139. This is simply sad. I really, really hope that she doesn't get anywhere re. stopping the funeral. Somebody must make the right decisions, and when family and others involved aren't able to do that, it's up to the court, I guess. Actually it is too bad that something like that has to be played out in a court room too. Civil discussion and determining last wishes should have been something the involved should be able to determine between them. And there really can't be any doubt as to what she wanted. Her mom wasn't there, so she wasn't able to hear her last wishes, but she should show her daughter and her significant others in her every day life, the respect of listening to them and following her daughter's wishes. Let her be buried now. Enough already. And, if she for some reason just can't bear the thought of having her in the Bahamas, lets deal with that later. If that is the case, she should wait. When it is clear who is Dannielynn's father, she should discuss the issue with him, and together they should proceed with what they might need to do, when they agree on it. I mean, one can understand that family might want their loved one close to them, e.g. so that Dannielynn gets the possibility of visiting her mother's and brother's grave when she gets old enough to understand - but obviously, there's no hurry. As long as Daniel is buried in the Bahamas, that is where she should be as well - just as she wanted. She would never have purchased those plots if she didn't intend on using them. It's not necessarily what she really, really wished for though, many factors were playing a role back then, she was in grief, in the middle of a stressful conflict with Larry B. etc. If he is the father, he and Virgie A. should really sit down and come to an agreement regarding what to do, when the time is right...

Suddenly something is happening, there's both sound and picture now...

141. Is it over yet?? PLEEEEEZ say YES !

142. Now it 's time to let Anna rest in peace next to her son. She loved him so much.
The next chapter in this drama, is find out who is the father. So the baby can
have some stability in her life, hopefully, her's the baby, will not live like it is
a three ring circus, like this funeral for Anna, has been.

143. Well, even FOX NEWS is trashing ET's interviews with Howard & Anna! And Stern Pressures Larry TODAY to sign a deal!!

Howard K. Stern Plays Hardball With Larry Birkhead

Anna Nicole: Stern Pressures Larry to Sign Deal

Anna Nicole Smith's two baby daddies (I don't know what else to call them) continue to be in a tug-of-war this morning, even as their beloved cash cow is readied for burial.

Overnight, attorney Howard K. Stern — whose hold on the situation is starting to slip — has been strong-arming photographer Larry Birkhead to do a couple of things: keep Birkhead's legal reps out of Anna Nicole Smith's Bahamas funeral, sign a contract deal with "Entertainment Tonight" and acquiesce even further regarding the future of baby Danniellynn.

Stern, as I told you the other day, has already had one secret meeting with Birkhead in which he cut out the photographer's lawyers.

I'm told that Stern has kept up the pressure on Birkhead, actually presenting him with contracts, sources say, in which Birkhead would join Stern for more exclusive interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider."

"Howard wanted Larry to sign so that it looked like everyone was in agreement, and that it wasn't just Howard benefiting from these deals," my source said. "Larry said the baby's guardian should sign the papers for him and the baby, but he wouldn't. So then Larry wouldn't."

At the same time, Stern is trying to negotiate separately with Birkhead, away from his attorneys, to sign a deal by which Stern would continue to be in baby Danniellyn's life and oversee her finances.

Stern, my sources say, is working as quickly as he can to effect these agreements before he has to turn over the baby to Birkhead, her biological father.

Sources say that Birkhead's representatives are considering taking legal action against Stern's side to prevent further communication between the two sides as soon as today.

The problem, sources also say, is that Birkhead — a novice in these games — continues to be intimidated by Stern.

"Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," both owned by CBS Paramount Television, have denied paying for interviews. But I'm told their method – it's semantics — is to "license" footage either directly from Stern or through a third party.

Recently, "ET" used Solana Productions of Southern California in such a deal. Neither Solana or anyone from CBS Paramount answered calls yesterday.

Anna Nicole: Dead, and For Sale

Today, Anna Nicole Smith — a ridiculous person who accomplished just about nothing in her life — will be buried in the Bahamas.

There are several wars taking place all over the world, not to mention famines; artists are hard at work, movies are opening, buildings are going up, diseases are being investigated. But hey: Anna Nicole is being buried, and "Entertainment Tonight" will be there for every cheesy second of it.

That's because "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," two half-hour shows syndicated by CBS's Paramount TV, have paid a high price for this honor.

Real insiders (not the kind you have to pay for info) tell me that Paramount TV cut the deal with Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole's lawyer and Svengali, right after her son Daniel died of a methadone overdose in her Bahamian hospital room last September.

Paramount TV has denied this, somewhat passively, so far. But my sources say it they paid Stern around $3 million initially, and that this was renegotiated right after Anna Nicole herself died on February 8th of this year.

Of course, we could believe that Stern — who in court told clueless Florida probate judge Larry Seidlin that he was living off his parents — just loves "ET." Anything's possible.

But the reality is that Anna Nicole's death has proven to be a ratings-sweep godsend.

Linda Bell Blue, the show's executive producer, previously helmed Paramount's ugly tabloid show, "Hard Copy." For years she's had to sit through Mary Hart's tedious, publicist-arranged interviews with low-level TV stars, just waiting for this moment: a huge celebrity death, in a sweeps month, and already contracted for!

As recently as last night, "ET" correspondent Mark Steines was reporting "from inside" Anna Nicole's Bahamas mansion — no mention of the fact that it didn't belong to her, and that the landlord is kicking everyone out.

Steines had "the inside scoop" about the B-list country singer who would serenade Anna Nicole into the next life, the color of her burial gown ("pink!") and what would be inside the coffin (with any luck, Anna Nicole).

Steines performs these interviews — as he has since last Nov. 1, when he had his first "exclusive" after Smith's son, Daniel, died — with a reasonably straight face.

He either knows he's skating on very thin ice and doesn't care, or doesn't get it and is happy to accept the money. In either case, he loses.

As far back as last November, the show's viewers were writing into "ET" forums on the Web asking how much the show had paid for the interviews, and begging them to stop.

On the topix.net forum for the show, a woman named Lana from Andrews, Texas, wrote on Nov. 6: "ET needs to rename their show The Anna Nichole (sic) Show. Every night it is about her. I wonder if there are any viewers that care to hear about her."

On Nov. 6, Dianne from Madison, Wis., wrote: "I think they might have finally driven me away from the show with all this Anna Nicole crap. How much is she paying them?"

The viewers were smarter than the show thought. That didn't stop Blue, Steines and friends.

Nancy from Richardson, Texas, posted this before Smith died on Feb. 8: "Get over her ... I am tired of all of the interviews they are doing with her. She sounds like she is either drunk or high. I have no respect for her and am getting tired of seeing her and all the interviews. She can't even talk without sounding like she is a drunken slut!"

Patti Horton from Altoona, Pa., posted this on Feb. 9: "I can't believe someone from E[T] hasn't questioned Anna Nicole about her drug use. Every night that she is being interviewed it is quite obvious that she is somewhere in la la land. I think they should of (sic) been more persistent in following that path than her new house. Some of the interviews it was all she coud (sic) do to talk. Was this a safe environment for this baby???"

Steines, of course, has a blog on the "ET" Web site. It's a hoot.

On Feb. 9, the day after Smith died, he posted: "When the news broke of Anna's death ... I immediately boarded a plane to Florida along with Khristine Eroshevich, Anna's close confidant…"

Steines acts like Eroshevich is just a pal, maybe another Playboy model. In fact, she was the model's psychiatrist, and someone who has yet to be heard from.

Eroshevich's few comments — including that she oversaw an ice bath for a dying Smith — have been limited to ... Steines, who despite his "inside" sources has not been able to secure Eroshevich for a real interview about these people and their drug use.

I doubt that will happen until Stern's usefulness has passed and his agreements with "ET" have expired.

Steines must feel a long way away from the two Emmys he received years ago in local news at KCAL-TV in Los Angeles.

144. Are we ever gonna see the beautifully made-up body they've been bragging about?

145. Rest in Peace, FInally, Rest in Peace with your beloved son...

146. Who is the half-naked white trash chick walking around the cars at the funeral. Her cheap dress is open-backed down to her butt.
She must be part of the press team and should be sent somewhere for a an improved article of clothing. Why do women think they look fashionable in such attire. I am not a prude. I have good taste and show respect for the dead.

147. I really hope Howard has time to read this. Howard, I know exactly what your dealing with in Virgie. My mom is the same way. I don't talk to her unless there's some kind of drama for her to get some attention. I look at Virgie and all I see is my mother. They even look alike. Virgie needs to be tested for multiple personalities or something of that nature. She's here now because she wants everyone to say "poor Virgie,she lost her daughter and grandson in just months apart". The truth of the matter is no one cares for her. No one feels sorry for her. How can you? She hadn't seen Daniel since he was 8 yrs old, now she wants to play super grandma. Her daughter(who wanted nothing to do with this woman)dies and now she appears wanting her HOME? Wake up woman Anna hated you and she hates you more for what you've put her bestfriend and lover through. Howard, Virgie has a serious medical issue. I promise as soon as the cameras go away so will she. Keep your head up. Worry about yourself and your daughter(blood or not) in my eyes she's yours. When my husband and I see you on TV all we keep thinking is you need to rest. It will help your soul. Anna is with you and always will be. She's very happy with you for taking control. I pray with you every night and wish you well. If there's anything a normal young couple like us can do for you let me know. Even if it's just to give you some words of wisdom.

148. re: Maureen..I do feel that anna must have suffered emotionally with regard to Birkhead's paternity suit and if in fact he stated he was concerned about her mental state after Daniel died...BUT that is probably his child too and she did have big problems. If the paternity issues were dealt with swiftly maybe all the deaths could have been avoided BUT Howard ANS personal advisor led her down his path the wrong path. What if someone took and conspired to keep your child from you? Besides I heard testimony that Birkhead sent gifts and had talked and was on much better terms with Anna. Larry truly loved Anna and the baby and Howard didn't like it. Really, it true, Howard committed many crimes in his interest of anna, larry did not. Sincerely, Kristy
