cuz it does not surprise the kids that when they finally go on vacation, everyone decides that is a good week to die.

New York City’s Gay Pride Parade was bright, sunny, and faaaabbbulllous. Where was I that day? In Colorado eating some eggs and a ton of buffalo burgers. I know I know. I’ll plan my vacation to not be on Pride weekend next time. [gothamist]
Express is suing Forever 21. I don’t know who to root for in this fight. [racked]
Simon Cowell’s been offered $144 million dollars to stay on American Idol. That’s a Shaq like number, isn’t it? [ONTD]
Little Mermaid is closing August 30th and rumors are it didn’t recoup. Why? Because marketing does not make a crap expensive show any better than it really is. [ONTD]
So Michael Jackson died. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. I heard about it while walking around a little Colorado mountain town. My fiancee’s phone buzzed with a text, she told me MJ was dead, and then I noticed that everyone else in the small Colorado mountain town were receiving cell phone calls. Everyone needed to share MJ’s demise. And it seems some people are doing that literally which is heart breaking. MJ brought a little bit of joy into this world and that’s the legacy he’d like to continue I bet. Though his main legacy will be gossip bloggers posting details about how Michael Jackson isn’t the biological father to his kids (his dermatologist is), a will he wrote in 2002 leaves everything to his kids and his mom, that MJ’s mom might not be the real mom either, and that MJ’s insomina was getting so bad in the months leading up to his death that he requested deadly amounts of sedatives to make him sleep. Everyone decided to buy Michael’s albums last week and People remembered that Bubbles was still alive. This story is never going to end – kinda like how I don’t believe his title as the King of Pop will ever be rivaled. [crazy blind item lawyer & evil beet]
Farrah Fawcett died the day before Michael Jackson. It’s sad that even I think of her death in relation to when MJ died. [crazy blind item lawyer]
Billy Mays died last week too. To quote everyone else, God just bought more Oxy Clean than He knows what to do with. [the superficial]
Joy Boehar just can’t get married. She got cold feet again. [evil beet]
Obama’s new Washington DC church is the Evergreen Chapel at Camp David. [get religion]

T.R. Knight is heading to Broadway. [people]
Hayden Panettiere is getting naked in her next film. [ONTD]
Elvis Crespo promised to pose naked if People En Espanol chose him as one of their Mas Bellos and they decided to not take his threat seriously. I don’t want to see him naked. I don’t know anyone who wants to see him naked. Do you? [guanabee]
Us Weekly paid $120,000 for Kendra Wilkinson’s wedding pictures and gave her the cover for the magazine. Then Michael Jackson died. Us tried to back out of the deal but Kendra said “Uh, no”. Hopefully Us will learn it’s lesson but it probably won’t. [ONTD]
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick showed off their new twins. [faded youth]
Avenue Q is closing in September. [ONTD]
Anna Kournikova got in a fight in Vegas. That seems to be the IT thing to do in Vegas right now. I didn’t do that the last time in Vegas. That’s probably why I’m uncool. [evil beet]
I keep posting Madonna’s Louis Vuitton ads and I’m not sure why. I think one or two of you might be interested in them but I usually can’t stand them. In fact, I really can’t stand them but I can’t turn away. I need more More MORE! [faded youth]
