Wade Robson (Photo: Denise Truscello)Michael Jackson may be dead and buried, but that doesn't mean he can't be the target of a lawsuit. Noted dancer/choreographer Wade Robson, now 30, has filed suit against the King of Pop's estate, claiming the he was molested by Jackson when he was a child.The strange thing is that back in 2005, Robson denied he was sexually abused by Jackson when the pop star was facing charges of child molestation. Testimony by Robson, his sister, and his mother helped Jackson get off the hook.

From Bowie's banned video (Photo: Floria Sigismondi)Update: Two hours after this story was posted, the video is back on YouTube. According to Billboard, the video sharing site claims it was removed in error: "With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."David Bowie clearly hasn't lost his edge. The 66-year-old rocker's latest video, which he wrote and conceived himself, features plenty of racy imagery and the clergy engaged in some less-than-pious behavior. "The Next Day" clip also bears the "explicit" parental advisory label and ended up being banned from YouTube for "violating terms of service" just a few hours after its release.
The video, which some may consider offensive due to its graphic images that could be interpreted as mocking religion, stars Academy Award-winning actress Marion Cotillard and renowned British actor Gary Oldman. It takes place in a bar filled with saints and sinners, where Bowie is performing on stage dressed in monks' robes.

Photo: Mike LawrieMany A-list entertainers such as Neil Diamond have been making sure to give special love to the city of Boston in the wake of last month's tragic marathon bombings. However, Rihanna doesn't seem to be among them.After already having postponed the Boston stop on her Diamonds world tour in March due to illness, the pop star took the stage in Beantown a full hour and a half late Monday night on her makeup date.
Rihanna offered no explanation for her late arrival--and to make matters worse, her opening act, rapper A$AP Rocky, was a no-show reportedly due to illness. By the time she took the stage, she was greeted by a chorus of boos and jeers from the frustrated and bored crowd.
