Gerry Rafferty Passes Away

Gerry Rafferty Picture
Despite the hit songs, Rafferty kept a low profile in recent years. His last album was released in 2000 and he endured struggles with alcohol over the years.
May he rest in peace. Here's the music video for one of Gerry's hits, with the signature saxophone part you've probably heard 100 times but can't place ...

Jillian Harris Has Brad Womack's Back

Jillian Harris says she fully supports Brad Womack getting a second chance on The Bachelor. She might even be feeling a little jealous of him, in fact.
The Bachelorette star chose Ed Swiderski. That didn't work out.
"I won't lie that when I heard he was getting a second chance, I was a bit green-eyed and thought seriously about hitting my [The Bachelor creator] Mike Fleiss speed dial, demanding he cough up my second chance, too," she writes.
Pretty JillianHot Brad Womack
Jillian also commented on the infamous season premiere slap.
"When Chantal slapped Brad on the The Bachelor season premiere, he responded that he liked her more. I had to hold myself back from leaping through the screen to slap him again! Not because he deserved it, but because he didn't!"

"I am very much on the supporting side of this second chance debate. In fact, I'm floored at the pressure put on Brad by himself, the media, and the girls."
"I have learned a lot this year. No one is perfect, sometimes people just aren't ready, and most importantly, everyone deserves a second chance."
"This is why I was going crazy seeing Brad being so hard on himself. In fact, I was actually starting to get a tad annoyed by it. Don't get me wrong, I've had my heart broken and know the hurt my girls Jenni and Deanna felt three years ago."
"But Brad Womack did something you don't see all the time; he went against the rules of the show and just followed the rules of life."
He also follows the narrative written by the show, and that's to harp on the whole "second chance" angle until he's blue in the face.
That way, no one can accuse him of being blase about it, and America can like him again. At least that's how Mike Fleiss drew it up.
For a look at how it works out for him, check out these Bachelor spoilers now ... but beware, there is major information in there.

Just spotted: Keanu Reeves in London...

Keanu Reeves out and about in London, UK.
Lets be honest, Keanu Reeves looked pretty god damn moody when we spotted him strolling through Covent Garden a short while ago, which is pretty ironic seeing as the 46-year-old recently hit out at people who criticise him for his lack of smiling both in and outside of films.Speaking to Elle magazine the Hollywood actor joked about the true meaning of the term ‘happiness’ saying:
“How do I live with any happiness? I’m not living if I don’t have a Golden Retriever! I see articles all over about what is the new happiness.”
Okay Keanu, we can see what you’re doing, you’re going off on a tangent to distract from the original point. Nice try, but we still think you’re a miserable old so and so.

Look, its Lindsay Lohan back in the big wide world again! Hurrah!

Fresh out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan hits up Equinox Gym to get in shape, Los Angeles, California, USA. 04/01/2011
And doesn’t she look good? Yup, rehab certainly seems to have done wonders for the Mean Girls star who was looking smiley, healthy and happy as she made her way to the gym in LA yesterday despite that legal drama which is currently looming over her.Meanwhile after finding out about Samantha Ronson’s angry reaction to the news that she was moving in next door to her, Lindsay Lohan has offered to relocate. She claims she had “no idea” that Sam lived in the house next door to her (uh-ha, yeah sure we believe you) and she added that she’d be only too pleased to move if it made her ex-girlfriend happy.
Yeah we think it kind of would, that’s kind of the point isn’t it?

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift: It's Over!

Good. We were sick of writing the word Swiftenhaal anyway...
Multiple sources confirm that Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have ended their brief romance.
The couple split prior to New Year's Eve, with Gyllenhaal actually being the one to put the kabosh on a romance that began in October.
Couple
"Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested," an insider tells Us Weekly. "He said he wasn't feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got. He also said he could feel the age difference."
After initially attempting to keep its fling private, the duo was spotted out multiple times in December. Most witnesses said they looked very much into each other.

"Taylor is really upset," this source added. "We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn't listen."
Hey, at least it will make good material for a future hit song!

Stalker Much? Lindsay Lohan Living NEXT DOOR to Samantha Ronson; Beach Community Not Happy

Two days out of rehab and Lindsay Lohan is already causing a stir.
Not only might she still face jail time for her little scuffle at Betty Ford, the quiet L.A. beachside community of Venice where she moved is displeased.
Number one on its list of ticked off residents? Samantha Ronson. Lohan is living next door to her, after all. All by "coincidence," Lindsay claims.
Looking So Happy
THE OLD DAYS: Sam isn't smiling right now.
Ronson's distaste for hoards of photographers was a big reason she and Lohan broke up (for further evidence of why, see these Lindsay drunk photos).
Just the same, LiLo claims she had "no idea" her new beach house was right next door to her ex, and is willing to move in order to "keep the peace."
Lohan says she was aware Sam lived somewhere in Venice, Calif., but had no idea where until she saw her pull into the garage next door Tuesday.
Now Sam is "pissed" and she's far from the only one.

“We usually don’t do celeb stuff, but got a lot of emails on this one... so... Lindsay Lohan is moving to Venice?” a local neighborhood website wrote.
Hollywood stars such as Rosario Dawson, Emile Hirsch, Anna Paquin and Tim Robbins prefer residing in Venice as an escape from the paparazzi.
Lohan’s move may put a damper on that coveted privacy.
"People move to Venice to get away from Hollywood,” one resident said. “Lindsay Lohan represents exactly what everyone is trying to escape.”
“If she moves here I hope someone posts a pic of her vehicle so I know when to get off the street & outta [sic] her way!” a Venice resident said.
"A block away from me. Gonna [sic] get a gun."

Family: Michael Jackson Feared Being Murdered

Members of Michael Jackson's family say the singer predicted his own death shortly before he died, becoming increasingly fearful that he'd be murdered.
His incredibly valuable Sony catalog was behind that paranoia.
The comments from his family are in response to speculation that Dr. Conrad Murray will argue in court that Michael Jackson killed himself accidentally.
MJ in Fear
Murray stands accused of involuntary manslaughter for drugging MJ with Propofol. His defense may well argue that Jackson gave himself the final dose.
A rep for MJ's family says the Jacksons are "absolutely mortified" by any implication along those lines, insisting "Michael did NOT kill himself."
The rep adds, "What is incredibly ironic is that Michael told his mother shortly before he died that he thought someone was going to kill him."
"They were going to kill him for his catalog."

It's unclear why the death of Michael Jackson would make the catalog available to the assailant - it's property of his estate - but that's not the point.
The family is also concerned that video surveillance of Michael's last living moments - crucial evidence in Dr. Conrad Murray's trial - is still missing.
Murray's preliminary hearing began yesterday. The prosecution will outline its case and a judge will decide if there's enough to warrant a jury trial.
There is NO WAY this is not going to trial.
The defense knows it too, and won't even put up a fight in this round. Yesterday, This Is It producer Kenny Ortega took the stand against Murray.
