Shawne Merriman Says Girlfriend Tila "Tequila" Nguyen was Drunk, He Was Trying to Keep her Safe

While the sh** has started flying. San Diego Chargers superstar Shawne Merriman has finally spoken up about his recent arrest, telling FoxSports.com that his girlfriend Tila Tequila was drunk and he was only trying to keep her safe. Right and the Earth is square!

"On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.

"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California.

"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers." Source: TMZ

Not to be outdone, Tila reportedly turned to Twitter to get her response out. She twittered a response to Shawne's allegations -- saying there's no way she could have been drunk because, "I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila "Tequila" cuz the irony. I cant drink."  Well, I guess this means their relationship has bitten the dust. Why do these men like to put their hands on their women? Amazing.

Whitney Houston's Voice Cracks During Central Park Comeback Show to Air on "Good Morning America," She Blames Oprah

Whitney Houston has proven once again that she is a diva (not in a good way) when she tried to blame being on the Oprah Winfrey Show, which she taped on Monday to air September 14th, for her horrible first public singing performance in Central Park, New York earlier today. She reportedly told the crowd at Rumsey Playfield, where she was singing as part of a segment to run on tomorrow's "Good Morning America" show. She wasn't woman or adult enough to admit her own shortcomings.

Ms. Houston needs to admit the truth about her disgraceful performance -- the years of drug abuse. She sang four songs, including her oldie "My Love is Your Love" and her new single "Million Dollar Bill."Anyone listening could tell that this woman was having serious problems staying on key. Her voice cracked repeatedly. As the New York Daily News puts it, "Houston treated the highest notes the same way drivers with new cars treat pot holes."She couldn't even sing the choruses of her songs. She left that up to her back-up singers and the audience. Sorry, but if this is any indication of what is to come from Ms. Houston, then I am sad to say that she has lost her mojo. I remember back in the day when her voice soared through the stratosphere in her prime. Patti Labelle is 65 years old and yes, she can still hold a note.

Sorry Whitney, I guess I won't "I Look To You" for a phenomenal return after a long hiatus. I give her credit for releasing a new album, but I can't say I am looking forward to another horrible performance.

Prince Michael Malahi Jet Jackson, 24, Claims to be Long Lost Love Child of the Late Michael Jackson

Brace yourselves. Another Michael Jackson love child has surfaced. Prince Michael Malahi Jet Jackson, 24, has come forward this week claiming to to be a long lost love child of Michael Jackson ahd his attorney, LaRue Grim claims he isn't motivated by money. You will recall there was a lot of news swirling around the paternity of Omer Bhatti recently.

"Malachi has been told his entire life that he is Michael Jackson's son. His primary goal is to have closure on whether or not Michael was his father, and he wants a DNA test to prove it. Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, who goes by Malachi, turns 25 in September, and is currently enrolled in "a special needs college at an undisclosed location."

Grim says Malachi's mother, Zerline Lavette Dixon, had trouble with drugs so Malachi's grandmother raised him. But, you know who his long-lost dad is. "Malachi looks exactly like Michael Jackson," Grim added. Really, which version of Michael Jackson does he resemble?

"I'm seeking a DNA test and I'm very concerned that it be reliable and that no one slips in DNA from a stranger. Malachi never met Michael ... from what I understand Michael Jackson was very private about his personal life." The attorney was asked about the alleged relationship
between Zerline and Michael, and the response was: "I don't know about that now. I'm gathering that information." According to Grim, back in the 1980s Zerline was a fashion designer and had a fashion line under the company name of Michael Jackson.

"Michael seemed to be a very smart businessman. I don't think he would have let anybody run a company with his name on it without his approval." Funny, isn't Michael Jackson the same person who, according to Mark Lester, asked him to donate sperm because of his own idiosyncrasies? This is nothing but hogwash.

Is the Mystery Woman who Aided Murderer Ryan Jenkins Evade Law Enforcement for the Death of Jasmine Fiore, Actress Paulina Chmielecka?

The RCMP has identified the "mystery" woman who checked in scumbag fugitive Ryan Jenkins into the Thunderbird Motel where he was later found dead in an apparent suicide on Sunday in Hope. Though the police did not reveal the woman's identity, it has been reported by TMZ that the motel manager Kevin Walker said that he is "100% sure" that woman was model and former fiancee to Jenkins, Paulina Chmielecka.  The police said that she isn't the woman they are seeking. They have described the woman as a "person of interest" in the investigation. Jenkins, a Canadian and a former reality show contestant, was accused of killing his ex-wife, Jasmine Fiore, in a case that triggered an international manhunt. This guy is proof that being wealthy doesn't automatically make you a decent, law-abiding person. There are many rich dirtbags in our midst -- male and female.

The manager of the Thunderbird Motel, Kevin Walker, said a woman checked in on Aug. 20, saying she needed a room for at least three days, maybe longer, and paid cash through Sunday. Outside, a man waited in a PT Cruiser with Alberta licence plates. Walker couldn’t remember the woman’s name and said RCMP have seized the slip of information she filled out for the hotel room. He could see there was a man in the vehicle but thought nothing of the fact he didn’t come in, he said.

Walker has since told TMZ.com that he is "100% sure" that woman was model and former fiancee to Jenkins, Paulina Chmielecka, though investigators are reportedly saying she's not the woman in question. Police on Monday did not confirm whether the woman in question is Chmielecka.

After entering the motel room, the mystery woman described as as being in her early to mid-20s stayed for about 20 minutes, then left. On Sunday, when no one came to check out by the required time of 11 a.m., Walker went to the room and discovered the body.

The accused killer was found hanging inside a room at the Thunderbird Motel, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office. The district attorney’s office has no intention of charging anybody else with the murder of Jenkins' ex-wife, Los Angeles swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore, said district attorney spokeswoman Farrah Emami. Source: The Vancouver Sun

Jenkins, 32, was charged Aug. 20 in California with the murder of Fiore, 28, whose mutilated body was discovered in a trash receptacle on Aug. 15 in Buena Park, Calif., about 30 kilometers southeast of Los Angeles. I am just sorry that this dirtbag wasn't found alive so that he could be brought to justice. He took the easy way out and left nothing but devastation for Ms. Fiore's family and his.

LA Times: "Lethal Levels" of Anesthetic Propofol Killed Singer Michael Jackson

It is a sad commentary that Michael Jackson led such a tormented life. The fallout from his death continues. According to a search warrant obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the late singer had lethal levels of Propofol in his system when he died. The report states that Dr. Conrad Murray told cops he had been treating Jackson for six weeks for insomnia and giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV. He also told the cops that he feared Jackson was getting addicted so he reduced the dosage to 25 mg and reportedly mixed it with two other sedatives -- lorazepam and midazolam. On June 23, two days before Jackson's death, he reportedly administered those two medications and withheld the propofol.

On the morning Jackson died, Murray tried to induce sleep without using propofol, according to the affidavit. He said he gave Jackson valium at 1:30 a.m. When that didn't work, he said, he injected lorazepam intravenously at 2 a.m. At 3 a.m., when Jackson was still awake, Murray administered midazolam. Over the next few hours, Murray said he gave Jackson various drugs. Then at 10:40 a.m., Murray administered 25 milligrams of propofol after Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug, according to the court records.

Although Murray acknowledged to police that he administered propofol, authorities said they could find no evidence that he had purchased, ordered or obtained the medication under his medical license or Drug Enforcement Administration tracking number. However, police detectives saw about eight bottles of propofol in the house along with other vials and pills that had been prescribed to Jackson by Dr. Murray, Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger.

Other drugs that were confiscated in the search included valium, tamsulosin, lorazepam, temazepam, clonazepam, trazodone and tizanidine. They also found propofol in Murray’s medical bag. Murray told detectives that he was not the first doctor to administer the powerful anesthetic to Jackson.

Murray said he noticed injection marks on Jackson’s hands and feet. When he asked Jackson about them, the pop star told him he had been given a “cocktail” to help him. In addition to Murray, authorities subpoenaed medical records from Dr. Arnold Klein, Dr. Allan Metzger and Dr. David Adams, the affidavit states. They also asked for medical records from Dr. David Slavitt, who conducted the independent medical examination of Jackson for Anschuntz Entertainment Group, Dr. Randy Rosen and nurse practitioner Cherilyn Lee. They also subpoenaed records from Dr. Mark Tadrissi, who stored medical records with Adams.

Jackson’s doctor told authorities he left Jackson’s bedside for no more than two minutes before returning to find the pop star not breathing. Jackson reportedly fell asleep at 10:40 a.m. Source: LA Times

This is, indeed, a very sad end to a life that had an impact on so many people across this world. I don't want to blame his family for his downfall, but I have to wonder if they couldn't have done more to help Michael Jackson, rather than use him as their meal ticket. It is equally amazing that Dr. Arnold Klein said on the Larry King Show that he repeatedly told Michael Jackson that propofol was a dangerous drug, but it seems that there is some evidence that he clearly knew more than he professed.
