Vergie Arthur was on the stand all morning in the Anna Nicole Smith burial trial.Vergie seemed to have A LOT of memory issues. Here are some highlights from this mornings proceedings:
Click here to go to TMZ to see video

• Vergie couldn't remember when she first came into contact with Larry Birkhead, she finally said it was after Anna Nicole died.
• Vergie stated that she lost touch with Anna Nicole after Anna Nicole started to use drugs and stated that Howard K Stern drove them apart.
• Vergie said that she couldn't remember any conversations in the last 10 years with Anna Nicole about where Anna Nicole wanted to be buried. Richard Milstein (court appointed for Dannielynn), in cross examination finally got Vergie to admit that the last she knew, Anna Nicole wanted to be buried with the "Stars" in Hollywood. This is in direct contradiction to the reason Vergie is in court. She says that Anna Nicole wanted to be buried in Texas with her family.
• Vergie brought the courtroom to tears with her recounting of going to the Bahamas for Daniels birthday and being unable to find the grave and finally someone in the cemetery took pity on her and pointed to a grave with flowers on it. Vergie discovered that the flowers and the note were from Larry Birkhead!!
• Under cross examination from Krista Bath, Stern's Attorney, Vergie Arthur kept avoiding answering the question about wether she was paid $12,000 by Splash News for a video that Vergie made of a ceremony she held at the graveside of Daniel, Anna Nicole's son. Vergie kept deflecting the question by pointing at Stern and saying that Stern was the only one making any money from Anna Nicole's death. Judge Seidlin than asked that Bath produce some people from Splash News to testify as to wether Vergie Arthur was paid for the video.

Howard K. Stern takes the stand after the lunch break and then hopefully Larry Birkhead will have his chance to testify in this matter.

Mia and I have been sitting around with our mouths hanging open at Vergie Arthur's testimony. We think she is not telling the truth at all about not being paid for the video she took at Daniels graveside. This is just our opinion from what we have seen today. Time will tell, especially if the Splash News people can provide some evidence that contradicts Vergie.

UPDATE: Vergie Arthur admitted in court that her trip to the Bahamas was paid for by a third party. She went to the Bahamas with her sister in law and a friend of the family who works for Splash News. TMZ
