Michael Jackson's Children to Be Witnesses at Trial

Michael Jackson's young children and family members including mother Katherine and sister Janet Jackson are set to be called as witnesses at Dr. Conrad Murray's upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial, according to a U.S. report. The physician stands accused of administering the powerful dose of anesthetic Propofol which led to the King of Pop's death in June 2009. 

Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is due to stand trial in May, and a document, obtained by TMZ, has revealed new details about proceedings. In the papers, more than 100 potential witnesses are listed, including the "Thriller" icon's three children 14-year-old Prince Michael, 13-year-old Paris, and 9-year-old Blanket. 

Other family members set to take the stand include Jackson's dad Joe, and siblings Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, Rebbie Jackson and Tito Jackson. 

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor is still searching for impartial jurors to hear the case, and the legal paper also reveals potential jurors face extensive quizzing of their opinions about Jackson, celebrities and medication before being appointed. 

Report: Chris Jericho Plays a Part in Pia Toscano's Hook-Up With Mark Ballas

There might be a romance blossoming for Pia Toscano. The "American Idol" contestant, who shockingly got the boot last Thursday, April 7, has gone on a date with "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer Mark Ballas, and according to TMZ, it was all thanks to wrestler Chris Jericho. 

Words are, 22-year-old Pia has a friend who is friends with Chris, who is competing on this season of "DWTS". After the aspiring singer gave her friend her phone number in a piece of paper, the friend passed it along to the 40-year-old wrestler who passed it onto 24-year-old Mark. It was further noted that Mark rescheduled a music video shoot for the date. 

Before Pia was eliminated from "Idol", she and Mark were rehearsing and shooting their shows next to each other at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. They were spotted going out together to Gulfstream restaurant last Friday night, April 8. 

When talking about her elimination during a conference call with reporters earlier that morning, Pia confessed, "It's funny because the night before I had a weird feeling in my stomach. And I said to my parents, 'You know, I kind of feel like I'm going to be in the bottom three tomorrow.' And they said, 'No, no, be confident. You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine.' And then when it happened, it was kind of like I expected it. It was weird." 

Jennifer Lopez to Be People Magazine's 2011 Most Beautiful Person

Jennifer Lopez could be People Magazine's pick for its Most Beautiful Person this year. Gossip Cop has come up with the report that multiple sources confirmed the 41-year-old songstress, who serves as a judge on "American Idol", will grace the cover of the publication's "Most Beautiful" issue. 

On Friday morning, April 8, the "On the Floor" hitmaker gave a slight hint on the possibility in her tweet. She wrote, "Good Morning #LOVE?RS!!!!! Early Call Today for @peoplemag shoot! The weekend is here!! What are you guys doing?" While her rep has yet to comment on the rumor, Gossip Cop claimed that People Magazine will announce the cover star for the issue on April 13. 

In a recent interview, Jennifer discussed about battling insecure thoughts. "I know it's hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don't forget that," she told Bang Showbiz. "It's about stopping those thoughts of negativity and insecurity." 

The wife of singer Marc Anthony continued, "I think changing that and really recognizing yourself triggers control of how you feel, so you're able to go, 'No, I'm awesome, man, I'm amazing, there's nobody like me'. I think that's the big secret to body confidence." 

Kylie Minogue Wants to Direct Film

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue is eyeing a move behind the camera, insisting she'd love to direct a film. The "Spinning Around" hitmaker shot to fame Down Under on long-running soap opera "Neighbours" and she admits she'd love to get back on a movie set - as the director. 

And the singer is adamant she would be a great filmmaker - because she's so "bossy". She says, "Professionally, I'd love to be behind the camera more. I think there's a director in me somewhere as I get older and bossier. I don't know how I ended up with a music career that has lasted that long when I thought I'd just be an actress." 

"I love the community spirit of doing a film with other people around, rather than having your own trailer when you're a pop star." 

Lindsay Lohan Denies Hiding From Father in the Closet

Contrary to swirling reports,Lindsay Lohan didn't hide in her closet when her father Michael paid her a surprise visit on Sunday, April 10. The troubled actress, who made her big break at the age of 11 with the remake of "The Parent Trap", has come forward to set the record straight. 

To E! News, the 24-year-old actress insisted that she wasn't even at her beach home apartment in Venice, California when Michael was reported desperately trying to get her to open the door. "I'm fine," she assured as explaining further, "I wasn't even home so its funny how I was in my closet." 

TMZ first reported that Lindsay was hiding in her apartment on Sunday out of fear. It was said that Michael was pounding on her front door trying to break in. When there was no response, he peered into several windows as he tried to spot her inside. Though he left before the police was called, Radar Online claimed that he returned later that day. 

Just days earlier, Linsday was forced to speak up to defend herself after Betty White branded her and such stars like Charlie Sheen "ungrateful". "I've always been a fan of hers. It's just a bit strange when people feel they must speak publicly about others. Especially a grown woman," so she told E! News in response.

Jennifer Aniston: 'I'm Not a Big Fan of Dating'

It's no secret that Jennifer Aniston has been through her fair share of bad experiences in the relationship department (she's "not a big fan" of dating), so the actress is grateful for the group of really awesome friends who've helped her through them all.

"Where would you be without friends?" she said (via Usmagazine). "The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends -- your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing."

So, with a list of pals that includes Chelsea Handler and Courteney Cox, who's her best friend? She can't pick! "So many, I couldn't do that," she says. "I'll say me!"

The actress adds that it's always important to be in tune with yourself. "You also have to have your own personal love," the Switch star said. "What inspires you, what excites you when you wake up in the morning?"

Jennifer Lopez Reveals the Key to Body Confidence

Jennifer Lopez is smokin' hot at 41. The mom of 2 still flaunts her midriff, wears dresses as tight as Kim Kardashian's and even higher heels, and is an overall bombshell -- but, she doesn't always feel that way. The singer says it's easy for her, and women in general, to forget their self-worth so she has a few tricks of her own to keep feeling good about herself.
She said: “I know it’s hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don’t forget that. It’s about stopping those thoughts of negativity and insecurity. I think changing that and really recognizing yourself triggers control of how you feel, so you’re able to go, ‘No, I’m awesome man, I’m amazing, there’s nobody like me.’ I think that’s the big secret to body confidence.”

Despite her positive outlook, Jennifer admits she can’t help but worry about negative opinions and responses to her work. She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “It’s easy to let negative stuff get to you. I’m no different to anybody else. If I’m performing for 200,000 people and there’s one person near the front row who’s not enjoying themselves, it’ll be that one person who’s going to bother me. That’s why it’s important to remember you’re special, so those messages register more than the few negative ones.”

Mila Kunis Not Keen to be Sheen's Next "Goddess"

Shockingly, Mila Kunis is not jumping at the opportunity to beCharlie Sheen's newest "goddess." In fact, the beautiful Black Swan star is apparently disgusted by the idea entirely. 

Stopping in Columbus, Ohio for his "Violent Torpedo Of Truth" live tour, Sheen told a raucous crowd that he was eying Kunis as his next "goddess" in waiting. Elaborating on his plan, Charlie said (via RadarOnline): "I'm going to go on her Facebook page and discover her likes... I'm going to buy them all and then she can come steal them." 

The crowd loved everything coming out of Charlie's mouth and gave him his second standing ovation of the tour.  Kunis, however, has no plans to be Sheen's "goddess," or to be associated in any way with Mr. "Wild Thing." As a friend close to Kunis's put it, (via PopEater) the mere thought of joining Sheen's harem "grosses Mila out." 

If Kunis is out, who will Sheen target next?

Nicole Scherzinger Isn't 'In Touch' with Former Pussycat Doll Bandmates

Nicole Scherzinger had a lot of fun with the Pussycat Dolls -- while the band lasted. Now that the PCD are no more, she's having a blast with her solo career. 

The 32-year-old singer, who starred in the band with Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton, Kimberley Wyatt and Jessica Sutta before leaving in 2010, feels “empowered” to have left the group and insists she feels “happy” for all her former bandmates.

She said: “A few of the girls left the group and I was like, ‘Am I the only Doll standing here?!’
“We’re not in touch. We’re all busy, and I’m happy for everyone. Once all the girls went off, I thought it was the perfect opportunity for me to go and to my music and what I love. It’s been liberating and amazing. It’s empowering to come into your own in that way.”

Nicole also confirmed the majority of her shelved debut solo album, which was initially intended for release in 2007, ended up on a Pussycat Dolls LP. She told Attitude magazine: “There just wasn’t the right timing before, but I was fortunate enough to be able to put a lot of those tracks on the next PCD album.”

The Kardashians Are Krazy for 'Khloe & Lamar'

The latest Kardashian spinoff, Khloe & Lamar, airs tonight on E! and, of course, the internets are buzzing with the news. Klearly, Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, Kris and the gang can't stop tweeting about the debut, and SNL even spoofed the show last night!

Here's a sampling of the buzz:

Kris tweeted: "Who is as excited as I am for Khloe and Lamar show on E! At 10/7PST tomorrow night??!!!! SEASON PREMIER!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!! BEYOND FAB"

Kim tweeted: "I can't wait for Khloe & Lamar too! I haven't see any clips yet! I honestly can't wait!"

Even pal Nicole Richie chimed in: " I feel like breaking out an electric guitar, cuz tonights the season premiere of Khloe & Lamar!!" she wrote.

Khloe has been tweeting right and left about the premiere, telling fans she's "excited and nervous" about tonight.

The Saturday Night Live mention poked some fun at the show, but was undoubtedly good publicity anyway. The spoof involved the Kardashian sisters (played by SNL castmembers) filing their taxes. 

"We gave Khloe her own show," the pretend Kim says.

"Well, we can write that off as charity," Andy Samberg (acting as tax guy Mort Feingold) says with a laugh.

Tune in tonight for all the action -- and to see some drama when brother Rob moves in with Khloe and Lamar.

Courteney Cox on Family Life: 'All I Really Want is to Be Happy'

Courteney Cox and husband David Arquette split in October after 11 years, but they haven't officially ended their marriage -- and they could very well get back together. The actress says she and her estranged hubby are putting their 6-year-old daughter first and are trying to work out their differences.
She told You magazine: "I don't know what's going to happen between David and me, but we'll always have a special bond and I love him very much. No one ever wants to get divorced and when you get married, you think it's going to be for life, so we'll see. Taking care of Coco is the most important thing to us right now."

Courteney -- who stars alongside David in Scream 4 - says the couple are working on their problems to see if the marriage is worth saving. She said: "The important thing for us is to be open with one another. We're pretty good about that, but we probably could have been a little better. I feel like this is a very important time right now and one where I need to find out who and what I am, and it's the same for David. It takes a lot of courage to switch things up and not drift in a relationship, so we'll just have to see where it goes. All I really want is to be happy."

Katherine Heigl is Making a Return to TV

Katherine Heigl's days as Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy are long gone, but it looks like the former TV starlet is making a return to the small screen. Apparently she'll produce and star in an upcoming HBO movie!

She and her mother Nancy are reportedly co-producing the TV movie, based on the novel The Knitting Circle, reports Pop Eater. Heigl will play a mother who turns to a group of knitters for support after the death of her child.

This will be Heigl's first time back on TV since her departure from Grey's in 2010. She left the show to work on her film career and her departure from the hit program wasn't without a fair share of drama: She panned the show's writers during the 2008-2009 season, took herself out of the Emmy race, and the final straw was apparently when she didn't show up for work one day.

Also in the works for the actress: New Year's Eve, which hits theaters in December, and One for the Money, which will be released in 2012.

Lady GaGa to Play Mary Magdalene in 'Judas' Music Video

 Details about what to expect from the upcoming music video of Lady GaGa's second single have been revealed. In an interview with MTV, her creative director Laurieann Gibson spilled the beans that the Monster ringleader will portray Mary Magdalene in the video.

Playing opposite GaGa will be "Hawaii Five-0" actor Norman Reedus. The 42-year-old star is going to be the "Judas", and Laurieann has nothing but good words for him. "He was so prolific," she said before promising Little Monsters that the video will be "badass."

"I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they're premeditating the approach and I think they'll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons," she said. "And it's really going to shock the world."

Lifted from GaGa's May 23 studio release "Born This Way", "Judas" will be released on April 19. Its accompanying music video is expected to follow soon. GaGa filmed it over the weekend, and shared it with her Twitter followers, "Directing Judas video with my sister @boomkack is the most exciting artistic moment of my career. It's the greatest work we've done. Day 2."

Lady GaGa's Mary Magdalene Role Is Irrelevant, Catholic League Says

 Catholic league has reacted to recent news that Lady GaGa would play Mary Magdalene in her upcoming "Judas" music video. Talking to Hollywood Life, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said, "This is a stunt."

He added, "I find GaGa to be increasingly irrelevant. She thinks she is going to be groundbreaking. She is trying to ripoff Christian idolatry to shore up her talentless, mundane and boring performances. Another ex-Catholic whose head is turned around."

"She is falling short. She wants to shock, does she actually believe her own BS?" Bill went on. "People have real talent, and then there is Lady GaGa. Is this the only way to jet up her performance? This isn't random, we are getting closer to Holy Week and Easter."

GaGa herself hasn't commented on that matter, but earlier this week in her "Gagavision No. 41" video message, she is seen confronting a fundamentalist male protester outside her concert. On her way to the concert venue, she stopped her car in front of the male, rolled down her window, and said, "Hi, I'm Lady GaGa."

When the man answered her coldly with "So?", she quickly countered him back, "I was thinking to myself, you obviously do care a little because you chose my concert." He then handed her a "Get out of hell free" card and added, "That's going to happen one day darling." Shrugging it off, she responded, "Well they better open up the gate."

Later, GaGa admitted that she felt disturbed by the encounter, saying "What I'm trying to understand is, there's 3000 people standing in my line, and nobody standing in your line. Who's goin' to hell?" She moreover said, "It just makes me sad that my fans have to see that. But I know it's just part of what I'm supposed to do."

Lifted from GaGa's May 23 studio release "Born This Way", "Judas" will be released on April 19. Its accompanying music video is expected to follow soon. Playing opposite GaGa in the video will be "Hawaii Five-0" actor Norman Reedus who is hired to tackle the role as Judas.

Salman Khan agrees to kiss Asin

  After innumerable denials, it is surprising to note that finally the great actor Salman Khan has come to terms to gracefully kiss the beautiful Indian actress Asin in the upcoming movie `Ready’, directed by talented Anees Bazmee. Though initially Salman Khan was not ready at any price to kiss this ravishing actress of Bollywood, Asin, but when the eminent director of this highly awaited film, Anees Bazmee grandly explicated the requirement of script to Salman Khan, he eventually agreed.

Even the hot actress, Asin tried to persuade Salman Khan that the scene of kissing is rightfully demand by the film script and thus he should perform the required act. However, this kiss is not an amazing lip-lock but a peck on the soft cheeks of Asin. If Salman is not ready for a lip lock then it is inevitable that the director has to be satisfied with Salman kissing Asin on her cheek. No doubt, the favourite action hero of Bollywood, Salman Khan has played in many films over the last years and has acted with innumerable beautiful actresses but he has never offered a lip-lock kiss to any of his glamorous actresses in an incredible tenure of his variable and outstanding performances.

Mallika Sherawat turns a sizzling avatar for the FHM

 The daring actress of Indian cinema, Mallika Sherawat has graciously featured on the cover of prestigious Indian edition magazine of FHM, effectively for April 2011. Mallika Sherawat who is truly known in Bollywood for her avatar that is quite bold is rightfully finding it hard to perfectly balance her marvellous career. She very much tried to woo the magnificent directors of Hollywood but it all went in vein. In true sense, she unfortunately even lost her presence in Bollywood because of this reason.

Mallika Sherawat tried very hard to win back, her crowned postion in the tinsel town so far, only time will be able to tell whether she will succeed in her endeavour or not. Anyway, it is impossible to guess what was going on in the mind of the actress when she agreed to do the photo shoot for the FHM magazine.
She has acted in many roles, in the Indian cinema throughout her career. Most of the characters she played were audacious. Let us wait for the reaction of the viewers in India, about the bold photos of her in the magazine. She has once again proven that she is the most dare to bare actress of the Indian movie industry.

Lindsay Lohan Responds to Betty White's 'Ungrateful' Comment

 Lindsay Lohan is more surprise than angry upon learning she has been slammed by Betty White. Speaking out her thought over the veteran actress' recent rant, the 24-year-old told E! News, "Wow. I've always been a fan of hers. It's just a bit strange when people feel they must speak publicly about others. Especially a grown woman."

On Thursday, April 7, Daily Mail published an article about Betty. In it, the "Hot in Cleveland" star expressed her opinion about today's celebrities. "I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business, and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, for example, although there are plenty of others, too."

Betty continued to voice her opinion, "They are the most blessed people in the world and they don't appreciate it." The Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls" additionally was quoted as commenting, "They party too much, don't learn their lines, are unprofessional and they grumble about everything. I think they are terribly ungrateful."

Speaking of the celebrities back in her days, the Emmy Awards winner recalled, "We considered ourselves lucky to be on the box, never complained if a critic didn't like us, dressed modestly and were always on our best behavior in public."

Pia Toscano Kind of Expecting to Be Eliminated From 'American Idol'

 Fallen favorite Pia Toscano has spoken out about her shocking elimination from "American Idol". During a conference call with reporters on Friday, April 8, the 22-year-old aspiring singer revealed that she has had a feeling that she might at least land on the bottom three after her Wednesday night performance.

"It's funny because the night before I had a weird feeling in my stomach," she recalled. "And I said to my parents, 'You know, I kind of feel like I'm going to be in the bottom three tomorrow. And they said, 'No, no, be confident. You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine.' And then when it happened, it was kind of like I expected it. It was weird."

Although she was not completely surprised, the five-time "Idol" auditioner admitted she was still a little overwhelmed by the cut. In fact, she needed an escort by the medic to get off the "Idol" stage on Thursday night. Asked about the medical assistance, she explained, "I wasn't feeling too good then. It was a tough moment for me."

"While I was singing it was very, very hard for me to get through that song," she continued to share. "I was trying to take deep breathes and it wasn't working out too well. I was getting a little light-headed. Being in the position I was it was a little much for me."

On the outpouring supports she got from the celebrities, the New York makeup artist said, "It's amazing. Like last night, it wasn't that I was shocked that was leaving the contestants. I was upset that next week I wouldn't be able to perform again."

"I was just trying to stay positive and know that everything happens for a reason. But to have the support of a lot of celebrities right now and my fans is amazing and it's the best feeling in the world."

Speaking off Stefano Langone, Pia stated that her fellow contestant, who shared the bottom two with her on Thursday, deserves his spot in the top eight. "Stephano's a very good friend of mine. He's a good person."

"I mean the whole time was sitting down with him in the Bottom 3 he was like telling me, 'You aren't going anywhere. I'm the one that's goin.' And I'm telling him, 'No, you're not goin.' He deserved to be the top eight right now and he's an incredible talent."

Excited about what the future holds for her, Pia said she is "really looking forward" to the upcoming "Idol" tour. Reasoning "it's a much more laid-back situation," she further explained, "You just go out there and perform. I'm gonna do my up-tempos and I'm gonna do my ballads It'll be a nice mix."
