ANNA Nicole Smith was yesterday buried in a pink gown and tiara in a funeral that descended into pantomime — like her bizarre life.
Mourners, including wrestler Hulk Hogan and Guns ’n Roses guitarist Slash, entered the Bahamas church on a red carpet as fans cried: “Anna! Anna!”
They BOOED the ex-Playboy model’s boyfriend Howard K Stern but CHEERED her ex Larry Birkhead — both fighting for custody of her baby girl Dannielynn.
And Anna’s mother Virgie arrived in a white stretch limo to JEERS after an 11th-hour legal bid to take the body to Texas.
The 100 mourners were far outnumbered by newsmen from around the world.
Inside church, the coffin — draped in her favourite colour of pink — was left next to a large photo of Anna looking like her idol Marilyn Monroe.
Lawyer Stern gave a tearful speech and kissed the coffin, to a standing ovation.
Anna, who died last month aged 39, was buried next to son Daniel who took a drug overdose last September aged 20. Mourners were handed a pink rose and pink paper to write a final note.
Anna lay in her coffin clutching the ashes of late tycoon husband J Howard Marshall II.
She wore a pink gown with an embroidered heart over the bust, meant to symbolise how she died of a broken heart.
