Michael Vick Ponies Up Porsche for Fiancée's Bday

12/16/2010 12:35 AM PST?by TMZ Staff??

---

Michael Vick is definitely spending cash like a starting QB -- because the dude just handed over a fully loaded Porsche to his fiancée at her birthday bash in Philadelphia ... TMZ has learned.

Sources inside the party tell us Vick's fiancée, Kijafa Frink, celebrated her birthday with a private event at a Philly nightclub ... where guests feasted on filet mignon sliders, imported crab balls, and designer chicken wings (yeah, we don't get it either).

But here's the kicker -- when it was time to open gifts Vick whipped out a brand new Porsche Panamera! Yeah, he dropped $90k on a birthday gift. Baller.

We're told Vick's Philadelphia Eagles teammates LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson were also at the party -- but we're guessing he didn't toss the Porsche keys to 'em the way he tosses the rock.

Evidence of Other Doctors in Michael Jackson's Death

12/14/2010 1:00 AM PST?by TMZ Staff??

---

Certain items found in the room where Michael Jackson died could help shape Dr. Conrad Murray's defense -- namely, that other docs were medicating Michael.

Sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... evidence in the room suggests certain potent drugs were "prescribed and prepared" for MJ to self-medicate.

As we first reported, Dr. Murray's team will not challenge the L.A. County Coroner's finding that Jackson died of a massive Propofol overdose. But as we told you, Murray's team will present evidence in the doc's manslaughter case that Michael awakened, then gave himself the fatal dose of Propofol when Murray left the room.

We're told Murray's team hasn't decided if it will use the evidence found in the room to implicate other doctors in Jackson's death.? But we do know Murray's legal team will present evidence during the trial that the fruits of Jackson's notorious doctor shopping over two decades wore his body down.

The rep for Dr. Murray's lawyer refused comment.

Michael Jackson's Mini-Me -- Tae Bo Royalty

11/30/2010 12:15 AM PST?by TMZ Staff??

---

The kid busting out the insane moves in Michael Jackson's new music video "Hold My Hand" has rhythm in his blood -- because the boy is directly related to Billy Blanks -- the King of Tae Bo.

9-year-old Michael Isaac Blanks is Billy Blanks' nephew -- and the kid has been performing as an MJ wannabe for years.

In fact, just last year Michael's MJ impersonation even caught the eye of "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega -- who called Blanks "a real prodigy" at a dancing event for Nigel Lythgoe's Dizzy Feet Foundation.

Judging from the footage we got at the MJ video shoot this weekend -- Kenny knows what he's talking about.?

11/28/2010 12:55 AM PST?by TMZ Staff??

---

The music video for Michael Jackson's song with Akon features dozens of extras ... but only one of them is a pint-sized version of MJ.

TMZ obtained video and photos taken last week from the set of the video for "Hold My Hand." One Jackson fan was featured doing a few of MJ's famous dance moves. You can hear another fan say about the kid, "That there is the opportunity of a lifetime."

As we first reported, a group of MJ fans were recruited to walk into an open airport hangar -- meant to symbolize "walking into the light" (see the pics below).

A source on the set told us the director was telling people the video would air on ABC on December 6.

Michael Lohan Spends Week at Rehab; Dina to Follow?

11/20/2010 12:55 AM PST?by TMZ Staff??

---

Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael spent the entire week together at Betty Ford -- and if Michael gets his wish ... soon Dina will be joining them.

Sources tell TMZ Michael arrived at BF on Monday and has been there throughout the week as part of their family week. We're told in the early part of the week, Lindsay and Michael each went through therapy sessions ... but not with each other.

According to our sources, the two began doing sessions together on Wednesday. One session simply included the two of them and a counselor -- another session involved a larger group.

We're told counselors at Betty Ford, as well as Lindsay and Michael, want Dina to join in on the sessions during family week next month.

Sources close to Dina tell us that so far she hasn't been asked -- and that she wants no part of a therapy session with Michael. But reps for Betty Ford tell us they wouldn't have to see each other -- it's S.O.P. to put family members in separate groups.?

As for the rest of Michael's week with LiLo... on Thursday night, Michael was spotted out with Lindsay (above) -- we're told Michael treated Lindsay and a few of her friends from rehab to dinner.

And how's this for a small world ... we're told Michael bumped into a Betty Ford employee in the halls that he recognized from when he was a patient there back in 1989.

Circle of life.
