Details are still way sketchy so I’ll put updates on this post as they come in, but TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson has been rushed to the hospital, a victim of cardiac arrest.  More soon…

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that, per conversations with Michael’s father Joe, the singer “is not doing well.”

The Scientologists are back to advertising on television.  So, are you looking for it?  I totally related to the emptiness, the lifelong void, the aching desire that the narrator referred to.  And he’s right, it can only be filled by one thing:  A Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

So while I enjoy that, jump in and enjoy the cool eighties ad, complete with volcano action as it should be.

It’s a weird picture of Mel Gibson, but it’s not every day that you get to see a jackass on a horse.

In Touch has an article in their print edition — and a huge thanks to our friends at Celebitchy for reading it and sparing the general public the pain — that shares all the details of Mel Gibson’s “generosity” towards Oksana Grigorieva AKA the woman carrying his spawn.  In addition to diamonds and a car and a promise of a nanny, he pays her a $10,000 for a monthly allowance.  And you know what I say to that?  Big deal.  I mean, this chick is going to have to put up with Mel Gibson in some capacity for at least the next 18 years.  $10K can’t buy enough tranqs to make that pain go away.

Granted, Oksana has her own career and doesn’t need Mel’s millions.  She’s obviously with him for his great personality.  You know, right after I wrote that her music didn’t completely sound like dying cats she friend requested me on Facebook.  When I saw the request I was thinking, “Why does that name sound familiar?”  After a minute I figured it out and accepted.  And was so tempted to write on her wall, “Sugartits!  Thanks for the add!”

I have to admit that Pete Wentz isn’t half as fun to write stories about since he stopped talking about his sex life every 20 minutes.  This new, more restrained rocker dude is a real snore.

Pete was out and about last night taking his emaciated looking wife Ashlee for a walk.  Actually, they were headed to the restaurant Angels & Kings — a hot spot that I’ve been wanting to call “Angels & Demons” every single time I’ve tried to write this story.

In a totally random and unrelated vein, the paps also took pics of Cameron Diaz on the same stretch of street.  When did she go from “cute surfer chick” to “lady who attends Botox parties”?

I was just chatting on Facebook with a friend of mine who said that she was sad that Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett didn’t have an opportunity to marry before she died.  I replied that, really, they had 29 years in which they could have married.  If you’re with someone for decades and don’t marry them, it’s probably because one or both parties don’t view it as a priority.

Therefore, I was surprised when Joy Behar announced that she was marrying her boyfriend of 26 years back in March.  The reasoning was to have the rights of a spouse, so that if either of them needed to make medical decisions for the other they’d be able.  Well, she changed her mind on tying the knot.

Behar explains, “I got cold feet again, so I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s off the table. What’ll happen is, when I decide to do it, I’ll do it, and then everybody will know I did it. I can’t make up my mind.”  The View host and the jilted groom, Steve Janowitz remain together, still.  According to Joy, “He says, ‘Do whatever you want.’”

If she’s so unsure after almost 30 years and he doesn’t care one way or another, I hope they don’t do it.  Someone should care about a decision that results in a legal bond to another.

Farrah Fawcett has succumbed to her battle with cancer this morning at the age of 62.

Best known for her role as Jill Monroe on the 1976-77 debut season of Charlie’s Angels (she made a few guest appearances in seasons three and four), Fawcett also won critical acclaim for a television movie The Burning Bed as well as both a movie and stage performance in Extremeties.

Despite reports of an impending wedding, Fawcett never married actor Ryan O’Neal, but was involved with him for 29 years.

In addition to O’Neal, she is survived by their son Redmond and her father James William Fawcett.
