The wife of Jorge Posada, the veteran Yankees catcher, Laura Posada will make her reality TV debut in E! “True Hollywood Story: Baseball Wives” tonight (July 8). Laura and Jorge tied the knot in 2000 and they have two children together.

Laura wants to break the stereotypes in this new reality show. “People think that just because you’re married to a baseball player, that you’re dumb, that you’re a gold digger, that you’re an ex-stripper,” says Laura. “That’s not the way it is. I still haven’t met that one girl. Most of the girls that I know, that are baseball wives, are super sweet girls. They’re successful in their own right. I really hope that after people see this show, they realize that there’s a lot more than just what people think baseball wives are.”

Singer/songwriter Mariah Carey apologized to her fans and everyone for her performance of “I’ll Be There” (watch video here) at Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service At the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday (July 7).

Mariah tries to explain how she was overcome with emotion and how hard it was for her to sing in front of Michael Jackson’s casket. Mariah posted on Twitter the following statement:

“Just recovering from the day. Still filled w/sadness as we listen to KJLH in LA (Stevie Wonder’s radio station) paying tribute to MJ.

Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me.

One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people. He inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts.”

Mariah was also the first performer to take the stage, which may have added a bit of pressure. It was clear Mariah was fighting back tears and she also seemed to be a little numb.

Actress Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, was the victim of a wardrobe malfunction (photos below) at the wet premiere of “Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince” at the Empire Leicester Square Theater in London, England on Tuesday (July 7).

The 19 year-old star was greeting her fans when her floor-length flowy dress opened exposing her skin-tone underwear. That would have been really embarrassing if Emma wasn’t such a beautiful young lady who handled the situation like a pro, continuing to smile and pose for the cameras at the red carpet.

UPDATE: Sahel Kazemi Shot Steve McNair In His Sleep

The Tennessee Titans are opening LP Field, where they play their home football games, to fans who want to come to the stadium to remember Steve McNair.

From 9 a.m.-7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, fans will be able to watch a rolling video of McNair highlights on the video boards at the stadium. Fans will be able to sign a book that will eventually be presented to the McNair family, and also make a donation to the Steve McNair Foundation at the ticket office.

The funeral for Sahel ‘Jenny’ Kazemi is scheduled for Friday in Jacksonville, Florida.  Kazemi moved to Nashville four years ago with her boyfriend at the time, Keith Norfleet.

McNair and Kazemi, who had been dating for several months, were both found dead from gunshot wounds on July 4th in a downtown Nashville condo.

McNair’s death has been ruled a homicide.  No official ruling has been made on Kazemi’s body but police have hinted that she probably killed herself after killing McNair.  Kazemi had purchased a gun two days before the incident.

I have had these vintage 80′s Michael Jackson dolls for several years now. When MJ passed two weeks ago I dug them out of a box in the garage.  I also had one (out of the box) when I was a small kid.  I also found the ‘Thriller’ record and thought I would include it in the photos as well.

One of the MJ dolls is wearing the ‘American Music Awards’ outfit and the other has him in his ‘Beat It’ costume.

The big mystery between the two dolls is the photo of Jackson that appears in the bottom left hand corner on each doll’s box.  On one of the dolls you can see that Jackson is clearly darker and with a bit of a 5 o’clock shadow.  On the other doll MJ is clearly freshly shaved airbrushed and magically lighter (see comparison below).  His hair is also not as unkempt.

The dolls were produced before the days of Photoshop, so I assume that a batch was released, and then a second edition/batch was released, with the airbrushed photo instead of the original darker/hairer image.  I have examined each closely and it is the same photo on both, just one has been heavily altered.

I checked on eBay last week and these dolls were going for anywhere in between $300-$800 dollars.  I believe I paid about $15 bucks each about six years ago.  I will be keeping them unless you can bowl me over with an offer.  The dolls were produced in the mid-80′s.
