Kim Kardashian Divorces Kris Humphries 2 Months after Multi-Million Dollar Wedding, TRUE

Coming from meeting with E! Channel today in Hong Kong, I found out that Kim Kardashian reportedly filed for divorce last night.  It comes as surprise because E! Channel just showed the debut of the multi-million-dollar wedding a few weeks ago in a 2-part E! special and the reruns were actually still shown up to last week.

The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock

 

I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it.  I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one.   Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.

 

Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back.  Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity.  Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.

 

 

The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance.  Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.

 

Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it.  “There is no sex tape.  There never has been one and there never will be one.”  Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James.  Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.

 

 

Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape.  He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

 

His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces.  “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”

 

Ricky Martin is Gay

 

After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay.  In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.

 

 

 “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man.  I am very blessed to be who I am.”  I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.

 

So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂

 

 

The Man in the Mirror, Michael Jackson Dies at Age 50

 

Legendary music icon Michael Jackson was found dead at his Los Angeles home, Thursday. 

 

The King of Pop, the biggest celebrity world over, was suspected to have died of cardiac arrest.  The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call placed around 12:30pm.  The responding paramedics performed CPR trying to revive the star (ET has an exclusive photo).  He wasn’t breathing when he was found and was immediately rushed to the UCLA Medical Center in LA.  The cause of Jackson’s death is still sparse and uncertain.  Some reports speculate that it might have been an overdose of prescription or certain substances.  Michael Jackson didn’t have any symptoms of cardiac problem or any heart illnesses and resuscitation would have been able to revive himThis sudden tragic death shocks all music fans and there is outpouring of sympathy for the loss of Michael Jackson.

 

 

Coincidentally, Jessica Zafra wrote in her column in the Philippine Star a Michael Jackson feature today.  On Larry King Live and Anderson Cooper, Michael Jackson’s friends sends their deepest sympathy, Quincy Jones, Randy Jackson, Sheryl Crow, Cher, among others.  Donna Sommer will dedicate her concert to Michael.  Madonna says he was one of the greats and truly an inspiration to her music as well.  I wonder how Macaulay Culkin and Chris Tucker feels.  They were pretty close to Jackson. 

Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson’s Brother, with a heavy heart faced media at a press conference releasing the cause of Jackson’s death.

 

 

 

Michael Jackson first rose to stardom in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the Jackson 5.  He was that little gifted boy with so much energy performing with the music group that he formed with his four older brothers.  Their famous hits include “ABC” and “I’ll Be There” that has so many renditions from other artists.

  

The 1982 album “Thriller” is the best-selling album of all time having sold over 50 million copies worldwide.  The much famed album includes top charters “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and the most recognizable song to the world, “Thriller.”  Usher, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake music are from Michael Jackson’s influences.

 

 

Jackson’s career started to tarnish with a series of scandals.  From his universal popularity in the 1980s, his stardom started to decline with a series of surgically altered appearance.

 

 

Michael Jackson popularized so many dance moves such as the moonwalker, pulling up the pants and the crotch-grabbing dance moves.  Justin Timberlake’s voice reminds me of Jackson’s high-pitched voice that is punctuated with squeals and titters.  He was the ultimate performer, if not the best dancer… King of all Generations and probably all genres for me… He was admired for his songs but Michael Jackson was also very instrumental in uniting Black and White together.  The soulful lyrics of They Dont Care About Us, Heal the World, Boogeyman, Man in the Mirror, Black and White transcends across nations.  Someone said that Michael Jackson’s death is like passing of an era.  I totally agree.

 

I am deeply saddened by the loss of the King of Music, Michael Jackson.  He was an all-out performer and has changed the music scene.  My bucket list includes watching a Michael Jackson concert.  I was so ecstatic to learn that he was doing a final run of concert series in Europe starting with London.  There were even talks that he might do one in Asia.  There are only three legendary icons for me, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson (and probably Beatles as a group).  The only female counterpart I can think of that is on the same level is Madonna (who is also in my bucket list of performers I want to watch).  They are the only artists that really made such enormous impact that shifted music landscape.  His legacy in the music industry and the inspiration his creativity brought will remain in music fans’ hearts generation after generation.
