I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but things have been pretty crazy in the Los Angeles area since Michael Jackson died on June 25th; around the world, really. Michael Jackson’s family and AEG (the company promoting Michael’s comeback tour in the UK) noticed the chaos and they’re doing everything in their power to assure a safe memorial service while at the same time pleasing the fans and making things as fair as possible when it comes to ticket distribution. Personally, I think they’ve come up with a good idea. Obviously not every single...

Michael Jackson had a secret wife. Um…..yeah….. Nona Paris Lola Ankhesenamun Jackson says so anyway, and she claims that secret wife is her. No, seriously. She even filed a lawsuit with the Los Angeles Superior Court this morning – demanding all of Michael Jackson’s money and his children, among other things.

Poor Michael Jackson, he hasn’t even been laid to rest and already people are coming out from under the rocks, seemingly breaking their confidentiality agreements, and spilling the beans on what “really” happened. All of it, of course, is merely speculation at this point. The almighty “sources” close to Michael Jackson are saying that not only is Michael Jackson not the biological father of his three children, Debbie Rowe isn’t even the biological mother of the two oldest kids. And on top of that, Michael never actually legally adopted...

Billy Mays was found dead this morning, about 12 hours after he had returned home from a flight during which he was hit over the head when one of the plane’s tires blew out, causing a rough landing. There is no confirmation that the hit over his head contributed to Billy’s death, but it does seem like and awfully big coincidence. Just to be safe and cover their asses I’m sure, the FAA has already released a statement basically blaming Billy Mays for getting hit – because he wasn’t wearing a seat belt. From TMZ: Here’s what we know—Billy...

The umpire Alan Mills instructed Anne White to wear a more appropriate outfit the next day; she did, and lost the third set. Later Anne White was quoted as saying, “I had no idea it would be so...

Learning that a politician is having an affair is like learning the Duggars are having another baby – neither shocking nor surprising.
