Stern, Birkhead Arrive at Anna's Funeral Service

Howard K. Stern just arrived at the church in the Bahamas where the funeral service for Anna Nicole Smith will take place, and MSNBC's Rita Cosby reports that the lawyer/companion alighted to "big jeers" by the assembled crowd.

Larry Birkhead entered the service shortly before Stern, though Anna's mom Virgie Arthur -- as was the case throughout the legal proceedings -- is running late and has not yet arrived.

91. I have to say that interviewing Howard is like when FOX was going to air the interview of that murderer,liar, scumbag OJ about the "hypothetical" murder of his wife and Ron G.

It is sickening and we should not support such a show.

92. People should leave howard alone,, he was with anna thru the good and the bad,,
why make false statement without the facts first.. wait until they get all the information before ,, no one would like to be blame for something they did not do..

93. Virgie is not there because she can't push away from the "all you can eat" at the Shoney's breakfast bar.

94. Where is Virgie getting all the money for legal action????

Friends - the Spash journalist????

Family - Her sister-in-law that sold the videos????

She said on the stand her house was worth maybe $80k

They should invest their money in teeth for other relatives.

I hope the public "haunts" Virgie for the rest of her life for her actions.

96. I wish people would leave Haword Stein alone. The poor guy really loved Anna. Anna was a grown woman and Howard did not force the drugs down her throat. Besides, Anna was already doing drugs before she ever met Howard.

All Howard is guilty of is loving Anna and not having the strenght the stop her from doing drugs. You can also say the same for her mother and all the men who came across her life.

Her mother should be ashamed of her self and may Anna's soul rest in peace.

97. #7 I agree with you...whatever ends up happening I beleive 100% that HKS loved ANS and I think he should be commended for making sure her wishes were honored, afterall he was her BEST friend,lawyer, trusted confidante..no matter how twisted there relationship looks to us, I beleive there was a mutual love/understanding between them both..who are we to judge what love was to them, we all love in different ways and we all love the only way we were taught to love...Im sure they loved the best way they knew how to!!

As for #21...ET should not be condemmed for covering this whole fiasco.They are an entertainment media show..they are doing there job...if there wasnt a demand for the coverage of this ANS deal then ET wouldnt be covering it....they are only doing what the public is so obviously engrossed in! I am sure that these whole ANS segments are rated very high and that viewers are tuning in, supply in demand prevails here! And it appeared that in Annas life she often was on ET and it appears that her and HKS had a "friendship" with Mark Steines (reporter for ET) after all people ANS loved the spotlight...she is probably looking down right now eating all of this up...she was a STAR and stars love to be in the media and cause a frenzy...so ANS is having the last laugh! She has made history for being a blond bombshell and will be talked about forever! RIP ANS...people let Howard grieve for his wife/friend/lover, it was obvious she was his life, not that Im not saying he isnt guilty of being an enabler...I am sure he was captivated with ANS and did whatever she told him to do! Let's face it the whole world is captivated by her and it is from afar...so him being right close and personal with her must have been a "high" in itself!

98. The only constants that ANS had in her life were Daniel and Howard. Her mother sold picturese of her ANS sons UNMARKED grave. There was a reason she had it unmarked. Virgie needs to stop. Also, it was reported that a media outlet was paying all attorney fees for Virgie (Bet she gets a piece also). She is lower than scum. I would not let the woman in the Bahamas let alone at the funeral. Howard may not be perfect but he was the only one there. Larry would come and go and take pictures to sell when he needed cash even after he signed an agreement not to sell any further. Howard may have lived with her at ALL times. Even when Larry lived there so did Howard. Virgie needs to leave her alone

99. JACKIE HATTON WAS ON ALL THENEWS CHANNEL'S SAYING HOWARD MURDERED ANNA NICOLE. AND THE THE MEDICL EXAMINERS REPORT WILL PROVE HE WAS OVER DOSING HER. I HOPE SHE GETS SUED! JACKIE CLAIMS SHE SAW HIM FEEDING HER THESE COCKTAILS OF LIQUOR AND METHADONE AND OTHER PILLS. SO WHY DIDNT JACKIE HER SO-CALLED BEST FRIEND DIDNT CALL THE POLICE!

NO ONE FORCE D ANNA TO TAKE THE PILLS SHE USED ALL THESE MEN TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED. SHE USED SEX AND THERE IS PROOF OF THE VIDEO TMZ RELEASED HER LETTING THE DOCTOR FEEL HER UP. ANNA PUSHING AWAY, AND LARRY SITTING THERE, IF HE WAS HER EXCLUSIVE BOYFRIEND LIKE HE SAID WHY HE ALLOWED THAT TO HAPPEN., AND HE GIVES HER A DRINK TO.
LARRY ISNT A INNOCENT VICTIM HE ALSO IS A CREEP. JUST THINK IF ANNA WASNT GOING TO GET A DIME LARRY WOULD BE DENYING THE BABY WAS HIS.
AND IN HIS EMAILS, HE STATED HE WAS GOING TO WIN CUSTODY OF THE BABY AND THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY HIM CHILD SUPPORT AND ALL HIS LEGAL FEE'S, CALLING HER HORRIBLE NAMES. WHAT A GREAT GUY!


VIRGIE ARTHUR AND BILLY SMITH NEED TO STOP LET HER AND DANIEL REST IN PEACE. BOTH OF THEM WERE PAID BY SPLASH AND ANOTHER TABLOID FROM ENGLAND FOR THEIR STORIES. BILLY WANT HIS SON BURIED IN TEXAS, WHY DIDNT HE FIGHT ANNA WHEN DANILE DIED. HE SAID HE WANTED HIS SON TO STAY IN THE BAHAMAS AND ANNA TO BE BURIED THERE. WHAT MONEY TO DO PEOPLE.


GOD PRAY THAT DANNIELYNN GROWS UP HAPPY, AND AWAY FROM THE SICK GRANDMOTHER!

R.I.P. ANNA NICOLE

100. Why not listen to the people who were with Anna and HKS day to day. Her old assistant, her boduguard etc...Not any of these assholes who have no idea what went on between them.

In regards to ET/The Insider being one sided - all freaking media is one sided.
ET has been with ANS and HKS since Daniel died. They get exclusivity and therefore are telling ANS and HKS side of the story.

Access Hollywood has Larry Birkhead's side - they too are one sided!

103. Anna Nicole was a white trash whore!!!

104. I can NOT believe that nasty fat bitch "mother" of hers - still trying to stop her funeral!!!!! I hope the "JUDGE" keep sher and her lawyers tied up in court - with out a STAY and she misses the WHOLE DAMN thing. I can't believe she is even allowed at the service. GIVE IT UP LADY. Go back to your trailer park in Texas and leave it alone. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH already. She was not there for ANS in life and she is proving true in her death. What a piece of work this lady is.

Posted at 10:41AM on Mar 2nd 2007 by This is CRAZY

105. Leave Howard alone. He was the only person who loved her unconditional and remember it was the doctor s who were given her the prescription drugs not howard. She was obviously in serious pain just look back at her resent interviews. As for her mother and Larry they can not have been so great since she wanted nothing to do with them both. People are all about image they are cheering Larry bacause of his looks if he was ugly they would be cheering for howard. Lets not judge until we have the proof of death!
PS: Ana not such a dump blond after all: first pending for million and two making howard her lover so she didn't have to pay him for legal advise buying him shoes every once in a while beat paying him thousands.
