Dr. J. makes a house call.
Born in 1985, Australian Orianthi Panagaris has already spiced up her resume. Not only has she cracked the US market, she is also the guitarist in Michael Jackson’s concert movie This Is It. Her debut single “According to You” peaked at No.6 in Australia and is currently sitting at No.20 on the Billboard Hot 100. To be fair, the track has reached No.4 on the Billbord Pop Songs chart.The track is included on the latest WelcheMusic compilation which can be found here.

As this wasn’t odd enough, the title track of her current hit album Believe is none other than Niels Brinck’s “Believe Again” – Denmark’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009. A track that was penned by Boyzone singer Ronan Keating. Watch the original below:

Swedish song-writer Andreas Carlsson has also submitted songs to the album. “Bad News” was written by Carlsson with the help of Desmond Child and Orianthi herself.
Expect Orianthi to get her breakthrough in Europe as well.
The Norwegian downhill ski team recreated the “Beat It” video on top of a montain! It was filmed back in September, but just became popular…Click MORE to see the video!
The dancers are Aksel Lund Svindal, whos won a gold, silver and bronze so far, Kjetil Jansrud, who has a silver, and Lars Elton Myhre, whose best finish do far is 18th. The fourth guy is their coach.
Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” is not your mama’s old school video.
Perhaps Michael Jackson’s “Earthsong” reflects tastes of the past. Maybe environmentally conscious videos are only from the past!? In Jackson’s video, deforestation of the Amazon, the ecological impact of war, and endangered species are highlighted. Ah Michael, you cared about the earth and the people inhabiting it. Here are some of the lyrics from “Earthsong”:
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
But back to Rihanna. What’s up with the lion and zebra?
Who is the sexual object? ? Rihanna? The men? The stuffed lion? The stuffed zebra?
Rihanna: Good Girl Gone Bad?
Somebody call PETA because Rihanna is a rude girl abusing stuffed animals. There ought to be a law.
Well, both videos have zebras . . . I am most assuredly old school.
View This PollJoe Jackson in pursuit of his son’s death records wants the judge assigned to the Michael Jackson Estate Case to acknowledge the father’s right to sue media outlets for publishing photos of his dead son.
Jackson’s estate executors expressed outrage, and said access to medical reports would violate Michael’s physician-patient privilege as well as his fundamental privacy rights.
Joe argued MJ’s UCLA Medial Center records aren’t governed by doctor-patient confidentiality since the pop star was brought dead to the hospital. Jackson family lawyer, Brian Oxman, filed legal documents claiming legal precedent allows a family to sue in such a case. Oxman’s filing is also aimed at allowing Joe to file a wrongful death action “against the people who caused his son’s death.”
Executors response to Jackson, who is requesting funds from his son’s estate to finance his investigation into the singer’s death, is that he is attempting to gain access to the records by making his request in a suit which he initially sought to gain a monthly stipend from the estate, that has nothing to do with wrongful death or medical records.
They further stated that Joe Jackson is not listed as a beneficiary of Michael Jackson’s estate and therefore has no right to sue on his son’s behalf; and that he is not entitled to a family allowance and thus cannot be paid an allowance to prosecute a wrongful death action.
The elder Jackson argued that wife, Katherine — who called Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of killing their son, a “monster” — and MJ’s children — one of whom offered to testify at Dr. Murray’s trial — are in fact beneficiaries of the estate and support him in his request to the court.
Sister La Toya Jackson seemingly speaking for the family said “Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved and I will not rest, and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served.”
The Judge assigned to the Michael Jackson estate case delayed issuing a ruling on the patriarch’s request for medical records asking for further time to consider the arguments put forward by Joe’s lawyer. He is expected to announce his decision in a matter of days.

Okay now okay we all know about the earth quakes in Haiti.
So music Artist have been fund raising. but after watching this we are the worl redo, i was highly disgusted. like seriously i know they are trying to help, but how the fuck to do get that many Music artists together and come out with the worst sound i ever heard in my life. okay Miley cirus, justin Bieber you SUCKED!
why would you ad rappers to we are the world????? seriously i really don’t get why they did that, who ever is responsible for doing this shud be fired. the rappers murdered the song (yes is a most horrible way too).
They couldn’t even let go of the Auto-Tune shit for the sake of Haiti. Good grief…then they had to go and continue the shit with garbage rapping. T-Pain and Lil’ Wayne should go skip rocks with their faces across an active volcano.
rappers should had sat the fuck down got some cookie which am sure they were serving and just danced in the background .WTF!!!
i know MJ is prolly like : What a fuck up…I am DISAPPOINTED
although i hope the raised enough money with this piece of shit and helped the Haitian people….Thank you
Kent Twitchell's King of Pop at LOOK Gallery
In the early ’90s, Michael Jackson posed for American mural artist Kent Twitchell. The work was originally slated for feature on the side of the now El Capital Theatre building in California. But the piece was never shown.
Kent Twitchell- a modern Michaelangelo
But Michael Jackson has a way of making a comeback, and the 100 foot tall thriller was revived last year in April at the LOOK Gallery (California).
The sheer enormity of the thing is king. It’s mind boggling to think how much work this took.
Twitchell is known for his larger than life size realist portraits of celebrities, politicians and other infamous figures, most often exhibited in public spaces, giving new life to city scapes.
Dear diary,
hello. Today is musical tuesday. well according to youtube and my radio it is 
. so.. umm… lets see i wanted to post this song that i really likes. its We are the world 25 for haiti.
Now I don’t care what u think but i actually found this very touching. One of my favorite part in this is when P!nk goes: “we aaare the woorld. wee aare the children”. K lol :p i kinda messed that up. ok so here u go
XD nice right?
Let me start this post off by saying that with the remake of the We Are the World I hope that a ton of money is raised to aid the folks in Haiti. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, here’s how I feel about the remake: it bloody sucks. Yes, I said it.
So there I was last week with my telly blaring done the hall as I worked on the computer and then I heard the beginning strains of the “new” We Are The World and started thinking … hey, now that not’s so bad. Several seconds later, I regret that thought as I heard streaming from my telly what seemed to be mixed-mash cacophony of chaos passing for music. Seriously mates, it was horrid. It sounded like the bloody song mutated and had a bout of tourette’s. Dear, oh dear.
It is safe to say that it was a case of good intentions. Unfortunately, when folks decided to muck it up by adding their “uniqueness” to it (read: rap), well it sort of bollocksed it all up. The beauty of the original one was that it was smooth, seamless and everyone seemed to sing of one voice despite their musical backgrounds. In the new remake, it seemed like everyone wanted to do their own thing, and instead of We Are the World it came of sound like We Are The Tower of Babel. Sorry, the older version was pristine and masterfully done. I understand that this was done from the heart with good intentions and all that good stuff, but I am afraid that there are somethings under these blue skies that are not meant to be changed. Sorry.
Even though the start of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver are dominating most sports headlines this weekend, the NBA will be wrapping up their All-Star festivities in Dallas, Texas with their annual clash between the best players from the East and the West Conferences. The All-Star game will definitely be entertaining, but I have never really been a fan of it, or any All-Star games for that matter. The fact that these games are glorified exhibition contests (even though the MLB game counts) has never appealed to me. However, during half-time, Usher Raymond is going to give the fans at the New Cowboys Stadium and the rest of us watching at home something worth tuning in for.
Alicia Keys and Shakira will also be performing in Dallas tonight, but they will both be singing some of their most recent songs for the audience; Usher will not only be performing his hit single “More,” (which was used as part of the NBA All-Star game promo), but he will also sing his hit song “Yeah,” from his 2004 album, Confessions. This is just going to be the latest performance by Usher, who has a new album coming out on March 30th, entitled Raymond v. Raymond.
Usher is my favorite artist of all time, so not only am I excited for his newest album to drop in stores next month, but I love just about anything he does. A lot of critics feel that this album will be his best since Confessions because most of the material in his songs will be about his recent divorce from Tameka Fisher. There is no question that Usher is a much better artist when his songs are about heartbreak, rather than his songs about being in love. So, even though I’m sad that his marriage had to end in divorce and his two kids will have to deal with it as well, I’m a little excited to hear his new songs because I know he’s going to capitalize on this sad transgression in his life… just look at Confessions.
Now that Michael Jackson’s time on Earth has ended, people will soon be eager to crown a new King of Pop. Jay-Z was quoted recently saying that Usher is the artist that is most worthy of taking over this title. If that somehow becomes official, I know that will be quite the emotional time for him since Jackson was such a huge influence on both his life and career. I totally agree with Jay-Z and think that this should happen; once Raymond v. Raymond hits the stores and Usher rises to the top of the charts, calling him the King of Pop will only be a matter of time.
Watch the NBA All-Star game tonight at 8p on TNT- not for the exhibition game, but to see one of the best artists of our time perform.
Michael Jackson’s former personal physician Conrad Murray turned himself in at a branch courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport Monday, pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter of Jackson and was released from jail after posting $75,000 bail.
Michael’s father Joe Jackson and mother Katherine appeared in court along with siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy.
Joe Jackson and his attorney Brian Oxman spoke to Larry King on “Larry King Live” later that day declaring Murray should be charged with the more severe charge of Murder II, and Murray was apart of a conspiratorial plot to kill the late musician.
“To me, he’s just a fall guy. There’s other people, I think, involved with this whole thing. But I think that [once] he’s interrogated – he would come clean and tell everything he knows,” Joe Jackson told King Monday.
“I was looking for justice, and justice, to me, would be the murder charge.”
“Michael said to himself that he would be killed, and he told his mother that. ‘Cause he’s afraid that ah, he was afraid, to even do all of these shows, because he was afraid that he wouldn’t get a chance to finish all of the show because he couldn’t,” Joe Jackson said referring to the 50-date residency at London’s O2.
“He couldn’t do all those shows back-to-back. Even his kids say that he had told them that he would be murdered.”
Joe blamed “a whole slew of” people along with Murray for Michael’s death including Frank DiLeo and Dr. Tohme Tohme.
LaToya Jackson also issued a statement after the hearing Monday stating that other people were involved in Michael’s death.
“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was apart of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served,” LaToya wrote.
Jermaine Jackson told CNN Monday the involuntary manslaughter charge is “not enough.”
A complaint filed by prosecutors claims that Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson” by acting “without due caution and circumspection required” when administering the prescription drugs in question.
Michael had told people, such as his mother, prior to his murder that he was afraid he would be poisoned.
Also, Michael had stated in several interviews, including with Martin Bashir, that he believed there was a conspiratorial plot against him to slander him, silence him and eventually murder him because he would not go along with the wishes of the conspirators.
Murray is a member of the Freemasons according to Fox News; a centuries-old fraternal order with members including numerous heads of state in the Western World, wealthy business people and local middle-class citizens.
See their report HERE
In July Fox reported Murray’s friends told their news group that since joining this fraternal order three years ago “this new network galvanized his growing side business [his traveling medical concierge business]” and placed him within the network of AEG LIVE executives in-charge of Michael’s forthcoming London concerts who recommended Murray to Michael.
See our article on Murray’s Freemason allegiance HERE
A theory swirling around the world is that the Masonic organization Murray belongs to brought him connections with powerful people within the recording companies and touring agencies that are also members of that organization, and they conspired together to continuously drug Michael, sway him to assign his rights to music copyrights and other income streams over to them while under the influence of drugs.
Under closer examination of numerous current music videos and performances from the musicians employed by the few big American music companies, one can find a blatant recurring theme of allusions to Freemasonry and Illuminati lending credence to the theory.
Michael’s later work, such as the video for “They Don’t Care About Us” included allusions to battling against a sinister cabal, such as the Illuminati.
See our article on Michael’s conspiratorial claims HERE
The Jackson attorney Oxman told Larry King Monday, “I think they intended to take a superstar, a megastar, and have him do what they wanted him to do, and one of the ways to do it was to give him every drug he could possibly ask for.”
If Murray is convicted, he faces up to four years in prison.

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Not Licensed to Prescribe Controlled Drugs in Californiahttp://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/07/06/michael-jacksons-doctor-licensed-prescribe-controlled-drugs-california/
I’m sure we’re all aware of the terrible tragedy that occured in poverty stricken country, Haiti. 25 years ago, Quincy Jones gathered artists to create one of the biggest songs written by the Late Michael Jackson, We Are The World. A new version of this song was made after the earthquake struck Haiti, to raise awareness of how devastating this earthquake was to the people of Haiti and in hope that people to lend a helping hand. This song united Divas, legends, Hiphop & R’n'B artists and even the Late Michael Jackson and more!…
Hope you enjoyed the video and the song and find it in your hearts to help Haiti!
A bunch of performers/Celebrities/Artists, which included some big names like Lionel Richie, Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Hudson,The Jonas Brothers, Toni Braxton, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and more (the list is endless) have joined forces for a new version of 1985’s “We Are The World”, which was penned by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie 25 years ago to benefit Africa. The official video for the Haiti relief benefited song has now debuted during the coverage of the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Let me say this. I’m not a football fan. I could give a rat’s a*% who wins. To me the Super Bowl is just another day to yell at the TV, eat a lot of food and drink. Sounds like my typical weekend. However, I always look forward to the commercials and the halftime performances. Here are my top 3 performances from Super Bowl memory lane:
3. I don’t think you can talk about the Super Bowl Halftime Show without talking about the Janet Jackson performance. Now let me say this. Yes, it was the breast seen around the world. Yes, you forgot about every other performance that night. Yes, it was a “WTF” moment in Super Bowl halftime history. But regardless of the malfunction, she put on a great show………period! I hate the fact that Janet took a hard fall to something that really wasn’t a big deal. Plus during the aftermath, Justin Timberlake played the situation like a Maury Povich guest who just got the results from a paternity test (you “are” the baby’s father). Didn’t JT apologize 50 years later about how he handled the situation?!?! What the hell?!? Anyway, despite all that, I still stand on the fact that Janet put on a great show. If it wasn’t for Janet, Britney Spears wouldn’t know who to copy.
2. I just love this performance by Prince. Between his guitar solo behind the sheet and the Marching 100, this was a jaw dropping show. I don’t know if he scheduled the rain with his “Purple Rain” performance but it really works . Plus he’s the only dude with heels and your mama’s headrag who still looks good. I’m serious!!! I mean that with all sincerity and no humorous malice. I love Prince!!!! How does he do that?!? I’m in awe.
1. You can’t have a post about Super Bowl halftime without having the “one” who’s done it better than anyone else!!! That’s the one and only Michael Jackson. This dude stands still for 1 to 2 minutes “letting it simmer” and thousands are screaming like they won a check from Publishing Clearing House. Do you hear me!?!? Who else can do that??? Only Michael!
Go on Michael..let it simmer…..do yo thang!!!!

The 1985 charity anthem “We are the World” has new life and a new sound.
More than 75 mega-stars gathered Monday to re-record the song in the same Hollywood recording studio where the original was cut 25 years ago.
Pink, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Tony Bennett, Jennifer Hudson, Akon and other musical luminaries stood shoulder to shoulder on risers at Henson Recording studios.
At one point during the session, the musicians broke out into an a cappella version of the pop classic “Lean on Me.”
True to her diva reputation, Barbara Streisand recorded her solo over and over, completely absorbed in the recording process and stopping only to correct her pitch.
Quincy Jones announced last week that he planned to redo the song to benefit earthquake recovery in Haiti.
The original was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.

Michael Jackson is a legend, his song weren’t only meant to make us dance but to make us think. This song is one of them. This is the Michael Jackson tribute of “What About Us” performed by Celine Dion, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson and Carrie Underwood.
Some people say the tribute could have been better and bigger, but seriously? Do we need to do that all the time? I thought this tribute was perfect for this song. Lets not take away from the music by having too much bells and whistles and too many celebs. Lets focus on what MJ would have wanted us to focus on, which are the lyrics.
