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.

Story developing ...

451. Thank goodness for Anna's friend/bodyguard Moe Moe. He's one person in this unfortunante situation that has stayed true to his friendship with her. I hope Moe Moe will always be a part of Dannielynn's life no matter who the father is!

452. Virgie, Billy Smith along with "bias newscaster HICKS (ie Nancy Grace)" are in one word PATHETIC. Anna Nicole made her wishes clear to the entire world and they STILL don't get it!

Rest in peace Anna alongside your beloved son Daniel.

453. OMG woman, she didnt like you as her mother she refuse to have you see her daughter but you did anyway, you shoudnt have because it was against her wishes. She didnt want you at Daniels funeral, thats why she buried him in the Bahamas. You took pictures of your fat ass on his grave out of dispite, you are a cruel evil woman, you just want publicity. Anna was in the morgue for three weeks because of your nasty ass, just rottin away and then you wanted Daniel buried in Texas. She buried him there for a reason, bought a plott next to him for a reason. Leave it alone and take your FAT ASS home to Texas where you belong.

455. Virgie is a witch from hell...... What mother would stop her own daughters funeral? Hey why is everyone against Howard K Stern? Has anyone even thought about why her mother wants her body so bad? Money. It was so clear that Anne Nicole hated her mother... Virgie is a golddigger plain and simple. Someone is footing her lawyer bills and those trips to the Bahamas think about it.

456. The good thing about this is now we all can better understand Anna's disfuntion, and why virgie and that whole Texas Klan was left out of her and Daniels life all these years. virgie is a perfect example that you can't hide whats inside, she (virgie) has got to be the devils daughter. She don't care how her actions in these past three weeks make her look, She won't stop at nothing to get her way. Sadly we have not seen the last of this cow, Now she is going after FULL custodt of the baby after she originally saying she wanted Larry to have her, Larry better wake-up cause she's a tricky one.

459. THE WOMAN IS A SUPER CONTROL FREAK, SHE SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO IMPOSE HER DERANGED WILL ON HER DEAD DAUGHTER. ...ONE CAN ONLY SADLY IMAGINE WHAT ANNA MUST HAVE ENDURED WHEN GROWING UP UNDER SUCH A PERSON.
NOT ONLY VIRGIE TRIED TO IGNORE ANNA'S WISHES , SHE DEFIES THIS COUNTRY'S COURT ORDERS AND EVEN TRIES TO STOP THE FUNERAL IN THE BAHAMAS.
AT THE ROOT OF IT ALL MUST BE THAT VIRGIE WAS JEALOUS AND RESENTED HER BEUTIFUL DAUGHTER WHO SHE COULD NOT DOMINATE IN LIFE AND LETS HOPE NEITHER IN DEATH.
WITH A MOTHER LIKE THAT ANNA DOES NOT NEED ENEMIES EITHER IN LIFE OR DEATH.
IT WOULD BE A CRIME TO LET DANIELYN BE EXPOSED TO GRANDMOTHER DEAREST.,LET ALONE BE BROUGHT UP BY HER.
IN MY OPINION VIRGIE IS A VEXATIOUS LITIGANT WITH LOTS OF AN OLD RESENTMENT EATING AT HER....PERHAPS SHE SUFFERS FROM THE PRISON WARDEN COMPLEX.

461. If Virgie loved her daughter she would let her rest in peace where she is. It is all about VIRGIE. No wonder Anna Nicole left home at 15, I would to with a mother like that. My daughters can be buried where they want!!!!

462. First of all i think it is deplorable how you all trash someone for where they live, whether in a trailor or in a home. What we live in does not make a person. Second, I find it revolting how many of you down ANS because she had a drug problem, don't JUDGE anyone until you have walked a mile in there shoes. No one knows why she had this problem, you weren't her. Maybe you can blame it on her upbringing and maybe something none of us know. All i know is she was troubled, and only her and GOD know what was troubling her. How can i say this, because i had a sister (God rest her soul) that had the same problem, as Anna, we lost her at the tender age of 39 also, and for us, i know we had/have the most wonderful parents. But, now she has our mother with her and i hope they find peace in each others arms. We only have to answer to one person, and that is GOD! Why doesn't everyone think of the one person that matters in all of this, Dannielynn! Do you all not wonder if when she grows up, she will see all of this talk of her mother and what it might do to her? Please, let it be, let God take control and things will be as they should. Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You! Rest In Peace You Beautiful Girl and watch over your beautiful little Girl. You will be missed!

463. This woman really is insane! Why is anyone even listening to her!? Larry, its a noble gesture to want her involved with the baby once you get your daughter, but something is really, really NOT RIGHT with this woman, proceed with extreme caution!

464. carolyn in tenn, Do you happen to be related or know all this? Maybe you were her nanny? Probably not so you are just regurgitating what read on line or on TMZ or some other blog. When you make it sound like fact you may be slandering yourself, which is against the law. How do you know all this, 7 life policies, the boat boat using Daniels insurance policy. You don't know any of this. Come forward with facts or back off. It really pisses me off when people make up facts. You don't know if what you wrote is true, so why and the hell write it. Come back on here and show us the proof of what you write. (455). #457 one of the very few truthful, good posts. Thank you

465. I think they should let Anna & Danny Rest in Peace.... Also none of them have the baby best interest @ heart!!! Virgie should be Very ashamed of herself She just wants to get her hands on the money... She doesn't care about Anna wanted. As for Danny Father he should also be ashamed of himself. God Rest their Souls…
