Jermaine Jackson has paid tribute to his late "legendary king of pop" brother Michael. The tearful singer appealed for privacy following the shock death of the iconic "Thriller" star Thursday at a brief press conference in Los Angeles.

He confirmed: "My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 pm. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known."

Lisa Marie Presley says having twins is "freaky." The singer - who gave birth to daughters Finley and Harper three months ago - says she and husband Michael Lockwood have struggled to adjust to the new additions to their family.

She revealed: "When we brought the babies home it was a complete and utter shock."

Lisa Marie Presley has blasted critics for blaming John Travolta's teenage son's death on Scientology. The 40-year-old singer, who is close friends with fellow Scientologists John and wife Kelly Preston, argues it is in poor taste for people to use the tragedy to attack their beliefs.

Lisa said on her MySpace blog: "For the most part, people have been very sympathetic and respectful, but there are those certain ones that want to use this horrible tragedy as an opportunity to once again, blame and or attack Scientology?"

Elvis Presley has 'met' his granddaughters through a medium. Lisa Marie Presley - the late music legend's daughter, who gave birth to twin daughters Finley and Harper earlier this month - asked a medium to introduce the babies to her father and was delighted when the spirit guide contacted the singer.

Lisa Marie is quoted by Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "This was my dad, this was Elvis coming through. I would know his energy anywhere and this was him, I have no doubt."

Lisa Marie Presley has named her newborn twin daughters Finley and Harper. The 40-year-old singer - who welcomed the babies into the world, weighing 5 lbs 15 oz and 5 lbs 2 oz, after having a caesarean section last Tuesday - chose the names with husband Michael Lockwood, her spokesperson Cindy Guagenti has confirmed.

After revealing Lisa had given birth, Cindy added: "The babies and mom are happy and healthy and resting at home."
