"The owner of a preserve of exotic animals near Los Angeles that houses big cats once owned by Michael Jackson says she is ignoring evacuation orders and staying put as a wildfire rages nearby." -- Fox News
"The fire that has threatened Los Angeles County since August 26 doubled in size on Sunday night, and is nearing the Mount Wilson Observatory, used by researchers from UCLA.
As of 7:20 a.m. local time, the fire was five percent contained and had destroyed 122,000 acres, with an estimated $7,671,000 in damage according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Public Affairs Section.
The origin of the fire is unknown, and has an estimated containment date of September 15, said Steve Zermeno, a spokesman from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
UCLA faculty members who work in the Mount Wilson Observatory were evacuated on Friday due to the proximity of the wildfires, said Roger Ulrich, emeritus professor of astronomy." -- UWire

News of the Day.
Michael Jackson's mother is stepping up to the plate, attempting to file for guardianship of the late-pop star's three children. Being ages 7, 11, and 12, they need a home suitable for them to have some semblance of normalcy...or something like that...although it may be a bit of a shock to have any normalcy after the flamboyant and paranoid lifestyle lived by their father, Michael Jackson. Following a life in environments such as Neverland, a normal children's lifestyle may be hard to realize.
Billy Mays' cause of death is being labeled as heart disease and not the rough plane landing where he bumped his head. It's interesting to note that there could be a wrongful death suit towards the airliner, and it would therefore be advantageous for the Mays' family to tie the heart disease and rough landing together as one aggravating the other. It's an awful thing for any family to have to go through.
In other news, Judge Sonia Sotomayor's ruling as an appeals court judge has been reversed. Which ruling, you ask? Remember the ruling that caused the white firefighters in New Haven, Conn. to be denied promotions (a bit of reverse racism)...that is the one that has been reversed. Hallelujah, someone actually is doing the right thing! Racism is horrible whether it is the typical, or reverse-type racism! An amazing way to start the week, eh?!

Michael Jackson or an American Angel
So, I was sitting down to see what was on the TV and saw on my satellite guide that TVGN (TV Guide Channel) was showing "Farrah Fawcett: American Angel Remembered". So, since every other channel has been airing non-stop tributes to Michael Jackson, I thought I'd check the Farrah Fawcett tribute.
Sure, I wore the parachute pants and learned the moves to Thriller. They were great times!
However, when I clicked on the directory on the show about Farrah Fawcett, guess what came up...A tribute to Michael Jackson. Does anyone else think that is tacky?...not to show something about Michael Jackson, but tacky in the advertising of the tribute to Farrah Fawcett and instead showing something on Michael Jackson.
I guess it's all about the green.
