  • Lisa Marie Presley • On her MySpace blog, explaining a conversation between her and her former husband where he revealed his fear of ending up just like her famous dad. She tried to get him away from that thinking but he had accepted it as fact, something that hit her yesterday when an untimely death proved to be true. Presley went further in her post, saying that their marriage was in fact not a sham: “I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.” • source

  • Denver Nuggets star Kenyon Martin • Who’s still just a little pissed about how Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban treated his mom, and even more pissed about the fact that Cuban posted an apology on his Web site rather than talk to him directly.
