Michael Jackson - with a beard

Here’s Michael Jackson as you’ve never seen him before - in dark black make- up and with a beard.

The singer - whose skin became progressively lighter throughout his life - wanted to go to a concert by band Kool And The Gang with his date, actress Tatum O’Neal.

But he didn’t want to be hassled.

So he brought in Hollywood special effects genius, Rick Baker to create him a unique disguise, sources say.

An insider revealed: “He didn’t want people to know he was at the gig.

“So he asked Rick Baker to help him out.

“Rick created this beard for him, and did some work on Michael’s lips.

“He also gave him make-up to make his skin look darker.

“Then Michael and Tatum went to the show together.

“I’m not sure if anyone ended up recognizing him or not.”

The insider added: “Michael loved it. He thought it was so much fun.

“I always thought it was funny that he had darker skin, then seemed to spend the rest of his life making it lighter.”

Jacko, who died last Thursday in Los Angeles at the age of 50, is said to have spent tens of thousands of dollars on the disguise - thought to be in late 1982.

He and his family were staying at suites at the New York’s Helmsley Palace at the hotel at the time.

The insider said the couple went to see the Celebration stars at the city’s Madison Square Garden.

At the time the Polaroid photograph was snapped, Jackson would have been approximately 23-years-old.

The picture has never been seen before.

Meanwhile, Tatum, 45, said of Michael Jackson’s death: “There are no words that can express the sadness I feel in my heart. My condolences go out to his family.”

In 2004 she hit out at claims Jacko had made on US TV that she tried to seduce him.

The Paper Moon star said in her autobiography that the then 17-year-old first tried to kiss her when she was just 12-years-old.

She wrote: “I was just twelve and not at all ready for a real-life encounter.

“Michael, who was sweating profusely, seemed as intimidated as I was. He jumped up nervously and said, ‘Uh… gotta go.’”

Nevertheless, the pair remained pals for several years afterwards.

Michael Jackson’s friend - I’m not Blanket’s dad

A Michael Jackson friend has insisted he is not the father of the singer’s youngest son, Blanket.

Restaurateur Al Malnik said he laughed when he read reports that he was the dad of the child - because he only met the lad for the first time when he was two years old.

The 76-year-old millionaire Malnik - the godfather to seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket - had been friends with Jacko for more than 10 years.

The singer would often stay with him at his Florida estate during the star’s child abuse scandals.

Malnik said: “Of course, I’m not the biological father. It would be very interesting to realise [I was]. I didn’t meet Blanket until he was two.”

He also described the chances of him being the dad as a “Ripley event” - a reference to the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not franchise, which catalogues bizarre phenomena.

Asked if he planned to have any role in the child’s life, as his godfather, he said “only if I am asked and if it were court-authorised or Jackson family-authorised”.

Malnik also said that Jackson was not addicted to prescription drugs - despite a wealth of claims to the contrary: “Our family was with Michael 24-7 for months at a time.

“If he did take prescription drugs, it was very infrequently. He led a very healthy life and just devoted himself to having a nice time, writing his songs, being with his children and enjoying life.

“The drug problem that he is always accused of having is exaggerated manifold.

“He enjoyed himself so much with his children. It was a magical time for all of us.”

Hangover star Bradley Cooper spotted with Renee Zellweger

Hangover star Bradley Cooper has been spotted with Renee Zellweger, just days after he claimed he was “just friends” with Jennifer Aniston.

It is claimed Renee, 40, and Bradley, 34, had dinner at the Antonucci Italian restaurant in New York.

An onlooker at the restaurant said: “She was grinning ear-to-ear and laughing really loud. Bradley kept moving closer to her and slouching in his seat.

“He was really relaxed.”

Another witness said: “He seemed to be hanging onto Renee’s every word. They were lost in their own little world.”

It was previously claimed that Bradley and actress Jennifer Aniston, 40, had been on a number of dates, but he later claimed they were just friends.

Jackson family forced to abandon plans to bury singer at Neverland

Michael Jackson’s family have been forced to scrap plans to bury the King of Pop at his famous
Neverland Ranch – because they have been unable to get the required permits in time.

Fans have already started to flock to the California ranch after reports a public viewing would be held there later this week.

But Neverland has now had to be ruled out as the final resting place for Jackson, after the investment company that bought the ranch last year failed to get a the required residential exemption needed for a burial on private property.

A spokesman for Colony Capital confirmed that the company applied for the exemption, but said: “They couldn’t get it in time.”

Jackson’s funeral and burial now look likely to take place in Los Angeles.

The Jackson family said in a statement on Wednesday: “Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland.

“Plans are under way regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”

Sources say a private memorial service for family and friends could still be held at Neverland, possibly after Jackson’s funeral.

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly kicked in a car window and injured a teenage girl

Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly kicked in a car window and injured a teenage girl.

The 24-year-old footballer was in his Ferrari when he was said to have flipped when he spotted he was being filmed from another vehicle.

It is claimed he kicked the car window of the other vehicle causing the window to shatter and broken glass was showered over a 17-year-old girl who was inside the car.

The star was on his way to an Elton John gig with his mum Dolores and his two sisters when the incident happened.

However, the young girl claimed she was just filming him as a fan, and not paparazzi like his manager claimed.

Ronaldo said: “This persecution caused my mother to be so disturbed and upset that I had to try to convince them to leave us in peace.

“When my mother is involved, it is difficult.”

Debbie Rowe to Get Custody of Michael Jackson’s Kids

It has been widely reported that Debbie Rowe gave up her parental rights to the two children she bore for Michael Jackson, Paris and Michael Jr. However, the late singer’s ex-wife is poised to take full custody of them. During their custody fight back in 2005, Debbie attempted to give up her parental rights saying that Michael was the best father ever. The judge who presided over the hearing initially ruled her rights to be terminated but then reversed his decision. The lawyers who represented Michael at the time said that under the law, the Department of Children and Family Services must conduct a parental fitness investigation before parental rights are terminated and that didn’t happen with Debbie. Sources say that she will ask for custody and that she stands to get a huge amount of child support from Michael’s estate.

INSIDE MICHAE: JACKSON’S NEVERLAND MANSION

These pictures show how tragic Michael Jackson’s Neverland mansion has transformed from a magical fantasy land to a ghost town.

The 2,800-acre sprawling estate, with its zoo, famous amusement park, roller coasters and fairground rides, used to be alive with the sound of young voices.

But these images – taken just days before the singer’s death at the age of 50 - show how his former home is now completely empty.

The singer once filled the jam-packed rooms with bizarre artifacts, life sized mannequins and toy figures of comic superhero characters.

Now the rooms, which nearly all feature old fashioned dark wood décor and furnishings, all remain empty after removal men recently cleared the property.

The star’s former hot tub stands alone in a room while a private room built into a wall now has three secure locks forbidding entry into it.

An insider who viewed the property said: “It used to be like a children’s wonderland but now it’s like an empty shell.

“It couldn’t be more different from how Neverland used to look when Jackson lived there. It is eerie.

“All the toys and strange items that he had acquired over the years are all now in storage.

“It’s like walking through a ghost town. You used to be able heard all the noises from the exotic animals he kept in his private zoo.

“Now there’s just silence and empty fields.”

Builders and workmen have been working around the clock on the sprawling estate to repair it and restore some of its former glory.

And now it seems like the property is being readied for a new family to move into it.

Jackson deserted the property in July 2005 soon after being cleared of child abuse charges.

The ranch, which cost £11.4million in 1987, was also once famous for its zoo, stocked with elephants, giraffes, lions and monkeys.

All that is now left of the exotic animals is their empty cages.

The other animals have been turned over to the care of animal parks and welfare groups in California.

Jackson’s pet monkey - Bubbles - is now in a sanctuary while Baba the elephant went to a private owner and the horses were given to a children’s riding programme.

Neverland Valley Ranch, buried deep in California wine country, was once the ultimate symbol of pop star excess.

Katie Price reportedly had a “gut instinct” that estranged husband Peter Andre would leave her for months before they split

Katie Price reportedly had a “gut instinct” that estranged husband Peter Andre would leave her for months before they split.

Peter, 36, announced he was splitting with Katie, 31, last month after three and a half years of marriage.

Katie’s pal Michelle Heaton has spoken out about their split and said: “Kate wasn’t surprised that he’d left. She said she’d had a ‘gut instinct’ for a month or two that he was getting ready to go.

“She’d even said to me on a few occasions: ‘Pete’s going to leave me one of these days.’ But I thought it was a joke. Pete had his reasons for going and he told her why.

“Whether it’s a justifiable reason or not, I don’t know. People will have to judge for themselves when it comes out. But he wanted out. What shocked her most was the way it was announced the next day.”

She added: “She was like: ‘Hold on a minute, you’ve only just left, and now it’s on the news and we haven’t even had a chance to talk about things properly.’

Robert, 23, and Emilie, 27, are shooting Remember Me, and Robert’s Twilight co-star Kristen, whom he is rumoured to be dating, was allegedly not impressed at their kissing scenes.

A pal of Robert’s added: “Kristen saw a photo of them kissing and flipped out.”

Onlookers at the beach, where Emilie and Robert filmed the scenes, said the pair appeared to enjoy filming the scenes.

An onlooker said: “Emilie snuggled with him for at least 10 minutes. She was sitting with part of her body pressed up under his arm and they were making each other laugh.

“They’re definitely getting close - you can tell it’s more than a work relationship.”

It is claimed the pair have been spending time together off-screen as well and were said to have visited the swanky Soho House on a break from shooting.

An onlooker said: “They spent a lot of time telling jokes, laughing and whispering in each other’s ears.”

The onlooker added: “At one point Emilie took Robert’s Ray-Bans and was playfully wearing them before putting them back in his shirt pocket - it was very flirty. Rob was so sweet and attentive; if I didn’t know anything about him, I would think Emilie was his girlfriend!”

The parents of America’s most famous reality TV family – Jon and Kate Plus Eight - have called an end to their marriage.

Jon and Kate Gosselin gripped viewers for five years as the proud parents of eight children in their reality series Jon And Kate Plus Eight.

After fertility treatment, the couple gave birth to twins in 2000, followed by sextuplets in 2004.

The family’s reality series became a way for the couple to support their large family.

But the troubled relationship of Jon, 32, and Kate, 34, has for months been in U.S. headlines after it was claimed they were living separate lives after allegations of affairs.

In February, photos of Jon appeared showing him with another woman while visiting his sick mother in hospital. The couple denied a rift at the time, but a month later, 23-year-old Deanna Hummel was photographed driving Jon’s car home from a bar late at night.

The ten-year marriage finally came to end as divorce papers were filed in a Pennsylvania court hours before they announced their separation in an hour-long special episode.

“Yes, Kate and I have decided to separate,” Jon said.

Kate added: “I’m not very fond of the idea, personally, but I know it’s necessary… ”

The couple said they would keep their home in Pennsylvania and take turns spending time in it with their children. Both said they intended to keep filming the show in some way.

Pushing Daisies star Anna Friel has admitted it’s tough being a working mum

Pushing Daisies star Anna Friel has admitted it’s tough being a working mum.

Anna, 32, and boyfriend David Thewlis are parents to three-year-old daughter Gracie.

She said: “I think it’s very different nowadays for working mothers. Before, a woman could take two years off - a year for her pregnancy and then the first year, but I don’t think that’s possible for women in showbusiness or in any industry any more.

“You just have to keep going - keep looking forward. If you stop, you’re like: ‘Oh, God, it’s too overwhelming!’ And believe me, I’ve had my fair share of those moments.”

Anna flew to Madrid, Spain, when Gracie was still a baby to film the movie Goal! and she admitted it was hard.

She said: “You get so overtired. You want to be there for your child at night - and I was still breastfeeding - but then I’d get to the point where I couldn’t sleep when I did get to bed.

“It went on and on. Eventually, a doctor gave me a sleeping tablet and I slept for a weekend!”

Anna’s boyfriend David Thewlis plays Professor Lupin in the Harry Potter film series and she admitted she is glad the film is shot in the UK.

She said: “Thank goodness Harry Potter is filmed in England. It means we can live in the same house and sleep in the same bed.”

Miranda Kerr makes ripples in Pirelli calendar shots

Australian model sensation Miranda Kerr is making ripples around the world after turning up on the internet in a series of near-nude photos taken from next year’s Pirelli Calendar.

The photographs, one of which shows Kerr topless with a g-string like bottom in a stetson-style brown hat with black band, were reportedly taken from the latest edition of Italian Vanity Fair.

Australian models Abbey Lee Kershaw and Catherine McNeil also appear in the shoot.

Kathy Ward, of the models’ agency at home, Chic Management, said the shoot took place in Brazil two months ago and that she was surprised the photographs had become such a sensation.

“They’ve all been so busy overseas we haven’t really chatted but, from what I’ve heard, I believe the shoot went well … It’s interesting that the photos have come out.

“Usually there’s such tight security surrounding Pirelli that no images are revealed before the launch of the calendar.”

The Pirelli photo shoot comes just weeks after Kerr created a fuss on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. She was posing nude for the plight of koalas, an endangered species, and shown chained to a tree with her private parts covered.

The Pirelli photographs are the work of American Terry Richardson, who reportedly had a reputation for sexual portraiture. McNeil is reported very suggestively presented, pouring milk over her breasts and body.

Serena Williams dons cheeky pre Wimbledon T-shirt

Wimbledon star Serena Williams exuded confidence as she bounced around training in London on Friday in a T-shirt that dared to ask, “Are You Looking At My Titles?”

Serena has 20 grand slam titles and enormous winnings to her name. The sister act Venus and Serena and Russian-born Maria Sharapova have all been spotted out and about the city dressed in casual style as they attempt to chill before the sizzling-hot world class tournament.

Venus, cutting a long and leggy figure, chatted on her cell in a chic black track suit with pink top. She donned pink and white joggers and carried big white shopping bags. She wore her shades on her head and was seen with a pillow in a bag at one point.

Serena appeared in a new soft shoulder wave and bold purple athletic shirt. She looked relaxed as she went to a manicure salon to get her nails done.

Sharapova, 22, wore a peach short-sleeved jacket, a loose slate grey top and big shades as she laughed over a snack at an outdoor cafe table. The star has recently been sidelined by a shoulder injury between August 2008 and May 2009.

Prince William and Kate Middleton use fake names on seaside holiday

Prince William and Kate Middleton chose the alias “Smith” for a cozy weekend away on the Cornish coast.

The pair, rumoured to be on the brink of getting engaged, have been staying at a private house near the medieval town of Fowey under the names Mr and Mrs Smith.

“It is quite funny really that they feel they need to go to such great lengths to keep their visit a secret - but I suppose it adds to the romance,” a source was quoted as saying.

The source added: “William and Harry spend a lot of time in Cornwall in summer. They love it. They are mad about surfing and go to secluded beaches where they can surf largely unnoticed.”

The couple’s privacy may have been cramped, though, when Harry and some mates tagged along. The group had a beach barbecue, with the princes knocking back cider, playing football and setting up a fire. Prince William and Middleton later watched the sun set.
