Jermaine Jackson at Center of Stun Gun Drama


Jermaine Jackson, brother of the late Michael Jackson, has had some interesting things happen in his life. Most recently, his teenage son tried to taser Blanket.

A messy divorce between Jermaine and his ex-wife likely set events in motion that resulted in the stun gun drama that made headlines in this slow news week.

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services came knockin’ at the Jackson family home in L.A. after reports of the kids playing with a taser.

Here’s the lowdown. Jermaine filed for divorce from Alejandra Jackson in 2004. The couple fought hard over child support. Pretty standard stuff at the time.

Despite their split, Jermaine pressured Alejandra to live with their two kids – Jaafar and Jermajesty (yes, Jer-effing-majesty) in the Jackson family home.

That way, he wouldn’t have to pay her support.

DON’T TASE ME BRO: Jermaine could use a good zap.

However, Alejandra complained most of the support money she received actually came from Katherine Jackson, mother of Jermaine, Michael, Janet et al.

That support was often doled out in gift cards to Ralph’s … where Jaafar bought a credit card so he could buy a stun gun online to allegedly zap Blanket.

Resourceful little devil, no?

Alejandra Jackson has indeed been living at Katherine’s with Jaafar and Jermajesty, plus Genevieve and Randall, her two children with … Randy Jackson.

Yup, she was also married to another Jackson brother at one point.

Michael Jackson’s three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, have been living with Katherine, as per Michael Jackson’s will, since he passed away last June.

She’s got a lot on her plate, in other words, for a 79-year-old. As a result, the occasional taser may or may not slip through the cracks. Give her a break.

Lady Gaga Fashion Watch: Hair Phone Reloaded!


Okay, it’s more phone headpiece than the true hair phone she debuted last month. But Lady Gaga promoted her single, “Telephone,” the way Lady Gaga does.

In London, the singer showed off her latest innovative fashion during an appearance on BBC’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, which airs tomorrow evening.

Wonder if she gets good reception on that sucker …

Hair Phone Reloaded!

ANYBODY HOME? Lady Gaga’s fashion might make you wonder that, but the girl is no gimmick, backing up her bombastic attire with numerous chart-topping singles.

Whether she’s wearing scrap metal or lightning bolts on her dome, or topless and bulging out of lingerie, you know Lady G always provides discussion fodder.

Marie Osmond Schedules Return to the Stage


Two weeks after her son committed suicide, Marie Osmond will return to the Las Vegas stage.

The singer and brother Donny will sing again for audiences on March 9. They have also added a handful of dates to their Sin City show, in order to make up for canceled performances in wake of their recent family tragedy.

The duo has tacked on five shows between April 13 and 17 at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino.

Marie and Donny Osmond

“These were previously unscheduled show dates, added to accommodate guests who had tickets to recently canceled shows due to the personal tragedy in the Osmond family,” read a press release, while the show’s producer added:

“I think performing will help the healing process for [Marie].”

We wish her the best.

Chris O’Donnell: “Family is my number-one priority”

After two decades in showbiz, Chris O’Donnell still has his feet on the ground. The current NCIS: Los Angeles actor, who became a true Hollywood hunk after starring in 1995’s Mad Love opposite Drew Barrymore, would rather spend a night at home with his wife and children than walk the red carpet. “Family is my number-one priority. I can’t handle being away that long. The highs are so high in this business, and the lows are so low, but you know at the end of the day you see those beautiful kids, and nothing else matters,” Chris told In Touch about his wife, Caroline and their five children before he was honored at Cosmopolitan’s Fun Fearless Males of 2010 Awards in New York on March 1. With a red-hot career and a full house, how does the actor keep the sparks alive with his wife of 12 years? “It’s really important to just keep a date night and make time for one another,” he added.

Source: Grand Jury to Indict John Edwards


John Edwards is already a walking disgrace, having cheated on his cancer-stricken wife with Rielle Hunter, knocking up his weird mistress, trying to cover the scandal up, and lying about it repeatedly while running for President of the United States.

Now a Federal grand jury may decide there was criminal behavior in there, too.

The former U.S. Senator may find himself indicted shortly, according to reports, for illegally using campaign funds to hide his affair with Hunter.

One-time aide Andrew Young and none other than Edwards’ own estranged wife Elizabeth could help take the fallen presidential candidate, too.

Edwards is being investigated by FBI, IRS and election officials for myriad possible campaign violations related to paying hush money to Rielle Hunter.

The grand jury has been convened since April, and an indictment is imminent.

Big Time Liar

FALL FROM GRACE: There’s truly never been one like this.

“John is terrified he’s going to be indicted,” a friend said.

“While he believes he’s done nothing illegal in trying to hide his affair with Rielle and their daughter, he thinks the Feds are going to make an example out of him.”

Right. Make an example of him. Because they do that. Sorry, John, weren’t you a personal injury lawyer at one point? They never make examples out of anything.

Tell us, how’s the view look from the other side? What’s the saying? Do the crime, do the time, pal. All because you had to go and do Rielle Hunter.

So worth it right now.

Ke$ha Calls Out Britney Spears for Lip-Synching “Bull$hit”


A couple weeks ago, we were criticized for writing that Adam Lambert blasted Susan Boyle’s album and rendition of “Wild Horses.” Fans of the American Idol finalist thought that was a misrepresentation of his comments.

But make no mistake now: Ke$ha has very much torn into Britney Spears.

In a new interview, the outspoken singer was asked about Britney’s habit of lip-synching during concerts and replied:

“I think that’s bull$hit. I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. If you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.”

Crazy PerformerSinging Not Required

“If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans… It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing… I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans.”

This isn’t the first time Spears has been called out for pretending to sing live. A few months ago, fans in Australia walked out of Britney’s Circus tour due to the singer’s shoddy lip-synching and general performance.

What do you think of Ke$ha’s comments? Fair or foul?

Erica Mongeon in Coma Following Car Accident


It was easy to laugh at Erica and Victoria Mongeon during their MTV reality show run. Better known as the Ikki Twins, these sisters starred as lesbians on the dating series A Double Shot at Love.

But this is no laughing matter: Erica is in a medically-induced coma after being injured in a major car accident yesterday.

The siblings were passengers in a Volkswagen Jetta that hit a tire in the road and was subsequently rear-ended by a truck when the driver attempted to pull over. The crash took place near Bakersfield, California.

Erica and Victoria Mongeon

“Right after the accident everybody was feeling OK, but Rikki had a bump on her head and nobody thought it was a big deal, but for just for the heck of it they went to the hospital,” rep Rick Brown told E! News, explaining how things got worse from there:

“Then, the doctors did a test that said she had bleeding in her skull. She never felt bad, like you would expect, but they put her into a medically-induced coma and will keep her down until Friday. The plan is to bring her out of the coma on Friday and take it from there.”

Neither Victoria nor the car’s driver were seriously injured.

Brown has asked fans to pray for Erica, though she’s expected to survive.

Crystal Bowersox Rocks, and Other American Idol Women Sing Well


She went from the hospital bed to the American Idol stage to the leader of the season nine pack in just 24 hours.

Indeed, we aren’t the first website to shower Crystal Bowersox with praise – and we definitely won’t be the last – but it’s well-deserved.

On a night of live performances that overshadowed the guys’ lackluster efforts the evening before, Bowersox recovered from a dangerous illness and led the way. We run down the top 10 below…

  1. Crystal Bowersox: She gets points for showing up and for not playing the sympathy card. But especially for her unique rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Long As I Can See the Light.”
  2. Lilly Scott: A close second. Challenged herself with the Sam Cooke classic “A Change is Gonna Come” and was even better than last week. Love her confidence in just who she is.
  3. Michelle Delamor: Note to Todrick Hall: this is how you re-arrange a song! Michelle comes across as a professional singer and turned a Creed rock single into a ballad.
  4. Siobhan Magnus: The anti-Aretha Franklin sung Franklin’s “Think” and showcased her versatility. The place went nuts when she hit her high notes.
  5. Katelyn Epperly: Ellen was off base with this critique. The song was supposed to be slow, and the use of the piano proved that Katelyn has multiple sides to her.
  6. Katie Stevens: She has a great voice and a great personality. The judges have to get over the fact that she’s 17 and just let her sing.
  7. Paige Miles: It’s always daring to take a song by an American Idol winner, but Miles did Kelly Clarkson’s “Walk Away” sort of proud. Definitely needed more of an edge to it.
  8. Didi Benami: We felt terrible for when the tears welled up during the judges’ criticism. But “Lean On Me?” Really? It’s impossible to make that song your own at this point.
  9. Lacey Brown: Simply not up to par, vocals-wise, with the other contestants.
  10. Haeley Vaughn: We’re all for being happy, but her constant smiling freaks us out. She’s like a doll of some kind.mi

It’s a clear choice, in our view: Lacey and Haeley should go home tonight. What do you think?

Chick Claims Affair with Engaged Jake Pavelka, Says ABC “Instructed” Vienna Girardi Proposal


Radar Online may have topped itself with this one.

Citing an ex-girlfriend with no name, and offering no details of any actual sex, that site says Jake Pavelka cheated on Vienna Girardi with some random ex.

His alleged ex-girlfriend says The Bachelor star “made contact” with her after taping the show. Scandalous! He also said that Vienna meant nothing to him.

Supposedly.

The woman has not been publicly identified, possibly because she does not exist. But whoever it is gave a garbled interview on some Florida radio station.

In the interview, the woman says that Jake was forced to propose to Vienna Girardi. From what we know of The Bachelor, that part might really be true!

Jake and Vienna on Ellen

For a guy who’s supposedly cheating on Vienna and in love with some nameless other woman, Jake sure looked happy yesterday in his sit-down with Ellen DeGeneres.

“When you get down on one knee and propose marriage to someone I take that very seriously,” she says through distorted audio. “The fact that he did that exclusively because he was instructed to do that, it disappoints me so much.”

Instructed. You knowz it. That’s how Chris Harrison rolls.

The supposed Jake Pavelka ex reveals that they had made plans together for the future and even had a possible marriage discussion. She feels she was lied to.

“His actions are a complete 180 of that person he claims to be,” she says. “I feel like I’m forced to say something for the sole purpose of defending my honor.”

Mmm hmm. This is even more absurd than the story yesterday claiming Vienna is an evil mastermind who manipulated Ali and conned Jake into proposing.

Jake started calling her after he finished taping The Bachelor, she says, and those phone calls led to an in person meeting and “he told her he loved her.”

Whether this is true or complete BS, the question remains: Will Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi last, and actually walk down the aisle?
