Beeky, that's what I've been thinking too. I saw the interview and I agree, that Jermaine seems to think it was where, until things soured, Michael was happiest. And frankly I don't see anything wrong with Neverland being as lucrative as Graceland. Michael was devoted to his fans, and it would give them an outlet, a place to congregate and to pay their respects, etc etc. As long as the profits go to his children, I'm okay with it. Plus didn't he leave 20% of the money in his will to Charity. I wonder if that includes any future earnings? And I wonder which charities they are? If the money goes to his kids and to charity that's the best of all possible worlds right now.

But it isn't what we want or Jermaine wants, Michael left the country and never returned to Neverland. Not to mention that it would impose a total nightmare on that area.. it is not like the location of Graceland, but way out where people really don't want to be hounded and disturbed. I'm sure Gary Indiana would enjoy the possible economic boost of being a mecca for Jackson fans.. I'm really more concerned about those three kids, though.

Maura Tierney having operation to rid breast tumor AP NEW YORK -Actress Maura Tierney says she's having surgery to remove a tumor in her breast. Tierney, who recently wrapped a long-running stint on the NBC medical drama "ER," issued a statement about the surgery on Monday, giving no details on her condition and when she'd due to have the operation. Says Tierney: "I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed." Tierney says her doctors assured her "this is a very treatable condition," and she's "very optimistic as to the outcome." Tierney's setback has delayed production on her new NBC series "Parenthood" for eight weeks. The network said the medical drama "Mercy" will instead premiere this fall. popeater.com/

Sea, I hear what you are saying. If it's a disturbance to the neighbours I agree it wouldn't be the best location. I just figured that since it was such a vast property, that the nearest neighbours weren't close enough to be disturbed.

They're going to be disturbed anyway. People will trek there from around the world whether it's opened publicly or not.

I'd guess Maura has what I had -- DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Usual treatment is lumpectomy, radiation, tamoxifen (never chemo). Yet, it can get more complicated depending on what is found during / after lumpectomy. If it definitely is DCIS diagnosis -- no chemo.

Vast property but tiny country roads, no close major airport, no close major city.

I imagine she'll be tense until the surgery is done and the biopsy is in..

If the doctors have told Maura "this is a very treatable condition," she's probably already had biopsy. "Very treatable" would seem to be DCIS. There are degrees of it also -- but it is NOT invasive. Mine was kind of a middle-of-the-road case. Could also be a totally benign fibroadenoma. I had one of those too. Some docs want to take them out. Most, I believe, just leave them in place. Mine did.

Re Neverland: On ET when it was raided by the authorities several years ago there were lots of prescription bottles just lying all over the place in the bedroom. What does that say about him having children in his bedroom? Any child might gotten hold of the meds. I hope he was a lot more circumspect with his own children around, but it sure doesn't look like he was from what his own mother and sisters have said they saw in his home.

Mira Sorvino gives birth to "miracle baby" LINK Scary, she had developed a blood clot.
quote:After weeks of hospitalization and bed rest, Mira Sorvino gave birth to her third child with husband Christopher Backus - and the actress calls her new son a "miracle baby." Holden Paul Terry Backus was born on June 22 in Los Angeles, PEOPLE reports. "As soon as they placed him in my arms I knew it had all been worth it," Sorvino, 41, said. "With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed: perfectly healthy, beautiful and wonderful!" The Oscar-winning actress and her actor husband welcomed their third child together, a son they've named Holden Paul Terry Backus.(Note: Please disable your pop-up blocker) Sorvino and Backus are also parents to 4-year-old Mattea and 3-year-old Johnny. "We are overjoyed to bring our beautiful healthy son home to his brother and sister," the couple said in a statement. "We are blessed to have a home filled with so much love." Sorvino's third pregnancy was fraught with complications, she revealed. "I developed a blood clot (DVT) due to all the inactivity and had to be anti-coagulated for months to prevent a pulmonary embolism," she said. "I spent another two-and-a-half weeks at the hospital, during which time, missing the children and my husband and knowing what the separation was doing to the kids became almost unbearable. Prior to this nine-week hospital stay, I had only ever spent one night away from Johnny and Mattea." "The baby was very big and he came a couple of weeks early so it took longer than we thought," she added. "During the day we had some scary difficulties with the epidural as I achieved almost no progress with the labor and then at night the placenta created problems again. Although it was not blocking the baby's path as it had done for almost the entire pregnancy, it started causing me a substantial loss of blood. Just as we began begging for a C-section, the situation turned around and the end of the birth was very easy." Adding Holden to the family has been much easier for Mattea and Johnny. "They make up songs to sing to him!" Sorvino shared. "My only challenge has been convincing them not to touch him and pet him while he's sleeping, because they wake him up!"

She's been blessed. From ET Online: Toxicology results that could determine the cause of Michael Jackson's death may be available this week, according to a new report. ET confirms with the Coroner's office that some of the toxicology reports are in and that the results could be announced as early as Friday. Jackson passed away suddenly on June 25 at the age of 50.

Amy Winehouse is looking all cleaned up and sober.
Good for her. I really like her music and she had me worried.

she looks like she just stepped out of a bad 80's movie. But I can't deny the vast improvement. That's for sure.

Much, much better. I am happy she got it together. Robert Redford marries German girlfriend A German church says its pastor presided over the wedding between Robert Redford and his German partner. Renate Massfeller, of the St. Catherine Church in Hamburg, said Wednesday that Pastor Frank Engelbrecht presided over the ceremony Saturday between the 72-year-old U.S. actor and artist Sibylle Szaggars at the luxury Louis C. Jacob Hotel. The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper said 30 friends and family members attended the service. The 51-year-old Szaggars is an abstract artist whose work has been exhibited in Britain, Germany, the United States and elsewhere. She moved to Sundance, Utah where Redford's Sundance Institute is based in the 1990s, according to her Web site. A message seeking comment from Redford's publicist in New York was not immediately returned. Redford has starred in dozens of films, including "The Sting" and "The Natural." He won the Academy Award for best director for the 1980 film "Ordinary People."

He played in 188 episodes of ER. ER Star Deezer D In Hospital 15 July 2009 5:16 AM, PDT ER actor Deezer D is recovering in hospital after undergoing major surgery to correct potentially fatal heart problems. The star, who played Nurse Malik McGrath on the long-running medical drama, had his aorta replaced and a leaking heart valve fixed in a gruelling six-hour operation on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Deezer - real name Dearon Thompson - is currently in the intensive care unit as he recuperates. A source close to the actor tells RadarOnline.com, "It's the watch-and-wait period now but if all goes well, he'll be moved to a regular floor for another seven days. "Once his cardiologist gives the all-clear, he'll be home - but with no more cigars and no strenuous exercise for awhile."

US Weekly has footage of the filming of the Pepsi commercial where Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire. It looks really bad. They're saying that's when he started taking pain pills. Ryan Seacrest's website, with embedded video clip
