Katie Price and Peter Andre Divorce - End of a Fairytale -
- 4 Years Wiped out in 42 Seconds -
After the recent very public slanging matches to and fro between televisions fallen golden couple and the ongoing bid to out-do each other in the daily tabloids, the tumultuous marriage of Katie Price 31, and Peter Andre 36, has now thankfully been brought to a welcome end.
Their fans very quickly split into 2 camps. Team Andre and Team Price, as the warring pair hit the headlines day after day in their battle for supremecy.
It was only a couple of months ago that Peter Andre announced that he would be splitting from his wife of four years for reasons that he would not share.
Shortly after running the London Marathon and the recent revelation that Katy had lost a baby around the same time, he split from his wife whom he clearly still loved.
In a statement at the time Katy said: “Pete is the love of my life and my life” – “We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me, as I married him for life” she continued: ‘I will always love my Pete.’ –
Theirs was a fairytale romance from their very first meeting in the Australian reality jungle show ‘I’m a Celebrity – Get me out of Here’, to their over the top, pink and fluffy Cinderella style wedding in 2005. Complete with white horse-drawn pumpkin shaped coach and sumptuous regal setting.
A couple of years on and 2 children later, tempers were fraying constantly on their documentary style TV series, the couple appeared to be far from the star-struck lovers that they flaunted to the world in their publicity shots.
Large cracks were evident and hostile arguments showed to us that all was very far from well in the Andre camp.
Peter could not handle Katie’s behaviour when she let her hair down. This is when her alter-ego Jordan would come out to play. Peter’s insecurities and jealousies erupted over a night out in Bristol when Katie appeared very ‘unmarried’ after a good booze up at a nightclub with a group of people, including Andrew Gould, International dressage rider and the stable owner who looks after her horses.
Although seemingly all quite innocent, her behaviour on this night seems to have been the final straw for Peter who read about Katie’s antics and saw the damning pictures when they were splashed all over the papers the following day.
Today the estranged couple were granted a quickie divorce in the High Court which took all of 42 seconds. The decree nisis was granted after both cited ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as the reason for their break-up in May.
They now have a 6 week period before the divorce becomes final and the Decree Absolute is filed.
The divorce was granted by District Judge Bradley on the grounds that their marriage had irretrievably broken down because of each other’s unreasonable behaviour.
Neither party attended the hearing at the High Court.
‘Peter and Katie have two children together - son, Junior, four, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, aged two. Katie also has another son, Harvey, aged seven, with footballer Dwight Yorke.’
Katie said: “It’s a shame because it was a fairytale and he was the love of my life”.
I wish them both well. -

Eastenders Stars Heartbroken Father Hangs Himself - Noel Janus -
Copyright Photo Sylvan Mason by kind permission sylvanmason.com
I was very shocked when I read the news yesterday that Noel Janus, 60, had hung himself in the bathroom of his one bedroom flat in Hollingdean, Brighton.
He was found by the police after a worried neighbour alerted them on Saturday. He was last spotted by him a few days prior to his hanging when Noel was seen out walking his deaf Dalmatian dog Cathy.
Noel was heartbroken that he did not appear in any of the glossy OK magazine wedding pictures taken in May at his daughter Samantha’s (who plays Ronnie Mitchell in the popular British soap Eastenders) wedding.
His daughter Samantha, 37, was to be married to Mark Womack and she sent her father an invitation to the May wedding. Though he did not walk her down the aisle or make a speech. He was simply there as a guest.
Friends said that Janus had been desolute in the weeks leading up to his death. The fact that none of the published photographs included himself or any of his side of the family deeply upset him.
He told in an interview to the local paper the Evening Argus that this was “Like a dagger to the heart”. He was inconsolable. ‘The whole of Sam’s side of the family, including myself and her mother, have been completely left out of all the photos’.
“It’s like we weren’t there - we don’t exist.”
Noel split with Samantha’s mother when she was 6 years old and it was not until 1996 that more regular contact with Samantha began. Their relationship was strained and the editing of the photos appears to have been the final straw for him.
His long-time friend, Abby Goldin said that “Noel would have liked to walk his daughter down the aisle”.
Noel was well known in Brighton. He was a singer songwriter who supported local charities and had a keen interest in motorcycle events and he was brother to Angie, who married footballer George Best.
I am devastated at the news. Noel was an old friend of mine who I first met when we both lived in Kemptown village.
We were part of the ‘Hand in Hand’ set. A local real ale pub, where a load of us would all meet up and wile away the night before piling back to his flat nearby, to put the world to rights till the early hours of the morning.
I last saw Noel a few years ago at a party given by a mutual friend, Fran. It was nice to catch up and he seemed in very good spirits. He had a great personality and a wonderful energy for life.
Noel was a local celebrity and a popular figure in Brighton and Hove where he would perform at the local pubs and wine bars singing his songs and playing guitar.
He was very talented and worked with a number of bands and artists including Fleetwood Mac. He brought out his own album ‘Heroes of the World’ in the late 1970’s.
Noel had been suffering from heart problems and was severely depressed towards the end of his life. - He will be sadly missed by all his friends.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and an inquest will be held in due course.”
Channel 4 Big Brother 10 Disgrace – Freddie Halfwit Emotionally Terrorised by Housemate Bea
After watching the main show of Big Brother on Channel4 at 9.00 on August 11th, I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth.
I could hardly believe what I had just witnessed. -
The dyslexic and emotionally fragile housemate Freddie, (Halfwit) as Big Brother officially re-named him by deed poll had just been severely mentally abused by housemate Bea, a malicious psychology graduate from Bristol.
As she laid into the quivering Freddie, twisting the knife at every opportunity, he convulsed into a panic attack and uncontrollable floods of tears.
He could hardly string a couple of words together in defence as his mind and body broke down as the verbal attack continued.
Channel 4 saw fit to air this viscous bullying under the guise of entertainment on a show which was screened at 9’0’clock at night.
They also did not intervene. They let Bea rip him apart mentally like a pit bull with a rag doll and he was left totally distraught to sob himself to sleep.
This level of psychological bullying can have devastating effects, not just in the present, but also for the future of the individual involved.
How can the Channel 4 bosses responsible for the show justify taking the risk of letting this repeatedly happen to a housemate without stepping in and taking some kind of harsh action against the perpetrator.
This was car crash television with the BB eye firmly on the ever decreasing ratings. What kind of message is the approval of bullying putting out there?
It was disgraceful that Big Brother had let Freddie suffer in this way without pulling up, or rightfully, removing the obnoxious and vindictive housemate Bea.
As the complaints flooded into Ofcom: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/progs/specific/?itemid=414131
And Channel 4: Julian Bellamy Head of Channel 4 Editorial Administrator: Claudia Emery Telephone - 0207 306 5537 Email - cemery@channel4.co.uk
The Big Brother Forum was in uproar, with everyone demanding she be removed from the show immediately. The posts were coming in all night long for Channel 4 to take action at once and take out the disgraceful housemate who had gone way too far.
Granted, there will always be arguments and petty fights in a reality show such as this, but the actions and mental abuse that housemate Bea dished out to Freddie does not belong on our television screens and in our living rooms.
I myself complained immediately to Ofcom and received a reply. I also complained to the head of channel 4 and as expected, I have received no acknowledgement to my email as yet.
After enduring 5 weeks of initial bullying by the ‘bus stop gang’ housemates, spear-headed by skinhead Lisa when the show first started, Freddy was put up for nomination, week after week.
His posh accent, anaylitical brain and his peace loving philosophy on life left him sadly misunderstood. After finally being accepted into the fold, Bea broke down all the hard work he had done to gain respect amonst his fellow housemates in one foul swoop.
Judge for yourselves! – If you haven’t watched the show this will be out of context, as many cleverly engineered, wearing down instances inflicted upon the gentle hippy, Freddie by Bea, which led to the final emotional straw for him.
- Halfwit under Attack -
http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/video/5c13066ddd6eb1cf7202b51fcd403394/play.c4
The moral responsibly of Channel 4 is to look after the housemates physical and mental welfare whilst under their care and beyond the conclusion of the show.
On this instance the mental welfare of Freddy has been sorely ignored, and all in the name of the ratings game.
If they are not careful they could have a repeat performance on their hands.
Only recently ex housemate Sree slashed his wrists after watching footage of the show and ex housemates Ashlene and Chanelle have previously attempted suicide since leaving the reality show.
The disgraceful and harrowing footage of August 11th cannot be swept under the carpet as if nothing has happened.
Viewers have been calling for the removal of Bea from the Big Brother house with immediate effect. Surely we, the licence payers should have a strong say when it comes to what we deem acceptable viewing, and bullying someone to the verge of breakdown is not in any way an acceptable form of television entertainment. -
The Dangers of Fad Dieting – Woman Dies on Liquid Diet of Soup and Water
The case of a young mother, Helen Anderson, 26, who tragically died after putting herself on a diet of soup and water, was highlighted in the news this week.
The liquid crash diet had triggered a fatal bodily reaction after being starved of sugar which resulted in her death.
The lack of sugar intake caused her body to eat its own stored fat reserves. As a consequence, lethal toxins were released into her bloodstream.
This was a diet that the young woman had created herself in order to try and lose six stone for her engagement party to a man who she had met online.
The diet consisted of water and cups of soup only, after eliminating solid food from the diet completely.
With the body being starved of enough necessary sugars from carbohydrates, it will begin to take from the stored fats.
That in turn can produce by products called ketones, which if left to build up are toxic to the system.
This principle of diet is behind many low-carbohydrate diets which it is advised should not be used for longer than a period of 14 days.
Anderson went from 15st to 9st 2lb in just over 14 weeks which was at the lower end of the Body Mass Index scale.
This abrupt weight loss caused the body to suffer a metabolic chemical reaction called ketoacidosis.
The South Tyneside coroner stated: “It arises as a result of the body reacting to a lack of sugar within itself, and that was in part a consequence of the intensive diet with which Helen was attempting to balance her weight.”
He added that the condition can develop suddenly without the victim being aware of the dangers: “I am totally certain that she had no intention to cause harm to herself.” -
——————————————————————————-
- Another case reported on the infoniac website details the dangers of liquid only diets -
”Sometimes the fight for perfection can lead to tragic results. This is exactly what happened to the 40-years-old Jacqueline Henson, who decided to stay on a diet made according to the recipe of a company, called LighterLife. The woman died because of a swelling on the brain.
The recipe of losing weight was very simple: the woman had to drink a lot of water in accordance to a certain program. On November, 14th, she sat in front of the TV, with 2 bottles of water, 2 litres each one, and started to drink water from a pint glass.
Two hours later, Jacqueline didn’t feel well, so she went into the bathroom, where she collapsed. Doctors could not help the woman who died in the hospital without coming into her senses. The necropsy showed that the large amount of water had taken all the salts out of her body.
The authors of the diet affirm that it was an accident. The coroner who investigated the death of the British woman also agreed with this version. “No one should drink that quantity of water in such a short period of time and the woman had not respected the strict timetable she had,” he said.
- Swelling of the brain -
As a consequence of excessive water drinking, it causes death quite rarely, but the fact remains: too much water in a short period of time causes a dysfunction of the kidneys since they cannot process it, thus the water is being restrained in the body in the form of swellings, including brain swelling, leading to death”.
When embarking on a diet it is wise to seek advise on suitability from your doctor.
A tsunami red alert warning for the east coast of Australia has now been demoted to a lesser ’marine’ version threat.
It appeared at one point that Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria would experience major, powerful wave activity.
A small tsunami of 7.8 magnitudes was generated after the undersea quake, just off New Zealand’s South Island. This was then followed by an aftershock of 6.1 magnitudes.
‘The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said small tsunamis, followed by unusual current movements, were detected at Spring Bay in southern Tasmania at 10.05pm and Port Kembla, south of Sydney, at 10.06pm’.
There is still a worry of unpredictable currents, but the threat of a tsunami following in the wake of the major undersea earthquake which occurred off the coast of New Zealand at 7.22 last night, reportedly has now passed.
The epicentre of the quake was determined to be at about 160km west of the city of Invercargill, on South Island, at a depth of about 35km.
A resident of Invercargill reported that the tremor was experienced lasting about a minute. Things were shaking and falling off the shelves.
‘Radio New Zealand said residents hundreds of kilometres away from the epicentre reported items falling off shelves, but said there were no casualties or serious damage’.
For the time being, people are still urged to be on their guard and to stay away from low-lying areas and well away from the sea.
Fluctuations of sea level have been observerd and it is still expected that there may still be occurences of unusual wave activity. -

Michael Jackson Autopsy Results – The Truth Behind the Lies
- The Emaciated Eight Stone Body of Michael Jackson -
With the Jackson family having requested a second, private autopsy to be conducted into the death of Michael Jackson, the findings of the first have been leaked to the press, and very shocking they are too.
Michael Jackson’s father Joe, suspects foul play at work here and he vows to get to the bottom of the truth behind the lies.
- THE FINDINGS OF THE AUTOPSY -
Michael Jackson was found to be in a severe stage of malnutrition. He weighed just 8 stone 1 ounce at his time of death, and standing at 5 foot ten, this was way too low.
Friends and family had feared for a while that Michael might be anorexic as his weight had plummeted over the last few months with the worry of the impending 50 date concerts coming up at the London, 02 Arena.
The contents of his stomach contained traces of undisolved pills but no food—
His body was found to be riddled with injection wounds and beneath his lustrous black wig the aging king of pop was totally bald, save for a light grey fuzz upon the top of his head.
The bridge of his nose was missing and it was also totally collapsed to one side.
Jackson was also covered with plastic surgery marks, stark reminders of the 13 odd operations he had gone through in his search for perfection.
There were cuts to his back and there was also bruising to his legs and knees. The tubing inserted during resuscitation and the oxygen masks caused damage also.
Jackson suffered several broken ribs, the results of vigorous pumping of his chest which was incurred when the star suffered cardiac arrest.
‘Dr Conrad Murray who performed the CPR, apparently found Jackson unconscious in bed. ‘Murray’s lawyer, Edward Chernoff, says Murray went into Jackson’s bedroom and saw that he wasn’t breathing’.
Chernoff told the Associated Press, “He just happened to find him in his bed, and he wasn’t breathing. Mr. Jackson was still warm and had a pulse.” Though the time that this incident occured is not specified.
tmz
The CPR procedure would normally be done on a hard surface such as the floor, as was later instructed by the advisor in the 911 call, and not on a soft domestic mattress. So why did the Doctor continue to do this incorrectly. And why did he not call 911 immediately.
There is a 56 minute missing time period according to reports, before the fire medics arrived. What exactly happenend in that long period of time between the administered Demorel injection given at 11.30 and the ambulance arriving at 12.26? which took only 3 minutes to arrive after the 911 call.
And at what exact time did Dr. Murray find Jackson still warm and with a pulse??
Still alive…
I wonder just ‘how long’ the Doctor performed CPR on Jackson on the bed before the 911 call was made by a member of the Jackson staff. - It doesn’t bear thinking about.
When the EMTs attended they found evidence that someone had been performing CPR on Michael Jackson for “quite some time.” Medics also attempted CPR but were aware at this point that Jackson was in fact dead and they wanted to call the coroner to come and pick up the body.
I have now acquired information that the call to 911 was made by a member of Jackson’s staff ‘half an hour’ after the Dr. found MJ unconscious - according to the doc’s lawyer, Edward Chernoff.
‘Chernoff explained this unbelievable revelation by saying Dr. Conrad Murray didn’t immediately make the call from his cell phone because he didn’t know the exact address of Michael’s mansion. For the record, the house is just above Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills — one of the most famous streets in the country’.
tmz
It just doesn’t add up. The times that things happened need to be accounted for.There are quite a lot of unanswered questions hanging in the air here. Questions that need answering.
Only one person can answer them. The man who was alone with Jackson, the last person to see him alive, Dr Conrad Murray, before another member of staff arrived and, witnessing the scene, immediately contacted 911.
- Listen to the 911 Call Here -
- Distressing 911 Phone Call from Michael Jackson’s House -
Also there were four injection piercings found close to his heart. One which was off course and had hit a rib, the other three which had pierced the heart wall and caused further damage. These could have been given in an attempt to give a direct hit of adrenaline in a bid to re-start his heart.
In one final indignity, the tip of the star’s butchered nose was seen missing as he was taken onto the waiting ambulance.
The stress and pressure for his upcoming 50 gigs at the 02 Arena in London had taken its toll. Michael was terrified of the thought of this and he was angry that he had agreed to do 10 gigs but had been pressured into finally agreeing to do 50 by his management.
He knew this was an impossible task for him and with his health in serious decline, he wasn’t eating and the fact that he no longer worked out, he knew he was not fit enough for the monumentous challenge of the physical dance routines over 50 shows.
He didn’t want to disappoint his fans by performing badly and the fact that his voice was no longer there meant he would have to lip-synch his way through the performance. The 02 Arena has the best facilities for this, so this would have been the least of his problems.
- MJ in Rehearsals for the 02 Concerts -
In all reality, not only could Michael Jackson not complete the 50 gigs, he couldn’t even do the 10.
He collapsed in just the second rehearsal for the shows and it was only last year that he was being transported in a wheelchair. Also, recent photos show him being propped up, barely able to walk even.
He cancelled a couple of his 02 dates, saying he was under-rehearsed, but in all truth, he would never have rehearsal enough. These dates were never going to happen.
The greed of the people around him pushing Michael to agree to an insurmountable task which pushed him over the edge in the last couple of months of his life. Their only motive being the money they would make off him.
His serious lung condition not only stole his voice but took his strength away too. Michael also had terrible recurring nightmares about being murdered, thought the swine flu would kill him if he came to England and more recently, Michael told people “I would be better off dead”, he said: “I’m done”.
He was also recently being treated for skin cancer. How could his management expect an ailing 50 year old with cancer who was in a prescription drug stupor, to sing and dance his way through 50 gruelling concerts?!
The findings of the autopsy paint a very sad picture.
The toxicology reports which should be through in 4-5 weeks should shed some light on these questions, and more. – Then we may find out just what or who is to be ultimately held responsible for the death of Michael Jackson. -
Michael Jackson – Prescription Medication – The Fears
As the dust settles, and the shocked world comes to terms with the monumental loss to music of Michael Jackson, one can’t help but question: ‘Why’? –
This shy and gentle soul was mismanaged and misinformed by the enclosed circle around him.
His entourage and hangers-on spun a tight web around the star that was impossible to penetrate. The “Vampires” and “Leeches” sucking the energy from him as the eccentric and troubled star struggled to exist within an imperfect world.
Family and friends feared this end for the multi talented ‘king of Pop’ and felt it was not so much a case of how he would die, but when. This was simply an accident that was waiting to happen. His body pumped full of powerful, ill matched drugs.
His fate was sealed by the horrific cocktail of prescription drugs that he filled his body with in a bid to try and find some kind of mental, physical and spiritual balance.
The strugggle with his identity fuelled by his inner demons lead him to drastically change his own image through the powers of extensive plastic surgery. Never seemingly happy with the results, his addictive personality took the procedures way too far.
His face now unrecognisable to that of the cute, young lead singer who performed live with his brothers in the Jackson Five.
His need for further acceptance and recognition saw him go solo. Further alienating him from a normality surrounded by the sanctity of a relatively stable life and the companionship and guidance of his siblings.
His dependency on these drugs was real and very necessary for him to allow him to function within his sad, surreal and unstable world. His life way out of control and his decision making taken out of his hands, whilst he used his tight knit circle as an emotional crutch.
Michael himself feared and accepted that one day he would probably die from the cocktail of drugs that he was taking, which controlled every part of his waking and sleeping day.
His ex-wife, Lisa-Marie Presley stated that this was the real pressure on their 19 month relationship that she could not cope with. She ended their marriage with sadness in her heart with her failure to help Michael kick his drug habit.
She was in “in over her head in trying” to save Jackson “from the inevitable”. – As she spoke with Michael of her father’s death (Elvis Presley), he said: “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did”.
Michael Jackson apparently knew “exactly how his fate would be played out” and feared his death would echo that of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie Presley wrote in her online blog.
On her Myspace page there is this statement:
“I am sitting here watching on the news, as an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears”.
“As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play the exact scenario I saw happen on August 16, 1977, happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted”.
“I wanted to ’save him’,” - “I wanted to save him from the inevitable, which is what has just happened.”
“The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow”.
“It was an unusual relationship, yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a ‘normal life’ found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part,” she wrote. “Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.” - Lisa-Marie’s Myspace Blog: http://bit.ly/5wR7p
Elvis Presley died in similar circumstance. His bloated, 42 year old body found slumped in the bathroom of his Graceland Mansion. Cause of death was stated as ‘Irregular heartbeat’, but the sealed autopsy didn’t silence the accusations that the heavy use of prescription drugs was probably the true cause. –
Michael Jackson was on a horrendous cocktail of opposing drugs according to information supplied in the Sun Newspaper.
These drugs are highly powerful and taken on their own they can be potentially dangerous. Taken as a cocktail, it’s a case of ‘Russian Roulette’.
‘The dangerous mix contains painkillers, anti-depressants, muscle relaxants and anti-anxiety tablets. Some can only be administered by medics’.
- VICODIN -
PRESCRIPTION painkiller containing paracetamol and the opiate hydrocodone.
It usually comes in a tablet form. US rapper Eminem was addicted to the drug.
- DILAUDID -
POWERFUL painkiller derived from morphine.
Used to numb post-surgery pain, chronic back pain and broken bones.
Users can become anxious and suffer severe mood swings.
- XANAX -
AN anti-anxiety pill that fights panic attacks and aids sleep, meant for short-term use only.
The drug is also thought to boost the risk of heart problems.
- SOMA -
THESE muscle relaxant tablets are known to be highly addictive but they are particularly effective for tackling back pain.
They can cause severe drowsiness in users.
- PRILOSEC -
TREATS acid reflux (when stomach acid leaks to the gullet) and ulcers.
Such conditions are common in those with irregular eating patterns and disorders like anorexia.
- PAXIL -
AMERICAN name for anti-depressant Seroxat.
Treats severe depression, social phobia, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder.
Linked to heightened suicide risk and increased depression.
- *DEMEROL* -
MORPHINE-based potent painkiller, used to numb pain after ops or birth.
Only medics may administer it.
Drug puts pressure on heart. Users can struggle to breathe.
- ZOLOFT -
ANTI-anxiety tablets taken to stave off panic attacks and depression.
They should not be used with any other anti-depressants.
They have been known to cause insomnia in users. -
In retrospect and taken in this fresh context, the lyrics to his 1997 song, ‘Morphine’ from his album ‘Blood on the Line’ are even more poignant and disturbing in the light of his demise.
I think to listen to this track you begin to understand the strong relationship that highly addictive prescription drugs had in Michael Jackson’s life. -
‘Relax This won’t hurt you Before I put it in Close your eyes and count to ten Don’t cry I won’t convert you There’s no need to dismay Close your eyes and drift away’
‘Demerol Demerol Oh God he’s taking demerol Demerol Demerol Oh God he’s taking demerol’ Hehehe! - Excerpt from Morphine written by Michael Jackson

Doctor Conrad Murray who is reported to have given Jackson the Demoral injection shortly before his death and who was with Jackson when he died, is currently being interviewed by the LAPD.
Whilst they still need to talk to Dr Tohme, who claims he is Jackson’s manager and lifelong friend, he had this to say: “I don’t have anything to do with his. This is B.S. - Why should I talk to police?” When referring to Jackson’s medication and state of health.
The Los Angeles County Coroner conducted an autopsy on Friday and while he said there was “no indication of foul play,” the official cause of death could not be determined.
The Jackson family have now demanded a second autopsy. – This certainly isn’t a cut and dried case by any means, and as the battle for the truth goes on, funeral arrangements are being discussed by the Jackson family, for the king of pop’s final resting place.
With the death of Michael Jackson, the world has been cruelly robbed of a great entertainer who fell foul to the hideous addiction of prescription drugs, and in his search for some kind of inner peace and normality in an otherwise distorted world, he sadly, found it impossible to function without them. -

- Distressing 911 Phone Call from Michael Jackson’s House -
When the Fire Department paramedics arrived at the rented, Holby Hills home of Michael Jackson at around 12.26, the star was on the ground having suffered a heart attack, with his personal physician attending to him.
He had no pulse and was not breathing and all efforts were made to resuscitate him at the scene, but to no avail.
At 1.14, the star entered the emergency room at the UCLA hospital, where medical staff fought for an hour in a bid to save his life.
Family members at the hospital were distraught, frantically pleading: “Please save him” - “You have to save him”
Doctors at the UCLA Medical Center pronounced Michael Jackson dead at around 2.26 after he had slipped into a deep coma after suffering a full cardiac arrest at his home.
Whilst the world of music mourns, his shocked fans must be devastated and stunned at Michael Jacksons sudden and untimely demise.
Though to those who knew him, it was not so. Family and friends feared for Michael, and the cocktail of medication that he was on. In their minds this was a tragic accident that was waiting to happen.
But until the results of the toxicology report are revealed within the next 6-8 weeks, they are holding their tongues, but vow to speak out.
Michael was in a lot of pain due to damage to the vertebre in his back and pain to his leg after breaking it when falling off a stage. There was also the incident where he was badly burned whilst filming a Pepsi ad.
It is being reported that Jackson was in receipt of synthetic Demerol injections for this pain, a morphine substitue, and it is beleived that one was administered shortly before his death, at 11.30 by the elusive Dr. Conrad Murray.
The LAPD are now searching for the missing doctor who performed this procedure. His BMW car abandoned outside the Jackson home.
There was also evidence at the scene of a drug called Lidocaine which is often used to treat erratic disturbances in the heart’s rhythm.
‘Demerol is notorious for its use by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders, and a target for ‘criminal diversion’ where legitimate prescriptions find their way on to the black market. It is highly toxic, compared with others in this class, with side effects that include depressed breathing which can lead to respiratory arrest, shock and cardiac arrest.
Overdose symptoms range from blood pressure and heart problems to coma. Dangerous side effects such as breathing problems and coma can occur when taken at the same time as a number of other drugs, legal and illicit, including alcohol and tranquillisers. In some countries, including Australia, tight limits have been put on its use’.
‘Jackson wrote about the drug in his 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor in a song entitled Morphine. “Trust in me, trust in me, put all your trust in me, you’re doin morphine. Demerol. Demerol. Oh God, he’s taking Demerol” - (daily mail)
When the EMTs attended they found evidence that someone had been performing CPR on Michael Jackson for “quite some time.” Medics also attempted CPR but were aware at this point that Jackson was in fact dead and they wanted to call the coroner to pick up the body.
Jacksons personal, live-in doctor demanded that they continue to try to revive him even though it was quite clear to them that he had gone. The decision was then made to take the body to the UCLA hospital.
Many bags of prescription drugs have now been seized by the investigating team from the $100, 000 per month, rented home of the late star. -
Thousands of his loyal followers congregated outside the Ronald Regan, UCLA Medical Centre, which is set in the grounds of the University campus, awaiting an official announcement of Michael Jackson’s death, which the coroner confirmed.
His body was flown, shrouded in white, by the Sheriffs helicopter to the coroners office. It was hard to imagine that beneath that lifeless, hospital sheet, lay one of the brightest musical stars of all time.
Crowds are flocking to the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY, to leave flowers. A place where Jackson gave one of his first performances, along with his brothers the ‘Jackson Five’.
Many too are arriving at the Holywood Walk of Fame to mourn the death of a musical legend.
Quincy Jones who collaborated with Jackson, producing the iconic album ‘Thriller’, which remains the best selling album of all time, said of him: “Michael Jackson was the consumate entertainer”.
The world wide web was at virtual standstill last night by the sheer weight of volume from the many searches being performed to try and find out if the awful news was true.
Social networking site Twitter crashed, as did entertainment site TMZ who was forefront at this tragic, breaking news story.
Google itself shut down, beleiving the volume of searches to be a virus attack. The Internet slowed down to a snails pace as more and more people became aware of the death of megastar, Michael Jackson.
Today, the day after his death, 70% of all Google searches are for Michael Jackson. The figures speak for themselves. The world is in mourning. -
Jackson has had quite a few health scares over the years. There were rumours that he needed a lung transplant, and more recently he has been undergoing treatment for skin cancer.
The gruelling rehearsals and the stress and pressure of the upcoming, mammoth 50 show dates taking in the 02 Arena in the UK must have been contributing factors to the fragile and delicate state of Jackson’s health and mind.
His addiction to prescription drugs was taking it’s toll. Out of the 45 rehearsals for his upcoming 50 shows, Jackson had only attended 2 sessions. Blame has been put on his inability to function that is down to his dependency on anti-anxiety and pain killing drugs.
It is reported that he was ‘just not able to pick himself up out of the painkiller stupor’ that he was in. The pain killers had taken over his life.
It was buzz on the streets that the thought of this was daunting to him and he is reputed to have said “I don’t know if I can live through so many shows”.
It was clearly a great worry to him. But financial pressure and the knowledge that the money to be accumulated from the dates would have put him back in front, which was a commitment that he had to see through.
Just when the world was eagerly awaiting his comeback and final curtain call, this sad news now heralds the end of an era.
His sister La Toya was seen rushing into the hospital crying after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Veteran film actress, of ‘National Velvet’ fame, and close friend, Elizabeth Taylor, dashed to the hospital to say her goodbyes.
The LAPD Homicide Department will be handling the investigation into Michael Jackson’s death. But they have stated “Do not read anything into that”.
It is quite customary in a high profile case such as this, for this procedure to be in place.
The autopsy takes place today. - But until official confirmation, the cause of death is stated: ‘unknown’.
The untimely and sudden death of Michael Jackson poses many questions…
“This is such a massive loss on so many levels - Words fail me”. -

A last minute plea bargain has been accepted against Chris Brown, 19, and the state in the singer’s assault case against singer Rihanna Fenty.
Chris Brown has been ordered to serve 5 years probation and 180 days of service as his punishment for the attack on ‘Umbrella’ singer Rihanna, 20. Brown is also required to attend domestic violence classes.
Rihanna had discussed the plea bargain with prosecutors and after the hearing her attorney said: “Rihanna believes this is a fair and just resolution to this case.”
This was agreed through a last minute plea bargain. It was either that, or go to trial and face the possibility of a four year stretch for assault if he were to be found guilty.
Judge Patricia M. Schnegg was presiding over the court for the preliminary hearing when she said: “Do we have a deal?”
When asked if he wanted to plead ‘guilty’ to the charge of assault instead of facing the possibility of four years in prison, Brown said, “Yes, ma’am”, which he then repeated several times.
Brown does not live in California. His main address is in Virginia. So he will be on supervised probation while he serves out his 180 days that were set by the judge.
She also stated that: “I will allow Mr. Brown to do his 180 days of service in Virginia”
“California law requires that he comes back every three months to show progress,” she continued. “Is that what you want to do, Mr. Brown?” To which he replied “Yes,” giving his full name and date of birth to the court.
Brown was also ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, but the judge accepted that in certain circumstances such as a music event, this would be difficult and then stated that in these instances the distance would be reduced to 10 yards.
Rihanna attended the court hearing wearing dark glasses and was led in through a back entrance, once Brown was ushered out.
Brown will attend court again on August the 5th for formal sentencing. -

Chris Brown, 19, had pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault and threatening behaviour upon his singer, girlfriend, Rihanna when he originally appeared in court.
‘The criminal complaint against Brown states that in an alleged incident in February, Brown “did willfully and unlawfully commit an assault on ROBYN F. by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury.”
The second count states that Brown “did willfully and unlawfully threaten to commit a crime which would result in death and great bodily injury to ROBYN F., with the specific intent that the statement be taken as a threat.” The complaint alleges that Rihanna “was reasonably in sustained fear of her safety and the safety of her immediate family.”
Following the heinous domestic assault on singer, Rihanna (Robin Rihanna Fenty), 20, a couple of months ago by singer/songwriter boyfriend, Chris Brown, 19, US radio stations began pulling his tunes left right and centre.
Jay-Z, fuming when he learnt of the assault, said: “He’s a walking dead man” –
Brown was charged with assault and making criminal threats when he appeared in court. He was released on bail of $50, 000 to return for sentencing this month.
The attack occurred on February 8th in the early hours of the morning after the couple had attended a Pre-Grammy party.
Brown turned on the 20 year old, Barbados born singer, Rihanna, as they were driving in his rented Lamborghini.
The incident happened when Rihanna read out a lengthy 3 page text that she had found on his phone supposedly from a former girlfriend.
Brown got her in a headlock till she nearly passed out, banged her head hard against the car door, punched her and bit her fingers.
She was covered in bruises, had a split lip, bite marks on her arm and fingers and a badly swollen face with black eyes. Brown also tried to push Rihanna out of the car.
Brown is reported to have said: “You just did the stupidest thing ever” “I’m going to kill you”. “I’m going to beat the shit out of you when we get home” -
The dashboard was splattered with blood and Rihanna needed hospital treatment following the brutal, unprovoked attack upon her.
Chris Brown was then put up as a Nominee for Nickelodeon’s ‘Kid’s Choice Awards’, despite the felony charges lodged against the volatile singer.
He was nominated for favourite male singer and for favourite song with: “Kiss Kiss”, up alongside Rihanna, for “Don’t Stop the Music”, who police concurred, was the victim of, biting, punching and attempted choking by Brown. -
Directed by Paul Greengrass, and starring Matt Damon. The production year is 2007. The Bourne Ultimatum is a film in the Action/adventure spy/thriller Genre. It is the third in the series of the Bourne trilogy. The first being the Bourne Identity, and the second The Bourne Supremacy. The film is based on the Bourne trilogy books written by Robert Ludlum.
During the frantic action of the film there there are some great stunts and chases to watch out for, on rooftops, and motor cycle, car, and on foot. The fight scenes are excellent, with prolonged chasing, where the camera work once again gives you the feel you are in with the action.
There are some excellent chase scenes shot in Morrocco, with Bourne leaping over rooftops to escape, and crashing through windows. You are feeling Bournes stressful avoidance of capture, as the music mounts, you are on the edge of your seat, with your heart of your mouth.
-Synopsis-
Jason Bourne ( Matt Damon) the main protagonist, plays a CIA assassin on the run from the government. He is a man with a mission, and a bad case of Amnesia. He is on a constant search for his true identity, and the missing link. The CIA think he is ‘the source’ of a leak divulging top secret information on operation ‘Treadstone’, which has been re-named ‘Blackbriar’ as it’s need for secrecy escalated. The CIA issue orders for hit man ‘The Asset’ to find Bourne and eliminate him. Noah Vosen (David Strathhairn) plays CIA Deputy Director, and he brings in Pamela Landy ( Joan Allen) to assist, and if needs be, be the fall guy if all goes wrong.
Bourne has meanwhile heard British Political Journalist Simon Ross ( Paddy Considine) who works for the Guardian Newspaper, he is speaking on television about the evidence he has uncovered regarding operation Treadstone, and consequently, Jason Bourne’s past. The CIA realise Simon Ross is in fact ‘the source’, and issue orders to find and kill both of them, as they are convinced they have, or definitely will, make contact, and at no cost can the CIA have operation Treadstones true purpose uncovered, and during the duration of this film we observe Bourne evading, and outmaneuvering, the deadliest CIA group of highly-trained killers to date.
The film opens with a scene of Bourne being chased through the streets of London by the police, and finally escaping into the labyrinth of the Waterloo subway. - The fast pace of the opening sequence is frantic with accompanying music in keeping with the frenzied feel of the footage, and the busy sound of the London traffic, with the crowded streets and scurrying people. The cameras change hurriedly between the screeching traffic, and the Actors. This is fast paced, picture postcard snippets of the story, given in flash back clips, and present day, hardly giving you time to breathe, you are just caught up in the excitement of the fantastic, slick direction of the opening sequence to this film, whilst over and over again, we hear “Will you commit to this programme?” ringing in our ears.
The hard hitting roller coaster pace just doesn’t let up, it was a good twenty minutes before I could finally relax for a second, and draw breath, it was just sheer excitement and visual concentration all the way. The direction was superb. It’s probably the best spy thriller I have seen. I love Espionage themed films, and although there is no intricate storyline here, the the Bourne ultimatum demands your concentration at every turn.
It is fast! You have to keep up. The camera jumps between characters in dramatic close up mode. The whole film relies a lot on the close up, and this works very well, giving an intimate feel to the proceedings. Bourne ultimatum demands your concentration at every turn.
During the action of the film there there are some great stunts, and chases to watch out for, on rooftops, and motor cycle, car, and on foot. The fight scenes are excellent, with prolonged chasing, where the camera work once again gives you the feel you are in with the action. There are some excellent chase scenes in Morrocco, with Bourne leaping over rooftops to escape, and crashing through peoples windows. You are feeling Bournes stressful avoidance of capture, as the music mounts, you are on the edge of your seat, with your heart of your mouth.
The Cinematography is brilliant, with use of jerky hand held camera effect, giving a feel of the viewer following the character, observing at close range, fly on the wall type voyeurism. This works well and takes you into the action and the heart of the film with the frame trembling and blurred focus, and at times the Actor being partly obscured by objects or by another person. It somehow seems more like real life and not so much as if you are watching a film, more like participating in it, and eavesdropping on the conversations.
The camera work is very close up on the actors faces, and it goes out of focus and distorts at times, giving a surreal feel to parts of the film, as the music warps and slows down. Most of the film is set in close-ups. The quickness of the change of shots adds excitement to the action, and the camera is never quite steady, the frame shakes, giving the feel of a home movie being shot, and the even rhythmed beat and quickening pace , and volume of the music builds great tension and suspense to the unfolding scenes.
The roles are perfectly cast, and the acting superb. This is one hell of a film and at no point did I feel anything in the film could have been improved upon. It is one of the slickest productions I have seen in a long time. I am not easy to please and can lose concentration easily (short attention span) But the Bourne Ultimatum had me totally enthralled from the very opening sequence. It is a dazzling display of fast paced action. Bourne travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier and New York in search of his true identity, and the killer of his girlfriend. The film is shot against some wonderful backdrops, though you don’t get to see too much of the scenery, as this film is all action with no padding.
It is totally action packed from start to finish, the music never lets up, and plays a very large part in this film, building tension and adding to the mounting excitement of the viewer.
Matt Damon is brilliant in the role of CIA trained lethal assassin Jason Bourne. His acting is excellent, and he delivers the right mix of hardened murderer, and lost soul. He is a man without a past, and his need for closure and confirmation as to who he really is, is moving. He gives a polished and skillful performance, and you have total empathy with the man who searches for the source of his true identity. He battles between his killer instincts, and his true hidden self. His sense of calm, and quick thinking in dangerous situations, have you with him every step of the way. It’s all split second decision making going on before your eyes, and I was so caught up in the action, with it’s twists and turns, that my stomach was in a knot! - The film focuses quite a lot on the theme of Bournes identity in this sequel, and you see Bourne struggle with his knowledge that he has killed, and yet he doesn’t know the reason why.
The mix of Actors is spot on, and the quality of their performances are 1st class, and they interact well with each other within the storyline. Paul Greengrass’s direction is fantastic. In Bourne Ultimatum he has really upped the ante and made this film his own. His style and authority is etched upon this film. His use of tension building is expert, and is used to maximum effect to give the viewer a sense of being on a roller coaster ride. He takes you to the top of the stress sphere and back down again with a jolt.
This is a high quality, action packed, whirlwind of a movie, it takes you deep into the film with it’s use of hand held camera techniques. The brilliantly staged action scenes will have your heart racing. This is lightening paced story, with violence, stunning chases, and stunts. It is non stop, thrill a minute, great Cinema, and in conclusion I can say Paul Greengrass has more than stamped his own identity on this trilogy. Cinematographer Oliver Wood returns once again on this film, from the Bourne Supremacy, and stuns us with his use of camera techniques and fast cuts. This is very much a part of the relentless pace of the film, and adds to the rise and fall of tension and excitement. His use of the close up mode has been used to great effect to give us the feel of observing over the shoulder of the Actor, bringing us to the very core of the action.
-In Conclusion-
This is a superior quality, fully loaded, value for money film, and it will keep you engaged, and gripped throughout. It’s by far and away the best film I have seen in quite a while. The acting is superb, and the action is constant throughout the film. It’s superbly directed, and this is a great ending to this Trilogy, and definitely the best of the Three. In this age of the three-quels, this has got to be the best one out there, and I recommend Bourne Ultimatum 100%. It’s the ‘Must See’ Movie of 2007. The BBFC rating is 12 A, and it contains moderate violence. The running time is 111 minutes. -
‘The Bourne Ultimatum was released on August 3, 2007 where it grossed $69.2 million in ticket sales in its first weekend of release. By the end of August 2007, the film was said to be on track to exceed the international box office gross of the first two films in the trilogy.’
