Even though many months since the tragic events have already passed, it seems that Michael Jackson’s brothers, Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine cannot yet cope with the fact that Michael has left them for good. This is what Tito Jackson said on the matter: “No matter what we’re doing – working in the studio or rehearsing dance steps – there’s an emptiness there. You feel it constantly. It’s bearing down on you. Emotionally it’s very difficult to sing these songs without Michael. Just to hear him on the radio today is very emotional.” It does seem tough for them… strange that Joe Jackson has no input on this. Surely he too is struck with emotion when he hears Michael Jackson on the radio.
Chelsea Clinton got on her bike and raised thousands of dollars for charity – by hosting a spinning class.
The former First Daughter and SoulCycle raised $66,810 for the earthquake victims in Haiti.
Some spinners paid up to $1,500 each for a spot in the 90-minute class held at SoulCycle in New York City, with 100 per cent of the proceeds being donated to the earthquake victims through the Clinton Foundation.
Chelsea was also joined by US stars Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos, who both generously opened their chequebook and participated in the calorie-burning class.
Chelsea, 29, decided to hold the money-raising spin class after travelling to Haiti with her father and former President Bill Clinton.
She said: “Thank you all for being here to support this effort. I hope you all continue to support Haiti over the months and years to come.
“The day after the earthquake struck, the international community fed 3,000 people. Today, people have fed 100,000 people and we actually need to be feeding a million people.
“This demonstrates how much we’ve done but how much more work we have to do. We need a lot of money to do that.”
Lesbian socialite Casey Johnson suffered financial troubles in the months before her death, according to a US website.
A celebrity news site claims the pharmaceutical company heiress, who was reportedly engaged to reality TV star Tila Tequila, was sued for failing to make car lease payments and lost a five-figure lawsuit to a nanny service.
Johnson was apparently sued by Porsche in September last year after she missed the $2,300.47-a-month lease payments on her 2009 Porsche Cayenne in June, July and August. She eventually lost the car to Porsche in December.
And in August last year, nanny service the Elizabeth Rose Agency reportedly sued her, claiming she owed them money, and won a judgment for more than $20,000 four months later.
Johnson, an heiress to the fortune of Johnson & Johnson, was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Monday, aged 30.
TV presenter Myleene Klass was told off by police after she brandished a knife at a group of youths who were looking through her window.
The 31-year-old was at home alone with her two-year-old daughter Ava when she saw the youths looking through her home at midnight.
However, she was left ‘aghast and bemused’ when police told her she could have been prosecuted for her actions for carrying an offensive weapon.
A spokesman for the star said: “Myleene saw the yobs at her home in Potters Bar on Friday and all she did was scream and wave the knife to scare them. She was left aghast and bemused.”
Hertfordshire police added: “Advice was given about ensuring that suspicious behaviour is reported immediately.”

The Web sites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com polled thousands of single, male and female online daters and Twitter followers in the United States.

Other celebs to rate a mention were Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, Guy Ritchie and Madonna, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon, and Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen.

Desperate Housewives beauty Eva Longoria and her basketball star husband Tony Parker dressed up as Grease’s Sandy and Danny for an internet video spoofing the classic 70s movie.
The celebrity couple donned wigs and 1950s-style costumes to perform the film’s famous Summer Nights song.
Eva and Tony looked the part in the roles played by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John and got their choreography almost spot on.
But they played it safe by miming along to the original vocals.
Basketball ace Tony posted the footage on his website to promote a competition to meet the celebrity couple at one of his NBA games for the San Antonio Spurs early next year.
The competition challenges fans to recreate a scene from their favourite musical comedies.
Tony explained the couple chose to make their own version of Grease because it is Eva’s favourite film.

I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world, and I am so happy y’all love it because I do this all for you. I can’t wait till you see the video.” The video was directed by Diane Martell and choreographed by Tone & Rich.

The teen actress said: “I had to do my entrance three or four times, because every time I walked on, Regis would introduce me like: ‘And now, Kimberly Stewart’.

Eventually, the 78-year-old co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly got the Twilight star’s name right.
The actress says that bloggers often complain about her appearance.
Commenting on a picture of her taken in Vancouver, wearing a hoody and jeans, she said: “People think that I am a really terrible dresser. But I don’t dress for fashion magazines. I dress as a normal person…
“I go outside and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty and people say: ‘What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush’.
“I’m like: ‘Don’t you get it? I’m not that girl’. Like I never was that girl. It’s not like I was really clean-cut last year.”

Twilight star Ashley Greene says the third film in the Twilight series ‘Eclipse’ will be “more guy friendly”.
The actress has said that the director of the vampire saga intends to include more action in the third instalment of the movie series.
Director David Slade is reportedly taking the third Twilight film in a darker direction.
The 22-year-old, who plays the character Alice, said: “I think it’ll be different.
“I think it’s going to be a battle between the studio and the director, and it’s going to be a hard balance, ’cause I think he’s… a little more focused on it being real and maybe it being gorier and a little dark and kind of dramatic.”
Greene continued by discussing how Eclipse will be focused around a battle between vampires and werewolves whereas the first Twilight film was built around a love story.
Ashley added: “The first one was very focused on this love story and really sweet and it was beautiful, but it didn’t have a lot of stuff that guys would go, ‘Yeah, I want to go see that.’
“There’s going to be a lot more focus on [action], and the fight scene will have more emphasis on it. I definitely think it will be a little more guy-friendly.”
Reality star Audrina Patridge has filed for a restraining order against an alleged stalker she fears is a threat to her life.
The Hills beauty tells how 6ft 4in stranger Zachory Loring turned up at her house and handed her photos, cards, poems and drawings – including one depicting a woman being strangled.
Loring is said to have claimed he was there to deliver wine and urged Audrina to drink a beer he said was from his family’s brewery.
Audrina says the postcards were dated September 15 – almost three weeks into the future – and fears she could be “harmed or injured” on that date.
She called police after Loring came to her house for a third time wearing a suit and tie within days of his first visit.
The TV starlet says she has surveillance tape from his second visit showing he had been there for seven hours and was “seen talking to himself”.
Loring tried to approach her even after police turned up, but he was arrested for trespassing and outstanding warrants. Loring was released from custody the next day on $15,000 bail.
Audrina told authorities she’s in “great fear” of returning to her home because she believes she is being “stalked.”
She also wants a restraining order to protect her brother, Mark, who lives with her.
Court papers also show Loring was arrested in July for possession of a knife, as well as defacing an electrical box in LA.

Kardashian’s show will follow her friends and PR gurus Jonathan Cheban and Simon Huck, of Command Public Relations. “Every week we’ll have a different celebrity and a different crisis and drama,” she says. “The great thing about Jonathan and Simon is that they focus on corporate PR and building brands – they don’t represent any individuals, so they see the bigger picture. They see how to make a celebrity into a brand. I’ve seen so many things go so close to going wrong, and then they fix everything.”
Kardashian called the project the next step in her career. She said: “I’ve always wanted to get into producing. After my reality TV show is done, the next step is producing.”
