Rumours about the biological parents of Michael Jackson's three children have deepened, with US Weekly saying that a Los Angeles-based dermatologist is the biological father of the late pop star's two children.Quoting multiple sources, the magazine reported on Tuesday that though Jackson was married to Prince and Paris' mother, Debbie Rowe, their biological father is Arnold Klein, Jackson's Los Angeles-based dermatologist and Rowe's former boss.
"He is the dad," the magazine quoted a Jackson insider as saying. "He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth."Though neither Rowe nor Jackson ever confessed to their kids' true lineage, she did admit in 2002 that she carried his children as a personal favour and would not confirm that the marriage was ever consummated, the weekly said.
"I said: Let me do this. You need to be a dad. You have been so good to me," Rowe was quoted as saying.Rowe first met Jackson when she was a nurse's assistant in the 1980s.The magazine said Klein refused to comment on whether he is the biological father of Jackson's two children.
But his attorney Richard L Charnley has been quoted as telling Entertainment Tonight: "Dr Klein is aware of media reports connecting him to Michael Jackson. Because of patient confidentiality Dr Klein will make no statement on any reports or allegations.
"Out of respect for his patients and adherence to federal HIPAA regulations, Dr Klein asks that the media not contact his patients nor interfere with their medical treatments. Like millions of Michael's fans around the world, Dr Klein is saddened by Michael's death and extends his condolences to Michael's family."
While Preity Zinta is still trying hard to stick together the broken pieces of her heart, her ex-flame Ness Wadia seems to have moved on with a great aplomb, for the business tycoon was recently seen in the company of Delhi based Ayesha Thapar, the heiress of Thapar Industries.
According to news report, Ness Wadia, who was also lying low after failed relationship with Preity, was recently spotted at a party with Ayesha Thapar and the duo was certainly looking great together. Sources say that Ness and Ayesha showed off their camaraderie without any apprehension.
Apparently, the buzz about Ness and Ayesha’s growing proximity gained momentum after Ayesha (who was married to a foreigner) announced her separation.Well, all one can say is – that was quick Ness! Guess it’s time for Preity to take a cue as well. Move on!
A dumb girl who has trouble controlling her emotions, she is hysterical and others find her over-blown problems funny. So much for this young actress, but don’t get shocked. This is only Katrina’s character sketch in one of her forthcoming movies.
Katrina Kaif portrays a young, clueless catholic girl who is from Mumbai. She gets too emotional at times, suffers from hysteria, gives herself too much importance and all her problems seem big to her while others simply laugh at it. In a nutshell, she plays a stupid, superficial character in the comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani , where she is paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor .
Well, director Rajkumar Santoshi has put her to the ultimate litmus test as it wasn’t easy for Katrina to act like a silly, dumb person who is capable of evoking laughter. Though Katrina’s career graph shows many hit comedies, the actress still has to prove that she’s got a few funny bones in her hot bod.
And since comedy is a serious business, Kat did have her share of troubles while enacting the character. But Santoshi drew examples from his yesteryear superhit, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, and taught her comic acts that even involved rolling her eyes.On the contrary, Ranbir who has acting in his blood, working in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ was a smooth sail. He plays a boy with a good heart but clumsy actions. He stumbles, he staggers and that makes him humorous. As reported, his character is “a satirical synthesis of Raj Kapoor’s ‘Awara’ and Charlie Chaplin’s ‘City Lights’.”
The leaked results of Michael Jackson's autopsy are truly shocking. Jackson was emaciated, bald, covered in scars and dotted with needle tracks.
As The Sun reports from London on the results of Michael Jackson's autopsy:
"THE horrifying state of pop superstar Michael Jackson in his final days can be revealed by The Sun today. Harrowing leaked autopsy details show the singer was a virtual skeleton — barely eating and with only pills in his stomach at the time he died. His hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds — believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years. And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations.
More than just this, the autopsy report that has been leaked showed that the bridge to his nose had vanished and the right side of it collapsed. What is truly odd though is that despite being in this state Jackson had been recovering well from skin cancer, the operation to deal with that seems to have worked.
Other British newspapers have carried more of the story about the results of the autopsy on Jackson:
"Michael Jackson was emaciated, virtually bald, covered in needle scars and had only pills in his stomach when he died, according to an autopsy report.
There has to be thought that some of those around him, some of his entourage, were if not encouraging him in this behavior, at least enabling him. Michael Jackson was 5 foot 10 inches tall but at the time of his death weighed only 112 pounds: that just isn't healthy at all. The only things in his stomach were partially dissolved plls and he had lost nearly all his hair, having nothing but a "peach fuzz" left. What we saw in public was a wig.
And as that autposy report shows, Michael Jackson had been receiving pain killing injections for some time:
"His hips, thighs and shoulders were pock-marked with needle wounds, believed to be the legacy of narcotic painkillers being injected three times a day.
If these injections were indeed Demerol then this bolsters the possibility that he died of an overdose: for those who have built up tolerance to the drug the gap between a pain relieving dose and a fatal dose is very small. And if that is true then the possibility that Michael Jackson could have been saved rises once again.
The conclusion of these leaks from Jackson's autopsy seems to be that:
"Sources close to the Jackson camp said fans would be shocked by the autopsy findings. 'He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died,' one source told the newspaper. 'Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for years.' 'His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay.'
Sadly this seems unlikely. Jackson's records are heading to the top of the charts again all over the world. The entourage will be able to absorb the cash inflow from that but without Michael Jackson to spend the money faster than it comes in. Far from their paying, it looks like they'll profit.
For decades, he went to extraordinary lengths to shroud his family life in secrecy.Now with his passing, photographs of the troubled star are emerging online that give a remarkable insight into his world.These personal photos show a far more normal father and man than any of his bizarre showbusiness appearances of recent years.
In public, he has appeared masked, in a wheelchair or pyjama-clad with dark classes –looking ever more eccentric and grotesque. If his children were in tow then their faces have always been veiled or covered by strange masks.But in this personal collection of photographs, which appear to have been taken over the last six years, Jackson seemed happier behind closed doors.
In one shot, the star poses smiling in a red T-shirt decorated with an iconic image of him from the early 1980s.The picture is not dated but is believed to have been taken five years ago before the star was ravaged by anorexia.In another collection of images, Jackson sits cuddling his two eldest children Prince Michael Jr, 12 and Paris, 11 in 2003 at a children’s party.
The star looks like any proud father as his little girl, dressed in a Disney-style princess costume dress, sits on his knee.Draped over his shoulders, eldest son Prince Michael is wearing a skeleton costume and sporting shocking bottle blond hair.For years, Jackson had dyed the boy’s hair white blond, prompting critics to question whether the star was taking his obsession with being ‘white’ too far by pushing the Aryan look on to his children.
More recent pictures show that the elder children have dark hair but remarkably light skin and blue eyes, which is rare for the offspring of a mixed race relationship.Their colouring has prompted questions over whether Jackson is actually their father.In pictures taken from the same party, Jackson and his children are allegedly pictured with the children of close friends Al and Nancy Malnik.
Henkel India has appointed film actor Bipasha Basu as the brand ambassador for its recently launched Fa Men Xtreme range. Basu will feature in all the Fa Men Xtreme commercials. This is one of the few associations where a female celebrity is used to endorse men’s products. Another such example is Priyanka Chopra, who endorses J Hampstead, the worsted fabric brand from Siyaram Silk Mills.
Kambakkht Ishq is a forthcoming Indian Bollywood film directed by Sabbir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film, a remake of the 2002 Tamil film Pammal K. Sambandam, will feature Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in pivotal roles along with actors Aftab Shivdasani and Amrita Arora in supporting roles. Hollywood actors Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh will be appearing in cameos, reportedly playing themselves. Originally scheduled to release in December 2008, the film was postponed due to extensive production work and is now slated for a release on July 3, 2009.
While everybody is going ga-ga about New York and John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu specially flew to Mumbai to watch her boyfriend’s performance in New York, there was no sign of Katrina’s man Salman at the premiere of the flick.
"A close friend of Katrina says, “It really puzzles and hurts her why Salman chooses to ignore all her films. It isn’t as if he doesn’t watch any films.He does. But when it comes to Katrina, he seems to suffer from a mental block. He won’t see her films.”
"She doesn’t miss any of Salman’s films. Whether it’s a premiere or just a regular screening, Katrina is always there to support anything that Salman does.”
Apparently Salman cannot handle when it when his beautiful girlfriend Katrina romances her co-star onscreen and this is the reason why he stays away from watching her movies.
Mallika Sherawat has found a fan in legendary Greek musician Yanni, who dedicated his new song Changes to the one of a kind Haryanavi beauty during a sold out concert in Los Angeles.Mallika wrote on her Twitter account that this experience was ''awesome! In front of 7000 screaming fans at the Nokia theatre, Yanni said his song Changes was for Mallika!''The 35-year-old actress, who is in LA for the post-production of her film Hisss, could not stop gushing about the honour.
Seems like the very popular amongst girls’, actor Salman Khan is tired of the cold war going on between him and Shah Rukh Khan. Salman Khan, in his recent interview said that he doesn’t mind working with Shah Rukh Khan in films. Does this statement mean that he is ready to start a fresh friendship with Shah Rukh Khan? The duo have not been on talking terms with each other ever since their fight at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party last year. However, Salman Khan seems to be giving small but confusing hints to his fans about his intentions of patching up with Shah Rukh Khan. Hints like not having problem to work with Shah Rukh Khan in a film and at the same time saying that his friendship with Shah Rukh Khan is in god’s hand are too confusing for the public to interpret his intentions of trying or not trying to patch up with Shah Rukh Khan.
It is also heard that in his show Dus Ka Dum 2, Salman Khan has been inviting celebrities like Karishma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Farah Khan and other who are close to Shah Rukh Khan. So is it that he is finding excuses to keep in touch with Shah Rukh Khan indirectly. All this and more…Take a look!
Another special guest episode of ‘10 Ka Dum’ will be telecast this Saturday. Mallika Sherawat and boxing champ Vijender Singh, the two jats, will show their quirky side on the show.
When Salman came to know that Mallika has started taking cooking classes, he immediately asked for some dough on the sets and asked Mallika if she can make round chapatis. To compete with her, Salman too tried his hand on belan. However, boxer Vijender who fights several rounds in a boxing ring was unable to roll a round roti.
But the Olympic champion Singh proved that he can sing and he dedicated a Haryanvi song to Mallika. Both of them belong to Haryana and were very comfy with each other on the sets. They even shook their leg on the show.If Mallika confessed her single status, Vijender confirmed that he’s booked. And when Mallika said to the audience that she’s heard Salman is also ‘single’, he was very quick to answer ‘no’ (expected).
Shahid Kapur is promoting the idea of safe-sex in his forthcoming film KAMINEY.

Dee darlin’ has been having a whale of a time aaj kal. Deepika Padukone’s been totally living it up... but not with her loverboy, Ranbir Kapoor.Hmmm...do you smell a chance of some hot rumour here? Sorry to disappoint you dearies, but there isn’t a third angle to this story yet. Deepika is very much in Ranbir’s arms, and this couple (touchwood) seems to have eyes only for each other. Well, we’re actually talking about Deepika having fun with a bunch of girlies. Yeah, recently she called her childhood friends from Bangalore to spend time with her in Mumbai.
The gals hung out with Dee on her sets, while she quickly wrapped up work to make the most of her time with her pals. Deepika has a dozen dosts in the industry, but she’s still so rooted to where she comes from. And her non-filmi friends are top priority in her life. We wonder what Ranbir thinks about this ‘dostana’. We’re telling you, dude, you gotta be wary. Wink, wink!

Michael Jackson, shortly before his death was shooting a video in L.A. for his upcoming tour, which turned out to be his last shoot. Read more about the story while checking out photos and video here.Michael Jackson died today (June 25, 2009) at the age of 50. He suffered a cardiac arrest in the early afternoon at his Bel-Air mansion, according to TMZ.com. 911 was called by one of Jackson’s employees at his home, and by the time paramedics arrived on the scene the pop legend already had no pulse.
He was unable to be revived. After being taken to UCLA Medical Center they attempted to resuscitate him, but were unsuccessful once again.Witnesses at the hospital told the gossip site that there was “absolute chaos” after Michael arrived.La Toya Jackson dashed into the hospital crying after she learned the news of her brother’s death.
The pop icon will be sadly missed by his legions of fans, and was survived by three children: Paris Jackson, Michael Joseph Jackson, and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.TMZ got a hold of the Michael Jackson pictures from his last video shoot in L.A. that were taken while he was filming a video for his upcoming tour. In the pictures Mike is dancing on a table, graciously talking to his fans, and kicking it with the crew.
Michael Jackson believes he won’t be around long enough to see his children grow up with his deadly disease. Jackson is reportedly asking his sister Janet Jackson to raise his three children when he’s gone.Michael seems to think he won’t be around for long and is concerned about his three young children. He seems to feel sister Janet would be the best with his children.
“Please raise my kids, Janet. You’re the only one left I trust!”“Michael feels the end is near,” a family friend told the Enquirer. “He’s terrified that if he dies, his children will end up with his aging parents or his brothers.”“He knows Janet will give his kids a mother’s love and see that they grow up away from the showbiz spotlight.”Michael Jackson, 50, has Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 10 from his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe. But Prince Michael II called “Blanket” was adopted in 2002.
“Michael is in bad shape,” a friend stated. “He has respiratory problems, heart palpitations, is losing weight rapidly and is now worried that he may have contracted the killer flesh-eating disease. He has begged Janet to look after the kids.”It’s said that his health issues started soon after his last plastic surgery.
“He’s been visiting a Beverly Hills clinic receiving antibiotics through an intravenous drip,” disclosed the pal. “Michael has difficulty walking, often has to use a wheelchair and spends most of his days in bed, at the doctor’s office or in the bathroom.“His sole companion is his longtime nanny Grace Rwaramba. Michael knows Grace loves the kids, but doesn’t think she can cope with them on her own.
“Debbie, mother of Prince and Paris, has been out of the children’s lives and only sees them rarely. Janet sees them all the time and is more like a mother to them than anyone.”“Family members have offered to help, but he’s afraid of the children being exploited. The only family member he trusts is Janet.”This is very sad if Michael Jackson’s health problems are accurate.
Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50.
The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.
Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.His 1982 album "Thriller" — which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" — remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies.
He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters.His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.
As years went by, he became an increasingly freakish figure — a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grownup life. His skin became lighter and his nose narrower. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while traveling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him. The case took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.
Jackson was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13. He was in rehearsals in Los Angeles for the concert, an extravaganza that was to capture the classic Jackson magic: showstopping dance moves, elaborate staging and throbbing dance beats.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital as word of his death spread. The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson's rented home, was roped off with police tape."Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Jackson has just died," a woman boarding a Manhattan bus called out, shortly after the news was annunced. Immediately many riders reached for their cell phones.
In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone."No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend sent to his telephone. "It's like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died."
Oh What am I hearing now?! The two warring Khans are together again and good friend Farah is responsible for bringing them together. After all the public display of anger at Katrina's birthday bash, news of them coming together on a project seems not litte strange. But apparently Farah has made it possible.
Farah, who spends more time judging reality shows these days is set to host a talk show which will feature Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in different episodes. Oh! Did I forget to mention that? Never mind.A little birdie tells me, SRK will appear on the show along with his in-laws (Gauri's parents) while Sallu bhai has committed to Farah to come on the show for the first time with his otherwise media shy mom Salma. Sounds interesting!
As the summer hots up many women will be dusting down their strapless dresses and showing off their tanned shoulders at weddings and parties across the country.However, keeping one's assets in place can be fraught with difficulties as conventional strapless bras often head south after a rigorous session on the dance floor or even just a stroll to the bar.
But now help is at hand as Wonderbra launch their revolutionary Ultimate Strapless bra which promises to stay up as long as you do.The bra has been designed to mimic the ideal lift and support achieved when women hold up their own bust with the help of a brand new structure shaped with four ‘fingers’ that is moulded into each cup, totally replacing conventional underwire.
Available in cup sizes A-F at around £32, the breakthrough bra was unveiled at the Westfield Shopping Centre in London today by a selection of models wearing sequin leggings and little else as they strutted around to showcase the underwear and its uplifting benefits.Wonderbra spent two years researching and developing the technology with Cambridge-based innovators, as well as spending hundreds of hours in testing to create the ‘hands’, which are invisible from the outside.
'We conducted a comprehensive series of tests with real girls, which included dancing, bending, stretching and jumping, all designed to put the bra through its paces,' said Julia Nolan of Wonderbra.'This unique technology lifts the weight of the bust, supports and gives a trusted Wonderbra cleavage. We have created a groundbreaking garment giving women the perfect solution to the age old strapless bra problem,' added Julia.
Until she found fame Chantelle Houghton scratched a living as a smalltime Paris Hilton lookalike. Now it seems she has returned to her roots in a new photoshoot.With her blonde hair, trim figure and tanned skin the Celebrity Big Brother winner looks a double for the slim American socialite in these shots.
And she's never looked better - after ditching her fake-looking long blonde extensions for her more natural length, and lost the deep mahogany glow she once sported.But despite the similarities it's not Paris which the 25-year-old is hoping to emulate - but older glamour model Katie Price.Chantelle has been snapped up by PR team Can Associates, the team which made Price into a multi-million pound business.
She plans to emulate Price's success - and forge a multi-million pound fortune.And it's not just her career that Chantelle is eyeing.With the break-down of Katie's marriage to Peter Andre, Chantelle has been outspoken in her criticism of the 31-year-old.'She [Price] treats Pete like s***. I think hats off to him for sticking with her for so long.
'I just don't know how he's done it. Peter seems like such a nice man. He's caring, thoughtful and he's a great dad.'I think Jordan is so going to realise what she has lost. She's just used to being Jordan. She tried to settle down but she couldn't - I think there's that thing inside that makes her slam those shots down her neck and get her boobs out.'
Leaked photos of Megan Fox were released to the tabloids a couple of days ago and it is rumored to be on the web in no time (if it hasn’t been posted already). The photos were actually from her upcoming movie, “Jennifer’s Body” in which she has a few semi-nude scenes. loading...
Unlike most celebrities, Megan Fox decided she wouldn’t sue the person behind the leaking of topless photos. In a statement Fox said, “I had booby stickers on. If I’d been actually topless, I would have sued someone… I know who, and I never did anything about it. It’s her karma to deal with, not mine.”I’m always a little weary about situations like these. For some reason I think they are all part of the marketing plan to get us talking about the movie before it comes out. It’s almost like what they did with Christian Bale and his whole fiasco.
Kim Kardashian - she of the affluent family, large butt and questionable sex tape - looks now to be the spokeswoman for Pepsi’s new Pepsi Max. Which looks to be marketed as the new diet soda “for men”. Although, doesn’t it seem ironic that for a diet soda they use the spokeswoman famous for having a huge butt?Regardless, given this picture (thanks, TheBlemish.com!) and the hubbub of internet chatter surrounding it, it looks actually like a good deal for both Pepsi and Kim. For once, Kim will have an endorsement that is unrelated to spandex, and for once, Pepsi will have a caricature of a hot woman selling their product! Totally different than that The Spice Girls ad.
