Ms. Hudson is survived by Slash, whose real name is Saul Hudson, his younger brother Ash Hudson, and her ex-husband artist Anthony Hudson. Slash said of his family in a Rolling Stone interview, "I come from a very loving and supportive family, thank God. I could be a lot worse than I am now."

Michael Jackson is opening a Thriller Casino

Being almost $100 million in debt would make anyone reconsider their options. Word is Michael is planning to open a "Thriller" themed casino in Vegas in 2010. I would definitey go. It sounds cool! I guess they would scare you into spending your money. :)

The King of Pop is a Lightweight

"Thank you for your love and support, I want you guys to know I love you very much," he said, before adding, "I don't know how I'm going to do 50 shows. I'm not a big eater - I need to put some weight on."

Am I the only one who thinks 50 shows is too much?

The Jackson Reunion is On Again

According to TMZ Michael Jackson confirmed he will go ahead and perform the one-night-only concert with his brothers and Janet in Texas. He also intends to keep his engagement in London's O2 Arena. The only problem is, his London gig violates the agreement Michael's rep signed with the Texas promoters; in the agreement, Michael can't perform anywhere else for 18 months. If Michael shows for the concert in the Lone Star State, he will earn a $3 million pay check; the rest of the Jackson 5 will split $500,000. Read that last part over again and let it digest. No word on how much Janet will earn.

Ego Never Takes A Break

BEYONCE's SINGLE LADIES (PUT A RING ON IT) hit has become a happy curse for the R&B diva - she can't stop dancing when the tune comes on the radio.The hitmaker admits she usually changes channels when someone else's song one of her tracks is played, but there's something about the catchy tune that makes her want to dance. She says, "I can't stop seeing dollar signs the choreography (in the video) when I hear it. My foot just starts doing the steps. "It's so embarrassing. I don't want people to think I'm dancing to my own song, but I can't help it. My songs are the only ones worth dancing to."

Michael has already canceled some concerts

If you have any money at all you should consider putting it on these concerts:

Michael Jackson has already cancelled his first 4 shows in London's O2 Arena. The first show was originally scheduled for July 8th but has been pushed back to the 13th. The other 3 shows have been postponed until March 2010.

The official reason for the delay is the elaborate stage. Jackson's people blame the close scheduling of Madonna's show at the arena and clame they don't have enough time to construct Jackson's sets. Unofficial rumors say Mike is too weak and out of shape to make it through an entire show with all the singing and dancing. I hope those rumors are false. These shows promise to be the greatest show on Earth.

She's so sick and filthy with Benjis

Beyonce continues to feel your pain in this recession. In her interview in the June issue of UK Glamour Beyonce reveals her storage issues:

"Put it this way, I've turned my old apartment into a closet," Bey lamented.
"I probably get about 15 bags sent to me a month. Armani gave me this croc bag, which was huge - I could only imagine how much that thing cost. It would be so expensive that even I wouldn't buy it.”

By the way, the bag in the pic is the $42,000 Louis Vuitton Tribute Bag a.k.a. the Frankenstein. Supposedly there are only 24 in existence. Some feel that is 24 too many.

The Neverending Wardrobe Malfunction

Her ti^^y hasn’t been hanging out for 5 years so why is this case still hanging on? Janet—Miss Jackson if you’re nasty’s 2004 Superbowl “wardrobe malfunction” lasted 9/16ths of a second; this was barely long enough for most viewers to even notice the ti^^y was out. Still, the case has wound its way up to the Supreme Court of the United States. On Monday, the High Court directed an appellate court to reconsider reinstating the more than half-million dollar fine against CBS Corp. imposed by the FCC for transmitting indecency. For those of you who missed it. If you’re impatient, skip to 1:19

Yes, Michael is being sued AGAIN!

Michael Jackson's longtime spokesperson Raymone Bain is suing him. Here is her statement:

"It is with deep regret that I find myself at this place, having to file a lawsuit against my longtime employer, and someone whom I have greatly admired and respected, Michael Jackson.“Mr. Jackson and I have had a long, productive and mutually beneficial business relationship.“Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligationsof our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson’s failure to honor his obligations.“This lawsuit will result in some discussion about the relationship between Mr. Jackson and me. Hypothetical theories, accusations and rumors, if gauging from the past, will be many. However, all of these will be replaced in court with the truth."

She has worked for him for years. Michael's brother fired her in 2005 during Michael' child molestation trial. Michael turned around and made her General Manager of his company in 2006. What kind of hold does she have over him? If she has known and worked for him for all this time, girlfriend should know without a doubt that Michael can't be bothered with paying bills himself--he is too busy being a musical genius. She should see his accountants about that little bill of hers.
