Title says everything. If you wanted to get your bluff check as high as possible, how high can you make it? Here is what I came up with:
Lara, human bard 20(Negotiator), tells an officer she isn't actually drunk:
+5 CHA from 20 base CHA
+3 from CHA boosts
+2 from wish spells CHA boosts
+20 from skill ranks
+20 glibness
+20 take 20
+10 bard 1/2 CL
+8 hero point
+10 mask of stony demeanor
+6 skill focus
+1 social traits->fast talker
+4 Deceitful
+20 moment of prescience from a scroll
+4 false friend
+3 viper familiar(skill focus(any knowledge)->eldritch heritage(arcane)->viper familiar)
+3 class skill
+1 profane bonus from a succubus (courtesy of CWheezy)
=140 total

I don't think one can take 20 on a Bluff check.
You cant Take 20 with Bluff. (aka you cant keep on telling him different stories until you get a really good one)
But you can Take 10.

From a "Negotiator" bard archetype:
Master of Rhetoric (Ex)
At 5th level, the negotiator can take 10 on any Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge (local), or Sense Motive check if he has ranks in that skill.
A negotiator can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, the negotiator can take 20 on one of those skill checks (without spending any additional time). The negotiator can do this once per day at 5th level, twice per day at 11th level, and three times per day at 17th level.

Wow. I wish they wouldn't have used the phrase "take 20" there. It gives me visions of Maxwell Smart.
Smart: At the moment, seven Coast Guard cutters are converging on us. Would you believe it?
Mr Big: I find that hard to believe.
Smart: Hmmm . . . Would you believe six?
Mr Big: I don't think so.
Smart: How about two cops in a rowboat?
Instead of a succubus, you may go for a lilitu, which offers a +4 profane bonus instead of a +2. Which means another +1 to the bluff check.
Remember to take the trait Power of Suggestions to have some fun.

My Thoughts is that the situation would look something like this

Also, a Lilitu Demon is better than a Succubus, because the Lilitu gives +4 to a stat as opposed to the Succubus's +2(EDIT:this was already mentioned above, but I am pointing it out again).

Wouldn't work since your headband of charisma doesn't stack with Eagle's Splendor or other enhancement boosts to Cha.
+20 from skill ranks
+20 glibness
+20 take 20
Don't think you can take 20 here since there's consequences for failure.

Your total may be a little high for the reasons I mentioned above. You should double check if several of those items are able to stack.
A Kitsune with a single level in Rogue can take the Kitsune Trickster archetype. For more fun they get an alternate racial.
In addition you can worship Arshea for a +4 sacred bonus to anyone that could be sexually attracted to you. (Which is basically everything humanoid in Pathfinder.) And could BECOME a Succubus through the ubber evil path laid iut in the demon book.

Isn't it 20 base, +6 from a headband and +5 from Wish(inherent bonus, not enhancement)? I don't see anything that implies that Eagle's Splendor.
In fact, I don't see level boosts to Cha in that list. The Bard should have 36 Cha at level 20 from base+wish+levels+headband, for a total bonus of +13.
+20 from skill ranks
+20 glibness
+20 take 20

Take 20 is explicitly permitted by the Bard's archetype (Negotiator).

No mention of what spell was used is made. Just "+2 from spells". And if you're assuming +5 cha from wish, why not instead opt for stat tomes? Presumably someone in the party is able to craft them if you're getting idealized equipment and buffs, and it's less likely to backfire then relying on Wish spells.

>Wouldn't work since your headband of charisma doesn't stack with Eagle's Splendor or other enhancement boosts to Cha.
My headband of CHA gives me a +3(+3 from CHA boosts). I don't use Eagle's Splendor and never mentioned it, I believe?

Uh, it doesn't say that anywhere? Maybe you are thinking of the +2 from wish spells?
- +8 untyped bonus to a d20 roll from Inexplicable Luck.
- +4 from a helpful Halfling using Aid Another.
Remember that same type bonuses don't stack, avoron, so some of those aren't too useful - nice list though!
