Michael Jackson’s body has been moved to a “secret freezer”

Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine has ordered his embalmed remains be taken somewhere she can “visit him privately”.

Before it was relocated, the body had been temporarily interred in the family crypt of Motown records founder Berry Gordy Jr. at Hollywood’s Forest Lawn cemetery.

Last week, cemetery staff moved the corpse to a “cold room” in the basement of the nearby Freedom Mausoleum.

Once the body was secure, the gold casket was encased in Perspex to protect it from frost.

Katherine has visited Michael’s body several times since it was moved, staying with her son until she is shaking with cold.

A source said: “She cries and says that she’s sorry and that she loves him.”

It is unclear when Michael’s body will be permanently laid to rest.

Katherine is said to be refusing to bury her son – who died on June 25 - because she is scared crazed fans will desecrate or steal his body.

A family friend said: “She just can’t bear to let Michael go. By keeping him in the freezer room Katherine feels like she can still talk to him and keep him close. The thought of burying him still fills her with dread.”

Meanwhile, prosecutors are reportedly “having a difficult time” building a manslaughter case against Michael’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray.

The star’s autopsy report allegedly reveals the singer was taking a number of “potent drugs” at the time of his death.

This means that even if Murray admitted to administering the powerful anaesthetic Propofol – which was initially believed to have killed Michael – he may not be found responsible for the star’s death if he could prove other doctors had prescribed other powerful drugs.

One Los Angeles deputy district attorney said: “You have to show that the doctor knew about all of these other doctors prescribing these other drugs. It’s a classic problem.”

Murray has yet to be charged with any crime, though his offices have been searched by police.







Milla Jovovich can’t pronounce her name when she is drunk

Model-and-actress Milla Jovovich accepts even she finds her moniker tricky to enunciate, particularly after she has consumed too much alcohol.

She said: “There are many times where even I, at certain points in the evening, after a few drinks, can’t pronounce my own surname, so it’s understandable.”

Milla - who has a 21-month-old son Ever Gabo with her fiance, director Paul Anderson - also refused to become obsessed about losing her post-baby weight when she filmed new thriller ‘A Perfect Getaway’ because she wanted to look like a “normal girl”.

The 33-year-old beauty explained: “Part of the reason I returned to work was because it wasn’t an action film and I didn’t have to train. It was nice to play a normal girl on her honeymoon.

“I thought it was OK for this movie not to have to lose weight.

I didn’t need to be in superhero form so I actually felt like it was better for the character that I wasn’t in crazy-perfect shape.”

In ‘A Perfect Getaway’, Milla plays a newlywed on vacation in Hawaii who discovers a group of psychopaths are murdering tourists.

“Twilight” Star Taylor Lautner Horrified By Older Fan’s Stripping

Taylor Lautner was horrified when a middle-aged female fan tried to take off her panties in front of him. The “Twilight: New Moon” star - who was named Best Male Fresh Face at the recent Teen Choice Awards - tried desperately to avert his eyes when the woman began stripping off so he could autograph her underwear.

Taylor, 17, told Fox News: “I had this 40-year-old woman trying to find a way to take her panties off for me to sign them. They had my name imprinted on them. So that was kind of strange. But you can’t expect anything from these ‘Twilight’ fans.”

The young actor is not the only star of the vampire film franchise to receive unwanted attention from fans.

Last month, Robert Pattinson was grabbed at by an over-zealous fan who was desperate for a hug as he made his way through New York’s JFK airport.

Robert has previously admitted: “It’s funny, but about a year ago I’d talk to girls and no one would be interested. Then when it was announced I would be in ‘Twilight’ and everyone seemed to change their mind.”







Amy Winehouse Poses As Her Cat To Send Secret Messages To Estranged Husband On Facebook

Amy Winehouse is posing as her cat to send secret messages to Blake Fielder-Civil. The “Rehab” singer has created a profile for her pet feline Shirley on social networking site Facebook and is using it to talk to her estranged husband, who she is in the process of divorcing.

In a series of bizarre messages, Amy refers to Blake - who is in rehab in Yorkshire, north England - as “Sailor,” known to be one of her nicknames for him.

One of the rambling posts reads: “Oi mummy was saying to her friend about the time she made you breakfast and you drank all the nesquik til you was sick xxxxxxx (sic).”

Another says: “Sailor sort it you’re her co-hort. consort still. as you both know you’re unswerving. just as much as you’re deserving.”

On Thursday night, the cat’s status read “Shirley loves Sailor.”

Amy and Blake were granted a decree nisi - a preliminary stage of divorce which will become absolute next month - in the Family Division of London’s High Court on July 16 following the breakdown of their troubled two-year marriage.

At the time, Amy’s spokesman said: “She is ready to move on following the end of the marriage. Amy has not had any contact with Blake for months and is focusing on the future. She is finishing her album and in good health.”
