Looking at these pictures of Sherlyn Chopra makes me want to go watch some bellydancers. I bet this chick has some serious moves. And if I could get a private performance, that’d be worth at least a paycheck.

Normally Lady GaGa does nothing for me, but when she turns up dressed like this (and her lips look normal), if she wants me to look, I will. Don’t know if I’d hit it, but I’ll look.

What can I say? I’m an obliging guy.

I want a burger. Since Kim Kardashian is making one for me (dressed in a bikini), I’ll take one. And one of the cool Sierra Mists that she’s sure to hand me (check out the thumbnails below).

As long as Kim does it (dressed in a bikini) I’ll be happy to take it.

A devout reader of Celebrity Smack has written in with information that she says is not only accurate, but was supplied by someone who is very “in the know” about Michael Jackson’s condition when he died.

She says that stories in the press about MJ’s condition when he died have been exaggerated and that this is the truth:

I have a story from a very good reliable source and promised not to name them about MJ in the coroners office. He did not weight 112 lbs as reported in the press. He was 136+ and in good condition. He has tattoed eyebrows and lips. Was wearing a small wig. He’s a little light on hair in the back. Could that be from the pepsi commercial? Also he did not have needle marks all over him. Just 2, the IV at the hospital and one near the heart. Also he had a bandaid on his nose. He looked pretty healthy to them. Not emaciated as stated by the press.

Also they took him to FLHH (not picked up) not the other one as mentioned before. And has been there since last week. They just wanted him out of there, cause the coronor wanted the press corp to just go away it was a zoo.

Also when is helicopter brought him into the coroner. The police had to pull people off the ivy walls. They were climbing on the bldg trying to get in.

Like I have said, I have definitely made fun of MJ in the past, but I am certainly no fool when it come s to the impact that he had on the world. I believe that Michael was a victim to “quacks”…bad doctors who were “bought” in order to help sustain a terrible drug habit.

Look at Michael in the past compared to recently. I believe he became a drug addled star in the 90s and morphed into a recluse as a result. I mean, he surely is NOT the same man he was when he was in his prime. Not only physically, but emotionally. Something major shifted inside of Michael in the 90s and I think it was drugs that made him the “freak” that he became. Of course it all stems from his effed up childhood (thanks to papa Joe) but really, he was functional until the last 15 yrs or so, and I think it was the drugs that really pushed him into the sad state he was in when he died. Yes, I think the docs should pay. If only to set an example to other quacks out there. Sadly, there are A LOT of docs out there that can be bought….especially in Hollywood.

The wife of Gary Coleman, Shannon Price, was arrested on a domestic violence charge last night in  Santaquin, Utah, where the couple reside.

The two were involved in a spat when Price muscled her way around the house, breaking belongings of her husband’s.

She was booked for two misdemeanors and later on $1,205 bond. Poor Gary, the guy is 3- feet-tall and this woman is a 6-foot-tall, husky Appalachian! Bitch has second and third helpings of the grits, that’s for sure.

Look at her mug shot. There’s a whole lot of “not right” in those eyes!

Brody Jenner and girlfriend Jayde Nicole make their way out of Nobu in West Hollywood.

Why does Brody Jenner annoy the piss out of me? Any guy who molds a reality show after something Paris Hilton has already done and names it “Bromance” is a douchebag in my book.

So why did I decide to post something about this guy? Just to get away from the MJ stuff – and I felt like taking a dump on someone and since there’s no news about Brandon Davis right now, I figured Brody would do.

In today’s ‘WTF News’ Candy Vigneri, a 44-year-old Maryland woman, gave birth to a baby in a portable toilet and left the baby to die in the waste tank.

As if that wasn’t cold enough, she bummed a smoke from a construction worker and sat at a nearby picnic table, contemplating what she had just done.

When a man came along to use the restroom Candy told him, “Don’t go in there, I just had a baby in there.” Obviously freaked out, they guy called 911 immediately. This in turn caused Candy to go to the toilet and retrieve the baby from the toilet’s  foul liquid. When paramedics arrived the baby was unresponsive and covered in the blue tank agent. She told police that she didn’t know she was pregnant. (Some defense.)

She was arrested and charged with child abuse and reckless endangerment. She is being held on a $50,000 bond. The baby is now is stable condition and will be in the hands of social services after recovering.

And you thought your mom was a bitch.

Michael Jackson’s funeral date and time has been set for next Tuesday, July 7, 10 A.M. at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

Showbiz411.com is reporting that Staples Center and Nokia Theater, as well as the surrounding area, will be used for the services, which are expected to have an insane turnout, of course.

Radar.com claims that fans will be able to purchase a ticket for $25 that will allow them to sit in the stands. For those who don’t make it in, there will be huge outdoor screens showing the service inside.

Omg, think about what a circus this is going to be. Seriously. People are going to want in. And I’m betting there are going to be FAR more people than anyone expects!

Speaking of circus, the circus is in town the following day. Really. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has Staples Center booked for the following day. Apparently they had to be talked into postponing their set up. They might want to consider postponing the show by at least a day or canceling. I mean, people will be coming from all over the world. They are going to linger!

We’ll see if this all pans out or not. I’m just glad to hear they aren’t doing an open casket. I thought it odd at first when I heard they may do that. It would definitely make the funeral a circus sideshow act..with lots of snuck in cameras.

It’s going to be interesting for sure. Have fun with all that congestion, L.A., it’s going to be crazy.
