New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady hurt his left knee during a scrimmage with Tampa Bay Wednesday, but it looks like he avoided serious injury. Tom Brady Knee Injury During a full team workout, Tampa defensive end Adrian Clayborn bull-rushed Pats left tackle Nate Solder into the side of Brady’s leg as Brady was throwing. All three players hit the turf. Brady rocked backward on the ground holding his left knee. He did, however, get up and limp off the field under his own power. He returned for a few plays before talking with coach Bill Belichick and leaving with trainers. An MRI on Brady’s knee showed no structural damage. Brady, who was adorably visited by Gisele Bundchen and their son after training camp the previous day, is considered day-to-day with a mild sprain. The 36-year-old tore his ACL in the 2008 season opener and missed the rest of the season, but played every game from 2001 until then, and since. Look for the three-time Super Bowl champ to be on the field for the team’s September 8 opener, leading them to another stellar season and shocking playoff loss.

Debbie Rowe took the stand at the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial today, making for an insightful and profoundly emotional experience. Debbie Rowe Testifies at Michael Jackson Trial Jackson’s ex-wife was ordered to testify by AEG Live, who the icon’s family is suing for billions, citing the concert promoters alleged liability for his demise. The Jacksons say AEG was negligent by ignoring warning signs, pushing MJ more than he could take, and hiring Dr. Conrad Murray to oversee his health. On the stand, Rowe found herself explaining Jackson’s relationship with his doctors, and with drugs, which turns out to be the centerpiece of the case. Through tears, she lamented his longtime battle with addiction , saying, “His fear of pain was incredible and I think the doctors took advantage in that way.” “Michael expected doctors to do no harm. Unfortunately, some doctors decided when Michael was in pain they would try to help him, and so he listened.” Debbie Rowe explained that when she was working for Dr. Arnold Klein, she would sometimes go to Jackson’s house twice a day to check on him. She would also go on the weekend, adding that the doctors were competing for MJ business and would call him and tell him they had better drugs. At one point, she called Dr. Allan Metzger and told him that Klein wasn’t doing what was best for Michael, and that Metzger was good for the star. Or at least he might have been. We’ll never know, she lamented, blurting out at one point, “‘Cause Conrad Murray got in there and killed him.” Rowe said Dr. Steven Hoefflin would give Jackson Propofol when he would have his burn scars injected, and only when having a procedure done. However, Rowe added that at times, she knew about when one doctor would just give him Propofol and put him under for 4-5 hours without treatment. She said she talked with Jackson about the problem but “he was worried about the pain … I’m probably one of the one people that said no to him.” Debbie Rowe , interestingly, was called as a witness by AEG, which is looking to establish a pattern of drug abuse that Michael alone is responsible for. They believe her stories will prove that they are not complicit in the King of Pop’s death; Rowe herself does not see eye to eye with them there, though. Debbie feels AEG is responsible for pushing him too hard in spite of this though, adding, “There is no way he could ever do a concert two nights in a row.” “His shows are so physical. My concern was it was a little drastic to do something like that. We were in another country and I didn’t know any of the medications.” She said she worried “what happens if you die,” but mentioned that Jackson himself was not too worried, but “was more worried about not sleeping.” Thus, he took more Propofol than ever. Rowe will resume testimony tomorrow as the complex, high-stakes case winds toward an uncertain end.

Debbie Rowe is expected to testify at the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial that her ex-husband was addicted to Propofol 12 years before he died. At least twice in the ’90s, doctors misused a drug similar to Propofol, enabling MJ to sleep through the night – or so TMZ reports she’ll tell the jury . Debbie Rowe will be called to testify by AEG Live, though she views herself as a hostile witness, as she feels AEG is largely responsible for MJ’s death. She is expected to say that in 1997, doctors administered Diprivan (an anesthetic and form of Propofol) to Michael in a Munich, Germany hotel room. Rowe will say the drug was administered specifically so Michael could sleep. The testimony is significant because AEG Live is trying to show Michael Jackson was responsible for his own decisions and misused drugs for years. Rowe will also say, contrarily, that she never viewed him as a drug addict. She will testify that was addicted to Demerol, which he used to deal with the pain and anxiety from scalp surgeries after being horribly burned years earlier. He was not, however, a reckless or out-of-control drug fiend in her eyes. In fact, he had gone to rehab to battle addiction and he was open about it. Rowe personally injected Michael in the buttocks with Demerol and Vistaril several times while she worked for Dr. Arnold Klein , MJ’s closest confidante. She had no idea that in the last months of Michael’s life, Klein (the rumored biological father of Prince and Paris Jackson ) gave him Demerol often. Rowe is expected to say on the stand that she saw a video of MJ leaving Klein’s office looking particularly out of it, just days before he died in 2009. After he passed, she called Klein and said “You killed him. What did you give him?” Rowe also told her therapist that year, “They’re [AEG] gonna kill him.” Whether this plays out on the stand – and how a jury reacts, with a BILLION-dollar lawsuit on the line – remains to be seen, but we’ll keep you posted.
Paris Jackson is out of the hospital and into a residential treatment center. After a month at UCLA Medical Center following her suicide attempt , Jackson left the hospital last Tuesday and headed to an undisclosed facility. The rehab facility was selected by the 15-year-old’s grandmother Katherine Jackson, her biological mother Debbie Rowe and Paris’s UCLA doctors. As for why such continued, seemingly intensive, treatment is still needed? “The feeling is that Paris is still a danger to herself,” explained a source . “Both Katherine and Debbie want her to get the help that she needs.” THG, too, wishes nothing but the best for this youngster with a bright future.
We can’t decide if Paris needs an azz whoopin’ or the hand of Jesus. Paris Still Hasn’t Grieved Michael’s Death All jokes aside maybe Paris really never grieved her father’s death and that’s why she is so phucked up. We will pray for her. According to TMZ Paris Jackson is stable and doing OK … but she’s dealing with some pretty heavy issues, including the fact that she hasn’t dealt with Michael Jackson’s death — this according to sources connected with the Jackson family. Our sources say Paris — who’s currently receiving psychological help at UCLA Medical Center — has indeed felt bullied, but NOT by schoolmates. We’re told Paris has had an obsession with comments people leave about her on social media and websites — and the negative comments “really get to her.” Our sources say she currently does not have access to her phone or the Internet, so the problem is temporarily solved. Paris, one source says, is a “rebel.” We’ve learned Paris almost got expelled from school after punching a student who “talked smack about her father.” We’re told Debbie Rowe has expressed deep concern about some of the friends Paris has been hanging with — friends who she believes have been a bad influence. And there’s this … we’re told the shrinks who have been helping Paris believe she has not really gone through the grieving process over her dad’s death. In other words, a lot of emotional upset has been building for nearly 4 years. We’re told when Paris gets out of UCLA … she and Debbie Rowe are going away together for 6 to 8 weeks so she can get better. Our sources say Debbie feels very strongly it’s important to get her the hell out of L.A. for the summer. We’re guilty of being critical of Paris, but if our comments “really get to her,” we’ll back off.
Paris Jackson is stable following her recent suicide attempt, and her condition is improving, but she’s still dealing with some pretty heavy issues emotionally. Chief among them? She never properly grieved or emotionally processed Michael Jackson’s 2009 death, sources connected with the Jackson family say. Currently in treatment at UCLA Medical Center, Paris has felt the impact of bullying on social media and websites, and has let it “really get to her.” She does not have access to her phone or the Internet, so the problem is on the back burner for now, however it’s only a matter of time until it returns. Paris, one source says, is a “rebel” who almost got expelled from her private school after punching a student who “talked smack about her father.” Her mother and potential new legal guardian Debbie Rowe is said to have expressed deep concern about some friends Paris has been hanging with. Rowe believes some of Paris’ peers are bad influences, and while it’s not specifically clear why, the 15-year-old is clearly having an identity crisis . Moreover, doctors feel Paris has not really gone through the grieving process over her dad’s death, and turmoil has built up internally for four years. When Paris gets out of UCLA, she and Debbie Rowe are going away together for 6-8 weeks so she can get better – far from the pressures of L.A. We’re not psychologists, but that sounds like that can only help. Should mom Debbie be Paris’ full-time guardian? Yes. It sounds like she needs her mom! No! I don’t trust that woman! View Poll »
