Shannon was arrested near the couple’s Santaquin, Utah home on Tuesday night for disorderly conduct and domestic violence.  She was taken to the police station and booked on two misdemeanor counts and released on a $1,205 bond.  No worries though because Gary was not hurt in the ordeal.  We’re told there were just a few household item that got smashed in the ruckus.

Crystal Defanti VIDEO, Sex Tape Taints 5th Grade Memories DVD

School is Out - 5th Grade Memories Tainted

Crystal Defanti, a 5th grade teacher at Isabelle Jackson Elementary School in Pleasant Grove, California sent her students off for the summer with a special DVD that she had created for them.

The disk contained scenes that she filmed throughout the year that were meant to highlight their accomplishments and serve as a momento.  Things turned decidedly ugly when she discovered that at the end of the little project piece was six minutes of footage of a very personal nature.

It seems that she had used the disk previously to film a little sexual dalliance in the privacy of her own home.  She is shown having sex on a couch.  She apparently didn’t realize that it was there until after she dispersed the DVD to all of her 10-year-old students, who had taken it home to share with their family members.

Frantically she started calling her 2009 roster of parents, crying and begging forgiveness.  She enlisted their help in quickly notifying all of the families in hopes they would not have already viewed her little summer gift to them.

The Northern California school board believes that it was an honest mistake and they are not considering dismissal at this time, citing the fact that her record is otherwise unblemished.  The board does plan some form of disciplinary action.

Regarding the little six-second snippet….as you might have guessed, it has hit the internet.  We found a clip that a local California television station aired after a little doctoring to obscure the x-rated aspects - but you are still able to get the general idea.  Check it out (mature theme) below.

Michael Jackson Rehearsal Video: ‘This is It’ Final Performance

 Michael Jackson rehearsal at Staples Center

A video of Michael Jackson’s rehearsal at the Staples Center on June 23, 2009, just two days prior to his death, has been released by AEG Live, the promoter for his sold out 50-date “This is It” London concert tour.

Jackson is seen rehearsing “They Don’t Care About Us,” from his 1996 HIStory album, while running through dance moves with his dancers.

Jackson appears to be healthy in the footage.  There have been widespread reports that Jackson was listless and frail in the days leading up to his death on June 25th.

Jackson’s concert tour was scheduled to run from July 13, 2009, to March 6, 2010 at the O2 Arena in London.

Funeral services for the King of Pop are set to begin at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 7, at the Staples Center complex.

Michael Jackson Funeral Staples Center

Michael Jackson funeral arrangements

Michael Jackson funeral arrangements have been made for Tuesday, July 7, at 10:00 a.m. in Los Angeles.

A motorcade will go from Forest Lawn Mortuary to the Staples Center complex.

It has not yet been determined whether the memorial service will be held at the Staples Center or the adjacent Nokia Theatre.

Financing for the memorial remains unclear.  Security and crowd control are likely to be costly, and it is being reported that tickets for the service may be sold to offset the cost.  Although the suggested price is $25, that has not been confirmed.

Contrary to previous reports that there would be a memorial service at Jackson’s former home, Neverland Ranch, current owners were unable to obtain an exemption required to have a burial on private property.

Debbie Rowe to Seek Custody of Paris and Prince Michael (PHOTOS and VIDEO)

debbie rowe

Debbie Rowe will fight for custody of son Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12, and  daughter Paris Michael Katherine, 11, the two children she bore for Michael Jackson.

“I want my kids,” Rowe told KNBC reporter Chuck Henry.  “I am stepping up.  I have to.”

Rowe also said she will take out a restraining order if necessary to keep Jackson’s father Joe Jackson away from the children.

Rowe has had very little contact with the children over the years.

Although her agreement with Michael allowed for visitation, she claims that has been very difficult for her to do.  She said if she misses a visitation (due to illness, etc.), that it was hard to get a make up date.

She also said she would be willing to raise 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, who was born to an unnamed surrogate mother.  Although she realizes it is unlikely she would be awarded custody of him, she said she would be willing to take the child.

Rowe was married to Jackson in 1996 and filed for divorce three years later, surrendering parental rights.

During court testimony, Rowe said, “I had the children for him. They wouldn’t be on this planet if it wasn’t for my love for him. I did it for him to become a father, not for me to become a mother. You earn the title ‘parent.” I have done absolutely nothing to earn that title.”

Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, was awarded temporary custody of the children, pending a hearing on Monday

A will signed by Jackson in 2002 and filed with the court on Wednesday states “I have intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife, Deborah Jean Rowe Jackson.”

Rowe’s attorney, Eric George, plans to attend custody hearing Monday to represent her.
