At least 12 Michael Jackson fans have killed themselves over the loss of their favorite pop star according to new reports.

On Thursday June 25th, the world lost two beloved icons. Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both died as the result of long stand health issues. For most, the normal state of grieving took effect while others took it to extremes. The founder of an online Michael Jackson fan club has claimed that several fans have taken their own lives because the grief was too much and they wanted to be with their beloved pop icon.

“Gary Taylor, president and owner of MJJcommunity.com, says, “I know there has been an increase (in deaths), I now believe the figure is 12. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live.

They (fans) can’t accept it, they feel in some sort of different reality. I’m stunned that he’s dead. One minute he is coming here for concerts and the next he is gone. I think the funeral will be where the reality kicks in that he is gone and won’t be coming back, there will be a huge depression in the fan community when that happens.”

Reverend Jesse Jackson has even chimed in on the situation asking fans not to fall to the grief and craziness.

“This is a time when hearts are heavy. There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michael’s life. It made Michael happy saying ‘We Are The World’. Don’t self-destruct. We fall down sometimes, we get back up. That’s the right thing to do. In Michael’s name let’s live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools.”

Fans who aren’t crazy are planning a vigil for Michael at the 02 Arena in London on July 13th. This was the date he was due to start his comeback tour in Europe. Jackson will also be laid to rest after a concrete cause of death is found. His father, Joe Jackson, stated that they are not closing the funeral to the public. Joe was also snubbed in Michael’s will. The two have had a long standing feud after allegations of abuse surfaced.

Marion and Tabitha Broderick are barely a week old and they are already have a photo shoot under their tiny little Chanel belts.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick welcomed their twin daughters thanks to the help of a surrogate on June 22nd in Ohio. The baby girls join the couple’s first child, James Wilkie, in a family photo.

The couple was facing numerous reports of an impeding divorce, but seemed unaware they were on the verge of a split. Sara is busy entertaining the kids and planning her next film installment of “Sex and the City.”

SJP might be joined by Victoria Beckham in the movie. The Spice Girl has been eyeing a role in film and even hired an acting coach to help convince producers she is serious. Numerous scripts have also been floating around. So far 3 are considered the most legit. A different scenario between Carrie and Big center each plot. If this is true then Big will either leave Carrie, knock up Carrie or die.

Should be interesting. Just a long as Samantha is riding around some hot pool boy at some point I will be happy.

She’s fresh out of the Costa Rican jungle having finished her stint presenting the US version of ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’ but there was no rest for the wicked for British star, Myleene Klass as she shopped at the Beverly Hills centre in Los Angeles.

Myleene and baby Ava looked every inch Hollywood royalty as they smiled for cameras and casually strolled along in sweat pants and jump suits clearly loving the LA way… maybe a permanent move to the US could be in the cards for Myleene? Speaking recently in the Daily Mirror, Myleene says its her daughter Ava that A-Listers can’t get enough of:

“Matt Damon, Ben Stiller, Leona Lewis and Angelina Jolie all love her and even Simon Cowell loves her enough to let her run around in his white-walled mansion in LA.

She’s been on P-Diddy’s yacht and i’ve got a picture of her boarding a private jet and walking up the steps.

She’s met Enrique Iglesias three times and he talks to her in Spanish. And she sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Andrew Lloyd Webber.”

Wow this one-year old has the kind of address book most of us would die for!

I thought they may have been the exception to the ‘Celebrity divorce’ rule…I thought, honestly that these two might have had it in them to keep things amicable, even if just for the kids.

I’m afraid to say that I was wrong about Katie Price and Peter Andre.

Things have gotten so bad between the estranged couple that Pete has banned his soon to be ex wife, Katie Price AKA Jordan from attending their daughters second birthday - did I mention barbie themed second birthday party, how cool!

Pete’s been attacking his wife’s recent Ibiza antics in his UK magazine column saying:

“When I was in Cyprus, I managed to shield myself from most of Kate’s Ibiza antics, but I got a very nasty shock on my return. I thought she was a disgrace and was speechless.”

I really should have known better than to think these two ex-lovebirds had what it took to be different.

I will now go and hang my head in shame, boo hoo.

Mariah Carey looked eerily like Eminem, while shooting her new “Obsessed” music video outside New York City’s Plaza Hotel on Monday.

Mariah seems to be responding to Eminem’s unflattering references to her and her husband Nick Cannon from his track “Bagpipes From Baghdad.”

In the song “Obsessed,” Mariah reportedly tells Eminem:

“Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy, I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me….You’re delusional/ Boy, you’re losing your mind.”

The video was directed by Brett Ratner, who originally cast Andy Samberg for the role of the man. But because it’s presumably anti-Eminem, he backed out and Mariah filled in for the role of the man.

Rising R&B artist Chanj and the New Kids On The Block have paid tribute to the late King of Pop, by covering “I’ll Be There”.

Check out Chanj’s cover of the famous song below:

Also, on the night of Michael’s death NKOTB covered the same song at one of their concerts. Check it out below:

I wouldn’t be doing him a service if I were to leave out the original, so enjoy:

And this tribute below is full of nothing but FAIL:

I can’t say that this is at all fitting for the legacy of the King of Pop. It was heart-wrenching enough to lose such an icon in the world of music on Thursday. Michael Jackson’s music will forever be a legacy to his talent.

OK! Magazine felt the need to put his final photo on the cover of their publication. Get this, it’s a tribute! WTF?

A more fitting tribute would have been to use something on the cover from his Thriller days or maybe something from his Jackson 5 days, but no, they’ve decided to use the photo from his ambulance ride to the hospital on Thursday.

No tact! They should be ashamed of themselves for this nonsense. This pays absolutely NO tribute to his memory!!

It’s only been four days since he left us. This is plain awful!

UPDATE (Allie): The OK magazine offices in the United States, have also elected to use this same photo.

Britney Spears and new agent-turned-lover Jason Trawick are planning a September wedding.

The 27-year-old pop princess and agent went shopping in Bed, Bath and Beyond and stocked up on household items including brooms and picture frames. They were escorted by two of Britney’s bodyguards.

There are no reported details of the wedding, but a source close to Britney has confirmed their intentions.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are newlyweds. The expecting couple were married on Saturday at Kendra’s former home. This is the second wedding to take place at the Playboy mansion. The first was Hugh Hefner’s wedding.

Wilkinson wore a princess themed dress with a snug bodice. Hank was dressed in white from head to toe in a tux with matching shoes. The former “Girls Next Door” reality starlet was flanked by her bridesmaids which included former Playboy partners in crime, Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison. They were in a tea length light violet dresses. Hugh Hefner was also in attendance with his hands on his new girlfriends’ laps. He sat behind Kendra’s mother in a black tux.

Congrats to the happy couple.
