Tasteless?

OK! magazine spent more than $500,000 on the "last" picture of Michael Jackson on a stretcher and possibly dead -- but was it worth it? A well-placed source says some staffers objected to owner Richard Desmond's decision to put the ghoulish picture on this week's cover -- and it looks like advertisers and readers may agree. The source said, "Media buyers have canceled upcoming meetings to discuss rates. It's a disgrace. They've sunk to a new low."

In addition, Sean Combs and Jay-Z are said to be so furious, "they're organizing a boycott," according to our source. A rep for OK! said, "This is untrue. No one at OK! has been contacted about any such cancellations as a result of the magazine's coverage of this news event. Any pages booked by the advertising team are running as scheduled." Combs' rep echoed, "Not true." Jay-Z's rep didn't return calls.

Dolla Dolla Bills

Early salary figures from Simon Cowell's "American Idol" contract negotiations are leaking out and they're eye-popping.

Cowell, who reportedly made $36 million last year for judging the hit competition show, has been offered three or four times that amount -- between $100 million and $144 million per year -- by co-producers Fox and 19 Entertainment to stick with "Idol" when his contract expires next May, according to The Guardian, a London newpaper.

I'm Back!

I'm back up and running, but I can't promise this won't happen again. I'm going to try to upgrade to the newer version of Movable Type (my publishing system) because it has much better anti-spam software. In the meantime...please be patient!

(And yes, I realize that it couldn't have gone down at a worse time in entertainment news! Grrrr...)

Whoops

Sarah Jessica Parker needs to read her car manual before she drives.

The "Sex and the City" star was pulled over by state troopers on Route 27 in the Hamptons at dusk the other night when cops noticed the lights were off on the Mercedes minivan she was driving with her son, James. "She told him it was a brand-new car and she didn't know how to turn them on," a source said.

"They showed her how and let her go with a warning. Parker, through her rep, said, "The officer was patient and kind."

I get that the source here is the National Enquirer, but every once in awhile, they get something right. I just really hope it isn't this.

Child #4 for Armstrong

Lance Armstrong and girlfriend Anna Hansen welcomed a 7 lb., 5 oz, 20-inch-long baby boy named Max, the pro cyclist announced on his Twitter page Thursday night – or, rather, the little guy announced it himself.

"Wassup, world? My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived. My Mommy is healthy and so am I!" says the post, which includes a photo of the baby in a cap and sticking his tongue out.

In another post, Armstrong includes a photo of the nurse and doctor who helped deliver Max. "They were amazing!!" writes Armstrong.

Mommy Dearest

"My daughter one day decided that she wasn't speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that's how it's continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years. And it was sad, that's what killed my husband, actually. He just didn't want to live after that. He had just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."

--Candy Spelling

Ummm...really nice, Mom. Do you think it had anything to do with the fact that Aaron Spelling was 83 when he died? I'm just sayin'.

Slumdog News


Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle and the trust he set up have bought a new home for one of the child stars of his Oscar-winning movie.

The filmmaker, who is currently in Mumbai, has told Azharuddin Ismail, 9, he will be re-housed after his family was made to leave the slums. Boyle, who has been criticized for not helping the child actors enough, blamed the press for raising expectations. "Inevitably, the tension and pressure is media generated," he said.

He said he hoped a new home would also be found for Rubina Ali, who played Latika, before the monsoon rains in June. "They were given access to a world, an extraordinary and glamorous world, and they understandably want their lives to be completely transformed," he said.

Soon after the movie was finished, Boyle and producer Christian Colson set up the Jai Ho trust, which was aimed to help the children financially until they turned 18. "The homes are a concern. That is one of the reasons why we built the trust," Boyle said. "We have been trying to accelerate the process of re-housing the families, and one of the reasons we set up the trust is to deal with emergencies like this," said Colson.

A director for the trust said the apartment for Ismail, who played the young Salim, was "comfortable, in a good neighbourhood [and] near his school". In February, the state housing authority said it would give the two children apartments, but the families had not heard from them, said Ali's father Rafiq Qureshi.

Earlier this month, the authorities tore the children's slum homes down. Since then Rubina has been staying with relatives and Azhar was living in a makeshift shanty with his parents.
