Court allows burial in Bahamas for Anna Nicole Smith

West Palm Beach, Fla. – 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.

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 today.

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.

Not hot: Hilton faces possible jail time for driving citation

West Hollywood, Calif. – Paris Hilton could have her probation revoked – possibly resulting in jail time – if she is found to have been driving with a suspended license because it would violate conditions of her previous sentence for reckless driving, authorities said Wednesday.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress and star of “The Simple Life” was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her blue Bentley Continental GTC was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard on Tuesday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Duane Allen Jr. said.

She was stopped about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off, Allen said.

“Our office is waiting to obtain a copy of the citation,” said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney’s office. “Once we’re able to verify that Miss Hilton was driving the vehicle, we will request that the court revoke her probation and set a probation violation hearing.”

Hilton could face up to 90 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her probation, he said.

A call to Hilton spokesman Elliot Mintz wasn’t immediately returned.

The Doors receive star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Los Angeles – Forty years ago, the Doors’ Jim Morrison seduced Hollywood with his wild moves and wilder poetry. On Wednesday, the rock band cemented its legendary status with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek, 68, and guitarist Robby Krieger, 61, showed up minus drummer John Densmore for the dedication of the walk’s 2,325th star.

“Jim always used to say, ‘The West is the best!'” Krieger said. “It has been an incredible 40 years, and now I’m back with Ray and we’re still playing, and you know, it may never end.”

The band, whose dark sound helped to define the ’60s, is known for such hits as “Light My Fire” and “L.A. Woman.”
