A WOMAN'S WORLD

michael-jackson-islam.jpgInteresting how WOMEN have become more and more influential in Michael Jackson’s life.There is no glass ceiling in his world. He’s fired nearly all of his male financial advisors and lawyers and his male publicist. His female publicist Raymone Bain has assumed the complex responsibility of running Michael’s world, along with Michael’s nanny Grace Rwaramba. The two women have become the most important people in Michael’s inner circle – Michael depends on THEM for advice, leaving his family out in the cold. Now that Michael is wandering around Europe looking for a place to live, some of his former associates are thinking he might move BACK to Neverland, believe it or not. It’s not sold, and the ranch actually earns money for Michael because he leases out acreage to cattle ranchers. There are now cattle grazing on the property. With the expensive frills elimininated, it’s certainly a plausible option for cash-strapped Michael.

JESSICA RABBIT

This comic actor is known from TV and movies as a clean cut, almost nerdy, but hilarious guy. But does HE like to party! At a recent VH-1 awards show in Las vegas he hooked up with a sexy femme who looks just like Jessica Rabbit – hugely endowed and curvy, with flowing red hair. They spent the whole weekend holed up in his room and rarely came up for air. Nonstop shenanigans – drugs, booze and kinky sex. After that first encounter she became a frequent visitor to his place in LA. Anything goes with “Jessica” – and he’s a willing partner. She likes guys to dress up in drag and he does. She even talked him into having a three way with his best friend and a good time was had by all. His friends are starting to wonder if he’s “addicted” – either to her or to sex, and how far this relationship will go.

SHE'S NOT FAKING

B000F21PMA.01-A2X3FMBNSRPS6U._SCLZZZZZZZ_V57375362_.jpg
Katharine McPhee is not faking illness to squirm out of the American Idols tour. Since she was diagnosed with laryngitis , there’s been a lot of speculation that Katharine had OTHER things she wanted to do, rather than tour with the gang. She has NOT been performing elsewhere as rumored. Our inside source tells us that Katharine has been forbidden to even speak – she communicates by “mouthing” words (not even whispering) or text messaging. She’s taken doctors orders very seriously, and hasn’t spoken at all at home. And she is actually very anxious to join the tour and see all her friends again. According to her doctor, it will happen any day now.

FIRST FAMILY

Here’s our handsome Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at a recent function with Maria and the kids. Two fun things to note about this photo- take a close look at Maria’s shirt – is that Michelangelo with some artfully placed decoration – or is it a bodybuilder posing? Also, you can’t miss Arnold’s lookalike mini -me son hammily poking his head into the picture. SOMEBODY’S a chip off the old block.

CONSTANT COMPANION

Here’s Jessica Simpson dashing through LAX to catch a New York flight Monday. She’s got her Maltese Daisy in her brand new Vuitton carrying case and the dog looks a bit worried. For good reason. On a recent airport visit Jessica carried her constant companion Daisy in her arms and when she reached the security area, absentmindedly plopped the pup down with her handbag on the conveyor belt to be x-rayed! Security pointed out her error and scooped up Daisy in the nick of time. Now her pooch travels in high style and observers say Daisy (named after her Dukes of Hazzard character) is a filling the void where Nick used to be.

WATCH YOUR BACK, PAM

kidrock9.jpgWhen Pamela Anderson returns from Europe, presumably with her new husband Kid Rock in tow, she’ll find herself in HOT WATER with her fanatical animal rights group PETA. Pam partnered up with her personal chef , Chef J, and they opened the Hollywood restaurant BlackSteel. The tasty and sophisticated menu devised by Chef J includes both foie gras and – hold onto your hats – lobster! PETA got wind of these forbidden menu items and they are FURIOUS. After all, Pam is their spokesperson! Pam would like to see the dishes removed from the menu but her chef isn’t convinced. She wants a peaceful partnership and certainly doesn’t want PETA on her back, so this is the dilemma she’ll come home to when the honeymoon is over. The question is: will PETA turn on one of their own and hurl red paint on the bride?

LOOK WHO'S KISSING HER NOW!

paris_kisses1.jpgThe president and the vice president of the “I hate Lindsay Lohan” club discovered they have something ELSE in common. Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis (who are fond of DENYING that they have anything against Lindsay despite evidence proving otherwise) are having a secret romance! Did their mutual dislike of La Lohan bring them together? It’s possible. But they’ve been friends for years and hang out a lot and right now both are achingly available. An insider revealed that they are doing more than partying together – they’re going HOME together. They were even caught kissing outside Paris’s house. Is it a match made in hell? Now Lindsay might have the last laugh.

HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME

8.jpgNow that most of us have seen my favorite movie of this summer, the delicious Devil Wears Prada, there’s still something to look forward to on the dog days of summer. A little independent movie called Quinceanera must NOT be overlooked simply because it doesn’t have a blockbuster publicity budget. Don’t miss it. If you live in LA , the characters and locations are delightfully familiar. If you live somewhere else, it’s a whole new world. Real estate, cholos, girl problems, all my favorite things. You’ll love the actors and the realistic situations. And you’ll walk out of the movie feeling happy. Watch for this little gem in August.

Nice dress, Geena, but this is what happens when you don’t lie down in the back seat of the limo on the way to the big event!

YOU LOOKIN' AT ME?

nickcarter2205.jpgNick Carter has packed on a few pounds since he dated Paris Hilton so no one was surprised to see him working out at 24 Hour Fitness in West Hollywood. The former Backstreet Boy DID sense lot of eyes upon him however, and seemed uncomfortable, according to our source. A guy walked up to Nick and said “Hey remember me? I was the friend of a girl you used to date.” He named the girl, and moody Nick snarled “I remember you – and she’s a f—— BITCH!” All the noisy machines seemed to stop at the same time and everyone heard his comment. There was an awkward silence and Nick left the gym shortly after .
