Usher: The Kid Is Not My Son

57596512usher629200934326pm It looks like the divorce between Usher and Tameka Foster is going to go down in history as your typical, hideous blood bath. According to the National Enquirer, Usher has requested a DNA test for the younger son that he had allegedly fathered with Foster.  According to one of those pesky "unnamed source" people, Usher believed that Tameka was cheating during the time that the child was conceived.  Also, he travelled quite a bit for work, leaving little time for procreation. Sigh....

Rowe Denies Interview

4873201debbierowe629200913131pm This weekend Kelly gave us all the details of an interview Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe granted to News of the World.  Well, NOTWis confused or doesn't know what to do when they aren't writing about Amy Winehouse because, according to Debbie Rowe, this one-on-one chit-chat never happened. To recap:  Debbie didn't say that Michael wasn't the biological father of their kids, she didn't say that she didn't want custody of the kids, and she didn't say that the two never had sex.  As a matter of fact, it's like the articl...

Apparently You All Went To The Movies This Weekend

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a huge opening -- huge.  Over five days, it pulled in $387.3M worldwide and $201M domestically.  It has now clinched second place of best movie five-day gross tally, only eclipsed by Dark Knight. Over the weekend, Transformers pulled in $112M with The Proposal and The Hangover rounding out the top three movies earning $18M and $17M, respectively. The only other movie that opened this weekend, and how unfortunate to have to open up against any testosterone flick like Transformers, was the ever-depressing My Sister's Keeper which earned $12M. />Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a huge opening -- huge.  Over five days, it pulled in $387.3M worldwide and $201M domestically.  It has now clinched second place of best movie five-day gross tally, only eclipsed by Dark Knight.

Eddie Van Halen Ties The Knot

80417d1_van_halen_e_b_gr_06evilbeetgossip Let's celebrate some happy news!  This weekend, Eddie Van Halen put on his best flip-flops and married his girlfriend of three years, Janie Liszewski. The couple served non-alcoholic drinks as a nod to Eddie's 18 months of sobriety and also had offerings such as mini-corn dogs and wax lips on the menu.  Wax Lips on the Menu -- if that isn't a song title, I don't know what is. One hundred guests attended, including Van Halen's ex-wife, Valerie Bertinelli and their son Wolfgang who served as best man. Best of luck to Eddie and his new bride!...

And You Thought I Was Disrespectful To The Dead?

Many of you didn't appreciate my Heeeeeeerrrrreeeee’s Heaven! post about Ed McMahon -- and I maintain that it was a stroke of comedic whimsy -- but at least I didn't slap on some Jheri curl, dress up like Michael Jackson, and moonwalk onto stage the way Jamie Foxx did on the BET Awards last night.  Tacky and disrespectful, right? Also, in a time where we are trying to all come together, Jamie Foxx speaks of MJ as someone who belonged to "us" -- the African American community -- and that they decided to share him with everyone els...

Joe Jackson at BET Awards: Doing Fine, Plugs New Company

 You just can't judge how people deal with their grief, I guess.  Joe Jackson, father of Michael, appeared at the BET Awards last night and was happy to let everyone know that the Jackson family is doing fine -- great, actually.  This CNN interview reminded me of one of those old SNL skits.  My modern-day re-write: CNN:  "Joe, I know the past few days have been tough."    Joe:    "Uh?  Tough.  Yeah, tough.  That's the ticket!" CNN:  "The circumstances surrounding Mich...

Vintage Michael Jackson and Brit!

I watched this video about a year ago and I was thinking how sad it was to watch video of Brit back when she was really on top of her game.  I remember thinking she was too far gone. Now she's on her way back and Michael is gone.  It's surreal....

Britney Spears Goes Shopping, Looks Good, Has Stupid Boots

Britney Spears Britney Spears went shopping in Beverly Hills today.  Um, isn't it summertime in California?  It isn't in Massachusetts but I'm pretty sure it's not snowing on the west coast, so please help me to understand why she's wearing winter boots.  Is this some sort of updated Ugg (I like to call them Ughs) thing? Anyway, Brit looks great.  In shape, very blonde, very tan.  Have you ever noticed that if you look close enough you can find a mark or stain in almost every candid, on-the street p...

Michael Jackson Autopsy Report

16853419michaeljackson626200942905pm The L.A. County Coroner's office has performed an autopsy on the body of Michael Jackson.  The results came back as inconclusive.  Foul play was ruled out and further toxicology testing is needed.  Those results will take four to six weeks. As if there was any sneaking suspicion that Jackson's death wasn't somehow quickened by the abuse of prescription drugs, TMZ dug up a lawsuit from 2007 in which a pharmacy named Michael Jackson for not paying his bill which amounted to $101,926.66.  That's a lot of aspirin....

Quotables

16853694elizabethtaylor626200944202pm "My heart ... my mind ... are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It can't be so. He will live in my heart forever but it's not enough. My life feels so empty. I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I've ever know...

Jon Gosselin: Naked Finger

Jon Gosselin See what happens when a major superstar (or two!) dies?  The media is completely flooded with Michael Jackson "Could It Have Been Drugs?" stories, that little else gets reported.  This is what I've been reduced to -- stalking the Gosselin's mail. So, the big story today is that Jon Gosselin got a package from Olive Kids (cuter, personalized things as seen before on J&K+8) delivered via UPS and he -- gasp! -- wasn't wearing his wedding band.  I guess this means it's officially over.  The al...

Fergie’s Dad Thinks Her Music Sucks

57746661fergie626200940019pm Apparently that blogger isn't the first person to tell Fergie her music blows.  Back in 2006 when Fergie was releasing her first solo effort, Fergie's father Patrick told her it was "The worst song that he'd ever heard in his life."  Her reply?  "(I said) 'Dad, I respect that, but I hope you're wrong, because it's my first single.'" It seems he was wrong.  The album, The Dutchess, sold over 6 million copies.  Way to be supportive, Dad! ...
