MJ’s brother’s fury over ‘secret’ burial filming

London, September 6 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s brother Randy has slammed the “surreptitious” filming of the burial of the late star in Los Angeles.

The former ‘Jackson 5′ singer reacted after a camera kept filming the private ceremony at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park on a hovering helicopter despite the area being a no-fly zone.

“I was dismayed last night and again today at the coverage I saw on television of our ceremony for Michael,” the BBC quoted him as saying.

“We had asked the media to respect the privacy and the sanctity of this event; to give us one moment of privacy to mourn as a family out of the public spotlight.

“Unfortunately, despite a no-fly zone around Forest Lawn, many media organisations decided to ignore our wishes.

“I therefore ask today that media organisations airing helicopter footage of the ceremony we held for my brother immediately pull that footage from their air and refrain from airing it in the future,” he added.

The King of Pop was finally laid to rest after he died of a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs on June 25.

The Los Angeles coroner ruled Jackson’s death as homicide. (ANI)

Jacko ‘took morphine overdose’ after infamous Bashir interview

London, June 29 (ANI): Michael Jackson nearly died after taking a morphine overdose following his infamous interview with British journalist Martin Bashir, a doctor who treated him has claimed.

Bashir spent eight months interviewing the King of Pop at his Neverland ranch for the controversial TV special Living With Michael Jackson.

The broadcast showed Jackson’s confession of offering his bed to child friends, which later led to sexual abuse charges against the late icon for which he was found not guilty.

A doctor, who was treating Jackson’s brother Randy, alleged that the Thriller hitmaker landed himself in danger after he worked himself up into a “frenzy of anxiety” over a TV interview and collapsed in 2003.

“His frame was light but not severely malnourished. He probably weighed about 11 stone,” the Daily Star quoted the expert as having told Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

“Randy said Michael had been under severe stress because of the television programme which had aired that night.

“I recall him saying that an earlier TV documentary had caused all manner of problems and that Michael had worked himself into a frenzy of anxiety over this one,” he added.

The doctor further said that he warned the family against the singer’s addiction problems, saying: “I was deeply disturbed by the event. I told Randy that his brother should voluntarily go to a rehabilitation centre to deal with his obvious addiction problem… I wanted to discuss with Michael directly the damage he was doing to his health and the very real concerns I had for his well-being. I never heard from any of them again.”

Jackson died aged 50 on June 25 after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest amid speculation he had taken a cocktail of prescription drugs. (ANI)

Randy boss to pay #46k to boob-job barmaid over ‘disrespectful’ remarks

London, Mar 7 (ANI): A barmaid, who went under the knife for a boob job, could get a whopping 46,000 pounds, after she complained that his boss asked her if he could “stroke her puppies”.

Landlord Stephen Hughes regularly made crude remarks at Mandy Butler, and even simulated sex behind her as her daughter looked on.

Butler, 42, told an employment tribunal that she had been depressed about her flat chest, and thus boosted her bust to a 38D.

However, after returning to work at the Paddock pub in Cantley, South Yorks, she found herself at the target of Hughes’ “extremely upsetting, derogatory and disrespectful” remarks.

According to the Daily Star, it is alleged that Hughes, 50, pestered Butler to let him touch her breasts and when she refused, said: “I can’t believe you have spent #3,500 on them and won’t let me have a feel.”

Kevin Bolton, 26, one of the regulars at the pub, said that Hughes would talk openly about the barmaid’s breasts or backside “every five minutes”.

Butler said that despite of asking her boss to stop making rude remarks, the comments got worse.

She said: “He gave the impression that he felt he was above the law, that it was his pub and he could do what he wanted.”

Later, Butler was sacked at a staff meeting without warning after she got into a row with a customer and slapped him across the face.

Although Hughes accepted that her dismissal was unfair, he claimed his sexual remarks were just “banter”.

Sheffield employment judge Richard Williams ruled that he had violated Butler’s dignity.

Butler has won a claim for sexual discrimination, harassment and unfair dismissal against Hughes and brewery bosses.

And the panel still have to decide her payout, which could be around 46,000 pounds. (ANI)

Smell of rotten eggs is a big turn on for men!

London, Mar 3 (ANI): Rotten eggs might not be welcomed in a woman’s kitchen, but they can prove really useful under bed sheets, suggests a new study which found the smell of decaying eggs could make men randy.

According to research that could lead to new impotence treatments, the chemical behind the smell of rotten eggs helps men become aroused.

A gas called hydrogen sulphide – also released when eggs rot and from the exhausts of cars with catalytic converters – is given out by men just before they have sex.ollowing the study, researchers believe that it could be used to create a rival to Viagra.

“We found that hydrogen sulphide is involved in human penile erection,” The Telegraph quoted Professor Giuseppe Cirino of the University of Naples Federico II, as telling The Independent.

“The hydrogen sulphide pathway represents a new therapeutic target for erectile dysfunction and it should be possible in future to deliver drugs that either deliver hydrogen sulphide or that control the hydrogen sulphide production,” the expert added. (ANI)
