Michael Jackson had a habit of getting Demerol injections — he even had a special name for them.
We’re told Jackson called it "health tonic." He would have a doctor inject him because, we’re told, he didn’t like needles.
Our sources have told us Jackson was injected with Demerol at 11:30 AM the day he died. Shortly thereafter Jackson went into cardiac arrest.
You’ll recall, Jackson also had a name for wine — Jesus juice.

What flashed through your mind in the moment when you first heard about Michael Jackson’s death? Before the psychologists, professional and amateur, drew the comparisons between him and Elvis, another musical king with a Christ complex who built an enclosed world for himself to avoid dealing with reality? Before conspiracy theorists started floating theories of drug overdose, suicide, murder or feigned death? Before pundits started recounting the tales of plastic surgery, molestation and megalomania? Before the crocodile tears and official press statements of countless current and former celebrities?

Music mogul Quincy Jones, who worked with the late Michael Jackson on numerous music and film projects throughout the ’70s and ’80s, has issued a statement on the passing of the child star turned King of Pop.

Michael Jackson died Thursday afternoon at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 50 years old.

“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on ‘The Wiz’ and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the ’80s. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all.talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

Sexy songstress Kellie Pickler is reportedly in the midst of a white-hot romance with musician Kid Rock – another spies believe the “American Badass” star is carrying on a love affair of his own with Sheryl Crow!

“The romance between Kellie and Kid has been the worst-kept secret in Nashville,” a country music industry insider spilled to The Globe this week.

The 23-year-old blonde, who got her start as a contestant on the fifth season of American Idol, dated hockey player Jordin Tootoo for nine months in 2007 before the athlete was caught cheating on her. According to The Globe, the country-rap-rockin’ Kid – who has constantly complained about having a “built-in bimbo attractor chip – began romancing Kellie after the two joined forces for a five-day USO concert tour for U.S. troops in the Middle East and Kosovo last December.

Despite his alleged romance with Kellie, whispers are also abound that Kid, 38, has been cozying up to his rumored former flame Sheryl Crow, 47. Sheryl and Kid met in 2001, when the stars collaborate on the Top 10 hit single “Picture.” They’ve managed to reignite reports that they are dating after turning up the heat during a duet at the CMT Music Awards on June 16.

“..Seeing Kid with Sheryl makes you wonder if he’s hooking up with both women! They’ve always been coy about their relationship.” the spy jokes.

Michael Jackson died this afternoon after suffering a heart attack at his L.A. home this afternoon. Michael’s big brother Jermaine Jackson read a statement to the media during a press conference at Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital in Los Angeles this evening. Jeremaine told the press that a team of doctors at the medical center tried to resuscitate the King of Pop for more than an hour before he was pronounced dead.

“My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 p.m.” an obviously distraught Jeremaine told the media gathered outside the hospital shortly before 6:30 PM.

“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known.”

He continued: “The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother. As did paramedics who transported him to the hospital.”

“Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 p.m., a team of doctors, including emergency phsyicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of one hour and they were unsuccessful.”

“Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time, and may Allah be with you Michael, always,” Jeremiah said before walking away, visibly shaken.

Michael Jackson, the child star turned King of Pop who set the world dancing but whose musical genius was overshadowed by a bizarre lifestyle and sex scandals, died on Thursday. He was 50.

Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PDT (9:26 p.m. EDT) after arriving at a Los Angeles hospital in full cardiac arrest, said Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. The cause of death was not known and an autopsy would likely take place on Friday, he said.

Jackson was taken ill at home and his personal physician tried to resuscitate him but could not, his brother Jermaine told reporters. He was taken by paramedics to the hospital, where doctors worked for more than an hour to try to revive him before pronouncing him dead, the brother said.

Late Thursday, his body was flown by helicopter from the hospital to the coroner’s office.

The self-styled "King of Pop," whose hits included "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," leaves behind a mountain of debt and an unfulfilled series of comeback concerts set for London in July. Many hoped the shows would rake in millions and erase his financial troubles.

Jackson’s dramatic, one-gloved stage presence and innovative dance moves were imitated by legions of fans around the world who mourned his death.

His lifetime record sales tally was believed to be around 750 million. With his 13 Grammy Awards and boundary-breaking music videos he was one of the most successful entertainers of all time.

But Jackson’s belief that "I am Peter Pan in my heart," his preference for the company of children, his friendship with a chimp, his high-pitched voice and numerous plastic surgeries also earned him critics and the nickname "Wacko Jacko."

Jackson led a reclusive life after his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation, the second time he had faced ultimately unproved allegations of abuse of young boys.

"I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news," said Quincy Jones, who helped arrange the music on the album "Thriller" and produced the "Off the Wall" album, said in a statement.

Celebrity tributes poured in for the singer who was one of the first black entertainers of the MTV generation to gain a big crossover following.

Pop star Madonna said: "I can’t stop crying over the sad news … I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats but his music will live on forever."

Emily Blunt wants to be a "gay icon".

The 26-year-old actress plays a woman caught up in a passionate lesbian love affair in new film ‘Sunshine Clearing’ and is excited about reaching a new fan base, even if she can’t fully relate to them.

She said: "I’m going to become a gay icon. Have I ever flirted with that side? No, never, but I do remember girl crushes on other girls in your year group at school.

"There are these girls who are magnetic and beautiful and so cool. You just feel yourself shrink in their presence.

"I absolutely remember how powerful 16-and-17-year-old girls can be. I look at them now – my little sister is 18 – and they do seem very grown up."

But while Emily is often in awe of her younger sister, her family is not fazed by her fame, which has been steadily growing since she appear opposite Anne Hathaway in 2006 comedy ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.

The actress told Britain’s The Observer newspaper: "I think they’re very proud of me but in the way you’d sort of expect, not in a gushing, obsequious way, but just because I’m their child. I think they’re relieved their child is doing well in a business that is known for crushing people."

Cristiano Ronaldo has lost interest in Paris Hilton.

The soccer star and the hotel heiress spent the night together earlier this month and vowed to keep their romance alive.

But less than two weeks after their passionate liaison, the 23-year-old sportsman has claimed he doesn’t have time for the 28-year-old blonde beauty.

Cristiano said: "She was a really cool girl and we had a great time talking. I am a young man and Paris a young lady, and us talking in a club is just what normal people our age do.

"She lives thousands of miles away and is busy, and I am busy in Madrid so I am not sure if we will be able to see each other. I am just making the most of the short summer I get."

Paris and Cristiano spent hours "swapping spit" at MyHouse club in Los Angeles before driving to her sister Nicky Hilton’s nearby home in West Hollywood at 3am.

A grinning Cristiano was photographed leaving the mansion at 5am. He and Paris met up for a second time less than 24 hours later.

Meanwhile, Paris’ mother Kathy has lashed out at her daughter’s ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.

She said: "I think Paris needs to be with someone who is a bit more mature, older and has their own thing."

Paris’ aunt Kyle Richards also commented on her niece’s relationship with ‘The Hills’ star.

She said: "The stories out there about our family not approving of their relationship are completely true. Doug was riding Paris’ coattails."

Jennifer Aniston has been sending perfumed notes to John Mayer.

The actress – who split from the singer in April – is reportedly struggling to get over her old flame and has good luck messages delivered to the ‘Gravity’ star’s dressing room before he performs.

A source said: “Jennifer sent John a hand-delivered perfumed note before one of his concerts recently.

“It read, ‘Play well, you always do’. It was sweet. Clearly she doesn’t want to let go completely.”

Friends of the 30-year-old singer claim Jennifer – who was recently romantically linked to her ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ co-star Bradley Cooper – has stayed in touch with John’s brother and a reunion could be possible.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “John hasn’t shown any interest in other women since the split, which is a break from the usual pattern.

“Who knows, this may not be the end of their romance. Neither seems very good at letting go.”

Jennifer – who since her divorce from Brad Pitt has dated several stars including Vince Vaughn and British model Paul Sculfor – recently poked fun at the “strange parallels” between her love life and movie titles.

She said: “I’m trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in. It’s funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that I have a strange parallel with movies I was doing and my life off screen. First, it was ‘The Good Girl’…which evolved into ‘Rumor Has It’, followed by ‘Derailed’.

“Then there was ‘The Break-up’. Followed by the lighter side, ‘Friends with Money’. If anyone has a movie called ‘Everlasting Love With an Adult Stable Man’, that would be great!”
