Michael Jackson 911 Tape: "He's Not Breathing...He Needs Help!"

It's the call Michael Jackson fans have dreaded hearing.
E! News has obtained the tape of the chilling 911 call relayed by one of the pop icon's handlers at 12:21 p.m. Thursday requesting emergency assistance after Jackson suffered his fatal cardiac arrest.
The unidentified caller immediately requests an ambulance and gives the address of the 50-year-old singer's rented Holmby Hills mansion. Without giving Jackson's name, the caller tells the dispatcher that Jackson had collapsed and appeared to be lifeless.
Caller: Uh, sir, I have—we have, uh, a gentleman here that needs help, and he's not breathing. He's not breathing and we need to—we're trying to pump him, but he's not. . .He's not.911 Operator: OK, how old is he?Caller: He's 50-years-old, sir.911 Operator: 50? OK. He's unconscious, he's not breathing?Caller: Yes. He's not breathing, sir.
Moments laters, the increasingly anxious caller tells the dispatcher that Jackson's personal phyiscian—later identified as Conrad Robert Murray—was performing CPR but the music legend remained unresponsive.
The dispatcher asks the caller if the doctor saw what happened, at which point a voice is heard in the background shouting, "They need to come!"
Caller: Sir, if you just, uh, um, if you can please—911 Operator: We're on our way, we're on our way, I'm just passing these questions on to my, uh, paramedics that are on the way there, sir.Caller: Thank you, sir. He's pumping, he's pumping his chest, but he's not responding to anything, sir, please.

Michael Jackson, Pop's Thrilling King, Dead at 50

Jackson suffered a heart attack around noon, according to father Joe Jackson, and never recovered. He was prounced dead at 2:26 p.m., officials said.

Nothing official cause of death will be announced until after an autopsy is performed, but doctors have indicated that Michael Jackson indeed died after suffering cardiac arrest this afternoon.
"My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 p.m." brother Jermaine Jackson told the media gathered outside Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center shortly before 6:30 p.m.
"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known."
Jermaine continued: "The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother. As did paramedics who transported him" to the hospital.
"Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 p.m., a team of doctors, including emergency phsyicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of one hour and they were unsuccessful.
"Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time, and may Allah be with you Michael, always."
Craig Harvey, a spokesman for the L.A. County Department of Coroner, said that Jackson's body is expected to be transported from the hospital to their office sometime tonight.
An autopsy could be performed as early as Friday, but the full extent of the coroner's findings will not be available for several weeks, when the results of toxicology tests come back.
Because Jackson was not under the care of any UCLA doctor for a particular condition at the time of his death, the job of signing off on his death certificate goes to the coroner's office..m., officials said.

No one—and we mean no one—was ready for this. But the tributes to Michael Jackson, the pioneering pop-rock artist who died today at the tragically premature age of 50, started pouring in immediately.
And the flood isn't likely to dissipate anytime soon, as evidenced merely by the throngs of fans who lined the street outside UCLA Medical Center, where the King of Pop was pronounced dead shortly after suffering a massive heart attack.
Quincy Jones, who produced Jackson's seminal album Thriller and many more hits, was one of the first to publicly react to his longtime friend and colleague's passing.
"I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news," the 76-year-old mogul said. "For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80's. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.
"He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him."

Lady GaGa - 2009 Much Music Awards style

Lady GaGa rocked Toronto last night! International Video of the Year winner dazzled 2009 Much Music Awards audience and Toronto citizens with her super futuristic and outlandish outfits before and at the music awards ceremony.
Before the show GaGa was spotted out and about in the city wearing strange but cool outfits.
I loved her black leather jacket with red stilettos instead of the collar. It’s the most unusual and original jacket I’ve ever seen [I can understand the reaction of the girl to the left].
She was also seen wearing a deep fuchsia leotard with a kind of an inflatable collar that looked as if a buoy was placed inside.

The ugliest outfit of the day is definitely this silver poncho. Looks as if it’s made of the sponge my granny used for washing frying pans.

To receive the International Video of the Year - Artist award for ‘Poker Face’ Lady GaGa put on a 1920s style fringe dress and matching color headband. Looked sexy, do you agree?
While performing live at the show the breakthrough singer put on a metal embellished leotard and all so metal high boots. During the performance pyrotechnics go off from her bustier amazing the audience and actually scaring me. I was worried for GaGa’s hair, you?

The most Lady GaGa-conventional outfit the singer donned this weekend was a see though tight top, a leather bra and super tight black leggings and heels she was wearing during the show rehearsals. That was her demure look of the weekend as it turned out later.

Everything that you see me do is in some way taken and inspired by these visions in my brain that happen because of the way I live my life,” Lady GaGa said in one of her recent interviews. “So I just live and breathe art every day, and I consider myself to be a performance artist. Every time you see me, it’s performance. When I’m sleeping, it’s performance.”

Lindsay Lohan: Pool Party Plans for 23rd Birthday

Lindsay Lohan doesn't turn 23 until July 2, but she's getting the party started early this weekend in Sin City.
The actress is hosting a Vegas poolside soiree at Wet Republic on Saturday to celebrate her birthday and her Sevin Nyne sunless tanner.
Hopefully, the police won't be making a surprise appearance, as they've done at her L.A. pad lately.
Yesterday morning around 4 a.m., cops cited LiLo for excessive noise. This wasn't the first time she's been told to quiet down...
The night Linds was hanging with Ryan Seacrest, X17 reports that police came to her crib around 3:30 a.m. after neighbors complained about loud music.
We doubt any Vegas cops will rain on LiLo's party parade this weekend!

It's Over: Jon & Kate File for Divorce

A little TLC did not go a long way for Jon and Kate Gosselin.
The reality-TV stars, long rumored to be on the rocks after 10 years of marriage, filed divorce papers Monday afternoon in Reading, Pa., People reports.
A "special announcement" is scheduled for tonight's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8—the fourth hour of what has proved to be an emotionally tense fifth season—but the court documents played spoiler instead.
"Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate," Kate said during the record-setting season premiere. "I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don't know if I can say that anymore."
The news comes several days after Jon was spotted apartment hunting in New York. He and Kate have been spending the majority of their time apart over the past month, with Jon sticking closer to their suburban Pennsylania home while Kate took the kids on vacation in North Carolina, after which each continued to play single-ish parent in front of the cameras.

Jon & Kate: "We Don't Have Anything Now"

The courts may call it a divorce, but Jon and Kate Gosselin are calling it a "new chapter."
The besieged reality-TV parents spent the second half of Monday's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 glossing over explaining their decision to separate, made official today when they started divorce proceedings in Reading, Pa.
"We haven't really known where we're going but we've been dealing with this for a long time," said Kate, 34, after she and Jon managed to get through the construction of the kids' new playhouses without actually interacting.
"It's the next chapter—not a chapter that's been brought on by our show, not a chapter that's been caused by our career choices at all. I believe that it's a chapter that probably would have played out had the world been watching or not."
Both ultimately tried to look on the bright side, for the sake of their kids (and cable posterity), but not before Jon called the situation "a total breakdown of everything."

Robert Pattinson, Take a Bath

Any old celebrity can inspire a petition.
Then there's Robert Pattinson. He can—and does—inspire petitions. Very plural.
Pattinson fans, it seems, aren't content to merely wave at their object of affection—as the screaming hordes who supposedly prompted the Twilight star to hurl his white-hot self in front of an oncoming New York City cab suggest.
No, they want to help, advise and even bathe their man.
Here's a sampling of the Pattinson petitions, in case, you know, you're looking for a worthy cause to support:
• "Robert Pattinson come to Tampa, FL for a meet & greet"
Sadly, there's no evidence this one succeeded. (Yet.) But there's no harm in trying. Or asking. As those lobbying for Pattinson appearances in Australia and Kansas City should agree. (Note to Mr. Pattinson regarding the Kansas City petition: No idea if you're being asked to pop into Kansas City, Kan., or Kansas City, Mo. Guess you'll have to do both to shore up support in the Midwest.)
• "Please Wash Your Hair, Robert Pattinson"
It's unclear when this respectful plea—"We, the undersigned, hereby beg you to wash your hair. We also petition that you then, once you have washed your hair, wash it routinely thereafter, at least once every few days, with shampoo."—was launched. Was it after Pattinson showed off his dirty hair in Dossier? Or after Pattinson talked about his dirty hair to Extra? In any case, the anti-dirty hair movement is apparently not as hot as Pattinson's dirty hair. At last check, there were just 57 signees for the above petition. Make that, 57 ardent signees. Writes No. 51: "Damn straight, it needs washing."
• "Petition to get Robert Pattinson to take a bath!!! Who's with me?"
To answer the above question, the person who wrote "Take a bath, stinky!" is with you. (Maybe time to join forces with the shampoo pushers?)
• "Twilight on SNL, Robert Pattinson as Host"
With more than 5,000 signees, and a blog to boot, this is one of the largest Pattinson petitions out there. Sadly, for its supporters, it's been as successful as the bath one. As Saturday Night Live viewers can attest, Pattinson did not host the show last season. Signatures, however, are still being added. And another SNL season is looming. An NBC rep says no guest hosts, dirty haired or not, are locked in yet.
• "Let Robert Pattinson Use Accent In New Moon"
Question: If Pattinson took a bath, washed his hair and sounded like a proper Brit in the Twilight sequel, would we even recognize him?
• "Against Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen"
Um, this petition, which attracted 725 signees, is now closed.
