That Crazy Jackson Family

If you thought Michael Jackson was the oddball of the Jackson family, you may be reconsidering that after this week’s Jackson family drama. First, it was reported that Katherine Jackson, guardian of Michael’s children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, was missing last Saturday night by her nephew. The reason he filed the report was that the children said they had not heard from their grandmother. Jermaine said Katherine was in Arizona resting, but Paris insisted on Twitter that Katherine was missing and she hadn’t spoken to her in a week. Jermaine said his mother was resting per doctor’s orders, that she … Continue reading

They Are Paid What?

For years, I have watched and occasionally written about reality television. To this day, I’d rather watch a repeat of Project Runway over most new shows.

Family members, associates, and fans contacted Julien’s Auctions about selling the merchandise. The auction, held at Hard Rock Café … Continue reading

Randy Quaid’s Legal Woes

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been accused of leaving a San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. without paying his bill. I love Quaid’s Cousin Eddie character from the National Lampoon Vacation movies. But, I really learned what a great actor he was when I saw Midnight Express. However, lately, Quaid has been known more of his antics off the screen rather than on. He and Evi were arrested on September 24th in Marfa, Texas for skipping out on the $10,000 hotel bill last June. While that may seem like an innocent enough mistake, the couple missed four … Continue reading
