Michael Jackson’s famed health guru, Deepak Chopra, tells The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner about his grief, his own medical dealings with the singer—and how a simple emergency room drug could have saved his life.

More wasted bandwidth. Shame on you TDB.

By the way... there is also a report that Jackson was taking Diprovan to sleep. If this is the case it is OUTLANDISH as Diprovan is a SERIOUS drug used in ORs, ICUs and a few ERs. Diprovan does have a very short halflife but to my understanding Narcan will not reverse its effects.

This is still all bullshit. Let it go and leave the issue be.

I love that Beck admitted on "The View" that he told something patently false about Whoopi and company because he doesn't bother to check the validity of his stories... his stated reason? Because he is a commentator, not a journalist. Apparently, only journalists have to tell the truth.

I went to the Venice Biennale today for the opening day. I attended 7 openings: Canada, United States, Germany, Holland, Uraguay, France, Denmark. I saw thousands of people, including Naomi Campbell and Tiziano Ferro. It was sunny and gorgeous and people dressed to kill! We drank upteen glasses of prosecco and tasted all sorts of appetizers. I also... Read More managed to score at least 15 bags representing the countries (they all produce bags for the openings) and weighty books, phamplets and flyers. It was a real event!!!! Not to miss and to return, because you need at least 3 days to see all the exhibits!

The Pentagon is denying the facts: photographs of Abu Ghraib torture are even more sexually explicit than first reported, writes Scott Horton, who has obtained specific and detailed corroboration of them.

I wasn't so much criticizing your post as I was going after Chloe and anyone else's who want to see the photos. There's no altruistic reason to see the photos. I borrowed your "rogue corrupt politicians" because that seems to be the mantra for exposing all those things many disagree with the former administration.

Perhaps you're right with the hackneyed assertion regarding Cheney and Haliburton. If that were true, why don't we control the oil fields of Iraq? Why is the price of oil heading back North?

Susan Boyle has become an emotional wreck, reports The Daily Beast’s Piers Morgan, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, as the global spotlight and the U.K.’s media jackals pick her
