Michael Jackson:
Embattled pop star Michael Jackson wears a prosthetic nose and once paid $150,000 for a "voodoo curse" to kill director Steven Spielberg despite being deep in debt, Vanity Fair magazine reports.
Madonna:
Singer, actor, now writer -- Madonna has taken up the pen. The raunchy pop star, which has already done an explicit sex book, is branching out into children's books. She has signed a publishing deal with Penguin for five titles. They're already written and will be illustrated for young readers age 6 and older, the publisher says.
Martha Stewart:
Nothing looks different. The beautiful monthly magazine continues to enlighten readers about projects like transforming garden planters into blanket chests. Its special wedding edition, fat with ads, still advises on how to fashion a faux gardenia boutonniere made of Ultra suede. On her TV show the other morning, there was the lady herself, browning the topping of "a very special lemon meringue cake" (six layers of cake, five of homemade lemon curd, plus the whites of 16 eggs) with a small blowtorch. Really.
I do not know which frightens me more, Michael Jackson taking a bath in the blood of 43 cows or Martha Stewart with a blow torch. Madonna writing a kids book, well, I reserve comment on that one. The books would have to be published and I would have to read them before saying anything other than I am really amazed. It just doesn't seem her style.
Isn't it great to be just one of the average, normal people running around trying to make a living and not under the scrutiny of the press?
