Normally I don’t go for horror flicks, but I think I’ll have to catch the upcoming Megan Fox flick, Jennifer’s Body. Megan plays an evil lesbian cheerleader who kills boys. Amanda Seyfried is trying to stop her. Need I say more? Trailer above.

Joe Jackson granted an interview to ABC news — you can watch a clip here — in which he spoke about his son Michael’s death.  He stated that he truly believes MJ died at the hands of foul play and also alluded to Michael’s children being in show business.  Some people never learn …  Even when asked what he remembered most about his son, it was about his performing ability.  I haven’t heard this man talk at all about Michael, the person.

There is a protocol followed by most major news outlets:  they don’t pay for interviews.  But they do pay licensing fees for media that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to, such as home movies.  Joe Jackson, ever the opportunist, accepted a payment of $200,000 from the network in exchange for early home movies of his meal ticket Jackson that were used in the interview.

Things on the horizon that you can expect:  A book “written” by Joe Jackson, a Jackson family tour complete with Michael’s kids, civil lawsuits filed by Joe aimed at every health care professional who ever met Michael, King of Pop merchandise licensing deals on everything from lunch boxes to cereal boxes.  After all, Michael’s death is a business — a profit-making venture.  To his father, at least.

Rachael Ray had surgery last week to remove a benign cyst from her vocal cords.  Actually, the best news I could have heard all week would have been that the surgeon sneezed during a critical phase of operating and accidentally severed her vocal cords altogether.  But, since she hasn’t been rendered speechless, at least she’ll stop sounding like a fisher cat in heat.  Or Brooke Hogan trying to sing.  

Feel better soon, Rachael!

Being an “actress” isn’t going so hot for Lindsay Lohan, but her leggings line did well and her self-tanner’s holding its own, too, so it looks like the starlet is looking to do some more off-screen work: She and her fashion-line partner, Kristi Kaylor, have launched a production company called Unforgettable Productions.

The duo are developing several projects including a TV show called “Faux Real,” described as “Entourage” for the fashion world.

There’s also a game show involving dating tentatively called “That’s What Friends Are For” and a “docu-cause” TV show the pair will produce in conjunction with a charitable organization.

Kaylor said they’re also in the midst of optioning a couple of books — one for film and the other for TV.

Before her career in fashion, Kaylor was senior vp of Pacific Motion Pictures and had a producing deal with Longbow Prods. In 1999, she partnered with Jennifer Aniston for Voxxy, an online destination for girls that eventually was turned into a magazine catalog and sold.

Lohan and Kaylor intend on weaving digital media into everything they create at Unforgettable.

“We’re taking a 360-degree approach,” Kaylor said. “Lindsay is 23 years old, and she’s so plugged in to mobile media.”

Ya know, I have to hand it to her: Even though her acting career is circling the drain, Lindsay Lohan’s still finding ways to capitalize on her name and bring in the money. It’s almost — dare I say it? — smart. I’ll be very interested to see how these shows do.

Is Ben Affleck becoming the new Jennifer Aniston?  It’s entirely possible, because he recently spoke with Contact Music about the time that he was one half of the duo Bennifer.

BEN AFFLECK has spoken out about his high-profile relationship with former girlfriend JENNIFER LOPEZ – insisting it was bad for his movie career.
The actor began dating the singer in 2002 after starring in Gigli with her, and the pair later became engaged before splitting up shortly before their scheduled wedding in 2004.
Affleck is adamant he should never have got involved in the first place – because the publicity surrounding their romance tainted his career.
He says, “I was no longer in control of my life. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn’t. I got lost. I felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I should never have gone down that route or got sucked in to all the publicity.
“I was typecast as myself. Too many people weren’t getting past what they read about me. That was damaging. I can tell from experience it’s bad for you, and bad for your career. So I took a break, went away for a while and let things calm down.”

Coincidentally, all things J. Lo make me feel suffocated too.  Of course that might have to do with my burying my face in a pillow and screaming whenever she appears on my radio or television screen.

Ben, you are a wise man and no longer overexposed.  Now, could you speak with a certain over-peroxided couple that need to learn the same lesson that you did?

Artie Lange, best known as the comedian who replaced Jackie Martling on Howard Stern’s radio show, was arrested in Tom’s River, New Jersey this afternoon. 

Lange, who was banned from HBO live events last month after making homophobic remarks, also wrote the book “Too Fat to Fish.”  Too bad that he is obviously too stupid to know that drinking and driving is never a good thing.
