A coroner's report says Marie Osmond's 18-year-old son had been suffering from depression but had no drugs in his system on Feb. 26, when he jumped to his death from the eighth-floor balcony of his Los Angeles apartment. Michael Bryan, left, was depressed due to "bad school grades and a visit from a former girlfriend" and a friend said he had attempted suicide three times previously, according to the report. In his suicide note, Bryan, who changed his last name from Blosil after becoming estranged from his father, Osmond's ex-husband, "outlined his unhappiness with his life and his intent to kill himself," according to the report. At about 9 p.m. the day he died, Bryan was texting with his friend and neighbor, Ruthann Clawson, saying he "felt like sh-t" and would be home soon. Clawson got a final text from him saying he had left "a letter for you on my bed." Moments after she found the note, she heard sirens of emergency vehicles.

It has just been reported that Heather Locklear was cited for hit and run after her car hit a "no parking" sign at 4 a.m. Saturday near her home in Westlake Village, Calif. Someone heard the crash but didn't call police until hours later, when the damage to the sign was discovered. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department investigation, which included examination of Locklear's neighborhood security system, determined that the car that struck the sign was Locklear's black BMW, which was found to be damaged. The hit-and-run charge is a misdemeanor, so Locklear was cited and released. She'll be back in court May 17.

Four people suing Lindsay Lohan for endangering their lives as she jumped into the driver's seat of their SUV and sped drunkenly down the Pacific Coast Highway in 2007 now want a judge to decide against her because she has twice skipped her scheduled depositions. Attorneys for the three people in the SUV she was driving, along with a passenger in the car she was chasing, will go to court this morning to seek a default judgment against the troubled star. Lindsay was scheduled to show up April 14 for the deposition but skipped it and was later photographed shopping.

Actress Melanie Griffith says she has defeated the "monster" of addiction that she has battled for some 30 years. "Addiction's a tough enemy to defeat," Griffith told the Spanish magazine ¡Hola!. "I think of it as a monster," she said. "If I feed it, it will always want more and more, so now I'm letting it starve to death in a corner. But it's always there." Griffith entered rehab last August for an addiction to painkillers that started after a skiing accident. "Now I feel free," she says. "I don't drink. I don't take pills. Nothing." Griffith's husband, Antonio Banderas, says dealing with his wife's struggle with substance abuse has brought them closer as a family with daughter Stella, 13. "We've figured out how to get past obstacles … and if you get past those, you only get stronger," he said.

With Elin Nordegren and his two small children headed for Sweden, Tiger Woods seems to be stepping out as a single man. Woods attended a Nickelback concert Monday, where he partied backstage surrounded by a security team. Before the concert, Woods dined out in a restaurant with friends, his first public outing since the sex scandal in November. Elin and the couple's two children, Sam and Charlie, took off just as airports began to open after being closed by volcanic ash in the air. The trio "have arrived in a very north area, much north of Stockholm," a source in the Swedish capital told People, possibly the estate in the Stockholm archipelago she bought last year for about $2.2 million. The source called the estate, Faglaro Gard, "an oasis of total privacy."

Kelly LeBrock, who was married to Steven Seagal from 1987 to 1994, tells TMZ she's "not surprised" by the sexual abuse allegations allegations against Seagal. LeBrock -- who had three children with Seagal, said, "I will refrain from saying anything specific now because of our three children." But, she added, "I have many shocking things to say about Mr. Seagal, which will be known soon when my book comes out." In the lawsuit, filed earlier this month, Kayden Nguyen, 23, says she answered an ad on Craigslist and was hired to be Seagal's executive assistant, but when she showed up for work, she learned that"Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian 'Attendants' on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." Nguyen claims in her lawsuit that Seagal hired her to fill the job of one of the attendants who had recently quit.

The TV show Entertainment Tonight has shown the first recognizable photos of Sandra Bullock since her split from husband Jesse James -- and notes that she is not wearing her wedding ring. The photos were taken last week in Northern California and show Bullock going for a hike, wearing high boots, jeans, jacket, scarf and a baseball cap pulled down over her eyes -- and no wedding ring on the hand that's clutching a tall white cup of coffee. In the photos, featured on Tuesday night's broadcast, the actress looks somber.

Michael Douglas's son Cameron was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday after the judge received pleas for clemency from the 31-year-old's father and mother, Diandra. U.S. District Judge U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said the prison term is Douglas's "last chance to make it." Before being sentenced for conspiring to sell crystal meth and for heroin possession, Douglas, left, told the judge that he is sober for the first time in his adult life, and was grateful for the chance to get clean. "I’d like to apologize to my family and loved ones for putting them through this nightmare of my making," Douglas said. "I believe, your honor, things will be different this time."

Courtney Love tells a British magazine that she hates the name Love and now wants to be known by her first and middle names, Courtney Michelle. "Courtney Love is dead," she told NME magazine.

The Hole frontwoman, whose birth name was Courtney Michelle Harrison, says, "Courtney Love is a way to oppress me."

There always was something surreal about Michael Jackson's life, and now that theme will be brought to the stage by Cirque du Soleil. TMZ has learned the executors for Michael Jackson's estate have signed a huge deal with Cirque du Soleil. Co-executor John Branca tells TMZ, the first show will open in fall of 2011 -- and will travel throughout North America. The show will focus on Jackson;s trademark dance moves, augmented by Jackson's songs and Cirque du Soleil acrobatics. A second show will open in 2012 in Las Vegas, with more technology and 3D effects. Branca says, "It will be a theme-park-like show."

Lacey Carroll, the model who claims David Copperfield raped her while she was a guest on his private island has dropped her lawsuit against the magician, saying she's "had enough." The woman sued Copperfield last year, claiming he spotted her in the audience at one of his shows and invited her to his island in the Bahamas, where he assaulted her. But in January, a law enforcement probe cleared Copperfield, and in a separate case, Carroll was charged with filing a false police report and with prostitution after she accused another man of sexually assaulting her. In a statement, she said, "It's never been about money ... I just wanted him held accountable for what he did." Copperfield also issued a statement that said he "would not and did not pay [the accuser] a dime to drop her lawsuit."

Octomom Nadya Suleman says everything you know about her is wrong. Suleman appears today on The Oprah Winfrey Show to set everybody straight. "This fictional character, Octomom … is the antithesis of who I am as a person and who I represent," she said during her emotional interview. When Oprah asked her to name the public's biggest misconception of her, Suleman replied, "Everything, everything, everything. From the moment I woke up, I have been placed into this unfamiliar life, foreign and foreboding." She says she's gradually become aware that people think of her as "seeking fame, having eight babies to be famous." She says, "I never, ever could have conceptualized something like this happening based upon an immature, selfish choice that I made." And here's what may be the most interesting part of the show: Oprah crew spent the night inside the Suleman home.

On Saturday, former "Bachelor" winner Shayne Lamas met Hooman Karamian, who calls himself Nik Richie on his web site, TheDirty.com. On Sunday, the pair, seen at left, married in the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Lamas, the daughter of Lorenzo Lamas and a star of "Leave it to Lamas" on E, won Season 12 of "The Bachelor," but called off her engagement to Bachelor Matt Grant afterward. On Monday she tweeted, "I am more than happy to confirm last night I got married to an amazing person and we are extremely excited to share our lives together." The Little White Wedding Chapel is the spot where Britney Spears wed childhood boyfriend Jason Alexander in 2004, a union that was annulled 55 hours later.

Just when you thought Larry King's marriage to Shawn Southwick was over comes this word from his attorney: "There's a 50-50 chance this divorce is not happening." King's attorney Dennis Wasser tells People, "His focus is on the best interest of his children. It's not clear to me which way he's going to turn on this issue." Wasser told TMZ that the couple met with a counselor and "It was decided that there will be no divorce activity for 2 weeks as several issues need to be discussed and resolved." King and his wife of more than 12 years were photographed embracing warmly last week after news of their split was announced, and Sunday, King and Southwick were seen walking arm-in-arm at their son's baseball game in Los Angeles. The pair have two sons.

It's true -- Kim Kardashian and Cristiano Ronaldo are dating. An insider says the reality star, who broke up with Reggie Bush in 2009, and the Portuguese soccer star are "in daily contact" and "dating." Just a week ago, the couple was seen sneaking kisses while having a romantic dinner at La Dorado in Madrid. Meanwhile, the claws are out against Kim after she was photographed holding a kitten up in the air by the scruff of its neck, left. Altough PETA is not amused, the Los Angeles SPCA says in a statement, "It is permissible to hold a kitten by his or her scruff for a brief amount of time" ... but warns, "the manner in which Ms. Kardashian is holding the kitten could lead others to mishandle animals." On her blog, Kardashian wrote, "Rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up. The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals."

Michael Douglas has asked the judge who will sentence his son today on drug charges for leniency. In the hand-written letter, Michael Douglas says his family's fame and history of substance abuse helped drive his son Cameron into drug addiction and crime. The federal judge is scheduled to sentence Cameron Douglas today on the drug charge, which carries a mandatory 10 years in prison. Michael Douglas wrote that he doesn't deny his son's crimes, but "I don't want to see him break." Cameron Douglas, 31, was arrested in July 2009 at a Manhattan hotel and has admitted dealing methamphetamine and cocaine.

Suri Cruise looks awfully grown-up these days, possibly because of the kitten heels and the $850 scaled-down Ferragamo handbag the little fashionista has been photographed with. But her fourth birthday party Sunday at home in Los Angeles was child-themed -- she and some young friends had a tea party. They enjoyed decorating cupcakes, had a treasure hunt and swam in the family pool.

The judges haven't been too happy with Kate Gosselin's performances on "Dancing With the Stars," but she has eight little fans at home in Pennsylvania, she says. "This is the first and only thing I have ever done that my kids care about," Gosselin said. "It pushes me on to do better, to stay on the show, to get voted through because, honestly, they count down the days until Monday." Although the show takes her away from home a few days a week and prompted a custody battle from her ex, Jon, "There were no cons" to doing the show, she told Ryan Seacrest Monday on his radio show. “I figured they’ll whip my body into shape when I needed it. ... I still don’t know how to dance, but I was hoping I would learn how to dance." Gosselin says she would trade places with her nanny "in a micro-millisecond." She says the same dilemma affects all single mothers. "You have to be at work because you have to provide for your kids, but really my heart is at home with them."

Sandra Bullock's sister has used her blog to dispel some very specific rumors that Sandra spent the Easter holiday with her and visited a Vermont inn. On her blog, Confessions of a (Closet) Master Baker, Gesine Bullock-Prado, left, who runs a Vermont bakery, says she was in Chicago, celebrating her 11th wedding anniversary with her husband, Ray. "But wait," she adds, "apparently I'm able to time travel," given the tales that "reported that my husband of eleven years and I took my sister to some inn (which shall remain nameless because they've gotten enough free publicity from lying up to now) for Easter dinner." Bullock-Prado says she posted on the topic on her food blog because she's "deadly serious about my family, their privacy and even the most benign fictions printed about them."

Meanwhile, the first woman to come forward and say she had an affair with Bullock's husband, Jesse James, will be signing autographs and dancing topless in a Las Vegas strip club on Friday. Michelle "Bombshell" McGee will dance at Vegas's Deja Vu Showgirls club. "We're just cashing in on her celebrity right now," Deju Vu advertising and marketing director Larry Beard tells People. The club will pay her $5,000, but she's expected to collect more in tips. "There's actually a group of tattoo enthusiasts that are all going to show up," Beard says. "I'm getting a lot of response for it. It should be a pretty big event. She's a dancer. This is right down her alley." He added, "Good publicity, bad publicity, it's all publicity to me. I mean, I don't expect Sandra Bullock to show up.

Despite a much-photographed public embrace, left, and rumors of a possible reconciliation, E! News is reporting that a source says Larry King and his wife Shawn Southwick's "divorce is full steam ahead." Shaun remains in the family's Beverly Hills home with their two sons, while King has been staying in a nearby hotel. The insider also confirms reports earlier this week that King doesn't have a prenup. "He really thought this was the woman for the rest of his life and is sad that it turned out differently," says the source. The source also denies that King had an affair with Shawn's younger sister, for whom he bought jewelry and a $160,000 car. Danny Southwick, Shawn's adult son from her previous marriage,says the family is "grieving" the split, and adds, "My mom and Larry obviously love each other ... whatever happens."

While Charlie Sheen's hoodie and fake "mariachi" mustache was being called the "worst celeb disguise ever," he did change his appearance. TMZ has the photos to prove that Charlie has shaved off his familiar floppy hair. He was taking a trip to the dentist Friday afternoon when he was photographed with very, very short buzz cut.

Bret Michaels said he came close to dying when his appendix ruptured before a sold-out concert at Sea World in in San Antonio April 11. On his blog, the Poison frontman and "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant wrote, "if I had gone onstage like I wanted to, it likely would have ruptured and I could have died." He writes, "I was throwing up all day and really thought I had just got a severe case of the flu. About 10 minutes before show time doctors got on the bus and said, ‘Bret we really don’t think this is the flu’ and told me that I WAS GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. After a CAT scan, they determined it was acute appendicitis and they performed emergency surgery right there in the middle of the night." The singer, who is a diabetic, says he goes on stage when he's hurting: "I have played concerts with broken bones, extremely low blood sugars, the flu, colds, and all kinds of things before. I tend to try to perform at all costs. But, I knew I was really sick this time ... I just didn’t realize how bad it was." Michaels writes that his recovery may take longer because of his diabetes, but he is being helped to heal by episodes of "Modern Family" and "hot nurses taking care of me."

  Remember the Dramatic Chipmunk?

   This brief clip of a completely normal prairie dog (not a chipmunk, oddly) that turned to look at the camera, with thundering music from "Young Frankenstein," and a final closeup of one of the prairie dog's eyes, transformed the animal from a random burrowing rodent to an Internet superstar. This "best five-second clip on the Internet" has been viewed more than 20 million times!

   Move over, Dramatic Chipmunk. The latest animal star to go viral is the Standing Cat. A 46-second clip of a French cat standing on its back legs to stare out a window has gotten more than 2 million views since it was posted under the title, "Standing cat: Mon chat se tient debout tout seul," which means "My cat stands alone." In the video, the cat stands just like a person, its front paws down by its sides.

   Of course, the simple clip of a standing cat has inspired others … many others … to improve upon it. One of the best is "Standing Cat in Boots, Featuring Zorro Cat and Mariachi Cat," in which the standing cat is equipped with a hat, tall boots and a flaring cape, and accompanied by a smaller mariachi cat.

And how about this one -- a human who stands like a cat? Watch the human make the exact back leg and paw moves the real standing cat uses to stay vertical!

Have a great weekend! -- Anne Neville

Amid lurid allegations that talk show veteran Larry King may have had an affair with his wife's younger sister and that she may have acted inappropriately with her sons' Little League coach comes some truly shocking  news -- King reportedly didn't have a prenup when he tied the knot with Shawn Southwick, his eighth marriage, nearly 13 years ago. A source close to the situation told TMZ, "She is a tall, good-looking blonde and that pretty much explains it." Larry's net worth is estimated at $144 million, and his CNN contract is said to be worth $56 million over four years. In California, without a prenup, earnings accumulated during a marriage are split 50/50. The pair have two young sons, Chance and Cannon, seen at left with their parents in 2007.

TMZ is reporting that the last straw for Shawn Southwick was her recent discovery that King had continued to give expensive gifts to her sister, Shannon Engemann, although King and Southwick had argued over the unsisterly gifting for some five years and King promised he would stop. The gifts included jewelry from Cartier, including a diamond necklace, and a $160,000 car. Southwick has apparently hired celebrity divorce attorney Joe Mannnis, but Robert Kaufman, another attorney who handled the divorces of Jennifer Aniston,  Rupert Murdoch and Mel Gibson, was photographed paying her a visit Thursday.

Tattooed stripper Michelle "Bombshell" McGee says, "I am not a homewrecker," and blames former lover Jesse James for the public backlash against her. "It's hard to be the most hated person in America," McGee said in an interview with E!News. "It's easy to target someone who looks different." McGee says, "I don't believe I destroyed their marriage. Jesse destroyed his marriage. My message to Jesse would be, 'If you were honest to me up front...we wouldn't be in this situation.'" To Sandra Bullock, McGee says, "I'm sorry this all happened. I want to apologize for her hurt and embarrassment. I'm sorry this went public." As for the public hatred of her, McGee says, "I knew I was going to get some kind of backlash—this was America's sweetheart" But then she adds, "[But] I would do it again."

Bret Michaels is out of the hospital after Monday's emergency appendectomy and is recovering at a private facility that specializes in the rehabilitation of diabetic patients. In a statement to People, his spokesman said, "While the surgery went well and doctors are optimistic that the rocker will make a full recovery, the fact that he was exhausted due to his rigorous schedule prior to the surgery and coupled with the fact that he has diabetes, the surgery has taken its toll." The rocker, 47, who currently appears on "Celebrity Apprentice," is also in the middle of an extensive North American tour.

Mama Kate has spoken: "I'm not afraid I'll lose my kids," Gosselin tells People in this week's issue. "I won't lose my kids. We're glued together, as a package, and nothing, nothing, will stop me from being with my kids." She's busy, what with her new book, "I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family," and continuing to compete on "Dancing with the Stars." But the mother of eight says ex-husband Jon Gosselin will not get full custody of the kids from her. "Don't mess with me when it comes to my kids," she says. "You are never, ever going to win."  Jon's attorney argues that Kate is not spending enough time with her children because of her work demands, and, in addition to full custody, wants a re-evaluation of the $21,000 in monthly support payments he must make. Kate is opposing those moves, but wishes Jon well so he can help the family. She says, "I want nothing more than for [Jon] to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our kids' lives more stable."

Paris Hilton's rep confirms that the professional party girl is single again. Hilton and her boyfriend of more than a year, Doug Reinhard, broke up "weeks ago," the rep said. "The relationship between Paris and Doug is over. She broke up with him more than two weeks ago." lationship between Paris and Doug is over. She broke up with him more than two weeks ago." The two had been dating for some 14 months -- their second go-round. They split once before and then reconciled. Hilton and her family, including grandfather Barron, went out on the town Wednesday, and her parents, Rick and Kathy, were heard telling their daughter how "relieved" they are that she's broken up with Reinhardt. E!News reports that "one major, ongoing issue between the two" was the reality show for which Reinhardt has already shot the pilot. "He was trying to force Paris into doing his reality show and that caused an argument," an insider says. "She has her own show going on."

Child labor charges against Jon and Kate Gosselin have been dropped by the state of Pennsylvania. The charges stemmed from their defunct reality television show, 'Jon & Kate Plus 8', which heavily featured their sextuplets and twins. Critics, including Kate's brother Kevin, and his wife Jodi, claimed that the children were having their rights violated, and that the show was affecting their development as children.

The state did rule, however, that if any other television shows want to film the Gosselin children, they must obtain child-permits and set aside a portion of the proceeds into a trust-fund for the children.

As part of the case, and the state's evaluation of their child labor laws, Kevin and Jodi testified about conditions they witnessed as part of their association with the reality show. Kevin testified that he witnessed an incident where the children were told that it was Christmas morning so that crews could film an honest reaction. Only it wasn't an  honest reaction, because it wasn't Christmas, and the 8 kids were confused.

Kevin also expressed concern about camera crews filming the children while they were potty training, and being in the room with the naked children without a parent present, as well as the availability of those scenes in videos on the internet.

Last sumer, Justin Bieber's manager called the offices of KISS 98.5 to ask if the radio station would be interested in a visit from the 15-year-old from Stratford, Ont. Bieber had been signed by Usher's Island Def Jam record label a few months earlier and was making waves with his song, "One Time."

 Janet Snyder, who co-hosts the station's morning show with Nicholas Picholas, tells the story:

"He comes to the radio station it's him, a girl from the record company, and his mom, who is all of 4 foot 10. He comes with his guitar, and what we had set up was that Usher would call in on the phone and tell us why he likes Justin Bieber, and Justin Bieber would sing, and we would all talk.

"Justin came in and sang, just him and his guitar, and he has the most incredible voice, you knew when you heard him sing … his vocal range and his personality and he's charming and he's cute and his hair is as cute as it is in every picture, you just knew that he was going to be something special.

"The funny part is that we could not get him to leave. Usually it's 15 minutes and they're
out, but he was like, "I'll hang out with you guys!' "What does this button do?' so it was a
blast."

Here's the video taken that day of Bieber singing, which has been viewed more than 1.9 million times.
