The Investigators are trying to determine who threw objects from a bluff-top compound owned by musician Kenny G that struck a 9-year-old girl on the head. The girl was hit bad and she had some stitches to close her wound.

That happened June 23. The girl was at the beach with her family and she was hit in the head. So now it remains to be found out who hit her.

The officials said they believe two teens on the musician’s property - neither related to him - threw the objects that hit Brooke more than 15 metres below. But what were they doing there is not known. It is not disclosed at least.

The attorney said that “It was just an accident.” and that Kenny G’s wife paid the girl’s medical bill. The parents were upset and they should be as they say that whoever threw the items targeted Brooke and her brother, Chase, a 12-year-old with Down’s syndrome and autism.

The word is that Britney Spears and her mom are probably feuding and a friend of the family tells People magazine that the rift has left Lynne Spears “brokenhearted.” This is not something which could surprise us.

The pop star mother has “cried her heart out.” and she says she wants her daughter to feel comfortable bringing her kids over to her house. That is where their problem is. Strange you could think that they have worse problems.

The Photographers caught Spears giving her mother some legal papers, which left her mom looking shocked. TMZ.com says the papers ask Lynne to stay away from Britney’s kids if she’s taking any meds that might cause her to be impaired. This somewhat makes it more of a mistery but it is bound to make the headlines.

It is nice to notice what a careful mother Britney is and how she wants to remove any bad influence from her children. She could be a model for other moms. The choreographer had told People that Spears was planning to be on stage. But the tour producer says he never heard from Spears’ people.

These few weeks were packed with Spice Girls reunion speculations. Some of the group’s members confirmed the rumors, other denied them. It was damn right confusing!

Well it’s pretty clear now, Sporty, Posh, Ginger, Baby and Scary are back and ready to tour in a venue near you. The announcement was made later today at London’s 02 Arena, after taking some photos together for the first time since their breakup in 2001.

The word came up when it was pointed out to Avril Lavigne that at this stage of her career when she has struck gold and established herself as an artist she can do whatever she wants, musically or otherwise. She did say that “It’s good, I’m relieved,” and “My first record came out and it was really big, and then I basically said, ‘I’m set, now I have a career for the rest of my life.’ But when I’m writing my songs and making my records, I still have that feeling of, ‘This has to be good, this has to be good.’

That is Burkle for financial advice. He stated in a court deposition that Rev. Jesse Jackson and billionaire Ron Burkle gave him advice to help save him from financial disaster when he was fighting child molestation charges. He had a lot of trouble back then and the two helped him get out of most of it.

The New York Daily News said in Sunday’s editions that it had reviewed seven hours of transcripts, and they found out that the the singer believed disloyal advisers took advantage of him financially before a California jury acquitted him of child molestation in June 2005. He is the pray this time.

The music industry is a dangerous place. For some more dangerous than for others. So it isn’t strange that Michael Jackson says the entertainment industry is “full of sharks, charlatans and impostors.” He adds that, “because there’s a lot of money involved, there’s a bunch of schmucks in there.”He has a point.

The deposition was made in preparation for a civil trial expected to begin this week in U.S. district court. The case against Jackson was brought by a New Jersey finance company that claims he cheated the company out of $48 million.

The ex-Beatle has signed a deal to release his Capitol/EMI catalogue as downloads on the internet, including his hit 1970 album “Beaucoups of Blues” and “Ringo” from 1973, his publicist said in a statement Sunday. The last thing we could expect from the band member. The oldest band member as a fact.

The downloads will be available Aug. 28. They also include “Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.” The best-of collection features tracks like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Sentimental Journey,” and it will also be released on CD.

The Beatles catalogue remains unavailable for downloading but former Fab Four bandmate Paul McCartney released his 21st solo album, “Memory Almost Full,” on June 5 and Ringo Starr also has an album; “Liverpool 8,” is planned for a January 2008 release.

The first solo launched by Starr after the Beatles broke up was with Capitol/EMI, from 1970 to 1975. This goes to prove that half a lifetime after that the man is able to play music. The weird thing is that Six Ringo Starr ringtones will also be offered. Would be interesting to know what the guys of the band who are deceased would think about Ringo Starr ringtones. What a world.

She had opposed a reunion of the Spice Girls but now she has changed her mind. “For the first time ever, there is some truth in the rumours. We’ve been discussing it and it could possibly happen,” the 33-year-old singer, known as Sporty Spice, told British Broadcasting Corp. radio. Never trust a pop star.

She said that “There is just so much great feeling out there and I just thought, ‘You know what, I don’t want to be the person that stops it happening or stops it being a five-piece. However, she added: “If the Spice Girls were to get back together it would be for a very short space of time. It would be a final goodbye and a ‘thank you’ to all the fans all over the world.” There is just a spice girl who is not sure; that is Mel C.Besides her the spice girls are in. That also includes Scary Spice (Melanie Brown), Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham), Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) and Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell).

Their last album was in 2000 and it was named “Forever,” but the title is not the best. It had weak sales, and the Spice Girls began concentrating on their solo careers. That worked.

The boy bands come and go but the people behind them stay there and take care of more boy bands. The big fish are not the singers; the big fish are the managers.

Such a fish is Boy-band mogul Lou Pearlman . He was was forced out of hiding Thursday after being expelled by Indonesian authorities and turned over to the FBI to face criminal charges for bank fraud. He is also said to appear before a judge in Guam. Never heard of him you may say. He made the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync big.

The worse thing is that he faces several lawsuits and two involuntary bankruptcy proceedings but hasn’t responded to court subpoenas and doesn’t have an attorney in either bankruptcy case. “We expect that he will be returned to Florida,” said Steve Cole, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa. Federal and state authorities raided Pearlman’s home and offices in February.

He is said to have sold a bogus savings-account plan. “I’m looking forward to seeing him on American soil,” Kapila said. “I’m anxious to see what he had in his possession, where he was located, and how anything he had in his possession will help me locate the assets.” The investigators say that his books are convoluted and incomplete. Figure that.

We have ROME. Not us but British rocker Rod Stewart has. The news reports in in Italy say that he married model Penny Lancaster.

The private ceremony was in Santa Margherita Ligure, just outside the posh Portofino resort on Italy’s northwestern coast. Not to many downsides when you are a huge rock star even at 62. That is Rod Stewart. Lancaster is 36.

The wedding was not big; just friends and family. It was held at a 17th-century villa. The singer has style that is undeniable. After the ceremony, the newlyweds went back to a yacht just off the coast where they have been staying. They also have a child together.

The singer had many hits. For his third wedding his best known “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” is a bit rhetorical.
