WOULD YOU BUY SHOES FROM A VENDING MACHINE???
Ladies . . . how many times has this happened?
--You've spent all night dancing in high-heels. But now your FEET are killing you and all you really want to do . . . is slip on a pair of comfortable FLATS for the ride or walk home.
--Well, a company called Rollasole has come out with a solution to just that problem. Get this . . .
--The SHOE VENDING MACHINE. (???)
--According to Rollasole's website, quote, "When you're all danced out, just slip one of our vending machines a fiver and it'll sort you out with a pair of roly poly pumps and a shiny new bag to slip your slingbacks in.
--"Rollasoles are fun, fashionable and fabulously comfy, so bag yourself a pair and get home in style."
--That's right. You can now buy SHOES . . . from a vending machine.

The Michael Jackson drama begins!

Let the Jackson chaos begin. The first autopsy is completed but now Jackson's remains have been sent for a second autopsy by his family. It's going to be two more months til the family gets the results of that but they have some questions about his reported 20-year-addiction to drugs. He is said to have received at least 3 shots a day of demerol (which he referred to as 'health tonic') from a doctor because he was afraid of needles. The shot he received last Thursday was 'too much' and caused an overdose which sent him into cardiac arrest. He lost consciousness immediately but for some reason it was an hour before anyone called 911. His doctor, who disappeared after Jackson's death, says that he did not give Jackson his final shot and was the one who found and performed CPR on Jackson's bed. CPR on a bed is reportedly incorrect procedure. Now the family is questioning the doctor and Jackson's other handlers. They do not believe a will was ever made out but have no way of knowing because Michael's attorneys won't show them anything. That is why the family is stepping in to try and figure what is going on. The main concern of course being his 3 children. The 'mother' of the two oldest, Debbie Rowe made some bizarre comments over the weekend stating that they were 'not' her children and that she had no interest in seeing them. In 2005, she gave up her rights to them but a judge restored them anyway, meaning she has full right to them now considering she admitted that Michael was not the father because she was artifically inseminated. Michael's parents desperately want the children and would not refuse her access but they are understandably concerned after her remarks. Sadly, his oldest son was said to have witnessed his father collapse and thought he was joking around. And despite rumors that his debt will cancel out any of his assets, he supposedly left 100 songs that he recorded and never released to make sure his children would see those benefits.

I'm way to obsessed with this whole Jon and Kate thing...

So Jon is set to move into a $36,000 a month apartment in Trump Place and he's going to need that space. He's already hired a writer to help him write a tell-all about Kate's affair with her married bodyguard. Jon allegedly claims that he and his estranged-wife, Kate, haven't been intimate in a year and wants $10 million for the book. On a happier note, TLC claims that Jon's alleged mistress is not set to be featured this season.

10 Things You Didin't Know About Batchelor Parties.

The movie doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story — but we do. After chatting with some experts, here’s the truth behind the hype...



1. Getting in on the fun: Bachelor-party strippers say it’s not the groom-to-be who usually cheats. His married friends are more likely to cross that line.



2. Unwelcome guests: The groom-to-be’s biggest pet peeve? When his fiancée — or her maid of honor — shows up at the party unexpectedly. If you have an overly concerned MOH, make sure to spend the night of your guy’s bachelor party with her so she can’t pull anything crazy.



3. Held prisoner? Um, yeah: If the bachelor party has strippers, it’s not necessarily because that’s what the groom wants. “The groom is actually kind of being held prisoner and just trying to get through it,” says David Boyer, author of Bachelor Party Confidential. The groom’s friends are more likely the ones who wanted a show.



4. The long-leash theory: The best way to keep your guy from cheating at a bachelor party is to give him the go-ahead for guys’ nights year-round. “The more you try to cage that animal, the more he wants to get out,” Boyer says.



5. Shame on them: Bachelor parties aren’t all about naked women — they’re also about humiliating the groom-to-be. Case-in-point: At one party, a stripper dressed as a dominatrix tied the bachelor up...then, just as he was looking forward to a private lap dance, she applied makeup to his face.



6. Make that shame on us: Women are more likely than men to go home with someone they meet at a wild bachelor(ette) party.



7. The truth about lying: Yes, guys often lie (at least by omission) about what really went down at the party — it’s part of the night’s code of secrecy. The lies usually aren’t huge, but they can be. (For instance, one group threw regular bachelor parties even though none of their friends were getting married.)



8. Butt out: 75 percent of people think the bride-to-be should have no say in planning her groom’s bachelor party.



9. Safety in numbers: More and more couples are holding joint bachelor/bachelorette parties. Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro were the first celebrity couple to start the trend back in 2003.



10. Don’t ask, don’t tell: A groom-to-be will answer his fiancée’s questions honestly, but he won’t volunteer incriminating or embarrassing information. What if you want the full story? “Ask more probing questions,” says Tom Nardone, president of Bachelorette.com. Our advice? Ignorance is bliss.

Waddup BOB peeps!

Paris Hilton and her bf Doug reinhardt broke up cuz he was checking out a paris lookalike in a club. Paris threw fruit at the woman, and the woman proceeded to beat her down! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So, when you're at the watercooler today and someone asks if you've heard about Brit's new BF, It’s her manager Jason Trawick… you totally have permission to throw up your hands and say, "Whatevs! That's old news! But did you hear about Kendra and Hank?" Hef’s ex. Kendra from the Playboy Mansion is pregnant with her first child.. See how it unfolds on Fist comes love then comes Kendra on E.
• So the news broke yesterday about Miley’s break up with Justin..People really aren't lining up to fill Justin Gaston's shoes. At an open casting call for Miley Cyrus' The Last Song, teenage boys were expected to turn out in droves. Less than 10 actually showed.

Lindsay Lohan continues her downward spiral. She was spotted in a London club where she set up a promotional tour in London at the same time ex-girlfriend, Samantha Ronson is there to try and win her back. She was mumbling about feeling 'totally caged' and after hiding in the bathroom with a group of friends, came out with a vodka in her hand and tried to curl up on the dance floor. Yikes.
