Since the announcement of Michael Jackson’s public viewing at Neverland Ranch on Friday, there is not one vacant hotel room in sight!
The Fess Parker Wine Country Inn in Los Olivos, which is located less than a mile from the Ranch, sold out just 20 minutes after the memorial was announced!
Two other nearby hotels said the same thing and are booked solid from Thursday until Saturday!
Friday will not be the day for Angelenos to travel north!!!

As expected, all the celeb magazine paid tribute to the King of Pop this week. He is the cover story of practically every tabloid and magazine out on stands. Even Uu Weekly broke their Jon & Kate habit!
However, some are more respectful than others. In fact, we refuse to show the cover of this week’s OK Magazine, as we think the use of Michael Jackson’s “final photograph” is disgusting and wrong.
What do U think????
On Tuesday, the funeral for beloved actress and beauty icon Farrah Fawcett was held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. Along with her long-time lover Ryan O’Neal and their son, Redmond, who was released from prison for three hours to say goodbye to his mother, dozens of friends and family flooded the church to pay their respects to Farrah.
Many people , spoke of her influence and love on the Hollywood community and her family, but it was her own words that resonated the most with all in attendance.
Farrah had written a final letter to be read at her funeral that addressed the most important men in her life, including Ryan, Redmond, and her father James Fawcett, who she called the “greatest dad around.”
For Ryan, she addressed their on/off but thriving 30 year relationship, saying: “When I figure out what it is all about, I can tell you.”
To her son, she left a message of hope that he would find his way and conquer the demons that have recently faced him: “The greatest gift of my life was to be your mother. By leaving you behind I hope you will be able to work out all your troubles and grow as a person.”
Among some of the guests were Charlie’s Angels co-star Kate Jackson, best friend Alana Stewart, and model Cheryl Tiegs.

He sure does get around!
Bradley Cooper enjoyed a romantic meal at Antonucci, an upscale Italian restaurant on NYC’s posh Upper East Side, with Case 39 costar Renee Zellweger on Tuesday!!!!
“He pulled her chair out for her when she sat down and he kissed her on the hand,” said a witness. “If they’re just friends, they were being awfully affectionate!”
The pair were seated at a corner table, where Bradley was dressed casually, but Renee wore a thigh-length black, bell-sleeved dress, strappy high heels and a Hermes clutch.
She’s pulling out all the stops!!!!!
“Throughout the dinner they were playful and flirty. She played with her hair a lot, and she would often touch his arm when she was making a point about something,” the source revealed. “At one point, he seemed to want to whisper something to her as if it were a secret. He spoke into her ear and then they both started giggling.”
The costars stayed far after they finished their food, sipping tea and chatting for quite some time!
When the check arrived, Bradley and Renee both reached for it. “She told him she wanted to buy him dinner to pay him back for something,” said the diner. “And when he opened the check, it already had her card in it!”
This caused Bradley to blurt out, “You [expletive]-er!”
Classy!
The duo tried to throw off paparazzi by leaving five minutes apart in separate cabs!
Nice try!!!!

Seks!
Some new interesting details are coming out now that Michael Jackson’s actual will has become public.
The biggest reveal so far was that Michael did indeed entrust the custody of his children to his mother, Katherine Jackson. However, the will also states that if his mother had died before him or could not serve as guardian, then the next in line for custody was Diana Ross.
We hope she knew about that!
For one thing, it is an honor to know someone trusts you that much, however, it would have been a rather shocking task to deal with had it had to come to pass.

Mom always knows best. And Usher should have listened to his mom when she objected to him marrying Tameka Foster!
The couple reportedly split up in July 2008 after just 11 months of marriage.
But hey, Tameka was smart. She popped out two kid$ within a year!
Despite the split and troubled marriage, Mrs. Usher claims to have been surprised when he filed for divorce last month. Especially because she claims they had “been intimate” less than a week before the papers were filed.
In fact, the babymomma is denying claims the couple had split back in July of last year.
In her court documents just filed, Tameka says she “had every reason to believe her marriage was intact” and that two were “intimately together as husband and wife as recently as June 6.”
Puh-lease. Just cause he sleeps with you doesn’t mean he still loves you!
Though when it comes down to the divorce settlement and her alimony, we’re sure she’s gonna fight hard to prove they’d been “happily married” until now.

Wow. Wow. Wow!!!!
June was a record-breaking month on PerezHilton.com!
We’d like to thank YOU, our longtime Perezcious supporters, for being with us all these years and helping make it all possible!
Last week, was our busiest week ever on the site!
And, the month of June was our most visited month in the website’s history.
According to Sitemeter.com, we had 268.9 million page views last month.
That’s insane!!!!
Our previous record was 249.9 million in February of this year.
And, just a year ago, in June of 2008, we “only” had 207.3 million page views for the month.
So, we are incredibly incredibly happy for the growth and for the record breaking month we had.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you ALL!

Michael Jackson’s 5 page long will is being filed today with the courts!
In the document, Jackson’s entire estate will be put into the Michael Jackson Family Trust, which benefits his three children, mother and several charities.
The trust documents are not included in the will and remain confidential.
Some items are up for interpretation as Michael never specified where he wanted to be buried.
We’re interested to see what his family believes is best.
