A former doctor and close confident of MICHAEL JACKSON has denied he recently provided the late star with medication – as it emerges he wrote fake prescriptions for the star’s sister JANET JACKSON.
Dr. Allen Metzger was Jackson’s personal medic on his 1996 HIStory tour, and even filmed the star’s nuptials to first wife Debbie Rowe.
But as America’s Drug Enforcement Administration help the Los Angeles cops hunt down doctors who could have abused their position to help provide the Thriller hitmaker with prescriptions, Metzger’s history of providing the superstar clan with drugs in fictitious names has come to light.
Speaking to TMZ.com, the physician admits he wrote a prescription for Janet Jackson in the name of her then chef Ricardo Macchi. The medication was for diuretics – used to help the patient pass water.
He also confesses to writing a prescription – in Macchi’s name again – for a Hepatitis B injection for the Nasty singer, but insists it was a precautionary measure and the singer didn’t have the virus at the time.
But Metzger soon came under scrutiny – when Macchi sued him over the fictitious notes, the doctor received a strongly-worded reprimand from the U.S. Medical Board in 2000 accusing him of “fraudulent medical practise” involving an “international entertainer”.
Metzger is adamant he used Macchi’s name to save Janet Jackson any embarrassment: “I had done this for Janet for her anonymity.”
And the doctor has vehemently denied he was medically involved with Michael Jackson in recent years – but refuses to confirm if he provided the star with prescription drugs during his time as his personal physician.
He tells TMZ.com, “I am not at liberty to discuss Michael’s medical care. I have not treated him for ages. I have not treated Michael Jackson for many years.
“I have nothing to do with this tragedy with Michael. I have not prescribed any medication in relation to what happened to him.”

Exclusive: Michael Jackson’s last-minute bid to fight ‘extraordinary stress’ by altering London contract
Posted July 6, 2009 • 9:44 a.m.

Just 48 hours before his death, Michael Jackson was “in a high state of stress and emotional drama, fearing that he would never be able to complete the 50-concert run in London, and it would kill him.” That’s the inside word from one of the closest business friend’s of the late King of Pop who he turned to often when problems were at their darkest.

I am sworn to never release his identity. The night that the rehearsals were filmed and recorded at the Staples Center in L.A., Michael returned home “exhausted, highly strung, stressed and sweating profusely.”

Michael reportedly said: “We did it, but we can’t go on. I’ll never make all 50. It will kill me.”

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi had a very special Independence Day weekend - she got married.

The hitmaker wed general contractor Mike McCuddy in Maine on Sunday.

DioGuardi wore a Vera Wang gown for the intimate ceremony, according to In Touch magazine.

McCuddy proposed to DioGuardi in December (08) and they exchanged vows at the United Methodist Church, which is located just across the street from her house, in front of about 30 guests.

The songwriter, 38, tells the publication, “I feel great. What was most unbelievable about the experience was when I looked out at the church and saw all these people that were so important to me and Mike, who were there for us. It was pretty powerful. I was very emotional and I’m not somebody who breaks down and cries.”

smallvilleepic desperatly needs some more icons so that the challenge can end, it has already been extended a week.

www.sovereignsociety.com reports this morning on blogs of the pending 'revocation' of tax free status of US municipal bonds along w/ the Swiss finally standing up to the US IRS/Banksters ala' 'compliance'/fishing expeditions. there is such a money grab going on from the top down it just amazes me and is almost impossible to keep up. not amazing that the swiss just cut us off hoping we'll get around to having enough hutzpah to tell our own government to shove it. sad that we don't have the balls or numbers enough to do it yet. here's a snippet:

Two Bad Apples Spoil the Bunch for 5 Million Expats

It is difficult to say how many people are affected, but more than 5 million Americans live abroad, including about 30,000 in Switzerland.

Specifically, the U.S. government’s unreasonable demands have prompted the two largest and most Americanized of Swiss banks – UBS and Credit Suisse – to shuffle their American clients into specially-created, SEC-registered banking units that are registered or located in the US. Failing that, the banks simply closed the accounts…with UBS cutting off some 52,000 American clients.

Many smaller private banks, such as the respected Geneva-based Mirabaud & Cie, are also shutting down U.S. accounts.

Compounding the nervousness of notoriously conservative Swiss bankers, the IRS is threatening to sue other Swiss banks to obtain their U.S. client records.

Apparently the IRS assumes any American with an offshore bank account is a tax evader.

My husband is working on growing his hair out. It's shoulder length now, his hair is very oily in nature, but he has the worst dandruff and dry scalp I've ever seen. I was brushing his hair the other night and I noticed his scalp was red, had these swollen patches, and in a few spots looked cracked and bleeding. He said his head itched too, and he'd probably been scratching.

Also, when he grows a mustache, he gets these flaky patches that crust up and fall off. I'd suspect eczema could be an issue, but the only trouble spots he has involve hair.....

He's practically a no-poo man, he washes his hair every 4 days or so when it starts to get oily and is a very basic kinda guy. No special scents, shampoos, or conditioner. Wash and wear, that would be him, but he's willing to do what it takes to heal this scalp issue.

I'm going to work on him, trying to convince him to see a doctor about options, but is there anything he can use in the meantime that would help his scalp and hair?

It's a rainy morning on the outskirts of Paris, the sky as grey as the puddles of mud churned up outside a nondescript warehouse; but, inside, something magical is happening. Walk along several dark and grimy corridors, and suddenly you see a room inside a room – like a Chinese box or a conjuring trick – where light streams out of the windows into the cavernous gloom. Navigate a path through the cameramen and film crew, and you find yourself within the inner sanctum of Coco Chanel.

Or at least that's what it looks like on the set of Anne Fontaine's film, Coco Avant Chanel, where an eerily accurate version of the designer's famous couture salon has been recreated down to the last detail, with a vase of white peonies on the glass-topped table, and the gleam of crystal chandeliers reflected in the mirrored walls. An etiolated model glides across the room, wearing a silvery-grey ankle-length gown; another stalks past in an exquisite pale gold sequinned dress; and more costumes hang from a gilt clothes rail, swathed in white silk shrouds, like gossamer ghosts. And then you see her, Audrey Tautou, the star of the film; a tiny gamine, eyes as dark as her black bobbed hair, mouth slightly down-turned in a moue of disapproval, scissors in one hand, a cigarette in the other. 'Astonishing,' says a curator from the Chanel archive, who is working on the set today – part guardian to the precious vintage pieces that have been borrowed for the filming, and part adviser on period detail. 'It's like seeing Mademoiselle Chanel in the flesh.'

Me and Jeff are not getting married. I'm upset. But, I would rather this happen now instead of 6 months from now be divorced.
I'll be back some day.

Hey everyone!
I'm looking for birthday macros... does anyone have any?
