Cool Video: Michael Jackson in person at the O2 arena, press conference…

Here is Jacko’s press conference at the O2 arena. Yes, this is the real Michael Jackson himself on stage, unmasked and all. While I am a fan of Jacko’s music, I must say that he does look like a fucking freak! Maybe Jacko would be Heath Ledger’s replacement as the Joker for the next Dark Knight film, HA! It’s amazing to me that people still love Jacko after all these years, man, look at all these crazed fans screaming for the guy. Did Jacko just announce a retirement from music? He just said, “This is it” and the O2 shows will be his last of his performances.

Enjoy the video below…

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies!!!

While Rihanna is refusing to press charges on her woman beating boyfriend, Chris Brown, this is still not stopping the D.A. to press charges on him. He has been charged with 2 felonies, if found guilty, the rapper could face four years and 8 months in prison.

TMZ reports:

While this is good news, I don’t see Chris Brown being put away. Riri and her father would probably defend the guy when they testify, so he can walk with no problem.

Report: Michael Jackson announces 10 shows at the O2 arena in July…

Michael Jackson is scheduled to perform 10 dates at the O2 arena in July. Michael Jackson, the man himself, is expected to appear in person to make the announcement at the O2 Arena later today.

NME.com reports:

It’s understandable why he would want to play so many shows at the same venue instead of going on a world tour. I wonder if he’ll perform his entire song catalog throughout those ten dates? It’s probably what’s going to happen if he can’t think of other songs to do. He probably has new material up his sleeve too.

Teen star, Dakota Fanning is in talks to play the leading role as Cheri Currie frontwoman of “The Runaways”, the biopic of the all girl punk rock band from the 70’s. Before you go thinking that Dakota Fanning is too young to be playing Cheri Currie, since Dakota is now 15 years old, Cheri was about her age around the time she was in the band.

“Twilight’s” Kristen Stewart is set to play Joan Jett in, “The Runaways” movie.

The Runaways, rocked.

Report: U2 gets street name after them in NYC…”U2 Way”…

As the Irish rock band, U2, are performing on David Letterman all week long to promote their new album, “No Line on the Horizon”, the band gets their own street named after them. What is the street name? It is simply named, “U2 Way”. The new street, “U2 Way” is across from 53rd street near the Ed Sullivan Theater, and the street will only have the new name for one week. So where the streets have no name, finally has a name after all!

Congrats to Michael. He deserves a musical comeback and looking forward to it. No kidding. No joking. I like the King of Pop.

They’re probably going to video tape Michael Jackson’s concerts in London for a live DVD set to release in stores.

This is great news! Welcome back to the music world, Jacko! Finally!

Report: Faces reunion rumours, inspires real Faces reunion…but needs Rod Stewart’s approval first…

While there is no chance of a full time Faces reunion, there is still a possibility of a part time Faces reunion. All those rumours of Rod Stewart and Flea (Chilli Peppers bassist) reuniting the band, inspired keyboardist Ian McLagan to make the actual reunion happen for real. McLagan said he talked to the rest of the band members at lunch in London, so it seems the other guys in the band are down with the reunion.

They asked Rod Stewart to join them, and they are waiting for a return call by Rod to see if Rod wants to join in on the reunion. The plan is to play a couple of concerts and film them for a live video.

Billboard reports:

Come on, Rod! Say yes to joining them! Keep our fingers crossed!

I know Rod Stewart’s solo music isn’t for everyone, I don’t care for his solo music either, but I’ll say it again, I loved him in the Faces though. The Faces were a pretty tight kick ass in your face blues rock band. The Faces were great!

I hope they come back for this one time! This is one reunion to actually care about!

Report: Losing my respect to China, country bans Oasis from playing there…

Those fuckin’ Chinese. Are they going to hate on any musician or famous person because they had something to do with “Tibet”? WTF?

The famous UK rock band, Oasis, has two concerts booked in China, but the Chinese government revoked the band’s performance license so they won’t be allowed to play in their country during their world tour. The Chinese government told Ticketmaster China to cancel those two shows. One was booked at the Beijing’s Capital Arena and the other at the Shanghai Grand Stage.

The reason? They discovered that Noel Gallagher played a free Tibet solo concert on Randall’s Island in New York City back in 1997.  The Chinese also attacked Icelandic singer, Bjork, for her Tibet chants in her concerts over there as well.

The band responded back saying they are dissapointed and hopes they’ll change their mind about this.

Billboard reports:

Oasis has been a favorite band of mine for years, and they still are. Let them play in China!!!!

I’m sick of China’s hatred at people from other countries!!! The world doesn’t revolve around you!

Thanks to America for not supporting the Jonas Brothers movie…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Finally! The tweens gets bombed in America with the Jonas Brothers concert movie only making 12.7  million while “Madea Goes to Jail” did surprisingly well in the box office.

The Jonas Brothers suck. A fake tweeny band manufactured and put together by Disney.  I’m sick of these fictional and fake acts like Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, etc. getting the fame. The music industry is so fake as shit these days. It’s sad. The music industry is dead. To me, it doesn’t exist anymore. I stopped obsessing with the music industry ever since Kurt Cobain killed himself.
