You may have seen the reports circulating around recently which claimed Diana Ross would gain custody and become guardian to Michael Jackson’s three children once his mother, Katherine passes on. Crazy, right? Well, it turns out they’re true.
Jon Gosselin Now A Fashion Designer – UPDATE
July 13, 2009 By 2 Comments
The Jon & Kate Gosselin saga can be compared to a trainwreck; so bad you try not to watch, yet so horrible you can’t help but to! The latest development in all this Gosselin-hoopla – a deal for Jon to design his own line of children’s clothing with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier. Jon’s new girlfriend Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the doctor who performed a tummy tuck procedure on Kate, will also be taking part in this new endeavor. Jon arranged for Hailey, a burgeoning shoe designer, to get a meeting with the Ed Hardy staff to pitch her ideas.
Per People:
“She’ll have a lot of input with Christian,” Gosselin told PEOPLE of Hailey’s involvement. “And I will, too.”
I really doubt this woman studied any kind of fashion in college… Or even stepped foot on a college campus for that matter! Before Jon and soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate had their eight children, he worked as an IT analyst. But since TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8” his job has been managing the family and meeting the demands of the show. So just how does this make him ready to be a clothing designer? I guess his popularity has something to do with it.
Per People:
“He’s huge,” says the French designer, who may also collaborate with Gosselin on a specialty motorcycle collection. “Everyone knows this family. And everyone will know our clothes. They’ll be fun, easy clothes for kids.”
Apparently, owning an abundance of Ed Hardy shirts while being known as a cheating dad trying to relive your 20s is qualification enough for a seriously easy gig like this. Audigier first approached Gosselin with the idea after seeing him wear his tattoo-inspired shirts on the show and out in public all the time. The Gosselin’s 8 children will will model his designs in ads for the line… Way to go all Joe Jackson and pimp your children out at an early age, Jon!
Yeah, I know… I’m wearing the same “WTH” look on my face as you all are. I’m sure he’ll be another “flash-in-the-pan” reality star turned designer – think Lauren Conrad… Oh I bet Kate is gonna have a field day with this, especially since her own plans for a clothing line were a huge dud!
UPDATE – A rep for the fashion house has called Jon a liar, lair crotch on fire. The statement issued insists Gosselin is NOT creating a children’s line with Hardy.

Elizabeth Taylor Snubs Michael Jackson’s Memorial
July 7, 2009 By 2 Comments
In true Lindsay Lohan fashion, Elizabeth Taylor has taken to her Twitter to discuss her feelings about the passing of her friend, Michael Jackson.
Taylor revealed on her account that she was asked to speak at Jackson’s memorial, set to take place Tuesday at the Staples Center in LA. The actress, however, declined stating that she wasn’t sure she would be coherent to speak.
Via People:
“I cannot be part of the public whoopla. I just don’t believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event.”
Is it just me, or is it a little weird that Elizabeth Taylor is the only person making sense when it comes to Michael Jackson’s memorial?
Michael Jackson: Never Adopted His Kids, Their Real Father Revealed, Joe Jackson Snubbed
June 30, 2009 By 8 Comments
So much for letting Michael Jackson rest in peace. After several emails begging for the scoop, we have broken our rule and here is the dirt. (The Dame is a sucker for begging.)
Not only is there still a great deal of speculation surrounding the pop icon’s death, even more is being revealed concerning his three children: Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince.
First, it is being reported that Jackson was NOT the biological father of the two oldest children (shocker), but also that he never legally adopted the children.
Via TMZ:
“We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. And Michael was not the biological parent of Prince Michael II either. Now here’s the rub. We’ve learned Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts tell us Jackson would be presumed the father but it’s not conclusive by any means.”
To make matters worse, US Weekly is reporting that the children’s biological father is actually Jackson’s former dermtologist (and Debbie Rowe’s boss), Arnold Klein.
Via US Weekly:
“He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”
When will this insanity end? And when will someone actually realize that there are children at the heart of this matter?
Apparently, not anytime soon. As of now, Michael’s mother Catherine, has been granted temporary custody of the kids. However, I have a little itch deep inside that is telling me once she learns Michael never officially adopted the children-and therefore aren’t entitled to any of his money-they will be shipped off to Debbie Rowe who will begin her stint on the talk show circuit.
In case you were wondering about what Jackson’s will stated, so is the rest of the world, the Jackson family in particular. Well, with one little exception. It seems that Michael left his father, Joe “I am about to launch a record label” Jackson out of the will entirely.
Via E!:
“The document—which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come—divides the superstar’s estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.”
Catherine and Joe sought to control Michael’s estate claiming the pop star died without a will when this one, drafted in 2002, surfaced. A lawyer for the family is denying that any will has been presented to the family.

Michael Jackson’s Autopsy Results – Rumor
June 29, 2009 By 2 Comments
[Janet Jackson, Jamie Foxx at BET Awards - Video]
Reports of supposed autopsy results for singer Michael Jackson are making their way around the World Wide Web. According to the documents, Jackson’s body was emaciated and bald at the time of his death.
Via The New York Post:
“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for some years. There were four fresh injections around his heart, presumably from attempts to pump adrenaline into it to jumpstart it.”
Though the report seems plausible given the condition the pop icon was last seen in, other sources are reporting that the autopsy results are a fake.
Via TMZ:
“We’ve learned the story making the rounds detailing the terrible condition of Michael Jackson’s body is a fake. A report in The Sun gave harrowing details of the body, but we’ve learned the ‘autopsy report’ was fabricated and completely false.”
I don’t who to believe Kittens. Though I hate to admit it, TMZ was the first to accurately report Jackson’s passing.
These new rumors come only a day after Joe Jackson and daughter Janet made an appearance at the BET Awards. Though choked-up, Janet managed to state the following:
Via People:
“To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. He will forever live in all of hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

Actor/singer Jamie Foxx and Beyonce all paid tribute to the King of Pop at the ceremony.
As soon as an official cause of death is released, we will report it to you. Until then, we at Hollywood Dame are going to let Michael rest in peace.
