07.01-UK FAMILY GET SOULJA BOY CALLS
A family living in Oldham in England are being bombarded with around 60 calls a day as people hope to speak with rapper Soulja Boy. In the lyrics to the song, 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone' the rapper recites the number to his voicemail (678-999-8212), while encouraging listeners to call him up. In the United States, the number is powered by a SayNow, a technology company that enables stars to use a dedicated number to interact with calls. In the UK however, the number rings to the home of Gerry Matley and Catriona Howard Smith...

06.30-AND NOW CHILI GETS A 'REALITY SHOW'

We use the term 'reality losely, as it is hardly reality, but more entertaining than anything...and gives us a chance to see all of the 'stars' of the past, and what they are doing...and at least they aren't on drugs...

Chilli from R&B supergroup TLC, has decided to take the reins of her lackluster romantic situation and launch an all out search for the love of her life in the yet-to-be-titled Chilli Project.  Despite huge success as a recording artist and a mother, Chilli has grown tired of striking out on the romantic front, so she has enlisted the help of Brooklyn relationship expert Tionna Smalls.  Not one to let people take the easy way out, Tionna has promised to give Chilli the challenging emotional workout she needs in order to get over the hurdles that have kept her from having the long-term serious relationship she craves.  The series has been picked up for eight half-hour episodes and is set to premiere in 2010. (The Chilli Project is executive produced by Fremantle Media North America.  Larry Barron, Kevin Williams, Bill Diggins and Chilli are executive producers.  Executive producers for VH1 are Jim Ackerman, Dave Hamilton and Jeff Olde.)

Hey, Usher is free again...maybe she won't need a reality show...

06.30-ALL MICHAEL JACKSON RELATED NEWS
As expected, shocking details about Michael Jackson are beginning to emerge following his untimely death. Reports are saying that he was in a much worse physical state than many anticipated at the time of his death with his emaciated body riddled with needle marks and scars, and his head virtually bald. Reports say that Jackson weighed just 112 pounds when he died and his stomach was found to be completely empty except for partially dissolved pills. His hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds, believed to have come from shots of painkillers, and he was wearing a wig when he was found because his hair had been reduced to a "peach fuzz" on his scalp, the report said. "He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died," a source close to the singer's entourage revealed, adding, "Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for some years." There were four fresh injections around his heart, presumably from attempts to pump adrenaline in and start it beating once more. Reprots revealed that three of them had penetrated and damaged his heart wall, while a fourth struck his ribs. Not unusually, he also sustained several broken ribs while authorities administered CPR during his final moments. Jackson had one spot above his left ear that was scarred and completely bald - the apparent result of burns sustained when his hair caught fire while he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984 - as well as numerous other scars, apparently from plastic surgery. In addition, he had bruises on his knees and shins and cuts on his back, most likely caused by a recent fall. Jackson has had two autopsies performed on him: one by the Los Angeles coroner and a private one requested by the family with the leaked details coming from the official autopsy. Meanwhile a Jackson family confidant revealed that the singer's private doctor performed the CPR on a dying Jackson in the wrong manner - saying that Michael was placed on a bed despite the belief that compressions for cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be performed on a hard surface. The source said, "Michael was on the floor first, and they put him on the bed, and then started compressions on the bed," adding, "What kind of doctor is that?" In a transcript of the 911 call, the person seeking help says Jackson is "on the bed" and the dispatcher then replied, "OK, let's get him down to the floor. Edward Chernoff, a lawyer for Jackson's doctor, said Jackson was found in his bed with a faint pulse. However, as expected with the ever-controversial Michael Jackson other sources are saying that the autopsy results as leaked are fake, with a statement from The Los Angeles County coroner saying, "The report that is being published did not come from this office. I don't know where the information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false." Some of it?

 
In other Michael Jackson news Jordan Chandler, the boy who accused the late singer of molesting him back in 1993, has allegedly said it was all a lie. In a shocking revelation Chandler revealed, "Now for the first time I can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies (sic) to escape from being poor." In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers to which he eventually became addicted. Chandler apparently continued, "I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now I can’t tell Michael how much I’m sorry and if he will forgive me ." There are, however, doubts as to the reliability of the sources for this controversial story.

Also speaking out was the former nanny of Michael Jackson's kids, Grace Rwaramba, 42. Grace revealed that she was aware of Michael Jackson's prescription drug use saying that, "I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it," adding, "There was one period that it was so bad that I didn't let the children see him. He always ate too little and mixed too much." She also spoke on Jackson's finances, revealing, "Michael had no idea about money," Rwaramba said, before referring to a $1 million offer he received to appear in Japan, "By the time everyone took their share he ended up with $200,000." According to Rwaramba, the day after Michael died, his mother Katherine called her from Michael's Holmby Hills house and asked where he kept his cash, "She said, 'Grace, the children are crying. They are asking about you. They can't believe that their father died. Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house. I am here. Where can it be?" Rwaramba told her to look "at the garbage bags and under the carpets." Then, said the former nanny, "She said, 'Grace, where are you? Come. I will pick you up from the airport.' She sounded so strong. So strong!" Rwaramba was fired from Jackson's employ in December last year, although she had been fired and rehired in the past after questioning Jackson's drug use.

In other news. Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, has been granted temporary custody of Michael's three children and looks set to benefit from Jackson's will. While some sources had said that Michael did not have a will written up, attorney John Branca has a 2002 will and plans to file it with the court within 30 days of the singer's death. According to the will, Jackson reportedly left his estate - estimated at $1 billion - to his mother, 3 children and one or more charities. Father Joe Jackson, meanwhile has seemingly been left out with sources saying it was because he beat Michael as a child.

06.30-JAY-Z SHUTS DOWN CHRIS BROWN AT BET?

Reports are suggesting that Jay-Z shut down Chris Brown's BET performance by threatening to boycott the show himself if Chris was allowed to perform. Jay-Z is also alleged to have said that his wife, Beyonce, would not perform if Chris was allowed to. While Al Sharpton was said to have a hand in the cancellation as well it certainly looks like Jay-Z is still bitter about the Rihanna affair... This has not pleased Chris however with a friend saying, "He’s furious, BET asked him to perform and waited until the last minute to tell him it was off. He’s pretty shocked and outraged right now."

Yeah, we think this was foul, if it's true...NO ONE would have given a tribute to Mike like Chris Brown...he has ALL of his moves in tact, and he did an amazing job on the James Brown Tribute...that's OK, 'cause one of the more mainstream awards show are going to swoop him up...Jay being a business man, knows that this is a business, man...

06.29-OBAMA SENDS TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON
President Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs made a few remarks on behalf of the President about the passing of Michael Jackson, "I talked to [Obama] about it this morning. Look, he said to me that obviously Michael Jackson was a spectacular performer and a music icon. I think everybody remembers hearing his songs, watching him moonwalk on television during Motown's 25th anniversary. But the president also said, look, he had aspects of his life that were sad and tragic. And his condolences went out to the Jackson family and to the fans that mourned his loss. When asked why the White House didn't release a formal statement, Gibbs replied, "Because I just said it."
