Here’s the Scoop….
Boy the past week has been filled with nooz of celebrity passings.
And today is no different… there have been two more:
Gale Storm… Gale’s chirpy, upbeat charm made her a leading
TV star on two 1950s sitcoms, “My Little Margie” and “The Gale
Storm Show,” died June 27 at a convalescent hospital in Danville,
CA. No cause of death was reported. She was 87.
Fred Travalena… Known as the man of 1,000 voices and faces,
and as one of the top impressionists in the world has passed
away after a seven year battle with cancer.
Fred passed away Sunday due to a recurrence of an aggressive
form of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 66.
And of course Billy Mays, the ultimate TV pitchman. He was
only 50.
RIP to all of them.
Best,
Anisa

Michael Jackson’s Final Rehearsal To Air?…
The final rehearsal for Michael Jackson’s planned concert
tour will likely be broadcast internationally.
A source at Anschutz Entertainment Group, the Los Angeles-
based concert promotion and touring company that was staging
Jackson’s comeback.
It was not immediately clear whether the company intends to
distribute the rehearsal performance to theaters or whether
it is planning a television special.
According to the reports, the rehearsal was shot with multiple
“state-of-the-art” cameras (presumably meaning high-definition
equipment) and the audio was captured in SurroundSound.
Besides Jackson, the material also included performances by
dancers, musicians and aerial performers.
Illusionist Ed Alonzo told USA Today “It was incredible.
His moves were dead-on — the same Michael Jackson we [saw]
through the years in music videos. … Every song he was doing
was not just singing, but surrounded by huge production,
gigantic spiders and 20-foot puppets. I feel I was so blessed
to see the only performance of this concert.”
The rehearsal was reportedly taped at the Staples Center in Los
Angeles on June 24, the day before Jackson’s death. The AEG
source said that the video could also be released as a DVD and
the audio, as a live CD. “We have a live album in the can,” an
AEG official boasted.

Hayden Panettiere Gets Naked In New Movie…
‘Heroes’ pin-up Hayden Panettiere is about to shock her fans
after revealing she’s totally naked in her new film.
Hayden insists there were no body doubles used or tan body
stockings in place on the set of ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’…
that’s all her on the big screen.
The 18 year says, “I was really naked. I had these little
sticky petals on my boobs, but that was about it.”
Hayden adder her parents will have no trouble with her naked
scenes in the coming-of-age movie, which opens July 10th saying,
“My dad calls me such an exhibitionist. He always says, ‘God,
even when you were little, you were such an exhibitionist!’”

John Landis To Continue Fighting For ‘Thriller’ Revenue…
Moviemaker John Landis is refusing to let Michael Jackson’s
death stop his bid to gain back royalties he claims he’s owed
for his work on the ‘Thriller’ video.
Landis, who directed the video and co-wrote the epic promo’s
script, filed suit against Jackson in January (09), claiming
he’s owed cash for Thriller’s spin-offs.
In his suit, he alleges he has a deal in place with the superstar,
which entitles him to 50 per cent of the net profits from the
video and related material.
The lawsuit was filed after reports suggested Jackson had sold the
rights to the promo to executives at the Nederlander Organization,
who plan to turn ‘Thriller’ into a Broadway spectacular.
In a statement released at the end of January, a spokesman for
Nederlander said, “We’re confident that these past differences
can be worked out.”
But Landis insists he’s still fighting for unpaid profits from the
video and a making-of documentary.
He said, “Despite Michael’s tragic death, the Thriller lawsuit
continues.”
Landis was one of the first celebrities to pay tribute to Jackson,
he said, “He (Jackson) had a troubled and complicated life and,
despite his gift, he remains a tragic figure… I will always have
great affection for him.”

Evander Holyfield’s Georgia Home Facing…
Former boxing champion Evander Holyfield is facing foreclosure
on his Georgia mansion, according to a new report.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution claims the Evander’s 109-room
estate in Fayette County is due to be auctioned off on July 7th
after he defaulted on a $10 million loan used to help pay for
the lavish property.
The home, which boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool, bowling
alley and movie theatre, costs more than $1 million a year to
maintain – but Holyfield is refusing to sell off the pad.
His former accountant Sam Gainer says, “To attack that house in
any way, or suggest he get rid of it… that’s just not going
to fly (not an option) with him. That’s his trophy, his symbol
of success.”
It’s the second of Holyfield’s homes to face the auction block…
another Fayette property is also under foreclosure with debts
on that house amounting to $216,000

The star who has threatened to call on President Obama for help
if his hit show is ever axed, after discovering the Pres is a
huge fan?
It’s Jerry Ferrara… Jerry, who plays Turtle on ‘Entourage’, was
stunned to discover Obama enjoys watching the series during down-
time at the White House, and has vowed to use him if TV bosses
ever consider wielding the axe.
The 32 year old says, “I heard he’s a fan. So, HBO, if you’re
thinking of canceling ‘Entourage’, President Obama will disagree.”
