If He Had a Grave, MJ Would Be Turning in It
The media madness surrounding the sudden death of Michael Jackson continues unabated, fueled by the public’s nearly insatiable decades-long appetite about the talented and troubled King of Pop. One can get whiplash trying to keep up with all the latest developments. The pop star will be buried at Neverland after a public viewing and private service. No, he won’t be.

Turns out she was actually with one of her younger girls....

For those of you who could not get enough of Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano, here she is–and absolutely riveting as the title character in “Nurse Jackie.” From the opening sequence in which she expertly snorts tiny red pellets — I’m not familiar enough with pharmaceuticals to know exactly what sort of upper, tranquilizer...
