Jermaine Jackson
In a tearful interview on NBC's Today show, Jermaine Jackson said he should have died instead of his brother, Michael, whose death last week remains under investigation.
"I wish it was me," he told Today's Matt Lauer, who sat down with Jackson on the grounds of his late brother's Neverland Ranch. "I always felt that I was his backbone, someone to be there for him."
See our complete Michael Jackson coverage
While the Jackson family confirmed no public memorial service would take place at Neverland this weekend, Jackson said he hoped the 2,500-acre ranch would be his brother's final resting place. "This is his home, he created this, why wouldn't he be here?" he told Lauer. Jackson's interment at Neverland would require an exception by local officials because burials are restricted to cemeteries. (Should Michael be buried at Neverland? Vote in our poll below.)

Trevor Donovan
Remember that guy we exclusively revealed would be Ethan's replacement on 90210? Well, here's what he looks like!
His name is Trevor Donovan, and you might recognize him from a stint on Days of Our Lives as bad boy Jeremy Horton or from his days as an Abercrombie and Fitch model (Google will help you out if you need the photographic evidence, pervs).
Producers have tapped Donovan to play suave, charming Teddy, who is a tennis prodigy and the son of a movie star. Teddy sounds like what Steve Sanders was supposed to be, before they cast Ian Ziering and then they were like: OK, he'll be the funny one!
