Tuesday, March 27, 2007

anna The official cause of Anna Nicole Smith’s death is accidental overdose, authorities announced Monday. “We found nothing to indicate foul play,” Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger announced at a press conference this morning. “This case is an accidental overdose with no other criminal elements present and this effectively closes the case on Anna Nicole Smith.”

Meanwhile, Smith’s former partner, Howard K. Stern, and her ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, are battling over custody of her daughter, six-month-old Dannielynn Smith. Both claim to be the father of the child. Birkhead recently took a DNA test in order to prove paternity. Stern is appealing to stop the DNA results from being read at the trial, which resumes April 3.

Anna Nicole’s Final Goodbye!

Thursday, March 1, 2007

aa Anna Nicole Smith will be remembered Friday in the Bahamas in a service befitting her flamboyant life.

About 300 guests will attend the service at a church filled with pink flowers – her favorite color – and a well-known but as-yet undisclosed singer will perform, a family friend said. A dozen dresses have been designed for Smith, the custom gown in which she will be buried in is very elegant.

Florida Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin last week granted custody of Smith’s body to Richard Milstein, the court-appointed advocate for Smith’s 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. Arthur, Anna’s mother, had contested the ruling, saying she wanted to bury her daughter in their home state of Texas.

Smith died five months after her 20-year-old son, Daniel, died in his mother’s Bahamas hospital room. Daniel’s death came just three days after Smith gave birth to daughter Dannielynn Hope. After the news of Smith’s death, an emergency hearing was scheduled to occur in Los Angeles on Friday regarding the paternity of Dannielynn.
