Have U Heard??

“We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” premiered on Friday night (February 12) during the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Vancouver.

The song features appearances by a number of artists including Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber, Jordin Sparks, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Pink. 

Justin Bieber sang the opening for the song and there was an update that the original didn’t include -  a heavy rap presence, with Wayne, West, Will.I.Am, T-Pain, Bizzy Bone, Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Drake, Mann, Nipsey Hussle, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz all lending their voices to the track.

An appearance by Michael Jackson in the remake was a pleasant surprise.

The video was shot in 3-D, and green-screen technology will allow viewers at home to place themselves in the chorus.  Lionel Richie spoke at a press conference earlier this month where he revealed that  you “can put yourself into the ‘We Are the World’ family from the computer.”  That sounds like a lot of fun!!

What do you think of the rap part that was added to the “new” version of the song??

All proceeds from “We Are the World” singles and video sales will go to the newly formed charity We Are the World Foundation LLC and will then be distributed to Haiti relief efforts.  Click here  for the official website.

According to Ryan Seacrest, there is a chance that Michael Jackson’s children will perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 31, 2010.

Seacrest posted to his twitter account,

‘just talked to the exec prod of @thegrammys…hearing MJs kids may sing. Also Mary J & Andrea Bocelli dueting for Haiti.’

Michael Jackson was extremely protective of his children, I can’t imagine him wanting them to perform at the Grammy Awards.  Why would his guardians allow this?  It makes you wonder if money is involved. What do you think??

This is a must see video of the Philippines “Dancing Inmates” from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). 

Michael Jackson’s choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid teach the inmates of this maximum security prison performances from THIS IS IT.  The dancing is amazing, I really enjoyed the ending.

Last night at the MTV VMA’s Madonna introduced the performance tribute to Michael Jackson. Madonna’s speech was heartfelt, beautiful and thought provoking.

Last night, two months after his untimely death, Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

The King of Pop’s death has been ruled a homicide.  The private funeral was attended by about 200 family and friends, including a host of celebrities.

Among them:

Elizabeth Taylor, Al Sharpton, Mila Kunis, Barry Bonds, Kenny Ortega, Chris Tucker, Macaulay Culkin, Corey Feldman, Lisa Marie Presley, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder.
 Michael will be interred within Forest Lawn’s Great Mausoleum, under a stained glass window depicting Leonardo de Vinci’s Last Supper.  

Each guest received a nine-page embossed invitation to the burial, which included color photographs of Michael Jackson, alongside a quote from the singer’s 1992 book Dancing the Dream.

“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with” .

  RIP

Since Michael Jackson’s death on June 25 there has been numerous rumors and speculation about the cause. Today, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office report on the death of Michael Jackson has finally been released. The King of Pop’s death was due to lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol and has been classified as homicide.

Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s personal physician and the target of the police investigation into the star’s death, was with the him on the day that he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest. Dr. Murray is likely to stand trial for manslaughter after it emerged that he has admitted injecting him with a “cocktail” of sedatives and painkillers.

Michael had the resources to have a personal physician at his side to take care of him, but the doctor did the opposite. What do you think of this new twist in his death?

In this video, Joe Jackson, Michael’s dad, confirms Michael had another son, implying that it is Omer Bhatti. I’m not sure I believe Joe, but Omer definitely looks like Michael Jackson.
What do you think? Do you see a family resemblence?
