La Toya Jackson - who was devastated when the pop legend died of a suspected cardiac arrest last month - says Michael surrounded himself with the wrong type of people and they all played a huge part in his tragic death.

Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side." |

Lily Allen traumatised by Tube journey |
|
|
 Lily Allen cried the last time she took public transport.
The 'Fear' singer - who performed an intimate concert this week where she demanded fans wore underground station-themed fancy dress - is still "haunted" by the experience, which saw her recognised by fans.
She said: "Last time I went on the underground was New Year's Eve a year or two ago. I'm a bit haunted by it now because I was trying to get into the centre of town to see my boyfriend and I was on my own.
"People started shouting and singing 'Smile' at me and I was in tears, 'Just leave me alone'. And people were like, 'What the f**k are you doing on the Tube?'
"I thought, 'You know what, I'm not going to get on the Tube for a while.'"
The outspoken 24-year-old star - who has engaged in a war-of-words with several stars, including Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole - also said she has no desire to write a book about her experiences.
She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "I wouldn't. I think the nature of these books is, you know, you're f**king people over, and I haven't really got any interest in making money out of other people's misfortune."

Mariah Carey to get birthday shave |

 Nick Cannon wants to give his wife Mariah Carey a "bald eagle".
The US rapper - who married the 'Touch My Body' singer last April - has revealed he is planning to give his wife a surprise gift for her 39th birthday on Friday (27.03.09).
But Mariah might be in for a shock, because as well being an endangered species, a "bald eagle" is also a slang term for someone with shaved pubic hair.
When asked what he was going to buy Mariah, Nick laughed: "I think I was going to get her a bald eagle or something. Yeah, they sell them bald eagles still right?"
Impressed by his own quip, Nick, 28, has named himself the "chairman of comedy". |

Eminem's royalty lawsuit goes to trial |
|
|
 A LAWSUIT filed by Eminem against Universal Music has finally gone to trial.
The rapper took legal action against his record label two years ago claiming it owes him £1.1million ($1.6million) in unpaid royalties.
The lawsuit, on behalf of his publishing company FBT Productions, centres on royalties an artist receives when one of their songs or a ring tone is purchased online.
Although the payment is included in some contracts between labels and artists, there are a lot of cases where it is not given the same emphasis as the royalties earned from CD sales. |
