Or something? Remember when Katherine Jackson disappeared for a few days and her grandkids panicked and reported her missing? Well, apparently it was all a dastardly caper!!! Even though Jackson originally claimed that her absence was a completely voluntary “short vacation,” she’s now saying that some yahoo with a stethoscope showed up at her house and told her to get on a plane to Arizona. And so she did. In a sworn statement, Jackson claims:
She was scheduled to go on a road trip to New Mexico to watch her sons in concert — but on July 14th, an unnamed doctor showed up to her house and told her it was better for her to take a plane instead.
Katherine says she obliged — believing the doctor was under the orders of her longtime physician — but when she got off the plane … she found herself in Tucson, where she had been set up at a luxury resort.
According to her lawyer, “Her children took her to a spa … because she had high blood pressure.” …In her declaration, Katherine never specifies who sent the doctor to her house, or who accompanied her to the spa.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, “NEWS STORY.” I’m glad everybody is okay and everything, but Jesus Christ, Jacksons. The more weird shit you pull, the more I wish Michael could have left Paris, Prince, and Blanket a new family in his gold-plated crazybrains will. [TMZ]
Uhhhhh, apparently
Drake is going to produce a new posthumous
Aaliyah album, which, like all posthumous albums, is totally weird because Aaliyah
does not exist: “Drake’s love for the late singer is well known within the hip-hop community. He’s sampled her voice on his debut album
Thank Me Later, wrote an open letter to her, and we all remember when that photo of his Aaliyah back tattoo leaked.” In related news, if your back tattoo has been leaking for four hours or more, and you start to feel that you can communicate with long-dead R&B ghosts, seek medical attention. [

Today in queasy-making custody battles,
Usher‘s ex
Tameka Raymond claims he’s only pretending to care about her dead son for the publicity:
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Tameka states that Usher’s “stress and strain” is “bogus” and that he simply wants sympathy from the media and fans.
“[Usher] visited Kile in the hospital only once” during his 15 days on life support, Tameka claims.
She also says he refused to tweet a message asking fans to “pray for Kile” and didn’t attend Kile’s funeral.
Ugh. Could you guys figure this shit out? This whole thing is giving me woe-hives. [DigitalSpy]
Breaking Bad‘s
Aaron Paul says he learned how to play a meth user from watching his ex-girlfriend spiral into addiction: “It went from coke and then it escalated to meth. Meth is the one that grabbed, like, nails-deep into her soul and slowly just ripped it out. She was this beautiful being, turned to this hollow shell.” Frowny-face. Then he said some weird dumb shit about Advil: “If I go to the dentist, I’ll get an eighth. I am against pills. I don’t even take Advil. I think pot 100 per cent should be legalised.” ‘Kay. [
