Michael Jackson's Kids 'Talk About Him All the Time'

Michael Jackson's children Prince Michael I, 14, Paris, 12, and nine-year-old Prince Michael II are always asking his family to tell them more about their superstar father, who passed away in June 2009.

Michael’s brother, Jackie Jackson, told People.com: “They are around their father 24 hours a day. They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me for stories about him. They want to know more about him.”

Prince Michael was even pictured wearing a shirt with Michael’s family band, Jackson 5, on it at a recent Los Angeles Lakers basketball game he attended with Jackie.

Jackie also joked that Michael’s children have a very different upbringing to his own, as the Jackson 5 -- who were managed by their father Joe Jackson -- were a touring act from a very young age,

He joked: "I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts.’ ”

Since Michael’s death, his estate has earned some $310 million through record sales, various merchandising deals, royalty payments and concert film This Is It.

The sum has helped ease the late star’s financial difficulties, which saw the King of Pop reportedly owe around $400 million to various creditors at the time of his death.

Jennifer Aniston Chops Off Her Hair!

That famous "Rachel" cut is no longer...at least for now. Jennifer Aniston has chopped off her trademark locks and looked like she was delighted with the change in Madrid on Tuesday.

The actress showed off her new chin-length bob as she smiled with costars Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker at a photo call for their new movie, Just Go With It, but still wore her regular fashion staples (long necklaces, gold watch, slim tank top.)

Although her Friends character's hair was her ongoing claim to fame -- with many people asking stylists for "The Rachel" cut -- the actress never got that excited over the 'do.

"How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," Aniston told Allure. "What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?"

Carrie Underwood Banned from Radio Show Thanks to Mike Fisher

Carrie Underwood is taking the heat after her husband Mike Fisher made the move from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators.

Ottawa station Kiss 105.3 FM issued a tongue-in-cheek ban of the country singer's hits from their playlist, writing in a statement: “We know Mike Fisher is not to blame for this trade but feel he was lured away from Ottawa by a country-music superstar. Sure, she’s pretty. Yes, she can sing. But can she play hockey? Can she put one on the top shelf with a slap shot? No!”

Other Ottawa media outlets are similarly outraged. One compared Underwood to John Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono.

Fisher, meanwhile, is playing defense for his wife. "I heard about it right away and Carrie heard about it and she was extremely disappointed and frustrated," said Fisher to Vancouver Sun. "I think they meant it as a joke that really wasn't funny."

Look of the Day: Rachel Bilson in Burberry Prorsum

Puffer jackets have a reputation of being frumpy—warm, but frumpy. At the Burberry Prorsum show during London fashion week, Rachel Bilson proved there is hope for the lowly puffer.

As she sat front row and posed for photogs, Rachel looked stunning in a head-to-toe Burberry ensemble. She wore a charcoal tweed dress, with leather accents and a daring cutout back, paired with ankle strap booties and topped off with a big puffy coat with a flared waist. The sharp leather detailing on the coat's collar and sleeves, as well as its unique shape, contributed to its refined and edgy appearance.

A bright red envelope clutch, edgy ponytail and minimal makeup finished off her look for an altogether chic ensemble. What do you think of Rachel's look?

Report: Rihanna's Been Sexy Texting with Colin Farrell

Rihanna is currently single following her split from baseball star Matt Kemp in December, so she's been free to bombard another A-lister with romantic text messages: Colin Farrell! They met on British TV host Graham Norton's talk show shortly before Christmas.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Colin was taken aback by some of the texts. He thinks he might well be in there. They're both single, so why not?"

On the show, the 34-year-old star admitted that he couldn't take his mind off the Bajan beauty's skimpy dress, which left only her "limbs" on show.

He said: "They are very nice limbs. There's probably a reason I mentioned them, I had to get them off my mind."

Colin -- who has a 16-month-old son Henry with actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus and seven-year-old James with model Kim Bordenave -- is now reportedly planning to meet up with Rihanna, 23, in Los Angeles whenever their hectic schedules allow.

Rihanna recently admitted she wanted to move on from her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown -- who was convicted of assaulting her in February 2009 -- and finds it "annoying" that people won't stop asking her about the incident.

She tweeted: "People won't stop askin abt it! Its f**kin annoying! Nobody wants to relive that, but some ppl can't respect that!

"I get it, they wanna raise awareness to young girls! But it ends up just makin me look bitter, pitiful, spiteful and angry!"

Michael Lohan to Perform Interventions at Rehab Facility

Michael Lohan recently flew to the Inspirations for Youth and Families clinic in Florida to work alongside people living at the facility and also film a commercial to promote it.

He told website RadarOnline.com: “I'm going to be doing interventions. Lindsay is 100 percent behind what I'm doing and I look forward to this entire journey not only with my family but with the Inspiration youth program as well."

Michael attempted to stage an “intervention” on Lindsay last April, flying to Los Angeles in a bid to get her to enter rehab, after he believed she was addicted to prescription drugs. His actions prompted an angry reaction from Lindsay, who referred to him as her “ex dad” and accused him of ruining his own brain with drugs.

However, the pair later reconciled their differences, and Michael recently spoke of how proud he is of Lindsay for finally facing up to her substance abuse problem.

He said: "We went to an AA meeting last night then went home and had a quiet night.

"She changed back to the girl she used to be. When she was at her best -- literally. She's done a 180 and I'm very proud of her."

Camille Grammer To Cover Oscar Fashion for CNN

Oscar night is almost here, and last-minute details for one of the biggest nights in Hollywood are falling into place. For instance: Camille Grammer has just been hired by CNN to cover Academy Awards fashion on the red carpet!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will be a commentator for the network's Showbiz Tonight: Road Gold live special on Sunday, reports PopEater. She'll have a mic and so will the regular Showbiz Tonight correspondents, AJ Hammer and Brooke Anderson.

"We can't wait to get Camille's unabashed take on Hollywood's biggest night," said a CNN exec.

Camille's been through some tough times over the last few months (her quickie divorce from Kelsey Grammer has been full of drama and so has her time as a reality star), but things seem to be turning around. She landed a guest spot on $#*! My Dad Says recently, and soon she'll be at the Oscars!

Amanda Seyfried Is Nervous About Going Back to London

Amanda Seyfried hasn’t been to the UK since splitting from her boyfriend Dominic Cooper last May, and though she loves “easy” life in Britain, she's worried about visiting.

She said: “I haven’t been back to London since before we split. It’s tough. I need to get back. But it’s hard when your relationship starts there and then goes on for three years.

“It’ll be difficult to go back but I love it. Oh god, it just feels so easy to be there. You don’t have to watch yourself all the time.”

Amanda -- who was most recently romantically linked to actor Ryan Phillippe -- also revealed she no longer feels uncomfortable watching raunchy film footage of herself with her family because she knows she isn’t like that all the time.

She explained: “I can turn my sexuality on and off. It doesn’t exist in everyday situations. I don’t really think about it then, but there are certain situations where I will make myself be aware of it. Just to keep myself in check.”

Tom Ford Required Non-Disclosure Agreement Before Fashion Show

Now here's taking secrecy to a whole 'nother level. Apparently Tom Ford's uber secretive fashion show last season wasn't up to his level of stealth. This season, he required all attendees to sign a non-disclosure agreement requiring they keep mum on the show until summer. NDAs are the type of thing you encounter at places like Google or Wall Street—not fashion.

In this era of digital media, where fashion shows are streamed live as they happen and photos are up moments after, this level of mystery around a brand is refreshing and unique. But it also feels like an over-controlling stunt. Hoping your clothes don't get overexposed moments after a show is one thing, avoiding reviewers and forcing people to sign NDAs is another.

Tom may be trying to rekindle the aire of exclusivity surrounding fashion, but we can already feel the backlash brewing. What do you think, will these control measures help his brand or hurt it in the long run?

Drew Barrymore Has a New Man

Drew Barrymore has a new man! The actress was spotted at lunch with her beau in LA over the weekend, and apparently they've been seeing each other for a few weeks now.

The lucky guy's name is Will Kopelman, and he's an art consultant and the son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman. He's reportedly the "socialite type and a playboy" a source said.

He and Drew apparently locked lips at a Dewar's party on February 10, and then were spotted again this weekend looking cozy. Guess this means things are definitely done between her and on-again, off-again beau Justin Long...

Justin Bieber To Be Immortazlied in Wax

If you want to hang out with Justin Bieber, head over to London. The 16-year-old singing sensation will be honored with his own waxwork at London’s Madame Tussauds next month.

Liz Edwards, Madame Tussauds’ PR manager, said: “Justin Bieber is truly a worldwide sensation. We have been absolutely inundated with requests from young fans from around the world to see him at Madame Tussauds. We’re sure his fans will be just as delighted as we are that Justin will be joining the A-list here in March.”

Justin gave sculptors a sitting late last year, where hundreds of precise measurements were taken. The figure then took four months to complete at a cost of almost $250,000.

Another Justin figure will also be unveiled at Madame Tussauds Amsterdam on the same day and at Madame Tussauds New York very soon after.

However, the model may now be slightly out-of-date as Justin recently had his hair cut into a more mature style.

He recently Tweeted: “yeah so it's true...i got a lil haircut...i like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon.”
