Best laugh of the weekend: a Brit tabloid’s assertion that Macaulay Culkin is the biological father of Blanket, Michael Jackson’s youngest child.
Are they kidding? This is as preposterous as Mark Lester being Paris’s father.
In each case, there isn’t even a slight hint of physical similarity. Forget that Culkin is blond and blue eyed, and that [...]

Website TMZ got punk’d today by a concert promoter who wants a chunk of Michael Jackson’s money.
The site has published a letter purportedly from Frank DiLeo, Michael’s manager, instructing anyone who wants to produce a Jackson tribute concert to come through him. The letter bears a scrawled, indeciperable signature and the very funny sentence “Frank [...]
