JACKO'S FAKE NOSE 'MISSING'

Say it ain't so Joe, but the NYPOST ran a story that claims that Michael Jackson wore a prosthetic nose, according a report -- and it was missing from his surgically mangled face as he lay in an LA morgue.

Left behind was a small, dark hole surrounded by bits of cartilage, Rolling Stone magazine said, citing witnesses who saw the King of Pop's body on the autopsy table.

Jackson, who was notoriously shy about his appearance, wore the prosthetic to mask the effects of decades of plastic surgery, according to the magazine, due to hit newsstands today.  I for one think that if this is true, it's really a horrible way to treat a corpse and for images of any kind to be leaked or spoken about are and should be treated as a criminal act against a corpse.

Gates Accepts Obama's Drink Offer

President Barack Obama concedes his words — that a white police officer "acted stupidly" when he arrested a black university scholar in his own home — were ill-chosen. But, while he invited both men to visit him at the White House, Obama stopped short of publicly apologizing for his remark.

The president personally telephoned the two men, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley, in an effort to end the rancorous back-and-forth over what had transpired and what Obama had said about it. Trying to lighten the situation, he even commiserated with Crowley about reporters on his lawn.

Gates said he will accept Obama's invitation to meet with Crowley at the White House over beers.  On Thursday, a multiracial group of police officers had stood with Crowley in Massachusetts and called on Obama to say he's sorry.   Yeah, well getting Obama to say "I'm sorry..."  I don't see that happening anytime soon since he's such an egomaniac but what the heck, maybe he'll prove me wrong and actually say those two little words.  He's already overused the three words "Change has come."

'New Moon' Clips Leak at Comic Con

'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner brought a special treat to Comic Con in San Diego: two exclusive clips from the upcoming film. Thankfully audience members filmed clips during the reveal, so those of us who couldn't trek to the conference could still get our fill of Edward, Bella and Jacob before the movie's November release. Watch the clips:

Octo-Mom Signs Reality TV Deal, Kids to Earn $250 a Day

It's official: Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman's kids are coming to a TV near you. Now come on, it's been like 30 days so you know it was time for the Octo-Mom to rear her ugly head again. I must admit it's genius, she wouldn't have gotten any media attention coming out during the deaths of Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson so coming out right alongside the death of the Taco Bell dog makes perfect sense.

Suleman signed agreements for each of her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality show, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Friday.

The contracts -- which still require a judge's approval -- guarantee the kids will collectively earn nearly $250,000 over the next three years. They'll receive $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year.

Eyeworks will produce the show, according to court documents. The company is also behind Breaking Bonaduce and The Biggest Loser. The Sulemans begin taping Sept. 1. Maybe for a season finale we can mix in a cross over with Jon & Kate + Eight and leave off with a cliffhanger that will make The Brady Bunch look like a normal everyday family!
