A person with knowledge of the situation says Los Angeles officials are holding closed-door talks about a possible event for Michael Jackson on Tuesday at a downtown arena. The person, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly, said the event would take place at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers. It wasn’t immediately clear if a funeral or a public memorial was being discussed for the entertainer — or both.

All of this for a man accused multiple time of inappropriate acts with a minor. Regardless of what may or may not have happened with Jackson, experts agreed that children should not be sleeping in the bed with unrelated adults, as the pop star has admitted he’s often done, saying there was nothing sexual about it. Borack said, “It just opens the door for misunderstandings at best.

PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad »

I will start by saying this - I LOVE MEAT. I eat it all of the time and have NO PROBLEM at all with eating meat. That being said this is a great ad that was banned by NBC and will not be shown on today’s Super Bowl broadcast.

PLEASE NOTE that this article will be a work in progress until midnight on December 31. I will be adding to it each day. Please check back daily for more updates!

  2. Saturday Night Live: Any Sarah Palin or Keith Olbermann parody. Ben Affleck’s Olbermann was (more…)

Integrity, Honesty, and A Big Bank Account »

Would you have done the same thing? Would you have been as honest? Would would decision been different if you were already wealthy or if you were living check to check?

You may have heard the story this past week about golfer J.P. Hayes. During a PGA Tour qualifying tournament last week Hayes voluntarily turned himself in for 2 separate rule infractions. This incredible honesty not only disqualified him from the tournament but also for a full time spot on the 2009 PGA Tour and potentially millions of dollars. NO ONE saw the rules infraction happen and NO ONE would have ever known if Hayes had not said anything. It is an incredible story.

In a nutshell and without getting all technical on the PGA golf rules, Hayes broke two different rules. First on the 12th hole he accidentally used a different model ball for two shots then he had used for the rest of the round. No one saw this. Once Hayes realized this rule infraction he voluntarily told officials and was penalized 2 shots for the error.

You would think this would be the end of the story and Hayes just received a two shot penalty and we all move on. BUT it did not end there. HOURS LATER (more…)
