Members of Michael Jackson’s family said the singer was given a “heavy dose of morphine” prior to his death, and family members were alarmed.
Joe Jackson recently wanted to put Michael in a rehab facility in Palmdale, California for what he considered an “addiction” to morphine and prescription drugs. A close member of Michael Jackson’s family has said Jackson received a daily injection of a synthetic narcotic similar to morphine — Demerol — and yesterday he received a shot at 11:30 AM.
Family members are saying the dosage was “too much” and that’s what caused his death.
Family members say they felt he was unable to perform for his upcoming concerts because of his drug use. Members of the upcoming said that Jackson was generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.
There are reports Jackson OD’d yesterday on Demerol, a drug similar to morphine.
Interestingly, Jackson wrote a song called “Morphine” in 1997. One of the lyrics — “Demerol. Demerol. Oh God he’s taking Demerol.”
Interestingly, law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson’s home — and the doctor is nowhere to be found.
Let’s face it: if you were a celebrity, you’d be doin’ everything around you. And you could…because you would be a celebrity, and everyone would want a piece of your sweet, sweet celebrity junk. But as history has shown us, gettin’ down with too many anonymous people means you’ll feel the burn, quite literally. Oh well.
Check out these celebs who allegedly have herpes.
Paris Hilton
Shock level: Low
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Highest
How We Know:
You’ve certainly seen or least heard about Paris’ horrifying sex-tape (yes there’s an IMDB page) with douchebag nobody Rick Salomon, so right there you know doin’ it is important to her. To be fair, it’s important to everyone. But when you’re as indiscriminate about your partners as she is, well, that’s where the trouble lies. She’s seen around the world with men as promiscuous as she is, so it’s fair to assume she’s got it. Oh, and then there’s her prescription for Valtrex which has been featured on many credible websites.
Jessica Alba
Shock level: Medium
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Minimal
How We Know:
But she had a baby! Anyone with a baby can’t have herpes. Except they can…and she does. Apparently she got it from Derek Jeter. Yes, it’s a rumor, but there has been quite a bit of sources who worked closely with Alba and recalled having to pick up her Valtrex prescription on a regular basis. She’s also on the recently created Derek Jeter Herpes Tree.
Derek Jeter
Shock level: Medium
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Depends on if you are a Red Sox or Yankees fan
How We Know:
Again, rumors have been flying around about this guy’s sexual deviancy for quite a while. Hey, making $17 million a year for baseball’s most famous team allows you access to the most coveted poon. Anyway, there’s been enough speculation on the subject for someone to create the aforementioned tree, so we figured, “Why not post it and let YOU decide”? Even if you think it’s bull, it’s pretty funny to see the progression because even if the herpes speculation isn’t true, the fact that these celebrities dated one another is, meaning they’d be exposed to Jeter’s Yankee doodle.
Billy Idol
Shock Level: Low
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: It’s less interesting than it would be 20 years ago.
Robin Williams
Shock Level: High
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Depends on how much you liked “Aladdin”
How We Know:
Williams was slapped with a lawsuit in the mid-80s by a cocktail waitress who claimed he had given it to her without warning her he had it first. But hey, celebrities get accused of stuff they didn’t do all the time right? Sure. But the case was settled out of court, implying that Mrs. Doubtfire felt a bit guilty about it.
Anne Heche
Shock Level: Low-Medium
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Ehh
Tony Bennett
Shock Level: Very high
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: I left my heart in San Francisco, and my virus in some girl.
How We Know:
We admit, we were surprised by this one too. Bennett adamantly denies the allegations and even produced medical records which indicate he doesn’t. Oh well, the fact that someone would go far enough to accuse Tony Bennett of giving them herpes is all we need to find this hilarious.
Michael Vick
Shock level: Low
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Pre-dog murder: Medium Post-dog murder: High
How We Know:
Ron Mexico. Vick was getting treatments and medication under the name “Ron Mexico,” a fact that was discovered when a woman sued him for giving her the disease in 2002, claiming he willfully gave it to her without warning. Our thought is: if you’re willfully having unprotected sex with a professional athlete like Michael Vick, you were going to end up with it anyway, and you’re lucky you got it from a rich dude.
David Hasselhoff
Shock level: Low
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: High, if you aren’t German
How We Know:
During the Hoff’s divorce from Pamela Bach, the latter cited such marital problems as domestic violence and his penchant for drinking himself shitty, and by shitty, we mean he loved to shit his pants when he got drunk. Another problem Bach cited was that Hoff has genital herpes. A man that poops his pants and has herpes?
Liza Minnelli
Shock level: High
Amount You Enjoy Knowing: Should be ridiculously high
How We Know:
Alright, so it’s mentioned in her divorce proceedings from David Gest, who probably isn’t the greatest source in the world, but then again, he was divorcing Liza Minnelli. There are hundreds of things he could have made up to worsen her already horrible reputation.
Photos of Katie Price boozing it up were the last straw that made Peter Andre dump her.
Peter had already told pals he was unhappy because things were growing strained between him and his high maintenance wife.
And he finally snapped when he saw photos that were published of her drunkenly slumped in a nightclub, with her 32D assets on full display.
Jordan looked a mess at the Syndicate club in Bristol last Friday, guzzling vodka and snuggling up to a mystery man. She also kissed a second man outside.
Peter knew nothing of her antics until he saw the snaps. And a friend said:
“To say he was furious is an understatement. It was the last straw.”
With what clearly appears to be the result of Sun In, Kim Kardashian introduced her new, somewhat blonde locks.
However, Kim claims that she was wearing a wig. She took to her blog,
“It’s a wig! Did I have you fooled? I did a fabulous photo shoot this weekend and they put this hair piece on! I haven’t taken it off since, because I’m really loving the look. I’ve been wearing it around New York and everyone thought it was my real hair! It’s making me want to dye my hair and maybe go lighter for the summer. What do you think? Should I dye it for real?”
And we reply with a resounding “NO!” She looks like Beyonce, not a good thing!
Ashlee Simpson is a proud mama, sharing a new photo of son Bronx on Twitter. However, she may not be so proud of her husband’s recent antics in Las Vegas!
On Tuesday, Ashlee posted a photo of her four-month-old on the micro-blogging site, saying:
“I present you my little man and his adorable cheeks!”
Interesting timing, as Star magazine is reporting that Pete Wentz was getting wild in Sin City with scantily clad dancers and a boozy Slip ‘n’ Slide over the weekend.
The Fall Out Boy bassist — who was without his wife of nearly one year — partied hard with about 50 band members, dancers and pals (including Girls Next Door star Holly Madison) following a sold-out show at the Palms Casino Resort on April 5.
“Everybody was going absolutely crazy. People were even drunkenly playing makeshift Slip ‘n’ Slide with a mat and lubricant. And Pete was in great spirits. He was dancing and singing along to his band’s own songs, grinding up against the dancers.”
However, earlier in the day, Ashlee — who headed back home after attending FOB’s April 4 concert in Irvine, Calif. — Twittered: “I am beyond sad to leave my love… My heart is breaking as we drive home.” And also: “I need my hubs.”
Hundreds of thousands come together for the world’s largest penis festival. For bizarre celebrations Japan’s ‘Steel Phallus’ festival is hard to beat. Revelers from around the world descended on Kawasaki, Japan to take part in the annual Kanamara Matsuri festival - a Shinto fertility festival held in spring.
The event brings in people from around the globe including hundreds of Westerners trying to conceive. Transvestites, homosexuals and curious couples also show up for the parade through the streets.
The penis forms the central theme of the event and is seen in trinkets for sale including illustrations, candy, carved vegetables and decorations. The Shinto shrine at the centre of the event was once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
The celebrations are now used to raise money for HIV research.
The third in line to the throne, Prince Harry was snapped wearing a bra and downing beer on yet another boozy night out.
This isn’t all the crazy going on, Prince Harry was recently caught wearing pink nail polish.
Ruddy-faced Harry, 24, is shown in today’s Sunday Mirror clutching a beer can and wearing a wig, bracelet and freaking bra - at a gathering of the secret uppercrust TT Society.
The elitist society devotes itself to drinking - so Harry fits like a glove. As well as getting in touch with his feminine side, the prince also proudly wore his light blue and gold tie - given to members of the TT only after a special initiation ceremony.
One member said:
“The TT is very secretive and has strong links with the military and Oxford Brookes University - where a lot of the members met.
You have to be recommended for membership - and Harry fits the criteria perfectly because he loves being in the forces and getting p***ed.
Drinking is a massive part of the TT - events revolve around alcohol, where members drink until they throw up.”
The TT - originally a men only club - was opened up to women five years ago and now has 2,000 members, with its own Facebook page.
Member Alexander posted a note saying TT was about “naked roundabouts, tequila omlette, cider double vodkas, alcohol, loyalty… Guaranteed to make friends for life”.
Dina Lohan wanted to take her daughters out for a special night. Sounds nice, except it was to go partying in a Hollywood nightclub.
The mother of the year escorted Lindsay Lohan and 15 year old Ali Lohan to Villa nightclub in Hollywood, but they wereDENIED because of Ali’s age. Dina stupidly protested,
“Do you know who I am?”
Yes, we all know who you are, unfortunately. We also know how horrible of a mother you are. If this wasn’t bad enough, Lindsay jumped in.
“You’re making a huge mistake. Huge!”
What exactly does Lindsay think she can do about it? Smear their name? Persuade all of her friends to boycott the establishment? Ha!
For years now Steve-O has called me “the Captain” and is complimentary about the lengths I have gone to to do whatever it is we do in our films. As you know Steve-O is no slouch either when it comes to being alligator bait, shark bait, or if you are traveling with him from London to Russia and back, masturbate (that last reference is for another story).
Well anyway, the small amount of courage I have been able to muster up for my bull stompins’ and rocket ridins’ does not even rate compared to what he has done in this last year. As of March 9th 2009, he has been sober for one full year and I find that amazing.
Let me put it into perspective; standing in front of a bull who wants to stomp you to death only takes 30 seconds of your time. Steve-O has had the bull of addiction trying to stomp him to death for the past 375 days now. Every waking second he is facing that beast and Steve-O is kicking its damn ass. Unbelievable. Steve-O you are braver than I could ever hope to be. If I am the Captain, you are the god-damned Colonel and I salute you buddy.
Howard K. Stern is turning himself in tonight — he’s being arrested for allegedly illegally obtaining prescription drugs for Anna Nicole Smith.
California drug officials recently raided the Los Angeles office of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, looking for evidence against Stern.
Stern has denied doing anything illegal in connection with drugs and Anna Nicole.
Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich are being charged with a total of eight felonies.
According to the L.A. County D.A., the conspiracy counts allege the three defendants conspired to furnish controlled substances to Smith from between July 2004 and January 2007.
Stern and Kapoor were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance.
Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 2004 and January 2007.
Kapoor and Eroshevich were each charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by “fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.” They were both also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.
Kapoor and Stern were also charged with one count of “prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict.” Eroshevich was charged with the same crime for separate prescriptions.
Too much, too little, too late…. no?
Update: Here’s Howard’s mugshot — attractive. He looks like he was on a few drugs himself.
A month after Kelloggs dropped Olympic champion Michael Phelps‘ endorsement contract, a California food bank has gotten a sudden windfall…
two tons of Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes with the gold medal winner on the box.
The boxes, featuring Phelps flashing his pearly whites, flew off the shelves at the San Francisco Food Bank and employees even kept a few as souvenirs, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
“We do regularly see products with packages that are no longer desirable,” a spokeswoman at the food bank told the paper. “Though Kellogg’s and their star spokesman hit a patch of rough water, San Francisco’s hungry just got thrown a life preserver.”
The paper said Kellogg’s declined to say whether they were lightening their load of Phelps’ products by dumping boxes on food banks but the 3,800 pounds of flakes that landed there two weeks ago made some at the food bank suspicious.
“It’s (cereal) a tough item to get,” Paul Ash, executive director at the food bank, told the paper. “In the last six or eight years, it’s become very hard to get ahold of.
Phelps was dropped from Kellogg’s after a photograph surfaced showing him with a bong at a party in South Carolina . The cereal giant chose not to renew his endorsement deal in February.
Octo Mom Nadya Suleman is without a publicist — again. Victor Munoz stated that he quit as Suleman’s rep Friday night.
“It just got to be too much. It’s pretty much a free for all over there right now. They are freaking out right now.
Not to sound arrogant, but those people depended on me for everything. You have no idea what I’ve had to do for these people.
Nadya got real greedy. This woman is nuts. This I can say: what ultimately destroyed the business arrangement was personal reasons.”
The woman is nuts… you think?
Munoz — who plans to meet with his lawyers Monday to go over the terms of his contract and confidentiality clause — did not go into further detail.
Suleman’s first publicist, Joann Killeen, stepped down after her firm received over 100 graphic e-mail and voicemail threats.
“They’d put me in the wood chipper and throw me in the bottom of the ocean and hope I die,” Killeen has said. “We’ve gotten her through the worst part of it and now they are putting their venom and anger toward us.”
Bianca Gascoigne, a renowned British glamour model and television personality, has never been shy about making a fool of herself in public, bad mouths are saying.
However, even for her, there is a rock bottom, and she hit it last year, during an MTV photoshoot in Spain, which the music network just aired the other day as part of her show “The Celebrity Agency,” the British media is reporting.
From what the video shows, Bianca was so intoxicated, that she could barely stand to pose for pictures for MTV. At one point, her people decided that it was about time they called it a day and one tried to show Bianca to a sun lounger, but the star was so out of it that she tripped, fell and landed on her head. The same woman is then shown trying to take Bianca to her hotel room to sleep it off.
Apparently, the star, daughter of famous footballer Paul John Gascoigne, got so drunk after she had one too many vodkas because she was cold. As she herself explains upon sobering up, the vodka and lack of food brought her into that state, much to her shame and embarrassment. “I’m really embarrassed about the photoshoot now. We were travelling to different beaches all day and it was quite cold, so I was drinking vodka to keep warm. The problem is, I just kept on drinking and hadn’t had anything to eat because I didn’t want my belly sticking out.” the star says to the cameras.
Sadly, she did not stop here either. “Later in the show, her agent is seen undressing, bathing and putting her to bed as she couldn’t walk or stand. She then tells her boss that she has positioned Bianca ‘head-to-face down’ to stop her swallowing her own vomit. After the shoot, also attended by glamour model Charlotte Mears, who had to help her stay up, her worried agent describes Bianca as ‘uncontrollably drunk.’” the Daily Mail writes about the episode that MTV just aired.
While, as noted above, Bianca is no stranger to controversy and embarrassing herself in front of the cameras, the incident is described by her friends as extremely painful for her family, especially since her father has been struggling with alcohol addiction for years.
Last week Coed Magazine posted a thorough list of the most successful potheads on the planet, shattering the myth that smoking marijuana dooms you to a life of failure and worthlessness.
While we were all very proud of the list, there was one glaring problem with it: there were no chicks on the list! Can you believe it? As any avid pothead knows, girls love to get high just as much as guys.
Anna Faris:
Anna has come a long way since her Scary Movie days. Not only has she made the jump from being ‘cute as a button’ to ’smoking hot’, she’s also gone from casual smoker to full on pothead. Her turn as a stereotypical pothead in the stoner comedy Smiley Face was tellingly accurate, earning her the esteemed High Times Magazine Stonette of the Year award in 2007. Anna considers winning the award (which is a bong) to be the highlight of her career, and says that she uses it regularly to celebrate and enjoy herself at the same time.
Minka Kelly:
It’s no secret to the people in Austin, Texas that Minka Kelly smokes a ton of weed. The Friday Night Lights star hails from the hippie oasis, where shoes are always optional and joints are sparked publicly. While you won’t find any evidence of Minka’s stoner ways anywhere on the web, trust us, if you ever see her out in Austin, offer her a joint. You won’t regret it
Charlize Theron:
When Charlize first decided to become an actress, everybody said she’d never make it because - get this - she was too beautiful. Sound like those people underestimated the demographic known as ‘men’. Years later, Charlize is an Academy Award winning bombshell whose love of weed is hardly a secret. Her preferred method of intake is the ever-convenient apple pipe, which she has been photographed enjoying right in her own back yard.
Lindsey Evans:
You may have never heard of Lindsey before, but trust us, she has sacrificed more for her love of marijuana than most will in their lives. A true southern belle, she was crowned Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008 after placing second in the 2007 contest. She wore her crown and sash with honor and respect until one day when her love of weed got the best of her. She and a few friends skipped the bill at a restaurant because of slow service, and Lindsey accidentally left her purse behind. In that purse? A big fat bag of weed! The Miss Teen Louisiana people didn’t appreciate the deviance, so they stripped her of her crown.
Danneel Harris:
Danneel is the only star of Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay willing to admit to regularly smoking pot. This admission earned her High Times Magazine’s coveted Stonette of the Year award in 2008. But really, when you’re this hot, you can pretty much admit you do anything and people will still like you.
Kristen Stewart:
The fierce star of Twilight, that vampire movie none of us saw, Kristen is new to Hollywood, but no stranger to marijuana. Since she came on the scene in 2008, she’s been photographed smoking a bowl in public and wearing a pot leaf bikini. While most starlets might be worried about their public image, Kristen obviously doesn’t give a f*ck what people think about her. She’s got that Twilight thing to fall back on, and she’ll smoke weed where she damn well pleases.
Cameron Diaz:
A lifelong pot smoker, not only does Cameron has talk openly about her love of weed, she also likes to keep very stoned company. Former boyfriend Justin Timberlake is a notorious pothead, and close friend Drew Barrymore has a well known love for the leaf. Cameron and Drew were even photographed getting high in their bikinis once.
