More La Toya:

* "Michael always had cash in his homes, usually around $2 million which he used to pay out on things. People said he wasn't wealthy, but Michael always had money with him.

"When I went to the house later that day there was no cash or jewelery. . . . Someone went in there and did a good job."

* In the room where Michael died, La Toya says: "The police had already taken an oxygen tank which was beside the bed. On top of the sheets there was still an oxygen mask. Standing beside the bed was a stand for an intravenous drip. I was told the cops had taken the bag of liquid from it.

"Behind I saw three oxygen tanks in the corner of the room.

"There was an empty pill box on a cabinet. We also found loads of empty oxygen tanks in the garage of the house."

* La Toya says that Michael had recently told her that he was in his sixth month of detox, but News of the World reports that he was taking twice-a-day injections of Demerol, plus Dilaudid, Vistaril, Xanax, Prozac and Zoloft.

* La Toya says that Michael "really wanted to be a movie director. . . . He had an idea to do a horror film called 'Thriller.' He designed the poster for it already."

Guess that's in case the music thing didn't work out.

* La Toya says that Michael's daughter, Paris, still writes letters to him and put one half of her favorite split-heart necklace on his arm in the coffin. La Toya says that Michael was buried in his favorite pearl-studded jacket and gold belt.

"He looked like the regular Michael - he looked fabulous," she says.

* As for Debbie Rowe, La Toya says, "The children don't even know who she is. They have met her but Michael never introduced her as their mother. He was their mother, their father, their whole world."

So how much of this is true? Keeping in mind that it's La Toya AND News of the World, Tattle would put the over/under at about 30 percent.

* "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch, who's serving home confinement for tax evasion, wants a leave to star in the show's 10th anniversary edition in Samoa.

Then he can win more money and not pay taxes on it.

It's the circle of life.

* The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said Friday that "Bruno" reinforces negative stereotypes and "decreases the public's comfort with gay people."

Universal Pictures maintains that "Bruno" is a satire that "uses provocative comedy to powerfully shed light on the absurdity of many kinds of intolerance and ignorance, including homophobia."

The problem with comedy shedding light on ignorance is that the ignorant people rarely get it.
