THE KING OF POP DIES AT 50

MICHAEL JACKSON -- the self-professed "King of Pop" and the artist named "The Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by the Guinness Book of World Records -- has died at the age of 50.

Reports are that Jackson suffered cardiac arrest at his home in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. Someone in Jackson's household called 911 at around 12:26 PT, and responding paramedics reportedly found him with no pulse or respiration. Attempts to revive Jackson in the ambulance en route to UCLA Medical Center were unsuccessful, as were subsequent attempts at the hospital. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office confirms that Jackson was declared dead at 2:26 PM PT.

Reports that Jackson was alive but comatose upon arriving at UCLA Medical Center were apparently inaccurate.Speaking at UCLA Medical Center yesterday, Michael's brother JERMAINE said, quote, "It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known."

An autopsy is scheduled for today.

JON AND KATE DIVORCING...TLC HALTS PRODUCTION

As we now know, Jon and Kate are divorcing. Well the end might be closer than we think, TLC has just announced that the network, has ordered a halt to production of the show...next week's episode will feature clips of unseen footage, but following that there will be no new episodes ’til August 3rd, since they can't use what they have and don't know how to proceed (We're supposed to see 24 more episodes...).

CHRIS BROWN TO PULL WEEDS

Chris Brown reached a plea - NO jail time, but he'll spend 180 days doing community labor (8 hours a day -- 1440 hours total). A Virginia law enforcement officer told us Brown will be picking up trash, pulling weeds and washing fire trucks. He also gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault -- he plead guilty. He'll get supervised probation. He'll have to come back to court every three months. He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program and if he must stay 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards away if they are at the same public event. The stay away order lasts for 5 years. If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison. Basically, Chris Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel.

BLACK EYED PEREZ PRESSES CHARGES

Polo Molino, the tour manager for the Black Eyed Peas has been charged with hitting Perez Hilton in the MMVA aftermath…He’s due in court August 5th – so far, the Peas haven’t commented.

OMG OPRAH!

The Harpo crew will travel from Barcelona to Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Malta on a Norwegian Gem liner booked specifically for the occasion.

LADY GAGA'S TA-TA's!

Et voila!
MMVA DRAMA! BLACK EYED PEREZ...

Perez Hilton is claiming that Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas assaulted him…the whole thing went down on Twitter just minutes after the MMVA’s finished in Toronto. Instead of calling Toronto police, Perez used his T-Mobile Sidekick to go on Twitter and get his followers to call the cops for him. “I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.” Then: “I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.” Then: "Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel." Then: "I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here." –

UPDATE: Black Eyed Peas band member Will.I.Am has since made a video explaining what happened. Draw your own conclusions. OH WAIT! The Awards- Nickelback won 3, The Midway State 2 and Lady Gaga won Best International Video of the Year. Oh and her boobs had fireworks. That basically sums up the MMVA’s last night. (other award getters included Simple Plan (Favourite Video) and the Jonas Brothers (Favorite International Video and UR Fave Award).

CHRIS AND RIHANNA HEAD TO COURT

Chris AND Rihanna will be in court this afternoon- in a hearing to see if there’s enough evidence against Chris to send him to trial. Rihanna WILL be testifying against him, no cameras allowed, but artists will be allowed to sketch the proceedings – I am sure those drawings will be up later today…

GOSSIP GIRL SEX TAPE

Not a good day for the Gossip Girls- Leighton Meester who plays Blake (sex tape), 5 years ago, pretty tame by tape standards, but apparently she has talented feet. I know…that’s all I know! Lawyers plan to get involved…

JENNIFER DATING BRAD…LEY.

Jennifer Aniston was spotted having dinner with Brad…Cooper. Bradley Cooper. Dinner and yes, it was a date. The couple reportedly met a few weeks ago and are “taking things slowly”.

EDWARD CULLEN INTERCEPTS A TAXI

Robert Pattinson was just hit by a car, but HE IS OK. REPEAT, EDWARD CULLEN IS OK. He was crossing the street in Manhattan with his bodyguards to avoid a swarming mess of crazy fans and he got hit by a taxi. He’s fine (he’s a vampire DUH)


JON AND KATE NOT GREAT...AT ALL

Ratings have plunged 70% since the Season Premiere of Jon and Kate – no surprise they’re making an announcement Monday night. TLC won’t reveal the details but reports show they’re already separated and lawyers have been contacted…show will probably finish too. I’ve also read that if you want the same haircut as Kate – the frosted, chunk-striped, bi-level, reverse mullet weave, you can go to Diane's Hair Design in Pennsylvania.


DAVID'S DAD IN DEEP

Member little sweet David Archuleta- runner up on last year's American Idol? Well his Dad James Jeffrey Archleta is in HOT WATER…The report is that Mr Archuleta was cited in a prostitution sting at a Midvale, Utah massage parlor. His lawyers are claiming that Archie's dad had gone to the parlor to get treatment for his back and was not involved in any naughty behavior. Story still developing...

NO MORE O’MALLEY

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s confirmed…George O’Malley (TR Knight) is dead and will NOT be coming back to Grey’s Anatomy. Show creator Shonda Rhimes reportedly had 12 more days to make her decision, but he wanted out of his contract – so, it’s done. Word is, he’s heading to Broadway…(Lend Me a Tenor).

AL ROKER…THE ENFORCER?

Who would have ever thought the person that would try to take down Heidi and Spencer Pratt…would be Al Roker? Mr weatherman interviewed them yesterday on the Today Show and it was incredibly awkward, he inferred that Spencer was a jerk, question their religion and apparently made Heidi cry after it was over. Then, he ran to his computer and twittered that they were at the 11 minute mark of their 15 minutes of fame. Heidi retaliates by going on Ryan Seacrest’s show and warns women to stay away. Story developing…good lord.






LINDSAY LOHAN…THE CAT BURGLAR?

For the 3rd time this year, she’s been accused of robbery (A mink coat in January, then a couple months later, Louis Vuitton stated they won’t work with her after some alleged stealing)…well the latest incident happened at an Elle Magazine photo shoot in London, Lindsay was gushing over a necklace and earrings she had to wear, worth $500,000. 2 days after the shoot, Elle representatives called the studio asking, hey where’s our stuff? GONE. Lindsay had flown back to NY. Now the case has been handed over to the Scotland Yard, British authorities are trying to reach her for questioning.

THE SECRET TO ETERNAL YOUTH

For centuries, mankind has been searching for the secret of eternal youth. Well if the reports are correct, Catherine Zeta-Jones seems to have found it. A reporter could be very close to blowing her cover…he recently got his hands on an insurance report filed by a studio, where her REAL D.O.B. was listed…as 51 years old, not 39 like all of her bios say. This could open up a whole can of worms, as they are threatening to blow the lid off Hollywood, exposing a TON of other celebs who have been lying. (Beyonce, J-Lo, Sandra Bullock, Barbara Walters). Men? Does it matter?


JO-BROS…THE TWILIGHT OF MUSIC!

We might as well call today Jonas Brothers Day. They’ll be hosting the MMVA’s on Sunday night, the Teen Choice Awards August 10th on Fox, today, ALL day the Disney Channel is playing a JoBros marathon and they’re new album Lines, Vines & Trying Times is in stores.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

"These guys are going to spend more money before lunchtime than most (networks) will spend on a series. This could be the biggest movie Alberta has ever seen.” PS- An insider said Inception will employ hundreds, if not thousands, of locals starting this summer when construction on the elaborate set is due to begin.

ROB PATTINSON HAS “HAD HELP”

Over the weekend the internet was buzzing with pictures of Rob Pattinson, shirtless, abs aglow filming New Moon in Italy…but,ohhh, I have some bad news ladies. If Star Magazine is correct, the abs are fake!! He had a team of makeup artists working on his stomach, PAINTING on abs – to look like he had a six pack. Liquid body paint, shading and airbrushing to make torso look toned!!!!!!!

IT’S A YES FOR MADONNA!

Looks like Madonna WILL be allowed to adopt Mercy James from Malawi – the high court handed down the ruling on Friday – Madonna expects to bring her home shortly.

DAVID CARRADINE FOUND DEAD IN BANGKOK HOTEL

David Carradine, best known for his roles in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu and Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films, was found yesterday naked and hanging dead in a closet in his Bangkok hotel room. Officials are still investigating suicide, however they are not ruling out a sex act gone awry. Carradine was in Thailand to work on a thriller titled Stretch, which began filming on Tuesday. According to the Thai newspaper The Nation, Carradine's body was discovered by a hotel maid on Thursday morning after he failed to join fellow crew members for a meal the previous day. Carradine married five times and has two daughters.

BRANGELINA RUMORS CONTINUE TO SIMMER

On the Angelina/Brad front…the rumors were picking up steam in the last 24hrs, however now they seem to be simmering. Here are the latest headlines: Brad drunk dials Jennifer…Brad seen wearing necklace from Jennifer…Brad and Angelina headed towards a $250 million dollar split…The only rumor we can pretty much believe at this point is the birthday present Brad bought 3 year old daughter Shiloh. Not one, but 2 diamond and platinum necklaces from jeweler Neil Lane, 1.5 carats, $15,000 each. Uhhhhh whatever happened to Barbies, a kitchen set…playdoh barber shop??

MARTINI, STRAIGHT UP PLEASE!

George Clooney’s makin a little news, he’s got a new GF...23-year-old aspiring actress and model and cocktail waitress named Lucy Wolvert. They’ve been secretly dating for a couple months now, he told her to keep it on the DL, she didn’t. She went right to US Weekly and spilled the beans, now we’re not sure how long he’ll stick around.

ARE THEY….AREN’T THEY??

Reports EVERYWHERE yesterday claimed that Brad and Angelina were officially splitting. This morning, we're hearing that's not necessarily official. Here’s what we’ve heard. An insider says-

“They will make it official. It looks like Brad will be shooting two movies in California and in the Amazon, while Angelina is retreating to their French chateau with the rest of the family. Make no mistake, this is a major split”.

Bottom line…there has been MASSIVE speculation since April of 08. He’s been drinking and talking to Jennifer Aniston, Ange is fed up and wants Brad to move out...actually offering him $90 million to walk away!! You're going to hear lots of different reports, so read with a grain of salt...for now. My thoughts?

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

JON AND KATE…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?

They are on 5 tabloid covers this week…my fave is People, with Jon saying “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”, basically, leave us alone. They’re also doing an ongoing investigation because apparently Kate pulled the kids out of school to go on a vacation to escape the media, but then when she got away, she didn’t even hang out with the kids. Should we leave them alone? Are they exploiting the kids for money? So many questions…do we care enough to wait for the answers?

IT’S BEEN WHAT, 14 HOURS?

NEWSFLASH! Lindsay Lohan has switched back to men. Last spotted in the bed of Kellen Lutz (Emmett Cullen in Twilight). PS – Kellen wasn’t even home when she got into his bed! (I know, sit with that one for a bit).

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO…

Well – I guess some of us have been snowed…the ENTIRE Eminem and Bruno MTV Movie Awards stunt was fake. Staged, rehearsed, planned, prepared…right down to the positioning of the butt in the face. I guess the microphone on Eminem and perfectly planted cameramen were the tip off…nice work Em!

WANNA BE STUCK ON THE BEST BOAT EVER?!?!

I’m not sure I need you guys to sit down, but if you are a girl between the ages of 12 and 45, sit down. They have just announced a TWILIGHT CRUISE. 1,000 Twilight fans on a boat, circling Alaska.

LICENSE TO CHILL

Wanna lick Daniel Craig? Well if we lived in the UK, we could this week because Del Monte is releasing a limited edition Popsicle in his likeness. James Bond is being immortalized in the frozen treat concoction after winning a poll. You can get a blueberry, pomegranate or cranberry flavored Daniel. – the “Craniel”.

WAS EM IN ON IT?

MTV Movie Awards last night- Twilight won almost everything (Best Fight, Best Kiss, Breakthrough Male/Female and Best Movie)…Bigger news though was when Bruno (aka Sacha Baron Cohen) descended from the “heavens” and landed in Eminem’s face, sporting nothing but a Speedo/thong combo. Needless to say, Em walked out. Check out video below – then weigh in…do you think Eminem KNEW this was happening…ie – was it all staged?
