 Obama Dissed For Response To Jackson Death

July 2. 2009

Video: AP Interview: Obama Reflects on Michael Jackson - The Associated Press

 

President Barack Obama was confronted by an interviewer regarding emails she received from black people stating they did not like his lack of a response, on the passing of pop singer, Michael Jackson.

The President reiterated and clarified his statements, sending condolences once again.

President Barack Obama

I somewhat understand why Obama responded the way he did. I also wrote about Jackson's talent, but I too could not help but comment on how sad his life was, in spite of all he achieved in music. It overshadowed everything and is a massive distraction to his accomplishments in music.

The troubles he experienced and the outward manner in which Jackson's psychological trauma manifested itself, in him drastically changing his appearance, damaged his legacy and is very saddening.

Michael Jackson

Even Quincy Jones, his friend, made comments about it in Vogue magazine. The whole thing makes you wonder what was the sense of achieving so much success in the entertainment world, to be miserable in the real world.

Jackson didn't need fame. He needed normalcy in his life.

Obama on MJ: "I Grew Up on His Music"

July 02, 2009 - While some questioned President Barack Obama's lack of a comment after Michael Jackson passed away last week, he says it was just a matter of having someone bring it up.

"Look, you're the first person who's actually asked me about it," he tells the Associated Press.

Obama did add that MJ will "go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. I grew up on his music."

"I still have all his stuff on my iPod," revealed the commander-in-chief.

Obama also recognized that Michael's life wasn't perfect, saying he felt he'd experienced a "tragic and in many ways sad personal life."

Debbie Rowe Wants Michael Jackson's Kids Back

LAPD And DEA On Jackson Case

July 2. 2009

Video: DEA Joins Investigation Into Jackson's Death The Associated Press

 

The Michael Jackson case exploded today with news the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) asked the federal DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) to join the investigation into his early death, his memorial will be held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, wants custody of her two children she gave to him.

Joe and Michael Jackson

As I've covered in other cases on the site, her parental rights cannot be terminated via contract. It is something that would have to be adjudicated in court, based on other grounds.

Debbie Rowe

She has maintained for quite sometime they are her children and Michael is not the father. However, her statements about her children were not emotionally healthy and screams avarice. She basically gave them away for millions of dollars and referred to them as "animals" she gave birth to for Jackson.

If Rowe regained custody, she stands to inherit $250,000,000 via Michael's will in what he left for his children and any and all money that would come from pimping them out in book and television deals, on what life was like living with Michael Jackson.

While, I do agree children should be with their parents, as long as they are of sound mind, Rowe smells cash, I'm sure.

Jackson's Ex-Wife: 'I Want My Kids Back'

11:31pm UK, Thursday July 02, 2009 - Michael Jackson's ex-wife has revealed she plans to fight for custody of the two children she had with the singer.

Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson's ex-wife and mother of two of his children

Debbie Rowe was married to Jackson for three years

Debbie Rowe, who was married to Jackson for three years from 1996, said in an interview: "I want my children."

Ms Rowe said she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA, to prove she was the biological mother of Prince Michael, 12 and Paris, 11.

In her interview with NBC in Los Angeles, Ms Rowe also revealed she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, away from the children...

Megan's Mouth

July 2. 2009

 

Megan Fox

Actress Megan Fox continues to talk her way into a lot of trouble. This week, Transformers movie director, Michael Bay, was on the receiving end of her harsh criticism.

She said Bay does not make movies with real acting in it, trashing his skills as a director. Well, yes, his movies are not really thespian quality, but she is biting the hand that feeds her, as others have stated.

He in turn, politely slammed the actress he made famous after bids in movies such as "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" failed to do the trick. Something bad went down between the two. Did Bay try to bed Megan. Rhetorical question.

Transformers Director Puts Megan Fox in Her Place

July 02, 2009 - Megan Fox is becoming known not only for her ravishing looks, but for the controversial statements that come out of her mouth during interviews.

She’s come under fire for several statements she’s made in the last few weeks, including slamming Scarlett Johansson in Esquire for being “too smart.”

Her latest rant was about Michael Bay, the director for the Transformers franchise, which, by the way, put her on the map. Megan slammed Bay, saying he focuses too much on special effects, and not enough on acting.

Bay was quick to put Megan back in her place, telling the Wall Street Journal, "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.’”

Bay went on to defend his movies, saying, "I 100 percent disagree with her...

As the interview went, it was clear Bay got a little agitated. He said, "Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films." ...

EXCLUSIVE: Megan Fox and Zac Efron's Dinner Date

Jul. 2, 2009 06:00 AM - Did Megan Fox just go on her ultimate dream date? The 23-year-old stunner shared an intimate dinner with Zac Efron on Tuesday night at Pace, an upscale restaurant in Los Angeles' woodsy Laurel Canyon neighborhood, Celebuzz can exclusively report.

A fellow diner revealed, "They were very friendly and their faces were close when they talked."

It's no secret that the Transformers 2 actress has had a thing for the 21-year-old High School Musical heartthrob for quite some time. As we reported back in January, the two flirted at the Golden Globe Awards, raising eyebrows at an after-party.

Megan has even said, "What you don't know is that Zac and I are the same person. It's like Janet and Michael [Jackson], we are the same person." ...

Michael Bay on Megan Fox: 'She still has a lot of growing to do'

Thursday July 02, 2009, 12:06 PM - "Transformers" director Michael Bay is shrugging off Megan Fox's latest, failed attempt at promoting the new sequel, according the Wall Street Journal. Fox, who really should just stick to making red carpet appearances wearing the equivalent of brightly-colored streamers, told the "Early Show" earlier this week that watching "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" in IMAX could give someone a brain aneurysm.

"I'm in the movie, and I read the script, and I watched the movie, and I still didn't know what was happening," she says. "So I think if you haven't read the script and you go and you see it and you understand it, I think you might be a genius." She has also said that she doesn't so much act in the film as run screaming toward the camera.

Bay tells the Wall Street Journal, "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do." ...

Bay also says that he is thinking about making a third 'Transformers' movie, but no word on whether he's interested in rehiring Fox.

Rihanna Broke The Law

July 2. 2009

Rihanna the illegal tattoo artist

According to TMZ, singer Rihanna broke the law in New York, by tattooing three people without a license, which constitutes three misdemeanors. Why did she do that. It was crazy, dangerous and could have resulted in permanent injury and scarring.

 

I've noticed that with these crazy Hollywood cult members, especially Kabbalah, which Rihanna is in and Scientology, which Tom Cruise heads up, they think they can do anything from medicine to nuclear physics, with no training or understanding of complex subjects. They will attempt brain surgery if you're not careful. What a bunch of nutters.

RiRi Breaks Law -- Think Before You Ink!

Posted Jul 2nd 2009 2:30PM by TMZ Staff - Rihanna picked up a tattoo needle last night at a parlor in NYC -- which would be totally fun and cool, if it wasn't also incredibly illegal.

We're told RiRi tattooed three of East Side Ink's artists with umbrellas and the letter R. None of her pet projects cared that she didn't have a license -- but the NYC Law Department does.

They say Rihanna could be slapped with three misdemeanors for the offense, each with its own hefty penalty -- as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third.

Sources say the tattoo shop could also face considerable fines of its own if the NYC Law Dept. decides to open an investigation.

UPDATE: The NYC Health Department just told TMZ: "Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City's Health Code. We are sending someone down to follow up on this."

Obama On The Urgency Of Healthcare Reform

 July 1. 2009

Video: Obama: 'Not Too Soon' to Move on Health Care - The Associated Press

 

President Barack Obama gave a speech on the urgency of healthcare reform in America. Some have labeled his approach to healthcare socialist, while others are in agreement with him that change is needed.

The government should be cautious, once again, regarding overspending. The nation simply cannot afford it at the present time and pressing up more money to pay for new initiatives will have other unintended consequences to the already battered economy.


Obama Signed Anti-Smoking Legislation

July 1. 2009

 

President Barack Obama signed anti-smoking legislation at the White House on June 22, 2009, aimed at protecting kids from nicotine. Obama, a self-confessed smoker, has cut back on his nicotine habit, with the aim of cutting it out all together. The President also stated he does not smoke in front of his family.

And well he shouldn't. Someone in his family, like his wife, could be predisposed to cancer and smoking would wreak havoc on their cells.

Protecting Our Children from the Dangers of Smoking

The President expressed his appreciation for Senator Ted Kennedy above all today. Lamenting that the senator could not be there for the signing of Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, he called it "change that's been decades in the making." By all accounts, it is the strongest measure protecting children from the dangers of smoking to date -- read the fact sheet for all of the details.

He recounted the all-too-familiar statistics: that more than 400,000 Americans now die of tobacco-related illnesses each year; that more than 8 million Americans suffer from at least one serious illness caused by smoking; and that almost 90% of all smokers began at or before their 18th birthday.

He spoke on his personal experience:

I know -- I was one of these teenagers, and so I know how difficult it can be to break this habit when it's been with you for a long time. And I also know that kids today don't just start smoking for no reason. They're aggressively targeted as customers by the tobacco industry. They're exposed to a constant and insidious barrage of advertising where they live, where they learn, and where they play. Most insidiously, they are offered products with flavorings that mask the taste of tobacco and make it even more tempting.

We've known about this for decades, but despite the best efforts and good progress made by so many leaders and advocates with us today, the tobacco industry and its special interest lobbying have generally won the day up on the Hill. When Henry Waxman first brought tobacco CEOs before Congress in 1994, they famously denied that tobacco was deadly, nicotine was addictive, or that their companies marketed to children. And they spent millions upon millions in lobbying and advertising to fight back every attempt to expose these denials as lies.

Fifteen years later, their campaign has finally failed. Today, thanks to the work of Democrats and Republicans, health care and consumer advocates, the decades-long effort to protect our children from the harmful effects of tobacco has emerged victorious. Today, change has come to Washington.

This legislation will not ban all tobacco products, and it will allow adults to make their own choices. But it will also ban tobacco advertising within a thousand feet of schools and playgrounds. It will curb the ability of tobacco companies to market products to our children by using appealing flavors. It will force these companies to more clearly and publicly acknowledge the harmful and deadly effects of the products they sell. And it will allow the scientists at the FDA to take other common-sense steps to reduce the harmful effects of smoking.

This legislation is a victory for bipartisanship, and it was passed overwhelmingly in both Houses of Congress. It's a victory for health care reform, as it will reduce some of the billions we spend on tobacco-related health care costs in this country. It's a law that will reduce the number of American children who pick up a cigarette and become adult smokers. And most importantly, it is a law that will save American lives and make Americans healthier.

Making clear that this legislation does not represent the end of the road on fighting back the health risks of smoking, the President nonetheless described it as another very significant sign of change in Washington:

Despite the influence of the credit card industry, we passed a law to protect consumers from unfair rate hikes and abusive fees. Despite the influence of banks and lenders, we passed a law to protect homeowners from mortgage fraud. Despite the influence of the defense industry, we passed a law to protect taxpayers from waste and abuse in defense contracting. And today, despite decades of lobbying and advertising by the tobacco industry, we've passed a law to help protect the next generation of Americans from growing up with a deadly habit that so many of our generation have lived with.

As always, get more information on tobacco and your health from HHS and the FDA, including new widgets out today.

Michael Jackson's Will Mentions Diana Ross

July 1. 2009

 

Michael Jackson wearing a Kabablah red string bracelet, as he often did, after joining the cult

All the details of deceased singer Michael Jackson's finances were not made available to the public, but a few items relating to his published will were announced. He is believed to have a net worth of $500,000,000.

Jackson designated his mother guardian of his children and if she was unable to perform the task, he wanted long time friend and former lover, Diana Ross, to take care of his children.

Ross has known Jackson for many years and was falsely credited with discovering his family's band, The Jackson Five, as a publicity ploy.

Two of Michael Jackson's three children he did not father or formally adopt

Jackson is believed to have performed the song "Dirty Diana" about Diana Ross as well as the video "Who Is It?" (during a scene in the video, a woman carries a card that says "Diana"). Both recordings are about a former lover that was unfaithful to him.

Michael Jackson at age 11

Side Bar: so, when will the Freedom Of Information Act requests on Michael Jackson begin at the FBI. He is deceased and as such, the records have to be made available upon request. With the tumultuous life he led, I can only image what's in that FBI file.

Jackson’s Will Filed: Diana Ross Named as Possible Guardian Jackson’s Will

Posted on Jul 01, 2009 @ 12:31PM - According to his will filed Wednesday with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Michael Jackson entrusted guardianship of his children to his mother Katherine (with Diana Ross nominated as guardian if Katherine is unable to fulfill her duties) and left all of his assets in a trust fund.

The five-page document, which was signed in July 7, 2002, named his longtime lawyer John Branca, music executive and friend John McClain and Barry Siegel as executors of the will. It also left out any consideration for the mother of his first two children Debbie Rowe...

Megan Fox Lied About Being Single

July 1. 2009

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf

Angelina Jolie wannabe actress, Megan Fox, was spotted with her alleged ex-fiancé, actor Brian Austin Green. They shared a romantic weekend together in Las Vegas, Nevada on the West Coast of America, which will break quite a few hearts.

Megan only conveniently became single right before the movie sequel to "Transformers" was released. The hope was the air of availability would help sell movie tickets. 

Right after the film went to number one, selling $109 million dollars in ticket sales for the weekend, they were mysteriously back together again.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green

In other news, Fox News claimed actress Angelina Jolie does not want Megan Fox reprising her role as "Lara Croft" in the "Tomb Raider" movie series, citing Megan's lack of acting ability. Ouch!

New Details About Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green’s Weekend Getaway

Posted on Jun 30, 2009 @ 02:41PM - As they continue to skirt around whether or not they’re back together (and if Shia is more than just a co-star and friend), Megan Fox and former fiance Brian Austin Green enjoyed a wonderful weekend away in Sin City. RadarOnline.com has the full play-by-play of their trip including their discreet public displays of affection.

Arriving at The Palazzo Las Vegas around 3 a.m., the duo quickly met up with Fox’s sister and brother-in-law who were in town from Florida and retired to their suite. Hours later on Sunday, the group had lunch at Mexican hotspot Dos Caminos where Fox’s sibling picked up the check!

“Brian was in shorts and Megan was in skinny jeans and heels. She was wearing big sunglasses but took them off when they sat down. They were in a cabana in the restaurant and had us turn the TV to the Dodgers/Marlins game,” a worker told RadarOnline.com. “Megan had tuna ceviche for an appetizer and then she and her sister had the pescada tacos (fish) and the guys had the asada tacos (beef). Megan’s sister picked up the check and it was $100 and she tipped $20. They all looked like they were having a lot of fun laughing and joking around.”...

Romance Brewing for Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf?

Fueling rumors they're following up their on-screen romance with one off-screen, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf were spotted getting close last week at a dinner in New York.

The "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" stars reportedly sat side-by-side at the restaurant Nobu Thursday night with several other film industry notables, including Oliver Stone, according to the Daily News...

"They definitely seemed into each other," the witness said, adding that when Fox left at 10 p.m., LaBeouf followed right behind.

Earlier last week, the paper reported the co-stars were spotted at a Rose's bash in West Hollywood.

"Shia couldn't keep his eyes off of Megan," an unnamed source said. "He literally watched her like a hawk all night."

Lindsay Lohan Slams Middle America

July 1. 2009

 

One time actress, Lindsay Lohan, who is not gainfully employed, slammed singer Justin Timberlake's clothing line. She said on her Twitter page and in her case the title applies, as she is a twit, "I can't believe you are lowering yourselves to Macy's brand...Paris is chic not mid America. Gross" Gross?

How ironic that "mid America" meaning middle America bought her movie tickets, when she had a job. They won't anymore. You seem to think quite a lot of yourself, looking down your cocaine caked nose at people.

Furthermore, what do you know about fashion. You constantly go around Hollywood granting the appearance soap and water have eluded you for a year. Your clothes are often ill-coordinated, vulgar and in very poor taste. Stylish you are not.


Jay-Z Blacklisting Chris Brown

July 1. 2009

Rihanna and Chris Brown

Rapper Jay-Z has blacklisted singer Chris Brown, in a nasty industry practice that is not only unlawful, but pathetic. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, is alleged to have done so, because Brown got into a fist fight with singer Rihanna, who both men have actively slept with, even during the former's current marriage to yodeler, Beyonce.

Chris Brown

First of all, who is Jay-Z to do something like that. His record sales are inflated, his songs artificially made hits by payola, his material is largely stolen and venues he plays do not sell well. His career has descended into absolute fakery.

He needs to focus on that instead of what fellow woman beater Chris Brown is doing. He also needs to step back and appreciate the hypocrisy of this phony, self-righteous stance, considering he has hit women like Beyonce and others as well.

Jay-Z

Side Bar: By the way, why is Jay-Z cursing in Jamaican on his new foul single "Death of Autotune." The software Autotune is mostly used by singers with poor voices, you know, like his sex partner, Rihanna. Therefore, why is Jay-Z, a rapper, slamming it. Because of T "no teeth" Pain.

Williams Thinks Chris Brown Is 'Finished'

Chris Brown: Finished. Listen, Mike! My hopes for any sort of comeback was for the Michael Jackson tribute at the BET Awards, but from what I understand, Jay-Z didn't even want him in the building. I think everyone will forget about it (the Rihanna beating), but everyone will forget him too. Here it is, pop culture forgets everything. If Chris Brown wanted to make an immediate comeback, the BET Awards was the way to do it. He does have a chance to get back in and do something, but he has to have a spec-tacular party song. It's gotta be good for hip-hop and Top 40, for all colors and all ages.

Usher's Wife Claims They Had Sex Last Month...

Therefore, They Were Not Living Apart For A Year

July 1. 2009

Usher's Estranged Wife Disputes His Divorce Claims, Says They Had Sex June 6

June 30, 2009 05:50 PM EST | AP - ATLANTA — The wife of R&B singer Usher was surprised when the entertainer filed for divorce earlier this month and claims the two were intimate less than a week before he moved to end the marriage, according to court documents.

Tameka Raymond, 38, disputes Usher's claims the couple have been separated since July 2008. She said in court documents filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court that she "had every reason to believe her marriage was intact" and that two were "intimately together as husband and wife as recently as June 6."

Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, filed for divorce June 12, claiming there is "no reasonable hope of reconciliation" and the marriage is "irretrievably broken." He is seeking joint custody of the couple's two sons, 1 1/2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 6-month-old Naviyd Ely Raymond.

Tameka Raymond has three children from a previous marriage. She said through her divorce attorney, Randy Kessler, that she has been a faithful wife and loving mother during the marriage.

In Monday's filing, Tameka Raymond asked a judge to ensure that Usher continues to support his family while the divorce works its way through the courts, including paying her legal fees...
