Michael Jackson is still not gay
It seems that this last controversy about the late pop legend really started to turn some heads. Now, Michael Jackson’s former bodyguards have apparently put their efforts together and they wrote a book named “In Defense of the King” in which they try to show everybody how Michael could not have been gay, including by divulging the fact that during his last years, Michael Jackson actually had two girlfriends. Now that’s definitely going to convince people… even the skeptics.
Avril Lavigne Launches Clothing Line
The NY Post’s Rush and Molloy ran the following blind item today:
Which floundering pop star is hoping a clothing line will rehab her nonexistent singing career?
Coincidentally, floundering pop star Avril Lavigne announced that her new clothing line “Abbey Dawn” is set to launch in Kohl’s department stores mid-summer.
Madonna’s Sexy New Toy Friend
When I first saw the picture of Madonna, outside a hotel in London holding a see-through plastic bag containing The Purple Penetrator, it made me wonder. What is going on inside that head of hers? She does not need THAT KIND of publicity!
She used to be a wild child in her day, a kinky one at that, so maybe she’s just being who she is and wants the world to know that even though she’s older, married, and a mama, she still likes to get her freak on.
Nicole Scherzinger & Lil’ Wayne Rehearsal
Check out this photo of singer Nicole Scherzinger and rapper Lil’ Wayne rehearsing for their VMA’s pre-show performance. Seems Nicole will perform “Whatever U Like” with Weezy as the main rapper. I’m sure it’s gonna be hot!!!
