Photographer Jonathan Haeber was granted access inside an empty Neverland Ranch at night and was able to capture some amazingly creepy carnival-like images. I would have been looking over my shoulder for murderous clowns and flesh-eating zombie children, but Jonathan bravely snapped several gorgeous photos and writes compassionately about the experience. See more Neverland Ranch at Night images on Jonathan’s blog and also on Flickr.

Today’s Page Six reports that leprechaun-like David Caruso’s ego has grown as big as the ratings for his hit CBS show, “CSI: Miami.” According to reports on Defamer, Caruso takes his trademark pulling off of his sunglassses very, very seriously and has been known to demand multiple takes until he gets it just right.

Bunky accompanied Paris Hilton to the press event announcing her new MTV reality show, I Wanna Be Paris’ New Best Friend. Fueled with reckless audacity after guzzling an entire bottle of Grey Goose, Bunky reached out and grabbed Paris’ chest as she posed for the cameras - and she did nothing to stop him.
