Michael Jackson’s memorial service is currently underway. It is seemingly going smoothly. The LAPD expected a mob scene and that was not the case today as was reported on most media outlets. They encouraged people to stay home because security would be so unbelievably tight and would be more beneficial to watch from home. So far, Smokey Robinson opened the ceremony speaking on behalf of himself,... 

Katherine Jackson was denied control over her late son’s estate–at least for the next month. The estate is in the hands of Jackson’s longtime attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain. Jackson specified in his 2002 will that Branca and McClain be executors of the will. Jackson’s mother has expressed concern and objections over the financial leadership of the two.  Among... 

Looks like Kevin Jonas will be swapping his chastity band for a wedding band. The 21-year-old JoBro is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa. Sigh. I’m sure I just ruined the days of so many girls whose hearts are breaking now that the oldest Jonas is off the market. But hey, there’s still two left. Parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. made it official releasing this statement:... 

Today Michael Jackson’s will was filed in a Los Angeles court that gave the entirety of his estate to the Jackson Family Trust. A big deal is being made that his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, was left completely out of the will. This should be no big surprise. Jackson paid her off to be out of his and their children’s lives. To me, and maybe it’s just me, but it’s a no-brainer.   I...

Reports of the will, which was drafted in 2002, come a day after Joe and Katherine Jackson sought to gain control...

When they arrived at the scene, Jackson was not breathing and was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. at the UCLA Medical Center.

Jessica Simpson is headed back to reality TV and no, it’s not Jessica and Tony: Cowboy Love (I couldn’t think of a lamer title). The former pop star-turned failed country singer-failed actress will be starring in a reality show for VH1 called The Price of Beauty. The show will showcase Simpson traveling across the globe to view beauty in different cultures. According to the press release...

Brown will put in five years of probation, enroll in an anti-domestic violence program, perform 180 days of community service and must have all travel okayed by a probation officer.  Brown appeared in a Los Angeles court this afternoon... 

Yeah, that’s right … puppy-dog cute David Archuleta’s dad is making news today for something other than being a control-freak stage dad. James Archuleta pleaded no contest to charges of soliciting a prostitute. The 47-year-old was cited by undercover cops back in January at Queens Reiki “massage parlor.” The undercover officers shut down the establishment after they found...
