Sad, Sad, Sad

Michael Jackson is sick. No, not that way you think ­ he is actually really ill, according to new reports. Michael is reportedly battling a rare genetic disease called A1AD, which is affecting his lungs. He needs a lung
transplant, the reports claim. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. It’s the bleeding that’s the most problematic part. It could kill him. So sad! The reports say that MJ has been working with doctors for years to make sure it doesn’t progress, and has been taking many medications to stabilize him. Meanwhile, his brother Jermaine admitted, He’s not doing so well right now. This isn’t a good time.

Too Much Information

Amy Winehouse has no problem taking it all off. During a trip to St. Lucia with friends, Amy was spotted frolicking around in the surf topless, and onlookers were shocked at what they saw! Amy just whipped of her top and dived into the sea without a care in the world, a source says. She was looking better than she has in a while. And the troubled singer even appeared to have gained some weight, especially in the midsection. A bit of sun is just what she needs.

Party Time!

Jessica Alba sure knows how to throw a party. The actress was married to her babydaddy Cash Warren on May 19, but never had a proper celebration. So this weekend, she finally had a commitment ceremony to celebrate with friends and family at their LA home. There were no tears. Just lots of happiness and love, a source says. It felt extremely special to everyone. Guests including Without a Trace star Roselyn Sanchez, later danced to a mariachi band. And the couple’s 6-month old daughter honor even joined the party, wearing a gray dress (that matched her Mommy’s!) with angle wings attached.
