Anna Nicole Smith’s body is in the Bahamas, where she will be laid to rest in a beaded gown and tiara after two private funeral ceremonies.
After weeks of legal wrangling, Smith will be buried in the Bahamian capital of Nassau. The funeral is to take place later Friday at the Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau, and she is to be buried at the Lakeview Memorial Gardens, said Richard Milstein, the court-appointed advocate for Smith’s 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn. A judge gave him control of the starlet’s remains.

LEGAL MANEUVERS
Smith’s Feb. 8 death in a hotel room at age 39 set off legal disputes in California, Florida and the Bahamas. Her boyfriend, mother and an ex-boyfriend have argued over who should get the body and who should take custody of Dannielynn, who could inherit millions of dollars.

NEVER ENDING SAGA
Her estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, will likely try to get the body out of the Bahamas, said her lawyer, Tom Pirtle. He would not elaborate about possible legal action.

THE FUNERAL
Smith will be buried in a tiara and custom-made, beaded gown next to her 20-year-old son Daniel following an “over the top” memorial service, said a friend helping to organize the memorial. The service, with about 300 guests, will feature large amounts of pink flowers, her favorite color, and music by a well-known singer whose name organizers were not ready to disclose, said the friend, Patrik Simpson of Beverly Hills, Calif. Camera crews from Entertainment Tonight will be allowed in the service.
The burial at Lakeview Memorial Gardens will be much more intimate, with about 30 people, he said. Arthur, boyfriend Howard K. Stern and ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead will temporarily put aside their differences to attend the services. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
