Michael Jackson’s memorial service at the Staples center will be covered worldwide in the media today. Fans and media from around the world have flown in to LAX to cover the memorial. So if you are not lucky enough to have a ticket, we recommend you stay far away from this area.

“This is the kind of event on TV that just about everyone will tune in for, at least for a part of it, in order to be a part of it,” one producer already positioned at Staples told THR. He said his company’s preparations were similar to those made for a big soccer match or big awards show.

Organizers of the Jackson memorial funeral service told broadcasters that Staples will not offer a VIP red carpet line and that dignitaries and celebs will not have a chance to be interviewed.

ABC has apparently gotten the entire balcony of the Nokia Theatre adjacent to Staples for its coverage, while positions on special high-risers near the arena’s entrance were reportedly going for $10,000 a pop to different media outlets.

The celebrities that will appear at the Michael Jackson memorial include Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Kobe Bryant, Smokey Robinson, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Hudson, Lionel Richie, Usher and John Mayer.

Most of the major broadcast networks will cover the memorial live, and we have the links below for those of you that would like to watch the Jackson memorial service online.

Jon and Kate Gosselin Spend July 4th Together

Jon and Kate Gosselin are getting divorced, but that didn’t stop them from spending the 4th of July together as a family. Read more below.

Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight children celebrated the 4th at their home in Wernersville, Pennsylvania.

The family was seen playing volleyball and picking blueberries for a cake that Kate baked. Jon was seen lighting up a sparkler.

“Jon pointed to the July 4 holiday and said, ‘What are we going to do about that?’” Kate previously told the mag. “I absolutely cannot imagine not spending every single holiday with my kids. I don’t care what it takes. I will be there.”

Jon and Kate announced their separation on the June 22 episode of their TLC show, “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” and filed for divorce just two days later.

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ reality show is on hiatus until August 3 in order to give the family “time off to regroup,” according to TLC.

Teacher Crystal Defanti Sends Fifth Graders Home With Sex Video In”Memories” DVD

Teacher Crystal Defanti sent students home with a video she’d made them of school memories, but the DVD actually included their teacher having sex on a couch. Uh oh! Read more on this naughty teacher, Crystal Defanti, and the sex video below.

A teacher at Isabelle Jackson Elementary accidentally put pornography into a DVD that was supposed to be of school memories from the past year, but sadly she didn’t notice there was a sex video of herself on the dvd, until it was discovered by the student’s parents. Oh man….

Parents of the students said that the woman is a good teacher,but she had made a very embarrassing mistake.

The “Memories” DVD starts with a menu screen that shows school trips and functions, and when you click on one of them, you see kids in a classroom sharing stories. It then shows the students clapping, then the video cuts to the sex scene of their teacher on the couch.

“It goes from my son, straight to her on the couch,” said ‘Joe,’ who saw the video along with his son and did not wish to be identified. “My son’s reaction was, ‘Dad, is that Ms. Defanti?’”

“We were up till midnight doing the ‘birds and the bees,’” he added.

“All she could say was that it was a horrible mix up,” Joe said.

The teacher phone the parent at home the day after his child got the DVD, crying hysterically and apologizing for the snafu. Crystal Defanti asked the man and his wife if they could call the other parents to ask them not to view the DVD with their children.

The Elk Grove Unified School District says they are investigating the incident, but legal experts say it’s unlikely that the teacher will lose her job.

“It’s felony stupid, but it’s not a crime,” said defense expert Ken Rosenfeld. “Is it something that she should be disciplined for? Absolutely, but fired for? She didn’t intend for this to happen.”

Joe doesn’t care if the teacher keeps her job, he’d just like some help from the school.

“Maybe offer some sort of counseling for my children, ask me how my children are doing,” he said. “I want somebody to ask me the kind of questions my kids are asking me.”

School officials say a new DVD of Memories will be sent to students once it has been reviewed. Good idea!

Black Eyed Peas Love Louis Vuitton

Continuing their fun-filled stay in the City of Lights, the Black Eyed Peas were spotted out checking out the latest trends on Thursday (June 25).

With Fergie, Will.i.am, Taboo and Apl.de.Ap all along for the day’s outing, the group posed for pictures before heading in to see the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 show as part of Paris Menswear Fashion Week.


Meanwhile, Will.i.am has responded, once more, to allegations made about the assault of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton this past weekend in Toronto.

Will.i.am tells, “I will not continue to comment specifically on the event that happened in Toronto this past weekend, but I don’t want my silence to be misunderstood. I don’t condone violence or harassment of any kind. No one deserves physical abuse. And no one deserves verbal abuse. No one deserves any of that. Everyone needs to be respected.”

“As far as character allegations against myself, members of the Black Eyed Peas, and members of management I believe the truth will speak for itself once all the details of the event are fully presented,” Will.i.am continues. “Hateful slurs racial or gay should not be used as verbal weapons to provoke violence. Let us all learn from the events that happened in Toronto. This situation has already taken valuable time, energy, and attention away from more important and in some cases devastating issues happening in our world.”

Perez Hilton sues Black Eyed Peas manager

LOS ANGELES – Perez Hilton struck back Wednesday with a civil lawsuit filed against the Black Eyed Peas manager accused of hitting him outside a Toronto nightclub.

The celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, sued the Peas' road manager in Los Angeles for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking unspecified damages of more than $25,000.

The suit states Hilton is seeking to protect his rights to free speech and claims Polo Molina attacked him because he made critical comments about the Black Eyed Peas' new album. Molina was arrested in Toronto early Monday after he allegedly punched Hilton following a heated argument between the blogger and Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am.

An e-mail sent to the group's publicist was not immediately returned Wednesday. Molina is due to appear in court Aug. 5.

"Perez Hilton was assaulted by the band's road manager because he would not agree to stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on his Web site Perezhilton.com," Bryan Freedman, Hilton's lawyer, said in a statement. "Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer."

The lawsuit details the events leading up to Molina's alleged attack on the blogger.

The complaint states Black Eyed Peas vocalist Fergie approached Hilton on Saturday and asked why he was writing "mean" things about her and the group. Hilton replied that he was "simply being honest and truthful about his opinions of them," according to the lawsuit.

On Sunday, Hilton claims he was pushed by an unidentified member of the Black Eyed Peas' entourage, who "slammed his shoulder into Hilton's shoulder and thereafter pushed him."

The lawsuit claims Fergie again approached him at an afterparty for the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night and that his argument with will.i.am happened at another party. The lawsuit claims the blogger was trying to leave that party when Molina punched him at least three times.

"Lavandeira sustained injury to his eye and was bleeding as a result of this violent and malicious attack," the lawsuit claims.

His damage claims include medical costs and damages due to "humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress." The lawsuit also claims that Molina is on probation in California for a drunken driving conviction under his real name, Liborio Molina.

Hilton, who is openly gay, said Monday that he called will.i.am a "faggot," a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site.

He posted about the attack on the popular microblogging site Twitter on Monday, and has since rejected a call by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to apologize for using the term.

The Black Eyed Peas' newest album, "The E.N.D," has proved popular, ranking No. 1 on last week's Billboard magazine's charts for R&B/Hip-Hop albums. Singles from the album have also proved popular in other ranks.
