Anna Nicole Smith Doesn't Like To Think Of It As 'Losing A Son,' So Much as 'Gaining A Husband'
While we're rusty on the various stages of grieving—we know denial and anger are in there somewhere—we're almost certain that "quickie marriage aboard a party boat just a few miles from where your 20-year-old son died weeks before" is not among them. And yet, that appears to be exactly how Anna Nicole Smith is processing yesterday's toxicology report findings that Daniel Smith died of a drug overdose: by marrying Howard K. Stern, the lawyer/daddy figure/creepy lurking presence in her life who just days ago told Larry King he fathered her baby. Star magazine has the exclusive:
In a world-exclusive report, an eyewitness tells Star that Anna, 38, and Howard, 37, tied the knot shortly before 10:30 am on the morning of September 28, while sailing on a white catamaran off of Nassau! "There was heavy security around the yacht, plus extra speedboats to deliver more supplies as needed (including unlimited Dom Perignon champagne) from the mainland to the catamaran," says the eyewitness, who adds that the wedding party celebrated the union afterwards by having a swim party around the yacht — "and Anna was wearing a pink bikini! Later on, she changed into a colorful, one-piece suit with a wrap around her waist."
While Star's "eyewitness" appears to have a knack for playing up the inappropriately festive elements of the alleged nuptials, we'll refrain from commenting on the floating carnival until photographic evidence should surface, or when we hear a recording from a local, Bahamian party planner's voice mail of Anna Nicole asking, "So how much Dom Perignon, pink bikinis, balloon animals and ice cream cake can I get for $600,000?"
