Joe Jackson granted access to Michael Jackson's medical records

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that Joe Jackson can receive his son, Michael Jackson’s, medical records from the UCLA Medical Center. Joe Jackson's attorney, Brian Oxman, sought the records as part of an effort to obtain a $15,000 montly stipend for Joe from Michael's estate; Michael provided for his three children and his mother, but excluded his his father from his will. The judge will review the records first before releasing them to Oxman. Beckloff also ruled Jackson can only review records generated on or after the date of Michael's death so as to not violate doctor-patient confidentiality. Anyone granted review of the medical records will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement. Jackson and Oxman stated they are also considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Michael's death.

Serena 'It's a recession dammit!'

Tennis great Serena Williams has been blogging about her career aspirations.  The legendary tennis player wrote on her Global Grind page that she has begun training to become a certified nail technician:

...I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech. Besides the fact that I am coming out with a nail collection from a company called HairTech, I thought “Serena this is a no brainer.” Immediately after I came home from the Australian Open I researched some schools and enrolled in a course that allowed me to complete 240 hours (that’s what u have to do to get certified at least in fla) at my own pace. 240 hours may seem like a lot, but I intend on completing it within the year. It normally takes 6 weeks!!!

I ain't mad at  her.  She can't play top level tennis forever and it's a recession dammit!

Beyonce's little brother

TMZ is reporting they have the first ever pics of what is allegedly Beyonce's little brother; How do they get this $hit?  Alexsandra Wright claimed back in October that she was pregnant with Matthew Knowles' child and that they had been having an affair for the past 18 months.  Knowles denied the affair, but he and his wife of nearly 30 years, Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles quietly got divorced months later.  Wright gave birth to a boy on February 4, 2010; her lawyers will go to court today to seek child support for the baby.  Lawyers for Knowles deny the paternity of the child and deny any rumors relating to Wright and the baby.

Khloe gets the cash

Reportedly, OK! Magazine doled out over $300,000 for the exclusive print rights to Lamar and Khloe's wedding on Sunday. Unfortunately for Lamar, he won't get a cut of the deal. All the money is slated to go directly into Khloe's oversized pockets with a manager's cut reserved for her mom Kris Jenner.

Granted, OK! probably wouldn't give a damn about Lamar if he weren't marrying Khloe, and $300K is peanuts compared to his $30 million contract. Oh, and just in case you weren't hating hard enough, snitches say he gave her a 12 carat diamond ring and cried like a baby at the altar. Still, please speculate on how long it will take him to wake up and realize this marriage isn't a joint venture.

Side note: is it just me or do they look alike in that picture? Maybe they were separated at birth or something.

Drake has eggwhites egg on his face

Drake has eggwhites egg on his face after indignantly blogging that Kia Shine was lying about writing some of "Best I Ever Had." Kia Shine was photographed holding up three BMI awards for Drake's smash hit "Best I Ever Had" sparking rumors he was a ghostwriter for the song. Kia Shine released a statement claiming a publishing percentage for Drake's album because it sampled a song he had written:

Drake sampled the melody, some of the words, cadence, etc. So because I had
already registered the original record, my business was in order. I sent in the
Drake record and let my legal team handle it from there. We were able to settle
at 25% of the “Best I Ever Had” publishing. It’s a blessing, but the moral of
the story is to “follow up to get your dollars up” and always be prepared and on
top of your business.

Drake denied Kia's claims in his own blog, in essence saying he was lying:

There have been questions posed to me the last few days about the writing of
Best I Ever Had and I figured I’d take the time to clear the air directly. I
have never met Kia Shine or worked with him. I wrote the entire composition in
Toronto and I borrowed one line from a Lil Wayne song that he produced the BEAT for. The claims of 25% ownership are false and for a artist to brag about splits on a song is distasteful to begin with.

Well, Drake is looking kind of foolish right about now because Kia does indeed own a percentage of the publishing rights to Drake's song. He needs to check into getting new advisors and/or management since they neglected to tell him this and let him put himself out there like that.

Did you watch the VH1 Divas concert

I was reluctant to watch this show because, while I consider some of the performers to be very good, I do not think any of them have paid the dues to be considered a true diva. I certainly balk at the idea of bestowing the title "diva" (with the positive connotation) on a teenager. Aretha Franklin is a diva. Whitney Houston is a diva. Celine Dion is a diva. Miley Cyrus and Jordin Sparks are NOT divas. Still, the show had some very good performances.

Paula Abdul hosted (thank you Vh1 for giving her a job) and almost fell off the stage during her performance. (Way to dispel those drinking rumors, Paula.) She also lampooned her American Idol replacement, Ellen DeGeneres, by donning menswear and a blonde wig and dancing around. It was good times, I tell ya.

Monica Gets a Gig With Bill Gates

Monica performed in celebration of the launch of the “Get Schooled” program, a nation-wide initiative, co-developed by Viacom and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which aims to engage students, families and community members in efforts to improve America’s public education system and encourage more young people to complete their education.

Hef wants to see Kate's naughty bits

Rumor has it Hugh Hefner sent Kate Gosselin, star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and mother of 8 year old twins and 3 (?) year old sextuplets a letter inviting her to pose for Playboy. Ever the prude, despite her eight children, Kate is said to have been deeply embarassed and tore the letter into pieces. I for one am relieved. Kate has a decent enough mom-body in clothing--especially for someone who has had eight kids--but the post-childbirth stomach of a mother of multiple multiples should only be seen by her mate. Besides, when they are old enough the children will be mortified enough when they read about their father's attempts to regain his castrated balls by changing co-ed girlfriends every 10 days or so.

Y'all can exhale. Paula got a job.

American Idol's favorite space cadet, Paula Abdul, has finally landed a gig after failed deals with Dancing With The Stars and Ugly Betty. Paula tweeted Monday night, "Hi guys! im really excited 2 announce ill b hosting this year's "Vh1 Divas"! The show will be live on Sept 17th @ 9 pm EST." This year's show will honor Adele, Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, and Miley Cyrus.

In my opinion, none of them are divas and only two of them can really sing. I'll leave it up to your imagination which two I like. You can't blame Paula, though. She thought those Idol checks would keep rolling in and that Simon would never get tired of "smelling her perfume." Her little tantrum backfired and it IS a recession, so...on with the snoozefest.

Vanessa Williams: Botox Queen

Vanessa Williams not only admits to using Botox, she’s signed on to promote it. The Ugly Betty star has teamed up with pharmaceutical company Allergan to launch the Botox Cosmetic Express Success Campaign to educate people about the treatment.

She tells Jet magazine, “The purpose for me is to maintain looking like myself. I am not trying to look like anybody else. I am not trying to change anything; I just want to maintain looking like who I am.”
