How Much Will it Cost to Sleep in Michael Jackson’s Deathbed?
The King of Pop’s Bed Goes to Auction
Oh the circle of life. Celebrity is born. Celebrity entertains. Celebrity Dies. Stranger buys the tainted deathbed?
Doesn’t everyone want to go to sleep every night on the same bed that Michael Jackson was pumped with narcotics and never awoke from? If so, the King of Pop’s deathbed could be yours December 17, when celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien, president of Julien’s Auctions opens the sale.
The queen-size bed with antique frame (and hopefully new sheets) is just one of the many items from the Holmby Hills home where MJ died that will be included in the auction. Other items are a mirror from Jackson’s “inner sanctum” — a private bedroom in the home where NO ONE else was allowed to enter. Plus, paintings, sculptures and antique furnishings have been positioned as displays for the auction.
A rep for Julien’s told TMZ that the mirror contains an inspirational message Jackson scribbled on the piece for himself regarding his This Is It concert tour — which says, “TRAIN, perfection, March April. FULL OUT May.”
May give a whole new meaning to looking in the mirror and saying “Bloody Mary” three times! Maybe MJ will appear and do a quickie version of “Beat It”!
End of the World Guide
It’s the End of the World As We Know It?
>>>>>>>>November 11, 2011<<<<<<<<<
Seems like every few years a new zealot group emerges predicting the end of the World sending the gullible amongst us into a state of panic. May want to start your weekend early, since according to some, it may be your last. This Friday, November 11, 2011, get it 11/11/11 (clever cults) is the latest day to fear.
Where is this all coming from?
Apparently, “they” decoded the Mayan calendar again, noting how it ended in November 11, 2011, not December 21, 2012—Ooops!
“We are going to prove mathematically and scientifically and wise men’s reports in the past [as well as] with the Bible…that what we are saying is true,” a Kumasi-based Prophet, Rev. Peter Anamo had emphasized.
If anybody has any doubts, the Prophet says he is willing to submit himself for prosecution should his predictions turn out to be a hoax. Better dig a 6ft. hole!
MYTH 1-Maya Predicted End of the World in 2012
Remember now the date is 11/11/11, but originally predicted December 21, 2012, (give or take a day) was nonetheless momentous to the Maya as the end of a lengthy, complicated, cyclical calendar which will roll over again to Day Zero, beginning another enormous cycle-SURE!
“The idea is that time gets renewed, that the world gets renewed all over again—often after a period of stress—the same way we renew time on New Year’s Day or even on Monday morning,” said Aveni, author of The End of Time: The Maya Mystery of 2012.
MYTH 2-Breakaway Continents Will Destroy Civilization
In some 2012 doomsday prophecies, the Earth becomes a deathtrap as it undergoes a “pole shift.”
The planet’s crust and mantle will suddenly shift, spinning around Earth’s liquid-iron outer core like an orange’s peel spinning around its fleshy fruit.
2012, the movie, envisions a Maya-predicted pole shift, triggered by an extreme gravitational pull on the planet—courtesy of a rare “galactic alignment”—and by massive solar radiation destabilizing the inner Earth by heating it.
Breakaway oceans and continents dump cities into the sea; thrust palm trees to the poles, and spawn earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other disasters. Hopefully John Cusak will be around to save the world.
MYTH 3- Galactic Alignment Spells Doom
Some sky-watchers believe 2012 will close with a “galactic alignment,” which will occur for the first time in 26,000 years.
In this scenario, the path of the sun in the sky would appear to cross through what, from Earth, looks to be the midpoint of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Some fear that the lineup will somehow expose Earth to powerful unknown galactic forces that will hasten its doom—perhaps through a “pole shift” or the stirring of the super-massive black hole at our galaxy’s heart.
NASA’s Morrison has a different view. “There is no ‘galactic alignment’ in 2012,” he said, “or at least nothing out of the ordinary.”
MYTH 4-Planet X Is on a Collision Course With Earth
Some say it’s out there: a mysterious Planet X, aka Nibiru, on a collision course with Earth—or at least a disruptive flyby. A direct hit would obliterate Earth, it’s said. Even a near miss, some fear, could shower Earth with deadly asteroid impacts hurled our way by the planet’s gravitational wake.
Could such an unknown planet really be headed our way in 2012, even just a little bit?
“There is no object out there,” NASA astrobiologist Morrison said. “That’s probably the most straightforward thing to say.”
The origins of this theory actually predate widespread interest in 2012. Popularized in part by a woman who claims to receive messages from extraterrestrials. She calls herself a Zeta Emissary, named Nancy– not very alien, Nancy…hmmm…
MYTH 5-Solar Storms to Savage Earth
In some 2012 disaster scenarios, our own sun is the enemy. Our friendly neighborhood star, it’s rumored, will produce lethal eruptions of solar flares, turning up the heat on Earthlings.
Solar activity waxes and wanes according to approximately 11-year cycles. Big flares can indeed damage communications and other Earthly systems, but scientists have no indications the sun, at least in the short term, will unleash storms strong enough to fry the planet.
MYTH 6-Maya Had Clear Predictions for 2012
If the Maya didn’t expect the end of time in 2012, what exactly did they predict for that year?
The Maya did pass down a graphic—though undated—end-of-the-world scenario, described on the final page of a circa-1100 text known as the Dresden Codex. The document describes a world destroyed by flood, a scenario imagined in many cultures and probably experienced, on a less apocalyptic scale, by ancient peoples.
Aveni, the archaeoastronomer, said “the scenario is not literal—but as a lesson about human behavior.”
MYTH 7- Zombies
No Doomsday discussion can be had without the Zombie Bikers coming to destroy our planet.
“The rise of zombies in pop culture has given credence to the idea that a zombie apocalypse could happen,” writes Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan. “In such a scenario zombies would take over entire countries, roaming city streets eating anything living that got in their way.”
Pretty sure we’ve all seen that movie.
In short, maybe the end of the world will happen one day, but there is one thing that nobody has ever escaped, and that’s death. So grab all the canned goods and head to the bunker, but who would want to live through I am Legend?
Boozing it up Hip Hop Style
Boozing it up Hip Hop Style
Is hip hop music turning a generation into alcoholics?
Hip Hop music has long been criticized for glamorizing violence, objectifying women and promoting drugs. Basically, every hip hop music video is the same- in the club, big gold chains, sunglasses in the dark, piles of cash, and half naked women shaking their giant backsides. And don’t forget the alcohol! Aren’t these tracks just becoming giant commercials for booze?
According to a new study, “For every hour that American teens listen to music, they hear more than three references to brand-name alcohol-about 34 in the course of a day”. This heavy exposure could contribute to youth addiction, according to a University of Pittsburgh and Dartmouth University study published online in the international journal, Addiction.
Researchers point the finger clearly at rap, R&B and hip-hop artists, who they say promote a “luxury lifestyle characterized by degrading sexual activity, wealth, partying, violence and the use of drugs.”
Many singers have also increasingly promoted their own line of liquors in their songs and even launched their own unique brands
- Lil’ Jon (Little Jonathan Wineries, 2008)
- Ludacris (Conjure Vodka, 2009)
- Jay-Z (Armadale Vodka, 2002)
- Snoop Dogg (Landy Cognac, 2008)
- TI (Remy Martin Cognac, 2010)
- Sean “P. Diddy” Combs (Ciroc Vodka, 2001)
Then there is Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It (On the Alcohol)” which was a long-running No. 1 song on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart, as he sang about Patron tequila and Grey Goose vodka.
“Blame it on the goose. Got you feeling loose. Blame it on Patron. Got you in the zone”
“The ‘gangsta’ mystique is really about aggressive self-indulgence,” said Mark Crispin Miller, a professor of media, culture and communications at New York University.
“It’s highly consumeristic and not in any way socially conscious or beneficial to anyone’s health,” Miller said. “It builds on an old mystique that’s more infantile than that. It’s really about going to the crib and buying really ostentatious goods and drinking yourself into a stupor and using drugs and stashing huge guns.”
But we can’t just blame hip hop, after all, Amy Winehouse sang about beer and her attachment to the bottle, Sublime’s 40 OZ to Freedom, Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping, and The Eagle’s Tequila Sunrise to name a few. Then of course there is freedom of choice, are we as a society mindless zombies, that easily convinced by a few lyrics in a song, or a cleverly stashed bottle in a music video?…PROBABLY!
Another Year, Another $2.5 Million Diamond Bra
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Debuts the $2.5 Million Diamond Lingerie
Every year millions tune in to watch the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. This year’s show is set to air Tuesday, Nov. 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network with featured artists Cee Lo Green, Kanye West and Maroon 5 and the most expensive diamond coated lingerie.
Supermodel Candice Swanepoel will open the lingerie runway show, which will also star supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and a bevy of other Victoria’s Secret Angels, and will also include red carpet interviews, model profiles and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the world’s most celebrated fashion show.
All with the signature angel wings, and long-legged models, perhaps the most coveted item on the runway will be the $2.5 million “Fantasy Treasure Bra”. Imagine the security!
The million-dollar bra tradition started in 1996 with Claudia Schiffer, and for any current and aspiring VS angel, being chosen to wear the bra is considered a modeling honor. So who’s the lucky angel this year?
None other than Miranda Kerr (Orlando Bloom’s wife and mother of his son, Flynn) will be flaunting her diamond covered cleavage. The Aussie bombshell will be sporting the “Fantasy Treasure Bra,” which features 3,500 precious gems.
Miranda joins the runway ranks alongside Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, who have also worn the coveted lingerie piece. But none could top Gisele Bunchen‘s 2000 “Red Hot Fantasy” bra and panties getup—the entire ensemble cost approximately $15 million, setting the Guinness Book World Record for the most expensive underwear in the world.
Scenes from the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Beavis and Butthead’s Fateful Return
Beavis and Butthead have returned to MTV and Skrillex’s Equinox video was a part of the two juvenile idiots jabbing
Beavis and Butt-Head premiered on MTV in 1993, a time when Nirvana and teen angst reigned supreme, and MTV played music videos in heavy rotation instead of tirelessly pumping reruns of 16 and Pregnant and The Jersey Shore. Until it’s end in 1997, the show’s protagonist, idiot teenagers churned out the network’s highest-rated program, was the subject of congressional debate and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone three times.
The best part of the show was the pair sitting on their ratty couch discussing and misunderstanding the music videos they watched. (Butt-Head on videos with onscreen text: “If I wanted to read, I’d go to school.”)
Perhaps a nod to Dubstep’s attempt to leap into the mainstream, the pair “critiques” Skrillex’s video Equinox. That is if Beavis and Butthead are the really worthy of such power; though in the 90’s videos gained popularity after their presence on the show.
After a 14-year hiatus, Mike Judge, the show’s creator and main voice behind the two head bangers was asked by MTV to revive the show, he said yes, bringing the boys back with their worldviews unchanged. “There was a conscious decision to have nobody grow or learn much,” Judge said in an interview with Rolling Stone. Beavis and Butt-Head still wear their Metallica and AC/DC T-shirts, although Judge had to get permission from the bands this time around.
Time will tell if Beavis and Butthead’s second time around will prove as successful as in the grunge ridden 90s, but either way the two metalhead, chick loving idiots won’t go out without terrorizing a new generation of music and pop culture.
Beavis and Butthead is on MTV, Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET
Kim Kardashian Headed for Splitsville
Kim K Files for Divorce from Kris Humphries
After 72 days Kim is ditching the old ball and chain by filing for divorce this morning. At least she beat Britney Spears’ brief ‘hours’ of wedded bliss to Jason Allan Alexander in 2004.
Millions watched as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries exchanged vows at their highly publicized, $10 million wedding on E! Now millions will watch their divorce. TMZ was told that even though the marriage was short, she is not seeking an annulment. It’s a garden-variety divorce, in which Kim cites “irreconcilable differences.”
“I’ve spoken to her briefly and she says she’s sad and got caught up in all that was going on,” Ryan Seacrest who produces her show, said on his KIIS-FM radio program Monday morning.
A source close to Kardashian tells PEOPLE
that she “wanted a fairy tale” but that the couple found “the pressure of the TV show just isn’t what they could have handled.” Perhaps Khloe, Kim’s sister was right when during Kris’ proposal to Kim, she said “Is this for real?”
The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to foot his own lawyers’ fees and she’ll pay hers. And, she wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support.
So sad so sad, think Kimmy gave back that $2 million ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz — featuring a 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone flanked by two 2-carat trapezoids … for a grand total of 20.5 carats?
Halloween Costume Guide 2011
Most Popular Halloween Costumes of 2011
Halloween is a time for adults to troll the city like Sponge Bob Square Pants, Pimps, Hookers or perhaps a giant baby and not be taken to the insane asylum or jail.
This year, Halloween will be celebrated by more than 160 million Americans, according to the National Retail Federation, which also predicts that we’ll spend almost $7 billion on merchandise, and $1.2 billion of that for costumes.
Then there are those costumes that will be worn always be worn, the “sexy” nurse, the school girl, and so on, though it’s not as awful as showing up to the Oscar’s wearing the same dress, here is a list of the most popular costumes this year based on the top sales according to national costume retailers.
Angry Birds
The touch-screen game “has had 400 million free and paid downloads since 2009, with three-fourths of those in the last six months,” according to Bloomberg. That obsession will undoubtedly translate into millions of sightings of the popular round red and black and triangular yellow birds on Oct. 31 and perhaps serve as a warning to get a life and get off phone application gaming.
Sue Sylvester ‘Glee’
Despite her cold exterior and sharp tongue, it’s pretty easy to embrace Sue Sylvester — or her style, at the very least. “Glee’s” fast-talking, hard-edged gym teacher with a distinct distaste for hair product is one of the easiest and most popular costumes to put together for Halloween.
Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen, our favorite crack-head, porn loving celebrity will be seen all over this year. The Charlie Sheen wig is among the top 10-bestselling wigs on Amazon.com, and the full Charlie Sheen mask is scarier than a fake ax in the head.
Zombies
Perhaps in an ode to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or just an overall laziness to turn that hangover from the prior night into an actual “look”, but this year more than 2.6 million people plan to dress as zombies, according to the National Retail Federation’s 2011 top costumes survey.
Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj
Trumping the influx of last year’s Lady Gaga costume invasion, there are some new blue-haired songstresses taking over this Halloween. Slap on a brightly colored wig and maybe your hairiest obnoxious friend to double as Russell Brand and a pop star is born.
Royal Wedding Party
The obsession with all things British that started with the royal wedding earlier this year continues. Retailers such as Headlinecostumes.com are selling the octopus-like Princess Beatrice hat ($40) and the Kate Middleton wig ($25) for those who aspire to look like the Duchess of Cambridge or other members of the royal family. Or you could just stick a pole…well, you get it…
Transformers
Dorks abound this season as Autobot or Decepticon. Halloweencostumes.com offers a deluxe Optimus Prime costume with jumpsuit, light-up helmet and chest piece with semi-truck details ($324.99) and a Bumblebee get-up with a realistic yellow and black jumpsuit, machinery pieces and accessories ($324.99). For that price one could buy a real 1973 Ford Pinto and really fire-up their Halloween. Plus, pretty sure people would rather see a Megan Fox costume.
Captain America
In case you are longing for the days of yore with the Captain America Underoos, the popularity of the Captain America movie allows your boyhood a chance to return, hopefully just for one night.
So whether you want to go along with the most popular costumes of 2011 or use this as a warning and be your unique self, this Halloween will be full of surprises. Click HERE for a complete listing of D.C.’s best Halloween parties.
Wrapped Up Like A Douche
Misheard Lyrics
You may think you know the lyrics, but what are they really saying?
Next time you won’t be caught wondering why Elton John would want to be held closer by Tony Danza. Or would he?
Everyone has had a moment where they are singing along with a song and belt out what they think are the correct lyrics, only to be embarrassed when someone corrects their mistake.
There are websites (AmIRight.com, Kissthisguy.com) devoted to it, there are shows based on it (Don’t Forget the Lyrics), and annoying friends who like to point out your mistakes.
“Wrapped up like a douche” a common mistake when singing Manfred Mann’s “Blinded by the light” to which the original lyrics are “revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night”.

Fill My Cups!
Free Drinks for Ladies
According to your cup size?
Often in the nightclub world, girls with certain ‘assets’ get in for free, get free drinks, get to hang out in jail-like DJ booths, but there is so specific guarantee right? Wrong!
A Singapore nightclub, OverEasy, gives ladies free drinks according to their God given, or not so natural breast size. According to the China Press, “Fill My Cups” nights have been held at the OverEasy nightclub and are promoted with posters proclaiming “Booze for your boobs.”
The club named the gimmick after one its guest deejays aptly dubbed DJ DCUP and has been called both humorous and distasteful.
“I think the concept is funny but I would not degrade myself by being a part of it,” said a 19-year-old women to The New Paper, a local newspaper. Another woman said to the paper that she did not think it would be “embarrassing” to be judged on her bra cup size. “After all, I’m rather proud of my assets.”
According to reports the free drink nights work like this: there are two judges, a man and a woman, who visually determine each woman’s cup size. Talk about trumping the pushy Victoria’s Secret bra size fitters.
A Cup= 1 free drink
B Cup= 2 free drinks
C Cup= 3 free drinks
D Cup= a free bottle of vodka
Hangovers courtesy of your friends at OverEasy!
There is no report as to how or if the judges test for falsies or cleverly placed tissues, but the criteria for a free bottle give away must be pretty steep, maybe a poke or two. Let’s hope a “Pack It In My Pants” night isn’t soon to follow!
Celebrities Who Should and Shouldn’t Take Their Clothes Off…
The Rack
The Best and Worst of Celebrity Fashion Lines
Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, with their celebrity names to push them onto the public’s radar it seems like they should all be successful. But just like actor’s trying to become rock stars, some should have stuck with their day jobs. Anyone catch the latest Bacon Brother’s (Kevin Bacon’s band) concert? Didn’t think so. However, for the hundreds of failing lines, there are some that have become major players in the fashion world. Here are some of the best and the worst.
Best
L.A.M.B. -Gwen Stefani
L.A.M.B (love, angel, music, baby) fashion line by Gwen Stefani, the lead vocalist of the rock band No Doubt. Stefani created the fashion line back in 2003, originally as collaboration with LeSportsac. When it initially debuted at Nordstrom, the line sold out in three days and Nordstrom calls it the most successful launching of a line in the store’s history. The higher prices of Stefani’s designer label have never seemed to deter her fans.
Where to buy: Nordstrom
Price: Fairly expensive ($70-$300)
House of Harlow & Winter Kate– Nicole Richie
With a glamorous father like Lionel Richie, it’s no wonder that adopted daughter Nicole cultivated her artistic side with a career in fashion. Despite a rocky entry into the celebrity spotlight following her appearance alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life — in addition to public struggles with drug abuse and DUI arrests — the starlet has been able to repair her reputation and build a successful fashion empire.
In 2008, Richie launched her boho-chic jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, which has grown to include sunglasses and shoes. In 2008, Richie added a ready-to-wear collection called Winter Kate, which includes footwear, jewelry, eyewear and handbags.
Where to buy: Neiman Marcus
Price: Expensive ($70-$400)
Madonna- Material Girl
When you think of Material Girl you usually think of Madonna’s smash hit song from 1985. But Madge also has her clothing line, by the same name that she launched with her daughter Lourdes. The clothes mainly appeal to juniors. But, with Kelly Osbourne, daughter of The Prince of Darkness and now celebrity host on E! Entertainment’s “Fashion Police” as the face of the line’s new campaign, the line is gaining more popularity.
Where to buy: Macy’s
Price: Cheap ($15-$100)
Jessica Simpson
She certainly didn’t make it as a singer in recent years, and the thought that she ever dated John Mayer is a maor fail in and of itself, but Jessica Simpson reigns supreme in the fashion world. Her empire is projected to make history this year, by becoming the first ever celebrity fashion line to earn one billion dollars in annual sales.
The singer-turned fashion designer’s clothing line raked in an astonishing $750 million dollars in sales last year, making it the top selling celebrity clothing empire. The Texas native launched her Jessica Simpson Collection in 2007 with a line of handbags, shoes and boots. She has since expanded it to include watches, clothing, cosmetics, luggage, bathing suits, and fragrances, which are all sold in major department stores across America.

Price: Moderate ($50-$150)
Kardashian Kollection
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are already successful reality television stars and spokesmodels and now the sisters are expanding their foray into fashion with a line of affordable clothing for Sears. Launching this month, the Kardashian “Kollection” has something for women of every shape and size. The sisters say there is something in the “Kollection” for every woman’s style whether it is glamorous, classic, bohemian or rocker chic. The line includes over 40 apparel pieces, 60 jewelry items, 30 handbags and 12 shoe styles, all under 150 bucks!
Where to buy: Sears
Price: Moderate (all under $150)
Worst
Lindsay Lohan-6126
It’s no surprise that Lindsay’s fashion line is a big fail. The starlet is more famous for her struggles with drugs, alcohol, and lesbians than her acting career. Her line is basically leggings and…yeah that’s about it. She quotes Marilyn Monroe on her website and says that she inspired the line. The only thing the two have in common is an inevitable death at an early age.
Where to buy: http://6126bylindsaylohan.com/shop/
Price: Moderate ($50-$150)
Heidi Montag- Heidiwood for Anchor Blue
Heidiwood is basically a casual clothing line by Anchor Blue with Montag’s name slapped on the label. It would not be a surprise if Montag was contacted by the company to go up as a direct rival against Lauren Conrad’s clothing line. What a great marketing strategy- to capitalize on the feud between Lauren and Heidi. To no surprise, her douche bag, invisi-beard husband Spencer was up her butt following her around at the premiere of the line at Kitson’s in Hollywood.
Where to buy: Kitson (http://shopkitson.com/)
Price: Very Cheap ($10-$60)
Sarah Jessica Parker- BITTEN
Sarah Jessica Parker’s budget line Bitten, which was sold exclusively at the now bankrupt Steve & Barry’s, is likely to become a distant memory for the popular Sex in the City actress. Poor Carrie Bradshaw would be crying in her Minolo’s over this fail. However, there be better fashion days on the horizon now that she has signed on as a fashion designer for Halston. According to Women’s Wear Daily, Sarah Jessica Parker will become president and chief creative officer of Halston Heritage, a line inspired by vintage Halston looks.
Where to buy: No longer available, but you can find items for sale on Ebay or Amazon
Price: Very Cheap ($10-$60)
Avril Lavigne- Abbey Dawn
Avril broke onto the scene as a young, skater girl teen in 2002 with a punk rock attitude and a fashion sense to go along with it. Now in 2011, as a 26-year-old woman, her fashion sense remained somewhere in 2002 at the skate park. If you like skulls, glitter, and graffiti, then Abby Dawn is where you’ll want to shop. Now Avril and her boyfriend Brody Jenner can skate off into the sunset together with matching hoodies.
Where to buy: http://abbeydawn.com/
Price: Cheap ($20-$60)
Beyonce- House of Dereon
House of Dereon pays homage to “Deréon”, Beyonce’s maternal grandmother and that is the only nice thing to say about the collection. Many people think Beyonce can do no wrong. Well, she did. House of Dereon is just ugly. Every piece has too much going on; too many buttons, ties, and logos. Beyonce says it’s “where catwalk meets sidewalk.” Maybe the “sidewalk” at the bad side of town, because frankly, its just ghetto. But Beyonce just won’t go away, and now with her new baby on the way, it looks like we are in for a long lifetime of annoying booty popping Beyonce spawns.

Price: Moderate ($50-$200)
It’s too bad “Malibu Dave” by David Hasslehoff never took off!
