WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Florida appeals court issued a stay yesterday in the dispute over Anna Nicole Smith’s body, ruling that her remains cannot be moved to the Bahamas until the court hears a challenge from the starlet’s estranged mother. The Florida 4th District Court of Appeal agreed to hear Virgie Arthur’s request to overturn a judge’s decision giving control of Smith’s body to the attorney for the centerfold’s infant daughter. That attorney decided she should be buried next to her son in the Bahamas.
