Michael Jackson’s Last Days Unmasked in New Book
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Rumors,
“If you think you know everything there is to know about Michael Jackson, you’re wrong.” These were the words of Jennifer Bergstrom, vice president of Simon Spotlight Entertainment. This is the company that’s behind Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson.
The man hasn’t been buried yet, and already there’s a new book on the way. Bergstrom’s comments continue, “Startling new information…will make this book the definitive biography of the most iconic performer of our time.”
You see, the publishing industry can’t afford to waste any time - many more authors are no doubt writing furiously this very moment. Author Ian Halperin is behind this particular book, which is scheduled for publication in July. This is surely only the start of an industry cavalcade that will include many more volumes about the life and times of the King of Pop.

The Details of Michael Jackson’s Will
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
UPDATE: Entertainment Tonight has released the full contents of Michael Jackson’s will. In it, the King of Pop names mom Katherine as the primary caregiver for his kids. In case grandma can’t rise to the challenge, Jackson names longtime friend Diana Ross as the second choice to mother his brood of three. Jackson also states that he intentionally did not include Debbie Rowe (mother to at least two of the Jackson tots) in the document.
Despite claims made by Joe and Katherine Jackson that their son Michael died without a will, one has miraculously come to light. The Wall Street Journal has reported on the information this document contains…and things don’t look so great for dad Joe Jackson.
According to WSJ, the will divides most of Michael Jackson’s assets between his three kids, mom Katherine Jackson and one or more charities. Dad Joe isn’t mentioned and doesn’t stand to inherit a thing from the King of Pop.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Videos, Obituaries,
For three sets of family, friends and huge contingents of fans, June 25 will be remembered as the beginning of a very dark time. In only three days, the lives of three very large personalities were cut short. The trio of tragedies will mark change in thee industries: music, advertising and television. That all of them passed at relatively young ages by our standards, and all went so quickly, has left those of us who remain in shock.
But these larger-than-life personalities are big enough to shine even once the lights are dimmed, even beyond the cold chill of death.

Jackson Family Meets with LAPD
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Obituaries, Rumors,
As reported earlier, there are still some questions surrounding the untimely death of recording legend Michael Jackson. TMZ is reporting that Katherine, Joe and “several brothers” met with police officers at the pop star’s home earlier today.
The site says that both sides wanted the meeting - the family to learn more about Jackson’s death, the police to gain information that might help them determine the cause of the crooner’s fatal cardiac arrest. This meeting ended the same day.
TMZ has also reported that Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s physician, sent a letter to his patients less than two weeks ago. In the letter, the doctor informed them he would be leaving his medical practice. “I am deeply saddened to leave you at this point, but please know my absence is not permanent,” the letter reads.
ET has posted a picture of Michael Jackson as he was being treated by paramedics - the last-known photograph taken of the singer during his life. Michael Jackson was 50 at the time of his death Thursday afternoon. The “King of Pop,” he enjoyed extreme success in the music industry, with a career that spanned four decades.

Emma Watson Fronts Burberry’s Fall/Winter ‘09 Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Clothing, Fashion Police, Style, Photos,
While Miley Cyrus convinces Max Azria to do a line for Wal-Mart, Emma Watson is receiving praise in the fashion world for her work in Burberry’s Fall/Winter ‘09 campaign.
Not unlike the British fashion house’s ad campaigns in the past, the Harry Potter starlet shows off signature Burberry bags and trench coats alongside models Tom Guinness Taylor and Charlie France (who surprisingly do a great job at making her look much older than 19).
As I am a fan of hers, I’m clearly inclined to give her a thumbs-up. After all, she’s been a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld for some time. That’s basically a golden pass for approval in the fashion world, no?
More pictures after the jump!

Candy Spelling Fires Another Shot in Family Feud
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
Just when you thought the media gossip was drying down, Spelling matriarch Candy has fired another bullet in her media back-and-forth with daughter Tori. All of this, mind you, is part of Candy Spelling’s book promotion - or, so I suspect.
Spelling conducted a radio interview, purportedly to tout her Stories From Candyland, and ended up dragging Tori Spelling through the proverbial mud. “My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years.”
Sure, that’s not the nicest thing to say…but Candy wasn’t done by a long shot. “That’s what killed my husband, actually,” she continued, referring to TV mogul Aaron Spelling. “He just didn’t want to live after that.” Spelling passed away in June of 2006, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Candy.

Dear Tori: Candy Spelling Reaches Out
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
Tori Spelling says there’s no feud between she and mother Candy Spelling, the widow to Aaron and the matriarch of the Spelling clan. But their little back-and-forth game with the press seems to suggest there’s certainly something brewing, and some of it’s called damn good PR.
Could it possibly be a coincidence that Tori’s new book, which came out this week, also comes right on the heels of a well-publicized press battle between mom and offspring? First, Candy Spelling spoke in an interview with People about her off-again relationship with daughter Tori, saying she’d been cut out of the family.
Tori Spelling fired back in her own interview with People, saying there’s no feud and no friction between herself and her mother. She neatly put the ball in Candy’s court, saying “if she would love to see her grandchildren, she should really make an effort to reach out and see them.”

Tori Spelling Denies Feud
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
“There’s no feud,” Tori Spelling recently spoke out on the mother-daughter feud which has been brewing in the headlines. “We simply never meshed,” Tori says of herself and her mother Candy Spelling, Aaron Spelling’s widow.
“I love my mother. I’ve always loved her,” Tori neatly dismissed claims that a feud brews in the House of Spelling. “It’s not like we’re not talking, we just haven’t talked.” Spelling spoke recently to People magazine to set the record straight.

Spelling Matriarch to Sell Manor
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
The Candy-Tori Spelling feud actually began prior to the death of Aaron Spelling, but the gap between mother and daughter has grown wider over time. Now, Candy Spelling (Aaron’s widow, Tori’s mom) is selling the Spelling Manor. It’s on the market for a whopping $150 million.
“If I had any hope that I would have a relationship with my grandchildren, I would never sell this house,” Spelling told the press, when she announced her decision to move from the famed mansion to a $47 million condo. Spelling Manor is 56,000 square feet. The new condo? A mere 17,000 - roughly, the size of the attic at the Manor. “I’ve fantasized for years about a wonderful playhouse on the grounds for children,” Spelling waxed poetic.
But such a thing, evidently, is not meant to be.

Lindsay Lohan’s Fans Holding Her Back?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?,
Lindsay Lohan, who hasn’t had a single acting gig since the ill-fated I Know Who Killed Me, says it’s all your fault that she’s not working. And you’d better help her out quickly, because she’s having trouble paying her mortgage and handling her bills. Evidently, even Disney paychecks only stretch so far.
“If people would just leave my personal life alone - because, it’s really not that interesting - then I could land a great role,” Linds recently explained to E! “But, all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting.”
Someone please explain to Miss Lohan that it’s called press - and nobody ever earned or maintained a spec of stardom without it.
“I just want to live the dream that I’ve worked so hard for since I was four years old. I’ve been through a lot in my life. And there are many things I’d like to do to let people know that they just have to be strong,” Lohan said…before she continued to whine about how troubling it is to deal with the press she gets.
