Anna Nicole Smith's mother sues TMZ and Howard K. Stern

Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthur is suing TMZ and Howard K. Stern for "tarnishing her image."

This crazy old hoot thought she was a good mama until TMZ and plenty of other bloggers ran her name through the mud. As Anna Nicole told it, Virgie was a hateful old hag who couldn't even stand herself.

Arthur thinks that TMZ.com was working with Howard K. Stern to prevent her from getting custody of Anna Nicole's daughter Dannielynn.

"Their goal was simple and straightforward," the lawsuit filed in Texas State Court reads, "to ‘destroy’ anyone that was opposed to Howard K. Stern or his interest."

TMZ ran a story titled: "Virgie has son with step-brother." In their quasi-investigative piece, TMZ unveils that Virgie Arthur had a son with her step brother and a poll showed that most readers found it "creepy."

Anna Nicole's mama hasn't exactly denied the story's truth, but Virgie still wants financial compensation as an apology.
