Los Angeles officials are preparing for what may be the largest public memorial service that this planet has ever seen. Ticket holders for Michael Jackson’s funeral are already lining up at the Staples Center to get their seats, while more king of pop fans are descending to downtown LA to pay their respects too.
Police have asked that fans without tickets for Michael Jackson’s funeral service at the Staples center stay home, or at least not come down to the Staples Center – this will prove to be a real challenge, as the out-pouring of emotion for the 50-year-old star has eclipsed the sentiment felt for the late Princess Diana, which drew millions of mourners.
Michael Jackson’s funeral service will begin at 10:00 am PST at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and will be broadcasted on national television channels and web services. Celebrities expected to make appearances at the funeral service include Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy (the founder of Motown music) while other stars like Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson are set to perform live at the event.
Michael Jackson’s body was laid to rest last night in a private funeral service held for family and close friends at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills. Today will be a day for the fans to gain closure from this tragedy and remember Michael Jackson as the man who set the world on fire.
This day will most certainly mark the end of an era, a goodbye to one of the last remaining superstars of our generation and a celebration of a remarkable life.

You know a Bachelorette contestant is a real loser when the host of the show (Chris Harrison) takes the time to slam his character in his post-elimination blog.
Episode 8, last night, was the night Bachelorette fans had been waiting for all season. Jillian Harris finally the crushed the ego of the most-hated contestant in Bachelorette history and sent home Wes (we’d mention his last name but we don’t want this fame-whore getting any more attention than he’s already received).
Jillian and the millions of viewers weren’t the only ones thrilled about Wes’ elimination. Chris Harrison took the time to blog about episode 8 this morning, where he made fun of the wannabe singer and revealed how he really felt about the aspiring star.
If you haven’t read Chris’ blog already, we highly suggest taking the 5 minutes to do so. Trust us, it’s hilarious.
So all in all, we’re ecstatic that Wes was sent home. We’d just like to mention that there’s absolutely no chance of this guy becoming a famous musician. Not a chance in hell.
Oh, and by the way Wes, nobody believes you had a girlfriend back home. There are a lot of dumb girls in this world but not one of them is dumb enough to actually believe you’re a good guy.
Good job, you’ve officially destroyed your music career – and any chance of ever finding true happiness.
Congratulations.
Are you happy Wes was finally sent home?

OK Magazine has never been one to back down from controversial headlines and questionable photos but their new issue covering the death of Michael Jackson has been named by some (MSNBC in particular) as "a whole new low."
The Magazine has decided to release the new issue with a cover photo of Jackson in a stretcher, allegedly already dead. Because it was confirmed that Michael had passed away before arriving at teh hospital, it's easy to draw to the conclusion that Michael was dead in the photo.
Despite the uproar of criticism surrounding the cover photo (seen left), editorial director of OK magazine Sarah Ivens released the following statement:
“It’s a photo that captures the surprise and the upset and the moment of this breaking news story . . . I hope the cover will provoke readers. It celebrated the man, but it also does expose that he was an eccentric character who lived a very controversial life.”
Take a look at the cover shot and let us know if you think the magazine went too far this time...

That’s right ladies, the eldest Jonas brother is off the market for good after proposing to his girlfriend of 2 years Danielle Deleasa this week.
Kevin surprised Danielle by showing up on her doorstep unexpectedly, dropping to one knee and asking her to marry him.
“She said yes, yes yes like 500 times super fast in a row” Kevin tells PEOPLE.
"It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world.”
The cute couple has not yet set a date, but both families are thrilled with the news of the engagement.
On their Twitter page, Kevin’s younger brothers Joe and Nick wrote the following:
"Congrats big brother.....Dani welcome to the family, we can't wait to have you join us on the road!"
Kevin and Danielle met in May 0f 2007 in the Bahamas while vacationing separately with their families. At the time, Danielle was unaware of Kevin’s fame and it was reportedly Kevin who pursued her.

Bachelorette fans are shocked and disappointed after last night’s episode where Jillian Harris learned that Wes has a girlfriend but chose to keep him over loveable Michael and charming Jesse.
In an eventful 2-hour episode last night fans of the show saw the return of Ed, the technology consultant who voluntarily left the show a few weeks back after given an ultimatum from his boss. Despite being humiliated and embarrassed after being dumped, Jillian decided to give Ed a rose and keep him around for the overnight dates.
Ed wasn’t the only bachelor to return last night. Jake, the adorable pilot who was shockingly sent home last week, came back to tell Jillian that Wes has a girlfriend. Jake was very specific in his confession where he revealed that Wes had a girlfriend named Laurel who he had been dating on and off for quite some time.
Despite Jake’s best effort, Jillian was once again blinded by her love for Wes and decided to trust him (who has openly told the other bachelors and the cameras that he is not there to fall in love but is there to promote his band) and meet his family (who seemed just as stuck up as he is).
In the end, Jillian decided to keep Wes, Kiptyn, Reid and Ed and sent home Michael and Jesse.
We loved both Michael and Jesse but we’re pretty sure Michael is the best candidate for the next bachelor.
If you want to see Michael as the next Bachelor, leave your comments below and, as always, we’ll email them to ABC and try to get him as the next bachelor.
What do you think of Jillian’s decision to keep Wes?

Former Playboy bunny Kendra Wilkinson was the first of Hugh Hefner's 3 girlfriends to find true love outside of the mansion.
This weekend (June 27th to be exact), Kendra married pro football player Hank Baskett in a fairytale wedding at the Playboy mansion.
In attendance were Kendra's former Playboy roomates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt (who were part of the bridal party as Kendra's bridesmaids) and Hugh Hefner who sat and watched while holding onto his three new girlfriends.
Kendra looked stunning in a floor-length extravagent white dress that she had custom-made for the big day. Hank, along with his groomsmen, were dressed all in white to compliment the bride (in white) and the bridesmaids (in lavendar).
While no official photos of the wedding have been released, paparazzi managed to snag a few photos from hovering helicopters.
Take a look at the fairytale wedding and let us know what you think of Kendra's wedding gown and birdesmaid's dresses:

The term Maria Belen Chapur Photos overwhelmed the media yesterday after South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford admitted to having an affair with an Argentine beauty. While Mark himself never released the name of his mistress, South America media sources revealed the woman as 43-year-old Maria Belen Chapur (or Shapur).
Maria's name was the most searched name on the Internet yesterday morning (before the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson) but no one could find a photo of the mystery woman.
Emails sent between Maria and Mark were released to the public but no one could put a face to the words - until now.
Maria Belen Chapur Jenny Sanford

BittenandBound.com has released photos of a woman who they claim to be Maria Belen Chapur. We've posted one photo here but you'll have to go to their site to view the other images.
Is it just us or does Maria look an awful lot like Mark's current wife (ex-wife soon) Jenny Sanford?
Take a look at the photos of above Maria Belen Chapur and Jenny Sanford and let us know if you think they're almost identical!

Today is a sad day for fans, friends and family members of Michael Jackson, 50, who died of cardiac arrest just hours ago, but no one is more shocked and devastated with the news than the music icon's sister Latoya Jackson.
Latoya, who was rushing to Michael's bedside after he had been rushed to the hospital this afternoon, was reportedly sobbing after learning of her brother's death.

The fifth child from the famous Jackson family (there were nine in total), Latoya and her brother Michael had a rocky relationship for many years. After allegations of sexually molesting children, Latoya announced publicly that she agreed that her brother was guilty of these actions. Later, Latoya revealed that she only said those statements because she was under threat and would never have said those words had she not felt endangered and threatened.
Millions of people from all over the world have criticized Michael for the last several years, but today most are focused on the positive impact MJ had on the music industry.
While Michael and Latoya's relationship wasn't always as solid as many brothers and sisters, the two had mended their relationship in the years leading up to his death.
Latoya, along with millions of fans all over the world, will continue to grieve over the shocking loss of the iconic singer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Latoya and the entire Jackson family during this difficult time.

Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels," star who was diagnosed with anal cancer back in 2006 has sadly passed away. She died at St. John's hospital in the ICU at 9:28 this morning, at the young age of 62.
Farrah's best friend, Alana Stewart, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ryan O'Neal were at the bedside during this tragic moment. Redmond, 24, Farrah's only child, was absent.
Redmond was incarcerated on April, 5 of this year, for drug possession but was granted permission to visit his mother on April, 25, to supposedly say his goodbyes.
Ryan O'Neal, who was going to marry Farrah before her death, released this statement, this morning:
"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
In a letter sent to Farrah's 91-year-old father, Fawcett reportedly wrote, “I’ve lived a full and wonderful life. I’ve loved and been loved. I’m happy. I’m ready.”
Farrah Fawcett will be missed by millions.

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is making headlines this morning after admitting to an affair with Buenos Aires beauty Maria Belen Shapur.
While not much has been released of Mark Sanford’s mistress, Argentine media has confirmed she is a 43-year-old mother of two teenage boys who is highly educated and professional. Her business credentials may be high but after news that she’s romancing a married man (the governor of South Carolina to be exact) her integrity and dignity have officially hit rock bottom.
According to news sources, Sanford and Shapur dated online before meeting in person and taking their relationship to the next level. Shapur, divorced, is said to be living in Palermo, an upper middle class region of Buenos Aires, with her two sons.
Sanford released more information regarding their romantic affairs during a press conference yesterday where he admitted to knowing Shapur for eight years but only became romantically involved with her in the past 12 months.
While the fate of his title as Governor of South Carolina is unknown, the fate of his title as a husband is not. After learning of her husband’s affair with Maria Belen (after he lied about going on a "hiking trip" when he was really meeting his mistress for a rendezvous), Sanford’s wife Jenny, asked him to leave.
Finally, a woman who won’t put up with her husband’s BS just to be diplomatic in front of cameras.
Does this remind anyone else of last year’s scandal involving the Governor of New York (Eliot Spitzer) and his prostitute mistress Ashley Dupre?
What is it with politicians these days?
Check out the supposed photos of Maria Belen Shapur at BittenandBound.com.
Also check out photos of Maria next to Jenny Sanford (Mark's current wife) and let us know if you think they look freakishly similar!

Danielle Staub, one of the stars of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," appears to have found herself in the center of a media scandal once again.
Danielle, 46, years and ex-boyfriend, Stephen Zalewski are appearing in court today to battle over, yes, you guessed it, a sex tape. Shocking, we know!
Staub is trying to stop Stephen from selling their porn flick, claiming he's out for revenge after his ego was blown to pieces following their break up (which she obviously initiated).
Danielle claims that she wasn't even aware that she was being filmed (ya right) and is appalled that her ex is contemplating selling the video for cash.
Recently, Zalewski tattled to Star magazine about their bedroom secrets which, ironically, would take place out in public.
“Not only does she want to have sex all the time, but she loves the thrill of doing it in public places, where she might get caught," Zalewski squealed about his classy ex-girlfriend.
The crushed fame whore (yes, a man can be a fame whore – just ask Spencer Pratt) also told Star, "She wanted to make love in restaurant bathrooms basically every time we went out – she’d get all excited and say, ‘The people can hear you doing it outside.’"
And as though dishing the details of their personal affairs wasn’t enough to classify this guy as a total dirt bag, Zalewski finished off by assuring everyone that he has no qualms about cashing in on his wife’s sexual antics:
"I'm definitely weighing my options as far as selling [the tapes] and getting them out there ... She cost me so much money, why shouldn't I make a few dollars?"
Danielle, the mother of two, has filed a lawsuit alleging invasion of privacy, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She wants to clear the title that Steven has given her as being a sex-crazed mother.
Good luck Danielle, we’ve seen the show and you earned that title long before this story surfaced!
Take a look at the photo above and let us know how much you'd pay to see her in action...

Today is the day Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey fans have been waiting for since 2006. Today is the day that reps for both Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have confirmed that the two D-listers are parting ways.
See, we’ve never been a fan of Nick and Vanessa (in fact, we despised them together) and have never lost hope that Nick and Jessica Simpson would reunite. You can imagine how thrilled we were to hear this news this morning!
"They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," Minnillo's rep told PEOPLE.
While we realize that an immediate reunion between Nick and Jess may not be realistic, it’s not out of the question anymore.
Sure, Jess and Tony Romo seem pretty serious about their relationship but give it a few months and Jess might start gravitating back to her ex-husband.
Don’t get us wrong, we love Tony Romo (in fact we actually even like Jess and Tony together) but we’ve always been huge advocates of Jess and Nick.
A little part of us died when Nick and Jess announced they were getting a divorce. This seems like the first step towards a Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson reunion and we couldn’t be happier.
Wonder if Jess will have a comment about their split?
Do you think there’s still hope for Nick and Jessica to get back together?
Take a look at Nick and Jessica during happier times before you make your decision!
