The death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.

Los Angeles Police Department homicide and robbery division detectives attended the scene as a matter of routine in high profile death cases.[152] The case was transferred to the Los Angeles coroner for investigation as there was no doctor in attendance to sign the death certificate.[147] Jackson's body was transported by helicopter from UCLA to the LA Coroners offices in Boyle Heights [153][154] The autopsy is said to be scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2009.[151]On June 25, 2009, Jackson reportedly collapsed at a rented home i Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. After he collapsed, Jackson's personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate him.[147] Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a 911 call at 12:21 pm (PST)[148] and arrived nine minutes later. Jackson was reportedly not breathing and CPR was quickly performed.[149] Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center and after arrival at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC), for a further hour. [147] He fell into a coma and died shortly after arrival.[150] The cause of death is as yet unknown, but he was noted to be already i cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended him.[149] Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC).[151]

Prior to his death, Jackson had been scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009 to March 6, 2010. During a publicity press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.[155] Randy Phillips, president and chief executive of AEG Live, had stated that the first 10 dates alone would have earned the singer approximately £50 million (about $100 million USD).[156]

Megan Fox IS a MAN!

|

LOS ANGELES, CA – The internet has been abuzz since this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Megan Fox jokingly remarked that she looked like a man.

When interviewed on the red carpet, she said “I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.”

At the time, reporters passed it off as a jovial attempt to cover for her nerves.

However, today she has cleared the air and officially reported: she’s really a man.

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

By the age of 13, Mitchell had already started a career as a female child performer called ‘Megan Fox’. Making her debut on an Olsen Twins straight-to-video release, the twins have kept his secret all this time.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

Since then Megan has been working non-stop, and been included on many Hottest Women lists in publications around the world.

Megan, as she goes by now exclusively, also noted this Sunday how much she wants Salma Hayek’s figure. She has even scheduled surgery later this month to get it. After the two met in New York this week, Hayek offered to have a cast made of her bust so doctors can match them exactly on Megan Fox’s chest.

The internet is already speculating whether this news will be worked into the plot of the upcoming Transformers sequel.

P/S: Holy shyt! Who can actually prove it? I can't, can't believe it! She (or he...) is so perfect! Even though the picture shows a photoshopped 5-o'clock-shades and Adam's apple...


P.P.S : Dear readers, this is simply a copy-paste interesting article that was speculating around the internet. I did not create the rumours whatsoever. It is entirely up to you to believe it (or not). Since it's a piece of entertainment news, no harm reading. Readers' discretion advised.

End of the World?

Mars has been orbiting in our Solar System uncomfortably close to our planet Earth. Scientists predicted a collision between these two planets in 3 billion years time.

Literally, it might be the end of the world!

Meantime, the scientists are more worried about asteroids hitting the Earth causing the same scenario which wiped out the dinosaurs.

Flight 447 Update

More bodies found near Air France crash site

By Fernando Exman and Tim Hepher

RECIFE, Brazil/PARIS (Reuters) - Search crews retrieved four more bodies from a crashed Air France jet on Sunday, spotted other corpses and found a large amount of debris from the plane that plunged into the Atlantic ocean.

Six bodies have now been recovered from the plane, following the discovery of two unidentified males on Saturday, five days after the Airbus A330 crashed on its way from Rio de Janeiro to Paris killing all 228 people on board.

Investigators are considering the possibility that the speed sensors on Flight 447 may have iced up, and Air France said late on Saturday it was accelerating the replacement of speed sensors on all its Airbus long-haul planes.

Brazil's navy said on Sunday it had retrieved three more bodies and France said a helicopter operating from one of its naval frigates had recovered another body from the world's worst air disaster since 2001.

"Hundreds of items are being found and being stored until we know where they should go," Brazilian Air Force spokesman Henry Munhoz told reporters in the northeastern city of Recife, where the bodies and debris will eventually be brought.

Several other corpses spotted on Sunday by Brazilian Air Force planes are expected to be picked up later in the day, search officials said.

Brazilian network Globo reported on its website that a refrigerated truck used to store corpses was waiting on the islands of Fernando de Noronha, 230 miles off the coast of Brazil.

Twelve Brazilian planes, one equipped with radar equipment that can detect material in the water, two French planes, one French ship and five Brazilian navy ships are searching the area about 680 miles northeast of Brazil's coast.

SUBMARINE TO JOIN SEARCH

France has also sent a nuclear-powered submarine that should arrive on Wednesday to search for the black box flight data recorders that will be crucial to understanding why the modern plane fell from the sky as it passed storms on Monday.

The Emeraude is equipped with powerful sonars to help detect the black box's beacons that stay active for 30 days.

The plane's pilots may have set the aircraft at a dangerous speed because they were relying on faulty speed readings, investigators believe.

Air France said it had begun the switchover of speed sensors five weeks before the crash, but only after disagreeing with Airbus over the planemaker's proposal to carry out tests before replacing them.

An Airbus spokesman declined to comment and said it could only discuss the investigation with French air authorities.

The head of France's air accident agency BEA said on Saturday it was too soon to say if problems with the speed sensors, known as pitot tubes, were in any way responsible. Read more...
