Michael Jackson 1958-2009

People.com reports statements from some celebs:

""We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music," Justin Timberlake, who was clearly influenced by Jackson, wrote on his Web site. "He has been an inspiration to multiple generations, and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones." "I can't stop crying over the sad news," Madonna says. "I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."

Former Wife 'Heartbroken'Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Jackson from 1994 to 1996, says, "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me." In a long, heartfelt statement, Usher said he was "deeply saddened" by the loss and paid tribute to Jackson's legacy. "May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire Jackson family particularly Michael's mother, children and all his fans that loved him so much. I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for him and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer, who in so many ways, transcended the culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten."

"He was magic," said Beyoncé Knowles. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the King of Pop!" On Friday, Chace Crawford said on Britain's GMTV that he heard the news while at a party hosted by Elton John at the musician's home just outside of London. When word got out, "It was … like an instant viral just spread," said Crawford. "It just instantly changed the energy of the party." In a statement Thursday afternoon Britney Spears said, "I was so excited to see his show in London. We were going to be on tour in Europe at the same time and I was going to fly in to see him. He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I'm devastated he's gone!"

Whitney Houston, who has battled her own demons and is on the verge of a comeback (just as Jackson was), released a statement saying simply, "I am full of grief," while Paul McCartney, who collaborated with Jackson at the height of his success, writes on his Web site: "I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones."
Elizabeth Taylor 'Devastated'Elizabeth Taylor, one of Jackson's closest and longstanding friends, was "too devastated" to issue a statement, her rep says, while Quincy Jones, who produced Jackson's biggest hits, says, "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words." Cher, calling in to Larry King Live on CNN, shared many memories of Jackson, including dancing together on the Queen Mary and seeing the musical Dreamgirls together. "I am having a million reactions," said Cher. "When I think of him, I think of this young boy, this teenager I first met … He was a great teenager, optimistic and adorable." "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael," adds Brooke Shields, who raised eyebrows when she briefly dated Jackson. "He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."

R.I.P. Michael Jackson..The best that ever did it!

TMZ.com reports: "Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back". I know that he wasn't with our controversy but Michael Jackson will forever be the one artist that all of the newbies will try to be....

Somebody finally beat the sh@t out of Perez Hilton..

Bossip.com reports: "Supposedly, there is a Twitter war and accusations raging on between Perez Hilton and Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. All we know is Perez accused Will.I.Am of beating his @ss at the Much Music Awards in Canada and Will.I.Am’s sayin’ he doesn’t have a clue of what’s going on.
Via Perez Hilton’s Twitter:
• PerezHilton: I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.• PerezHilton: I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.
• PerezHilton: Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.
We love how he’s shouting out the police on Twitter as if the Toronto police monitor Twitter for celeb assaults.
Will.I.Am just responded on his blog to Perez Hilton’s allegation that he beat the blogger outside the MuchMusic Awards last night in Toronto.
Will.I.Am: Click to watchMr. I.Am says it was all news to him when Perez began twittering, accusing the Black Eyed Pea of the beatdown."

New Movie: House Arrest starring the Game??

The Game & Stacey Dash are filming the movie in LA and it looks to be a straight to DVD movie but I also thought that about Beyonce's Obsessed. Synopsis: High maintenance girl meets quick money scheming man. Up the road and down the hill they go like Jack and Jill facing drama, after drama after drama. Cast includes: Stacey Dash, The Game, Kiera Washington, Red Grant, Bebe Drake, Theron Benymon, Shelli Boone, Cory Bievin and more. And clearly the supporting cast a full of Z-list actors and comedians..Hy but we all gotta make a livng...

More Drama for Nas & Kelis

TMZ is reporting the Kelis is requestion 80K a month from estranged hubby Nasir Jones:

"Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him.
Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses — $80,831 a month … way more than she says she makes.
Kelis says she hasn’t toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts.
Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny
costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations — not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the “baby rug dry cleaned.”

Divorce Woes for Nas & Usher.....

Theybf.com reports:"In other Splitsville news, MTV has scoped out how much Nas is worth and just how bad Kelis may be messed over if he never ponies up the $30k cash she requested for her and their unborn baby:The paperwork alleges Nas signed an $11 million recording contract with Def Jam and is co-owner of touring company, Gorilla Union. The documents state Nas also pays for five homes, three for the couple in Los Angeles, New York and Georgia, and one for his family in New York and her family in the Dominican Republic. In addition to business ventures and property, the filings suggest Nas owns a number of luxury items, including a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Maybach, a Ferrari and a full-time driver in New York.
According to the filing, the married couple maintained separate bank accounts and filed separate tax returns.
“All of this is adding up and all of the weight is falling on her shoulders, creating extreme emotional stress which I’m sure has affects on her physically since she’s due to give birth any day now,” the source said. “Kelis has spent every last penny that she has to cover whatever expenses for the baby that she can but at this point really needs him to step up and share in the responsibility. She physically can’t work to bring in any sort of income, as much as she’d like to.”
Apparently Kelis has been trying to get in touch with Mr. Jones but he won’t answer. Sad situation for everyone involved really…."

Theybf.com Reports:"The Raymond divorce papers have been analyzed by media sources–and it looks like some sneaky ish was going down. The papers confirm that Usher and Tameka have been separated since July 2008. No surprise to us. But apparently, Usher found out Tameka hired a private investigator to trail Ursh for the past year. And now he wants EVERYTHING they captured on him to be turned over:
The “Love in This Club” singer is seeking a full rundown of all documents his missus has kept during the course of their marriage…
That includes tax files, paycheck stubs, bank account information and other financial records, insurance policies, real-estate rental agreements, medical records and automobile registrations.
On the more personal—and potentially acrimonious—side of things, he’s also seeking copies of “notes, cards, letters, photographs, film, documents, tapes, voice recordings, gift, jewelry, clothes” or other evidence that reflects on Usher’s conduct during their marriage, as well as detective reports, photos or recordings that have resulted from either “surveillance or investigation” of her onetime better half.
Making sure no stone is left unturned—or potentially leaked to the media, no doubt—he’s also requesting copies of “any and all diaries or personal notes kept…during the course of the marriage."
