Anna Nicole buried

The funeral for Anna Nicole Smith took place in the Bahamas this morning, despite a last-minute legal attempt to halt the burial by the former Playmate's mother. The casket, draped in pink fabric with ribbons and feather, was carried up a long red carpet into the Sandy Port community church. Neither Howard K. Stern or Larry Birkhead were in the group pallbearers, which included her current and former bodyguards, a Houston police officer and her LA attorney. Among the 300 guests were All My Children actor John James, who produced Smith's last movie, and Guns 'n' Roses guitarist Slash.

Angelina officially adopting again

It's official - Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese child. "She just filed the papers this week," said a top adoption official in Vietnam, confirming the rumors that have been circulating for the past few days. "They have to follow all procedures like any other American. They will have to work with the American side. No priority will be given to them, that means they will be treated equally as any other people." Jolie applied to adopt as a single parent, though partner Brad Pitt has officially adopted Jolie's other adopted children, 5-year-old Maddox and 2-year-old Zahara. Pitt and Jolie first visited orphanages in Vietnam on a trip over Thanksgiving last year, and Jolie made another visit to the country in January for a meeting about the Maddox Jolie-Pitt project, a charity for her son's homeland of Cambodia. Pitt said in January that the couple intended to expand their brood, saying, "Always, of course. We'll let you know when we get there."

Pam to star in another bad TV show

Talks are in the works for Pamela Anderson to once again star on the small screen. Fast on the heels of her failed sitcom Stacked - which was yanked after just one season - Anderson is reportedly teaming up with Baywatch producers for another Malibu-based show. The series would be a "fantasy-based drama" that takes place at a beach club. Oooh, sounds like a keeper.

Is Rosie pushing Elisabeth to leave The View?

Could yesterday's View slapfest prompt Elisabeth Hasselbeck to leave the show? "Elisabeth, you are very young and very wrong," co-host Rosie O'Donnell said to Hasselbeck after the Survivor alum voiced her right wing views. The reprimand is said to have left Hasselbeck in tears. "Elisabeth can't take it any more," says a show insider. "Her days there are numbered. She is looking to leave." The insider hinted that Hasselbeck is hoping for a spot on the E! network. O'Donnell was obviously feeling sorry about her outburst, and blogged on her website, "i said some of elisabeth's comments were ignorant which was ignorant itself." O'Donnell's rep denies any talk of a strife. "They get along great," she says. "They have differences of opinion, but that's what makes The View so great and newsworthy."

TomKat to take Manhattan?

Looks like Yoko Ono may be getting some new neighbors. Tom Cruise is reportedly in talks to buy an apartment in NYC's famed Dakota building. Cruise is reportedly ready to plunk down close to $20 million for a pad in the address made famous by John Lennon. The move would be a bit of life imitating art - Cruise's character in Vanilla Sky was supposed to have lived at the Central Park West building.
