Michael Jackson, donned in pajama pants and a tuxedo jacket (Still got it!), made an unusual public appearance yesterday at Planet Hollywood in preparation for his 50th birthday celebration. That's right, this is what a 50-year-old black man is supposed to look like. So, I dunno what Samuel L. Jackson is doing to himself, but it can't be healthy. Thanks to Abbi who tricked me into thinking this was Katie Holmes. Ha! I know where you live...

Yes, Heidi, you've got the right idea. This is definitely the way to finally get people to respect you as an artist. No foolin'. In the meantime after looking at these pictures, I gotta ask: Does no one carry a gun to the supermarket anymore? You can't tell me there wasn't some old lady packin' who could've mowed these two down by the arugula. I thought this was America, dammit!

Suge Knight was arrested yesterday morning after police caught him beating his girlfriend in a parking lot. Suge was holding a knife at the time and was also in possession of Ecstasy and hydrocodone when officers arrived. The AP reports:

"A citizen sees the beating in a parking lot, police get there fast, they see him beating her. It's a good solid case," said Las Vegas police Lt. Chris Carroll. "This is a very large man," Carroll said, estimating his weight at more than twice the woman's. "He was on top of her, actually in the act of violently beating her when the officers arrived, with the knife in his hand." At least one officer drew a Taser stun gun as they approached Knight, said Officer Jacinto Rivera, a police spokesman. He said he did not know if the officers drew their handguns. Knight dropped the folding knife and was taken into custody without incident, Carroll said.

I see: Suge Knight can beat up his girlfriend but pisses himself at the sight of a Taser. Pfft! What a pussy. I'm getting hung upside down from a balcony, aren't I? Neat.

Great news, everybody: Britney Spears will not be performing at this year's VMAs. HURRAY! Her manager Larry Rudolph wants everyone to know Britney is very serious about her album and won't be reprising her now infamous Jiggly Girl dance, according to the AP:

"Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year's VMAs," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager at Jive Records, said in a statement. "She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."

Anyone get the feeling this "new and improved" Britney Spears has no fucking clue what's going on around her? Yeah, she's made some groundbreaking changes (See: wearing a bra.), but the look on Britney's face tells me she has the wherewithal of a ham sandwich. I mean, you could probably light one of her kids on fire, and she wouldn't even bat an eye. Then again, I basically just described anytime Britney makes PB&J. Bad example.
