Jackson Compound on Lockdown for Anniversary

The Jackson family compound in Encino is gonna be locked down tighter than Fort Knox on the anniversary of Michael Jackson‘s death … because we’re told the LAPD is preparing for an onslaught of MJ faithful.

According to the LAPD, there will be 30 to 40 officers — some uniformed, some undercover — patrolling a one block area around the Jackson home on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We’re also told other precautions will be taken — including “no parking ” signs around the house and a ban on all MJ merch sales in the area … the same rules that will be enforced at Forest Lawn Cemetery.

The LAPD says 3,000 to 4,000 shirts were confiscated last year after Michael died — so you’ve been warned

Sandra Bullock Gives Surprise Country Serenade

By Eileen Finan

First an Oscar, now a Grammy in the cards for Sandra Bullock?

Well, possibly not, given her tongue-in-cheek guitar plucking during Tuesday night’s star-studded Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery, where Bullock was a surprise – and very popular – guest. Her appearance at the event, hosted by Faith Hill and her real-life husband (and Bullock’s The Blind Side screen husband) Tim McGraw, prompted a standing ovation.

“I’m going to bring the house down,” Bullock, 45, declared to the sell-out crowd of more than 15,000 people as she swung an acoustic guitar over her shoulder. “And I’m going to do it Nashville style!”

First telling the audience, “If I could have some quiet, please,” Bullock slowly, and awkwardly, picked out the opening notes to “Smoke On the Water.”

“I can’t play for crap!” she eventually deduced before introducing Hill, who joked, “Sign that girl right away.”

Joining Bullock for the benefit – with more polished musical offerings – were Toby Keith, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, ZZ Top, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, LeAnn Rimes and Miley Cyrus, among others.

Hometown heroine Reese Witherspoon was among those to tape a video greeting, and said that in Nashville, “we get together and take care of each other.”

The benefit raised more than $2 million for flood victims.

I didn’t think that they were going to last but I thought it would have lasted a little longer than they actually did.

The Bachelor speaks.

Breaking his silence following his breakup with fiancée Vienna Giraradi, The Bachelor‘s Jake Pavelka tells PEOPLE that trouble had been brewing in the relationship for a while, and that there were “a lot of red flags” along the way.

He also denies reports that Girardi was unfaithful, but says there were serious “trust issues” between them.

Still, Pavelka – who broke up with Girardi by phone on Monday from Atlanta, where he was filming a role on the Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva – says that he has not given up the hope of some day finding his soul mate and insists he has “no regrets” about proposing to Girardi, 24.

“I’m still the same guy that believes in love,” says Pavelka., 32. “In the end, what I’ve learned is, it doesn’t matter if you love somebody – that doesn’t fill 95 percent of the relationship.”

Kate Gosselin’s spent more then $21,000 on her hair

Wow that’s a lot of money spent, especially since she complains that money is tight sometimes and that’s why she has to work a lot.

Kate Gosselin’s spent more then $21,000 on her hair – just 5 months!

 

While most moms find it hard to afford pampering time, Kate Gosselin has spent more than $21,000 on her hair alone since January!

The reality star has seen celebrity hair guru Ted Gibson at least five times since their first 22-hour makeover for a magazine shoot. “She had her extensions reapplied two weeks ago,” an insider tells Life & Style. “Extensions cost $5,000, color costs about $500 and cuts with Ted Gibson are $950- each without tax.” If cost isn’t an issue, neither is time in a salon chair- and away from her kids! “Her extensions take six to eight hours,” says a second insider. In fact, she’s spent about 50 hours getting her hair done since January!

Fake a Toned Body—Tonight!

You know I work out a lot and eat pretty healthy yet I still can lose those last five pounds which is so annoying so tips like these are always useful!

Fake a Toned Body—Tonight!

You’ve been working out and eating right, but still wish you could look a little more toned in your dress (who doesn’t?). Use these instant slimmers:

1. Slather your way slim. As any runway-show makeup artist can attest, the quickest way to appear leaner and more toned is to self-tan and firm up the surface of your skin so dimples are less noticeable. Luckily, most self-tanners not only tint your skin, but offer extra hydration to instantly plump your cells, which gives you a firmer overall look. This is perfect for your bikini body.

2. Perfect your posture. Standing (and sitting) up straight can have a slimming effect. Almost instantly, good body alignment can make you appear 5 pounds thinner. How to get it? Do these moves for 3 minutes 5 times a day:
•Stand or sit tall, and visualize making your spine as long as possible.
•Keep your chin parallel to the ground (your ears aligned over your shoulders).
•Pull your bellybutton in and up.
•Straighten your upper back by lifting your chest and slightly bringing your shoulders back.

3. Take pounds off in photos. These posing secrets can make you look slimmer:
•Create some space between your body and your arm.
•Place your hand on your waist and bring your elbow to the side.
•Avoid a double chin by having the photographer hold the camera slightly above eye level and pointing it down.
•Turn your face a bit to the side instead of looking at the camera dead-on.

4. Reach for a total tummy controller. The right stuff under your dream dress can make you look smooth and toned. Four of our favorites:

Your Daily Horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

If you are thinking of making a change in your life it can and it will be a success – but you must make it now. Each day is a new beginning, so do what you can today then do even better tomorrow and every day after that.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You may be under a great deal of pressure at the moment but you must get the work-play balance right or pressure will lead to stress and stress will lead to failure. Give yourself a break occasionally – and make sure it’s fun.

 

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You’ve had some great ideas of late but you still need to go back and check that you have not missed anything important or made any miscalculations. Great ideas can and should lead to great achievements, but you’ve got to be vigilant.

 

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Something you have always accepted as true, because the experts told you so, will be revealed as a hoax when Mercury, planet of the mind, leaves your sign tomorrow. Next time, don’t be so eager to trust those “in the know”.

 

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Although you give others the impression that you are super confident you actually worry a lot and that is something you need to come to terms with over the next few days. Doubts cannot be permitted. Act first and don’t worry about it later.

 

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You may be having second thoughts about the direction your life is taking but it is too late to turn back. All you can do is keep going and keep hoping it will come right in the end. It will. It always does.

 

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You may be a little confused by all the changes taking place in your life but that’s no bad thing. If you can’t get a handle on what’s happening you won’t waste time thinking about it too deeply. Sometimes you think too much.

 

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Cosmic activity in some of the more sensitive areas of your chart is making you rather defensive at the moment, but overall life is still good and will get even better over the next few weeks. Stop worrying and start living.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Chances are you will find yourself at odds with what the rest of the world seems to believe today, but you are not the sort to change your opinions to suit other people. You’re right, they’re wrong – it’s that simple.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You may think you need to get busy and get everything finished in one mad rush, but you’re wrong. Focus on one thing at a time and don’t even think about anything else until that one thing is done and done right.

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Mercury, planet of the mind, is at right angles to your ruler Saturn today, which suggests you will find it difficult to keep your doubts at bay. But are they really your doubts, or are they other people’s doubts you’ve picked up on?

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Aquarius is one of the zodiac’s “fixed” signs, which means you don’t change your ways easily, if at all. Today, however, you will need to change the way you deal with someone you work with. If you don’t, you’ll miss out big time financially.

 

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

There is someone you would be wise to avoid today. You know who they are and you know why their company is toxic but, being such a nice guy, you don’t want to hurt their feelings. Okay, be subtle about it, but stay out of their way.
