Where In The World Is Michael Jackson’s Brain?
Michael Jackson’s brain was not with his body in the golden coffin, Justin Timberlake wants to write a book about golf, Jason Bateman talks addiction, Russell Brand breaks his celibacy vow and Jason Lee fights at Max Fish.
- Justin Timberlake isn’t satisfied with singing and dancing and acting—He wants to write a book, about golf no less. We can’t wait. The proposal’s going out this week. Instant classic. [Gatecrasher]
- Where is Michael Jackson’s brain? His body was placed in his golden coffin the other day but his brain wasn’t inside? Does LaToya have Michael’s brain? Is LaToya actually Michael after all? We demand answers! [Sun]
- Jason Bateman is opening up about his addictions to drugs and alcohol when he was younger. Who knew that Jason Bateman was an addict? [Daily News]
- Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez are not being shy about their unrelenting celebrity love for each other. They were recently spotted having dinner with Bob Costas and his wife, holding hands and whispering in each other’s ears all the while. [Page Six]
- A new book on David Beckham devotes an entire chapter to the friendship between Becks and Tom Cruise, who Beckham says has influenced every major decision he’s made since 2003. [Gatecrasher]
- Rosie Perez is set to play Obama Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in a movie to be made about her life. [Gatecrasher]
- Russell Brand recently took a vow of celibacy but now he’s working in LA on a movie and he just can’t resist those frisky Hollywood women. [Mirror]
- Debbie Rowe broke down into tears after she saw Paris Jackson, who she birthed or whatever, speak at Michael Jackson’s funeral the other day (didn’t everybody?) [Daily Mail]
- Jason Lee got into a fight with some random dude at Max Fish on the Lower East Side the other night and whipped out some of his martial arts skills to defend himself. [Page Six]

@Dr. Nick:
You all have comedic Cheops.
@Awesome X: I read it as Rosie O'Donnell and was very confused.
@CaptainFantastic: I have a feeling Joe's got people on speed dial whose skill sets include digging up coffins and scraping off plating, so it could go either way.

I heart Jason Bateman with every fiber of my being. If he offered me drugs of any kind, I don't know if I could just say no.
@Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: There's gotta be a role for Mookie in here somewhere.

@rudi_freude: From this old Giza to all the pun Horus out there: RA!
Michael Jackson's brain is in the conservatory, with John Dillinger's penis.
Jackson's brain is plotting to take over the world with Hitler's brain.

@CaptainFantastic:
Perhaps it was gold leaf?

@TriedandTrue: Hi, my name is Hyperbole-- have we met?
TableNine
@TriedandTrue: I'm talking about the plating being fake.
Drives me up the wall when out with a couple and they talk all whispery through dinner or whatever setting it is that we're in. You came out to socialize. if you wanted to whisper sweet nothings to each other all night, don't go out with other people!!
oh and the brain thing.. pathologists often retain the brain for further analysis. It is eventually returned for burial, but generally the family is informed of this fact...

Everything looks normal to me in Safari.

@rudi_freude: The casket was gold so they wouldn't look like Cheopskates.
@CaptainFantastic: It was brass with gold plating

@TheUptightMidwesterner: Well to be fair, Gabriel does share those roles with Colm Meany
TriedandTrue
@Dr. Nick: I heard they had to scarab the residue out with a brillo pad. You couldn't get me to watch that if I were hie(roglyphics).
@CaptainFantastic: I have 3.0.11 and it's still condensed. Boo.
@TableNine: How about Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria or Jessica Alba?
TriedandTrue
@jenndavo: I imagine him exactly as he was in Dodgeball.
@rudi_freude: Because she is in de Nile?
@blix:
That's a detail his grieving mummy shouldn't have to know.

@resipsaloquacious: I'm not finding this font to be very readable. But since I don't have a star I'm sure no one cares about what I think. *pout*

Ha!
@VoxPopuli: "Am I peeing?"

@Awesome X: Let's not forget the ever crazier Michelle Rodriguez.

So, I get axed, then re-animated, and the damn font has changed on this site.
This place has gone to hell!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for Jason Bateman passing on any of his Hollywood experiences as warnings to Michael Cera.

@TriedandTrue: But LaToya knew everything before the others with her psychic friends network.

@SaraRueful: Aaaaaaand the star is gone. Oh well, it was good while it lasted, baby.

@VoxPopuli: I dunno, at least J.Lo's voice (even while singing!) doesn't make my eardrums bleed.
I really, really can't stand Rosie Perez.
SaraRueful
"Abby...Normal."
z00L
You forgot Jennifer Lopez, that girl from Spanglish and Diego Luna.
@jenndavo: Him?
I know Rosie probably needs the work these days, but she really should have turned down the role of Sotomayor as a favor to Boricuas everywhere.
But then the directors would have just called J-Lo, so I guess it doesn't matter.
@TriedandTrue: She's always been the brains of the outfit.
Does anyone else wonder if MJ's casket contains any real gold? I don't think Papa Jackson would bury anything that still has worth to him.
@Dr. Nick: To preserve the face they removed the brain via his sphinxter.
@badasscat: All looks normal to me on Firefox 3.0.11.
The idea of Jason Bateman on drugs is oddly endearing.
jenndavo
@Dr. Nick: Was that before or after they removed his Nefertitis?
TableNine
@TableNine: I wanted to challenge you by listing a slew of famous Hollywood latinas, but I'm afraid you my be right. Penelope Cruz instantly came to mind, but then everyone else that I could come up with aren't Latin. Well played.
Honestly? Rosie Perez is the only Puerto Rican in Hollywood?
That is like saying all the angsty Irishman roles only go to Gabriel Byrne.. oh wait. never mind.
My guess is they'll pull the ole switcheroo with that gold box and bury him in regular old pine. But that sheds no light on the brain puzzle.
kneetoe
@badasscat: Ditto. I haz a confuzzel.
@Aaron Altman: they had to Rameses needles up his nose to get his brain out.
@Awesome X: I nearly spit on my monitor until I realized there are only 4 latinas in Hollywood. I guess Salma Hayek and Rosario Dawson were busy with other projects, but surely the maid from Will and Grace was available?
TableNine
RE: Wass Stephens ... yeah, so what's the crime?
"Rosie Perez is set to play Obama Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in a movie to be made about her life. [Gatecrasher]"
I said this when they announced Sotomayor's nomination. There's a casting director somewhere that either owes me a finder's fee or a job.

Michael Jackson's brain is on Frankenstein's shelf, marked 'ABnormal'.

@blix: I'd like Tutank you for my Hamen whole wheat sandwich.
Michael Jackson's brain is on a shelf next to Albert Einstein's brain.

@rudi_freude: The pyramid's plumbing is clogged. I know because in college I was a Pharoah faucet major.
I am confused as to why it seems like the family gave LaToya the responsibility of organizing his entire funeral. She was the person that supplied the information for his death certificate. She has picked out the outfit he is to be buried in. Seems like a lot of responsibility for such a ding bat
TriedandTrue
wtf happened to my expanded view? The "display" pulldown is now a list of sites. And my homepage has been hit with the ugly and confusing stick.
I'm pretty sure there's already been a king lying in his golden coffin, preserved for the ages, albeit missing his brain.
Oh.
Tut, tut.
rudi_freude
A Princeton and Yale educated federal judge? It's the wole Wosie Pewez was born to pway!!!
Rosie Perez as Sotomayor? Uh. So, will Wesley Snipes be Thomas? Woody Harrelson as Souter?
Awesome X
It has been running Bing for weeks now all by it's lonesome.
That's why he looked so exhausted, up all night, doing Google searches and pasting them into Bing to make sure it ranked pages right.
I mean, we all owe such a debt of gratitude to the aging, has-been, child-loving, white dwarf superstar.
So Ballmer probably has MJ's brain in a jar right now until he can figure out how to run a "cloud".
Please! More interesting tech is coming out of Iran now than Redmond.
