Tattle | Rest in peace, Anna

AFTER SHOVELING information about the death of

Anna Nicole Smith

for more than three weeks, Tattle will see to it that those shovels will finally be used to give her some peace.

She will be buried today, beside her son, Daniel.

She will be wearing a custom-made gown.

And she will have to leave it on.

Her memorial service at Nassau's Mount Horeb Baptist Church, fittingly next to a shopping mall, will have up to 300 guests (and that's just old boyfriends), a singer and lots of flowers, organizer Patrik Simpson told the Associated Press.

"It will be something very beautiful, very private, very over the top and very pink," he said.

The burial will be intimate, with about 30 people, he said.

The casket will most likely be closed during the service, Simpson said. But he and other close friends of Smith's will put their pictures inside her casket before the burial, he added.

Simpson declined to describe Anna Nicole's dress, but said the ceremony will reflect her buoyant personality.

"It will be a very beautiful Anna Nicole send-off," he said. "Of course it will be over the top because it's Anna Nicole."

Simpson said that the three-headed monster of Howard K. Stern, Virgie Arthur and Larry Birkhead had to submit a guest list and that each would be limited to 100 people at the service. According to "Entertainment Tonight," country singer Joe Nichols will perform.

Sounds like the right man for the job. Nichols' songs include "Farewell Party," "Cool to Be a Fool" and "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off."

Both the funeral and burial will be closed to the public and, in preparation for God-knows- what, dozens of steel barricades were readied yesterday by Bahamian police.

Simpson, a talent scout who had been friends with Anna Nicole for five years, said she was "just a good friend, a good mother, a great person. She had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her own back."

And if that didn't help you, she'd take off her bra.

Rest in peace, Anna.

Brown gets a break

Foxy Brown (aka Inga Marchand), warned by a judge that her next probation offense would be her last, was allowed to remain free yesterday, after pleading guilty to violating probation by leaving New York without permission.

Foxy was arrested Feb. 15 during a fracas at a beauty-supply store in Pembroke Pines, Fla.,

Lawyers for the Department of Probation and the Manhattan district attorney's office urged Judge Melissa Jackson to put Foxy in the Big House. Both, in effect, called her incorrigible.

But Jackson said, "If she pleads guilty to leaving the jurisdiction without permission, I will allow her to continue on probation with the condition that on the next violation, she's getting resentenced.

"I'm going to give her basically what is a third chance," the judge said. "I'm going to give her one more chance - three strikes and you're out. Basically, I'll be giving the keys to the jailhouse to Ms. Marchand."

* It's "Independence Day" for

Jeff Goldblum.

He's won a permanent restraining order against Linda Ransom, who he claims has stalked him for years.

The order issued Wednesday says Ransom must stay at least 100 yards from Goldblum, his home, vehicle and fly chamber.

* Paul McCartney and his

estranged wife, amateur ballroom dancer Heather Mills McCartney, appeared in London's High Court yesterday for a preliminary hearing in their divorce case.

Sir Paul whistled and snapped his fingers as he left the building, flashing a peace sign to photographers stationed outside the court's parking lot.

Heather left through a back door about half an hour later.

British law forbids publishing details of allegations in divorce cases.

Yeah, right.

* "Extra" has video of Britney

Spears wearing a brown wig out and about in Santa Monica, Wednesday night. She reportedly left the Promises Treatment Center to attend an AA meeting.

Isn't it odd that one would have to leave rehab for that?

Also on "Extra," unofficial Britney therapist Simon Cowell advised the toasted pop tart to "Go home to mom and dad . . . lock the door, eat some normal food. Don't go out with your stupid friends. Grow your hair back and make a decent record."

* Jude Law was named a knight in the Order of Arts and Letters by French Ambassador Gerard Errera at a ceremony in London yesterday.

"I am speechless," Law said. "My mom and dad have lived in France for 15 years so really it is a country I share as my home."

* Speaking of Law, ex-gal Sien-

na Miller denied to Empire magazine that she's a man-eater.

"It makes me angry that I have been linked to every single actor I have ever met," said Sienna, who was once linked to Tattle . . . by Tattle. "I've just come out of a relationship I was in for three years, and before that I was in a relationship for two years, so I've actually had a boyfriend for five years. But I have this reputation that I've shagged this bloke and this bloke.

"There's no truth in most of this. I meet Josh Hartnett and suddenly people are wondering what our babies would look like."

Currently, folks are wondering what Sienna's babies with model Jamie Burke will look like.

* On the subject of babies,

"Voice of an Angel" Charlotte Church, 21, is going to have one.

She announced on her Web site yesterday that she and rugby star-boyfriend Gavin Henson are "delighted."

Church has performed for Pope John Paul II and President Bill Clinton, but everyone is pretty sure Henson is the father. *
