Cool Video: U2 pays respects to MJ at Barcelona…

In the start of U2’s tour, they kicked it off at Barcelona. Bono and the boys tribute the great Michael Jackson by performing their song, “Angel of Harlem” from their album, Rattle and Hum. Toward the end of the song, Bono sings a few MJ classics.

When the song got over with, the audience did this amazing chant which I believe was aimed directly at Michael Jackson, not U2.

Watch this amazing performance here.

Ok, no public Michael Jackson viewing at Neverland, Jackson family says…

TmZ report here:

http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/01/jackson-family-no-public-viewing-at-neverland/

That’s great actually! MJ and his family deserve to have the memorial private, they don’t really need the public and the media cashing in on them.

I thought the public viewing at Neverland Ranch was a crazy idea anyway.

They’re still doing the public memorial, but it will be else where. Friday will be a huge day for TV, so if you don’t want to deal with MJ’s memorial, don’t watch your TV at all.

Thought: Brock doesn’t think Johnny Depp would make a good Michael Jackson for biopic movie…

Johnny Depp has expressed interest in playing Michael Jackson in the biopic film and rumours already hit the net hard that Depp is on for the role, but sorry to say, I don’t think Depp is a good choice for Jackson. Depp doesn’t look like MJ, and Johnny is too big and muscular, when Jackson is short and skinny.

To play the young version of Michael Jackson in the biopic, they would need a young black actor that fits his looks. For the full grown white skinned version of MJ, the face would need to be similar, the actor won’t have a white face of course, but that’s what the makeup artist is for in Hollywood.

So I would guess in the MJ biopic, MJ won’t be played by the same actor all the way through, I’ll think they’ll have different actors since MJ had so many different looks and styles over the years.

It’ll be hard to find an actor to play MJ that’ll match his looks ’cause MJ is unique in his own ways. I don’t know who will be good actors for MJ’s biopic ’cause MJ can’t be copied by anybody else.

As for who to direct it, I’m going to think someone at the top of my head and get it out of the way, it’ll be no one other than Sylvester Stallone to direct the MJ biopic. You may not agree with this choice, but I think Sly will do a good job since Sly knew MJ personally and they were friends. Who knows, maybe Sly will actually get that opportunity, that be great if he did.

If not Sly Stallone, I would also say: Spike Lee, Cameron Crowe, and Martin Scorsese. Spike Lee would probably be the best choice, since he knows the black community more than anybody. I picked Cameron Crowe because he has a strong knowledge for music and would know MJ’s history very well since he used to be a Rollingstone writer.

Anyways, the MJ biopic will get a huge Oscar nod, it’s aiming for the Oscars, everybody knows it.

Be ready for Friday….

MJ’s memorial and public funeral at Neverland, Friday. This could get aired live on TV, every single channel. Santa Barbara, Cali is going to be a packed madhouse. Nobody ever said  Friday’s Memorial will be aired live on TV or not, but I think it definitely will.

Somehow I think they are doing this for material for MJ’s Hollywood biopic film for an emotional ending.

MJ’s casket will probably be surrounded by a lot of cops and possibly the US Army too, so MJ’s body can be protected from thieves.  So to those who live in Cali, I know a few people who live out there, avoid the Santa Barbara traffic on Thursday/Friday if you can.

TMZ will probably be showing the whole thing as well on their live cams. It’s going to be interesting to see how the Jackson family will do the memorial Friday. Looking forward to seeing it.

Report: Donald Trump blogs about MJ, says the media doing 24/7 coverage on his death is the right thing…

The Donald blogs about Michael Jackson on his website. He says the media is doing the right thing covering MJ’s death 24/7, and sorry to say, I actually agree with the Donald. MJ deserves this, the world needs to celebrate MJ’s life and career, get away from our disgusting politics news for a while.

See the Donald’s blog here:

Report: Neverland Ranch public viewing will be this Friday, private memorial Sunday…

MJ’s body will be brought to Neverland Ranch on Thursday for a public viewing of the memorial on Friday. Yes, Friday’s memorial at Neverland Ranch will be for the public where fans and supporters can grieve for the King of Pop, live in person. On Thursday, there will be over 30 cars to travel Jackson’s body to Neverland Ranch, it will probably be a parade like, similar to when a US President dies, example, Ronald Reagan’s funeral.

Sunday’s Memorial will be a private one, probably for MJ’s family members and friends only.

More on it here:

I’m sure Thursday’s traveling of Jackson’s body and the public viewing on Friday at Neverland Ranch will probably be aired live on TV…like Reagan’s funeral.

If I had the money to travel to California again, I go see the Jackson public viewing at Neverland. It would have been interesting to see.

Defending MJ: Those who call him a pedophile are not very intelligent people at all…

You know, when people are calling Michael Jackson a pedophile, I just laugh at them and ignore them all. I find it worthless to defend Michael Jackson, that I just don’t bother doing it ’cause people will always think they are right that he is a pedophile, no matter what anybody says. I figure this is the perfect time to defend Michael Jackson, right now.

I find it pretty humorous that these not so bright music fans, believe everything they read and see in the entertainment news. Especially from the rich and famous. That Jordan Chandler kid was a trouble maker, and if people actually believed everything that kid is saying that Jackson was a child predator, wow. Michael thought Jordan was one of his best friends and turns out that he wasn’t after this. When you’re rich and famous like Michael, you’re going to get used by people for their money and fame. That’s what happened to MJ.

The Jordan Chandler kid and his stupid father, Evan Chandler, tried to ruin, Michael Jackson. Look where MJ is now. They did a fine job ruining MJ’s life and career. I blame Jordan and Evan of how MJ’s life turned out to be now.

Before Jackson’s trial, how did you know that Jackson molested that Jordan kid? Were you there to witness it yourself? No. Do you know MJ personally enough to accuse him of being a predator? No. If you do not know these things and haven’t seen them, then you have no right to call Jackson a pedophile. I’m glad you weren’t in the jury of that trial back then.

Latoya Jackson, Michael’s older sister, even accused him of being a pedophile, but later on retracted her opinion on him and agreed that he wasn’t later on.

Michael was even accused of molesting his long time best friend and hollywood child star, Macaulay Culkin…but Macaulay defended MJ in court and explained he never did…

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/05/11/jackson.trial/index.html

Michael Jackson is easily accused of being a predator because of his love for children. Like I said before, just because you like children, doesn’t mean you’re a predator or a pedophile.

I also believe that how Michael Jackson came out to be today was that his father, Joe Jackson was abusive to MJ when he was a child during the Jackson 5 days. Of course, I’m not blaming Joe Jackson for his death, but an abusive father is definitely a little part of it.

MJ was not a monster that many people are claiming him to be. He helped and saved children’s lives from all the over world, it was MJ that brought the public’s attention to HIV/AIDS when no one knew about those diseases back then.

So before, accusing someone of being a pedophile, needs to get their facts straight first. Why worry about Michael Jackson when you should be worrying about your own life and your own family? Michael Jackson is just an entertainment star and a musician. That’s all he is. That’s all he was. Those that look at Michael Jackson in a negative direction, definitely comes from jealousy.

Why don’t you leave Michael Jackson alone and go pick on the UK glam rocker, Gary Glitter? That man is definitely a pedophile and his life is much worse than Jackson’s right now. Gary Glitter lost everything he had, nobody wants to be near him and nobody wants his music anymore. Glitter is definitely a pedophile ’cause he was found guilty of it. Let that man rot in hell.

Michael Jackon was always innocent, I don’t care what anybody says. You can come to this blog and get all pissed off at me if you disagree with me, all you want, I don’t care. I will always be on MJ’s side, every step of the way. I respect MJ the music artist he’s always been. Don’t care about his personal life or what he looks like, it’s about the music.

It’s a shame what happened, I was looking forward to his musical comeback too. They are planning to release his Staples Center, Los Angeles “This is It” rehearsal on DVD/CD in the future, so that’s great news. I saw those rehearsal pictures and MJ surprisingly looked great before his death. His death happened too fast.

Edit to Add: To all the UK’ers that got tickets for his shows at the O2 for his “This is It” tour, what are you thinking trying to get your refund? DON’T GET YOUR REFUND BY RETURNING THE TICKET!!!! Are you fans insane? Don’t get the refund, keep the ticket. Michael Jackson died, keep that ticket in a safe place and it’ll worth a lot in the future. Trust me!

Report: Michael Jackson was NOT a pedophile, his accuser Jordan Chandler admits to lying about abuse by MJ…

Jordan Chandler, who was MJ’s former best friend and the accuser of MJ that sent the pop star to a child molestation trial which he was found NOT guilty of all those charges, admits to lying about getting abused by MJ. Jordan explained he did it to ruin Michael Jackson’s career, fame and to take his money.

Now that Jordan is older, he probably felt bad about MJ’s death and now he is confessing that he tried to make MJ look like a pedophile to the world. Expect this news to hit all over the net very soon.

Lets hope TMZ confirms this news is real so the MJ haters would stop calling him a pedophile. TMZ will try to reach out to Jordan Chandler at some point here.

I always knew MJ was innocent. Maybe MJ’s innocence will finally be proved, that way people will think more positive about MJ.

Kev

Edit to add: BTW, the Jordan Chandler interview was taking from the latest People magazine, so this source must be real.

Report: Janet and the Jackson brothers may do tour in tribute for MJ…

A Jackson 5 reunion may happen after all, but of course without Michael Jackson but the lead singer would be replaced by Janet Jackson. They are planning a U.S. tour to cover MJ’s hits.

Billboard reports:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/janet-brothers-may-do-michael-jackson-tribute-1003988549.story

Hmmmmm…as long as the Jackson brothers keep Janet’s bra on as their dancing around on stage, I’m all for a MJ tribute tour. There’s probably going to be full of lip synching though, just a warning.
