Jackson Family Attempted Intervention
People.com and CNN.com are reporting that the Jackson family attempted to stage an intervention with Michael as far back as 2006, according to sources close to the family. The attempt angered Jackson, and, according to CNN, he ordered his security to keep his brothers outside Neverland's gates and refused to take calls from his mother. One source claims that anyone who tried to talk to Jackson about his condition was shut out.The news comes as further confirmation that Jackson's life was dominated by addiction to prescription pain pills, who was warned repeatedly by his dermatologist that these drugs were more than he could handle and were improperly prescribed by his other physicians.
Drug czar Gil Kerlikowske has said that Jackson's death is a wake up call about America's problem with prescription drug abuse. He went on to say that these drugs, while legal, still pose a threat when used improperly.

Paul Denies Fallout with Michael Jackson
There are probably many of you wondering what becomes of the Beatles music now that Michael Jackson has passed. Some of you may have heard that Michael Jackson bequeathed the Beatles catalogue to Paul McCartney. That would be wrong.
Paul writes on his website:
"Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was going to leave his share in the Beatles songs to me in his will which was completely made up and something I didn’t believe for a second."He goes on to add that he is not devastated that this myth didn't materialize and that he and Jackson were still on friendly terms and that he has 'fond memories of [their] time together.'

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?
So remember that shockingly tasteful Michael Jackson memorial that took place yesterday? You might've noticed that it was a pretty opulent affair, paid for by the taxpayers of Los Angeles. If you've been paying close attention, you might also know that California is facing a serious deficit, so paying for Michael Jackson's funeral service might seem a bit of a stretch.Maybe you thought some beneficent corporation would step forward to foot the bill, or that the Jackson estate would pony up to cover the expense. You'd be wrong, but it's a nice thought. Instead, the Mayor of Los Angeles is reaching out to Michael Jackson fans the world over, asking them to donate to a PayPal account to help defray the costs of the ceremony.
That's right. You're not dreaming. The Mayor of Los Angeles has taken the same approach to microfinancing the Michael Jackson memorial as any random blogger might try to pay for his or her hosting fees.

Jennifer Hudson Pregnant
Anyone who saw Jennifer Hudson perform at Michael Jackson's memorial service could tell that she's expecting a baby in the very near future, as confirmed by an NJ.com report. The father is her boyfriend David Otunga, who she started dating last year. This comes as a bit of good news for Hudson, who has had a very difficult year, suffering the loss of her mother, brother and nephew last October.

Kellie Pickler, Kid Rock Dating?
Kellie Pickler has a new Rock of love, and it’s not Bret Michaels, according to a report in SFGate's Daily Dish. The former “American Idol” star talked in a radio interview about a long-term romance, but didn’t specifically name Kid Rock."I'm seeing someone. I got a man. He's a great, great guy. We've been seeing each other for over a year," said Pickler.
Kid Rock (also known as Robert Ritchie) and Pickler became close when the pair headlined the U.S.O. Holliday tour together in Afghanistan in 2008. Sources are saying the relationship is “the worst kept secret in Nashville.”
The Grammy nominated rocker has developed somewhat of a reputation after being married to Pamela Anderson and briefly dating Sheryl Crow, but his new girlfriend isn’t intimidated. Pickler is no stranger to bad boys, considering her father’s multiple run-ins with the law.
And Rock is no kid. As a matter of fact, he is 15 years older than the 23 year-old singer songwriter. Time will tell how long the beautiful singer who finished in sixth place on her season of “Idol” will continue to occupy the number one spot in Kid Rock’s heart.

Mariah Mans Up for New Video
Nick Cannon may have a new boyfriend. I beard your pardon?Mariah Carey has transformed herself into a man for her new music video, “Obsessed.” Man-riah donned a full goatee and sweat suit inspired by Eminem, who has harbored animosity toward the glittery star since she publicly denied that the two dated in 2001. Check out the video below to see more of Mariah as a man.
Perhaps the bitterness between the two music moguls will subside in time for the release of Mariah’s new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” which will be in stores on Aug. 25.
