On Tuesday, Judge Mitchell Beckloff rebuffed Joseph Jackson's bid to block the appointment of attorney John Branca and music exec John McClain to the position of co-executors of Michael Jackson's estate, saying that the family patriarch had no standing on the matter because he was not named a beneficiary in his son's will.
Joseph Jackson had raised an objection to the judge appointing the two men to the official position of executors, filing court papers on Monday claiming that Michael believed Branca and McClain were defrauding him, according to the Los Angeles Times. Joseph, who was cut out of his son's will, also asked the estate to cover more than $20,000 a month in living expenses, claiming that he is entitled to the "same manner" of support as his estranged wife, »

'That would be fun, but, I think that's kind of against the protocol,' 'Twilight' star says.

Drew Barrymore was 7 years old when she first hosted "Saturday Night Live." Macaulay Culkin was 11; Jodie Foster was 14, and Lindsay Lohan was 17. Heck, this past weekend, Taylor Swift reached an industry milestone when she hosted and appeared as a musical guest at the age of 19.
And the question Twilighters everywhere are asking — especially after last week's hilarious "Firelight" Digital Short — is why hasn't Robert Pattinson hosted "SNL" yet?
"I don't know what the actual details of it," the 23-year-old British heartthrob told MTV News, acknowledging the fans' increasingly vocal lobbying (including Web sites and petitions) for him to follow in the footsteps of everyone from Steve Martin to Justin Timberlake. "But I'm terrified of doing stuff like that."

Not many child stars - not even Macaulay Culkin - get to romp (sans parents) with the Wild Things. Unknown child actor, Max Records, 12, was plucked from obscurity in Portland, Oregon, to star as the young hero in Spike Jonze's buzzed-about Where the Wild Things Are, hitting theaters Friday. He plays opposite the larger-the-life, Muppet-like creatures known as the Wild Things, unpredictable animals living by themselves on an island, based on Maurice Sendak's seminal 1960's kids' book.

As a television show, Kings was grandiose. It was more akin to a 12 episode feature film than a scripted drama. After all, how many other shows could have created a universe with so much depth in only half of a season?
Unfortunately, Kings couldn't find a large enough audience. Perhaps because it was too different. Perhaps because the language (a mixture of modern speech and Shakespearean language) was confusing. The cancellation of the series was unfortunate, because I don't know the next time we'll see a show filled with so many talented actors and rich storylines.
Fortunately, NBC Universal has put out the complete series on DVD and if you were a fan of this show, you should buy this set.
Kings was originally billed as a modern-day David and Goliath story. As a matter of fact, one of its main characters was named David Shepherd (Chris Egan). David is »

I've been wanting to see the concept for The Home come to life in brilliant flashing images on a silver screen ever since I first heard it. Just think: a mentally and physically scarred firefighter, a house that manifests itself and torments all the elderly people inside, and the inevitable sequel The Home Alone wherein Macaulay Culkin goes insane inside a living house that doesn't like having paint cans hung from its rafters. It's one of the more innovative horror concepts I've heard tale of in a while, so of course I'm keeping an ear to the ground for any developments. So far, it's about where it was during the last update. Weta is still involved, Elijah Wood is still one of the producers, but now he's at least claiming he wants a 2009 start date. During an interview with Attack of the Show, Wood discussed his role in 9 and told Olivia Munn and crew some background for »

Now that Michael Jackson has been laid to rest, it's time to bury something else: the baby-daddy story. Michael Jackson was his children's parent. He was his children's father. For all intents and purposes, he was the baby daddy. Time to move along, folks. Nothing to see here. What about Arnold Klein? What about Mark Lester? What about Macaulay Culkin? What about them? Culkin was dragged into the story by a denounced British tabloid report. Time to move along, folks. And even though Klein and Lester thrust themselves into the story with talk of their generous contributions, so to speak, there is still nothing to see here. Klein and Lester, sperm donors... »

More than two months after he was pronounced dead on June 25, the singer has finally been laid to rest in a private ceremony on Thursday, September 3 at Holly Terrace in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
