WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE: THE JACKO AUTOPSY PIX


The shocking untold story of the MICHAEL JACKSON autopsy photos.

The shockingly graphic pictures were taken in connection with the 50-year-old superstar's autopsy after his drug-related death last June, and Internet sites are desperate to publish them, a source close to the investigation told The ENQUIRER.

The Los Angeles Police Department and the L.A. District Attorney's office have custody of the multiple images, whose existence was revealed in the coroner's report of Jackson's death.

"Some of the edgier Internet sites run by foreign operators are attempting to secure the photos through unauthorized release - with talk that the pictures could be worth upward of $5 million!" the source told The ENQUIRER.

"There are genuine fears the pictures could be leaked or that computer hackers could get to them - and the LAPD and DA's office are taking extreme preventive measures to keep them secure."

Authorities even consulted the FBI about transferring the images to an encoded disk, said the source.

"The disk would require multiple verifications before the pictures could be downloaded and viewed," the source divulged.

"But Michael's distraught family knows that some foreign factions and Web sites will still try to get the pictures. Publishing these awful images would have a frightful and lasting impact on Michael's children, and that's why every effort is being made to safeguard the photos."

For ALL the shocking details pick up The ENQUIRER still on sale.

BY OBAMA BETRAYED!


Longtime pal REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT says OBAMA "threw me under the bus!"

In a letter obtained by AP, using strong language, Wright described the administrations 2 year rift for the former Obama pastor.

"No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them.

"I am 'toxic' in terms of the Obama administration," Wright wrote the president of an relief charity

"I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!" Wright penned.

"Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!".

The ten Sen. Obama cut ties with the outspoken preacher when his incendiary remarks swept the internet after he said in April 2008 that the US government could plant AIDS in the black community and praised defamatory Louis Farrakhan.

He also hinted Obama was keeping his pastor at arm's length while agreeing with him privately.

Obama quickly denounced Wright as "divisive and destructive", cutting all ties to the Pastor and left his church.
Wright's rant surfaced in legal appeal filed by inmate Arthur Morrison, who was convicted of making bomb threats and was boxing legend's Muhammad Ali's former manager.

BRET MICHAELS WANTED TO DIE WITH HIS FAVE BANDANA ON


BRET MICHAELS wanted to go out like Gen. George Custer - but instead of dying with his boots on, he he kept his trademark bandana firmly in place -- even in the ER room as docs strove to save the stricken former Poison frontman.

"I said, 'If I'm going out, I want to go out rockin'," Bret, 47, told Oprah Winfrey in an interview airing next week.

"It's like Superman without the cape," he elaborated.

The Rock of Love star also said he knew something "was severely wrong" about his subarachnoid hemorrhage.

"I never instantly had a headache like that in my entire life. It’s like a migraine times 10.

"It just exploded instantly - ran from my temple down to the back of my skull."
The recovering rocker is set to appear on Sunday's finale of Celebrity Apprentice where'll face off against Holly Robinson Peete for a $ 250k payoff for charity.

TONY: SWEET SMELL OF EXCESS


Hollywood
legend TONY CURTIS plaintive plea . . .

"If you've got a part in a picture, I'm available!"

That's the message that Hollywood legend Tony Curtis has for movie producers - on the eve of his 85th birthday!

"I'm looking for some kind of acting job I can do," Curtis told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview.

"I'm in excellent shape, and my spirits are high. They'd be getting a miracle!"

Tony isn't exaggerating -- just three years ago his sixth wife Jill kept vigil at his bedside as he clung to life on a ventilator.

A bout of pneumonia had left him in a coma - and Curtis says he was brought back from the dead only by 40-year-old Jill's refusal to let him die.

"I have a dear wife, and I'm the luckiest of men," Curtis told The ENQUIRER.

The couple married in 1998, and live on a ranch in Henderson, Nev. But even if Hollywood doesn't call, Curtis - who will blow out 85 candles on June 3 - will keep plenty busy.

His paintings sell for more than $25,000 a canvas, and he boasts that he's an "excellent carpenter," even though he doesn't get around quite as nimbly as he did in his younger days.

The always-active Curtis says he's getting ready to start writing his fourth book.

"It's a murder mystery that starts out in one of the Hollywood studios," he said.

"It's a world I know something about."

JOHN EDWARDS PLEA DEAL


JOHN EDWARDS is determined to work out a "plea deal" to avoid jail time as a federal grand jury investigating him appears to have wrapped up its case!

The ENQUIRER exclusively learned the bombshell developments late Tuesday night about the disgraced former presidential candidate from sources close to the situation in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The ENQUIRER exclusively learned the bombshell developments late Tuesday night about the disgraced former presidential candidate from sources close to the situation in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Edwards has been investigated by the feds, including the FBI and IRS, for possible campaign violations related to paying his mistress Rielle Hunter.

The grand jury has been meeting since April 2009.

In our March 15 issue, we reported that insiders said an indictment was imminent. One source said "John was terrified" of going to jail.

But Edwards has been working "around-the-clock behind the scenes with his lawyers to work out a deal with prosecutors," a source disclosed.

The source added: "John does not want to be indicted - and he certainly doesn't want to go to jail!

"It appears he's willing to cop to a misdemeanor charge. He's asking to keep his law license.

"The prosecutors have put the screws to him - and it appears he will admit some guilt."

Beginning in 2007, a series of exclusive ENQUIRER stories blew the lid off Edwards' affair with blonde divorcee Rielle and the birth of their love child, daughter Frances. Rielle was on Edwards' campaign payroll.

In August 2008 , The ENQUIRER raised the issue of "hush money" being paid to Rielle and Andrew Young, a married Edwards' aide who helped cover up the affair by claiming he was involved with Rielle and had fathered her child.

Since then, Young had written a book about his role in the cover-up and admitted he lied to protect his former boss. He's publicly bashed both John and Elizabeth Edwards in interviews and testified against Edwards before the grand jury.

In May 2009, Edwards acknowledged the grand jury investigation and assured his supporters: "I am confident that no funds from my campaign were used improperly…"

May 19th, 2010 6:13 AM by Free Britney Filed under: Al Roker, Bryant Gumbel, Matt Lauer
Bryant Gumbel and Al Roker – friends and Today colleagues of Matt Lauer – say the TV anchor and his wife Annette Roque seem fine ... and to back off!

Echoing the couple's own angry denials of a breakup, Gumbel said: "Nobody likes being under a microscope, even in the best of times. It's not pleasant."

"I think they're doing fine. They just stay away from the glare."

Gumbel's wife Hilary also spoke in support of the Lauers: "They've made their rebuttal [to the accusations] ... They've done what they needed to do."

Lauer was said to be having an affair, and Alexis Houston (alleged sister of Whitney) was alleged to be the other woman involved in the scandal.

Today weatherman Al Roker says he doesn't believe rumors.



Matt and Annette Lauer have denied cheating allegations.

"All I know is that he's great," Roker said. "I've seen him. They're fine. It's more about things on the outside. Everything on the inside is fine."

Matt Lauer and his wife, married since 1998, blasted a report alleging that Lauer had moved out of the family's apartment amid reports of infidelity.

According to the report, the sexy beast was also looking for his own bachelor pad. He told People last week that the story was "a work of fiction."

While acknowledging vaguely the imperfections in his marriage, Lauer denied the details of the report and says everything is fine with Annette.

We hope so. The couple has three kids under the age of 10.

Here's the cute, soon-to-be-growing family ...



John, Kelly and Ella are expecting a new baby.

Jett Travolta died of a seizure in January 2009 at age 16. The tragedy was even harder for the family given the extortion plot against them stemming from it.

We couldn't be happier for them today, though. Nothing can bring back the child they lost, but to bring another into the world is always a magical experience.

Congratulations to the Travoltas!
