HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (7-27-09)
"AMERICAN IDOL" WANNABE ALEXIS COHEN . . . A.K.A. "GLITTER GIRL" . . . DIED IN A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT:
"American Idol" wannabe ALEXIS COHEN . . . a.k.a. "Glitter Girl" . . . was killed in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. She was 25. --Alexis was one of the more memorable "bad auditions" on "Idol". She actually tried out for the show TWICE. First, during Season Seven, she sang "Somebody to Love" by JEFFERSON AIRPLANE.
"American Idol" wannabe ALEXIS COHEN . . . a.k.a. "Glitter Girl" . . . was killed in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. She was 25. --Alexis was one of the more memorable "bad auditions" on "Idol". She actually tried out for the show TWICE. First, during Season Seven, she sang "Somebody to Love" by JEFFERSON AIRPLANE.
(--Here's a clip from that audition . . .)
--The judges really weren't that horrible to her, and she was pretty gracious when she got rejected. But after she left the audition room, she EXPLODED . . . mostly on Simon. She called him "egotistical" and a, quote, "big fat bad word." The tirade continued with bleeped-out curse words and lots of middle-finger action. Alexis also auditioned this past season . . . but she was rejected again.
There aren't a lot of details on the accident that caused Alexis' death. All we know is that two pedestrians called 911 after they found her lying in or near the street at 4:00 A.M. Saturday morning. --According to the autopsy, she sustained chest, head and abdominal injuries.
Alexis' car was found parked about 300 yards away from her body. The investigation is ongoing . . . and the authorities are treating her death as a homicide. --Alexis had apparently decided to try stand-up comedy.
Just last Friday . . . less than 24 hours before her death . . . Alexis posted a stand-up clip on her MySpace page. (--It was actually filmed a few months ago, with no audience.) (--And no, it's not funny. It's more like a spoken word performance. But it's kind of mesmerizing in a strange way. I think this could have actually blossomed into some kind of bizarre, absurd performance art-type thing if she'd lived.)

OH MY GAWD!!! NEAR-JONAS BROTHERS TRAGEDY AVERTED!!!
A COLOSSAL JONAS BROTHERS tragedy almost happened at their show in Philadelphia on Friday night . . . but thankfully, everything is going to be OK. At one point during the show, NICK and JOE JONAS were attempting to play something on the drums . . . together. But as soon as they went at it, Joe accidentally SMASHED NICK'S HAND with a drumstick!!!
As Nick was writhing in pain, Joe offered to give Nick a, quote, "free shot" at him . . . but instead, Nick walked to the edge of the stage to have a roadie look at his hand. --After a few minutes Nick strapped on a guitar and continued the show . . . but he was still wincing a little as he started playing. Your teenage daughter can relax, though . . . as far as we know, he's perfectly fine.(--Here's a video of all this going down . . .)
--By the way, the Jonas Brothers are still wearing SILLY COSTUMES during their sound-checks. (--Here's an updated page featuring some of this G-RATED, MICKEY MOUSE-APPROVED HILARITY . . .)

DID RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN MEET UP THIS WEEKEND IN NEW YORK CITY???
CHRIS BROWN'S YouTube apology may have worked. The "New York Post" claims that he and RIHANNA spent the weekend at a Manhattan hotel . . . secretly, of course. --They checked into separate rooms and made sure to come and go separately. They even used decoy vehicles to throw off the paparazzi.
As of yesterday, there were no reports of anyone seeing them together. --After he pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna, Chris was ordered to stay at least 50 yards from her. If he violates that order, he could end up blowing his plea deal. And the judge can throw the book at him, even if Chris has Rihanna's consent.
(--Rihanna didn't even want the restraining order in the first place.) --Chris' attorney refused to comment. All he'd say was, quote, "I don't want to be quoted on something hypothetical."

SOME OLD "LOST" CHARACTERS WILL BE BACK THIS SEASON:
During a panel discussion . . . (--at Comic-Con this weekend) . . . "Lost" executive producer Damon Lindelof dropped a few hints about the show's FINAL season, which will premiere this winter. Here are a few highlights:
First off, "Lost" won't leave fans hanging when it comes to the show's big mysteries. Lindelof said, quote, "Everything that matters we're gonna answer." He also vaguely said that the last season will . . . in some ways . . . resemble the first season.
And some old characters will be back, too. Lindelof said, quote, "There's a good chance you'll be seeing many characters you haven't seen since the first season again." --He also said Juliet . . . (--who was played by ELIZABETH MITCHELL) . . . and Daniel . . . (--who was played by JEREMY DAVIES.) . . . will be back again. (--Both may have died last season . . . although you never know with "Lost".)
By the way, DOMINIC MONAGHAN . . . who played Charlie . . . doesn't know if he'll be back on "Lost". (--His character died at the end of the third season.) --He said, quote, "When people ask if me I'm coming back to 'Lost', that's the equivalent of asking Huckleberry Finn if he's coming back to Mark Twain. I'm a fictional character. I have no control over that."
Dominic will star in a new ABC show this fall called "Flash Forward". (--It's a sci-fi drama . . . which sounds a little like "Lost" . . . in which the entire population gets the chance to see their lives six months into the future.)

MICHAEL JACKSON'S ESTATE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE SOME MONEY IN IT WHEN HIS DEBT IS PAID OFF:
We don't know how much yet, but MICHAEL JACKSON'S estate will probably have some money left in it when his estimated $400 million in debts is paid off. And Michael's mother, KATHERINE, and his three kids should start seeing some of it soon. --The executors of Michael's estate filed petitions the other day seeking monthly allowances for Katherine and the kids . . . who were named as heirs to Michael's fortune.
The executors also say they're putting the finishing touches on some deals that'll bring in TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars. (--One of those deals is obviously the movie that's being made from Michael's rehearsal footage.) --They also recently came into possession of $5.5 million in CASH that Michael had squirreled away.
The money was actually being held by one DR. TOHME TOHME. He was an adviser Michael hooked up with in the last years of his life. --Tohme came forward with the money recently, claiming Michael had given it to him to hold onto. He said Michael was planning to use it to buy a home in Las Vegas. Since that's obviously not happening anymore, he gave the money back to the estate.
THE LATEST ON THE MICHAEL JACKSON INVESTIGATION:
There wasn't much new information over the weekend concerning the LAPD's investigation into MICHAEL JACKSON'S death. TMZ is reporting that authorities found a SECRET STASH of drugs in the closet of the room in Michael's rented house where DR. CONRAD MURRAY was staying.
The thing is, it was actually Murray himself who told police about his hiding place. He reportedly did so when investigators interviewed him two days after Michael's death. --They did reportedly find Propofol . . . the drug that many believe KILLED Michael . . . in Murray's drug stash. But Murray still denies administering it.
And speaking of timing . . . TMZ has another interesting fact to report. The day Michael died, two employees of Dr. Murray in Houston removed files from his storage facility there. --The two women arrived to take 3 to 5 boxes of files . . . and the manager of the storage facility claims they became nervous when he began questioning them about what they were doing.
This was at 9:22 A.M. local time. That would have also been 9:22 Los Angeles time. --Murray called paramedics at 12:21 P.M. Los Angeles time . . . three hours later. --The question TMZ is posing here is . . . did Murray CALL those employees at 9:22 and tell them to remove the files??? And if so, WHY??? --In other words, they're "gently wondering", if you will, whether Michael was dead HOURS before the 911 call . . . and Murray was making sure that incriminating evidence was either hidden or destroyed before making that call. (--A search warrant filed last week identifies Dr. Conrad Murray as the target of a MANSLAUGHTER investigation by the LAPD.)
