As the news reports and rumours surrounding Michael Jackson’s shock death on June 25 keep pouring in, biographer Diane Dimond has added another, claiming an “unnamed family source” informed her that the singer had a cancerous lesion removed from his nose just days before he suffered an alleged cardiac arrest.

“Last week, I had two real sources call me and say he’s getting surgery right now for removal of skin cancer off his nose,” Dimond revealed. “This is not a man who suffers pain well. He likes painkillers. So he got some from here, he got some from there – who knows how much.”

While this new information could prove vital for those investigating the King of Pop’s death, it’s merely one of many instances over the last month of his life involving high doses of narcotic painkillers.

Other sources have revealed that in his final months, Jackson was suffering from extreme insomnia, and had become practically nocturnal in his sleeping habits. When the rehearsals for the tour hit full swing, however, it “totally screwed up his system.”

“For the past 15 years, Michael always slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and was up all night,” the source said. “When he started rehearsals for the tour, it totally screwed up his system.”

In order to rise earlier and sleep less, Jackson began adding stimulants to his “daily drug regimen,” the source added. One such stimulant is believed to have been the powerful hospital-grade drug, Diprivan, which the singer’s former nurse Cherilyn Lee “repeatedly” refused to give to Jackson.

Lee is adamant that she never obtained the drug for the singer, however, a strange phone call she received from Jackson and his people just four days before his shock death has left her to believe that he’d somehow managed to obtain Diprivan or another similar drug.

The phone call, from a minder of Jackson’s was very frantic, Lee said, and told her, “Michael needs to see you right away. I said, ‘What’s wrong?’ And I could hear Michael in the background… ‘One side of my body is hot, it’s hot, and one side of my body it cold. It’s very cold.’

“I said, ‘Tell him he needs to go to the hospital,’” Lee recalls. “‘I don’t know what’s going, but he needs to go to the hospital… right away.’

“At that point I knew that somebody had given him something that hit the central nervous system. He was in trouble Sunday and was crying out.”

Jackson did not go to the hospital as Lee had instructed, and four days later, the singer had died from a suspected heart attack.

Heather Mills has gone under the knife for a third time in order to fix her “wonky” cleavage.

The former Mrs. McCartney opted for a third trip to the plastic surgeons after she received “a series of comments” about her “wonky” boobs.

A source explained: “Heather was a model before she met Paul and she wants to make sure she still looks good.

“She has spoken about having surgery before, it’s something she’s pretty comfortable with.”

The first time Mills went under the knife, in her early 20s, was for a breast reduction, and in 2003 (after the birth of her daughter Beatrice), she had a breast lift, resulting in an uneven cleavage.

Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is on the road to recovery after Sunday night’s horrific crash, which saw the actor and his female passenger airlifted to a nearby hospital in Memphis.

Freeman’s spokesperson, Donna Lee, said in a statement on Tuesday: “Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand.

“The surgery last night lasted four and a half hours. He’s visiting with family this morning. As of this morning he’s up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days.”

The Dark Knight star’s business partner, Bill Luckett, said that the 71-year-old is anxious to head home, and hoping to be released from hospital by the end of the week.

“Morgan is up and walking around,” Luckett reported. “He’s really sore, but he’s doing better. He’s hoping to be out of the hospital by Thursday.”

Freeman was driving along Highway 32 in Mississippi’s Tallahatchie County late on Sunday night when he allegedly fell asleep at the wheel and spun off the road. His 1997 Nissan Maxima rolled several times before finally coming to a stop.

There’s plenty of celeb plastic surgery horror stories out there (Nicole Kidman’s “bat face”, Christian Slater’s “carebear” look, and Jocelyn Wildenstein… er… ’nuff said!)… but do we ever acknowledge the ones who get it right??

Take Keanu Reeves for example… he’s one such celeb who’s been sliding into the depths of middle age rather gracefully, given the tens of thousands I’m sure he’s spent visiting his surgeon.

At the ripe ‘ol age of 45 (right), Keanu looks barely a day older than 30 (left). And he doesn’t have the tight-as-a-baby’s-bottom bat-face boxtox look about him, either.

Definite props to Keanu for doing something few celebs before him have been able to do… but how many others out there look as good as Keanu?

It’s a sad thing indeed when a relatively attractive young girl becomes so addicted with plastic surgery that she mucks up her whole face at the tender age of 23.

Pop tartette Ashlee Simpson has concerned both her fans and the media when she appeared out and about in L.A. recently looking more like a puffer fish than a singer — sparking controversy with what appears to be another bout of plastic surgery.

Onlookers said the former Seventh Heaven star was “embarrassed” as she tried to hide her severely bloated face behind her long red hair. However, despite her attempts to keep her new look hidden, sources say that there was no question the youngest Simpson had paid yet another visit to her cosmetic surgeon.

“Her face looked bizarrely lopsided and swollen,” one onlooker said. “She was trying to cover up her puffy cheeks with her hair, but it was all too obvious something was wrong.”
