The Bellamy Brothers to Britney Spears: You Ripped Off Our Song!

And here we thought Britney Spears was merely ripping off a cheesy old pickup line with the lyrics to her newest #1 single, "Hold It Against Me."

Well, The Bellamy Brothers, singers of "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold It Against Me," claim it's their cheesy line dammit!

The country duo says it has "no personal beef" with Britney, however, "in all honesty, we feel completely ripped off. Where's the originality?"

LOL. She hasn't had any of that in years, but that doesn't mean she's to blame here. Anyway, the Bellamys aren't going to sue, they're just pissed.

Did Michael Jackson Subject Blanket to Unnecessary Anesthesia?

A fatal dose of the anesthetic Propofol led to the demise of Michael Jackson, and Dr. Conrad Murray will be tried for involuntary manslaughter as a result.

Part of Murray's defense may be Jackson pressuring, even begging him for drugs. While this story is separate, it may speak to MJ's power of persuasion.

According to a TMZ report, Michael subjected one of his kids - Blanket - to the same kind of risky, unorthodox medical treatment that later killed him.

In 2008, Michael reportedly cajoled a Las Vegas dentist into performing a procedure on Blanket in which he was put under anesthesia for two hours in a dental office.

An office that did not have the necessary permit for anesthesia.

The Nevada Board of Dental Examiners kept records of MJ's interactions with Dr. Mark Tadrissi, who initially refused to work on Blanket due to the lack of permit.

According to the Board's investigator, MJ didn't want to hear about permits and told the doctor, "Have an anesthesiologist do whatever type of sedation required."

Tadrissi capitulated and performed the two-hour procedure on Blanket, who was just six at the time. An anesthesiologist had Blanket sedated the entire time.

Here's where it gets even weirder.

The Board learned of Tadrissi's actions after Michael died and initiated disciplinary action against Tadrissi for allowing Blanket to be anesthetized in his office.

The Board also went after Dr. Tadrissi for allowing Jackson to receive - you guessed it - Propofol in his office, without the proper permit for that drug either.

Dr. Tadrissi was sanctioned in 2010.

In a draft of the report, the Board based sanctions on his treatment of Blanket and Michael. However, in the final version of the report Blanket was absent.

There is no mention of the boy or his treatment.

A source connected with the investigation says pressure was put on the Board to omit Blanket from the report. From who, it's very much unclear.

All that is clear is that Michael Jackson got what he wanted when it came to risky medical procedures, and may have put his youngest at risk.

Holly Madison Slams Crystal Harris, Questions Model's Motives for Marriage

Holly Madison claims she had mixed feelings when she first heard Hugh Hefner was engaged to Crystal Harris.

But, in an interview with Life & Style, the often-naked model has clearly unmixed them, making it clear she does not approve of her ex-boyfriend's impending marriage.

"I'd like to see Hef settle down," Holly told the tabloid. "I just want it to be with the right person, and I feel like he's making a hasty decision. I'm not sure Crystal is the best thing for him."

Referring to her fellow giant-breasted blonde as "mysterious," Holly adds that she's wary of Crystal's intentions:

"I've seen a lot of girls try to date Hef, and some have ulterior motives. I don't think it would be a bad idea for him to get to know her a little better. I think it's possible Crystal could break Hef's heart. They could end up divorcing, and she could take half his money."

Is she jealous that the man she once wanted to marry has asked for the hand of someone else? No. It's simply: "I just don't want it to be a girl who's using him to start her career."

Presumably, the woman who no one had heard before she resided in the Playboy Mansion and who has spun that move into her own reality show, said that with a straight face. Impressive.

Tony Parker on Eva Longoria Split: Difficult Times

Two months after filing for divorce from wife Eva Longoria amid allegations that he was sexting Erin Barry, Tony Parker is finding solace in basketball.

"The most important thing is to stay strong mentally, even if these are very difficult times," Parker told his native France's Le Parisien newspaper.

"I've take refuge in basketball, as it's what I've done best since my youth."

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria were married only a few years.

Parker, whose San Antonio Spurs are having a great year, is trying to "make sense of things" but his teammates stood by him and keep him strong.

The athlete says he appreciates the "support of [my] teammates, coaches and San Antonio." Equally important, he says, "has been my family."

Parker says he's been avoiding reading anything about his marriage. Wonder if that includes Eva reportedly moving on with Eduardo Cruz.

A source says he has been noticeably affected by the split: "He has changed," the source says. "He's extremely guarded when he talks about it."

Mostly, Parker says, he's trying to keep a level head on the court.

"You have to know how to keep things in perspective," he tells Le Parisien. "I am, first of all, a basketball player. I've done this for so very long."

"For me, it's been essential to be successful on the court."

Kim Kardashian on Kris Humphries Relationship: Fun!

When Kourtney & Kim Take New York premieres on January 23, viewers won't see Kim Kardashian snuggling up to new boyfriend Kris Humphries. How come?

"I met him towards the end of filming the show," Kim tells People, speaking out for the first time about the Nets power forward and adding: "I'm having a lot of fun [with him]."

Kris Humphries has received high-fives this year for his play on the court and his action in the bedroom.

Before meeting Humphries, of course, Kardashian dated around. And viewers will see what that means on the upcoming spin-off.

"I'm showing a lot of my dating life, which I've never really done before," she says. "I mean you've seen bits and pieces of my relationships before, but you've never really seen me being single and doing whatever I want to do."

Trust us, Kim, we've seen you in every possible situation. Ray J made sure of that.

Kendra Wilkinson to Go Dancing With the Stars?

Dancing With the Stars may have lost out on its top target in Lindsay Lohan, but sources say another major "get" may be imminent: Kendra Wilkinson.

Kendra was approached by ABC and met with execs, E! reports. "Her personality, combined with her ability to dance, is appealing," a source says.

Off the record, her breasts don't hurt, they probably thought. Also, the quota of at least one former Playboy centerfold per year must be adhered to.

GO KENDRA: Will Mrs. Baskett catch DWTS fever?

Less than a year ago, on the Today show, she didn't mince her words about the reality competition, saying she would likely pass because she's a hands-on mom.

Fast forward 10 months and the money may do the talking for K-Dubs. It's not like they can count on big paydays and job security from Hank. No offense, Hank.

Besides, what better way to stir up fake divorce drama than dancing suggestively with Maksim Chmerkovskiy? In Touch Weekly just started salivating at that.

ABC's official line is that it won't comment on casting rumors, but the new season will kick off in March, so we should hear one way or the other soon.

Lawrence Taylor Cops Plea, Avoids Jail in Rape Case

Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor sex charges today in connection with his arrest in May for soliciting an underage prostitute.

In return for his plea, the former NFL great will avoid jail time and be subject to six years probation. He must also register as a sex offender.

Taylor pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute.

He was arrested last May outside a New York motel and accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl police said had been prostituted against her will.

Taylor told the court that the victim told him she was 19.

Police said he had sex, for which he paid $300, with the 16-year-old whom officials said pimp Rasheed Davis had forced into prostitution.

Police later arrested Davis, who pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking. Taylor was originally charged with felony rape in the case.

Kelsey Grammer Vows: I Am Marrying Kayte Walsh!!!

Your move, legal system.

The attention-loving Real Housewife of Beverly Hills has taken her soon-to-be-ex-husband to court, firing off a response to Kelsey's request for a speedy divorce.

In her legal documents, Camille argues that the sitcom star has not provided sufficient grounds to complete the process, stating he only wants to make the divorce official ASAP (and work out settlement details later) "solely for the reason that he intends to remarry as soon as possible."

Kelsey's response to this accusation? That's damn right!

Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman today, the actor came out and said the following about Kayte Walsh:

"Kayte’s my new girl, and we’re planning to get married soon. Sometime in February."

Let's hope a judge allows him to go through with it. Seriously, Camille, you're gonna get close to over $30 million in a settlement no matter what. Just shut the heck up and get out of our lives already.

50 Cent Tweets Stock Tips, Banks $8.7 Million

Yes, you read both parts of the above headline correctly.

50 Cent made a fortune from rapping, but that doesn't mean he's content to rest on his laurels and Tweet photos of himself with stacks of cash all day.

Okay, well he does do that a fair amount But our point is that 50, a.k.a. Curtis Jackson, is proving quite the businessman in addition to entertainer.

MAKIN' BANK: Chelsea Handler must be attracted to more than his rap skills.

50 Cent recently Tweeted about a penny stock company he's invested in ... one that's up 290 percent since he pitched the stock tip to 3.8 million followers.

"You can double your money right now. Just get what you can afford," 50 tweeted about a Florida company, H&H Imports. "They are no joke get in now."

He received 30 million shares of H&H in a private placement last October, buying portions of his stake at 15 cents, 25 cents and - no kidding - 50 cents.

H&H closed up 29 cents the other day, boosting Jackson's 30 million-share stake by $8.7 million. Might he have a second career as a financial advisor?

This wasn't his first foray into the investment world either.

Earlier this month, Jackson also "personally endorsed" a line of mobile audio products that are made by another Florida company, Sleek Audio, H&H said.

Jackson talked up the headphones when he appeared on TV last week from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. We eagerly await that Tweet.

Oksana Grigorieva on Bribe Allegation: I'm Broke!

Accused of bribing a witness by Mel Gibson's legal team, Oksana Grigorieva says she couldn't bribe anybody if she wanted too ... she couldn't pay for it.

Oksana has categorically denied the claim alleged by Mel's attorneys (via Radar Online) that she tried to bribe a witness in her legal battle with Gibson.

Said her spokesman: “The suggestion is false. She never bribed anyone. She understands the law and has excellent counsel. Besides, she is broke.”

We wouldn't put it past her, but she does have a point.

Yesterday, we reported how lawyers for Gibson, who has alleged that Oksana tried to extort him, plan to present evidence that she tried to bribe a witness.

The individual, whose identity is not yet known, is somehow relevant in both the criminal and family law probes that are ongoing in the couple's skirmish.

Mel also charges that Oksana is malicious and not acting in the best interests of their one-year-old daughter, and should therefore lose custody ASAP.

LeBron James Blames Struggles of Former Team on Karma, God

LeBron James knows why the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Lakers by 55 points last night and why his former team has the worst record in basketball: fans of the franchise are being punished by God for daring to boo the superstar.

We wish we were joking, but LeBron took to Twitter after the Cavs blow out and wrote: Crazy. Karma is a bitch. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

This, of course, would mean that God also watched The Decision and yet has chosen to support James in light of the most egotistical act in the history of professional sports. Weird.

We wish He would stick to forcing Steve Johnson to drop game-winning touchdown passes.

Judge Orders Conrad Murray to Stand Trial in Death of Michael Jackson, Suspends Doctor's License

Dr. Conrad Murray will be tried in the death of Michael Jackson. Judge Michael Pastor said sufficient evidence was presented at the preliminary hearing.

While completely expected, this marks a significant development, as the case against Murray on involuntary manslaughter charges proved compelling.

Deputy D.A. David Walgren told the judge in his closing argument that, "It was not Michael Jackson's time to go" and that Conrad Murray is responsible.

As expected, Dr. Murray will stand trial for MJ's demise.

"Michael Jackson is not here today because of the negligence and reckless acts of Dr. Murray," said Walgren of the defendant, who sat stone-faced.

Walgren said Murray cared more about hiding evidence than helping MJ.

Judge Pastor's ruling followed a six-day preliminary hearing in which more than 20 witnesses were called. Murray's medical license was also suspended.

Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, tells TMZ, "We are disappointed but not surprised. We knew we would be in trial and that's where we're going to end up."

Chernoff's defense theory, that Michael Jackson killed himself, has not fully been extrapolated upon, but he did put out feelers last week and this week.

The D.A. appears ready for it, however, calling a doctor who says that even if Jackson administered the fatal dose, it's still homicide and Murray's fault.

Judge Michael Pastor ordered the suspension as a condition to Dr. Murray's bail. The Medical Board of California asked for the suspension repeatedly.

Dr. Murray has 24 hours to notify the medical boards in Texas and Nevada, where he was licensed to practice up until now, of Judge Pastor's decision.

Murray's team says he needs to work to afford counsel, and believes the move is a power play designed to take away his right to defend himself.

Not likely, as the evidence against him suggests gross mistreatment. It also wasn't revoked, but suspended. If he were acquitted, he'd get it back.

It is worth noting that Murray is still innocent until proven guilty and convicted by a jury of his peers. All this did was establish that a trial is warranted.

Sarah Palin Stalker: She Texted Me First!

The Sarah Palin stalker wants the world to know he's innocent.

His hilarious, dubious explanation? Sarah texted him first!

The father of 19-year-old Shawn Christy says that back in 2009, his son began receiving "ominous" text messages from an unknown number.

The person sending the texts dropped several hints about her identity, including that she's from Alaska and works in politics ... obviously, it was Sarah Palin.

Why would Palin contact some random guy in Pennsylvania? Shawn's dad couldn't explain that part, but they alerted the FBI about these mystery texts.

The bureau didn't investigate Sarah, instead turning on Shawn, gathering evidence against him to secure the restraining order that he's still under.

Shawn's dad says they've spent thousands fighting the protective order to no avail and have since been forced to declare bankruptcy. Really, guys?

Why do you need the order lifted? Just don't go near Sarah Palin. Is that so hard? Besides, Sarah would just Facebook you anyway. Texts? Come on.

Charlie Sheen Bombshell: Possible Michelle McGee Banging!

Given his history of drug use and shady sex, it would take a serious bombshell to surprise us when it comes to Charlie Sheen news.

Enter Michelle McGee!

The Mistress of the Year finalist was reportedly included in the entourage of loose women that spent a drunken 24 hours with the actor in Las Vegas this weekend, as TMZ reports she and Sheen's number-one porn star, Bree Olson, made out during Pauly Shore's comedy show at The Palms on Sunday.

Charlie Sheen may have been caught between Michelle McGee and Bree Olson this week. Literally!

McGee then showed up at Sheen's penthouse that night, arriving around 2 a.m. to a scene that included a lot of alcohol and naked bodies. It was a "trainwreck inside," sources say.

Still, Michelle hung out for a couple hours. No word if Sheen did the same... if you know what we disgustingly mean!
