna to be buried next to FOOD. AND NOT HER SON SHE SAID IT ALL
