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.

76. 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!

79. 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.

80. Splash I am sure is donating money to the baby (WHATEVER) This mess is crazy! The tv just said she has a beaded gown and a tira(??)what in the heck?? They are and have been making her death into a circus I hope Anna can finally somehow have some peace she lived life on the edge and it has finally came to a sad end.
Who are we all to judge? The media should get in some major trouble for reporting FALSE INFO because it does i am sure ruin peoples life and make things worse! I just seen on the front of something that said Howard was selling Anna for sex...unless they can prove it then I really dont want to hear it!
This is one chapter closing and the next is already in the works!

84. People that think HK would have killed Anna and her son are really stupid......he didn't prescribe their medications and Anna and her son were adults to take whatever they wanted. So unless Howard was shoving it down their throats keep quite...or look into every single person that was involved in her and her sons life and knew about their drug use and didn't report it to police or her doctors...because that is all you hear in interviews they all knew about her abuse..but they didn't do sh*t about it ...they just blame Howard for it.

87. Steine does a great job of covering Anna Nicole. Regardless of how she got there, she made it from the dumps of Texas and become a night and shinning star. I like the fact that ET covers her. It is a known fact that 1/3 of the world has been mesmorized by Anna Nicole, firstly with the paternity test and secondly with the death of her son Danielle. Now her death and everything else. Everyone knows what channel to tune into when they need updates (ET) and is is great to have an "insider" scoop; instead of stories with heresay. Thank you ET you have done a great job of covering this story. Why wouldn't you focus on it if 33% of the population are watching it?

88. Thank goodness the public is now getting to know the facts about how these trashy TV shows work. They will lie and continue to lie about it. At least Harvey Leviin admitted on Larry King that sometimes pictures/videos are paid for. Honesty is always the best policy. Don't treat the public like we are idiots who will take in any crap you throw at us.
I would like any one who is as sick as I am of Entertainment Tonight to go to their website and leave them a comment about your feelings. Or write them a letter.
If it wasn't for ET Howard would have to do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing or just go away. I am sick of him. He is no friend of Anna's. He and his friend Ron Rail have been living off of Anna for years and they want to continue to do so. If ET and the other shows would stop paying him and his family, he and his family would go away.
Anna was not a saint. She was a drug addict. You can not believe all the bad things she said about her mother anymore than you can believe what Howard says about her mother. He is the one getting all the money. Virgie is not. So she had plane tickets to visit her grandson's grave. So what? I would too if I wanted to see a loved one's grave Remember, it was Howard who encouraged Anna's drug use. It was Howard who planned with ET to sell her funeral rights right after she died. Before she even had an autopsy which was the very next day. It is Howard who is keeping a baby away from her natural father for the purposes of making money for the rest of his life.
Please let these TV shows who are lying to us how you feel. I am tired of these people lying outright. ET said on Larry King Live they do not pay for interviews which is an out and out lie!

90. How much did that slime bag Howard pay those "friends" to clap after his tacky ass speech! What a sleazy mother he is! He is trying to come off as her savior, when in reality, he murdered her and Daniel just as sure as he stole her money for over 10 years. The cops are on to him, and he is going down!

Posted at 2:02PM on Mar 2nd 2007 by Howard is a murderer
