Report: Sissy Spacek finally gets a star for the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!! It’s about damn time too!!

Sissy Spacek who rose to fame for her role in Stephen King’s “Carrie” finally gets a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s about time too. Why does this have to happen now when this should have happened to her a long time ago? Congrats Sissy!

More on the story, here.

I’ll be going on vacation to Los Angeles, California to visit family members that moved there in the Fall and I’m probably going to check out the Walk of Fame. I’m looking forward to checking out L.A. for the first time as I never been to Hollywood before. Always wanted to. Soon I’ll be able to in Oct. I’ve been to San Diego in California but never Los Angeles yet.

Cool Video: People pay tribute to Janet Jackson in the streets of L.A.

I hate Janet Jackson but this is really quite amazing, you can’t deny that. Regular people like us, pay tribute to Janet the pop star by dancing along to her songs in the streets of L.A. Janet herself watches from above.

They probably just want to make her happy to help her get over the death of her brother, MJ. Not just to respect her as a music artist.

Thought: About the MJ Memorial review at the Staples Center…

So I saw some of the MJ memorial, not all of it. The DVR only recorded half of it while I was gone. So I’ll watch the rest of it on the internet.

From what I see though, most of the speeches from the guests were okay, but who gave the best speech of the MJ Memorial? Why…it’s no one other than MJ’s little girl, Paris Jackson. Paris Jackson indeed, gave the best Eulogy speech for her late father, when she says, “He’s the best daddy in the world, I miss him so much” and all that, then she breaks down crying in front of the mic, that was heartbreaking.

The reason Paris gave the best speech is that, she made Michael Jackson feel that he’s more human and more real than any other celebrity guests that did a speech about him.

With the Paris Jackson speech, you gotta feel horrible for that poor little girl. It was very sad.

Well, there’s a perfect ending right there for the “Michael Jackson” biopic film for Hollywood. I also think Paris Jackson will become a famous singer just like her father when she gets older. It’s good to finally see her unmasked out in the public.

As for the best live performances at the MJ Memorial, I would say Stevie Wonder once again, blew my fucking mind. Stevie wrote an original song that was about Michael Jackson. He sang with pure emotion and sadness, it was an amazing performance. I was in awe. Everytime I see Stevie Wonder perform live on TV, you just know he’s not going to suck everytime!

I also loved Jermaine Jackson’s performance when he sang that “Smile” song.

The rest of the performances on the MJ Memorial weren’t that great. Yes, Mariah Carey sucked, she sang horrible, I thought, and she is not hot looking anymore as she used to be. As for the pregnant Jen Hudson when she did that song from the “Free Willy” movie, I don’t think she did that great either.

It was a pretty good Memorial show although I would say it should have been done a little better.

No matter what you think of Michael Jackson. Call him a pedophile, or sick weirdo, or hate him all you want. It’s a fact that MJ was too important to the music industry. He created amazing music, and one of the best live performers that ever lived.

If you honestly think that Michael Jackson is nothing to the music industry, then that proves that you know nothing about music at all, and you have no business being a music fan if you really think Michael Jackson didn’t impact the world. He was a very powerful figure in the entertainment business. That’s why it’s a sad loss and why he gets so much media coverage.

The world wasn’t ready to lose Michael Jackson this soon. I just wished he lived a little longer so he can be there for his kids and his fans when they were looking forward to his musical comeback.

I agree that his personal life is disturbing like most people out there, but you have to understand that he is still a music legend and he was important to the music world. If you hate everything about Michael Jackson and thinks he’s a nobody, you have no clue what music is all about.

MJ was and is one of the best pop artists that ever came around. I’m not into pop music much, but I always admired MJ’s music and took his music very seriously. RIP, MJ.

Report: Musicians and celebrity guests that will be appearing at Michael Jackson’s public memorial at the Staples Center tomorrow…

Musicians and celebrities that were friends and supporters of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, will be there as special guests to perform a song or do a eulogy speech for the late pop star.

As TMZ once already reported, Mariah Carey will be there to perform her Jackson 5 cover of “I’ll Be There”. Other musicians will include Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, and I’m sure there will be more surprise special guest appearances.

How much do you want to bet that Stevie Wonder is going to cover the Jackson hit, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”? The song fits Stevie perfectly. I would think Usher would probably do either “Billie Jean” or “Thriller”.

John Mayer for “Beat It” or “Black Or White” since those MJ songs has guitar in them? Jennifer Hudson I guess will probably do “Heal The World”. These are just my guesses on the songs they might be doing, we’ll have to watch it tomorrow to see what songs they’ll do.

I’ll be watching. Although I’ll have to work all day tomorrow, I’ll record the Jackson Memorial on my DVR and will watch it when I get home.

Maybe Eddie Van Halen will come on stage to solo on “Beat It” at the Staples Center?

Report: Michael Jackson’s Public Memorial will be at Staples Center for FREE Tuesday…

The plans for Michael Jackson’s public memorial service has been unveiled by the Jackson family. Plans for the public service will be at the Staples Center in L.A., Cali and they’re giving away FREE tickets for a FREE admission of the show. 17,500 tickets will be giving away with only 11,000 tickets allowing fans to go inside the arena to see the memorial service.

Can’t afford the plane trip to Cali to see MJ’s funeral service at the Staples Center? Not too worry. MTV, Vh1 and Vh1 classic will be airing the whole thing live. I’ll definitely be watching. I have to work that day, thank god for DVR’s.

Not only fans will show up for the public funeral service, this will definitely be a huge celebrity turn out. I’m sure lots of celebrities and other famous musicians will be there to say goodbye to the King of Pop.

Maybe even Sylvester Stallone will be there now he’s done shooting, Expendables?

The funeral service Tuesday will be quite interesting and looking forward to seeing how they are going to do it. Wouldn’t surprise me if Janet Jackson and the Jackson brothers will perform MJ songs at the Funeral Service at the Staples too.

Cool Video: MJ watches his dancers rehearse at the Staples Center…

Here is MJ sitting down watching his dancers practice on stage while his music is playing. MJ’s vocals playing on the speakers while he’s sitting there is good enough proof that he was going to lip synch this tour.

He looks like he’s in a good mood. He’s looking upbeat and positive right there.

It’s possible that doc that prescribed him those drugs, murdered him.

Cool Video: Michael Jackson final rehearsal live performance at the Stapless Center…

This is absolutely amazing. Very tight and intense performance. MJ is lip synching, of course, but he still had the dance moves, and he surprisingly looks absolutely awesome on stage.

So sad that MJ had to go like this. There were no signs of depression or stress, he always seems like a very happy person, all the time.

This is a pretty sick performance. After watching this, I can’t wait for the DVD release of this rehearsal now.

I posted this in the “celebrities” section since Los Angeles and San Diego are both popular with celebrities living in both cities.

Glad it wasn’t a huge quake.
