This week has been a busy one reporters around the globe….
Hot topic of the week: World Hunger? War? Global Warming?……….Of course not..
It’s Kanye West…and he is up to his usual antics once again!
So apparently Mr. West was spotted all over the VMA’s carrying and indulging in what appears to be a life size bottle of Hennessey. Seemingly under control, several photographs of him and girlfriend Amber Rose were photographed through out the night.
Fast forward to Best Female Video of the Year: The nominees included a stellar roster of superstars: Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift….
And yes to much of our surprise, the newbie Taylor Swift took the Moonman, which actually was her first ever…
Almost brings tears to our eyes…but then on live television, the big bad wolf, Kanye West mumbles some drunken gibberish on how Beyonce’s video was the best…ever…
When all was said and done…Taylor Swift stood on stage silenced, as if she was in the nude in front of a large audience….Poor girl, our hearts really do go out to her…
Now we are sure Kanye has felt bad from all the media scrutiny and celebrity commentary…but a statement from Obama …?
We all know and love Lady Gaga for her chart topping music and eccentric style. It seems she never ceases to amaze us from her racy lyrics to her out of this worldfashion sense…
But she just might have set the standard with her latest “costume“!
Lady Gaga completed an interview in Germany where she showed up with a Kermit the Frog couture piece created by Gucci…
Lol…No really, we don’t know who takes credit for the design of this costume…but what we do know that it is interesting to say the least.
It seems as though Lady Gaga has been really pushing the envelope lately with some of her fashion choices…Check out some of her sexy, crazy, and just plain over the toplooks!
The world hasn’t been the same since the untimely death of Michael Jackson last week. It is still almost surreal and fans from across the globe are grieving over the loss of one of the greatest pop icons of our time.
The memorial was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with a packed audience of 17,500; not to mention the thousands of fans that waited outside the arena and an estimated several hundred million viewers from across the globe.
Several performances were held in his honor from Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, John Mayer, and Usher. Sources say Mariah Carey’s performance wasn’t up to her usual standards due to her sentiments at the moment. Nevertheless, the tributes were orchestrated beautifully with Usher’s rendition arguably the most touching. He sang one of MJ’s songs, “Gone to Soon”, which MJ had written in the early 90’s when one of his friends had passed away from HIV.
With all the stars in attendance, performers, and guest speakers, the moment of the memorial which probably brought the world to tears simultaneously was when MJ’s daughter Paris asked for the microphone. She went on to say, “”I just wanted to say…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,”.
Yesterday was surely a day the world will remember forever. June 25th will forever be etched in our minds as the day the King of Pop, Michael Jackson has passed. The world sits today with heavy hearts as we realize our beloved pop icon has gone so suddenly.
MJ was rushed to the hospital yesterday afternoon after a 911 emergency call from his Holmby Hills home. Michael had suffered cardiac arrest and when the paramedics arrived, he was found with no pulse and was unresponsive. Sources say that Michael was dead already when help arrived. He was rushed to UCLA Medical center where physicians tried to revive him, but were unsuccessful.
This news came as a complete shock to the world as MJ had just announced a series of 50 concerts in London’s O2 Arena that was scheduled to begin on July 13th. It was said that tickets were sold out completely in under an hour.
Michael is survived by his three children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
While Michael is gone from the physical world, his legacy is sure to surpass the ages. While most of his career took off way before the digital world we live in today, MJ had the top five album downloads on iTunes store and seven of the top 10 this morning. In addition, in Amazon.com’s CD section, the top 15 sellers were by Michael Jackson or the Jackson 5. And certainly this trend will continue to remain constant.
Despite all of MJ’s allegations and repeated attempts by others to tarnish his reputation, he is the true King of Pop and he will live on through his music.
But lets celebrate his life in true MJ style, check out one of his #1 hits Beat it:
