With feuding guests, booing spectators and a coffin draped in a pink cover studded with rhinestones spelling out her name, Anna Nicole’s Smith’s funeral was part soap opera, part circus.

A US Supreme Court justice today denied a motion by Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, to halt the burial of the former Playboy Playmate and take her body to Texas, according to reports tonight.

The coffin holding Anna Nicole Smith’s body was today loaded onto a private flight to the Bahamas for her funeral, after weeks of legal wrangling over where the pin-up should be buried.

Former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith will be buried beside her 20-year-old son tomorrow in a custom-made gown after an extravagant private and "very pink" ceremony bringing together three factions battling for custody of her infant daughter.
