Doctors aren't the only ones in the cross hairs of authorities who want to find out how Michael Jackson scored various drugs, including anesthesia -- turns out Jackson knew his way around various dental offices as well.
As we have already reported, medical professionals have told TMZ Jackson was an "anesthesia addict," who would would seek out Propofoland other drugs that would sedate him or knock him out. Law enforcement is aware of this, sources say, and dental offices are part of their investigation.
Several Los Angeles doctors have told TMZ it was known in medical circles that Jackson used dentists to feed his habit.
A story just published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal buttresses the stories we've been reporting -- that Jackson had "doctor shopping" down to a science. According to the report, in 2003, a doctor (who spoke on the condition of anonymity) was summoned to Jackson's suite at the Mirage in Vegas.
The doctor says Jackson complained of a sore throat and cough and quickly determined it was a ploy to score prescription drugs. The doctor said, "The whole thing was staged. It was all a lie. They just wanted drugs. They wanted me to call in all these pills under someone else's name."
The doctor says when he refused to go along, Jackson's handlers intimidated him, saying doctors always helped the singer. The MD says at one point he said, "I'll see what I can do," and the handler "came up to me and put a finger in my chest and said 'You do that.'"
A local Scottsdale dentist may have set a new record for both speed and douchebaggery in his Lamborghini Murcielago. A video posted on YouTube -- and currently under investigation by the Arizona Department of Public Safety -- shows the Lambo reaching speeds of about 219 mph -- on a public road!
Although the video never shows the driver's face, his voice is heard. The man behind the wheel is rumored to be one Robert Simyar, Dentist/Porn Website Owner. Nik Richie at DirtyScottsdale.com uncovered some photos of one of the stars of Simyar's site -- and what appears to be the same Lambo being used as a prop. While the dentist's preoccupation with speed shows no regard for the lives of others on the road, both of his occupations are making people smile.

Only in LA can you walk into your dentist's office, rinse, spit and ask for concert tickets on the Sunset Strip. But when your dentist is Dr. Grant Loosvelt, that's exactly what can happen.
Dr. Loosvelt is a super-star dentist who's made appearances on ABC's 'Extreme Makeover,' NBC's 'Average Joe' and 'The Tyra Banks Show,' to perform dental makeovers on various guests.
But at night, he's a rock star. The doctor's band, Love Child Suicide, produces pure rock 'n' roll, drawing from Hollywood's deepest roots. Loosvelt plays keyboards in the band with Zak Ambrose (vocals/guitar), James McCutchen (drums), Matt Heyerly (bass), and the band is on the verge of erupting after only three years together.
Love Child Suicide, previously known as Five Star, performs at Hollywood hotspots throughout Los Angeles, and we caught up with them... literally... during a night at the Roxy.
Watch the TMZ video to see Dr. Loosvelt in action as the dentist that celebrities trust with their teeth, and as the rock star he is at night.
