It’s probably taking the court too long to grant him a bigger allowance from Michael Jackson’s estate, so Joe Jackson has decided to take matters into his own hands and get his money the old-fashioned way: he’s going to sue. Joe Jackson has taken it upon himself to wrong the injustices done by a number of media outlets that actually had the gall to show pictures of his late son, Michael Jackson, being taken away on a gurney on the day of his death. Joe Jackson demands that justice be served since those images were private family matters and he wants compensations for the harm done… for his family, but probably more for himself. It would’ve probably been very difficult for Michael Jackson’s spirit to find its rest if it wasn’t for the valiant efforts of Joe Jackson.

Troubled couple Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller could be on the verge of rekindling their romance after a violent row over Christmas.

The pair – parents to twin baby boys – seem anxious to put their festive feud behind them.

The two actors reportedly had a “heart-to-heart” before jetting to California after their court appearance in Colorado.

“Charlie and Brooke stood outside on the Tarmac (in Aspen) and seemed to be deeply involved in a heart-to-heart conversation, all the while smoking cigarettes,” an eye-witness said.

“They were clearly relieved to be back in each other’s company and even shared a joke or two.”

It was the Sheens’ first private contact since Charlie’s Christmas arrest for domestic violence.

Until their secret rendezvous, the couple had communicated through lawyers.

They had hugged in court as the judge modified a protective order allowing the Hot Shots star and his wife to see each other.

Brooke’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, told reporters that they hugged again and kissed in the basement of Pitkin County Courthouse after the brief hearing.

It has also emerged that Brooke wants prosecutors to drop the case.

“I can tell you, Brooke very badly wanted to have contact with Charlie,” Galanter said.

“There are many children’s issues that she wanted to communicate with him about… they have two gorgeous beautiful babies together.

“Brooke would like this case to be over and charges dismissed so they can get on with their lives.”

Prosecutors charged the TV star with felony menacing and misdemeanour charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief. The most serious charge carries a maximum three-year prison term.

Sheen did not enter a plea on Monday and is due back in court on March 15.

Isla Fisher will marry Sasha Baron Cohen this month, according to an Australian report.

The couple asked guests to keep February 26 free in party invitations they sent out, according to a Bang Showbiz report.

No further information on the reported nuptials of Cohen, 38, and Fisher, 34, were given. The couple are believed to have booked venues in the UK. The pair have a two-year-old daughter, Olive.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Sacha and Isla are throwing a party. They have asked everyone to come in fancy dress. They haven’t told anyone it’s a wedding but that’s what we all suspect.”

The report was denied by a spokesperson for Cohen. Australian actress Fisher has converted to Judaism, which is Baron Cohen’s faith. She said earlier: “I love religions and find them fascinating and I find Judaism very beautiful. It has enriched my life enormously.”

Mischa Barton’s ex-boyfriend Luke Pritchard said he didn’t known what the “f*** was going on” during his romance with the star.

The 24-year-old Kooks frontman was dating the American actress until they split in March last year.

Pritchard, who admitted that his life was a mass of wild partying while they were dating, said to UK newspaper Metro: “Personally, I never thought I’d be that person or be perceived in that way. It just kind of happened. Things happen really quickly and then you are in certain situations but I enjoyed it.”

He added: “There was a time when I didn’t know what the f*** was going on at all. It was just the whirlwind of it all. You just end up in certain situations and it’s fun then, but sometimes you want to just pull yourself back a bit.”

Pete Wentz has confirmed that Fall Out Boy have not split up but are just “on a break”.

The 30-year-old star recently left fans worried when he posted messages on his Twitter page saying that he didn’t think he would be playing with the band again.

However, he has now said to E! online: “We’re just on a break. I think that after having Bronx, and with my wife [Ashlee Simpson] having this much of a workload right now, it has been such a good thing for me.

“There’s nothing I wanna be better at in the world than being a dad.”

Well, it sure didn’t take her long to realize what to do with all of that stuff she has gathered. It seems Lindsay Lohan has decided that she has to sell all her junk if she ever hopes to move forward emotionally. This is what her mother said on the matter: “Lindsay’s growing up and she’s been through a lot. She’s trying to move forward. We’re donating a lot of it to charity. Some of it will go on our Web site lohanhouse.com. It’s not just stuff that she bought. A lot if it is gifted so it’s not necessarily stuff she buys. Like, a company will send five pairs of jeans. So we’re going to donate items like that.” Right… that might add a bit more value to what Lindsay Lohan is trying to sell. And afterwards she can go ahead and use that money for her charities, like starlets without yachts and so forth.

Although Fall Out Boy formally announced a hiatus last summer, it appears that it could be the end of the band for good. Bassist Pete Wentz recently posted a message on his website saying “As much as i don’t have a solo project, i also can’t predict that i’d ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart. in this statement id like to include there is the possibility that fob will play again with out me or i will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. it is no ones fault and there is no animosity about the decision.” Lead singer Patrick Stump seems to think the same thing as he said “I’m not in Fall Out Boy right now, but one way or another, the band will always be around. Steven Tyler isn’t in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith. Whether we play again or not, I don’t know. If we do, it will be for the right reasons. If we don’t, it will also be for the right reasons.”

American Idol hopeful General Larry Platt just took in-flight entertainment to the next level as the wannabe singer recently busted out and impromptu performance of ‘Pants on the Ground’ during a flight from LA to Atlanta the morning after the Grammys. Apparently, passengers recognized the General and then begged him to do it. Larry performed the song in the aisle in coach. He was even the last person to get off the plane because the pilots and flight attendants wanted to meet him. He’s such a cool guy really. He most definitely beats William Hung’s popularity by miles! Heck, he might even get better recognition than the other Idol rejects.

Pamela Anderson has signed up to appear on Dancing With The Stars, according to US reports.

The one-time Baywatch babe will appear on the upcoming series of the show, a source close to the star has revealed.

In a move likely to boost male viewing figures, Anderson, 42, and the show have agreed to all terms for a deal and the deal is done, the source said.

“Pam is thrilled and so is the show,” the mole said.

Donny Osmond was crowned champion on the previous season of the popular program, which has also featured Heather Mills, Kelly Osbourne and Jerry Springer.

“She really wanted to do the show and the show thought it was a great idea,” the source said.

It seems that the front man from The Foo Fighters was really marked by the fact that he became a father… and this is apparently reflected in his work too. David Grohl explained the monumental change: “It’s changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting. I used to tour nine months out of the year. Now I don’t like being away from my kids for more than 12 days.” At least David Grohl is one of those so few that write music out of sentiment and not sales figures. And it’s not so uncommon that having kids makes you have less time for other stuff… that part’s pretty clear, nothing extraordinary there.

Lily Allen can’t seem to make it through a performance or even a solid 24 hours before falling face down. After performing a set at Australia’s Big Day Out Festival this past weekend, the singer tumbled to the ground on the way to her car. Sources say that Lily was her usual drunken self while performing. Later, when she left and hit the ground, the same source says that her people had to recover from laughing before they helped her up again. I guess it’s just another day at work for those guys. Witnesses say that Lily didn’t look injured but that she did require some assistance getting into the car.

These are the latest and rather unusual rumors from the Aerosmith camp. It seems that Billy Idol was supposed to meet up with Joe Perry but couldn’t go through with it because of health issues. The general idea is that Billy Idol might be the sought-after replacement for Steven Tyler in Aerosmith. A source said the following about the singer’s meeting with Joe Perry: “Joe said he wanted to talk to Billy about joining Aerosmith, because the band were having problems with Steven. As far as I know Idol did not show up due to having a cold.” It’s not that Steven Tyler’s shoes don’t fit Billy Idol… it’s just that they’re probably not something he would wear. Ah, the cold, such a classic excuse for avoiding things.

Julia Roberts is handing out X-rated advice for women to keep their men happy on Valentine’s Day.

The Oscar-winning actress joked that women should “take your top off”, during a press conference for her new romantic movie.

Roberts was on a panel with eight other stars from the film including Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Shirley MacLaine, George Lopez, Topher Grace, Hector Elizondo and director Garry Marshall to promote the film Valentine’s Day.

When a woman asked for her tips on how to “make him make me happy on Valentine’s Day” Roberts made a face and at first said: “Wow. Can we at least dim the lights?”

As her co-stars laughed, Roberts then quipped: “Okay, wait a minute. How long have you been with your boyfriend? You have sex with him?”

As the embarrassed woman hesitated, Roberts said firmly: “You’re the one that brought it up. You opened Pandora’s box! Where’s the problem? We can fix this.

“Make a nice dinner reservation now, because that’s the biggest night out of the year, have a nice glass of wine, and take your top off!”
