La Toya Jackson Marries in LA
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Weddings,
La Toya Jackson reportedly got married on Friday.
The 57-year-old star, who is the older sister of the late Michael Jackson, tied the knot with her long-time friend and business partner, Jeffre Phillips, in Los Angeles. A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com that La Toya's mother Katherine Jackson and her nephew Prince, 16, both attended the low-key nuptials.
La Toya did not mention her wedding on Twitter on Friday but tweeted, "Happy Friday Guys! An Act Of Kindness Is Always Appreciated!"
Jeffre surprised the singer by proposing on her show, Life with La Toya, after she went on several unsuccessful dates. But a source previously old the National Enquirer magazine that the duo have been together for years. "She decided to pretend she's looking for a boyfriend, but she's been with Jeffre for years. Everyone who knows them personally knows they're in a relationship. Jeffre is going along with it because he wants the show to be a success," the insider said.

Conrad Murray: Ordered to Stand Trial for Michael Jackson Manslaughter
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
His legal defense seemed a little shaky from the word go.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who cared for pop star Michael Jackson during the singer’s final days, has been ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. Murray claimed that Jackson injected himself with a lethal dose of Propofol, but the judge has ruled that Murray's case will continue.
Meanwhile, Murray has been stripped of his medical license. Members of the Jackson family (Katherine, Janet, La Toya, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon) were present during last week’s hearing, which ended in the current ruling. “I’m happy so far,” said La Toya of the events.
Testimony in the hearing took six days, where more than 20 witnesses were heard for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defense during the hearing.

Peter Andre to Stage Jackson Tribute
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Kind Acts,
Australian singer-songwriter Peter Andre is in talks to stage a Michael Jackson tribute concert.
The “Behind Closed Doors” singer has been in “regular contact” with Michael’s sister La Toya and is hoping to meet her next week to “finalize” their plans for a show.
The 36-year-old star revealed in New! magazine:
“Over the last few weeks I have been in regular contact with La Toya Jackson about some kind of tribute for her brother, Michael. Everyone who knows me knows how much I idolized Michael and how much his music influenced me, so I feel really honored to be part of this. There isn’t anything quite set in stone yet but we have four or five ideas, including a tribute concert or a TV special. La Toya is flying to the UK next week, so we are going to meet up and hopefully put our ideas into action. La Toya is one of the few Jacksons I haven’t met yet, so I am really looking forward to spending some time with her.”
