A Florida appeals court Wednesday upheld a judge’s ruling that allowed Anna Nicole Smith to be buried in the Bahamas, agreeing evidence supports that’s what the former Playboy Playmate wanted. Virgie Arthur needs to accept this and move on!!
The starlet’s estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, challenged last week’s ruling by Judge Larry Seidlin, who gave control of the body to an advocate for Smith’s 5-month-old daughter. Arthur wanted to bury the starlet in her native Texas.
But Smith’s boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, had argued that she had wanted to be buried in the Bahamas next to her 20-year-old son, who died last year of apparent drug-related causes. The 4th District Court of Appeal agreed.
The trial court concluded that Smith’s “last ascertainable wish” was to be buried alongside her son, the appellate judges said in their ruling. “This finding is not essentially disputed.”
It was not immediately clear when Smith’s body would be transported, but attorney Richard Milstein, the baby’s advocate, has said a funeral in the Bahamas could be held as early as Thursday.
Smith’s body has been stored at a medical examiner’s office since shortly after she died Feb. 8 at 39. A cause of death has not been released.
During the Wednesday hearing, two members of the panel said Smith’s purchase of burial plots in the Bahamas suggested a desire to be taken there.
“Why wouldn’t that be written evidence?” Judge Mark Polen asked the attorney for Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur.
Arthur had challenged a circuit judge’s decision last week to give control of Smith’s burial to the court-appointed advocate for Smith’s infant daughter, Dannielynn. Arthur’s lawyer, Roberta Mandel, argued to the appeals court that the mother is the legal next of kin.
Appeals Judge Barry Stone asked the advocate’s attorney, Christopher Carver, how his client could figure out what a 5-month-old baby wanted.
“You would need a crystal ball,” Stone said.

Some people will do anything to appear in the papers. But few have the audacity of a man in Switzerland, who conned one of the country’s biggest media companies into publishing a two-page ad he created of himself posing semi-naked beside a bottle of Gucci perfume. Now this is funny!
The man, who claimed to represent the Italian fashion giant, called up the Swiss weekly SonntagsZeitung last week to book the expensive color spread in Sunday’s edition, a spokesman for the paper said.
Christoph Zimmer told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the man asked for the 60,000-Swiss-franc (about $50,000) bill to be sent to Gucci.
“We’ve spoken to Gucci and apologized for the mistake,” Zimmer said. “We’re going to try and get the money back from this guy, but we don’t rate our chances.”
The Milan, Italy-based Gucci could not be reached for comment.
Zimmer said the paper fell for the scam because the call arrived too late for the advertising department to check whether it was genuine.
It wasn’t the first time that the mysterious model — a dark, handsome man appearing to be in his late 20s — tried to sneak his way into the limelight.
According to the Zurich-based daily Blick, the man attempted to book concert venues by passing himself off as Puerto Rican singer Chayanne. The paper said it narrowly avoided also being conned, but was tipped of the hoax by record company Sony BMG, which represents Chayanne.
The man is under investigation for alleged fraud, said Meinrad Stoecklin, a spokesman for police in the canton (state) of Basel.

American Idol executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, has stated that Antonella Barba won’t be disqualified for the pictures of her that hit the internet. He said that the only way she’ll be kicked off is if the viewers decide this. Simon Cowell seconds that by saying, “If the public wants to keep her in, they’ll keep her in. These people haven’t done anything illegal; that’s their private life.â€
They did not, however, explain how this is different from Frenchie Davis being kicked off in season 2. Frenchie was kicked off after nude pictures of her surfaced.

Yet she’s not arrested?
Paris Hilton was pulled over for driving on a suspended license, after her birthday party at the Prime Grill restaurant in Beverly Hills. On the way home from the party, she got pulled over by the West Hollywood Sheriffs Dept, because the dumb ass failed to turn on her headlights. Paris was most upset, as they towed away her 250,000 dollar Bentley.
Pictures are posted nearly every day, showing her driving around… yet she’s not being arrested? And furthermore… Paris, lay off the self tanner, you look like a bruised orange!
