Anna's Mom Tries to Stop Funeral!

UPDATE: A Bahamian judge is currently hearing arguments from Virgie's attorneys. The petition hearing began at 10:30 AM EST. The judge will make a decision this morning, based on the arguments.

TMZ has confirmed that lawyers for Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, have filed a petition in a Bahamas court, essentially trying to stop the funeral before Anna's body is buried.

Currently, the hearse carrying Anna's body has come to a stop, just yards from the church where the funeral is set to take place.

Leave it to her to try to upstage even her own daughter's funeral. She is a total disgrace.

How totally disrespectful is it to stop a HEARSE? I don't care if she's her mother or not. Virgie should be ashamed of herself.
