Such a kidder.

Scottish actor Gerard Butler is pictured playfully mimicking the famous Michael Jackson moment when the singer dangled his new born son Blanket Jackson out of a German hotel window for the waiting fans to see the child!!! The bundle this time round was simply a plant wrapped in a towel.

Funny or slightly tasteless? Sound off in the comments!

LaToya Jackson isn't the only member of the Jackson family voicing her suspicions that Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, caused the death of the King of Pop. In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Janet Jackson expresses her belief that Murray should be held accountable for Michael's passing. In other words, she's not dancing around the subject, unlike in this performance at The Grove in Los Angeles with her flash mob. (Pun totally intended.)

Janet says, "He was the one that was administering." She adds, "I think he is responsible." Janet also remembers how she learned the news of Michael's death. After speaking with all of her members of the family, Janet waited. She said, "I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking, nobody's calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that's how I found out that he was no longer."

But it's clear that his spirit lives on in her performances. Can't wait to see her opening sequence at the American Music Awards this Sunday!

Janet Jackson will open the 37th annual AMA's this year, a year which might have been Michael's big comeback year.

Michael Jackson will receive five posthumous American Music Award nominations, so it only seems fitting that a Jackson should open up the ceremonies.  She's the obvious choice since, let's face it, Janet is the Jackson with the highest potential to hold it together and not weird-out in this highly prestigious setting.

AMA producer Larry Klein expressed he is, "thrilled about having Janet Jackson open this year's show," which is rumored to include, "an eight minute medley of songs," which will surely honor big brother, Michael as a tribute.   Career-wise the timing could not be better as Ms. Jackson is set to release a two-disc singles collections titled Number Ones as well as a new album, "slated to be released in 2010."

Now thin-again Janet has 9 AMA awards under her belt and has performed at the Awards on three other occasions.

To represent the full spectra of artist personalities, 21 AMA Award recipient Whitney Houston will also be performing, and will receive the "International Artist Award."  Shakira, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, and Green Day are also set to perform.

The world is all a-flutter today, what with the Michael Jackson movie, This Is It, premiering in multiple cities across the globe.

Earlier in the day, we took in the red carpet from the Los Angeles premiere and here are some of distinguished attendees, including director, Gayle King and, my personal favorite, publishing impresario, Coco.

Critical reviews are praising the behind-the-scenes look at the choreography and preparation for Jackson's tour 50 concert series at the London's O2 Arena, while lamenting that Jackson never seems to let his guard down around the cameras to reveal a more in-depth look into his personal life.

Gallery Info: Rosie Perez, Ice T, Coco, Michael Urie, Sebastian Stan, Tamara Tunie, Julie Henderson, Russell Simmons, Nikki Blonsky, Carol Alt, Lauren Bush, Sherri Shepard, Nigel Barker, Dreama Walker, Spike Lee, Gayle King, Orianthi and Nile Rodgers at the NYC premiere of This Is It.

It was a windy day at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, but if you were a celebrity, or had a really good publicist, this is where you were at last night. The premiere of Michael Jackson's This Is It was where all of Hollywood was.

Director Kenny Ortega said the film's goal was to "tell a story for the fans."

Creating the film "was powerful. There was laughter, there were tears," Ortega said. "This is not the journey that we thought we'd be on, but we had to do this for the fans. This has been very healing."

Michael's brothers -- Marlon, Randy, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie -- walked the red carpet to support the film, which they said they had not yet seen.

"This is what Michael would like to share, his work. He'd be most proud," Jermaine said. "I want the film to show that with hard work and dedication you can achieve anything."

Shut your plastic mouth, LaToya!

The Daily Mail reports on a recent interview LaToya Jackson did defending the privacy of Michael Jackson's children while basically revealing all their business.  Classy.

LaToya speaks in detail about the painful period Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, are going through with the recent loss of their father.  Apparently, Paris is dealing with her feelings openly, while Prince and Blanket are grieving silently.  All three are attending therapy and continue their same routine of home schooling, hanging out with their family and nannies, and watching only kid-friendly programming.

LaToya then goes on to yack about how smart they are and how gross the many biological parent claims are.

I'd feel a lot better about LaToya's touching words if it didn't feel like she was parlaying this situation into a stint on Dancing With The Stars.

Or if the attached pictures didn't feel like a photo shoot organized by her.

Michael Jackson's highly entertaining sister, LaToya Jackson, is concerned that she could be the target of a murder. LaToya has been vocal about her suspicions that her brother was killed and now believes that as a result, she is in danger for her life.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "La Toya is convinced someone paid Michael's personal physician, Conrad Murray, to kill him because they stood to gain up to $1 billion from his death." The snitch adds, "She is convinced they killed her brother and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to kill her as well."

As a result, LaToya refuses to go out after dark and sticks to crowded restaurants. She apparently believes she knows too much. God love her, but I don't necessarily believe that knowing too much is a problem she needs to worry about. She's kind of the Gob Bluth of the Jackson family.

The A&E (Arts and Entertainment - what a joke) network is producing a show called The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which focuses on the lives of four of the Jackson brothers (Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon), and was in the works before the singer's June 25 death. It looks as if Michael Jackson's children, Paris, Blanket and Prince Michael may be appearing on the show.

"Filming is taking place right now," A&E said in the late Wednesday statement. "As production moves forward, it is entirely possible that the brothers' paths will intersect with other members of the Jackson family, who may or may not be included in the finished series. However, we cannot at this point definitively know who else may make an appearance in the series.

Earlier Wednesday A&E stated "They [Michael's children] are not part of the series." Later in the day they said it was "entirely possible" that "other members of the Jackson family" could appear on the show, but it is too soon to know.

Us Weekly reports that eldest sister Rebbie Jackson, 59, who has refused to be in the series (called The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, tentatively set to air in December), "feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show." While Janet, 43, is on board, mom Katherine "is just going along with things," the source continues.

I never thought that I would say this but, Rebbie seems like she's the only sane one in the family. After Michael went to such lengths to protect his children from the spotlight, the family is ready to throw the kids onto the first reality show that comes their way? I guess money runs thicker than blood in the Jackson family.

Sort of new song we should say. "This Is It," the new single and title track from the late Michael Jackson's upcoming documentary and soundtrack, hit the Internet and radio this morning and is a sweet throwback to his simpler times.

Featuring backing vocals from his brothers, sweeping strings and an easy groove, the midtempo "This Is It" is in the style of the ballads from his Dangerous era, especially "Will You Be There" and "Heal the World." He sounds peaceful as he croons, "This is it, here I stand/I'm the light of the world, I feel grand."

Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Out on a shopping excursion to Target, Britney Spears picked up a handful of Michael Jackson's CDs. Presumably, the blond singer is hoping to gain some musical insight by listening to some of the late King of Pop's greatest hits.

Britney's newest single, "3," debuted online and is a reference to the sexual practice of ménage à trois. While she might be wearing an angelic white sundress in these pictures here, saucy Brit sings of how "living in sin is the new thing" in her most recent release.

In fact, we're pretty sure the little vixen purposely left her bra at home.
