Finally Anna Nicole Smith laid to rest
Source: seriouslyomg.com


Only ET was inside the church for the emotional farewell as ANNA NICOLE SMITH was buried next to her son DANIEL Friday morning. It was the final chapter in the story that has captivated the country since Anna’s sudden death a little over three weeks ago in a Florida hotel room. LARRY BIRKHEAD and HOWARD K. STERN arrived first. The two shook hands once inside the church. Emotions ran high as both men wept before the service started. Also on hand was country singer JOE NICHOLS, who sang two songs requested by Howard — "I’ll Wait for You" and DOLLY PARTON’s "Wings of a Dove" — which is said to have been Anna’s favorite country song. Anna met the singer at the Grand Ole Opry back in 2005 and was a fan of Nichols’ music. About 100 mourners gathered to celebrate Anna’s life, including her former assistant KIM WALTHER, TRIMSPA CEO ALEX GOEN, rocker SLASH of GUNS N’ ROSES fame and Howard’s family. Many wore black and pink ribbons, Anna’s two favorite colors. Anna’s nearly six-months-old baby girl, DANNIELYNN, did not attend the service, and was kept out of the public eye at an undisclosed location. Anna’s estranged mother VIRGIE ARTHUR made a last-ditch attempt to stop the funeral on Friday, but was denied in Bahamian court. She was among the last to arrive for the service. The crowd gathered outside the church launched into boos and jeers when she finally made her appearance — no doubt a reaction to the recent court battles over Anna’s remains. The service began after a white hearse carrying Anna’s casket arrived at the Mount Horeb Church in Nassau. Draped in a pink blanket, she was taken inside via a red carpet entrance leading to the church. "She did have a lot of specific things [that she wanted]," Howard told ET’s MARK STEINES earlier this week about Anna’s details of her own funeral. "I’m going to do everything in my power to make it what she would have wanted." Anna’s favorite color, pink, decorated the funeral. Pink peonies, pink roses, stargazers and white calla lilies decorated the church during the service. Her casket had a pink velvet cover.. Following the church memorial service, a police escort accompanied the hearse carrying Anna’s casket. About 30 of Anna’s closest friends and relatives were asked to witness her interment next to Daniel’s grave. ET has learned that the graveside mourners were each handed a red rose and a pink rose to lay on the coffin. The red rose symbolizes Daniel, while the pink symbolizes Anna. Each guest was also asked to write a personal note to Anna on pink heart-shaped paper. Those messages were then dropped into the grave, so that her casket was engulfed in messages of love. And Anna’s late husband, J. HOWARD MARSHALL II, was also present. The urn that holds a portion of his ashes was buried with Anna.
That funeral as promised was over-the-top, but did we expect any less?
Charlotte Church is Up the Duff

Charlotte Church is Up the Duff … and Gavin Henson put her there …scrummage indeed!
Up the Duff - It’s really just the most fun way to say pregnant … although it doesn’t bode well for Hillary or Haylie when and if they decide to go fertile. Bad puns everywhere on that happy day. But eough about the Duffster and lets go back to Church. Sunday is right around the corner.
The secret was sniffed out when the constantly drunk ‘Voice of an Angel’ artiste was seen not putting it away like a sailor on leave. The British press drew its own accurate conclusions.
No 21-year-old girl in her right mind would refuse to drink any alcohol at her birthday party - that is, unless she had a baby on the way. And ring-a-ding-ding, such is the case!
After weeks of speculation, Charlotte Church has confirmed she is pregnant.

It is nice to know that some celebrities … even if they are only British ones … are occasionally noticed for atypical personal restraint As opposed to full on wigged out deat and head shaving. Pete Doherty excepted.
The Cardiff-born singer who found fame as a child opera star announced the news on her website . A statement from Church’s management said: “Due to recent speculation and persistent questions from the media about this most private of matters, Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public.”
Charlotte is having the baby with her long term boyfriend Welsh rugby pin up boy Gavin Henson … who while he has a head very like a thumbtack dipped in a black lint tray — gives great pectorals.
Church herself is well known in her post adolescent phase for Rubenesque curves and a rack that’s so vicious Dubya wants to bomb it (say it out loud three times if you didnt get the last sentence - It’ll come to you).
Yes that baby will be able to hit a high C, push in a scrum and always answer whenever anyone yells out ‘Hey nice tits!”
Angelina and Brad really are going to adopt a Vietnamese boy
Source: www.celebitchy.com

It turns out the latest Brad and Angelina adoption rumor was true.
Originally the story was that they were going to adopt from the Tam Binh orphanage that they visited in Ho Chi Minh City. Then the head of that orphanage denied that they were adopting from his facility, saying that he wishes it were true.
Now the top adoption official in Vietnam has confirmed that Angelina has started the process there to legally adopt a boy, and she’s filing as a single parent
Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese child, the country’s top adoption official said Friday.
A U.S. adoption agency representing the 31-year-old actress filed the papers at Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency’s director.
“She just filed the papers this week,” Long said.
Brad Pitt, have three children: 5-year-old son Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old daughter Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.
Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.
The head of the Tam Binh orphanage has withheld comments on this latest news, and said he is waiting to see the papers.
This must be the real reason that Angelina wasn’t at the Oscars, although considering how much she travels she probably went to Dafur for that UN mission and then popped over to Vietname to take care of the adoption details. Brad and his parents have been taking the kids. From these latest photos of Brad with Shiloh, he’s doing a good job. There’s also a cute picture of Shiloh eyeing a little girl’s cookie like we saw in that candid with Zahara.

Is Britney clamoring for the security of K-Fed and his pot-smoking buddies?
Source: www.celebitchy.com

Maybe K-Fed’s visit to Britney in rehab last weekend was a conjugal one. The crazed car-attacking former pop star was seen wearing a ring on her wedding finger when she left that spa rehab for a trip to an AA meeting.
Sporting a midriff top, a ring on her left ring finger, and flower scrawlings on her hand, Britney Spears stepped out for an AA meeting Wednesday night.
Spears was fresh-faced and in good spirits as she left the Promises Treatment Center in Malibu for her first supervised outing.
Though Spears, 25, kept her wedding ring finger bare while dating ex-boyfriend Isaac Cohen, she’s been wearing a band on her left hand over the last week or so.
While the jewelry does not appear to be the wedding band she wore when married to Kevin Federline, 28, the estranged exes seem to be working towards a reconciliation.
Britney is just as careless with her jewelry as with her wardrobe, as evidenced by that star of David she wore while dating Isaac Cohen, and I wouldn’t make anything of this. She probably doesn’t have any more stunts to pull to get public attention and is resorting to wearing a ring on that finger for a little publicity. It’s a better plan than the one Paris helped her cook up last fall.
News of the World claims that K-Fed wants Britney back, and US Weekly now has the same story. I would bet that News of the World made that shit up after they heard the news that he visited her in rehab and US Weekly is just repeating it, but I could be wrong. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary considering how crazy their lives are.
Britney was also allowed out of rehab briefly to visit her cousin Alli’s apartment last night. She stayed for less than a half an hour, left with a bag full of clothing and was back at rehab by 9:00 pm.
I really hope she doesn’t get back with K-Fed as he’s only acting like a devoted father so he can cash in while he has a chance. How much do you see him with the kids from his first marriage?
Here are pictures of Britney’s “lost weekend” before she entered rehab. Thanks to IDLYITW and CelebWarship for these pictures.
Antonella Barba stays in the competition

Antonella Barba, now famous for defiling the WWII memorial, has survived another round of cuts on American Idol. While she would probably like to attribute this to her singing ability and on stage presence, it’s more likely due to throngs of horny teenagers and horny middle-aged men voting in during their date with Rosy Palms.
There’s also word that Hugh Hefner is very interested in offering Antonella a spread in Playboy. And they say the only thing you get from being a slut is a screaming baby and welfare. Pfft.
Kirsten Dunst: Lying Coke Whore
Source: www.celebitchy.com

Holy Moly has a mole in Hollywood ( a Holly Holy Moly mole) who delivered this gem about a well known snaggle-toothed blonde with a propensity for telling porky pies.
We’ll open with a damning Dunst quote before we proceed to the Oscar night drama.
“I’ve never come across cocaine on a film set… I’m very naive about that. I don’t smoke and I’ve only tried pot once in my life. I do everything in moderation. I drink, but I don’t go out and get plastered. I deal with my problems, so I don’t have vices over which I have no control.”
Pictures being worth a thousand words we’ll have to assume she meant I don’t smoke except when I’m driving … and of course follks never drive in LA. Except all the time … having been caught out once … the rest of the Holly Holy Moly mole tale gains credence. Picture this:
it’s the inevitable coke-by-the-bucketful post-Oscars party, when out of the powder room stumbles Kirsten Dunst with more dust flying around her head than a bug in a Dyson, her hair a tangled mess plastered across her drug sweat-oozing forehead. “What were you doing in there?” asks the party’s host. The best Dunst, a gerbil with cocktail umbrellas for tits, can manage? “Erm…”
I perhaps I shouldnt have asked you to picture the whole thing as our intrepid molesters got a little graphic with alcoholic rodent parasols towards the end, but hey, we are playing hardball here. Or maybe a whole eight ball.
It would at least explain that unwatchable Marie Antoinette Film … and her break up from Brokeback Moutnain Boy
All of which gives credence to the real reason she and Jake Gyllenhaal split: it was because of her drug hoofing and not the other way round, as her publicist would like you to think.
And whenever a publicist is pushing some angle on a story — its as beliveable as Tony Snow at the Whitehouse talking about a Sunni day in Shia Town … although here I guess all the snow is at Dunst’s house.

The AP ends its Paris blackout
Source: www.celebitchy.com

Ubiquitous news wire service The Associated Press distributed an internal memo on February 13th encouraging journalists not to cover ubiquitous celebrity do-nothing Paris Hilton for a week.
“Next week,” entertainment editor Jesse Washington wrote in an e-mail memo obtained by The Transom, “the print team is planning an unconventional experiment: We are NOT going to cover Paris Hilton.
“Barring any major, major news, we are not going to put a single word about Paris on the wire,” the memo continued. “If something does come up, big or small, we encourage discussions on whether we should write about it.”
[via Gawker]
They said the decision was hard and took a lot of discussion. They were able to hold out covering Paris for a little over a week, and forced themselves not to cover Brandon Davis’ drunken outburst at her birthday dinner. After Paris got arrested for driving with a suspended license, though, they gave up and ran the story, savoring every word.
Then Hilton was arrested on Feb. 27 for driving with a suspended license — an offense that could conceivably lead to jail time because she may have violated conditions of a previous sentence. By that time, our blackout was over anyway, so reporting the development was an easy call. (On the flip side, we never got to see what repercussions there would have been if we hadn’t.)
[Lloyd] Grove [formerly of the NY Daily News] thinks the so-called “celebutante” achieved her unique brand of fame because she boasts an irresistible set of traits: wealth, a big name, beauty with a “downmarket” appeal, and a tendency to seem … oversexed. “This is what mainstream society celebrates,” he says. “She is, in the worst sense, the best expression of the maxim that no bad deed goes unrewarded in our pop culture.”
One measure of Hilton’s fame: She was No. 5 last year on the Yahoo Buzz Index, a list of overall top searches on the Web site (her ever-so-brief buddy Spears is a perennial No. 1).
Another is that US Weekly has at least a mention or a photo in just about every issue. “People now come to expect to see pictures of her,” says Caroline Schaefer, deputy editor of the celebrity magazine. “They’re intrigued by her unshakable self-esteem. People are fascinated by that.”
Jeff Jarvis, who teaches journalism at the City University of New York, decries the “one-size-fits-all disease” afflicting media outlets, who feel that “everybody’s covering it, so we must, too.” Even The New York Times, he noted, had substantial coverage of a hearing concerning where Anna Nicole Smith — perhaps the one person who rivaled Hilton in terms of fame for fame’s sake — would be buried.
“That disease leads to the Paris Hilton virus spreading through the news industry,” says Jarvis, who puts out the BuzzMachine blog.
So what have we learned from the ban? “It’s hard to tell what this really changes, since we didn’t have to make any hard decisions,” says Jesse Washington, AP’s entertainment editor. “So we’ll continue to use our news judgment on each item, individually.”
Which means that for the immediate future, if not always, we’ll still have Paris.
Lloyd Grove of the NY Daily News’ Lowdown column, which was cancelled in October, said he deliberately didn’t mention Hilton for two years because he wanted to get publicity. I know I don’t always cover stories about the milktoast heiress, but it’s hard not to mention her as Jeff Jarvis discussed because she’s freaking everywhere. There’s also something fascinating how she keeps on going no matter what happens. She’s was overheard bragging about how much money her sex tape made, and she was out working right after all her private medical records and drug-use videos came out on Paris Exposed. Apart from refusing to speak to photographers for one day she showed no outward reaction to the Paris Exposed scandal.
I know all about that phenomenon that Jeff Jarvis mentioned about how you have to cover the stories that are popular no matter how much they bug you. I’ll be reporting on Anna Nicole’s pink tasseled funeral shortly.
Here she is outside of a medical building on 2/28. What’s going on with her stomach in that last picture? Do you think she’s pregnant with Stavros’ baby? We’ll never stop hearing about her then. She really has perfected that Barbie look. I mean I dislike her outfit but she accessories it perfectly.
Anna Nicole Smith’s funeral is happening
Source: theblemish.com

I thought this was some sort of joke. Just read it. Anna Nicole arrived to the church in a pimped out hearse with elaborate chrome rims. Inside, her casket is covered with pink marabou and streamers. Outside the church, a giant jib camera is swooping over the steeple and the red carpet leading into the church. Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, failed in a last ditch effort to stop the funeral.
Inside, several hundred of Anna Nicole’s friends paid their respects. Her coffin was then moved to Lake View Cemetery for burial. That’s when the real show began. Howard K. Stern plunged a closed fist into Anna’s chest, took out her heart, ate it and screamed, “I am reborn! Muahahahhaha! Trimspa baby!”
Update: Slash and Hulk Hogan were among the attendees.
Bobby Brown is a trickster
Source: theblemish.com

Yesterday, Hot 99.5 agreed to pay the $19,500 bail required to get Bobby Brown out of jail. In return, Bobby Brown had to complete a week’s worth of work for the radio station. This morning Bobby Brown seemingly backed out of the deal and denied there was ever an agreement to work for them. The hosts tried to get more answers, but Bobby hung up on them. More here plus the audio.
You can hear Bobby stammering and trying to figure out how to weasel out of the deal. Now Hot 99.5 is out $19,500 with no one to clean the toilets. At least they won’t have to worry about Mr. Brown hitting on the female staffers and then beating them. That’s always a plus.
