  • It looks like Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch will be on the auction block March 19, since authorities say he owes $24.5 million in back taxes and Jacko has yet to pay.  I imagine he has a lot of memories there–maybe it’s one of the reasons he’s letting it go…
  • The producer of the Oscars broadcast says the much-publicized omission of Whoopi Goldberg in a montage of hosts of the show was "an absolute oversight" and that he planned to call Whoopi and tell her that.  Translation:  "We didn’t have time to include her, but there’s no way I’m saying that about one of the hosts of The View "…

  • Paula Abdul not only has a new song which premiered on the Super Bowl pregame show and a new album featuring it that will be out this summer, but she’s also anxious to compete on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars–the first she’s done either publicly since the mid-90’s. Before long, she’ll be giving Simon Cowell a whole new reason to criticize her…
