Russell Armstrong to Be Cremated

With Bravo still considering its options for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and with a new rumor spreading that Russell Armstrong recently broke the cheekbones of his wife, at least one aspect of this tragedy has been settled:
The late reality star will be cremated and a funeral will be held for him in Los Angeles next week.
Taylor Armstrong and Family
There had reportedly been a conflict over where Russell's ashes would be spread - California or Texas - but because the couple was still married at the time of his suicide, Taylor is making the funeral arrangement.
Troy Christiansen, an attorney for Russell's side of the family, tells TMZ the current arrangement is fine with his clients.

Happy 65th Birthday, Bill Clinton!

The 42nd President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton, celebrates his birthday today. The Big Dawg is now 65. Happy birthday, Bubba!
William Jefferson Clinton, the pride of Hope, Ark., remains the only Democrat to win two full White House terms since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
He also presided over the largest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history, and left office extremely popular despite being impeached.
Hey, no one's perfect, right?

His wife, Hillary Clinton, is currently U.S. Secretary of State. Their daughter, Chelsea, married Marc Mezvinsky last summer in New York State.
In a political flip-flop of Mitt Romney-esque proportions, Bill Clinton is marking his 65th birthday by going vegan. Seriously. No more burgers!
What a difference a quadruple bypass makes. "I like the vegetables, the fruits, the beans, the stuff I eat now," the ex-President tells CNN.
After experiencing heart problems leading up to the 2004 surgery, Clinton has now lost 20 lbs.: "I feel good, and I have so much more energy."
Glad to hear. Have a veggie burger on us tonight, BC!

Aubrey O'Day Does What Aubrey O'Day Does Best

Aubrey O'Day is still around, and doing whatever it is she does.
The singer/reality star was out on the town at a launch party for Kim Kardashian's Kollection on Wednesday evening in a pink and black striped "dress."
Aubrey was seen at another point that same night at a party for the LG Revolution wearing the same thing, and at a Verizon party the following night.
Same outfit. Why argue with a good thing? Or two?
Aubrey O'Day, Breasts
In the mind of Aubrey O'Day, nothing demands major breast exposure like a party for Kim Kardashian, a new cell phone or clothes you can buy at Sears.

Dr. Conrad Murray Seeking Jury Sequestration, Protection From "Character Assassination"

Dr. Conrad Murray's legal team believes sequestering the jury is the only way to ensure his fair trial in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case.
Charged with involuntarily causing the King of Pop's death, Murray wants the court protect him and the system from "character assassinations."
The name Nancy Grace has come up more than once from Murray's lawyers, citing the case of Casey Anthony, who ended up walking in July.

Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers say the only reason the Anthony jurors were unswayed by the media skewering of Anthony was because they were sequestered.
According to documents, Grace and others engaged in "nonstop on-air abuse of not only the defendant, but the jurors and defense attorneys involved."
The legal docs claim, "There is reasonable expectation that Dr. Murray's trial will be the most publicized in history," and that of the several hundred jurors polled during jury selection, only one claimed not to have heard of the case.
Judge Michael Pastor said last month he would consider sequestering the jury, although he felt it was unnecessary and expensive. Stay tuned ...

Lindsay Lohan Sues Pitbull Over Disparaging Lyrics

Lindsay Lohan is suing rapper Pitbull over disparaging lyrics in one of his songs. He does zing her pretty good, but a lawsuit? Get outta town.
The hit song, "Give Me Everything," contains this line: Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin', I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.
Oooh, that one hurt!
LiLo claims in her lawsuit that "the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants regarding the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff."
Yes, a PITBULL SONG is likely to to her irreparable harm.
Lindsay, who LOL-tastically claims she is "a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild," is suing under New York civil rights laws safeguarding one's name from being exploited for commercial purposes.
Lindsay Lohan alleges the song causes her "to be associated in connection with defendants" and seeks to halt broadcasting of the song. Good luck.

West Memphis Three Free from Prison After Guitly Plea, Insist on Innocence

Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. - who were convicted of murdering three Boy Scouts in 1993 and who have come to be known as "The West Memphis 3" - were released today after serving 18 years in prison.
In an odd, legal twist, the trio entered a plea of guilty in court... and were subsequently set free.
West Memphis 3 Mug Shots
The case grew in stature and publicity over the last few years, as new DNA evidence came to light that cast doubt on the conviction. Two documentaries were made about the West Memphis 3, with celebrities such as Eddie Vedder and Natalie Maines insisting on a retrial, and even showing up in court today.
The families of two of the victims even joined forces with the defense, proclaiming that Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley Jr. were innocent.

Charlie Sheen: A Changed Man?

With the exception of dodging some flying objects over the weekend, Charlie Sheen has remained relatively quiet over the last few weeks.
Heck, he's even made peace with Brooke Mueller.
It may be confusing to those of us used to the actor's Warlock ways, but Emilio Estevez says his brother is "a completely different guy." This time for good, supposedly.
Emilio Estevez PictureCharlie S. Pic
Speaking to Access Hollywood, Estevez says Sheen has his "voice back." The former Young Guns star credits a couple projects in the works for helping Charlie regain his "focus."
"He’s on a new show [Anger Management] and he’s gonna be roasted by Comedy Central – which I think is going to be hysterical," Estevez says. “I think that he’s really got it together. And he’s very excited about the crew of the show he’s putting together.”

Kate Plus 8: CANCELED By TLC!

Kate Gosselin's days as a reality star are over.
After years of providing insight into her domestic bliss with Jon Gosselin, then the ugly demise of her relationship with Jon Gosselin, as she raised their eight children all the while, TLC has pulled the plug on her show.
R.I.P. Kate Plus 8.
Kate Gosselin on Today Show Pic
"TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8," a network rep said. "By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone."
"TLC hopes to check in with Kate Gosselin and the family periodically."
Read: Probably never, but that sounds kind of polite at least.
Sad news for Kate, but probably good news for the kids, who have been scarred for life as it is. Many times over. Besides, she'll have more free time now, which should help her efforts to start dating again. There's a silver lining.

Steven Colver Sentenced to Life in Prison; Tylar Witt Gets 15 Years For Murder

Tylar Witt was 14 when she helped her boyfriend kill her mom.
She will be spending more years than that behind bars even after she was given a reduced sentence in exchange for testifying against her accomplice.
Steven Colver, now 21, was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of 47-year-old Joanne Witt in 2009. Witt, now 16, will serve 15 to life.
Tylar WittSteven Colver
Tylar Witt, who was convicted of second-degree murder, helped hatch the plot after Joanne Witt made a statutory rape complaint against her boyfriend.
Joanne gave police her daughter's diary. That was apparently enough to prompt Steven Colver to murder her, with Tylar aiding in the planning process.
Tylar testified at Colver's trial that they planned the killing together, but while he did it, she "put my hands on my ears, closed my eyes and hummed."
Michael Witt, who mopped up his sister's blood from her bed after she was stabbed 20 times, unleashed his anger, calling Colver a "psychotic S.O.B."

Kim Kardashian Wedding Update: Calm, But OMGGGG So Excited!!!!

Kim Kardahsian will be walking down the aisle this Saturday.
Despite the craziness of the planning and the natural pre-wedding jitters any girl gets before her second marriage, Special K is remarkably sanguine.
“I’m very calm,” Kim told Access Hollywood Sunday at the Do Something Awards in Los Angeles, regarding her wedding to NBA star Kris Humphries.
“Maybe last week I was a little bit more freaked out with space and invites, just making sure everything was perfect. But this week I’m totally calm.”
Kurvaceous
Totally calm doesn't mean she's not SO stoked, though!
The bride-to-be, who will be wearing a Vera Wang gown at her August 20 ceremony in Montecito, took to Twitter over the weekend to express her feelings:
“OMGGGG my wedding is a week away!!!! This is so crazy!!! I’m so happy!”
There you have it. If she does get kold feet, there's always kold hard kash to help kalm her nerves. Kim has plenty of endeavors to keep her occupied.
“I’m busy,” she said. “I have my big Sears launch (the Kardashian Kollection) this week, so I’m focusing on that. I’m working every day this week.”
Saturday night, all she'll have to focus on will be her wedding song, an E! kamera krew of 20 and Kris officially bekoming Mr. Kim Kardashian.

Gene Simmons, Kiss to Perform at Michael Jackson Tribute Show

Gene Simmons and KISS will be performing at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in October, according to the late star's mother, Katherine Jackson.
This is quite ironic, given Gene's comments about Michael.
Simmons went on record, after Jackson died no less, to say that "There is no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt."
Michael J. WalksKISS Singer
Simmons went on to say, "The only sexual references ever made about Michael Jackson that were made by anyone, anywhere in the world, have always been made by children, and specifically males usually 10 to 14 years of age."
"Never females, that age or older, and never grown men."
Um, yeah. Maybe he's letting bygones be bygones now?
In other news, Gene proposed to Shannon Tweed!!!!

Why?!? The Real Housewives to Go on Tour

In case the fact that Snooki has 2.6 million Twitter followers is not enough to shake your faith in humanity, consider this:
Multiple cast members from the Real Housewives franchise are going on tour, asking fans to dole out their hard-earned money for reasons completely unknown. Tickets go on sale August 19 and start - start! - at $49.50.
All the The Real Housewives of New Jersey

Adam Levine Slams American Idol Treatment of Gay Contestants

Maroon 5 singer and The Voice coach Adam Levine poses topless for the new issue of gay magazine Out, while taking shots at a rival singing competition.
Levine, whose brother is gay, takes American Idol to task for making its contestants allegedly "mask" their sexuality, as Adam Lambert recently claimed.
Runner-up Lambert said he wasn't allowed to discuss his sexuality on the show due to AI's restriction on contestants giving interviews during the season.
Adam Levine Shirtless
"What’s always pi**ed me off about American Idol is wanting to mask it, for it to go unspoken,” says Levine. “C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point?"
"On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives," he adds. "To me, the fact that The Voice didn’t have any qualms about being completely about it is a great thing.”
Ironically, on The Voice this spring, Levine was briefly criticized for a perceived slam of Lambert, whose hit song he claimed he had never heard of.

Miranda Cosgrove Update: In Cast, Thankful for Support

We have a quick update on the status of Miranda Cosgrove, following that singer's scary bus accident late last week.
Cosgrove was spotted in Los Angeles International Airport today, being wheeled through the terminal in a cast. Among other injuries, she suffered a broken angle on Thursday morning, when her tour bus ran into a tractor-trailer.

The artist is expected to make a full recovery, though she has placed her tour on indefinite hold.
"Thank u so much for all your messages. They mean so much to me," Miranda after the crash. "Yesterday was extremely scary & I'm just so happy everyone's gonna be okay."
Cosgrove's mother also suffered a few injuries, while the bus driver - whose tactics Miranda has credited for saving her life - was airlifted away from the scene and placed in critical condition.

Lindsay Lohan: Bloody, Lingerie-Wearing, Knife-Wielding Train Wreck!

Lindsay Lohan is wearing next to nothing, covered in blood and holding a knife. This combination of things can mean only one of two possible scenarios:
  1. A photo shoot for her friend Tyler Shields
  2. A typical night out for her at the clubs
Incredibly, it's the former. Photographer Shields again shows he will never run out of innovative ways to bring us Lindsay Lohan in a state of undress:
Lindsay Lohan Covered in Blood
"She's just so daring," Shields said of Lindsay Lohan in a recent interview with Art Info. "She's a character in herself and she is very good at it."
"I shoot her a different way than I think anybody else shoots her, and I think she knows that and I think we compliment each other very well."
It's true. Lots of people shoot take Lindsay Lohan photos, but Shields is the only guy we know who still does so outside of a courtroom setting.

Dr. Conrad Murray Defense May Subpoena Nine Other Michael Jackson Doctors

Dr. Conrad Murray's defense team has nine former doctors of Michael Jackson on its witness list for Murray's upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial.
Among the doctors on the list is Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist and friend whose treatment of the star has long been subject to scrutiny.
The last also includes Dr. Neil Ratner, who toured with Jackson in 1996 and 1997, and Dr. David Adams of Las Vegas, Nev., both anesthesiologists.
Bad DocThe Late MJ
Ratner confirmed that Michael Jackson suffered from a sleep disorder, but wouldn't elaborate further. It's anticipated that Murray's lawyers, Ed Chernoff and Michael Flanagan, will grill Ratner about the specifics of his medical treatment.
In all, Dr. Murray's lawyers list 103 people who could be called at the trial, including a nurse practitioner, Cherilyn Lee, who claims Jackson asked her for Propofol in the weeks leading up to his death, but she refused to supply it.
Lee, a nurse practitioner and nutritionist who worked for Jackson, claimed in the days after his sudden death that he had asked her for Propofol in April 2009, was served with a subpoena to testify at the trial by Murray's defense.
