Anna Nicole Smith is house-hunting again in the Bahamas, where a former boyfriend is seeking to remove her from a waterfront home where she has taken refuge since her son's death.The reality TV star and her companion Howard K. Stern are considering homes on the islands of Eleuthera, Grand Bahama and elsewhere in the archipelago, Smith lawyer Wayne Munroe said today.
