Brooke Shields

Michael Jackson’s gold casket was covered with red flowers and was wheeled out through the 20,000-strong audience and positioned in front of the stage, as a choir sang Soon And Very Soon in an emotional scene at the Staples Center.

The ceremony got under way about 10 minutes after the scheduled 10am start time as mourners waited for the hearse carrying Jackson’s coffin to arrive from the nearby Forest Lawn Cemetery where there was a private ceremony for family.

Drama!

At the Met’s Costume Institute Gala afterparty this weekend, things got out of control.

There are conflicting reports on how or why it happened, but here’s how the story ended: Kiefer Sutherland flew into Jack Bauer-mode and head butted Jack McCollough, the co-founder of fashion line Proenza Schouler.

She fought against for as long as she could, but Brooke Shields has finally admitted the sad, cold truth: Lipstick Jungle has been cancelled.

There were rumors that the show might be salvaged for its small but loyal audience, a la Friday Night Lights, but Brooke confirmed the show’s demise to E! News saying, “It was going to stay and we just were officially told it’s finally not coming back.

This is just getting confusing.

Last week The Hollywood Reporter announced that NBC has axed both My Own Worst Enemy and Lipstick Jungle.

Keep in mind, this ain’t The Inquirer, it’s The Hollywood Reporter, they don’t get facts like that wrong.

But the show’s star, Brooke Shields, perhaps in a daze of grief over the loss of hours of shirtless Robert Buckley fun, told reports on Sunday that, like Celine Dion’s heart, the show would go on. 

Taking a cue from the stock market, last night’s Emmy Awards were in constant, violent flux. The show opened with The Almighty O, Oprah, and then plummeted into the outer rings of hell when the reality hosts took the stage armed with ... nothing. Steve Carrell and Ricky Gervais managed to jolt the show back to life but then the Desperate Housewives took the stage and used their time to prove they’re the happiest cast on TV (Dana Delany kissing Marcia Crosses forehead was Manson-style overkill).

Someone is gonna die in season two of Lipstick Jungle. The cast was seen filming a funeral scene on New York’s Upper East Side this afternoon.

We’ll bet it’s either Kim Raver’s neglectful, philandering husband, who barely survived a heart attack at the end of season one, or billionaire Joe Bennett, played by 80’s icon Andrew McCarthy.

Lindsay Price and Brooke Shields were seen hanging around the set dressed in funeral black as was our loverboy, Robert Buckley.

He looks like a Kennedy in this shot!!!

Television icon Mary Tyler Moore has joined the cast of Lipstick Jungle as Brooke Shields mother.

She and Brooke were spotted filming their first scenes together on Friday in Manhattan.

Moore rose to fame on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s and The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 1970s. She has won seven Emmys.

Throw your hat in the air, Mary!

Gwyneth Paltrow is Vogue’s May cover girl and she speaks openly about battling post-partum depression after she gave birth to her second child, Moses.

“I didn’t know I had it until after it was over. I just didn’t know what was wrong with me...I felt really out of my body. I felt really disconnected. I felt really down; I felt pessimistic.”
