The extortion trial dealing with John Travolta son's death
will kick into high gear today when John himself will be called as the first
witness. And it could be what you call "the smoking gun", because there are
expectations of legal dogfight after he is done testifying.
It is full expected that the defense lawyers will put
forward an objection to the introduction of secret videotape that has the
attempted extortion. This is the video that was recorded by authorities in
Bahamas and what you would see are Travolta's lawyers, listening to the
alledged $25 million plan.
Former state senator/attorney Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic
Tarino Lightbourne pretty much threatened to release some documents connected
to Jett's death unless Travolta anted up.
Hmmm.... all can ad is that I am thinking this will turned
out to be more interesting than I originally thought. So - stay tuned!
So far, it's a guy who "allegedly"
robbed her. But there is more information coming out and several people who
worked with her on the movie "Labour Pains" are saying that they definitely saw
Nick Prugo on the set - with Lindsay. And apparently not just once! Nobody
really knows if the guy was at Lindsay's house before the burglary, but does
that really matter? The 18-year old, who was arrested for burglarizing Lindsay's
house has been in trouble before. Latest arrest - cocaine charge earlier this
year. And he is to be back in court on those charges in November. And then -
last month - he was arrested in Beverly Hills
for DUI. And to top this off - according to the police, he is also a suspect in
the Audrina Patridge break-in.
Looks like he will have
his hands full dealing with all that mess - the question is: with all those
charges, how was he out on the street and what's it going to take to keep him
locked up so he learns a lesson or two?
That sometimes crazy and
emotionally charged judge from America's Got Talent needed paramedics and
ambulance to retrieve him from his Encino home on Sunday night.
His daughter Hayley, who is 17
years old ,who was home with David, ended up calling her mother Pamela,
claiming that her dad was extremely drunk. It was one of Pamela's friends who
called 911, sending paramedics to the home. And tha claim must have been
justified, since they took Hasselhoff to the hospital.
The story goes that the hospital
was going to release him Sunday night, but since there are no comments from the
official Hasselhoff camp or his reps - we just don't know how this turned out.
Either way - not a pretty story! Just check out the photo..... the guy
does have a problem I'd say!
So he is
supposedly paying his debt to society.... But it sure looks like being
sentenced to 180 days of hard labour really agrees with the guy!
And why not?
In all the photos floating around, he is either smiling, standing around or
chatting with his guards. And get this: he is not only paying his debt to
society, he is also paying for extra security team to protect him!
On top of
the normal police supervision, he has hired an extra off-duty cops to watch
over him. And since he asked for it, he has to pay for it. How much will it
cost him? If you figure that cops make an average of $28 per hour and Brown has
like 178 days left to serve and if the cops only work 5 hours each day – it will
cost him $25,760.
I would say
that it is ironic - guy convicted of
felony assault is paying so much for protection. And it is interesting that the
extra protection is allowed – maybe the “Shoe is on the other foot” saying
should be enforced. How does it feel to be worried about being hit or worse?
The Michael Jackson homicide
investigation is continuing and the latest news is that the case will be
presented to the LA County District Attorney in 3-4 weeks.
Most of the investigation is now completed and Dr. Conrad
Murray, who administered the deadly doze of Propofol to Michael Jackson remains
the singular target. After getting opinions from a number of medical experts,
LAPD will forward their opinions to the DA. This is supposed to happen in 2-3
weeks and the detectives will take a week to put it all together for a formal
presentation.
The one additional statement from
LAPD is that arrest will not be made before Dr Murray is charged - so I guess
that means coupe of things: he is the only one they are planning to possibly
charge and the other thing is - are they ever going to charge him? He complication
in the whole issue is that Michael Jackson was taking various medications and
that blurs the fact that Propofol was the direct cause of death.
I don't get it - it sounds really
simple: the drug was administered by Dr. Murray who neglected to keep a
watchful eye to make sure "the patient" was OK. Since he acted irresponsibly
and the results was the loss of human life - what's the question here?
Remember his good looks and sympathetic performances in
movies such as Dirty Dancing and Ghost? That devilishly good looking romantic
idol to millions, Patrick Swayze has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on
Monday at the very young age of 57.
It was revealed in early March 2008 that Swayze was suffering
from the disease and was fighting it bravely for the last 20 months. Initially,
he responded well to treatment and was able to star as an undercover FBI agent in
A&E's "The Beast". Barbara Walters interviewed Patrick in January and he
admitted that the work was exhausting but the role felt right for his soul. He
stated that he feels strongly that his work will be his legacy and we couldn't
agree more.
The "Beast was cancelled in June because of his condition
worsened - the cancer has spread to his liver.
He passed away at his home, with his family and left behind
his wife of 30 years Lisa and his mother Patsy.
He burst onto the movie scenes and captured million of fans
in his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle in 1987's "Dirty Dancing". His
beautiful combination of masculinity and amazing grace created the image of
cowboy with a tender heart. He had no fear and in following movies did all his
own stunts - that is why his battle with cancer was so courageous and
dignified.
Patrick became even a bigger star three years later by
starring in "Ghost" with Demi Moore. That role earned him People magazine title
of the "Sexiest Man Alive". And Whoopi Goldberg, who won Oscar for the film
said it the best :" I believe in "Ghost" message, so he'll always be near"
And there is only one thing I can add to that - "Rest in
peace dancing king"
I am sure
you have all heard about this - and some of you probably witnessed it!
Kanye West
invaded the stage, rudely interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the
Best Female Video at the MTC Video Music Awards last night. He objected to
Taylor's video being chosen over Beyonce's Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).
Can you
imagine he actually thought it was OK just to tell Taylor that he will let her
finish and that he is happy for her? Shamelessly claiming that Beyonce had one
of the best videos of all time, he didn't
think for a second just how stupid he looked! The audience basically
reacted with boos and laughter - no doubt laughing at his stupidity!
And to make
him look even more ridiculous, Beyonce actually collected the night's top prize
- Video of the Year later that night! And she met with Taylor backstage - I am
sure she felt bad , but let's face it - she didn't do anything wrong!
Kanye apparently
apologized to Taylor later on - but you know something? You just cannot undo
something like this! He took the spotlight off highly deserving young artist,
ruined a moment that should have been solely hers and the only thing I could
suggest to organizers of any award event: Send a special- Not Invited- note to
the guy! He honestly doesn't deserve the honour of being invited. Just remember
- this is not the first time he has done this!
It has been 3 years since the lovable Kramer - a.k.a. Michael
Richards - opened his mouth a little too much at the Laugh Factory performance.
And he has paid for it with 3 years of slump in his career.
But, now he is smiling all over the place. He was just on
the cover of Entertainment weekly and the next big step is being re-united in a
episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" with his Seinfeld buddies.
Not sure about the details of that episode - but who would
doubt that it will be good?
I kinda have to ask - do you think this will be the final
step from that dark hole he has been in and - are you ready for him to be back?
So it’s
official now – Paula's judging chair is being filled by no other than the awesome
Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen announced it during a taping of her show yesterday,
adding:”No one knows this..... not even Tony - I am going to be the new judge
on American Idol” And this announcement was immediately followed by thunderous
applause from the audience.
Seing it
written like this, you might think that it is leading up to a joke. But no –
this is real, she really will be the new addition to American Idol judging panel.
And she adds to it that she loves reality shows, has watched every single Idol
show and most important – and totally believable is her comment that she will
be representing “peoples” points of view and opinions, because she will not be
looking at the technical stuff. Her judging comments and decision will be
coming from someone who loves music and would buy the CD’s – makes sense? You
bet!
The lady
is good – she is quick, smart and extremely popular. Some may think that
sitting on the Idol judging panel may lower her popularity and her overall
appeal - but – nah! I think it will do exactly the opposite – agree?
And what
about Paula? The “Dancing with the Stars” is not going to happen, but she is
still talking with ABC about her own show. Apparently, they are tossing around
the idea of her own variety style show or a talent competition, where Paula
would be like Simon Cowell. Really? Can she wear T-shirts as well as he does?
This guy just doesn’t stop doing
stupid things and making stupid statements! I am totally disgusted with this selfish,
ridiculous man! In yet another interview this week, Jon Gosselin firmly states
that he loves his current ditsy girlfriend more than he ever loved Kate! That
is definitely a pathetic attempt to do something about his present image,
because all that is doingis ruining it
further and making him a total dirtbag!
He says that his 22 year old
bimbo girlfriend Hailey Glassman is apparently total opposite of Kate and is
his total “soul mate”. She understand him and supports him.....
Hey you idiot – how can even
remotely compare her to the mother of your children and your wife for 10 years?
Oh – maybe it’s because she will let you go out and screw around and ignore
your responsibilities – i.e – your children? And do that with a smile and
understanding? Just exactly what planet are you from? Most certainly not the
one America’s favourite dads come from!
Michael
Jackson's influence is getting more and more prominent and I expect it will
just keep going on and on.
Now it
has caused a upward shift in the cemetery world - the prices of graves near his
tomb are sky-rocketing! According to a rep from the Forest Lawn Memorial Park
in Glendale, plots near Michael's final resting place have already gone up
$2,000 - $3,000 each. Originally, the cemetery was selling the plots nearby for
$7,000 each - now they are up to $9,900. And some people who already own lots
near MJ's crypt are about to get a nice payday - apparently one person, who own
a private crypt there is now asking $34,000 for a double unit inside the
mausoleum.
Asking
is one thing - actually getting it is quite another. But - according to the
owner - the response was tremendous and they are weighting all their options.
Well -
there you go - you can consider that a good in investment I guess.....
