Actress and singer Zoe Kravitz is denying a romance with actor Woody Harrelson after the two were spied having drinks together at the Jane Hotel last Saturday in New York City with friends.
The media rumor mill went into over-drive speculating that Kravitz and Harrelson spent the night together, but a spokesperson tells the New York Post‘s gossip column Page Six,”Zoe went to the Jane Hotel but left at midnight.”
Harrelson recently married longtime girlfriend Laura Louie in December.
Lisa Marie Presley posted an open letter on her Myspace page to address the death of her ex-husband Michael Jackson and express her love for a man that she describes as an “incredible dynamic force” who met a demise similar to that of her father’s Elvis Presley, dubbed “The King of Rock and Roll.”
In the heartfelt letter Presley says she is “truly, truly gutted,” and that she “wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.”
Presley also insists, “Our relationship was not “a sham” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.”
Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.
I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.”
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.
Our relationship was not “a sham” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.
In his last television interview in November of 2006, Michael Jackson joined Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and talked with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood about upcoming projects and artists who were inspired by him like Justin Timberlake and Usher.
Michael Joseph Jackson died in Los Angeles on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at 2:26pm at the UCLA Medical Center. The singer was just 50 years old.
Crowned the King of Pop, Jackson’s musical career spanned over five decades beginning at the age of 11 as part of the group The Jackson 5 with his brothers Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon. As a solo artist he created some of the world’s best-selling records: “Off the Wall” (1979), “Thriller” (1982), “Bad” (1987), “Dangerous” (1991) and “HIStory”(1995) and was inducted into the Rock and Roll twice.
Although he was beloved by the world over, Jackson’s life was plagued with controversy from his drastic plastic surgery, accusations of child molestation, to eccentricities that ranged from sleeping in an oxygen chamber to buying the Elephant Man’s bones.
The incredible talent that made Jackson a superstar also isolated him from the world and he seemed to be on an endless quest to reclaim the childhood that was robbed from him by an abusive, overbearing father who thrust him into the spotlight at a young age. He often referred to himself as a lonely man and was obsessed with the story Peter Pan, even calling his palatial animal-filled and carnival themed residence in California Neverland Ranch.
Michael Jackson was truly a gifted and innovative entertainer who made a profound impact on the music industry, touching the world with his musical genius and shaping pop culture as we know it.
