Remembering Michael Three Years Later

Three years ago on June 25th the world lost it's brightest light in the entertainment industry. Michael Jackson passed after an overdose of Propofol.

As the years go by, it's great to celebrate the life of this magical man who brought so much joy to people through his music and dance moves. Michael donated his life to his philanthropy and gave back as much as possible. He leaves behind his three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket who, I'm sure, will follow through on his legacy of wanting to make the world a better place.

Here are so memorable pictures from the life of the King of Pop.

The sex of Giuliana and Bill Rancic's baby has been revealed!

The E! News host and her husband of nearly five years hosted family and friends at a baby shower in Los Angeles this afternoon—and while the guests enjoyed yummy treats and good times were had by all, the main event was the moment when the over-the-moon couple told everyone whether they are expecting a boy or a girl at summer's end.

"We are beyond excited to be having a little boy," says Bill.

"We are so ready for everything that comes with being a new mom and dad!" adds Giuliana. "We just can't wait!"

"We're so thrilled that it finally happened for us," said the mom-to-be.

"At the end of the day, whether you have a baby naturally, through adoption, through surrogacy, it's your baby. You're going to love that baby and that's all that matters," Giuliana had said on the Today show, just a few weeks before they confirmed that their child was on the way.

SO happy for Giuliana. She's been through so much and deserves the world. Congrats!

Rodney King Dead at 47

Rodney King -- the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots -- was found dead this morning in Rialito, CA. He was 47.

According to our sources, King's fiancée found him dead at the bottom of a pool.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they responded to a call at 5:25 AM PT. We're told they physically removed King from the pool and attempted CPR. 

Our sources say he was pronounced dead at 6:11 AM.

Law enforcement sources say Rialto PD will open a drowning investigation. 


King became famous in 1991 when he was the victim of police brutality at the hands of the LAPD. The officers involved in the incident were acquitted the following year and the announcement of the verdict led to the Los Angeles riots. 

Lindsay Lohan Found Unconscious

Paramedics were called in to tend to Lindsay Lohan this morning after the actress was believed to be unconscious in her hotel room.  Lindsay's rep tells E! News the situation wasn't quite as dramatic as it sounds.

"Lindsay has been working a grueling schedule for the last couple of days," Lindsay's rep Steve Honig told E! News. "Last night she worked from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. She was exhausted and went back to her room to sleep. Producers were apparently concerned and called the fire department and paramedics found her sleeping but determined that she was fine, just extremely exhausted and slightly dehydrated.

"She is on her way home now to rest and will be back on set later today."

He added that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the incident.

Taylor Swift to Make a Wish Come True for Young Girl With Heart Defect

Here’s another one for the ‘Taylor Swift is an awesome person’ file. For her latest act of kindness, Miss Swift will make 12-year-old Britney Kuhl’s dreams come true by meeting her in person. Like most girls her age, Brittney idolizes the award-winning country star. Only, her story is a little different: The talented singing and dancing adolescent has a life-threatening heart condition.

Brittney suffers from a heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The disease has required her to undergo multiple surgeries — five to be exact — and take multiple pills per day. But the charismatic pre-teen doesn’t let her serious illness get her down. Known as miss personality around Whitman Middle School, the Kuhl sings, plays basketball and participates on her school’s dance team.

Like any young girl with an aspiration to sing, Brittney is dying to meet Taylor Swift. And thanks to the compassion of students at Whitefish Bay High School, she’s going to get that chance.

The students met Kuhl through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. They have spent the past year raising money through a car wash, raffle, dodgeball, ice cream social and other efforts, and now that they have racked up $6,500 for their sweet friend, she is going to get her chance to meet the ‘Safe & Sound’ hitmaker. Brittney told reporters that she hopes to sing a duet with Swift and show the music star some of her own songs.

“My wish is to meet Taylor Swift, because she’s like my idol and I have all of her CDs,” she added in a YouTube video. “I love to sing, so I’ve always wanted to meet her. I’m going to be really excited — my mom and my dad are. My brother… maybe not so much.”

While the fundraising was an effort put forth by dozens of students, one girl in particular stands out. Senior Maggie Anderson first had the idea to raise money for the Make-a-Wish foundation when she saw a recipient of the program get their wish of meeting Maroon 5. Since the first time she met Brittney, she knew she wanted to make the girl’s dream of getting up close and personal with Swift a reality. In Brittney’s words, “After I meet her, I’ll feel really good.”

Of course, no country music fans should be surprised that Taylor Swift is taking the time to hang out with the 12-year-old aspiring singer. Swift has responded to several requests to reach out to sick kids in the past few months, including two prom invitations (one from Kevin McGuire, another from Devin Whitney). Country music’s sweetheart sure does have a big heart of her own!
