Anna Nicole an Addict - We knew This!
Another dead gold digger
Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daddy, Larry Birkhead, told a court yesterday that he thought the Playboy model was taking too many drugs before she died — including while she was pregnant with their daughter, Dannielynn.
“I felt she took medication in excess,” he testified at a preliminary hearing to see if Smith’s former doctors, Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, and her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, should stand trial for giving her too much prescription medication before her 2007 death.
“I felt like she was addicted to methadone,” Birkhead said.
He said Stern was always asking her if she had taken her meds. Birkhead also testified that Smith had bottles of methadone in the house.

‘Michael Jackson’s Ticket Sales Break International Records

Michael Jackson - Puff Puff Give Me!
Documentary has sold out hundreds of screenings across U.S. a month before its release.
Even in death, Michael Jackson continues to be a guaranteed superstar. Just as the initial run of his planned concerts at the O2 arena in London sold out almost instantly earlier this year, the posthumous documentary about the King of Pop’s preparations for that residency, “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” has broken advance ticket sales records for a movie.
According to Reuters, hundreds of screenings in North America have already sold out, a month before the film’s October 28 opening.
Among the cities with the strongest sales are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York. Records were also set in Japan, where more than $1 million in tickets were sold on the first day they were available. In London, fans bought more than 30,000 tickets on the first day, eclipsing the advance interest in the “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” films, which were wildly popular in Britain. Record sales were also reported in Holland, Sweden, Belgium and New Zealand.
The documentary will have a limited two-week run, which might explain the rush on tickets. On Sunday, all 3,000 spots for a Los Angeles advance screening of “This Is It” on October 27 sold out within two hours.
The film follows Jackson as he rehearsed and prepared for a 50-date run of concerts, which were scheduled to begin in London just weeks after his death on June 25. Sony Pictures Entertainment paid $60 million for the more than 100 hours of hi-def rehearsal footage. The film, which was directed by Kenny Ortega, will feature behind-the-scenes footage as well as Jackson and his band and dancers rehearsing for the tour.
Last week, it was confirmed that a two-disc album featuring a new song, “This Is It,” will be released on October 27 to coincide with the movie’s theatrical release. The new single drops on October 12.
Search for Jessica Simpson’s Dog - Called Off
September 18, 2009 by m.coonce · Leave a Comment
This is what your dog will look like when found.
A group of experts aiding Jessica Simpson in the quest for her lost dog is officially calling off their search.
Sources close to the situation say Simpson and the FindToto.com people have exhausted every possible resource to find Jessica’s precious Daisy — last spotted in the grasp of a wild coyote.
The Simpson’s camp used tracking dogs, scoured neighborhoods, put up posters, power-dialed neighbors and did everything else they could to find a clue … but came up short. They even told a pet psychic offered to help, but we’re not sure if Jessica actually accepted the supernatural offer.
Jessica still has hope … but that hope seems to be fading pretty quickly.
UPDATE: I’ll tell you what no one else can seem to do. You’re dog is DEAD. It was taken by a coyote! What do you think is going to happen; do you think they’re out in the desert playing together?
