Michael Jackson is deathly ill, says InTouch Magazine
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Breaking News, Rumors,
While Michael Jackson is typically the punchlines of all sorts of jokes, he is now in a very serious condition, if InTouch sources are to be believed. The magazine is reporting that Michael Jackson is suffering from the rare genetic disease Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells In Touch that he believes that the King of Pop is fighting for is life. “Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” Halperin, a New York Times best-selling author, tells In Touch exclusively. “He’s had it for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.
Needing a transplant, but being too weak to get one done, is never a good combination. Couple that with chronic bleeding, and there is cause for much concern. And, of course, there is more on the actual disease itself.

Is Paula Abdul Burning Her Bridges with FOX?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
Paula Abdul’s place with American Idol remains dubious as the former pop princess continues to contribute somewhat negative comments about the show and its producers.
Rumors about Abdul have been rampant since before Season 7 expired earlier this year. After displaying serious confusion during a routine judging (she started to critique a second song performed by Jason Castro before the event actually occurred), the gossip circles started to spin. A survey was released by FOX which asked a series of questions about the hosts, a casting addition was surprisingly announced and a lot of turmoil entered Abdul’s personal life.
On top of this, Abdul is working on another reality project (Paula Abdul’s Rah Cheerleading Bowl - seriously that’s the name of the show) with MTV and a jewelry line she’s going to hock on QVC. When you compare these gigs to number one network show American Idol, it all sounds a little second-tier. When you compare it to Paula Abdul’s career prospects in the late 90s, it’s a huge success.

Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr: Gossip Girl’s Newest Couple?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups, Rumors,
Watch out Penn and Blake. Looks like there might be another on-set couple aiming to steal your thunder.
According to spies for both the New York Post and W Magazine, Gossip Girl co-stars Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) and Ed Westwick (Chuck) got quite cozy this holiday weekend. The two, along with Chace Crawford (Nate), were all stuck in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport on Sunday on their way back to New York. (The trio may have been visiting Crawford’s family in the Plano area.) It’s in that oh-so-romantic terminal where kisses were witnessed.
“They were trying to be discreet by stealing kisses near the gate,” one tipster reported. Another spy said their flirtation was not something that could be mistaken. “Not a French kiss, but a smooch definitely. They were being very flirty when people were not paying attention.”
So were Jessica and Ed still drunk on spiked eggnog…or are they really pursuing off-screen what Chuck and Vanessa came very close to doing on? Sounds like we need to get GG on the case!

Balthazar Getty Denies Split from Sienna Miller
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Videos, Rumors,
And to think - just 4 months ago, Balthazar Getty was releasing far more eloquent statements.
Just when we thought there was hope for Balthazar, the 33-year-old actor disappointed us once again. Although it was earlier believed that he had Sienna Miller had broken up, the Brothers & Sisters star was kind enough to set the record straight yesterday. The reason the two were reunited in London over the Thanksgiving holiday was because they supposedly never broke up.
After being greeted by the paps at the airport (something he should be used to by now), Getty used a few choice words to explain the confusion. “The quote that came out the other day about her saying we split up was a quote they plucked out of thin f—kin air. It was bulls—t.” Wow. I wonder what he’ll have to say when they really break up!

Is Mariah Carey Pregnant?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Pregnancies, Rumors,
Will there be any spiked eggnog for Mariah Carey this Thanksgiving?
On yesterday’s episode of Ellen, the talk show host addressed the pregnancy rumors swirling around the recently-married diva. Realizing the singer would probably have difficulty answering the question, Ellen DeGeneres was ready with a backup plan. If Carey wanted to prove she wasn’t pregnant, why not celebrate with a glass of champagne?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, The CW, Gossip,

The success of 90210 has unleashed a lot of speculation and a ton of hope. If one show can be recycled and find success, why not another?

American Idol: Soon to Be Abdul-Free?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
When word spread that the minds behind TV’s most popular show were adding a new female judge, the rumors quickly started that the “old” female judge is on the way out as a result. Thanks to some recent comments and movements made by Paula Abdul, gossip that she could be leaving American Idol are flying again. Only this time, they may have some basis in the truth.
OK! Magazine reports that Paula Abdul is going to “transition” out of Idol, and one source is quoted as saying the singer has a “new, secret venture” in the works. It can only be assumed this venture is not Paula Abdul’s RAH Cheerleading Bowl, which everyone already knows about. This cheer competition will air on MTV on Jan. 1.
Abdul, 45, had “no comment” on the rumors reported by OK!. It could be that a four-person panel is just too crowded for Paula, who has long lorded as the only female in the permanent cast. Kara DioGuardi will join the judges at the Idol table for the first time this year.
Last year, it was reported that American Idol was not-so-quietly polling viewers, asking them questions on every cast member and facet of the show. Could it be that Paula’s results weren’t so great? The show will premiere on January 13, though there’s no word on which members of the judging panel will be viewable in the first few (casting) episodes.
