Jackson Kids To Sing At Grammy's?

There is a rumor starting to circulate that Michael Jackson's kids may make not only an appearance, but perform at this weekend Grammy Awards.

Things started to heat up when American Idol's Ryan Seacrest posted to his Twitter page that MJ's kids may participate.

Seacrest said on Wednesday:

"Just talked to the executive producer of the Grammys... hearing MJ's kids may sing."


Were pretty sure he would not have said anything unless there was at least a remote chance the children would appear.

There have been rumors before about the kids making an album and/or appearing on a Jackson Family bio or televised special.

More as news comes our way…

Breakup - Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Are Done

In what will become one of the biggest Hollywood splits of all time, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are calling it quits and have signed the papers on how to split their massive fortunes and children.

News outlets are reporting that Angelina and Brad started the breakup process in December when they visited a top divorce lawyer to begin working out how to split things up.

As of today, they will split their money equally and have shared custody of their six children. The kids however, will live with Jolie full time.

Since the couple is not married, the documents are reported to be more like a powerful prenuptial agreement - but for unmarried people.

There is no date penned yet on the documents, and it looks more like they are just getting everything ready for when they decide to officially split.

They have three adopted children - Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and Zahara, 5, and three biological kids Shiloh, 3, and 17- month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Their joint fortune of about $350 million includes mansions in France, California and New Orleans.

Rumors have been circulating for months that the couple's relationship was doomed.

We suspect the $350 million is just the combined, joint income since the couple has been together - because we know Pitt is worth close to a billion dollars.

This could get very ugly.

Scott Baio Receives Death Threats

Here is one we didn't think we would ever hear - Teen heartthrob Scott Baio has been receiving death threats because of some nasty Twitter posts.

Seems the "Charles In Charge" star, now 48, posted an unflattering picture of Michelle Obama along with some pretty unprofessional comments.

Baio immediately started to receive threatening Twitters, emails, and phone calls after he commented Michelle looked lake a man.

One angry Obama fan told Baio:

"Easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish you - I am a republican and I love Mrs O."


Baio quickly posted an apology saying:

"For New followers: I POST A LOT OF JOKES WITH PICS. They are JUST that, a joke. NOT targeting anyone. Laughter IS the best medicine."


We suspect this is just a case of a bad Twitter going haywire.

Old Scott has been keeping busy these days, with two-rumored movie deals in the works. Yea, right.

Watch Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris Sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"

Last night, during the "Hope For Haiti" telethon, Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris crooned a version of Leo Cohen's "Hallelujah".

If you saw it, then you probably got goose bumps as the song gained in volume and meaning.

Timberlake seems most comfortable singing and performing in the pop culture arena, but last nights performance was sure to touch more then a few hearts.

It was one of the best performances of the evening, and summed up lots of emotions into one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

It's good to see young Hollywood come together in a way that is not just self serving, tabloid grabbing, over the top sensationalism used to grab headlines.




All of this was part of George Clooney's "Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief" telethon in Los Angeles, California on Jan. 22, 2010.

Video - Jimmy Fallon Does Neil Young "Pants On The Ground"

With all the late night talk show fighting and scandal these days, it is refreshing to see some great comedy every now and then.

Last night, Jimmy Fallon started his "Late Night" show SNL style with a cold open of him doing an impression of Neil Young.

The guy was spot on.

Fallon has only done this impression one other time, and this time I thought it was outstanding.

His song of choice last night was "Pants On The Ground".

Adam Lambert To Guest On "Glee"

American Idol runner-up, and popular winner Adam Lambert, will be making a guest appearance on the hit series "Glee".

Details are few and far between, but we do know that Lambert will appear as a big-brother mentor figure to openly gay Kurt Hummel played by Chris Colfer.

Lambert was courted by producers a while back about the appearance, and reports say Lambert was "thrilled" to be part of the smash hit show.

With the exception of the talk show circuit, (Ellen, Oprah, Leno, Letterman, The View, etc.), this will be Lambert's first real shot at comedy and drama.

While we can envision a crotch grab or gay kiss arc in the yet to be written script, we suspect things will be kept to a dull roar.

The episode is scheduled to air during April 2010.

"Glee" is an underdog story where a high-school Spanish teacher becomes the director of the school's Glee club, hoping to restore it to its former glory. "Glee" has already been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards.

Lambert may have to be added to our Top Ten Openly Gay Male Hollywood list after his hit single and video, "For Your Entertainment" shot to the top of the charts.

Mariah Carey Drunk Video - Watch

Mariah Carey got a little carried away at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards Tuesday Night.

Carey was present to accept the Breakthrough Actress Award for her role in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."

The singer stumbled on her words, slurred her speech, and interjected several very confusing pauses and groans.

This is not the first time the singer has been in front of the camera doing embarrassing things, but this one is up there with the best of them!

You be the judge:
