Anna Nicole's Sister Visits Grave ... A Little Late

TMZ has learned that Anna Nicole Smith's sister Donna Hogan just jetted off to the Bahamas with her three children to visit the grave of her DDS -- dear departed sister.

We're told Donna went to the Bahamas in March for the funeral but the buzz is that sis may actually have been denied access to service and the gravesite.

Talk about bad blood!

286. I saw an clip on TV this afternoon to turn in to ET tonight. Dr. Phil was going to be on. I am not sure about the topic, but, this seems to explain a lot. It seems that most of the shows who are Sternies, are on CBS.

"Two Important Issues That Will Not Go Away"

The Tribune, like all intelligent Bahamians, wants the government to speak up now on Mr Gibson's role in Ms Smith's residency application, and the true story behind the seemingly endless inquiries into Daniel's death.

Anna Nicole Smith has spent much of her life as a cover girl, reality show "star" and Hollywood celebrity steeped in publicity of one kind or another. But the headlines surrounding her stay in Nassau are not the usual tabloid tittle-tattle, they cut right to the root of the Bahamas system of governance and the way we lead our lives.

Circumstances surrounding her fast-tracked residency application and the unfortunate death of her 20-year-old son Daniel are giving rise to genuine concern among all thinking Bahamians. And that's because there are still so many crucial questions that remain unanswered.

This week's disclosures by the Callenders law firm about the background to Ms. Smith's residency application have given rise to deep disquiet. If true, and we have no reason to believe they aren't, their claims suggest that Immigration Minister Shane Gibson not only gave Ms. Smith preferential treatment on the basis of their "friendship" without any due diligence at all, but neither was he frank when he said he did not personally receive, on the treasury's behalf, the $10,000 cheque needed to facilitate her application.

Prime Minister Perry Christie now needs to get right to the bottom of this distasteful affair and do what needs to be done. If Mr Gibson is found to have lied to the nation about his involvement in receiving the cheque, and if he did indeed fast-track Ms. Smith's residency application without doing all the necessary background checks, then he should be fired.

There is no room for equivocation here. A Cabinet minister who lies publicly to protect his own position has no place in public life. If Callenders' story is correct, then Gibson must go. Moreover, if Ms Smith was not the true owner of the $950,000 house, Horizons, on the Eastern Road, then the entire foundation of her residency claim crumbles before our eyes. Her status must be rescinded immediately.

In fact, if she really promised to execute a mortgage to cover funds provided by her friend Ben Thompson, then reneged on the deal once her residency had been secured, it could be argued that she gained her status under false pretences. That might well leave her open not only to prosecution, but also expulsion.

The issue of Daniel Smith's death is, if anything, even more troubling than his mother's residency woes.

Six weeks on from Daniel's sudden demise at Doctors Hospital, the Bahamian public is in the dark about how he died he even though it's now clear he had a highly toxic cocktail of drugs in his system.

Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez told The Tribune two weeks ago that he is still awaiting the result of the police investigation and of toxicology tests before deciding whether an inquest should be held.

Not surprisingly, his words were considered to be far from satisfactory. The public is becoming increasingly uneasy over how long the police investigation and laboratory tests are taking. And, from the public's viewpoint, the need for an inquest is already established beyond doubt.

You don't need a law degree to know that Daniel's death was highly suspicious and possibly the result of unlawful behaviour. In the interests of transparency, an inquest is needed now.

Ms Smith's privately-hired pathologist, Dr Cyril Wecht, and her own mother. Mrs Virgie Arthur, have already revealed enough - via American cable television - for us to conclude that, at the very least, this matter deserves intense scrutiny in the public domain.

In Mr Gibson's handling of Ms. Smith's residency application, it has already become clear that she was afforded treatment not available to others - especially the many hopefuls who have been waiting for years to have their applications processed.

The public is entitled to ask, therefore, whether the investigation into Daniel's death is also being handled in a way designed to protect her interests rather than serve the public good.

Ms Smith having been told to leave her Eastern Road home, is now reportedly taking refuge at Nygard Cay, home of the Canadian fashion tycoon Peter Nygard. With her baby daughter Dannie Lynn Hope and lawyer/boyfriend Howard K Stern in tow, the former Playboy playmate has once again sought a bolt-hole from her troubles. However, she may as well know now that she is unlikely to find peace in the Bahamas while these two major issues - one involving ministerial probity, the other this nation's rule of law -- remain unresolved.

The Tribune, like all intelligent Bahamians, wants the government to speak up now on Mr Gibson's role in Ms. Smith's residency application, and the true story behind the seemingly endless inquiries into Daniel's death.

Until these matters are given a full airing, the foul odour surrounding them will not be dispelled. The longer they are allowed to drag on, the more suspicious the public will become of the government's motives.

Speak up, Prime Minister.

The nation is waiting.

288. Donna Hogan caught a flight there to purely promote her book...

...she was turned away by the " keepers" at the cemetary because they are under strict orders to say "who" is allowed to visit the gravesite,which was made by Howard .There is a guest list for visitation.

**This was done to keep away vandals,and souvenier hunters of the rich and famous.

Isn't the inquest suppose to start today?

Give us some facts TMZ, and allow us to blog those facts.

My opinion on this blog is...at least a half-sister has a more credible, factual, and realistic take on all this...and why in the heck shouldn't she be able to go to a grave site? She SHOULD of been included in the actual funeral...unless you live in the pretext of fantasy!!!

Donna was only Anna Nicole's half sister,
and neither Anna nor her mother really
knew Donna, and they had rarely if ever
seen her. Donna is trying to write a book
making money off someone she never even
knew. She was on talk shows stammering
with the answers, because she knew nothing
about Anna, but she did make a remark
saying Anna "never gave them money nor gave
her children presents", which shows you her
basic motives.

TO: Rather explosive impression

Well, that was an impressive article,
Editorial from The Tribune, but it was
written in October, 2006 and this is
May, 2007. It would have been nice to have
seen any evidence that the Bahamian government
was capable of serving justice in the matter
of the heinous death of Daniel Smith. Instead
they are allowing a Judge to charge the owner
of the House, Horizon, $100,000 to file to take
possession of his own home, in which Howard Stern
has been squatting since before and after Anna's death,
and which from all appearances Stern is attempting to steal.

TO: Observer

I wonder why Howard Stern has the right
to say who visits Anna Nicole's grave.
Stern was only a live in with Anna, and a free
loader in the Horizon house from which he has
been evicted numerous times, refused to leave,
and which he now attempts to steal from the
rightful owner.

Stern has apparently retained Anna's possessions,
was calling the shots on who could see the baby
after Anna died a suspicious and unnecessary death,
when he was neither the baby's father nor anything
to Anna but a parasite. Why can he say who visits
Daniel and Anna? They shouldn't even be buried in
the Bahamas, but for some odd reason Judge Seidlin
and Milstein (who was SUPPOSED to be looking after
the baby's interests) gave Stern rights which were
totally incomprehensible. He and his sister, the rude
and classless Bonnie, both insulted Anna's mother
and her family at Anna's funeral. It was an abomination
for these two people to have been in charge Anna's
funeral or of her possessions and her jewelry.

WHY is this outrageous situation allowed
to continue?

Dear Suzanne,

Please know that I, as the one and only true "Observer", respect your opionion and really don't mind your own observation either.

Yet, please don't feel the need to attack my name, and label it even closely near Howard K. Stern's O.K? Him and I are as opposite as two can get!!! I have reserved my personal opinion for him thus far, and prefer to keep it humane and comprehensible. Nobody in their right mind would open THAT door!!!

So please, don't put me in the same peg...which translates to you NOT reading my blog correctly...please back up...

My question remains...wasn't the inquest suppose to start today???

Who gives a frick about " Paris-absent-talent-ommpaa-loompaa-media-whore-Madonna-Wannabe" anyhow??? Look at the numbers TMZ! What sells for you? DAAAAAA!!!

If anyone knows a better site for me to go to, a logical, half-brain-given one, well...let me know....thanks again....

Observer,

You must not be the true Observer, because that response
to my message makes no sense, and the Observer poster
I have communicated with in the past would have made
sense. My post did not put anyone in the category
with Howard Stern. I have no clue what you mean.

Let's NOT do this Suzanne, and just "say" we did O.K?

Whatever "Observer" you listened to beforehand had absolutely no forethought and/or creativity of and for themself. If they did...they would of, at least, had the abilitly to call themselves something other than someone else called themself, don't you think?

I will admit Suzanne, that yes, you raise some very good guestions, and quite often. My expert advise to you now is please, get away from the emotions, and take two steps back.

Look at this from the logistical, manipulative, and unethical standpoint that Howard K. Stern meant it to come from. That's practical.

At least Donna Hogan is a blood relative , Coward is the same nobody he has always

been and soon will return to his own private Hell and we'll never hear from him or Ugly

BOnnie again.

Poor Anna , being held a drugged-out captive by the INFAMOUS HKS. Without her

family to comfort her during her pregnancy. Her family would have helped her rehabb

but HKS held the purse and wouldn't let anyone , including Daniel, in her life.

Now she and Daniel ARE DEaD forever, and her little infant still waits for her MOMMY

to come home.

The STERN CLAN will never live this down. They produced this sociopath and

unleashed him upon the world.

(Just in case HKS and His gang think they are celebrities , YOU ÅRE NOT

CELEBRITIES ,

we don't CELEBRATE YOU IN THIS WORLD < WE DESPISE YOU> )

Donna you'll be all right just remember the precious times you had with VIckiLynn

In time you'll forget the pain and remember the LOve ------

THIS IS NOT AN EXCHANGE OF IDEAS, AT ALL. THIS IS A MEAN SPIRITED BUNCH OF CREEPS WHO WILL PICK ON ANYBODY WHO IS NOT RIGHT THERE TO TEACH THEM WHERE THEIR PLACE IS!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT SIMPLE BLOGGING. IT IS VICIOUS PEOPLE ATTACKING OTHERS WHO ARE NOT WITHIN THEIR REACH

STOP HARASSING THOSE WHO HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO YOU, AND YES, I MEAN HOWARD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO YOU. NO, YOU ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT LIVES LOST, NOR ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT DANNIELYNN. YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PATHETIC PEOPLE WHO STICK THEIR NOSE IN THEIR NEIGHBORS' AND EVERYBODY ELSES' BUSINESS.

STOP HARASSING, BELITTLING, DEMONIZING, AND MINDING HOWARD'S BUSINESS.

YOU CAN KEEP VERY BUSY BY VOLUNTEERING YOUR SERVICES IN AFGHANISTAN AND BE SURE TO LET THE TALIBAN KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM. THAT IS WHERE YOU BELONG.

Brenda Bouquet:

You are jealous and mean spirited. You do not know Howard and he has done NOTHING to you. No, you do not give a damn about Anna, Daniel or Dannielynn. You are venting your anger, hatred and misery to be read by strangers, who could not care less about your feelings.

You are not holding a discussion. Freedom of speech does not entitle you to accuse anybody of having committed a crime. Go destroy your own life. Obviously, you do not think highly of yourself. By publicizing your deep hatred toward a man you do not know is a sign you may be feeling overwhelmed. Find a way to put yourself out of your misery.
