Michael Jackson was murdered

Image
LaToya Jackson says she believes her brother, Michael Jackson, was murdered. The sister of the late King of Pop reportedly said a "manipulative entourage" killed the star for his money. In various interviews with sunday newspapers, LaToya lifted the lid on Michael's death, drugs found in his body and jewels and money she believes have gone missing. Talking to News Of The World, she said: "We don't think just one person was involved in the murder. It was a conspiracy to get Michael's money." She said she believed a "shadowy" group of people had cut him off from his family and friends, and had, subsequently, forced him to sign up to the 50 concerts at London's o2 arena. She told the Mail On Sunday: "He was surrounded by a bad circle. "Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. "People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side. "Michael was worth more than a...

Gerard On Dating Jen

Gerard On Dating Jen Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston Gerard Butler has gone to town on claims he's dating co-star Jennifer Aniston. He told the August issue of US Esquire they'd only spoken for a few minutes before rumours started flying that they'd hooked up. "The sum total of our conversation was about four minutes at the Toronto Film Festival," says the Scottish beefcake. "The next day, the story is: 'Gerry Butler and Jennifer Aniston get cosy at the Toronto Film Festival.' "Cosy? We were standing up and surrounded by 40 people." He continued: "You can walk around with a hundred of your buddies and it's cool, but the second there's a woman involved..." Our Gerry's got a theory about why it happens though. He said bluntly: "It's because she's single and I'm single." We didn't say it was a comprehensive explanation... Gerard and Jen are currently spending so much time together ...

Image
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris had the last word at her late father's memorial service in Los Angeles on Tuesday - as she had the world sobbing for her loss. The 11 year old took to the stage at the end of the tribute to join her aunts and uncles in remembering the King of Pop, who died on 25 June. And few were able to hold back tears as she cried, "Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine and I just wanted to say I love him so much." Her father's golden coffin sat yards away from her at the front of the Staples Center stage, where stars like Brooke Shields, Usher, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Motown boss Berry Gordy paid tribute to Jackson. Prior to her lasting remarks, Jackson's siblings thanked fans for attending the memorial and added their own heartfelt messages to their deceased brother. Marlon Jackson recalled identifying his brother in a record store - even though he was in disguise, because he always wore the ...

Patricia Arquette Still Hung Up on Thomas Jane

Image
John Shearer/Getty Images Patricia Arquette is done trying to divorce Thomas Jane . Less than a month after the Medium star and her famous siblings were spotted at the launch party for Jane's new HBO series, Hung , a judge has signed off on her request to abandon the divorce petition she filed in January. Arquette filed the request Tuesday and it was approved today.

The couple, who married in May 2006, have a 6-year-old dau...

Ice Age and Transformers Tie for No. 1 Box Office

Image
Both pics make an estimated $42.5 million By Keith Williams HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 7/5/09 — Decepticons, Dinosaurs and Depression-Age Gangsters battled it out over the Fourth of July weekend with the top banana being split between Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs defrosting $42.5 million at 4099 glaciers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen pulverising exactly the same amount at 4234 pyramids despite a 61% drop. Public Enemies, the new period thriller starring Johnny Depp tommy-gunned $26 million from 3319 banks, that’s $41 million in small change since opened last Wednesday. Now in its second week of world domination at the box-office, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen continued to trash all in its path, good and bad alike. Whilst marginally better than its predecessor - you can actually tell the robots apart this time - the lack of story, endless set-pieces and puerile humor one would have thought word-of-mouth alone would have sunk it by now. Apparently not. Independ...

Public Enemies (2009)

Image
No one could stop John Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone -- from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger' gang -- later including Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis -- thrilled many, J. Edgar Hoover made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Melvin Purvis, the dashing "Clark Gable of the FBI." However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals -- from the infamous "Lady in Red" to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti -- were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger. Also Known As: Public Enemies: America's Greatest C...

Transformers 2

Image
Transformers 2 Tops $200 Million in Five Days Well, once again I am speechless at The Reject Report. I really don’t know what to say, or even where to begin with this Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie, which has set the five-day record for a Wednesday release with a total gross of $201,246,000. That’s based on the Sunday morning estimates. If we see a spike in the Sunday actuals by at least a couple more million by Monday, this movie may be in a position to also claim victory over The Dark Knight’s overall five-day haul of $203 million. In addition, it’s a Wednesday record of $60.6 million and a Wednesday midnight-movie record of $16 million, both of which also rank as second and third overall, respectively, to The Dark Knight for a single day. This flick also shares with The Dark Knight the distinction of being the second motion picture in history to get past $200 million in just five days — again, this is just based on Sunday morning estimates so we don’t know if that is set ...
