Miley Cyrus 'Shown' In Scandalous Photo

By Karla Casillas

Miley Cyrus is involved in another photo scandal.

A new photo has surfaced on the Internet allegedly showing Miley Cyrus engaged in sexual activity. Her representative was quick to debunk the authenticity of the photo.

"The alleged photo of Miley Cyrus circulating the internet is completely fabricated," her rep told the New York Daily News.

Gossip websites have also gone an extra step to prove the photo is a fake and easy to Photoshop by posting the original picture and detailing where it could have been cropped. Lalate news pointed out that the photo's color is distorted and that it's a small size—all techniques to prevent people from seeing where the crop was made.

This is not the first time the pop star has been involved in a photo scandal. Parents were outraged when she shot a semi-topless photo for Vanity Fair magazine and when cell phone pictures of her posing in a bikini surfaced, Daily News reported.

By Cristina Everett

Just when we thought Miley Cyrus was starting to steer clear of her “bad girl” image, new photos allegedly showing the pop princess engaged in a sexual activity have hit the Internet.

"The alleged photo of Miley Cyrus circulating the internet is completely fabricated," the singer's rep tells the Daily News.

While Cyrus, 16, has been busy working on her new movie, “The Last Song,” in Georgia, fans are left wondering if the "Hannah Montana" star is as innocent as she wants people to believe.

It is unknown whether the images of Cyrus are authentic, but this wouldn’t be the first time the teen has been involved in a photo scandal.

In 2008, parents were outraged when the then 15-year-old singer posed semi-topless for the cover of Vanity Fair.

The singer continued to raise eyebrows when her cell phone was hacked and leaked pictures showed Cyrus proactively posing in bikinis and a wet bathing suit.

As for the teen star’s latest photo scandal, several websites have debunked the authenticity of the photos by proving how an original image could have been altered.

‘Jackson’s comeback London gigs won't happen’

By ANI

Michael Jackson’s comeback concerts in London will not take place, according to Jackson family stalwart Arthur Phoenix. 

Phoenix, the family’s former publicist and advisor to Jackson’s brother Tito, expressed his doubts over the King of Pop performing at the O2 Arena stage to begin his 50-run shows next month. 

"I just don't see it happening. I think there were 10 shows planned and then ticket sales were overwhelming and another 40 concerts were added,” Contactmusic quoted Phoenix as saying. 

"But Michael is not mentally, physically or spiritually ready for these shows. There's something missing in his soul. He's like Mike Tyson - it's over! 

"There are family members who feel the same way but they're afraid to speak," he added.

King of pop Michael Jackson has skin cancer

Agencies - May 16, 2009

Pop superstar Michael Jackson has been diagnosed with skin cancer. 

The King of Pop was diagnosed with the disease in recent weeks after doctors spotted signs of cancerous cells on his neck and pre-cancerous cells on his face, a British tabloid claimed. However, the fans of the superstar can take heart in the fact that the disease is treatable. 

"Michael's test showed spots of skin cancer on his body, and cell which could turn to skin cancer on his face. He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover," a source told ‘The Sun’.  The 'Thriller' hitmaker is determined to recover soon as he wants to make a successful comeback with his 50 date concert series at London's famed O2 Arena this July. 

"Michael is really looking forward to his concerts and is determined to wow his fans at each and every gig. He said he's insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on," the source added. 

The 'Heal the World' singer has been making regular visits to a dermatologist in Beverly Hills, and last month he showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which, according to the newspaper, has a specialist lab to test for skin cancer. 

The singer was earlier dogged with bad health reports which claimed that Jackson suffered from a series of skin conditions and was diagnosed with vitiligo over 20 years ago. The disease affects skin pigmentation and is responsible for the singer's pale look, the report said. 

The popstar, who has been nicknamed 'Whacko-Jacko', is controversy's favourite child, be it dangling his son from a hotel balcony, numerous plastic surgeries, child molestation accusations or his multiple marriages.

Britney Spears adds fuel to her cousin's singing dream

Agencies - May 14, 2009

Here's some good work coming out of the troubled popstar Britney Spears, who fired her cousin Alli Sims from her assistant's post so that the upcoming artiste could focus on her singing career. 

Spears was particularly impressed with a song recorded by Alli as a teen, and made her promise that she would seriously get down to making her own music, reported ‘Contacmusic’. 

"I was sitting with her in the living room... and a song I'd done in high school popped up and she was like, 'I love this song, who's singing it?' I go, 'I am actually.' She goes, 'You're still living with me? I'm getting another assistant to help me out and you're pursuing this," said the budding singer. 

Sims is grateful to her 'Toxic' singer cousin for having forced her to pursue her singing dream, and cleared all rumours that the two sisters had a fallout. 

"We didn't have a falling out at all or anything. I just kind of stepped back. She had a lot of stuff going on that she needed to focus on, so I took that time to put all my energy into my music," Sims was quoting telling to a US news show. Earlier reports stated that Sims was fired from Spears' assistant's post as her father Jamie had taken up the pop star's affairs into his hands. 

Sims, who has recently come up with her new single 'Driving Blind', is looking forward to sitting down with Spear's again and catching up like old times. 

"I definitely think I'll talk to her soon. It's not like we're never going to talk again. I love her to death and I miss her and I hope she's happy."

Michael Jackson’s London shows may not go on

By Herald wire services / May 12, 2009

Michael Jackson’s much-ballyhooed London shows may not go on, if lawyers for his family’s tour-in-the-making get their way. AllGood Entertainment - the company that is putting together a series of concerts with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and their brothers - has fired off a cease-and-desist letter to the people organizing Jacko’s London concerts in July. Apparently, back in November, Whacko Jacko’s manager Frank Dileo signed a deal that promised Jackson would do the family tour. As part of the deal, the King of Pop was to refrain from any other concert deals for 18 months. Jackson’s attorneys claim that Michael never signed the family-tour agreement and his manager did so without his knowledge.

Former publicist to sue Jackson

A former publicist for Michael Jackson says she is suing the singer for $44m (£29m) for his alleged failure to pay her for her services.

BBC / May 7, 2009

Raymone Bain said Mr Jackson had agreed to give her a share of profits from deals she arranged and that she was "disappointed" he had not done so. Ms Bain acted as Mr Jackson's publicist during his 2005 trial for child abuse. There has been no comment from the singer, who is reported to have been in financial difficulties for some years. 

Ms Bain, a trained lawyer, regularly briefed the media on Mr Jackson's state of mind during his lengthy trial, at which he was found not guilty of child molestation. She was later made general manager of the Michael Jackson Company, which handles the singer's business affairs.
In the lawsuit, filed in Washington DC, Ms Bain said Mr Jackson had agreed to pay her 10% of any business deals arranged with her assistance, but had not done so. 

The deals included the 25th anniversary relaunch of his successful Thriller album and a series of concerts in London scheduled for this July.Ms Bain said it was with "deep regret" that she was launching the legal action against someone she "greatly admired and respected". 

"Unfortunately, Mr Jackson has elected not to honour the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter," she said. 

"I am sincerely disappointed in Mr Jackson's failure to honour his obligations." 

Ms Bain said she expected the the lawsuit would result in "hypothetical theories, accusations and rumours" about the relationship between her and Mr Jackson, but that the truth would emerge in court. She added that despite the legal action, she had no regrets about working with Mr Jackson. "Michael Jackson, in my opinion, is the 'King of Pop'," she said. 

Mr Jackson has faced several law suits in the past few years from former friends, employees and associates claiming he owed them money. Last year, he lost ownership of his sprawling Neverland ranch after failing to pay his staff or to cover arrears and insurance costs for the property.
