Anna Nicole Smith will finally be laid to rest. After the judge ruled out Smith's mother's appeal of taking the body to Texas, Virgie Arthur told the media that she would not contest the ruling, thus accepting with the initial one, of burying the former model in the Bahamas, next to her son, Daniel Smith.
Anna Nicole was, in life, one of the most outrageous personalities of showbiz. After a marriage with a man almost 60 years her senior, a drastic weight loss and a couple of sexy movies, the glamour girl became a tabloid character about whom the entire world loved to read. It didn't seem to matter that she never did anything for her fame, because her mere presence at some event or another was more than enough to make it into the news.
True to the way she lived her entire life, Howard K. Stern, her lawyer and lover (and allegedly also the father of her baby Danni) is planning an 'over the top' pink funeral. As with everything that Anna did when alive, her funeral services must also be as loud as to pop on the front pages of all the newspapers. Also, just like her entire existence, people have to pay to see her walk her final walk.
Because of the huge interest in the events following Anna's death, the owner (the Sandy Port Development Company) of the land where the Mount Horeb Baptist Church is situated (in Nassau, Bahamas) announced that he would charge the media representatives for coverage of the event that will most likely attract many other stars. Various media outlets claim they have been faxed that, were they to be interested in covering the funeral, they must pay $2,000 per still camera and $5,000 for a live transmission.

In other news, don't stay glued to the television set in the hope that you'll see just how much her body has decayed in the three-week period during which Stern, Arthur and Larry Birkhead fought in court on who gets to keep Anna's remains, because there will be a closed casket, the organizers have told the press. However, they did reveal that the ceremony in itself will be more than watching, a pink frenzy to say good-bye to one of the most 'fascinating' women in showbiz.
Anna Nicole Smith will be buried in the Bahamas on Friday, at 10.30 A.M.
