I have a new column for the Examiner.com: I am now the Chicago Cable TV Examiner!
If you know anything about me, you know that I love TV. I love TV more than movies, music, and all the other pop art stuff you can imagine. So be on the lookout for articles that I would normally post here to be posted on this site.
I am super excited!

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty obsessed with Michael Jackson coverage. I have been hooked on CNN, watched his E! True Hollywood (which was chillingly excellent), caught some of the Jacksons movie, and have researched his life and death on the Internet like it's my damn job. I came across a few informative pieces that I thought might be useful to share:
On the 1993 molestation charges. I was 10 years old when this story broke, so I didn't know what to believe. This Wikipedia piece, if accuarte, was extremely informative in detailing the events leading to the case and the consequences.
On his vitiligo. This blog asesses his skin pigmentation disease and whether he's telling the truth about it.
The history of his face. All I can think is Michael Jackson's face is the real-life picture of Dorian Gray.

Lisa Marie's Words on Michael from her MySpace Page
http://blogs.myspace.com/lisamariepresley
"Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.
I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.
Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Michael Jackson
What's there to say that hasn't already been said about MJ's untimely passing?
I agree with a lot of what has been said. He was a musical icon. He redefined pop music. He was like an Elvis of our time.
Here is what some of his celebrity comrades are saying:
Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Lisa Marie Presley: "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me."
Corey Feldman: "I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend. Unfortunately Michael and I had a falling out on September 10th 2001 and that broken friendship had never been repaired … I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse. All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again. I am truly, and deeply sorry for all of the heartbroken fans and supporters worldwide."
Brooke Shields: "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."
Quincy Jones: "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words."
Elizabeth Taylor, his best friend for at least part of his life, has not released a statement yet, presumably overcome with grief.
He had 13 number one hits during his solo career. He is survived by his three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
When I think of Michael, I often think of little Michael of the Jackson 5 dancing and singing to some of my favorite songs like "I'll Be There" and "I Want You Back." Then I think of him as the one-gloved wonder, showcasing the moonwalk to "Billie Jean" on the Mowntown 25th Anniversary. Everyone has their memories on his indelible mark on pop cluture.

The Speidi-Al Roker Inteview and EARTH-SHATTERING POTENTIAL HOOKUP NEWS
Have you been Watching I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here? Did you stop watching after Speidi left? Well, if you did--BIG MISTAKE. Because we have potentially the biggest, earth-shattering hookup that reality TV has ever come across!!!
*SPOLIER ALERT*
Sanjaya and Holly Montag.
They have been spotted on camera admitting crushes on each other, rubbing each other's backs, and sleeping in hammocks right next to each other. NO WAY did I think this hookup could happen, but oddly, enough my man predicted it as soon as they laid eyes on each other. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but whatever, cuz this potential hookup is hott!!! Spencer is going to be so jealous of all the press Holly-Sanjaya will get, he'll probably get a fake divorce or something.
BTW, check out this inteview Speidi has with Al Roker. He has SUCH hilarious disdain for them.

Other News I've Been Meaning to Get To
So I bought Emimem's new CD. CLEARLY, I am still stuck in the early millenia/my college years with my taste in music. I wanted to write a proper review but then I realized you could condense the review in, like, 1 sentence. Still a killer lyricist but besides "We Made You" nothing really worth releasing as a single.
Also, have you seen this new poster to New Moon? Now you still a fan of the vampire over the werewolf?

Britney News for the Day
It's official. Britney is coming back to tour in the states and she has a boyfriend.
I'm not sure which news I'm more excited about. Normally, I would be far more pumped for her tour, but I've already seen her "live" and given her mediocre reviews. On the other hand, BSpears has not had a boyfriend in forever and you know having a mister in her life is the only thing that's gonna put a sparkle in her step. And we need more sparkle on the next tour.
She is dating her agent Jason Trawick. Apparently Daddy Spears approves. She will be in Chicago at Allstate on September 9. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 19th.

The Beautiful Peacock Had His Crown Stolen from the Wren
Kris Allen stole Adam Lambert's crown.
I think the world did collectively gasp as Ryan announced Kris's name as the winner.
Although I wasn't a Glambot, I DEFINITLEY felt he should have won. Glambert is infinitely more entertaining than the sweet but boring Kris Allen. See, Kris doesn't even have a nickname. No, Kris just wasn't for me. The only performance that made me squeal was his Man in The Mirror one where he bounced around the stage, licked his lips, and closed his eyes a lot. The rest of the guitar-playing, side mouth singing stuff just wasn't for me. Glambert, on the other hand, killed the entire show perfomance after performance with his beautiful peacock performances mixed in with a whole lotta glam rock.
So why do you think Adam lost? Was there too much steam for him all season that he lost it from the audience? Or did Middle America lamely chicken out with potentially having a most-likely gay American Idol?
In the end, Adam will put out some pyschedelic shit on his new album whereas Kris will be stuck singing the Kara DioGuardi penned song "No Boundaries." The mountains, the hurricanes...

Kara DiGi is Staying on Idol
...according to Simon Cowell while taping for The Ellen Degeneres Show.
I was pretty sure they wouldn't just use her for a season and get rid of her. It's embarrasing on behalf of Idol.
Paula still hasn't re-signed her contract.

Should American Idol Keep the 4 Judges?
According to this article, http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/tvguidecom-readers-get-rid-of-kara--292, 60% of you think Kara DioGuardi should leave Idol.
Here is what I think based on the article: Because Simon's contract ends after 2010's season and has stated that he is likely to leave, then we should keep the 4-judge lineup as it is for next season ONLY. Once/if Simon leaves, American Idol should reasess the 3 judges, Randy, Paula, and Kara, and decide who among them should stay but still ONLY keep it a 3-judge lineup. There is just not enough time for any of them to talk with the 4 judges. I personally think they should only keep 1 of 3 remaining judges; and I'm leaning towards Randy or Paula.

This Week's American Idol Theme
Supposedly the theme is rock music, and Slash of Guns N'Roses is mentoring. Um, OK? I think this will totally be Allison and Adam's week. Could we see Allison in the finals?

Britney Spears' Circus Concert at Allstate in Chicago
The Britney Spears' Circus concert was on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Allstate Arena and we went on Tuesday. We were immediately told that this was a soldout show and to make sure we sat in the right seat number! Ah yes, was it packed. Packed with teenager girls, 20-something girls, moms, a few eager male fans, and fewer devoted boyfriends.
The Pussycat Dolls performed first, and I could have sworn Nicole (the lead diva of the group) was singing live during most of the concert! You go girl! The same cannot be said for Britney.
I knew not to expect Britney Jean Spears to sing live for most of the concert, but she did not sing ONE NOTE live. I'm fine with that as long as our pop diva is ready to amaze us with her manic dancing, as memorably exhibited at this 2000 VMA performance. But there was maybe 10 minutes of the entire show that we saw her impressive dance skills, and the rest was her posing, walking strongly, or being caressed. I understand she's not 17 anymore, so she's not going to be the exact same sure-footed little minx we grew up with, but I was a bit disappointed to not see her showcase her pop divaness. Yes folks, Britney has lost some of performance magic. She seems a little empty to me. But here's the thing: Britney has made one helluva turnaround in the past year. If we give her 1 more year, she might come back full circle.
Was I entertained during the show? Yes, absolutley! The song set was AMAZING. We heard ALL of our favorites from the past 10 years (Toxic, Everytime, Break the Ice, Piece of Me...), and the segues between songs were perfect. The audience was on its feet the entire time; so many of us were moving to the music with smiles plastered on our faces. And the arena erupted in pure joy when Baby One More Time began to play.
I sat in the upper section with an unobstructed view. At one point, I was offered a ticket to SIT IN THE LOWER SECTION because someone didn't show. I really wanted to, you know, for important editorial purposes, but I did the right thing I stayed with my dear BF so we could enjoy the show togther.
I'm glad I got to see Britney, and I was pleased with the show. I just wish Britney can continue to improve so we can fall in love with her performances all over again.

What the hell are The Hills without Lauren?
So The Hills has signed on for another season even though Lauren won't be on it. The rest of the gang will continue. I'm sure it won't stink completely, but it will probably will be as good as 90210 was without Brenda. Yea, 90210 definitley sucked more without Brenda.
Get ready for more fake relationship trouble between Speidi, nosiness and trouble-making from Stepanie, and blank stares of conflict over JB with Audrina!

Are Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner Dating?
That's the rumor.
I think Selena is a sweetie and they would be the cutest couple EVER, but I'm not gonna lie: my dear old woman's heart always break a little when I hear dating rumors about Taylor. Ladies, go and have your vampire Rob Pattinson, I want my werewolf!
*Update. I found out Tay-tay is only 16. This I cannot deal with. Back to Cedric Diggory it is.*

Susan Boyle:No More Loneliness?
Susan Boyle tells Larry King that she expects one thing to be true about her sudden fame:
"I won't be lonely any more."
AWWWWWW! Bless her, I hope that is true.
I'm really not sure why I'm feeling motherly towards a 47-year-old. Why are we so invested in this woman? I know I'm not the only one.

The Hills Premiere
Pretty bitchin' premiere of The Hills last night! The Heidi-Lauren reconciliation went like this...
Stephanie Pratt couldn't mind her own buisness and basically invited Heidi to Lauren's birthday party. She also failed to mention to Lauren that Heidi was showing up, so that was pretty rude. Spencer finds out the "queen biy-otch" was going to be out with Heidi that night, so he decides to have a boys night (with his one male friend) and flirt with the cute bartender. Cameron, Stephanie's ex, is at the same bar and decides to give Spencer some payback for being the a$$ that he is and texts Stephanie saying Spencer is being sleay with the bartender. Spencer flips, punches Cameron, while Heidi is flippin' like the crazy co-dependent relationship lady she is about this bartender and fight.Well Lauren, despite not needing Heidi and her dramz at this party (and her life), feels some sympathy and hugs her and both ladies get a little emotional.
The next day...
Heidi went nuts and actually confronted this bartender about the flirting. Then she told Spencer what she thought (disrespect) and went home to mom and Colorado. Because Spencer has no friends, he invites Brody out for some advice. It wasn't bad advice, he was just saying what we all think that those 2; they are too co-dependent on each other and need lives outside of each other. In the meantime, Lauren rightly tells Stephanie to QUIT FORCING HEIDI ON HER...because c'mon now. Their friendship is so 2006.
All in all, these episodes were AWE-some compared to the snoozefest of last season!

La Loca Lohan Confirms Split with Sam!
Lindsay Lohan, the once respected actress of The Parent Trap and Mean Girls fame has this to say: "I'm taking a break from Sam to focus on myself."
Do you think by "focus" she means on focusing on regaining her now defunct acting career or focusing on hooking up with boyz again?
I'm just asking, people. Personally, I enjoy a comeback and enjoyed wathcing Mean Girls last night on ABC Family, so here's hoping she pulls a Britney.

That's It, Not Following Speidi on Twitter Anymore: Barfworthy Quotes to MTV News
Heidi on Lauren's departure from The Hills:
"We don't need her. "We'll miss her. I just don't know if we need her."
Uh, right. As if you and Spencer are likeable enough to watch without the dramz you create with Lauren?
Spencer on Lady Gaga:
"I can't get over that she is a huge pop icon of the world. People are acting like she's the new Britney Spears ... I don't know even why this girl gets so much attention and press. I guess if you dress like a fool and have crazy, ridiculous haircuts, people start paying attention."
Fine, have that opinion, but then he has this to say:
"People are calling Lady Gaga the pop princess, [so] what's Heidi - the pop queen?"
Asked to name five artists Heidi is more talented than: Pratt said,
"Madonna,Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera."
I don't think that's even the loving boyfriend card. That's the delusional, "let's create some buzz" card.
Wait, that's what they're trying to do! Silly me for paying attention.

Shocking 90210 News! A Major Cast Member is Being Demoted!
Unfortunately, it's not Shenae Grimes.
It's the affable but bad actor Dustin Mulligan, who plays Ethan.
An insider tells Micheal Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly, that his "character has run its course" and that he will appearing in limited episodes.
Kind of surprising and sad. I mean, this guy is definitley not a great actor, but in comparsion to co-star Shenae-nay, he's freakin' Marlon Brando.
I wish him the best of luck.

Ma Cutie-Poo Pharrell Williams Tries to Dance for a Big Mac
Pharrall ain't frontin'.

So Stinkin' Cute Together!! LC and Kyle
I love Lauren Conrad's boyfriend. In fact, I have loved him ever since the awesome but unfortunately cancelled show, Grosse Point Blank , where he played a dude in love with a Tori Spelling-type character.(back in the day on the WB). And I now I cannot wait to catch her show The Hills (next Monday) and his show, My Boys, (next Tuesday) for their season premieres!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Octo-Mom has 3 Reports Filed Against Her to CPS
...by Angels in Waiting, the free child care service that was provided to her.
Burn! This lady is going to have some serious trust issues.
Suleman explained her side: "The primary issue was that myself [sic] and my nannies felt extremely uncomfortable. I personally felt like a stranger in my own home. The goal was to empower me as a mother, help me, train me. I'm open to that, I want that, I want to do the very best for these premature babies. I wanted them to use their training and knowledge to help guide me. I felt that was never accomplished. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the babies, feed the babies, they would be observing and they were waiting for me to make a mistake."

Alexis Grace Leaves Idol!!
An original contender for the show, Alexis Grace was booted off from Idol while the far less talented Michael Sarver and the weird teenager with a big voice Alison Iraheta stayed.
Guess this disputes this theory huh?
Kind of surprised the judges didn't save her! Oh, who am I kidding--they're waiting for Judge Pets Danny and Adam to be in the bottom to do anything.

OMG! Lindsay Lohan's Mom from The Parent Trap Was Critically Injured!
Sad, sad news for Natasha Richardson's family and her husband Liam Neeson.
The lovely Natasha (who I loved, loved in The Parent Trap remake) was critically injured (and is reportedly braindead now) while skiiing in Canada...on a beginner's course, reportedly.
Our prayers to the family.

John Mayer Still Unable to Keep His Feelings Away From the Public
He twitterd about how Ernest Hemingway used to claim how using a 6-word story can describe one's life. John Mayer's story:
"This heart didn't come with instructions."
Mmm-hmm. Tell us how you really feel. No really, we're not used to this vagueness. Like the first time you and Jenny broke up and you held a press conference telling us all how you broke up someone because because you didn't feel like wasting anyone's time. Chivalrous.

Misha Barton Won't Be Cast on The New Melrose Place, But She Will Be on a New Show
And that show will also be on the CW; it's produced by Ashton Kutcher and called The Beautiful Life (?).
She will be playing an ex-supermodel who is trying to regain her career.
Stunt casting indeed.

John and Jenny Break Up Again
According to People magazine, which doesn't usually lie.
Supposedly, he broke up with her over "disagreements" after she returned from Europe.
So she used him as an Oscar date and he used her for publcity.
Gotcha.
(Yeah, that's right I'm using old school pics.)
Shorties
Bristol Palin and babydaddy Levi broke up; Madonna showed up to Brtney's concert in NYC, using the main stairs (most likely for publicity); and Kourtney Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Scott Disick showed up to a party with ex-Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavalleri.
Does Anyone Think the Idol Judges "Save" Rule is Really Stupid?
Well, maybe, not stupid so much as "anticlimactic" and "power-hungry."
To sum it up: The Idol judges, after being presented with the person who has the lowest amount of votes who then performs one more time, are able to save that person from being eliminated that night so he or she can compete again next week, while no one is eliminated on that night. The judges are only to use the save once for the entire season, and I think they must use before the Top 5.
Jorge and Jasmine were the bottom vote-getters last night, so then they had to nervously perform while the judges pretended to discuss their fate. We all knew they were not going to be saved, so we had to wait for the foregone conclusion. It made it all very awkward.
All the changes the show has invested in this year, have been pretty lame. Useless 4th judge, weird wild card round, this clumsy maneuver...
At least the contestants are great this year.

Your Top 13
Wasn't last night's Idol kick-ass? Of course due in part because of the talent of the singers, but also majorly because of Michael Jackson's songbook, yeah?
Lil: I do like this Mom. She has a likable personality and that big voice, and although I do think she sounds like a copycat of a few other R&B singers, I always notice a hint of her accent (whether it's a Memphis one or a Lil' one in her voice). Wish she didn't sing The Way You Make Feel (or as she sang, "Feelin'"), but it was a'ight, dawg.
Scott: Blind guy! Nice guy! Talented piano player! Hot brother walks him out! Pleasing James Taylor voice! Too boring for the show?
Alison: The resident weird chick. Don't get me wrong, I'll take weird over beaty queen polished types any day. Great voice, good stage presence.
Jasmine: Resident beatuy queen. The little lady is poised, and she didn't butcher I'll Be There. OK.
Kris: Resident cutie. Resident talented cutie. Resident talented cutie with a cute wife. Simon is right; he probably shouldn't have had most of his intro being about his wife. I remember I used to have a crush on Chris Richardson of a prior season, and then my crush JUST STOPPED as soon as I saw him leaving a club with Lauren Conrad. Dunno if I was stupidly jealous or whether I labeled him as a star fucker at that moment, but you know how immature girls can be sometimes. And immature girls are the type to vote on this show.
Anoop: Well they really beat him up for singing Beat Up, huh? Do you really think it was that bad? I didn't at all. Say what you will about its karaokeiness, that Anoop has a great tone to his voice and is super pleasant.
Megan Joy: LOVE this girl. LOVE that performance. She isn't just the beauty this season; she's enchantingly interesting. Who else would make singing Rockin' Robin so watchable? I love this lady, but I'm not sure what America likes the quality of her voice...
Jorge: Poor Jorge is so sweet with so much heart, but I think America no longer wants a balladeer type, right?
Danny: Well, duh, he's amazing. The dancing was strange. But he is amazing.
Micheal: The oil rigger has a lot of heart, but I'm just not sure he's as talented or polished as everyone else.
Matt: He does a good job being the soul singer, I'll give him that. Is he likable?
Alexis: Alexis closed the night by oversinging and looking plain-faced during judges' critques. She's a soulful little minx (so tiny which such tiny clothing!), but I'm not sure yet if she's the next Kelly Clarkson like Simon mused last time out she sang.
Adam: Wow. the beautiful drama queen killed it last night. Singing Black or White, he emulated confidence, heart, rhythm, and a whole lot of stage presence. I wasn't tearing up like Paula, but last night he sang a message and bowled us over with a performance that was anything but karoake. I don't think someone like Adam would have worked say, season 2, but welcome to 2009 baby! We are lovin' it.
I don't even want to guess who's leaving; I enjoyed last night that much.
Lil: I do like this Mom. She has a likable personality and that big voice, and although I do think she sounds like a copycat of a few other R&B singers, I always notice a hint of her accent (whether it's a Memphis one or a Lil' one in her voice).

Gossip Girl Spoilers: The Chuck and Blair Edition
Gossip Girl has not been airing new episodes for, what, a month (?!), so let's discuss what we are to expect.
Per eonline.com's Kritin Dos Santos...
First: Chuck's storyline with Elle (Nikki Stevens from The L Word): Chuck apparently gets quite smitten with her and is involved in a major web of lies and deceit. Boring!
Chuck-Blair-Nate: Nate notices Blair and Chuck's bond, becomes insecure, and asks Blair to move in with him. But, Chuck and Blair do team up with each other again because Serena has gotten herself into some Anne Hathaway-convict-boyfriend trouble...

Now check this out: They're carrying her partner's embryo.
Talk about progressive!

The L Word Series Finale
We said goodbye to an old, dependable friend last night. For the past 6 years, we have counted on this show to be bring the intrigue, the sexiness, the glamour, the social responsibility, and the crazy. This short season has seemed, more or less, to be the tying of loose ends while still making sure we are lambasted with its never-ending source of controversial topics (Pregnant Man! Birth Mother Leaves Bette and Tina! Possible Alice-Tasha-Jamie Threesome! Kit Dates a Cross-Dresser! Jenny Steals Alice's Screenplay! Jenny Loves Shane! Jenny's Death!).
So we never found out who killed Jenny--or who stole the negatives of Lez Girls! All we knew in the end was everyone had a reason to be mad at her, and some of the girls were hoping to make peace with her...if just for 1 night. Now that the show is over, I don't think we will ever find out who killed Jenny (unless it will be revealed in Alice's prison-set spin-off). Personally, I think she jumped in the pool herself (or maybe Sounder the Pomeranian somehow contributed to her death? He did suspiciously reappear this episode.) No matter. Bette and Tina seem well on their way to New York, Helena is still rich, Shane will move on from it all as she does, Max is still suspiciously Preganant Man with THAT annoyingly unresolved storyline, Alice has a spin-off (and Tasha), and Kit has found love at last.
I was a little pissy to not hear the horribly delicious Betty theme song one last time in the opening scene, but never fear! As the show aired its ending credits of the ridiculously beautiful and polished women entering the police station, the camera started to slo-mo and frame these women as they gave one last smile into the camera, while hearing the sythesized beats in the background. To me, the seemingly cheesy ending was perfect--the show has always been about our connection to these women, even if we don't live in upper-class LA, are lesbians, feel any tpe of connection to art, or know anyone like Jenny. So congratulations to the show for being able to connect a piece of us to everyone else, just like the good old Chart has always shown that.
Bronx Mowgli's Mom to be on New Melrose Place
Yep, Ashlee Simpson is reportedly in talks to be a character on Melrose Place version 2.0. Her charcater is supposed to be some small town girl who seems all innocent but is actually a vixen. So basically, she is Sydney. I'm sure she will maintain the red hair to boot then.
Oh yeah, and Mischa Marton is still supposedly negotiating to be characater on the show as well.

Andrew McCarthy on The Gossip Girl Spin-Off!
Our favorite Molly Ringwald costar from the '80s is going to play Lily's dad.
Well, shoot, now I must tune in.
Your Idol Top...13! Wow wa wee wah!
The big, shocking twist of last night, was that 3 were not going to advance but 4!! So obviously the judges totally had some kind of plan who they were going to "cast" last night without even hearing them sing.
Jasmine "Commercial" Murray made it through after singing "Reflection," Megan "Hot Stuff" Joy Corkerey made it through with her "quirkiness,"...and dun dun dun....Matt "Now I'm Bluesy Cuz the Judges Told Me To Be" Giraud and Anoop "Dawg/The Personality of Season 8" Desai round it out!!
I love Anoop Dawg, but if he's going to be taken seriously, he's got to polish his performance and maybe do something about his eyebrows. But for now, he is my priority in continuing to watch the show. You?

I'm Going to Kill Chris Brown if He Coerced Rihanna Into Marrying Him
Now that we have details surrounding his 2 very deserved felonies, we know this jerk doesn't deserve much compassion. According to Perez Hilton, several tabloids are insisting they did indeed get married, and this is is the message he got from her publicist in response to the rumors:
"Sorry for the delayed response, but we aren’t able to offer anything right now but will keep you in posted if that changes."
Rihanna's brother and father have told us they can't get a hold of Rihanna.
I really hope she hasn't chosen to do something stupid.

Idol Tonight 3/4
We found out tonight Lil is in, Scott is in, and Jorge is in. Yay. Although I would have taken Ju'not over Jorge, personally. We need contemporary people!
Competing in the Wild Card are Von (why, for the love of God, why), Megan (she's super pretty, isn't she?). Ricky Braddy (Clay Aiken), Matt Giraud (he better redeem himself), Jasmine (commercial, but haven't we seen her type a zillion times before on this show?), Jesse (she's kinda interesting), Tatiana (Sanjaya of this year), and Anoop (yes, for the love of God, yes).
I dunno, ppl. I think these were rather "safe" picks m'judges, "if I have to be honest with you...."

Let's Keep it Real About This Bachelor "Scandal" To Some Back-in-the-Day Drama
Certainly, the news of the Bachelor dumping his fiancee for the other woman from the show was buzzworthy. Many, myself included, are guilty for remarking of its scandal. We are the same people who probably drool saliva-scandal when we think about the whole Brangelina affair. But it seems like maybe we as a society today are far more conservative about affairs of the heart than in the past.
Case in point. I ran across this article about Elizabeth Taylor, which made me think of her, natch. Now this woman was married 8 times, married her good friend's husband because her own husband passed away, and then openly had an affair with Richard Burton, which forced them to divorce both their spouses. Did people make a big deal about her affairs? Did they say mean things about her in the press? You betcha. But seriously, her crimes were far worse than any starlet's I know of today, and the public seemed far more forgiving and able to move on than us today!
Maybe this is because the Internet has made it so much easier to prolong scandals. Maybe we now see celebrities less in the superhuman light than we once did and are not so forgiving. I just can't help but notice how unrelenting the public is in its negative opinion of celebrities gone wild versus our glamorous but gallivanting big names of the past. What do you think?

More Obsession From The Bachelor Fallout: E-mails Between Melissa and Jason Uncovered!
As reported by ACCESS Hollywood--who uncovered personal e-mails--(isn't that spooky and invasion of total privacy?):
In an e-mail before the show, showing perhaps she had some indication of the ensuing dumpage:
"Last night didn't go NEAR how I thought... I still can't believe how you can't give reasons other than 'It changed.'... You know as well as I do that you didn't give 100% to me or the relationship. And I don't understand how you can walk away form something without giving it your all," she wrote in the e-mail dated January 19, 2009. "But I am walking away knowing I did."
Melissa writes in an e-mail write after the taping of the show (I'm guessing this around the 20th):
"And getting confirmation about Molly in front of people like that was a complete classless move if you ask me - how could you do that to me after I repeatedly asked you about it? I'm not stupid, I knew about Molly... and you lied to me about it," she wrote. "I can't even tell you how much respect I lost for you... but it makes this whole process from here on out much easier for me."
In a later e-mail, dated January 21, 2009, Jason replied:
"You don't deserve any of it at all. I wish there were more that I could say. I want to take all of your pain away and put it on me," he replied. "If you are talking about Karma, I slipped and fell and had a huge gash in my leg 3 inches wide and to the bone. I deserve so much worse for what I am doing to you."
And in the final e-mail uncovered by Access between the two, also dated January 21:
"I do think it's a little ironic that you kept telling me, 'Morally, how could I ever get back with DeAnna after what she did to me?' And I agree... just seems like a very similar situation with your new lady... Just a little irony I guess," Melissa wrote. "Seeing the person that you became, you are right: a relationship between you and I would never work out... I'm not mad... I'm not hurt - seeing how things were handled helped me get over things quickly.
"I do wish you both the best though. Take care," Melissa wrote.

The Bachelor's Most Shocking Finale EVER--Thoughts?
I heard about the conclusion to The Bachelor--the guy dumped the girl he picked on national TV for the other girl. Have you been following this season? Is this guy a real jerk, really stupid, or really wanted to create the most shocking After the Rose ever? Tell me what his deal is.
Update: So I read the People Magazine article about this. I am HORRIFIED. Here are a few excerpts:
"The single dad, 32, proposed to an overjoyed Melissa, 25, in the two-hour finale. But on After the Final Rose, which was shot six weeks later, he gave her the boot and confessed he still had feelings for Molly, 24, who agreed to give him another chance."
--First off, why would a 32-year-old single dad pick a 24-year-old? Don't they all still go to clubs and shit and barf on toilets? No? Just me then? I smell ageism.
“I didn’t say something right away because I wanted to figure out what was going in inside of me,” he says. “There was part of me that wanted things to work out with Melissa so bad. But the whole other piece was I had these crazy feelings for Molly.”
Finally, Jason says, he could not deny the truth: “Melissa and I just have different ways of communicating. We’re not right for each other.”
--So why did you PROPOSE to her?? What is this shit??
Update: So I read the People Magazine article about this. I am HORRIFIED. Here are a few excerpts:
"The single dad, 32, proposed to an overjoyed Melissa, 25, in the two-hour finale. But on After the Final Rose, which was shot six weeks later, he gave her the boot and confessed he still had feelings for Molly, 24, who agreed to give him another chance."

Lauren Conrad Gets Another Job Again
Lauren Conrad has written a book "loosely" based on her life. A fictional book.
You know, I'm not one to be jealous of lives of the rich and the famous--but seriously, Lauren--how many dreams can you steal of all us middle-class, non-famous young adult chicks? Vogue employy, fashion designer, and now an author?? Sheesh.

Your American Idol Schedule for the Week
For Central Time-ers:
Tuesday: 7-9pm. The final 12 contestants compete.
Wednesday: 7-8pm. Results Show.
Thursday: 7-8pm. Wild Card Show.
This is allegedly how the show will work (according to mtv.com):
"Quite simply, each judge can pick two contestants from the top 36 — from which everyone is eligible — and those eight (or possibly nine) singers will perform a song on the one-hour March 5 show, with three advancing into the top 12...
The same rules apply as during the audition phases, with majority picks winning the day and judge Simon Cowell casting the tie-breaking vote should there be a 2-2 deadlock, the spokesperson explained.
'I think when we put the 12 together, there will be more personality, more interest and just more diversity,' Cowell told USA Today, without hinting at who he favored to make the cut."

Keeping Up With the Henricksons: Big Love 3/1
Did anyone actually think Joey and Kathy would get married? Or that Nikki wouldn't lie about something/everything? No, I'm sure you aren't surprised when Big Love moments like those occur, but isn't it just the timing and setup of the show that still gives you those OMG moments?
We have all felt the sense of doom following Kathy for quite some time now. We have felt it in every crazy look, hum, and chant that Wanda has given when dealing with Kathy and definitley knew she was a goner last night when she was a) really happy about her impending marriage to Joey (no one can get away in the Henrickson clan without something going awry) and b) Roman wants her to be punished for her "sins." But...did we think she was going to die as simply as she did? I mean, yes, she was being chased down in a car to marry off an evil polygamous patriarch, but it was almost anticlimactic to just...be killed in a car crash, yeah?
With Nikki, on the another hand--we can't seem to figure out if her current actions are the climax or if this is her denouement(there are spoilers that says Chloe Sevigny wants out or her contract, so Nikki might be a goner)... All we know is Nikki, supposedly the least progressive and most religious of the wives, has been taking birth control to ensure she does not expand her heavenly brood; has taken on Margene's identity at work; and, oh, went on a date with her boss and kissed him. Nikki's life just seems like a ticking timebomb, but when will it explode? Any predictions as to Nikki's fate with the family?

Rihanna Seems To Have Forgiven Chris Brown
They reportedly have reconciled and are staying at one of Diddy's houses in Miami.
Here's a picture of Chris looking happy and jet-skiing.
Just curious--is it our business to say yay or nay as to whether she should choose to be with him still?

Drew Barrymore to Direct Third Twilight Movie?!
Well, that might be interesting. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but the rumor is she is up for consideration. She does have majah producing cred and just directed Whip It! starring Ellen Page.
Can you see Drew directing Kristen Stewart? Or Robert Pattinson? She is a fan of Hot Hollywood guys, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some additional directing going on behind the scenes...
Not an insult, Drew! Who wouldn't want to direct Rob?

Our Favorite Friend
Has anyone noticed that Jen Aniston loves to bearhug her Famous Friends in pictures? No...so it's just me who has? Well, I'm a bearhugger too, and I like to notice other affectionate gals like myself. So here's our "Friend"ly favorite givin' love around town.
Britney Working with that Magician/Waiter Max from Saved by the Bell
Cuz he's an actual magician you know. Here is what Ed Alonzo has to reveal about the tour:
“We’re going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech. We’ll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance—and if I do a trick, she doesn’t just hold the props, she’s actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up… Some of it’s pretty scary, but she [Britney] gets right in there with no reservations.”
Just don't have her disapper into thin air, Ed! (heh heH)
Shorties
Paula Abdul is probably being told by producers to continue to drum up some publicity by saying American Idol doesn't need a fourth judge in order to offend her friend Kara, who did say she was hurt by those comments...and now Abdul was probably told to scale the "feud" back by saying she didn't mean Kara...but all the other Fourth Judges. (?)
This will be the last season of The Hills (per Lead Actress Lauren Conrad). Brace yourself for the Speidi Spinoff!
Chris Brown is taking Anger Management classes, and Rihanna was spotted sunning outside looking thankfully healed and radiant.

Idol Perfromances Part Deux
Jasmine Murray: 17-year-old girl part of the "Divas" singing group during Hollywood week. Picked a song that could not have fit her vocal regsiter less. Next.
Matt Giraud: Promising Dueling Piano player who picked Viva La Vida to sing. At first I thought, hey, this could a Blake Lewis style organically original performance! Well the judges didn't dig bit and neither did I. I like him, but something about his speaking voice irks me. And his Elliot Yamin teeth.
Jeanine Vailes: Terrible. No wonder we never have heard her sing in clips yet.
Norman Gentile: I like his schtick, but I don't find it particularly funny. I just find it weird, and AI can flourish with a little weird.
Alison Iraheta: I didn't get to see it, but I heard it was great! Lil' Kelly Clarkson in training?
Kris Allen: What's this, a cute boy? HMMMmMMMMMMmmmmmmM. Actually, he's not really my type, but I've been clamoring for some eye candy, and he gave me somma dat and lot more talent too! Was a confident little cub in his performance of Man in the Mirror. Can he make it through despite lack of airtime?
Megan Joy Corkerey: Anyone notice the "Joy" inserted to her stage name? Anyway, right song, right look, and dare I say it--right Utah Mom demographic with a little Tattoo Street Cred mixed in to give her that extra vote push.
Matt Breitzke: I didn't think it was so bad--I love Tonic too! Sure, he was a little hammy onstage, but what do you expect from an amateur performer of his disposition?
Jesse Langseth: Single Mom Part a Million this season. Was cool as a cat for singing Bette Davis Eyes, but Simon's right, not a big enough song to get people excited.
Kai Kalama: Yes, corny. He's not making it through.
Mishannova Henson: Weird song choice, and yes, she does seem 28 and not 18.
Adam Lambert: Well isn't he the little star of the show! The Broadway Beauty belted some Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and was some hot shit. Is this Producers' Pet a definite lock, or he is too ahead of the time for this show? Potentially Freddie Mercury type of performer?
Safe Predictions:
Adam, Megan Joy, annd...Alison?

They Broke Up! The Girl Next Door and Magician Edition
Holly Madison and Criss Angel have broken up. (*crickets*)
Maybe it's because they totally rushed ther relationship and she was talking marriage and babies by month 2 after an 8-year relationship with Hef?
Don't worry Holly--you will get married and have babies someday! Just don't pick playboy octogenarians or playboy magicians.
Sam Lutfi Still Trying to Ruin Britney's Life
The latest:
According to Britney's hairdresser Roberta Romera, Obsessed Sam sent her several text messages trying to relay messages to Britney but first places several phone calls, not identifying himself and saying he wanted to "help Britney."
When Britney discovered the texts, she asked her to text him telling him to stop trying to contact her. When that didn't stop, they went to the head of her Security who placed a call to him telling him if he didn't stop they would contact the police.
This is why they want to extend the restraining order.
LEAVE BRTINEY ALONE! For realz. We all make dumb choices and associate ourselves with the wrong people at times, but we should be allowed to move on from our mistakes and not feel stalked. We're praying for you, Britney.

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Trying to "Help" Again
I don't know what to think of this guy. Obviously, he's a publicy-loving nutjob...but in his few clarify-filled moments, he has always seemed genuinely concerned about Lil' Lindzy. Here's his latest tweets:

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green--Split!
Per Us Weekly:
"The relationship had run its course," an insider tells Us exclusively. "It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends."
Well, she is an upcoming A-list actress, and he's...best known for 90210. So we can speculate on that.
Wonder who they'll date next?? Yes "they." Megan obviously is the draw, but Brian has had is string who shockingly hot girlfriends inclding Tiffani-Amber Theissen and baby mama Vanessa Marcil.
Scoops n' Spoilers!
According to eonline.com's Kristin Dos Santos:
The L Word
"Who Killed Jenny?"
'You want to know who really shot Jenny? Everyone just assumes that it's Alice (Leisha Hailey) because the spinoff in prison is centered on her, but as she told me at TCA, she could be wrongfully accused. Truth be told, even the cast doesn't know.' Kate French tells me most of the series finale was shot against a green screen, saying, 'I think they did that to throw us all off. Maybe it'll just be my mug shot. Maybe I [killed Jenny].' "
True Blood
"Sookie's power is not unique to her. She'll meet a young Texan named Barry who reads minds, and they freak each other a little when they discover each other's powers. Also, great news for us Eric fans: We'll be catching up with him in 10th century Scandinavia, likely when he was first turned into a vampire."
Sex & The City (The Sequel)
Charlotte's hubby might be KILLED! Here's what the actor has to say:
"Evan Handler, aka Charlotte's faithful yet hairy-backed hubby Harry Goldenblatt
'They could kill me off before the movie even starts,' Evan tells me. 'It's always possible that Harry has had a massive coronary and Charlotte is set free.'

Uh, TMI, Cheryl Burke!
Cheryl Burke of Dancing With the Stars has gained some weight. Consequently, the tabloids have been rather mean to her. So, like many celebs, she decided to speak out:
"I decided over the summer to stop taking birth control pills. I did it thinking that I was going to lose more weight for the season," she tells the latest issue of TV Guide. "But it actually did the opposite. It made me gain weight."
What is sadder--the reason she stopped taking them or the excuse of gaining weight?
WHY does she even think she needs to provide an explanation?? And I'm sorry, the birth-control-pill-made-me-gain-weight excuse is equivalent to my-thyroid-made-me-do-it explanation in my book. It's usually just a few pounds, mmk?
Lady, you still look great! Rise about the gossip like a phoenix and don't be all TMI and provide a phony excuse about it!
DAMN! The Hills Trailer is looking GOOD!

First Night of Real Idol!
What did you think? Did you swoon when all the judges swooned? Barfed when they barfed? (Do you notice that they all swoon and barf together?) Anyhoo, here is my "Idle" opinion of last night:
Jackie Tohn !: (aka New York Girl Clamoring for Attention by Being the Crazy Rocker Girl) Covered Elvis's "Conversation" song--a little too much conversation for me, honey, not enough strong singing.
Ricky Braddy: To me, he is Clay Aiken. Think about it. The North Carolina accent, the vocals, the likely fan base. If you liked him, you like Clay Aiken. That's my equation, and I'm sticking to it.
Alexis Grace: Lotsa praise for this little lady, and she is good, but I think she seems a little artificial. Or maybe amateuer. But amateur ain't bad on a show like this.
Brent Keith: Horrible, and I hate horrible excuses like, "But America will like me!" ALSO, I love how everyone is playing the "I'm-a-blue-collar worker-card when they're, like, former stars of Nashville Star or a Calendar Model, which leads me to...
Casey Carlson: Yep, she sucked, but she was sexy when she whimpered "everything he does just turns me on," yeah?
Stevie Wright: Now I didn't think she was that bad! Vocals were not great, but I liked that song, and her little excited jumping on stage. But she's out.
Michael Sarver: Not great, not horrible, kinda karaoke actually, but a true blue collar worker.
Anoop Desai: ANOOP! I LOVE YOU! I'm on the bandwagon, fo sho! He has such a nice tone to his voice, and I love me some geeks. Wonder if they will make him pluck his eyebrows?
Stephen Fowler: Ugh, he was so my fave, but he did a corny performanse, I agree. Sigh. Hopefully America or the judges can see his Cool Dude potential though.
Anne Marie Boskovich: I like her. She has potential and her tone is pretty. She will get through on wild card.
Tatiana del Toro: OH MY! She played the subdued card last night! That clever bitch! Look, we all know she isn't terrible, but she is totally playing mind games with us. Is she crazy or just confused? I think she's smarter than she seems by confusing us with her "I'm not crazy...tonight...game." It's like when Sanjaya wouls tease us with a crazy hairdo and horrible performance one night, and then be normal-ish the next night. And that took him far. CRACKED UP when The Toro put in her little plea to the audience "to vote because this is my dream." Only this bull would say that bullshit, cloying line!
Danny Gokey: He was great, wasn't he? Definite early favorite. But too much hype?
Safe Predictions: Anoop, Danny, Alexis

Eminem Has a New Number One
"Crack the Bottle," the Dre-Eminem-Fiddy collaboration has hit number one on the charts, selling 418,000 copies.
Really? I like these guys a lot, but the song sounds so...late 90s. Hmm. Come to think of it, so late 90s Eminem. Congrats to them, but they can do better than this!
What do ya think?
Salma Hayek Marries Baby Daddy Billionaire!
They had originally called off the engagement in July, but perhaps abscense (or their adorable daughter) made their hearts grow fonder. She said recently during filming of 30 Rock, when she was kissing Alec Baldwin's charcater, she imagined kissing Francois (Pinault).
The bride is 42 and the groom is 46.
Congrats! Salma gives hope for all the "older" ladies out there waiting for the right guy to marry....because she sure got it right.
Chris Brown Breaks His Silence
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person.

"Those posts or writings under my name are frauds," the statement ends.

Tatiana Del Toro Thinks She's a Star, Has a Lot To Complain About Now
For instance:
"... in response to all the judgment as in…I am a drama queen, crazy, fake. Honestly, I don’t think anyone can imagine the kind of hurt people were trying to inflict on me during the taping of hollywood week and how long it went on and how intesne and relentless it was...
Seriously that was ten minutes of DAYS HOURS OF PEOPLE HUMILIATING ME AND STABBING ME. Alot of people were ganging up on me…calling me hurtful sick names, speaking ill of me, and overall attempting to ruin my career that I have been working on for 24 years since I have been born...
It has been a painful and devastating process getting to where I am, and the thought that all that I have worked for could be blown and I could get cut and be the laughing stock of national television because of some people I just met, insulting me, blaming me for their own lack of talent and drive, sitting around moping and complaining and pointing fingers and wasting time, drove me to my melting point after HOURS/DAYS of trying to pull everything together with a smile on my face…
These people called me “Satan” yelled at me and blamed me for things that never happened ALL ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. It was humiliating."
How many weeks till the part-time lingerie model gets voted off? I say 3.
Adnan Ghalib Got Served With Britney's Restraining Order And Then Ran Over That Person With a Car
...and that would be assault with a deadly weapon, for reals.
Is the water in LA funkier than usual this week? Everyone is NUTS this week!
Big Love Scoop!
Coutesy of Michael Ausiellio of Entertainment Weekly:
Question: Since I'm being good and not throwing a fit about Ask Ausiello moving to Thursdays, can you give up some Big Love scoop? -- Linda
Ausiello: I'm hereby ordering all Emmy voters to watch the Feb. 22 episode. It finds the entire Henrickson clan embarking on a 2,500 mile road trip and it easily ranks as the finest hour of television all season. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to throw a parade in honor of Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin. But more importantly, stuff happens. Ben-and-Margene stuff. Sarah-pregnancy stuff. Nicki-birth-control stuff. Big stuff. Speaking of which, I'm surprised you guys aren't hounding me about the big death coming up. What's up with that?

Bar Rafaeli
Hello. Do you know who this woman is?
That's Bar Rafaeli. She's the newest Sports Illustarted Cover model, and she's also Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend.
You know, he may not win may awards, but I think most guys think Leo wins in real life.

The "Chief" Says Izzie and George are Leaving Seattle Grace
According to James Pickens Jr. (aka Dr. Webber) Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are leaving Grey's Anatomy.
"Yes, she is," Pickens told Us Weekly when he was asked if Heigl is leaving the hospital drama. "Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best."
"He's going too," Pickens added. "He just wanted to pursue other career paths."
This is not the first time we've heard such rumors--but there's something to a reputable cast member confirming it.
Crazy Octuplet Mom Is On Welfare
Nadya Suleman, Crazy Octuplet Mom, lied on national television. For shame.
Previously it was reported that she was not on welfare--well, 3 of her 6 kids are disabled so she is getting $490 in food stamps a month.
Let us keep in mind that she is currently not employed, and hasn't been for some time, because she has is in school getting her masters in counseling.
Also, please pay attention to the lack of un-swelled lips in this past picture of her. Now do you think she really and truly is crazily aspiring to be Ms. Jolie from the children right down to the massive lips?

More Details on Rihanna and Chris Brown Abuse Scandal
- Allegedly, she did not call the police, but someone from the ritzy area of LA where the incident occurred called when they heard screaming from the scene
- There are 2 "huge contusions" on both sides of her forehead, a bloody lip, and bloody nose--and supposedly, bite marks. The bumbs on her head look like "devil's horns"
- When the police came, Chris Brown had fled the scene and Rihanna refuse treatmant initially but then went to the hospital later on Sunday
- Allegedly, Chris Brown has taken a private plane to Las Vegas, and Rihanna's family is trying to take her back home to Barbados
- Rihanna has cancelled her concert in Malaysia, and Chris has cancelled his performance at the NBA All-Star Game
Young man, at 19, your career is over. Unless that Michael Jackson lawyer you hired, Mark Geragos, can spin this story for you like no other.
I know what it's like to be that age and be nuts in the head when you're angry, but if injuries are as bad they claim, he will have a tough time justifying that amount of rage.

Shorties
Hayden is allegedly cheating on her Heroes boyfriend Milo with Jesse McCartney, Mariah Carey's Nick Cannon will be hosting America's Got Talent, and Usher's wife Tameka Foster is in "stable" condition.
Kate and Owen: Back 2Gether Again
...so I hear from People magazine.
They apparently spent the day at Wilson's Malibu home where Kate's son joined them.
Keeping Up With The Henricksons
Last night with our favotite group of polygymous Mormons...
Fouth Wife. The lame fourth wife situation is still existing--lame because I detest Ana's Serbian accent (I KNOW me some Eastern Europeans; the accent isn't as cartoonish as that) and lame because she is useless to the family! She would bring nothing positive or remotely interesting (except for more sex for Bill). I'm pretty sure she knows how useless she is too.
Sarah's Pregnancy. What will she do now? Benny wants her to give the baby to her Mom and Dad, but she wants another non-polygymous family to adopt it. Well the problem with the family they visited last night is the potential Dad is gay and has been trying to be "cured" by the Church. Sarah isn't having that, but her lesbian-vibed friend Heather finds some comfort in the potential cure.
The Crazy Compound Ladies. Lois almost murdered Frank, but didn't, so now she's on the lam from the compound, hiding out at the Henricksons. And we are watching Wanda deteriorate more and more into her pale-faced madness while her beloved Joey continues to find more affinity with his second wife. Adaleen's craziness next...
Roman's Trial. In the case against Roman Grant and whether he has been trafficing underage age girls to marriage--will Rhonda testify or won't she? Well, she doesn't. Adaleen found a way to Rhonda's heart (hint: it's green and papery and you can pack it in a sack), and she ends up not "betraying" the Prophet. Joey's second wife was set to testify...but her twin sister ended up lying on the stand saying they were 19 and not 16 when they married their deceased husband. Why? Adaleen seemed to have put the Marquart sister's son in danger if she didn't protect Roman.
What about Nikki in this? Nikki ended up protecting dear old Papa as she usually does, much to Bill's chagrin, but wait...she protected him...but she is also royally pissed at him! Actually, I think her emotions go far deeper than "pissed." As Roman passes her by by the staircase he says something to the effect of: "I could not do this without your help my Dear Daughter." We all think she will be delighted in hearing this, but in a shocking moment, she pushes him down the stairs! He is baffled, and all Nikki can do is give him a look of "You know what you did to me." Yes Nikki, he did force you into underage marriage too--but you protected him. Oh the complexities of parental love!
