Michael Jackson shot a music video a few days ago for his upcoming tour that was scheduled to begin in July.

Michael Jackson showed no unusual signs of distress — he was rehearsing his upcoming concert at the Staples Center in L.A. But, like other nights of rehearsal, Jackson was both hours late and lethargic.

Rehearsal went late into the evening. Jackson was singing and dancing with the backup dancers and the band. Someone who was there says Jackson was supposed to show at 7 PM but didn’t arrive until 10 and he was “listless.” But that was normal, according to people at rehearsal.

Right now, some of the cast and crew are at Staples, packing up their stuff.

In other Michael Jackson news… the singer is reported to have died from an overdose.

Gisele Bundchen has one already infuriated Bridget Moynahan by once claiming Moynahans child with husband Tom Brady is also 100% hers. Wonder if her latest claims made on a Brazilian tv show will be what finally sends Moynahan through the roof?

“I am crazy about children … I am an adoptive mother… I’ve already had this experience for two years,” says Bundchen.

Yikes! Quite the bold statement to make about another womans child, wouldn’t you think? Especially a woman who makes no secret of her distaste for you. If you listen closely enough, thats the sound of claws sharpening that you hear… The supermodel is currently said to be pregnant with her first child, the second for her husband Tom, with rumors circulating of an expected due date of December 14th.

Farrah Fawcett had been fighting a very serious case of anal cancer. The life threatening illness has taken the life of the “Charlie’s Angels.”

Last night a priest was summoned to Farrah’s bedside to perform last rites. She is a devout Catholic according to NY Daily News. A few days ago she and Ryan O’Neal announced they would be remarrying. Originally this hospital stay was thought be a brief stay and she had planned to return home last week. Farrah had since been in ICU for two weeks. Ryan O’Neal confirmed the loss of his personal angel at 9:28 PST this morning.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal tells PEOPLE, also confirming that she received the last rites of the Catholic Church. “She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now. She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of the wonderful Farrah.

You’d think butter wouldn’t melt but the normally well behaved, girl next door, everyone loves, Emma Bunton showed her diva-ish side on a night out in London yesterday.

The Baby Spice was out with pals at trendy nightspot, Mahikia when she asked staff if she could smoke; Obviously the answer is No - there is a smoking ban!

The 33 year old mother of one, clearly didn’t like being told this, so asked to speak to the manager who also told her that it was in fact illegal.

So in true ‘I’m not having this’ manner ordered a round of drinks, stayed 45mins and got up and left…tut tut tut

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, her ‘people’ were unavailable for comment.

-When was the last time you had a hit dear? Diva behaviour doesn’t really sit well with old has-beens.

Sorry

Simon Cowell has come under fire yet again for the pressures and stress that contestants of his talent show endure…but no one forced them to audition, right?

This time it’s at the London auditions for the X-Factor which hits screens across the UK at the end of the summer. According to reports in the british press, a woman in her fifties became hysterical and sobbed uncontrollably when she was got rejected.

Sounds scarily familiar to Susan Boyle’s recent antics following her defeat on Britains Got Talent - another Simon Cowell mastermind.

However, not one to take bad press lightly, Simon has paid for a ’stand-by’ doctor to deal with incidences and the woman was seen by the doc and seen by medics the following day.

The show which hits screens across the UK in a few months time sees wannabe singers battle it out for a £1million recording contract.

Judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole are currently auditioning across the UK.
