Maybe you were one of the few who watched Paris Jackson’s emotional speech at the end of her father’s memorial and thought, “Wow, is this whole thing scripted for the entertainment value?” If you were, then you are not alone. (See what I did there?) (continue reading…)

Kelly Clarkson’s single cover for “Already Gone” has just hit the internet and we’ve also got some promotional shots from the video for you today.

For those who love Kelly, like myself, we can’t wait for more! Click ‘more’ to see all of the shots! (continue reading…)

Brooke Hogan’s new song, “Ruff Me Up” has just leaked and we have the audio for your listening pleasure (or not).

The song features Flo Rida and it sounds to me like it’s kind of danc-ey, but it still doesn’t fare well against popular dance tracks like anything by Lady Gaga. (continue reading…)

If you were at the Staples Center earlier today to witness the pomp and circumstance surrounding Michael Jackson’s funeral celebration, then you got one of these handy booklets.

How long before these little trinkets end up on eBay? I guess those people who purchased scalped tickets need to have some way to recoup the costs of the funeral, huh? (continue reading…)

Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris-Michael Katherine, gave a rare speaking appearance as she took the stage at her father’s memorial. She said, “Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him so much.” (continue reading…)

The celebration of Michael Jackson’s life begun at the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 11am PST, on a clear July Tuesday in balmy weathered California. What amazing coverage of the funeral/memorial (CNN has all the videos broken down by presenter):

RIP Michael. (continue reading…)

I’ve been a fan of the French artist DJ Zebra for some time now, and was pleasantly surprised to get news that he’s been working on an exhaustive mashup compilation — the central theme being Woodstock festival (with a lot of original audio). What makes the whole thing so special is the refreshingly contemporary appeal of the whole project. From an intro by Country Joe Mc Donald that morphs into a chanting beat with Big Soul, Pink and Michael Jackson running through it (F*&k the Hippies) to a culmination with Jimi Hendrix jamming out on the guitar as the Beastie Boys in what is the obvious outlier to the whole set.

Download entire CD, get track list info and listen, all after the jump. (continue reading…)

Chris Brown and Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose were snapped playing tonsil hockey with each other at Diddy’s white party.

Gross. Anyone who wants to date Chris after what he did to Rihanna, has to be out of their minds.

Am I wrong?

We’ve heard that Michael Jackson’s final resting place will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, but we’re not sure yet as to whether or not Michael’s body will be at his memorial tomorrow at Staples Center.

ET has streaming footage of the Jackson family arriving at the cemetery along with a police escort and a hearse.

I wonder if they’re burying him tonight or whether it’s just a private ceremony. Well, private I guess, until you count ET flying over their heads with a chopper trying to get some sort of scoop.

Update: We’ve just learned that Michael’s body will be on display front and center at the Staples Center tomorrow.

Michael Jackson was videotaped where he was questioned about his relationship with young boys along with Macaulay Culkin. He responded that he is not gay and that he was following the teachings of Jesus.

Check out the video footage of him from 1996: (continue reading…)

It seems Portugal’s youth aren’t too keen on Nickelback because someone started throwing rocks at the stage during their set (in what I can only assume was part of a larger concert with bands the Portuguese actually wanted to see).

But I guess someone didn’t appreciate Chad Kroeger‘s remarks to the crowd (“Have we got any Nickelback fans in Portugal?”; crowd seems to say no, or boo; “You guys wanna hear some rock and roll or go home?”; the answer came in the form of a rock to the noggin, at which point Chad rolls out).
