Anna Nicole Smith's Funeral

** UPDATE 1: Anna's estranged mom Vergie Arthur filed a petition in a Bahamas courtroom asking to halt the funeral! WTF? This woman is asking to be shot! The funeral procession had already begun and had to stop along the road until the court issued a decision!

*** UPDATE 2: The judge denied Vergie's petition...funeral underway. PHEW!

Country music star Joe Nichols has been asked by Howard K. Stern to sing graveside at Anna Nicole Smith's funeral this morning. The two met in 2005 backstage at he Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He will sing ANS'a favorite song Wings of a Dove and I'll Wait For You. Reports are that Smith will be buried in a pink POL' ATTEU gown. and parts of the remains of her late husband J. HOWARD MARSHALL, who died in 1995, will be placed in the casket with her.

In other Anna news: Her son's father (son, 20, died September 10, 2006) has filed a petition to have Daniel Smith exhumed and reburied in Texas. You know someone's putting him up to this. He wasn't a part of the kids life when he was alive...this is a fraud.
