I’m sure everyone knows that Michael Jackson passed away last week, some are still waiting 
to hear exactly how he died. Some say an overdose, others say murder and some say natural causes but no one will know until it is announced to the world which I’m guessing will be some time. In the meantime we all reflect on the concerts he had and of course Neverland. I won’t touch much on this subject as I know it is all over the news, but I will briefly talk about the rumors, kids and of course the funeral.
Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and definitely made history for his one gloved hand. In the end, Michael was planning a comeback that would’ve been very soon, he was even preparing for it the night before he died. Michael Jackson leaves behind three children, the ones everyone is wondering exactly who they will go to and if Michael had any thoughts on the matter. But finding this out would mean uncovering secrets that no one knew. Michael has three children, many believed (assumed) that the first two belonged to Debbie Rowe, however news reports are now stating that she was just a surrogate and they aren’t biologically Michael’s children either. The third, Michael Prince (blanket) was also from a surrogate but not the same as the other two.
Reports were being stated that Debbie Rowe was going to fight the Jackson family for custody, currently they are living with Grandma and that’s who they want to stay with. The will is finally being spoken of and it seems he did ask that the kids and his estate be left to his mother and children, no one else.
Joe Jackson, father to Michael, has held a press conference and stated that Michael will have a public funeral. Now there is no date just yet as the family is waiting for the results of a second autopsy. Rumor has it the Jackson family are planning a funeral at the Neverland Ranch, which will have tight security.

In case you did not see the last two episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, they had a big 
announcement recently and those that got to see it heard they were getting a divorce. In the latest preview it shows Kate with her kids walking around a ship, later Kate has a tea party with the girls as well as making necklaces. There’s no sighting of Jon but both make comments in regarding the whole thing.
In the last episode with both of them in it, they explain to the viewers that they are headed for a divorce. In fact Kate had just (a few hours before) filed for the divorce, however her records were sealed so there’s no information leaking on either part. Both did have comments to the media the day after, however they are now no longer commenting to the media.

Bravo is gearing up for an artistic type of reality show and I do mean art. Apparently this has been in the works now for over one year and they are finally spilling the beans about it. The reality show will be called, “The Untitled Art Project.” Does it sound interesting enough yet?
There will be 13 artists in the reality show and one of the executive producers is new mom again, Sarah Jessica Parker. For those that don’t know, she and her husband just brought home twin daughters that’ll be joining their bigger brother.
The prize, since there always is one in these reality shows will be to compete for a “gallery show,” one person will get a national tour and finally there are cash prizes. Think you could stand out against the other artists? Casting call in

Shows that haven’t made it to their next rounds will be:
According to Jim
Cupid
Eleventh Hour
Everybody Hates Chris

What shows are you sorry to see leaving? Which ones are you shocked they are staying?

I’m a Celebrity…Get me Out of here premiere’s tonight, so far this is one of those crazy survivor type shows but for celebrities. It, from my understanding is going to have a group of celebrities tossed on an island where they must fend for themselves. By the 
way this wasn’t the first time this show has been done before, a few years back they tried but it didn’t work out. My guess is too many celebrities wanted special treatment. Guess it shouldn’t come as a shock that one celebrity couple are already complaining.
Here’s a list of cast members that will be on the show: (there’s another that I can’t remember)
Lou Diamond Phillips
Janyce Dickinson
Patti Blagojevich
Sanjaya Malakar
Torrie Wilson
John Salley
Stephen Baldwin
Heidi Montag
Spencer Pratt
The celebrity couple that are complaining? Oh Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of course. They thought the other celebrities were all “C-list” and that they were A. By the way they’ve tried quitting two times already, something tells me they won’t make it to the very end.

Looking for what’s coming out on DVD this week as far as TV shows goes? Not a problem here’s a quick list:
Boston Legal: Season Five
Lipstick Jungle: Season 2
Doctor Who: Battlefield
The Note II: Taking a chance on Love
October Road: Season 2
I remember watching a few series of Boston Legal and I do love the way these two get along. Okay, even when they don’t get along its funny. For those that don’t know this is the last season of Boston Legal so if you haven’t seen this one you may want to get it.

It’s no surprise really that Donald Trump’s reality show, “Celebrity Apprentice” just got renewed for another season. I mean doesn’t everything Donald Trump touches turn to gold? For those that don’t know, Celebrity Apprentice is in its 9th running but it hasn’t always been celebrity based. That’s right the first 6 seasons were all regular joes. In this last season we all got to hear Joan Rivers tell everyone off when her daughter, Melissa was tanked. OUCH! We even got to hear her say some pretty bad words. Course I think that’s just some bug going around Hollywood. The potty mouth bug.
Did you have any favorite parts from this season’s “Celebrity Apprentice?”

Daniel Faraday has definitely left Lost, this past Wednesday he was gunned down by his own mother on the show. Apparently this was his 1977 mom, not his 2007 
mom. Confused yet? Don’t be if you recall this show brought in the past and future selves. His 2007 mom had encouraged him to go to this island, but it was his past mom that shot at him.
Hmm, something wrong with the picture? He had planned on making a hydrogen bomb for the island so maybe this was a good thing after all. What do you think? Course if he had saved the island there’d be no show, I guess they had to kill him.
Will you miss Daniel?
