Sasha told you yesterday about the unfortunate passing of Marie Osmond’s son, but today we have more details on his suicide. Michael Blosil, moments before his death, told a girlfriend whom he went to fashion school with that there was a suicide note at his place. By the time the friend arrived to Michael’s apartment, he’d already thrown himself from his 15-story window unbeknownst to any of his roommates. In the note, Michael told his friend that she was the only person he felt close to in LA and that his unhappiness had taken over.

Then the police arrived, who had been called by a neighbor who spotted Michael’s body. As of right now, it’s unknown wether or not drugs or alcohol played a role in his death. The autopsy is taking place today, so we may have more details about that soon.

It’s obvious that this death was completely preventable, but whatever Michael was dealing with, taking his own life was not the best option. If you ever find yourself in a similar position, do not hesitate to get help. #mce_temp_url#

“At 26 I started running with hippies, going to underground events, I was really drawn to that crowd, everyone embraced each other’s differences. It didn’t get to the stage where it ruined my life or where it was anything too serious but it was definitely something I tried. There are certain drugs out there that are really fun and recreational and can mean a good time. I’m not an advocate for drugs but it is all rock and roll and we are all adults.”

- Adam Lambert opens up about his relationship with drugs.

Rihanna’s new man, LA Dodger Matt Kemp, seems like a pretty decent guy. He’s no John Mayer, anyway. Matt recently sat down for an interview with FoxSports where he was supposed to be chatting all about baseball, but of course the subject quickly turned to his new lady. Matt definitely acknowledged that he’s been hanging out with RihRih, but like a true gentleman, he didn’t get in to the details.

Hartman: Did you buy [Rihanna] a diamond necklace?

Kemp: (laughter) Come on, guys. Y’all are killing me, man.

Myers: It’s his business … [but] Are you guys dating? Can you clarify that?

Kemp: That’s just a good friend of mine.

Myers: Oh, OK.

Kemp: A very very good friend of mine. And we enjoy hanging out with each other and we’re just having fun.

Hartman: Now is she a baseball fan or…As friends what kind of common interests do you have?

Kemp: She’s a great person that loves to watch basketball. She likes basketball.

Hartman: And you’re a basketball guy, we know that…So you go to games together? You go to Laker games and stuff like that?

Kemp: Yeah, I’ve been to a couple games.

Myers: How did you two meet?

Kemp: How did we meet? (laughter) I thought we were talking about baseball, guys.

Myers: Well, we can. Now Matt you have to be realistic. Look at Lamar Odom. If you’re gonna date somebody who is as attractive, talented, and widely recognized…

Hartman: She’s an amazing girl.

Myers: …That comes with the territory. You know what it’s like being a celebrity in the baseball sense, so this is magnified. Are you ready for all that?

Kemp: Hey, it is what it is. If that’s what it comes with, that’s what it comes with. I’m just gonna continue to keep trying to hit home runs and help my team get to the World Series.

Maybe he’s not the Rude Boy she’s looking for (how freakin’ much do you guys love that song, by the way?), but at least he seems like a decent dude who respects her. That’s the very least that any woman can ask for and I’m not patting the dude on the back for not being a creep, but hey! This is a great turnaround after the whole Chris Brown thing, huh?

Jon Voight went out to breakfast in Los Angeles yesterday morning and he had a random little boy with him. OK, so he’s  probably a neighbor or a family friend or some Big Brother assignment, but there’s something a little strange-looking about the whole situation. For someone who seems to alienate the hell out of his real kids, why is Jon dragging yet another young person in to his life?

Even for the child of a celebrity, this is pretty low. Cameron Douglas’ lawyers went to bat for him in court today and told the judge that their client should be allowed bail because his persistent drug use? Not his fault. If you believe Cameron’s side of the story, anyway.

From ContactMusic:

Cameron Douglas was arrested last August (09) following a drugs raid on his room at the Hotel Gansevoort in New York City.

He was initially put under house arrest at his mother’s Manhattan address after pleading guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and one count of possession of heroin.

However, the 31 year old was thrown back behind bars after he allegedly asked girlfriend Kelly Sott to smuggle heroin to him in an electric toothbrush.

And during a request for bail on Thursday, the 31 year old’s defence lawyers claimed Douglas’ troubles stemmed from his “difficult upbringing” with his Oscar-winning father.

Defence attorney Dan Gitner said, “(Douglas’) serious heroin addiction (stems from) notoriety that is not due to any acts of his own but by dint of birth and a difficult upbringing.”

While fellow defence lawyer Nicholas DeFeis added, “He didn’t benefit from his celebrity. He was hurt by it in a variety of ways, including ways in this case.”

While I don’t think anyone would claim that being the child of a celebrity is totally easy, it’s definitely not so difficult that one’s bad behavior is excused. Think about the logic they’re trying to use. If a rapist whose father and mother were negligent drug abusers wanted to hit the town again after being arrested, would it be fair to let him go because he’s had a rough life? The reason why Cameron can’t get bail is because he’s proven himself to be untrustworthy over and over again. It’s gross that his lawyers would attempt to use this as some sort of justification for his crimes and it’s plain old pathetic if Cameron believes it to be true.

Elliott Yamin’s formerly stagnant career is about to crack wide open! (Too soon?)

The American Idol also-ran just happens to be in Chile right now, at the heart of the earthquake damage. He had recently wrapped up a performance at the Competencia Internacional in Viña del Mar, the largest music festival in Latin America, when the earthquake hit. He did what any reasonable person would do in that situation: he Twittered. (ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, LITTLE SIS? START TWITTERING HOURLY PLEASE.)

“Huge earthquake just now in Chile!!….I swear I thought this was the end of my life!!!!!” he wrote, and then continued to post updates on the situation regularly. Later, he wrote: “I’m totally calm now….were all 2gether…got blankets from our rooms, and we’re all hudled on the street..no aftershox in a while..” A couple hours later, he was worried about his insulin situation: “Imma Type 1 diabetic, and was sppsd 2 leave sunday.I only packed enuf insulin pump supplies 2 last til then….airports r closed!”

But, mostly, at this point, he’s Twittering about the TV interviews he’s doing as a result of being the closest thing to a U.S. celebrity we have in the entire nation of Chile right now. “Interview is gonna air on abc’s good morning america at 7:30 est…please tune in!!” and then “just got done w my 2day show interview on nbc.. gonna air at 8am EST, hope it helps get the word out..I am prayin 4 those in hard hit areas!”

I am praying for them as well. But, you know, if there’s any small ray of joy to be found in this terrible catastrophe, it’s that you might, sometime soon, hear “[insert the Elliott Yamin single I can't recall]” on the radio again. And definitely expect him to make a “very special” via-satellite appearance on Idol next week, before [insert list of female contestants who don't sing well and bore me and consider dreadlocks to be a musical style] perform and then [seriously I fucking hate that show without Paula].
