Arturo “Thunder” Gatti has been found dead at age 37 in his hotel room in Brazil where he was enjoying his 2nd honeymoon with his wife, Amanda Rodrigues and their 10 month old baby.

The former junior welterweight champion was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found at the scene with blood stains, said Milena Saraiva, a spokeswoman for the Pernambuco state civil police. She told The Associated Press that the Canadian also had a head injury.

The investigation was not complete, but Saraiva said authorities were preparing to present a formal accusation against Rodrigues, who denied being involved in her husband’s death.

Amanda was in the room with his dead body for more than 10 hours. Yet she can’t explain that. Hmmmmm….

The 37-year-old Gatti, whose epic trilogy with Micky Ward branded him one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, retired in 2007 with a career record of 40-9 and 31 knockouts.

Known for his straightforward punching and granite-like chin, Gatti captured the junior welterweight title in 1995, when he defeated Tracy Harris Patterson in Atlantic City.

The couple also have a 1 year old son who was with his aunt at the time and unharmed.

My heart goes out to his children and family. I hope that they crack this case quickly. This is a sad day…..

In a recent interview, a tearful La Toya Jackson, who revealed her brother Michael Jackson had four fresh needle marks on his neck when he died, believes Th King Of Pop was killed by his entourage that she claims were manipulating her brother by keeping him drugged and away from his family.

La Toya said her brother was being forced to commit to what would have been his last tour “This Is It“, a series of 50 concerts at London’s O2 arena. Michael’s sister said his crew regarded him as a “cash cow” and would try to exploit him the best they could.

La Toya, 53, said: ‘I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people.

He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side.

‘Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart.

‘Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them. I said to my family a month ago,

“He’s never going to make it to London.” He was worth more dead than alive.’

Los Angeles police chief William Bratton confirmed homicide, which includes not premeditated murder, has not been ruled out yet. The final official autopsy results should be revealed in two weeks. We hope the results are clear because Michael’s family need some closure.

Following in the footsteps of Larry the Cable Guy, William Shatner, and Pamela Anderson, Comedy Central is about to roast comedic icon Joan Rivers. And since they are already two peas in a pod, the Roast Master will be none other than Kathy Griffin. This should be rich! Kathy Griffin released this statement.

“It will be my distinct pleasure to honor a true comedy legend. The One and Only, The Great, Joan Rivers,” said Kathy Griffin. “I mean, not that Pam Anderson wasn’t a comedy legend or anything… Let’s just say it will be an evening of highs and lows. I will be roasting Joan with more gentleness and tenderness than her latest chemical peel and, on the other hand, I will give her a verbal pap smear and god only knows what I’m going to find down there.”

The “Comedy Central Roast Of Joan Rivers.” will be taped on July 26 in Los Angeles at the CBS studios, and aired August 9 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met on the set of Step Up.  I loved that movie!  I think they were super hot together and their chemistry was amazing.  That was obviously really real!  They were engaged in September and tied the knot today (July 11th) in Malibu, California.

The stars said “I do” in a short, 15-minute ceremony on the grounds of Church Estates Vineyards, the same venue where Fergie and Josh Duhamel got married last January.

More than 200 guests attended the nuptials, which began at 3:45 p.m. PST. A source tells Us Dewan’s maid of honor was Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui. Also in the bridal party was Tatum’s sister Paige and Haylie Duff, who was accompanied by the groom’s pal Nick Zano. The bridesmaids all wore light pink dresses.

Beneath an altar covered in white, cream and pink roses, Dewan wore a white strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and a long veil while Tatum wore a basic black suit.

Sounds beautiful.  Congrats to the happy couple!  You two are gorgeous!!

What’s going on with Maura Tierney?  NBC has announced that the actress’ medical condition is delaying production on her upcoming show, Parenthood.

Production is being pushed back eight weeks

“due to medical evaluation that (Tierney) is undergoing,” NBC said. “We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time.”

That’s a long time, and a very mysterious sounding statement!  I hope she’s OK.    Get well soon, Maura!

Things are getting serious with Britney Spears and her honey Jason Trawick!   Brit-Brit was spotted wearing an engagement ring a couple of weeks ago… and now she might even be considering becoming Jewish “to show her commitment” to Jason.  She has been

wearing a necklace with the Star of David symbol on during her world tour.  She has even recruited a rabbi to help her study the faith.

A source said:

“Britney wants to try the religion Jason was brought up with.”

Hmmm… it seems to me Britney will TRY just about anything.   I think she should wait and see if this guy even sticks before she starts converting to any new religion.

Michael Jackson had a complicated relationship with his abusive father Joe Jackson, who was probably responsible for the King’s downfall. Michael had begged friends to not let Joe get the custody of his three children (Prince, Paris and lil Blanket).

A source said: “Michael talked so much about his kids. He said he was doing his comeback concerts for them. He hoped to give them financial security.

“It was as though he’d had a premonition of his own death. The one thing he wanted – and insisted upon – was that his father Joe didn’t get anywhere near the kids.

“I know the last thing he wanted was for Joe to play a part in the raising of his children if he died. He told me, ‘I don’t want him doing to them what he did to me.’ “

When Michael did his last will back in 2002 a few months after Blanket was born, he wanted his mother Katherine Jackson to take custody but also wanted sister Janet Jackson to be part of their lives.

A source says, “It is believed Michael named Janet to get custody on some papers. He often said in the last two years, ‘Janet is the only sane person in my whole family. She’s the only one who isn’t out for herself and actually cares about these kids.’ “

The future of Michael Jackson’s kids is still unknown… I can’t imagine what they are going through right now. No matter what, Michael was the only caring parent they ever knew. This will be such a drastic change in their young lives… we wish them the best!

Kate and Jon Gosselin just recently announced their divorce but Jon wasted no time to show off his sexy new girlfriend named Hailey Glassman. Ironically, Hailey is the daughter of Lawrence Glassman, the plastic surgeon who gave Kate Gosselin a much needed tummy tuck.

Jon and Hailey were spotted walking hand-in-hand in the French Riviera in Saint-Tropez on Saturday (July 11). The lovebirds do look great together… I wonder when they are going to start popping those multiple twins all over again!!
