The OC's Mischa Barton Sex Toy

Mischa's face is on the package of the sexual device -- and according to the guy who bought it (for research purposes) the disposable toy was offered as part of an array of "Western" amenities in his Chinese hotel.

We investigated the possibility that Mischa released a super secret line of sex toys on the Asian market -- but sadly, the actor's rep told us it just ain't true ... saying, "Um. No. She's not endorsing any such toy." more on this story

The stripper, Michelle Bella, met Dr. Murray at the Spearmint Rhino gentleman's club in Las Vegas in 2008. The story of how they met is hilarious, but first the important stuff.

Bella told detectives ... on June 25, 2009, Dr. Murray left a message on her phone at about 8:30 AM. According to sources with direct knowledge of the case ... Bella told cops Murray had mentioned Michael Jackson to her before and said, "I mean his schedule was obviously, you know -- I know that he was like up all hours because of his work so when -- so when he called, you know, he sounded tired and he was like I'm gonna get some sleep whatever."

The interview is significant -- TMZ broke a story on July 27, 2009 that "Authorities believe Dr. Murray may have actually fallen asleep during the time the drug [Propofol] was administered and may have awakened to find Jackson already dead from heart failure." more on this story

Rebecca Black's "Friday" Beats Justin Bieber's "Baby" Record Climb

Spinlab sent over these details: A little over two months ago, Rebecca Black's life was like that of any other normal American 13 year old girl: attending junior high school, hanging out with friends, going to the mall. But this week, after a little more than two months since its debut, Rebecca's hit single "Friday" smashed the 100 million view barrier on YouTube, making the clip the 23rd most watched music video of all time on the site, and turning Rebecca's normal routine into a whirlwind of national television appearances, recording sessions and photo shoots.

The most viewed video of all time on YouTube is "Baby" by Justin Bieber, who can count Ms. Black as one of his biggest fans. But Rebecca's "Friday" which broke through the 100 Million view barrier after just 63 days is already outpacing the Bieber track which took 67 days to reach the lofty milestone. more on this story

Ruth Gerson Sets New Album Release

A selection of traditional, country and folk songs, ranging from ancient to modern, about "the bad things that can happen to 'bad girls,'" the album was produced by five-time Grammy-nominated producer Rick Chertoff (Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne, The Band) and William Wittman (Too Much Joy). "Deceived" features guest performances by Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Byron Isaacs (Ollabelle), as well as some of the last recordings by guitarist Jack Rose, who passed away in 2009. Proceeds from "Deceived" will be donated to several organizations that benefit victims of domestic violence.*

"'Deceived' travels through time reflecting images of a society that tolerates domestic violence as part of its fabric," says Gerson. "Not that society agrees, but it is resigned to it to the extent that it is sung about, often cheerfully. Many of the songs are murder ballads about men killing women; but, notably, the two songs we know are written by women (Bobbie Gentry and Dolly Parton), the woman lives in these songs, but her baby dies. The stories suggest that women are punished for stepping outside the sexual morality of their community. You might think of them as 'birth-control songs.'" The album features eleven tracks, including "Knoxville Girl," "Omie Wise," "Little Sadie," "Mary From the Wild Moor," "Butcher Boy," "Ode To Billie Joe," "Delilah," "Down From Dover," "Banks of the Ohio," "Delia's Gone" and "Down In The Willow Garden." more on this story
