Ay yi yi. Yes, he was a legendary entertainer who was ahead of his time but GOOD GOD the man was creepy. Even the most diehard fan can’t deny that the man had some SERIOUS issues.
Anywhodles, here are just a few of the items that showed up in the Entertainment Memorabilia Auction with Michael Jackson, held on December 20, 2009, in Los Angeles, California. Sadly, no, there is not an Elephant Man skeleton or hyperbaric chamber. DAMMIT.

I think we all know by now that Brittany Murphy has died, due to the massive coverage on every news station, every blog, every web site, every Twitter.

She apparently died of massive cardiac arrest, and since she was only 32, there is mucho speculation going on. Was she a drug addict? Did all that bulimia finally catch up with her? Did she watch one too many “Saved By The Bell” episodes? Did she suddenly realize that her initials are B.M.? Enquiring minds want to know.
I don’t want to sound callous, but seriously, people need to stop losing their shit over …read more

More details are surfacing about Anna Nicole Smith’s final days before her drug-induced death.
In addition to the usual crazy we’ve already heard about (see above), testimony is coming out from the criminal trial involving charges that Smith’s former lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern and two California doctors conspired to illegally provide Smith with controlled substances; such as she couldn’t walk unassisted, couldn’t sit up, and was taking nourishment in a baby’s bottle. A BABY”S BOTTLE.
Of course, I think we can all agree that Howard K. Smith really needs to go to jail for the part he played in this, …read more

A new song was released Sunday night at midnight from Michael Jackson titled “This is It”.
You can listen to it here.
The song was originally recorded with just Michael’s vocals and piano; the background vocals are his brothers, and the extra musical stuff was added in later. Lyrics:
“This is it, here I stand, I’m the light of the world, I feel grand.”
“I never heard a single word about you/Falling in love wasn’t my plan/I never thought that I would be your lover/Come on, please, just understand,” he sings in the chorus.

Suzanne Somers, who is a huge advocate of naturopathic cancer treatment (and is dealing with her own breast cancer that way), has placed herself squarely in the “YES IT’S TOO SOON” file with this newest statement on Patrick Swayze, who just passed like what, three days ago? Sheesh. Here we go:
“They took a beautiful man” and “put poison in his body….”Why couldn’t they have built him up nutritionally and got ten rid of the toxins? . . . I hate to be this controversial . . . but I have to speak out.”
Okay, she’s entitled to her own opinion, but …read more

Patrick Swayze has succumbed to his heroic battle with pancreatic cancer.
Swayze was probably best known for his roles as Johnny in “Dirty Dancing” and of course, the hottie ghost in “Ghost” with Demi Moore. Here’s what his management folks had to say:
“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,”
Here’s a couple videos to remember him by:

LaToya Jackson, sister of the late (doesn’t that sound weird) Michael Jackson, says that he looked absolutely fantastic in his casket at the funeral.
Here’s what she had to say to Barbara Walters on 20/20 last week: his hair and makeup were done “beautifully”, and he was buried with one white glove and a pair of sunglasses, dressed all in white with a wide gold belt (like a prizefighter). LaToya added that she absolutely believes that her brother was murdered (and the coroner’s report backs that up), she blames anyone and everyone who gave him drugs for his death.

Last night the funeral of Michael Jackson finally occurred, with a celebrity studded attendance including Elizabeth Taylor, Macauley Culkin, Al Sharpton, and many more.
Very sad. As the family took their seats, solo piano renditions of some of Michael’s most timeless songs were playing slowly and softly, it was a nice touch. The live feed shut off as soon as the hearse with Michael’s body drew up, which I thought was great because it’s a FUNERAL and seriously, even though he was a huge celebrity, give him and his family some freaking privacy, right?
Here are a couple of videos from …read more

For some reason this really hit me hard today. The Los Angeles coroner has officially ruled the death of Michael Jackson a homicide.

According to sources, the coroner’s toxicology report found lethal levels of propofol, a sedative used in surgeries. Dr. Conrad Murray is the one who gave him this fatal dose, and is now being pursued for manslaughter (wouldn’t it be murder? I don’t know how these things work). His lawyer says that Murray never administered anything that “should have” killed Jackson, and Murray believes that “the truth will prevail”. Well, the coroner has found some pretty hard truths …read more

So Debbie Rowe is out to get me. Know why? Because basically because every day we’re hearing something different: she wants Michael Jackson’s kids, she doesn’t want the kids, oh wait! NOW SHE WANTS THE KIDS. Here’s today’s missive from Crazy Town:
“Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don’t want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them.”
GAH. So tomorrow, I bet you $20 that we’re going to hear that yes, now she wants the kids. Let’s just get this …read more
