UPDATE as of May 25, 2010 -Britanny Murphy’s husband and director Simon Monjack was found dead at his home.
From Associated Press:
The husband of Brittany Murphy was found dead by his mother-in-law late Sunday at the Los Angeles home he shared with the late actress, the coroner’s office said. Simon Monjack’s death was reported as a possible heart attack and appeared to be from natural causes, Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said. Monjack was 39.
“He was discovered by Brittany’s mom as being unresponsive” in the master bedroom of the Hollywood Hills home at about 9:40 p.m. Sunday, Winter said. Sharon Murphy called paramedics, who pronounced him dead.
There were no signs of foul play or physical injury to his body, Winter said.
Prescription medications belonging to Monjack were found in his bedroom, but there was no immediate indication that he overdosed, Winter said.
An autopsy was planned Tuesday, but a final cause of death would await results of planned toxicology tests, Winter said.
Murphy died last Dec. 20 after collapsing in the home.
At his wife’s funeral, a visibly emotional Monjack talked about their relationship and called her his best friend and soul mate. The two married in 2007. He had said they were planning a family and contemplating a move to New York.

Brittany Murphy Dies at Age 32
I was just watching Brittany Murphy in the movie “Ramen Girl” a few weeks back and now the news that she died at a young age of 32 is a complete shocker. Murphy was the chubby girl in “Clueless” and the love opposite of Eminem in his first full movie “8 Mile.” I loved her in “Just Married” with Ashton Kutcher and “Uptown Girls” with Dakota Fanning. She also gave voice to character “Gloria” in the 2006 animated feature, “Happy Feet.”
I haven’t seen her in movies in recent times except when I caught “Ramen Girl” on Star Movies. It was reported that she died in Los Angeles over the weekend with no determined cause of death. Los Angeles County coroner’s official however said that it appears to be of natural causes.
Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom, and somebody placed a 911 call. The Los Angeles Fire Department was first to respond at 8 am at her house in Hollywood Hills. Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but it appears that she might have died instantaneously. She was married to British screenwriter Simon Monjack. Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared “dazed” as firefighters tried to save her.
Authorities are currently looking into her medical history. An autopsy will be conducted for Monday or Tuesday. Winter said Murphy’s family was cooperating with the coroner’s investigation. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
She dated Ashton Kutcher, who costarred with Murphy in 2003’s romantic comedy “Just Married.”
Kutcher sent a message on Twitter Sunday morning about Murphy’s death: “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine,” Kutcher wrote. “My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon.”

The authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion. Speculations abound that the blast involves foul play. No indication yet from police reports.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum made a trip to the Philippines to talk to Manny Pacquiao, who broke records of being the only champion with 7 world boxing titles under his belt. After Pacquiao’s clear welterweight win over Miguel Cotto last November, everyone is slating Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the next in line to face the formidable Filipino boxer.
March 13, 2010 is the date they are eyeing. This can be the biggest boxing event of next year since people have been anticipating this match-up. Pacquiao is the top pound-for-pound fighter while Mayweather is currently No.2 –although the No.1 position is not new to Mayweather since he was No.1 before he retired in June 2008.
The public has been clamoring for this fight to happen but according to Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s coach, March 13 is too fast a turnaround. Remember that Pacquiao suffered a broken eardrum during his duel with Cotto. Roach wants Pacquiao to be in his best possible shape before he steps again in the ring. Roach is looking into a May 2010 bout but that will coincide with the election month. Pacquiao already filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) this week to run for Congress.
Ticket for the live fight is expected to cost around $2,500 (P117,500) while the cheapest seats at around $500 (P25,000).
Will Schaefer and Arum get this deal done and set a fight date before the 2nd half of next year? The public will have to wait and see.

Excerpt from the book, The Maker by John Maxwell:
The happiest people in life don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just try to make the best of everything. They are like the person in a remote village going to a well who says, “every time I come to this well, I come away with my bucket full!” instead of, “I can’t believe I have to keep coming back to this well to fill up my bucket.”
A person’s attitude has a profound influence on his approach to his life. Ask a coach before a big game whether his attitude and that of his players will make a difference in the outcome of the game.
Ask a surgeon if a patient’s attitude matters when she’s trying to save that life in an emergency room. Ask a teacher if students’ attitudes have an impact before they take a test.
One of the things I’ve learned is that life often gives you whatever you expect from it. If you expect bad things, those are what you get. If you expect good things, you often receive them. I don’t know why it works that way, but it does.
If you don’t believe, try it out. Give yourself thirty days in which you expect everything. The best parking place, the best table in a restaurant, the best interaction with customers, the best treatment from service people. You will be surprised by what you can encounter, especially if you give your best to others in every situation as well.
-End-
————————————————————————————
Situations can sometimes be unfair –that’s why people often tune to the cliché, “Life is unfair.” We never know what cards we will be dealt. Circumstances in my life may not always been the finest but I believe that when you always see the good in life and in people, life can be fair. There will be no room for worry, hatred, hurt, envy and jealousy. If you expect people to treat you unfairly, then that’s all you will allow yourself to see. If you think you will lose, then you probably already have. If you think you will win, then that in itself is already a victory.
Fill your heart with love and your mind positive things… in one form or another, you will definitely receive them back.
Love and best,
Jane

Sony Pictures reports that hundreds of show times have sold out since tickets went on sale on Sunday for “Michael Jackson: This Is It”. It opens Oct. 28 in the US for a two-week limited run. The movie is based on more than 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the late King of Pop’s planned concert series at the O2 Arena in London.
Advance shows in some markets the night before also are selling out. All 3,000 tickets for screenings at a Los Angeles cinema were snapped up in two hours, with some fans queuing to buy tickets up for nearly three days.
Sony said 30,000 tickets were sold in the first 24 hours in London, while £630,000 worth of tickets were sold in Japan within the same time period.
The film’s world gala will be in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre on the evening of October 27.
The event will kick off a series of more than 25 premieres around the globe.
Jackson died in June aged 50, just weeks before the huge string of London comeback concerts titled This Is It were due to get under way.

Presidential Race to the Altar?
Senator Manuel Roxas II has sacrificed his presidential bid for 2010 to give way to fellow Liberal Party member, Senator Benigno “Noy Noy” Aquino III, who is currently away in Zamboanga to seek spiritual guidance. He will be back on Monday but will probably reveal his decision on whether or not to run for president after September 9, the 40th mourning day of his mother, former President Cory Aquino.
During his speech at Club Filipino, the same venue where President Cory Aquino took her oath as the first woman president, he urged people to pray with him to assess people’s readiness to accompany him in this fight.
Meanwhile, Noy Noy’s sister, celebrity host Kris Aquino said in her show, Showbix News Ngayon, that she is giving 100 percent support to her brother in case he decides to run a presidential campaign. She further declared on Wednesday night that she requested Noy Noy to remain single for the meantime since he already has enough big decisions on his plate as it is.
People tend to speculate that Kris might have reservations about the current girlfriend of Noy Noy, Shalani Soledad, a councilor of Valenzuela’s 2nd district.
Kris retracts her statement Thursday evening on SNN and apologized for meddling in her brother’s love life. She again promised not to talk about Noy Noy’s affairs of the heart.

The LA County coroner is supposed to release the final toxicology report on Michael Jackson’s death. The coroner’s office ruled the June 25 demise of MJ as a homicide due to a combination of drugs, anesthetic propofol mixed with two sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.
The forensic test findings will strengthen criminal charges that are to be filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, the Las Vegas cardiologist who was with the King of Pop when he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion.
LAPD has been closely investigating the doctor who only became Jackson’s personal physician weeks before his death. Murray disclosed that he’d been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip. Propofol is normally used in operations. He claims that Jackson was forming an addiction to the anesthetic.
Murray reveals that around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep including 10 milligrams of Valium and injections of two milligrams of lorazepam and two milligrams of midazolam. Jackson supposedly demanded for propofol, which the singer referred to as his “milk.”
Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom. No more than two minutes later, he returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing.
When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly withered, and his body had bedsores. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed.
Murray has spoken to police and last week released a YouTube video saying he “told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail.”

$20,000 Gone in New York Minute
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her entourage allegedly dined at Le Cirque in Manhattan, a prestigious French restaurant in New York City during her recent US trip, New York Post online’s “Page Six” wrote,
“Philippines President Maria Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was at Le Cirque the other night with a large entourage enjoying the good life… Macapagal-Arroyo ordered several bottles of very expensive wine, pushing the dinner tab up to $20,000.”
Theoretical Breakdown of the Bill

Renato Reyes, secretary general of the militant group, Bayan, said that it is inappropriate for a Third World country president to wine and dine in such lavish manner given that the rest of the country is in the midst of a crisis. He asserts that the NY dinner certainly leaves a bad taste in the mouth, at least for the rest of the Filipino people. The $20,000 is equivalent to almost 1 million pesos, an amount that can probably supply one township a year’s supply of rice or nourishment.
PGMA’s camp claims that the report was exaggerated and that no taxpayer’s money was used.

Vilma Santos Plays Cory in FilmBio, MMK Features Cory’s Bodyguard
Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, the Star for all Seasons, is being eyed to portray the role of former President Cory Aquino. Vilma is running for reelection and is not allowed to have a movie shown or appear on TV longer than the permitted time setforth by the COMELEC. The launch of the movie would probably start after the elections next year if Vilma were tapped to play the role.

Former United States President Bill Clinton was instrumental in freeing two U.S. journalists who were detained for almost 5 months in North Korea. His recent visit to Pyongyang helped in the successful release of reporters Euna Lee, 36, a South Korean born US citizen and Laura Ling, 32, a California native.
The journalists were arrested near the North Korean-Chinese border in March while on a reporting trip for Current TV, a media outfit founded by former Vice President Al Gore. Kim Jong II pardoned the women who were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering the country illegally and supposedly engaging in “hostile acts”.
Clinton was reported to have apologized on behalf of the women and their grief-stricken families and relayed President Barack Obama’s gratitude.
Image Source: Associated Press
However, Secretary Clinton said at a news conference today in Nairobi that no apology was made to North Korea in connection with her husband’s mission to gain the reporters’ release.
2 weeks ago, North Korea insulted Hillary Clinton by calling her a “funny lady.”
Tensions have been increasing between North Korea and the U.S. due to illicit nuclear-arms program of North Korea. The heightened friction between the two was created by North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests. Kim Jong II also seems to be belligerent in continuing negotiation talks.
Will the visit contribute to a deepening relationship between North Korea and the United States? Will this event open renewed discussions to abandon nuclear weapons program or is it only delaying the foreseeable conflict between the two countries?

It was a Thursday, which means a workday. I remember that I almost begged off joining because I’ve already max-ed out my leaves because I took a 1-month leave for the study tour in Japan.
I was with someone else (SE) in 2006. He said that I should take the opportunity to meet her because “it’s not everyday that we get invited to a trip like this.”
We arrived at her house in Times Street, Quezon City early in the morning.
I think it was Tita Ballsy who welcomed us initially and directed us to the kitchen where she was.
I see a yellow figure turn to greet us. I am nervous. I am awkward. I am excited.
She first turns her attention to Tita (SE’s mom). Then she greets SE fondly. Tita introduces me. I nervously return her bright smile.
It was the first time I met former President Aquino.
She seemed to be always formal on TV.
Serious.
Tackling national issues are considerable matters after all.
But that morning, she was like any ordinary person, simply offering us breakfast on the table and welcoming us to their home.
Genuine.
Her earnest personality transcends beyond television. You can feel the sincerity in her eyes and smile.
She made cream cheese with caviar, a concoction she made herself. We had it with some bread and it was really luscious.
She was cheerful and as sunny as her yellow ensemble. I was feeling really timid being in the same presence of such prominence. But the atmosphere around her was very light and easy. With all that she has been through, it was an aura I didn’t expect.
Soon all of us load inside the van and we begin our travel.
She, Tita and Tita Ballsy talk all the way to the province of Tarlac. Once a while, she turns to SE or me. She asks me where I was working and I fumble in my answer. Incredibly, I stammer even with the word, “Yes.” She has that calming presence but I felt really humbled to be face to face with a democracy stalwart.
As we reach the town proper, they familiarize us with the surroundings. We had a quick stopover for lunch at Max’s. Her being there equally astounded the wait staff but anyone can spot the Filipino pride in their eyes as they look at her. She relentsto a reporter’s request for a short interview and some photos while SE and I look around.
We arrived at Hacienda Luisita and was greeted by Noy Noy, who personally toured us around the Ninoy Aquino museum.
At the end of the tour, we went to the mini-theater and watched in full screen a documentary about Ninoy Aquino and the hardships the family and the country had gone through to restore democracy. The Aquino family’s sacrifice alongside the country’s support and unity rekindled my nationalistic pride and instilled appreciation for being a free country. At the end of the short film were words of Teodoro Benigno (SE’s dad), former Press Secretary of President Aquino. Tears fell remembering Tito.
I took a lot from that day –a monumental piece of Philippine history was left implanted in my mind while the national unity displayed was left valued in my heart. How inspiring that despite what she has gone through, Tita Cory remained very simple and sensible. At any given day, she can pass like any ordinary loving mother or Tita or lola. When the country is in crisis, she was also our go-to-person for moral ascendance. She was a source of strength for every Filipino.
August 1, 2009
Corazon Aquino, the Philippine’s first woman president who led the Filipino people toward democracy, died in the quite morning of August 1, 2009. She succumbed to colon cancer at the age of 76.
I mourn not only for the loss of someone I was privileged to meet once in my life but my heart deeply cries for losing the woman who symbolizes hope for this country. She was an icon of democracy, nationalism and motherhood.
She was a woman of courage and faith.
It’s now time for every Filipino to carry the cross of the country for her. It is in each one of us.
There’s still a good fight ahead.

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and LAPD detectives searched the residence and office of Conrad Murray, each location a week apart. Murray is Michael Jackson’s doctor who is believed to have given Jackson a lethal dose of anesthetic Propofol.
Propofol is used to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. In hospitals, only a trained anesthesiologist is allowed to administer the drug under strict monitoring conditions.
TMZ.com reported that Murray had told police in an interview he gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip. The website reported police believe Murray may have fallen asleep while the drug was being administered, and awoke to find the singer already dead.
If Murray did inject Jackson with Propofol negligently, he can be charged with homicide.
The federal agents and police came to his office a week earlier with a search warrant seeking evidence for the “offense of manslaughter”
The LA Coroner’s office reported that the toxicology result is due by the end of this week.

The Aquino and Cojuangco families are already stricken with intense worry over former President Corazon Aquino’s health and definitely have no room for any additional worry particularly rumors that their loved one and the nation’s democracy icon has passed away.
The British Embassy in Manila sent to reporters a statement from Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch Brown extending his deepest condolences to the family, which is undoubtedly careless and irresponsible. This brought a text pandemonium saying that the President had indeed died.
Even if the British Embassy in Manila gave another statement sending their apology for such “pre-mature information,” it is utterly inexcusable that such scenario happened. The families together with the whole nation are gripped with fear of losing a brave democratic stalwart to colon cancer. It is reprehensible to diffuse hopes with a mistake like that.
The nation still continues to pray for the ailing leader’s condition as well as for the families to not waver in their faith no matter how trying this time is.
I love Cory and I admire her love for this nation. She has irrefutable faith that carried on the strength for nation building. It is time that we be strong in our faith for her -faith in her health, faith in God’s will and faith in this country.
A Michael Jackson movie could hit theaters by the end of 2009. Rumor is Sony Pictures is willing to pay the 50-million dollar deal for worldwide rights. AEG Entertainment, the company who owns the 80-hour material showing Michael Jackson rehearsing for his planned series of comeback concerts, had previewed the footage to different Hollywood studios. The television rights are up for bidding at $10 million.
Kenny Ortega, the choreographer for the King of Pop’s “This Is It” concerts might direct the movie. He is also famed for the hit film, “High School Musical.”
We’ve seen a few clips of the rehearsal footages but that’s only a morsel compared to what AEG has in their possession. The footage released last July 2 showed the international pop superstar practicing a song-and-dance routine at Los Angeles’s Staples Center two days before his death. The footage shows that Jackson had been in good health prior to the day he died.

Jackson was found barely breathing on June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion. A final cause of death has not been revealed as coroners await the results of toxicology tests.

The Battle for Michael Jackson’s Estate Continues
Millions of people all over the world stayed tune to the live coverage of Michael Jackson’s public memorial. 20,000 people flock to Staples Center, Los Angeles to celebrate the King of Pop’s life. Family and friends of Michael Jackson remembered his contribution to the music and to the world.
Brooke Shields expressed her breaking heart as she remembered her younger moments with Michael Jackson, as well as Berry Gordon, founder of MoTown Records, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, Stevie Wonder.
The most touching moment for me during the memorial is when the whole family of MJ was onstage and Paris Jackson, one of Michael Jackson‘s three young children, and spoke about her late father. With Janet Jackson on her side, she broke down saying that her father is the best father imaginable… her voice cracked as well as her heart when she expressed her love for her father.
Growing up under shades, blanket, masks, Michael Jackson made efforts to protect his children’s faces from the paparazzi for more than a decade. But on Tuesday, in front of an audience of thousands at the Staples Center and millions more around the globe, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael; 11-year-old Paris-Katherine; and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket clutching a Michael Jackson doll, sat in the front row, taking in their father’s memorial service at Staples Center.
The ceremony’s significant spotlight was on Paris addressing the crowd while fighting back sobs. She breaks down in public in remembrance of her dad as millions of fans’ heart mourned with her.
“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” she said, her tiny voice cracking. “And I just wanted to say I love him — so much.”
Another tearful moment was Jermaine Jackson singing a song for his brother. Viewers all over the world were stricken with emotion when the elder Jackson who was in tears performed his brother’s favorite song, “Smile.”
The group performed “We are the World” on the stage to honor Jackson’s role in bridging races.
Jackson sold an estimated 750 million copies of his album. Only Elvis Presley and the Beatles are within this record.

The Battle for Michael Jackson’s Estate Continues
Jackson’s public memorial is scheduled on Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. Ticket winners started retrieving their passes to the Staples Center ceremony. More than 1.6 million people registered for the free entrance tickets. From the registered million, only about 9,000 names were picked. The ticket allocation is two per person. Email notifications were sent to the lucky fans that scored the hottest ticket in town. Sadly, some were selling their much-coveted tickets on Ebay starting at USD 3,000.
.jpg "a")
The list of participants at the memorial includes Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Kobe Bryant, Brooke Shields, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Lionel Richie, John Mayer, Usher, Jennifer Hudson and Martin Luther King III.
While the memorial organizers, Los Angeles police and Michael Jackson fans are busy in the upcoming public memorial at Staples Center, the battle for the King of Pop’s estate continues. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled against the request of Jackson’s mother to be put in charge of Jackson’s estate. The judge granted Michael Jackson’s longtime attorney, John Branca and music executive and family friend, John McClain to oversee the pop singer’s estate for now. Based on the 2002 will that surfaced recently, Jackson wanted the two to administer his estate.
Jackson died June 25, deeply in debt. But a court filing estimates that his estate will be worth more than $500 million. His assets are supposed to be for a private trust. Michael Jackson owned a 50 percent stake in the massive Sony-ATV Music Publishing Catalog, which includes music by the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers.

The family also asked if Jackson’s mother, Katherine can co-administer the estate with Branca and McClain to ensure that there is no conflict of interest since the two also has involvement in Jackson’s other shares. They also wanted more time to see if another would emerge and to accommodate Jackson’s memorial service. The judge however denied the request.
The judge further grants Branca and McClain several powers over the estate, including the rights to negotiate a settlement with concert promoter AEG Live over refunds for Jackson’s canceled London shows.
Michael Jackson’s life and legacy will be memorialized publicly at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. People all over the world are organizing memorial services as well at their own locals to pay tribute to the King of Pop not only as a performer but bearer of a good heart.

Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders Affair Exclusive Photos, The Cheated Robert Pattinson
It’s sad how a good movie like Snow White and the Huntsman gets overshadowed by a scandal or controversy instead of being remembered as one of the better Snow White movies ever made (sans Kristen Stewarts trademark “stuttering” meek damsel in distress acting). I totally loved Charlize Theron’s exquisite acting in her role as the “evil stepmother.”
When the news first broke out and source being US Weekly, I wasn’t sure what to believe. It’s a tabloid after all that can weave a whole web out of a small thread. They had the photos as proof, still a little sketchy but that “closeness” and the “kissing / necking in the car” photos are hard to deny. This scandal exploded with close to damning evidence on US Weekly issue. Must be painful for Robert Pattinson and he seems to be a great down-to-earth guy (yea like I can tell from watching one or two guestings on The Ellen Show… har har).
Via google images
Bottom line is Kirsten Stewart cheated on Pattinson and with a married man no less! Snow White and the Huntsman Director Rupert Sanders, who has a wife and 2 children, apparently already apologized to his family profusely regretting deeply hurting them.
A statement to People, Kristen said: “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”
Sanders shortly came out with his own public apology / statement, “I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”
The photographic evidence of Sanders, 41, and Stewarts, 22, steamy encounters has been exposed and there’s no denying it. Stewart also came out with a statement on People.com apologizing to Robert and those who have affected by the affair. There is no word yet from Robert Pattinson’s camp but a close source says he’s quite crushed.
