It looks like morbid curiosity led a large number of employees to inappropriately view Michael Jackson's death certificate and other information that should have been off limits on a Los Angeles County Coroner's Office computer.
According to the
Los Angeles Times, at least two-dozen coroner's staff members are believed to accessed Jackson's death certificate, which had been viewed 300 times in the two weeks following the pop star's death.
Some apparently printed copies before the document was released publicly. The employees had been warned there was a security hold on the Jackson case file and that unauthorized views would result in disciplinary action.
"There's only one person in the investigation of Mr. Jackson who needed to have a copy of the death certificate, and that was the investigator," said Craig Harvey, chief coroner investigator.
No laws, only internal rules, appear to have been broken.
Additionally, officials discovered that two other computers holding information about the Jackson investigation were not as secure as intended.
“We took extra steps to plug those holes," Harvey said.

Hey, these two make quite the bromantic couple, don't they?
Last night, famous fathers Michael Lohan and Jon Gosselin had a double dinner date of sorts in the Hamptons - Jon brought along tabloid reporter Kate Major, and Michael invited
Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin and her husband, along with Southampton Mayor Mark Epley and his wife.
The group arrived at Southampton's Red Bar around 8pm, where they stayed for over two hours. Throughout the dinner, Jon's new lady love tenderly touched his arm and insiders report that the two seemed to be joined at the hip. Sources inside the restaurant also reveal that the two "definitely seemed to be dating," which has us wondering...what the heck happened to Hailey Glassman? Didn't Jon supposedly propose to her in St. Tropez? Guess not!
Jon and Kate (Major, not major b*tch) were first photographed together over the weekend leaving the NYC restaurant Accademia di Vino, and Kate has since claimed that she's dating the reality TV dad.
So is Jon just enjoying the single life? And what do you think about him hanging with Michael Lohan?

Seriously?! Megan Fox has reportedly said no to a part in the upcoming Bond flick (tentatively titled "Bond 23"), according to the UK's
Daily Star. Apparently Fox would “rather be a more central part of a movie†and not just a pretty face.
And she's not the only actress to turn down the role - "Slumdog Millionaire" star Freida Pinto also passed on it! Geez, what's wrong with playing a Bond girl opposite the delish Daniel Craig? We'd kill for a role like that!
UPDATE:
Oops! Looks like the
Daily Star got it wrong! We just spoke to Megan's rep, and when asked about the story, she told X17online: "
Completely not true. There has been no discussions nor any offer. We are all fans of the Bond movies." And there you have it!

Kim Kardashian just about always looks fierce. Even in a simple outfit like this!
The reality TV star grabbed lunch at La Scala in Bev Hills yesterday with mom Kris Jenner. Hmm, but where were sisters Kourtney and Khloe? Maybe gearing up for their new reality show -
Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami! Think it'll be as big of a hit as
Keeping Up with the Kardashians?

Earlier today Eva Longoria showed up to the
Desperate Housewives set, and it looks like the actress stepped straight out of the shower! I'm sure she looked all sorts of glam once she paid a visit to hair & makeup, but we're kinda digging this casual summery style!

On set, that is.
La Lopez is still filming
The Back-Up Plan in Manhattan and, in addition to some cute pix of her and Alex O'Loughlin pushing around fake babies in strollers, we ALSO got a coupla shots of the sexy stars smooching! Is it bad that we think this guy is hotter than her hubby?
