Lindsay Lohan asked the ‘Canyons’ crew to strip before she filmed a sex scene

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 08:35 AM PDT

Before I get into this Cracken story, I'd just like to go back and discuss something weird on that Ali Lohan post yesterday. When I first read the TMZ story – about Ali's plans to spend a month in South Korea to try to book modeling gigs – my initial thought was "prostitution." And I discussed those thoughts in the post. But several other sites, and some commenters all discussed the rumors that Ali Lohan might already have her own addiction issues, and might already be in and out of rehab, and this "South Korea" thing is the cover story for another rehab stint. I just wanted to say… that's an interesting theory. As a Lohan conspiracy theorist, I applaud you. I was wondering why Ali had "disappeared" for a while, and that theory does explain some things.

Anyway, on to the other Lohan. Lindsay is filming/finished filming her micro-budget softcore p0rn movie, The Canyons. And TMZ got a "tip" about how Lindsay "performed" during a sex scene. No, not that kind of performance! Crackie asked the movie crew to strip down to their boxers before she got down and dirty on film:

Lindsay Lohan was EXTREMELY hesitant to shoot a steamy sex scene for her new movie “The Canyons” last week — but we’re told, she quickly changed her mind … after the crew fulfilled an extremely unusual request.

Sources connected with production tell TMZ, the scene required Lindsay to go topless — but she was so uncomfortable with the idea of baring her bosom in front of the set’s 10-man crew, she asked them to strip down with her … to their boxers.

The crew was hesitant at first — but according to sources, they eventually obliged, stripping down and shooting the entire scene in their skivvies … and it all went off without a hitch.

You’d think Lindsay would be used to the idea of baring her lady bits — she posed nude in one of the most widely-viewed Playboy issues of all time — but who are we to judge?

As for her porn star cast mate James Deen — nine inches.

That's not an original request from an actress, you know. There's a famous story about Julia Roberts doing something similar when she was filming the "coming out of the ocean in her underwear" scene in Sleeping With the Enemy – I believe all the crew members stripped down to their underwear (at night, in the cold) too. There are other stories, of course. Some directors even let their actors have a stiff drink before filming sex scenes. I'm sure that didn't also happen with Crackie, right? It's not like the whole cast and crew and director are doing shots and blow in between set-ups. Why, if that was happening, wouldn't you expect the director to sound as delusional as the Cracken? OH WAIT.

Oh, and I love how delicate and innocent Lindsay pretends to be. Like she hasn't been publicly flashing her crack muffin since 2006. Like she didn't JUST pose for Playboy.

Chris Pine steps out with new girlfriend Dominique Piek: too scruffy or still hot?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 08:20 AM PDT

Chris Pine

Chris Pine and his newest girlfriend, Dominique Piek, were spotted doing some late night grocery shopping in Los Angeles last night. Chris is looking really, really scruffy here, right? I guess it’s just a bit of a shock since he’s got such great facial structure, and it’s a shame to hide it underneath all of that stubble. But he’s not currently filming anything (although he does have three movies in post-production), so he’s allowed to slack off a bit in the hygiene department. Maybe he’s still in mourning over the poor box-office showing of This Means War.

So who is Dominique? Well she’s a South African model that has been featured in the 2010 edition of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, and describes herself on her Twitter page as “just a model living out of a suitcase.” In these photos, she looks like your everyday prettier than average girl, but I guess we can’t blame her for dressing down so much when her man looks like he’s worn the same flannel shirt for the past week or so.

Meanwhile, I still can’t get over how Chris looks in these photos. Those aren’t … moobs, are they? Tell me they aren’t.

Vanity Fair’s Best-Dressed covers: Duchess Kate and… Jessica Chastain…?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 08:02 AM PDT

I have to admit, I enjoy Vanity Fair's annual "Best Dressed" list. The list is pretty Goopy – as in, the list is always full of insider-y people that you would never think, "Oh, yes – she's really killing it with her style." It's usually more like "Oh, that person is cool, and I guess you have to give her credit for trying to pull that off." I think Jessica Chastain is a great example of this – most people don't really know WHO Jessica is. They've seen her in The Help and probably some other films too, but she's such a great actress and she flies so far under the radar, she doesn't really have a celebrity profile. And for those of us who were paying attention to her this past awards season, she rarely (if ever) made any "Best Dressed" lists. She's just a cool person and a talented actress, with hit-or-miss (mostly miss) style.

Anyway, Jessica and Duchess Kate each got a cover… my guess is that they'll print more Kate covers and everyone will want the Kate cover on the newsstand. No offense to Jessica, but people will probably go, "Huh, Amy Adams?" You can see Vanity Fair's Best Dressed list here – there's a big pictorial of mostly red carpet photos. Some others on the list: French actress Lea Seydoux, Jay-Z, Colin and Livia Firth, Diane Kruger, Prince Harry, Stella McCartney (HAHAHAHA), Tom Brady (no Gisele!), Alicia Keys and Eddie Redmayne (whose cheekbones could cut glass). There is no Michael Fassbender, no Benedict Cumberbatch, no Tom Hiddleston. There are also very few American women – I would have expected to see, like, Emma Stone, maybe? Michelle Williams? Viola Davis? Meryl Streep?

As for Duchess Kate… well, I guess. Her style is now an international thing, and while Kate rarely gets it totally wrong, I think she plays it very safe and very conservative most of the time. Part of that is she's still figuring out what her style is now that she's a member of the royal family, and she errs on the side of "matronly". But overall, I find Kate's style to be much too "precious" – too much lace, too many pastels, too "sweet". That is, when she's not wearing skin-tight jeggings that ride up in her duchess crotch.

James Bond “resurrects” in the new ‘Skyfall’ trailer: OMG, amazing?!!?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 07:29 AM PDT

Whenever I've written about Skyfall and Daniel Craig as the post-9/11 James Bond, most of you react with a collective "meh." WHY? Skyfall looks like an even better Bond film than Casino Royale – and I LOVED Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace was a POS, of course, so let's just pretend that movie didn't even happen. But this one… good God, it looks good. The story seems very heavy on M – played brilliantly by Judi Dench. Ralph Fiennes is on as some kind of MI6 higher-up, I think. Naomie Harris is either Money Penny or another MI6 agent. And Javier Bardem is at his creepy best as the villain. A BLONDE villain. And the part that made me "SQUEEEEE!!!" is the introduction (finally!) of "Q". Played by one of my favorites of the young British actors, Ben Whishaw. What pitch-perfect casting, honestly.

Daniel Craig's Bond has an unexpected character strength, one which we saw in Casino Royale: this Bond isn't always on top. He's better when he's lost a few rounds. He's good as getting his ass kicked. Daniel's Bond isn't all suave moves and cocktails. He's a sh-tkicker. He's MI6 by way of a hard-knock life. And this looks to be Daniel's best outing ever. And how much do you love Ben Whishaw? Is it just me? Because I adore that boy.

SPOILER ALERT– I've heard some mutterings here and there that this will be the final outing for Judi Dench as M. Something about how she doesn't want to do it anymore, and the producers deciding to kill her off. After seeing this trailer… I think that's happening. I think this will be Judi's last one.

Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson will fight each other for custody of Bear the dog

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 06:22 AM PDT

Over the weekend, we discussed the seemingly damning interview, allegedly given by Liberty Ross's brother Leopold Ross about the state of his sister's marriage. The UK tabloid claimed that Leopold had given them an exclusive interview in which he said that everyone knew that Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart had been boning for months and months. I covered the story, as did many other gossip and legit outlets. The quotes seemed in direct contradiction to Rupert and Kristen's "version" of their affair, which was basically that "since we only got caught once, we'll just claim that was the only time we ever fooled around." The quotes also seemed to contradict some of the reports that Liberty has already forgiven her husband for his "silly flirtation" with Kristen. And now People Magazine has a weird denial of Leopold Ross's interview…?

Don’t believe everything you read. Following a new report in British newspaper The People that director Rupert Sanders’s affair with Kristen Stewart was not simply a one-time fling, a source very close to his wife Liberty Ross and her family tells PEOPLE that all quotes from that story are false.

“Contrary to inaccurate reports, neither Liberty Ross nor any member of her family has spoken to the media,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Quotes that are being attributed to the Ross family have been completely fabricated.”

The People report quotes a man purporting to be Liberty’s brother, Leopold Ross, who says, “[Rupert and Kristen's affair] was from the last half of filming and all through post-production, clear into last week.”

Editors at The People did not immediately respond to request for comment and clarification, and sources have maintained to PEOPLE that Kristen and Rupert’s fling was not drawn out.

Regardless, “Rob just isn’t going to be able to get passed the cheating – one time or not,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “It’s something she always knew he could never tolerate.”

Since news of their infidelity broke, Stewart, 22, and Sanders, 41, both issued public apologies, and sources reported the duo had only been intimate once. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Robert Pattinson, 26, and Stewart are not speaking to each other and have both left the home they once shared, PEOPLE has confirmed.

[From People]

So, an unnamed source tells People Mag that the quotes are not real… but Leopold Ross hasn't come out and said anything else to verify or deny the original quotes. This whole thing is so fishy! It feels like Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders' teams are really aggressively pursuing this sketchy "they only hooked up a little bit, there was never a p in her v" strategy. And it's a dumb strategy. Dumb… and very, very young. It feels like the kind of debate we had in the 1990s with the Clinton scandal and what constituted "hooking up" and "cheating". It's not a semantic debate, you know. And beyond that, I simply don't buy that Rupert and Kristen's affair WAS brief. Also – Sanders was also seen out in LA yesterday, for the first time since the scandal broke last week. He's still wearing his wedding ring. Bastard.

Here are some highlights from other Twihardy Meltdown stories:

*According to Radar, Kristen and Rob are having a huge fight over who gets "custody" of their dog, Bear. Kristen is keeping her cat Max, but Rob has always felt that Bear was more "his" animal, although Kristen often played dog-mother to Bear. A source says, "After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles apartment, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear. She was heartbroken – they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby. But Rob was so hurt by Kristen's actions he decided that he wants the dog to help him get over what happened. After all, a dog is a man's best friend and Bear is such a good companion. However, Kristen won't give up Bear in a hurry. She helped Rob save Bear from Parvo disease, which nearly took its life when it was a puppy. She wants joint custody – and it could get a little messy."

*Even more sadness, via the same insider: "Before news of the affair broke, Robert and Kristen were looking into the possibility of adopting another dog. They were desperate for a play pal for Bear and scoured petfinder.com, as well as a few high-kill shelters in Los Angeles. But it seems that's out of the question now." OMG BEAR IS THEIR BABY. Bear = The New Suri Cruise.

*The Sun (the UK tab) claims that Sparkles "has turned to strangers for help since his co-star Kristen Stewart admitted cheating on him." A source says, "Robert has resorted to asking strangers out to keep him company. He went out for drinks with a woman staying in his hotel and he told her it was 'ridiculous' he had nobody to talk to. He's been spending most of his days off playing computer games." Sounds like the first stage of Breakup Grief. Next comes "boning whoever comes around."

*Remember how some of us were asking if Kristen got a boob job several weeks ago? Well, Kristen might have gotten some new boobs for Rupert. Maybe that's what he was doing in her car. Checking out her bolt-ons.

*A source claims, "[Rob] was horrified that she issued a public apology to him. It was even more surprising because the two of them had this very specific personal agreement about not 'going public' with their relationship, until they both agreed it was the right time. To do it this way — apologizing for cheating on him — ended up being totally unacceptable."

Brandi Glanville banged some dude in the bathroom at Kyle Richards’ White Party

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:27 AM PDT

Sometimes, gossip comes full circle in a magical and extremely gross way. Last year, Brandi Glanville publicly admitted that she had a week-long affair with Gerard Butler (they were both single at the time). There had been rumors on-and-off about them for a few months, so it was good to see Brandi verify it. But then Butler was asked about Brandi's week-long-hookup claims, and his reply was rude and priceless: "Who's Brandi Glanville?" So, either they never hooked up or they totally hooked up and Gerard didn't remember who he was bangin' because A) he never pays attention to his strange long enough to get their name and B) we now know Gerard was on a lot of drugs. Long story short, Gerard got sober (allegedly!), and then proceeded to party his ass off at Coachella, even chancing upon a mystery girl (as in, he didn't catch her name) who he boned in one of the Coachella Porto-potties.

As I said, this story comes full circle… Radar reports that Brandi Glanville boned some strange in the bathroom of Kyle Richards' White Party. Doesn't it all make sense now? Gerard and Brandi totally hooked up. In the bathroom. And he never caught her name. Anyway, here's the current Brandi-boned-a-stranger story:

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ infamous White Party was a night filled with booze fueled fights, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that Brandi Glanville was apparently ‘caught’ by her friends having sex in the bathroom! Brandi has earned the reputation of the show’s bad girl and that night she shocked her co-stars with her casual tryst.

“Brandi was in the bathroom with a guy having sex when the girls caught her,” multiple sources — who all say they heard explicit noises coming through the bathroom door — exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

“They couldn’t believe that she was doing that and they were all stunned when they found her.”

According to our sources, the Bravo reality show crew caught her too.

“The crew thought it was hilarious and would really make for great TV, but who knows if they’ll ever air that,” Radar was told.

As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Taylor Armstrong to “extremely intoxicated,” at Kyle’s party and Brandi was telling guests about her fight with Adrienne Maloof over her family.

“Poor Kyle planned this gorgeous party and her guests were acting like total hicks the entire night.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are filming their reunion show Monday night where the sparks are sure to fly.

[From Radar]

First of all, when you live in Beverly Hills, I don't think you should throw "white parties". I'm sure it was just, like, a dress code or theme or something, but it gives my Racism Radar a chill in any case. It would be interesting to know if Kyle actually invited anyone but white people, wouldn't it? So, Brandi "acted like a hick" and had loud, wild sex in the bathroom. Sigh… I'm glad she's getting some… but she's almost 40 years old. She and Gerard Butler BOTH need to stop having sex with strangers in the bathroom, for the love of God.

Tom Hiddleston is the dorky Boy Scout of crushes: would you hit it?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT

I will pretty much give wall-to-wall coverage to Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch whenever we have new photos of those lovely men, but for the most part, I haven't really fallen for Tom Hiddleston, despite many of you trying to get me interested in him. The way I feel about Tom – if I'm being completely honest – is that my heart is already owned by two ginger boys, Fassy and Prince Harry. Do I have room, do I have the time, do I have the inclination, do I have the need to fall for Tom Hiddleston? I don't know. I've come across various videos and interviews from Tom which made me go, "Huh, he IS cute." But I've yet to have that crush-defining moment where I go, "YES, my new obsession!"

Anyway, these are some new photos of Tom in Cologne, Germany, meeting with some German Hiddlestoners. From what I've heard and seen, Tom is really sweet to his fans. Well, he just seems like a sweetheart in general. Fassbender is a boy's boy, happy that he's gotten a higher profile, but he still treats a lot of his "fame" with some skepticism and "coolness". Whereas Tom is just incredibly earnest and… I don't know, there's something winningly needy and nerdy about him. I'm not saying that in a bad way – he just seems to be the Dorky Boy Scout of the Young, Hot British Actors.

And much like my beloved Cumberbatch, Hiddleston's hotness definitely improves when you see him in motion, and you can hear his voice. He also does great impressions – his Owen Wilson is AMAZING.

Cute, right? Sigh… maybe I do have room in my heart to love him.

Dear Hiddlestoners: how much do you want to be a pen cap right now?

Blake Shelton “jokes” about deliberately running over a box turtle: cruel or get over it?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:51 AM PDT


Blake Shelton has a long, well documented drinking and tweeting problem, to the point where his wife Miranda Lambert has called herself a “twittow,” or Twitter widow. (I know, it’s stupid.) Blake’s latest Twitter controversy involves him bragging about running over a box turtle in Oklahoma and wondering aloud if they’re endangered in that state. (From what I could find, they’re not, they’re just threatened depending on the species.) When people tried to call Blake out for harming wildlife he got all defensive and angry, and ultimately tried to claim that he wasn’t even in Oklahoma and was making a joke. Weak. Put down the Barcadi and step away from the Blackberry.

On July 27, Shelton made the odd choice to boast about how he deliberately ran over a turtle with his car:

@blakeshelton
Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn’t just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one…

Not surprisingly, the Twittersphere responded with concern and anger. NPR blogger Barbara J. King replied to Shelton’s tweet, asking if it was a bad joke:

That turtle’s life meant something- was your tweet a bad joke? Why would you be so cruel to a living being?"

Shelton, in return, told her to “Shut up...”

After that remark, Shelton was inundated with angry tweets, most of which he flippantly responded to, but later he responded with increasing hostility to a user named @turtlefeed, who was repeatedly tweeting about Shelton’s perceived apathy toward animal life. Sheton wrote:

Hey @turtlefeed. Before u make an even bigger dipshit of urself you should research on how much money I have raised to feed homeless animals,” adding, “Hey @turtlefeed.. I solely have raised over a million dollars in animal rescue/conservation alone… How much have you raised? Oh. Ok. Next!

Watching a Twitter fight between a celebrity and their followers is always simultaneously amusing and depressing, but in a series of tweets, Shelton finally broke down and said he was joking about killing the turtle:

The best part of all of this is that the dumb asses didn’t even look to see that I’m not even in Oklahoma today!! I’m in North Dakota!! Do they even have turtles in North Dakota?!!! God almighty!!! What’s wrong with people?! Get a life!! Get a job!! Get laid!! For once!!!” He later added, “For the last time I didn’t hit a turtle! I haven’t seen a turtle! So please all you turtle freaks go back to eating your boogers!! It’s ok.

Shelton got so much flak, both for his joke and for the way that he responded to critics, that he was finally forced to apologize for having a poor sense of humor:

@blakeshelton
Ok.. Now that “Turtle-Gate” is over I want to apologize for my ignorant joke.. I never ran over a turtle. It wasn’t even possible.

[From Huffington Post]

I don’t get it. If he didn’t kill a turtle why was he acting like he did until people responded negatively? Sure he likes to hunt, but in my mind that’s different, that’s killing an animal for meat, not just because you can. Although a lot of people do it for sport of course. I never really hunted or understood the appeal of hunting, but I’m a meat eater and am not against it as long as the animal is used for meat.

I live in the country in Virginia, and I’ve “saved” a few box turtles who have wandered onto the road. If you’re driving and there aren’t any other cars around, it’s just the right thing to do to move them to the side. Box turtles don’t hurt anyone, and they’re actually kind of cute. Plus they move slow so it’s easy to rescue them. (I once even “saved” a snapping turtle, although all I really did was stop. The next dude who stopped had big protective gloves and a box and stuff. He was the one who moved it to the other side of the road. There’s no way I would have done that on my own.) I’ve never personally seen anyone swerve to deliberately hit a turtle, although a friend of mine claims to have seen people do it. It just seems like such a stupid, redneck thing to do, nonetheless brag about as if it were funny.

My dad saved this little guy below a couple of years ago, and I took these photos. My son loved this turtle and called him “boxy.” He hung out at my parents’ pond for a little while before he decided to head off into the woods nearby.

Duchess Kate repeats a lilac Roksanda Illincic dress in London: lovely & perfect?

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:34 AM PDT

As I mentioned yesterday, Duchess Kate was scheduled to go solo at a "lavish" dinner party in London last night, and these are some of the photos from the event. The prime minister was there. Stella McCartney was there. Katy B was there. I actually went a little overboard with the photos just because I am beyond thrilled with Duchess Kate's look here. First off, I totally recognized that this dress was a repeat from last year – because this Roksanda Illincic dress really stood out during Kate and William's stop in LA during their North American tour, and I've been hoping she would repeat it. This dress is maybe one of my favorite pieces ever on Kate. It's a lovely pale grey-lavender. I love the cut of the dress. I love "the wave" effect on the bodice. I just love this dress in total, and I love it on her. I'm so happy that she repeated it!

Kate really brought it with her other styling choices too – I don't remember ever seeing these Kiki McDonough earrings before, but they're a great pick. Her normally too-heavy makeup works here because it's an evening event, and it's pretty formal – for once, her heavy makeup looks occasion-appropriate. I like her choice of a sparkly little clutch, and I don't hate her grey-beige heels – by LK Bennett, of course. Kate must have a half-dozen LK Bennett heels, and they're her go-to choice for public events.

But really, we need to talk about her hair. We always need to lavish praise on her whenever she pulls her hair back and we're not being assaulted by her giant sausage curls. We have to thank her whenever we get through an event without half of the photos being relegated to "Kate keeps fussing with her curls like they're her security blanket." I LOVE HER HAIR LIKE THIS – in an elegant chignon. Why doesn't she pull it back more often? She always looks so pretty and sophisticated with her hair pulled back. And personally – as someone with long hair – I would love to try this style. I think my hair might be able to do this.

Janet, Randy, Rebbie & Jermaine banned from Jackson home after altercation

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:26 AM PDT


As you know, Tito’s son TJ Jackson, 34, was appointed temporary guardian of Michael’s three children after their grandmother Katherine disappeared for a week while under the care of some of her adult children. Katherine eventually returned, and she reportedly plans to file paperwork, in cooperation with TJ, for shared custody. (Along with presumably some of the massive cash that comes from Michael Jackson’s estate to provide for his children. A reported $86k a month.)

During Katherine’s “vacation,” there was an altercation between Janet, Randy and Micheal’s kids when Janet and Randy came to pick up the kids and bring them to Arizona to be with Katherine. The kids refused to go, their security team backed them up, and the whole incident showed just how far some members of the Jackson family were willing to go to control Micheal’s money. Well now Janet, Randy, Rebbie and Jermaine – the whole faction of Jacksons who are questioning the validity of Michael’s will and want to overthrow the estate’s executors – have been banned from the property, at TJ’s request. Here’s more, thanks to ETOnline:

Attorneys for the estate of Michael Jackson have confirmed to ET that Janet, Randy, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson are currently prohibited from entering the Calabasas home shared by Paris, Prince, Blanket and Katherine Jackson.

Charles Shultz, an attorney for TJ Jackson, Jr. (who is temporarily sharing guardianship of Michael Jackson’s children with Katherine) helped to compile the list of persons no longer allowed on the Jackson family property in Calabasas– namely Janet, Randy, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson.

In a statement to ET, attorneys for Michael Jackson’s estate write:

“Following the events of July 23 in which certain members of the Jackson family showed up unannounced at the Calabasas residence of Michael Jackson’s mother and children, causing a very public disturbance, the attorneys for the Estate of Michael Jackson as lessees of the house were requested by Charles Schultz, attorney for TJ Jackson, Jr., the newly appointed Temporary Guardian for Michael Jackson’s children, to send a list to the security gate of people neither TJ or the children wanted allowed on the premises in view of the incidents that had just taken place. The list may be amended and managed by TJ Jackson Jr. or the Estate when appropriate. It is imperative to the Estate that from this point forward a safe and appropriate environment be provided for Michael Jackson’s children and his mother.”

This comes just weeks after a relative reported Katherine Jackson missing, which heightened the ongoing dispute over the validity of Michael Jackson’s will — which leaves everything in the pop star’s lucrative estate to Katherine and his children. Five of Michael’s siblings recently claimed that Michael’s will was fake and they have demanded that the executors of his estate should resign.

The estate denies the allegations, which first emerged shortly after Michael Jackson died in June 2009 from an overdose of a powerful anesthetic.

[From ETOnline]

This is far from over. This isn’t just TMZ reporting that some Jacksons are barred from the home, as per an insider source, this is an official statement from the estate sending a clear message: back off.

Did you hear what Gladys Knight said about the incident in which Paris Jackson refused to let aunt Janet take away her cell phone? She said “I would think it’s a good thing [Janet] lets Paris know who she is. If [Paris] called me that, she would have no teeth. That’s how we were brought up. You respect your elders.” So she’s advocating hitting a 14 year-old girl in response to the girl swearing? I hope Gladys is basing her opinion on press reports and isn’t a close friend of Janet’s or anything. That’s despicable.

Meanwhile, Katherine is said to be “furious” with Randy for orchestrating the challenge of the will and trying to overthrow the executors. Randy is said to be the ringleader, and to have convinced Janet to join him along with Rebbie and Jermaine. (It’s allegedly not about money for Janet, but I doubt it.) Katherine didn’t realize what Randy and company were up to while she was holed up in Arizona, and is very upset that they tried to do it without her knowledge. She also is said to have told Randy to make sure this drama stays out of the press. Good luck with that. It’s not Paris’ fault for tweeting at all, someone else is putting this out there.

Oh and the judge presiding over the guardianship case for the Jackson children has called for an investigation into their care. It’s uncertain whether TJ and Katherine will be allowed to share custody, although they plan to request it.
