If I were a fan of MJ who’s lucky enough to have tickets, I wouldn't exchange it for anything because time will come these tickets will be high-valued collector's items. The ticket itself was designed by Michael Jackson himself and was specifically printed using "lenticular process" that made those tickets have a "3D look". All tickets can be refunded until August 14. For more info about the Michael Jackson Ticket refund news, you can read it in Variety.

Katherine Jackson - Michael Jackson's Mom Gets Custody of His Children

A Supreme Court judge finally approved Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's mom, as the legal guardian who will take custody of his three children Prince Michael (12 years old), Paris Michael Katherine Jackson (11 years old) and Prince Michael II (7 years old). How old is Katherine Jackson? She's 79 years old and now she's filing an appeal to have legal control over the pop icon's real estate in order to protect his legacy.
Michael Jackson with mom Katherine
Albeit a "temporary" guardianship was granted, Katherine Jackson's intention "to marshal assets of the decedent for the exclusive use of the decedent's three children — her grandchildren — after payment of debts and expenses of administration" is still yet to be studied in scheduled hearings between July 6 and August 3. By then, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff might come to a decision too to grant MJ's mom the permanent custody. The court granted Mrs. Jackson the custody for the reason that the children "have a long established relationship with paternal grandmother and are comfortable in her care." Michael Jackson's father Joe will only be supporting Mrs. Jackson to administer the estate left by the King of Pop.

Keishla is Miss Puerto Rico Petite 2008 and is now stripped of her title because of "intolerable conduct" which involved her "threatening and assaulting pageant staff".

Paul Erdos - Web Comic Poke Fun at Recent Math Regents

Paul Erdos (sometimes Erdős or Erdös) is a Hungarian mathematician who gained fame from his prolific essays and papers concerning numbers. For a person who only loved numbers, scientists coined the term "Erdos number" to pertain to a "collaborative distance" comparing a person to Erdos himself in authoring mathematical papers. The web comic XKCD used the "Paul Erdos" term to pertain to a student who took so long to finishing the recent Math Regents exams.
Paul Erdos XKCD Joke
No wonder, search engines was spiced up with searches "who is paul erdos" because of this joke. It seems most people do not know who Paul Erdos was. Here's Paul Erdos Wikipedia page for you and here's the XKCD web Comics which used the Paul Erdos joke to spice up the search engines.

Jammie Thomas-Rasset Woman Fined for $1.9M for Downloading 24 Songs!

Jammie Thomas-Rasset, a resident of Brianerd, Minnesota, may now be regretting not paying 99 cents each for the 24 songs she illegally downloaded over the Internet before! Because now, the court wants her to pay $80,000 for each song - all of them summing up to $1.92 million! This is actually the second trial for the 32 year old mother of four when another federal jury ordered her to pay up $222,000 for violating music copyrights in 2007.
Jammie Thomas Rasset - Minnesota Woman Fined $1.92M for Illegal Song Download
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) accused Jammie Thomas for the illegal file sharing of 1,700 songs by Gloria Estefan, Sheryl Crow, Green Day, Journey and other recording artists. The proof was found when they identified Jammie's computer hooked up with a peer-to-peer network Kazaa - under the screen name "tereastarr". Jammie Thomas-Rasset acknowledged that "tereastarr" was indeed her because she used that nickname for years in her e-mails and MySpace page. This news report might just scare off other file sharers today as the recording industry claims that it loses millions of sales each year because of illegal downloads and file sharing!

James Archuleta Busted - David Archuleta's Father in Trouble (VIDEO)

We would certainly not see American Idol David Archuleta's smile this time when he hears the scandal about his father. It appears that James Jeffrey Archuleta was busted in a massage parlor for you-know-what. The attorney of the 47 year old Archuleta explained that James Archuleta was just caught in "a wrong place at a wrong time" - he was fined $582 in Midvale, Utah. It happened that the authorities just raided a massage parlor for its lack of business permit, but they found James Archuleta in an "inappropriate" position with his masseuse.
James Archuleta Busted in Midvale
James Archuleta filed "no contest" on his charges. David Archuleta's father gained fame after he constantly egged on David (appearing short of becoming a "stage father") during the American Idol Season 7, where David Cook won. Below is the video about the James Archuleta being busted in Midvale:

Robin Hibbard Pregnant and Brooke Labarbera from Real World

Robin Hibbard gained fame as one of the contestants in the MTV reality show The Real World: San Diego. The 29 year old Tampa resident and former Coyote Ugly Saloon dancer was confirmed to be pregnant last month. And a news item reveal that pregnant Robin Hibbard is due to give birth on June 2009! I guess Robin is due anytime this month and that's why the Robin Hibbard pregnant keyword is pumping up the search engines today.
Robin Hibbard Pregnant - Is Robin Giving Birth Today
Another related term rising up is "Brooke from Real World". This term pertains to another MTV Real World contestant Brooke Labarbera. Who's really pregnant? Is Brooke from Real World pregnant or is Robin Hibbard pregnant giving birth today? I'll figure that out later so keep posted!

Morgan Freeman Granddaughter - Is Morgan Having an Affair with His Granddaughter?

I can't seem to find the reason why Morgan Freeman granddaughter is rising up in the search engines. Maybe people just wanna know who she is. Well, Morgan Freeman has two granddaughters (at least search engines say so) - E'dena Hines and Alexis. E'dena was photographed with Morgan Freeman when they attended the world premiere of the Dark Knight in July last year. Newspapers even misspelled her name to "Edina". On the other hand, another Morgan Freeman granddaughter is named Alexis, who he brought to the Batman Begins premiere in 2005.
Morgan Freeman granddaughter Edena Hines
Morgan Freeman granddaughter Alexis
I guess I'll figure out later why Morgan Freeman granddaughter keyword is spicing up the search engines. I will post updates, if anything, later.

Update: Whoa! I found that probable cause of the search spike - IamJayWill twittered that Morgan Freeman is a "nasty boy" because he "had an affair with his... granddaughter".

The granddaughter Morgan allegedly had affair with is E'dena, who's now 27. It was revealed that they had a secret relationship since she was a teen. E'dena is reportedly a "step granddaughter", so she's not a blood relative really.

This report is still unverified - maybe just a nasty rumor has come out. Hope that it's not true - too gross!

Chace Crawford Peoples Hottest Bachelor

In the People.com website, they published some excerpts about their interview with the Footloose star - like his first kiss occurred when he was on fifth grade -- it's the twin sister of his best friend! According to Chace too, the ingredients of a perfect date would be "a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation". Girls would certainly be surperised that Chace right now is "not looking for a girlfriend". He also revealed that it was "awesome" dating American Idol winner Carrie Underwood. Chace was even cool answering the "gay rumor" between him and Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick. About the People's Hottest Bachelor rankings, here's the complete list:
  1. Chace Crawford
  2. Chris Pine

Sacha Baron Cohen A.K.A. Bruno Covers for GQ

For all the promotional stunts Sacha Baron Cohen is doing for his new film Bruno, he surely is expecting it to have a humongous ticket sales when the movie is shown on July 10. Latest is that Sacha Baron Cohen is now on the cover of the July issue of GQ magazine baring all his - uh - glory. GQ proclaims this is the first time they had a subject without anything on – Bruno even upstaged Jennifer Aniston who wore a necktie in their January issue.

In the film Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen plays this Austrian model who wants to make it big in America. This is a mockumentary similar to his 2006 sleeper hit Borat. I guess of all those stunts, including his bum being pushed towards rapper Eminem's face, Sacha Baron Cohen indeed wants to tell us that he desperately invites viewers to watch his new movie.

The secret's out! At least, it ends all speculations - American Idol Season 8 Runner Up Adam Lambert finally publicly admitted that he's GAY. Although nothing is really shocking after those racy pictures of him in drag came out while he was on Idol, his boyfriend Drake LaBry surfacing up and lately Kara DioGuardi declaring about that fact, there's no one left to confirm his preferences but Adam Lambert himself! In his exclusive Rolling Stone interview, the 27 year old upcoming singer was quoted saying that: “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay”
Adam Lambert Admits He's Gay on Rolling Stone
What the juicy thing is that Rolling Stone asked how he felt when he was assigned with Kris Allen as a room mate. Adam, without qualms, answered that: "They put me with the cute guy. Distracting! He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100% straight." Whoa! That's explains Adam obviously did not feel bad losing to his "crush" in American Idol. Seeing the cover itself, if that's not gay - then I don't know what is! Below is a video of Adam Lambert's Rolling Stone Cover Shoot:

Emilie de Ravin - Robert Pattinson's New Leading Lady

Any girl who's linked to Robert Pattinson will surely be a hot topic, next in line will be Emilie de Ravin! If you're a Lost fan, you'll surely not miss Emilie as she played Claire Littleton there, the real mom of Kate's baby, Aaron! Now, Emilie de Ravin is set to exchange saliva with R-Pattz in a new movie, Remember Me, where they will be joined in by Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper. No, they won't be joining the salivary exchange - but Cooper and Brosnan will play father roles to Emilie de Ravin and Rob Pattinson.
Robert Pattinson's New Leading Lady - Emilie de Ravin
Remember Me will be a far cry to Rob Pattinson's vampiric streaks in the Twilight series, but it has an equally "dark" plot. R-Pattz will play a young lad caught up with his brother's loss that his life will go downward spiral. Emilie, on the other hand, will play a girl who suffered the same fate with a family member and she helps R-Pattz's character cope with his issues. Robert Pattinson fanatics will surely be digging his new roles as he molds up his versatility as an actor.

Eithne Wallis Riverdance - Eithne Walls Was on Air France Flight 447

There's a dearth of information about the search term "Eithne Wallis Riverdance". It turns out it should read "Eithne Walls", not "Eithne Wallis". A dancer and a doctor, Eithne Walls was a passenger in the fated Air France Flight 447 bound for France from Brazil. As a member of the prestigious Riverdance, 28 year old Eithne had the opportunity to work for one year in Broadway, New York then proceeded to pursue her dreams of becoming a doctor. Eithne Walls of Ballygowan, Co Down was one of three Irish women who boarded the Air France flight which disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean.
Eithne Wallis Riverdance - Eithne Walls Tribute
The family of Eithne Walls was deeply saddened about the fate of the Air France flight. They issued a statement saying that: "Eithne was an extraordinary person who brought light to the lives of everyone she touched. She was beautiful in every way, especially of spirit. She had a passion for life that permeated, enlivened and enriched those around her". We hope that the Air France Flight 447 will be found in the soonest time to ease the grief felt by the families of the 228 passengers who boarded the flight.
