RIP Michael Jackson: Aug 29 1958 - Jun 25 2009

Wow!! First Ed, then Farrah, and now Michael. I can't believe he's gone already. Even with every news channel covering him now, it feels surreal. I can remember dancing in the car whenever "Don't stop till you get enough" came on the radio when I was 7 years old. I should say, "trying" to dance like him. Watching his videos over and over again, unable to completely understand how anyone could move like he did. And then he did the moonwalk on MTV during "Billie Jean"......OMFG. That was it! I just HAD to do it. Exactly like he did. But..no matter how many different pairs of shoes, or socks I tried....I just couldn't figure it out. Ha! Yeah, he was the man.

And there's always been the gossip, the rumors, and unfortunately the lawsuits. And even though I didn't really follow him once I moved on to junior high and high school, I never stopped being a fan. Especially during the controversial times. Any problems he had are no one's business but his own.

Did the,(Liz Taylor labeled), "King of Pop" have weaknesses and/or vices? Of course he probably did....who doesn't? He was a human being.

So for now, good night and God bless your soul Michael Jackson. You're a mega-icon of American culture, and will always be remembered that way.

He was a legend....but more importantly, a human being. (with a BIG heart)

You'll be remembered always & forever MJ

This is the Michael Jackson that will always be in my mind's eye.......ALWAYS!!

Real Housewife Danielle's REAL past

The smoking gun has gone and done it again. They've successfully obtained the criminal case files against Bravo's REAL HOUSEWIFE - Daniel Staub. (aka Beverly Merrill, aka Angela Minelli), detailing the charges filed against her back in '86. And unlike Danielle stated on the show about how it's "No big deal", the charges she faced were VERY much a BIG deal.

Per Smokinggun.com
Merrill was busted in a Miami apartment in which agents discovered six kilos of cocaine and about $16,000 in cash. In a subsequent indictment, Merrill was charged with eight felonies, including extortion, cocaine possession, and narcotics conspiracy.

No big deal eh? Ha, ha, ha. Wow. At least own up to who you were and what u did bitch!

Then of course, there's the new "sex tape" scandal where her lawyer just filed to block her "26 yr old boyfriend" Steve from releasing it to the public.

SHOCKING!!

EDIT: I found this comment on a article at Gawker.
At first, I was worried that this show would reflect unfavorably on my home state. But now I see that Bravo cast (1) a former prostitute, (2) the daughters of a gentleman who was, um, accidentally shot to death in the trunk of a Cadillac, (3) a woman with a stubby husband who pays for everything in cash and (4) a retarded woman-child. The real housewives of New Jersey indeed!
