The late pop legend’s family is absolutely appalled with the singer’s father due to the fact that the man seems to have taken the opportunity to promote his record label, Ranch Records, at the BET Awards Tribute to Michael Jackson. It seems that Joe Jackson said the following when a CNN presenter asked Katherine Jackson how she and the rest of the family were coping with Michael Jackson’s death: “They are all doing fine. But I wanted to make this statement. This is a real good statement here! Marshall and me own a record label called Ranch Records.” Well, a good business man always knows a good opportunity when he sees one… and does not hesitate to take advantage of it.
It seems that the singer has recently been diagnosed with malnutrition… which explains her appearance as of late. Speaking about her diagnosis, Courtney Love said: “The doctor gave me a massive shot of vitamins and told me to start eating. Seriously, I want to get fatter. You know, when I was 192lbs I thought I looked hot. I’m serious about putting on weight - I want to get curvy. I know I’ve got too skinny. I want to sort it out.” Hopefully that Kurt Cobain “inheritance” will come in soon because it seems that Courtney Love really needs it right now. Even though a bit of starvation might be a mark of punk, she should keep it on the level.
The singer turned actress has apparently been negotiating with Ryan Seacrest regarding staring in a new reality show. The show hasn’t got a name yet, but it’s going to be about Lindsay Lohan running around and giving disadvantaged people one million dollars to change their lives. Ryan Seacrest wrote the following on twitter about the new project: “Met with Lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her. It helps people and gives others a second shot! Still putting it all together.” Lindsay Lohan also has something to say about it on twitter: “Working on a really great project for television — I am excited! Something meaningful like Extreme Home Makeover on ABC. :)” Right… who better to offer hope to the hopeless than Lindsay Lohan, right? Especially with the recent end of her would-be marriage, this would be the perfect thing to get her going again.
Green Day has just premiered the video for their new single, “21 Guns,” exclusively on MySpace Music. The video was helmed by noted director Marc Webb, who has lensed clips for such artists as My Chemical Romance, Weezer, and All-American Rejects, and is making his feature film directorial debut in July with (500) Days of Summer.
“21 Guns” is the second single from the band’s latest album 21st Century Breakdown, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts, fueled by the Alternative radio No. 1 single “Know Your Enemy.” 21st Century Breakdown, which Rolling Stone has called “a rock opera in which the rock always comes first,” also topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
Over the past month, Green Day has continued to work with MySpace Music for the promotion of 21st Century Breakdown. During the week of the album’s release, they played an exclusive concert in New York City which was filmed for the site’s premiere online concert program, The List. The performance can now be seen on The List’s official MySpace profile.
This year’s show will take place at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 9th, and air the next day, Monday, August 10th, on FOX at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Fans can vote for Green Day at http://www.teenchoiceawards.com/.

Black Eyed Peas ‘The E.N.D.’ Lands At #1 On The Billboard 200 Chart
Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D.” bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 304,000 — the hip-pop act’s best sales week ever. It’s also the first No. 1 album for the group, which had previously gone as high as No. 2. Its last set, 2005’s “Monkey Business,” bowed in the runner-up slot with a then-best 291,000. It had the unfortunate luck to come out the same week as Coldplay’s “X&Y,” which kept the Peas’ at bay when it started at No. 1 with 737,000. -via Billboard.com

Female racing driver Danica Patrick has been showing off her curves in a new Got Milk? advert.
The 27-year-old IndyCar driver is the latest celebrity to sign up for the campaign that encourages people to drink more milk.
“Refuel. How do I stay on track?” Patrick says in the ad.
“Milk, it’s a great choice after exercise, with protein to help build muscle and a unique mix of nutrients to refuel.
“So train hard and drink low-fat or fat-free milk. Talk about a strong finish.”

Lauren Conrad thinks she’s “good for a little bit” when it comes to the plastic surgeon’s knife and botox needle.
The former star of MTV show The Hills, who was launching a book entitled LA Candy, said she prefers a flat-chested look that allows more clothes to fit.
Conrad said: “Big boobs? That’s what Wonder Bras are for! I prefer a flatter-chested look. I think it’s more of a fashion look. If you look at a lot of high fashion models, they’re always a little flatter … I like the way clothes fit better.”
When the 23-year-old was asked about botox, she said: “I think that I’m good for a little bit. I don’t know, maybe later on.”
Conrad also said The Hills had changed. “I said I would do [The Hills] for as long as I was happy, and I wasn’t happy doing it any more …. We all grew apart. It wasn’t really a show about a group of friends anymore. It was a show about a cast.
Jessica Alba is reportedly off the hook after plastering shark posters in Oklahoma City earlier this month.
The Fantastic Four star will not be charged after earlier reports that she might face a vandalism prosecution for postering on behalf of an LA-based campaign to protect the great white shark.
Police sergeant Gary Knight said: “The decision has been made to close the case … The case will not be presented to the district attorney’s office.”
Photos of Alba postering at locations including a billboard for the United Way charity were leaked onto the internet. Alba was in Oklahoma to work on an independent film, The Killer Inside Me.
Alba issued a public apology for the incident and the property owners involved in the case decided not to press charges, it was reported.
