Inside Anna's Funeral

Outside, it was a circus. Inside, it was beautiful.

Larry Birkhead, Howard K. Stern, Virgie Arthur and several hundred more of Anna Nicole Smith's closest friends and family paid their last respects to the former Playboy Playmate and TRIMSPA spokesperson in a private ceremony at Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau earlier today.

After the service, Anna's coffin was moved to Lake View cemetery, for the burial -- the final chapter in the tumultuous life of Anna Nicole Smith ... perhaps.

Splash News has been hired as the official photographer of the funeral. Proceeds from the sale of this and other photographs are being donated to the Dannielynn Hope Trust Fund.

63. The caption under the photo states that Splash is donating the money from the photo to the Dannielynne trust fund- Exactly who is the current Trustee of this fund?

Millstein is the Guardian Ad Litum, but is he the trustee? Please tell me it's not Howard???

65. Personally, I think this whole funeral debacle, is a riot!
Hurricane Anna from the Bahamas, is still having people scurry all around her, toting to her everything!
I think she would enjoy all the fanfare, all the media coverage, and all the goggling!
I think Anna has had the last laugh!!!!!!!!
She certainly knew how to reinvent herself, and she is one hot topic now! LOL!!!



GO GIRL!!!!!!! You must be laughing at all lackeys fighting , tripping all over each other.
The only tragic figure in this whole scenario, is the baby- I hope the law allows her to be with the real father, who will love her, and raise her hopefully in a "normal" environment!

67. #53 I heard her report and agree with you completely. He's only looking out for his future earnings to see how much more money he can make from her. Last night on Nancy Grace Virgie Arthur's lawyer said that there are 7 life insurance policies that her son was the benificere and if he was dead they would go to Stern. Sounds like motive to me.

68. it was probably a beautiful service, and exactly what anna would've accepted. anna was over the top in life, so why shouldn't a service that is supposed to celebrate her life be any different. now it's time for virgie to go home and tend to her family members that actually need all of her misguided attention. i.e. her son in prison, her homeless daughter amy, and crackhead cousin shelly.

frog- i've seen alot of your postings, i'd really like your insight of this video of cousin shelly. she was the "brunette relative" referred to in the article of virgie's first meeting with dannielynn.

and yes, it is anna's actual cousin, she was on an episode of the anna nicole show. howard had nothing to do with anna's issues, he just didn't want to abandon her and backstab her as others have done in the past. anyway, watch the video and tell me if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

69. HKS HAS NO CLASS AND IS NOTHING BUT A SLIME!

Just heard from a newsreporter that was inside the church who stated that Virgie and LB spoke and kept it to how they felt about ANS and it was all positive and intimate (my words not theirs) HKS used his opportunity to slam the courts, the judges, Virgie and her family and a whole slew of others. And stated for her not to worry because he would take care of their daughter. I don't care if everything that was said against Virgie were true (which I don't believe it is) or if LB is not the father (which again I don't think is true) HKS should have NEVER used the opportunity to trash people, talk about DISRESPECTFUL! He used this funeral as another PR gig for his cause! Anyone who truly loves somebody would have NEVER done that. Did he have to do it because he really didn't have any "normal" "intimate" things to talk about. And then all his "friends" clapped! I can't wait until God bestows his wrath on him. Another PROUD moment for the Stern family.

74. OK OK Ok! You know what the only thing that is missing to all this!!

Is she really dead????????????

Will she be the next Elvis. Really think about this. No pictures of her going to the emergency room. And I am sorry I have not seen really tears at all in this whole issue. It is just food for thought!!

75. 48. #33 D Day, she is not resting in peace, she is burning in hell where she belongs, and yeah, the cover is tacky everything about the funeral is tacky but it is perfect for her!

Posted at 1:44PM on Mar 2nd 2007 by Anna was just another slut

Wow, if you believe in hell, then I would assume you might be a Christian, but your words don't reflect that. After all, Christ says Judge not lest you be judged.
