CHRIS APOLOGIZES TO EVERYONE…

Looks like Chris Brown is publicly apologizing…again. For the first time since he reached a plea deal in the whole Rihanna assault case, he’s speaking out in a video message posted on ChrisBrownWorld.com – we’ll put it on Pepper and Dylan show.com…In it, he says, "I have told Rihanna countless times, and I am telling you today, that I am truly, truly sorry, and that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better. I'm not gonna sit here and make excuses...what I did was inexcusable. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me." WILL THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE? - go to our blog to see video!

JON AND…WHAT DAY IS IT AGAIN?

Ok – first there was Kate (Gosselin). They break up. Then Deanna. They break up, then Hailey Glassman (we thought he gave her a ring) –now, a week after his St Tropez getaway, he’s been spotted with…Kate. Another Kate. Star tabloid reporter Kate Major – they’re saying NOT a date, but sources say harmless flirting says otherwise…(tabloids…go right to the source)?

BACHELORETTE FINALE- PREDICTIONS!!

REID IS TOTALLY COMING BACK...that's what I think anyway...and I am not alone!

According to Reality Steve...

  • I think that Reid plays a pretty big role in what happens in the finale. Maybe he professes his love, maybe he comes back to propose, whatever the case, he plays a role in it. If he didn’t, he would’ve appeared at the “MTA” taping this past weekend, sat on the hot seat, and answered questions about his journey.
  • Many sources are not expecting a normal ending…otherwise, in all the interviews she has done, she would have said she was more in love.
  • They are predicting a cliffhanger ending Monday night – that will lead into Tuesday night After the Final Rose (since last season did so well).
  • What know is that we will not have a normal two hour finale. Something is going to happen which will force you to tune in to Tuesday night to get the resolution you’re looking for…

WE'LL ALL BE WATCHING!!!

THE WORLD SAYS GOODBYE TO THE ORIGINAL ANCHORMAN

Paula's new manager, David Sonenberg said Freemantle hasn’t even submitted a contract proposal- telling the Los Angeles Times, quote, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol." Sources say that she makes between 5 and 6 million a year but wants 9.

THE BACHELORETTE - MEN TELL ALL...

Tonight – Bachelorette "The Men Tell All". Wes and Reid are apparently NO shows…

REMEMBERING THE KING OF POP

Remember today’s date, it will no doubt be marked as one of the most historical moments in Entertainment- The Michael Jackson memorial. Wall to wall coverage all day, performers at the memorial to include Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Usher and Stevie Wonder.

MJ will create even more pandemonium in death than he did in life -- his body will take center stage at the Staples Center in downtown L.A. today- it was announced earlier this morning that the family will hold a private memorial early in the morning at Forest Lawn -- where the body is now. After the ceremony finishes, the coffin will then be transported to Staples for what promises to be one of the biggest spectacles in L.A. history.

UPDATE

We've just learned law enforcement has launched a plan to escort Michael Jackson's body from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.The plan calls for a "heavy motorcade" with the LAPD's SWAT team as part of the escort.There is also a contingency plan to helicopter the body to Staples if there's an issue of safety.We're also told approximately 100 people will attend the private memorial at Forest Lawn -- mostly family members. After the service the plan is to follow the body to Staples.

OTHER MJ DETAILS...

Now while this is all happening, a feud is boiling over regarding the expense of MJ’s funeral and memorial –more specifically WHO will pay for it. According to the LA Times, it’ll cost local taxpayers $2.5 million- many feel the Jackson’s should pay.

**2,000 POLICE OFFICERS- Parking will be a gong show today- The Holiday Inn across the street from Staples Center is charging $200 PER spot--and a few residents of local apartments tell us they are going to try and sell their garage spots for the day and just leave their car at work for the day.


IN OTHER NEWS...

Reverend Al Sharpton has also asked people around the world to watch the service at schools, churches – holding what he calls “love vigils” for MJ. Now, although no itinerary has been released for tomorrow, police say that a private ceremony for Jackson family members will be held at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, 2 hours before the memorial starts.

RIHANNA…TATTOO ARTIST?

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MICHAEL JACKSON CASE...

According to TMZ, they found the drug Deprivan in his house…an anesthesia medicine given to patients prior to surgery- it knocks them out immediately, but it’s so dangerous it’s only used at hospitals, where a patients vital signs can be monitored. IF they can prove that he got it from a doctor, that doctor could be charged with manslaughter. Cherilyn Lee (nurse/nutritionist) who was working to get Michael Jackson in shape for his comeback says the singer begged her for a drug to help him sleep. She also says Jackson complained of persistent insomnia and wanted to take the powerful sedative Diprivan. Lee says she begged Jackson not to take it...story developing.


PUBLIC MEMORIAL

Fans should NOT visit Neverland tomorrow, expecting to say farewell to the late King of Pop. a public memorial service for Michael will NOT take place at Neverland. ABC News is reporting that a public memorial will be held Tuesday at the Staples Center. The Jackson clan met with authorities on Tuesday to discuss funeral plans, but looks like it’s happening Sunday…

THE CUSTODY BATTLE BEGINS...

THE WILL...

Michael's will also places his entire estate into the Michael Jackson Family Trust, which will benefit his mother, his children and possibly some unspecified charities. The will, drafted in 2002, estimates that his estate was valued at over 500 million dollars at the time. The document notes that the estate consists almost entirely of "non-cash, non-liquid assets," including Michael's stake in the Sony-ATV Music Publishing catalog.
