More and more details keep popping up about the late King of Pop Michael Jackson and the troubling drug problems he almost certainly one had. Sources say that in order to get more prescription medications, the singer used multiple aliases, including names of his bodyguards, staff and doctors, to fill multiple prescriptions. On source even reveals that the abuse was so serious that one doctor would “call the pharmacy and say Jackson was coming down to get Demerol. The pharmacy would then fill the prescription, leaving the patient’s name blank.” The DEA has now gotten involved as they are helping the LAPD investigate several physicians linked to Michael for prescribing drugs to him.
Cheryl Cole has dazzled in a creamy nude-style party dress with cut-out front at her 26th birthday bash at Vanilla.
Cole invited fellow X-Factor judge Dannii Minogue to the party, fulfilling the forecast of fellow judge on the show Simon Cowell. He has recently said there is an olive branch between the pair and predicted they would heal their past rivalry.
Minogue looked stylish in a smoky satin asymmetrical dress with oversized frill and a blue belt with matching large ring. She carried a gold-hued clutch.
Cole’s stunning dress was the creation of Alexander McQueen and priced at £4,000. She paired the outfit with skin-coloured £495 Christian Louboutin sling-back heels.
Cowell appeared at the party, cigarette in hand, with ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour. Also in attendance was Cole’s footballer husband Ashley Cole, her mother Joan Callaghan, and Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts. Other guests included Emma Bunton and Holly Willoughby.
Cowell is said to be thinking of launching his own venture, with Cole as its new face. Other reports say he is offering her £100,000 to sign on for the next series.
Kendra Wilkinson has not forgotten her fans as she takes off for a honeymoon in St Lucia following a fairytale wedding to Hank Baskett.
The former Playboy Playmate has posted her honeymoon playlist on her website and promised “there is no one music genre for a honeymoon”.
Wilkinson earmarks her wedding song as Cross My Heart by George Strait. She also reports that the newlyweds are “having the best time” on a secluded beach.
Wilkinson and Baskett – and of course their fans – will groove to the following playlist:
Reality star Khloe Kardashian has admitted she has lost 20lbs since her PETA shoot after changing her eating habits and hitting the gym.
The 25-year-old, who will soon be seen in her new reality show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, admitted she lost the weight since shedding her clothes for PETA’s I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.
She said: “I’ve changed my eating. Eating is my hardest problem. I need sweets. That’s my major problem. And I’ve been killing myself at the gym.”
The star admitted that she will be getting her body out for her upcoming reality show.
She said: “I actually was in a bikini on camera! I’ve never done that and I wouldn’t have ever thought to do that.
“And I have to admit, I was still insecure… I’ve just got to tone up more, but I never would have done that before – ever. I would rather have died.”
Khloe’s sister Kim, 28, has posed for Playboy in the past and Khloe admitted she will never say never about following in her footsteps.
She said: “I like doing things for a reason, and not just because someone gave me a big cheque. So I personally will say, not right now, but I can’t say never.”
The Girls Aloud singer will be undergoing a painful process involving laser surgery in order to have a tattoo of hers removed because she believes it no longer suits her image. A source said the following about Cheryl Cole’s decision to get rid of her tattoo: “Cheryl feels like she has outgrown the tattoo and is worried it no longer fits with her image.” And guess what Cheryl Cole is going to do in order to solidify her new image: get another tattoo that fits this new image better than the old one. And then the process can repeat itself again and again until the end of time.
The singer and his estranged wife are now engaged in what military terms might designate as being open war. After being slandered, Peter Andre is gathering up his forces in order to see how he can strike back, as a source relates: “He is fuming about what’s been said. He’s going to meet his people to see what can be done. As far as he’s concerned, it’s a new low, getting pals to take sides and make vicious slurs.” So this is the part of the whole mess that’s actually going to be entertaining, right? And after that there’s the divorce and then things between Peter Andre and Katie Price should get back to… well, quiet.
The LA County Coroner’s office has gone back to Michael Jackson’s home to retrieve his medications, based on information turned up by the LAPD. The Coroner’s staff left the house with two large plastic bags though they would not say what types of medicine were retrieved from the late singer’s home. The LAPD has said to have retrieved several prescription bottles from the house but the plastic bags by no means were filled with pills. It is increasingly looking like the King of Pop died from a drug overdose, possibly a combination of several drugs that he was prescribed and had gotten addicted to.
Michael Jackson’s father has revealed the family have not yet planned the pop star’s funeral – but that they do want the public involved.
In a bizarre press conference outside the Jackson family home in Los Angeles, Joe Jackson was accompanied by the Reverend Al Sharpton.
The press conference was expected to be held to announce details of Jacko’s funeral or memorial service.
But it began with Rev Sharpton defending Joe Jackson’s appearance at the BET Awards just three days after his son passed away.
Joe continued talking about his record company after Sharpton’s introduction, rambling about Miraz Records before finally turning the talk to his famous son.
Wearing a black shirt and hat, Joe Jackson said: “Hello everybody, I’m here to witness, something that we want you to know.
“I was asked a question last night about the record company, well what I am doing is, I established a record company with Marshall and that company is called Miraz Record.
So we have a lot of good artists to come out. I was asked that question and I answered like it was, but they wanted to know what else I was doing.”
Twilight star Peter Facinelli has denied claiming he was “Team Jacob” on his Twitter page.
Peter, 35, plays vampire elder Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the vampire flick and he recently replied to someone else’s post on the page where they said they were “Team Jacob”.
However, fans got confused by his “retweet” and thought the actor was saying he was on the side of the werewolves and Jacob Black.
But the actor insisted he is on the side of the vampire clan and his on-screen adoptive son, Edward Cullen.
Peter later posted a message that said: “There’s been some confusion.
“The Team Jacob was a RT-retweet from someone else. I am and always will be Team Edward. Sorry. I know, Nepotism.”
Cindy Margolis and Guy Starkman have filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
Margolis, a Playboy covergirl, model and TV hostess, and Starkman, who owns Jerry’s Famous Deli, have three children. They have requested joint custody of Nicholas, 7, and three-year-old twins Sierra and Sabrina. The divorce petition was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on June 23.
The couple reportedly met on a blind date and have been married for nine years.
Margolis, 43, first drew attention to herself when she released her own range of greeting cards, featuring her wearing lingerie. A highly successful modelling career followed. She has had a late-night Saturday talk show, appeared in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and has begun production on reality-TV dating show Sex and the Cindy.
Margolis was Yahoo Internet Life magazine’s “Queen of the Internet” from 1996-1999. According to imdb.com, she has been downloaded worldwide more than 58 million times and is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records (2000).
Vanessa Minnillo, 28, cozied up to Topher Grace at a party at animator Seth MacFarlane’s, according to a US report.
Grace, the 30-year-old star of Spider-Man 3, whispered in the TV host turned actress’s ear, stroked her arm and got her phone number, it was reported.
The event was billed the party of the season and held in an outdoor casino with an orchestra.
While dancing, Minnillo kissed Grace’s neck. The pair shook up the dance floor with some dirty dancing. Minnillo took off her shoes and held them in one hand while wrapping her other arm around Grace’s neck.
About 1.30am on Sunday, the pair left the party together.
Grace played of Venom, aka Eddie Brock, and is set to star in the upcoming Valentine’s Day.
Minnillo in recent days announced her break-up with Nich Lachey, 35.
Another Miley Cyrus photo controversy making the rounds on the internet. The Hannah Montana star was fooling around in her dressing room on the set of her new movie and someone documented the pictures. Producer/director Adam Shankman took to his Twitter and posted the pictures and then got surprised when it was deemed controversial. He wrote “Miley Cyrus is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! Seriously! Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She’s like my angel little sister.” When your sweet little sister mounts a chair, gives provocative face and you feel the need to show it to the world, it’s going to raise some eyebrows.
A desperate man told an emergency responder Michael Jackson was unconscious and had stopped breathing in a dramatic 911 call made from the King of Pop’s home.
The unidentified caller told the operator Jackson’s personal doctor – named in reports as Dr Conrad Murray – was on the scene and was the only witness to the incident.
In the tape, released a day after Jackson’s death, the man says: “I need an ambulance as soon as possible. We have a gentleman here who needs help and who is not breathing and we’re trying to pump him but he’s not…
In the call, made at 12.21pm local time on Wednesday, he tells the operator: “Yes, he’s not breathing sir.”
Asked if Jackson was conscious, he replies: “No, he’s not conscious.”
He says Jackson is on a bed and is told to put him on the floor for CPR.
The man says: “We have a personal doctor here with him.”
But he adds: “He’s not responding to anything. He’s not responding to CPR or anything.”
The operator asks if anyone saw what happened to Jackson and the man replies: “No, just the doctor. The doctor’s been the only one here.”
The operator asks: “OK, so did the doctor see what happened?”
The man is then heard asking the doctor: “Did you see what happened?”
There is some background noise before the man urges the operator: “Sir, please, if you can please….”
He tells the operator: “He’s pumping, pumping his chest but he’s not responding to anything.”
The operator reassures him: “OK, we’re on our way.”
Michael Jackson’s family lawyer says the performer’s reliance on painkillers had become “life threatening”.
Brian Oxman fears the medication may have contributed to the 50-year-old’s death from a suspected heart attack.
The lawyer said: “I don’t know if they are the cause here. I will reserve my conclusions until the toxicology reports and the coroner has made his report before I make any accusations. But I can tell you that if it is as I fear I will not be silent.
“I have been very, very critical of the use of pain medications. I have told people in no uncertain terms that if Michael one day woke up and he was dead I would not be silent, I would not permit this to go unchallenged.
“Michael had fallen from a stage several years ago. He cracked a vertebrae in his back. He also broke his leg and it’s caused him a lot of pain. The result of that is he has taken a lot of pain medications. They’ve been to treat actual pains he’s had, but the use of these medications I felt had become life threatening.”
Katie Price reportedly begged a British builder for a threesome with her and her new boyfriend, it has been claimed.
Katie, 31, met Matt Moffatt while she was partying in Ibiza recently and it is claimed he “couldn’t believe his luck” with the star’s proposal.
He said he went looking for the star when he heard she was partying in a club’s VIP area. But her new man Anthony Lowther, 28, reportedly wasn’t impressed with their flirting.
Matt said: “I went over and made conversation with them both. I could tell that she was giving me the eye, so I became flirtatious. With a bit of Dutch courage, I jokingly suggested a threesome.
“To my surprise she said she was gagging for a s**g and it must be her lucky night having two tall dark handsome men ready to go! I couldn’t believe my luck.”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will rent a sprawling country estate in New York owned by Rupert Murdoch, it was reported.
The Rosehearty estate is located on Centre Island, and has been put back on the market for $12.8 million by Murdoch and his wife Wendi Deng.
Pitt and Jolie are lined up to rent the property for more than $100,000 per month in summer while their own property Sassafras, the 40-acre estate they own in Lloyd Harbor, undergoes renovations. While the move was first reported in April, it was confirmed this month.
Rosehearty is a traditional Federal-style family home built in 1885 that has 11 bedrooms and sits on a sunny incline. Its lawns roll down into Oyster Bay Harbor.
Numerous sightings of the couple were reported around the area earlier this year. But Centre Island Mayor Jack Williams instilled calm into the frenzy. “I haven’t seen them and as far as I know none of our police officers have seen them.”
It seems that the Girls Aloud singer who has been recently voted the world’s sexiest woman will be spending about 164000 dollars a year on maintaining her looks. A source said the following about Cheryl Cole’s “investments” in keeping her image: “Cheryl is the most ambitious person I know. She spends a lot of money looking her best, but it’s not about vanity, it’s about achieving as much as she can. She sees it as an investment – something she needs to perfect to do well in her career.” Of course Cheryl Cole is supposed to achieve the best she can… but if that best is just looking hot, than Cheryl Cole might need a little character reassessment. But of course she’s going to make that kind of investment in herself… after all, what’s going to keep her career going if not her looks?
An “overzealous fan” has been ordered to attend an anti-stalking school after being convicted of harassing Tyra Banks.
New York Judge James Burke sentenced Brady Green, 39, to one-year probation for his hounding of the model turned talk-show host.
Green was ordered to stay away from Banks for two years and to attend a stalking-modification program at John Jay College called Project SHARP – short for Stopping Harassment and Relationship Problems.
The Georgia man thought he had a relationship with the outspoken model, and he tried to track her down in January 2008 with repeated phone calls to her show’s offices.
He later got the address and was arrested inside the studio, where he had sneaked in after twice being told to leave.
He was convicted of stalking earlier this year, with Banks as the star witness.
Katie Price has defended her behaviour in Ibiza and claimed she’s a “young woman” and she’s “going through a split”.
The 31-year-old has recently been seen partying in Ibiza and posing for her new calendar. It was revealed last month that Katie and husband Peter Andre, 36, were splitting after three and a half years of marriage.
She has now said: “I’ve had a great time in Ibiza and people can slate me all they like – I work hard, I’m a good mum, I’m a young woman and I’m going through a split.
“There’s nothing wrong with going away and having a good time for a week after all I’ve been through. And I bet you there are loads of women around the country who would do exactly the same thing.”
The mum-of-three, whose children are in Cyprus with Peter, also said she is currently filming her own reality show – without her estranged husband.
She said: “I’ve been doing a shoot for my calendar and filming my new reality show – it will be the same as the ITV2 one I did with Pete but you will see a happier side of me.
“It will be me working and going about my life and will be out in September. I don’t know anything about whether Pete’s going to do one as he’s his person – it’s nothing to do with me.”
Josh Duhamel says that he uses the stripper pole in his house more than his wife Fergie does.
The couple received the pole as a wedding present but, despite regularly dancing on stage, the actor says his wife has given toy a wide berth.
“You want to know the truth? I’ve played on the pole more than she has,” says the 36-year-old who thinks the “a**” is the hottest part of a woman’s body.
“If you know my wife, she’s a perfectionist and won’t get on until she’s good, so she wants to take a class first. So the pole is really just decorative at this point.”
But Duhamel – who has only been married to Fergie for six months – says they manage to spice up their love life without using the pole.
“As for keeping things spicy,” he says, “I have to quote Kevin Bacon: ‘Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty’.”
The actor says that being married has changed his relationship with the 34-year-old Black Eyed Peas singer. “It just feels more chill now because there’s less pressure,” he says.
“We’ve done it, we’re together, we’re happy…and it’s a great feeling. Everything I do now involves [Fergie] and I love that.
The rock band whose guitarist, Jamie Hince, had such a rough argument with his girlfriend, Kate Moss, that she threw his laptop into a pool where he had six of the band’s new tracks that weren’t saved anywhere else. A source related the incident: “Kate and Jamie started bickering out of nowhere and the row quickly escalated. She stalked off outside and, before he had a chance to react, Kate grabbed his bag and threw it into the pool. Unfortunately it contained his laptop, Blackberry and personal diary. Jamie was speechless. He waded into the water to take the bag out, and tried to save the laptop – removing the hard drive and putting it into an airing cupboard.” The fans are probably going to really hate Kate Moss for this one. Talk about a nether region hit… this one was really, really low!
The actress who broke up from the singer some time ago has apparently been sending him little good luck notes before concerts. And even more than this, the notes were perfumed. A source related the following Jennifer Aniston’s new little hobby: “Jennifer sent John a hand-delivered perfumed note before one of his concerts recently. It read, ‘Play well, you always do’. It was sweet. Clearly she doesn’t want to let go completely.” More so, it seems that John Mayer has apparently not showed any interest in women after he broke up from Jennifer Aniston… but how could he? He’s too busy using twitter every goddamned moment of the day! It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if it were the women that show no more interest in John Mayer.
The famous pop singer who’s apparently still the biggest lawsuit well of the decade… and still going hot now that he has some prospects for income, apparently had no idea about a lawsuit from his former publicist Raymone Bain. She sued Michael Jackson for fourty-four million dollars and got a default judgement because of the lack of legal repsonse by Michael Jackson, but now the singer is saying he had no idea about the fact that he was being sued so he’s trying to get the judgement cancelled. This would be a good lesson for Michael Jackson to google himself from time to time and avoid surprises like this one.
It seems that the estranged wife of singer Peter Andre who’s “enjoying” a vacation at Ibiza is starting to feel the disadvantages of being single again. Katie Price supposedly said the following to friends: “I’m randy. I need a shag, it’s driving me mad.” This must be Peter Andre’s cue… or not. But anyway, how come Katie Price is complaining? After all, she’s a drunken and beautiful glamour model in one of the most depraved… erm, liberal places for having fun in the world. How hard can it be for her to find somebody for a quick and easy lay?

Black Eyed Peas ‘The E.N.D.’ Lands At #1 On The Billboard 200 Chart
Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D.” bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 304,000 — the hip-pop act’s best sales week ever. It’s also the first No. 1 album for the group, which had previously gone as high as No. 2. Its last set, 2005’s “Monkey Business,” bowed in the runner-up slot with a then-best 291,000. It had the unfortunate luck to come out the same week as Coldplay’s “X&Y,” which kept the Peas’ at bay when it started at No. 1 with 737,000. via Billboard.com
Japan’s hottest rising adult actress was scared stiff of telling her parents about her job . . . but they already knew.
Since the start of the year, Rei Aoi had been struggling with a secret. She wanted to tell her parents how well she was doing in her new job, but was concerned about their reaction.
After all, doting parents are unlikely to take the news that their youngest daughter has become an overnight sensation in the pornographic movie industry very well.
But Rei’s parents had a secret as well. They already knew.
"I only told them yesterday," says 20-year-old Rei, with her trademark shy giggle.
"Ever since I started making movies, I’ve been worried about what people think of me because, after all, they see me naked. But since I realised that I have found something that I am good at and I enjoy what I’m doing, I have become comfortable in this life.
"I thought I should tell my friends what I was doing before they found out for themselves, and at first I was concerned about telling them, but they were supportive and they can see that I have not changed as a person at all."
But telling her family was a far more difficult proposition.
"Before I told them, I had listened to advice from a lot of people and had prepared in my mind all sorts of things to say when they got angry with me – but when I told them, they said they already knew," she says. "They were just waiting for me to find it inside myself to tell them."
Rei’s parents could not bring themselves to actively supporting their daughter in her career choice, which they discovered after finding her blog on the Internet, but they equally never pressured her to stop making adult movies.
"My father told me that he had known me from when I was born, that they had raised me well and that I seemed to be in the right place for me at the moment," she says. "They understand that I’m going through a process and they hope to learn from our experiences."
Mature beyond her 20 years, Rei speaks frankly about how she was recruited into the industry and what a typical day’s work involves.
She made her first movie in December – titled "Honey Bunny," which sold a very impressive 10,000 copies – and has now made five titles with HMP Co. Ltd.
"I was working as a model for bridal magazines and doing some other photos shoots, but I out shopping one day when a scout approached me and asked if I would be interested in doing adult videos," she says. "I listened to what he said, thought about it and then went to the company’s offices to see for myself.
"I spoke to a person pretty high up in the company, same some photos of other girls working for them and I was quite surprised," she said. "My image had been that this was a dark and gloomy world, but it’s not like that at all and now I’ve been working here for a while I feel very positive about the industry."
A film will generally be shot over two days, with Rei’s manager picking her up from her apartment and getting her to the studio around 9 a.m. For breakfast, she will eat figs – "Because I’ve been told they increase a girl’s hormones" – and a yogurt. She will also put some music on in the background before the make-up artist gets to work. That process is followed by a meeting with the director, when she will go over her lines and scenes and meet her male co-stars. Filming starts around 11 a.m.
"When I made my first movie, I couldn’t think," she says. "I was worried that so many people were going to be around, I guess I was self-conscious, but you very quickly get used to it."
She has quickly earned a reputation as a consumate professional and directors enjoy working with her because she so rarely makes mistakes when the cameras are rolling.
"There are times when I have to think about many different things all at the same time, but now I just enjoy it so much that it has become pretty natural."
After a light lunch, a second scene is filmed in the afternoon.
"After a day on the set, I’m really tired so I go home and have a long bath," she says. "I spend a lot of time in the bath, maybe reading a magazine, and the day after filming has finished I’ll go out with my friends."
She also spends at least an hour every day updating her blog – http://blog.livedoor.jp/blue_rei/ – and replying to her fans’ messages.
Rei is coy on the money that she earns but admits that even though she only works two days a month, she says she "has never had as much money as after making a film."
The working life of an actress in an industry where tastes change rapidly can be as little as six months but as much as five years, depending on the girl’s motivation, but Rei already has a longer-term view of how she wants her life to be. She loves what she is doing now – the worst bit is having to diet in the days before a shoot – she wants her films to be seen by audiences overseas and, one day, she plans to have three children.
And she will not have any qualms about telling them what their mother did when she was younger.
Katie Price, aka Jordan, bared her breasts on a slick speedboat yesterday as her no-holds-barred sojourn on the Spanish resort island of Ibiza continued, says a UK report.
Jordan was seen on the sun-drenched boat baring a tanned upper body, while the report claimed she was privately feeling shattered about her love life.
“I can’t find a man that will take me,” she reportedly said before peeling off her clothes. “I’m randy. I need a shag, it’s driving me mad.”
With her marriage to Peter Andre in tatters, Jordan reportedly says she can’t find a man because all the good ones have already been taken.
A friend was quoted as saying: “Katie knows she was very lucky to have Peter, who was so good to her. She can be very demanding and hard to live with.
“But Katie is getting older now and a lot of the best men have already found wives or girlfriends. Katie is paranoid that anyone who is interested in her is after her money or her fame.”
Andre, meanwhile, was snapped on holiday in Cyprus with the couple’s three children, Harvey, 8, Junior, 4 and Princess Tiaamii, 1. He appeared the very model of a dad on summer holiday with the kids.
For her part, Jordan has partied up a storm on Ibiza, dancing on a tabletop, striking pin-up poses for a calendar on the beach where she swirled in the sand, and keeping company with male models, including Anthony Lowther and her ex Matt Peacock.
She also reportedly had dinner in the island’s gay quarter of Ibiza Town. A source said: “Jordan loves being around gay men as they always tell her how great she looks.”
According to one report, she was preparing to spend a night out as a VIP guest at the Pacha nightclub’s F*** Me I’m Famous night.
