Jackson Memorial Service planned

A public and private Memorial Service has been planned for Michael Jackson at his Neverland Ranch. Friday fans can pay tribute to the late Michael Jackson at the ranch, and there is a private memorial planned for Sunday.
As far a where he will be buried that is still a mystery however the mayor of Gary Indiana (Jacksons' birthplace) has been lobbying pretty hard for bringing Michael home. Of course it is only fitting to go back to your hometown, however it sounds like he is pretty excited only because if Michael is buried there it would put Gary, Indiana back on the map with a very popular tourist attraction. The mayor already thought that the perfect place for his grave would be right next to a proposed Jackson Family Museum and Preforming Arts Center... Hmmm handy location. As of Tuesday no confirmation has been made on that idea.

Katherine Heigl Will Return to Grey's


After a shocking season finale on Greys Anatomy leaving us all in limbo on whether or not Dr. Izzy would survive, we now have an answer. Katherine Heigl will return for the next season of Greys, at this point it is not known how much of the season she will be a part of but at least she is back. On a sad note T.R. Knight (Dr George O'Malley) will not be returning this season. If we keep losing people from the original cast I just don't think it could posibly be near as good of a story as it used to be... But I guess we'll just have to see.

Money Going Right Down The Drain

Could you imagine going to the mail box expecting the same usual bills and finding out that one of your bills jumped about 4000% since last month!! As if that wouldn't set you into a panic... now imagine being 99 years old and that bill being your water bill.

That is exactly what happened to Jeanette Cohen of Washington, she opened her water bill (which is usually only about $30) she saw that her balance due was $1181! Her water usage went from 3000 gallons a month to a whopping 140000 gallons. After calling the water company and plumbers to have her bill corrected she was told she will have to fight to get it corrected and is going to a hearing at the end of the month.

How crazy is that!!!

Brett Michaels Injured at the Tonys

TMZ.com got a hold of the pics of Poison frontman Brett Michaels injuries that he suffered, after running face first into a stage prop at the Tony Awards. Adding insult to injury, Michaels is mad that the Tony people didn't show concern, he apparently thinks that if he was someone like Liza Minnelli or Dolly Parton they would have issued a statement of concern... I guess three seasons of VH1 Rock of Love celebreality TV doesn't put him on the same level.

What would you do with $232 million?


The winner of the biggest undivided lottery jackpot has finally come forward. This happy young cowboy was the lucky one to win the prize, his name is Neal Wanless a 23 year old from South Dakota. The jackpot couldn't go to a more deserving guy, he lives with his mom and dad trying to run a successful ranch. It turns out this couldn't come at a better time, their house was just repossessed, and they have falled behind on their propery taxes.
After taxes are taken this prize will go from $232 million to a mere $88.5 million, I think he may still be able to buy himself a new place to live with that.
Neal sounds like a good kid who was just trying to make ends meet, and can now do that. It's nice to see this go to someone who could really use it.
