Beckhams' trip to Neverland
Victoria Beckham has revealed she has taken her sons to Michael Jackson's home Neverland.
The Spice Girl, who has three sons with husband David Beckham - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, five, and three-year-old Cruz - defended the outlandish pop star, saying what a nice place for families it is.
Victoria told London's Heart radio: "I've been to Neverland with the kids. I'm not going to say if Michael Jackson was there. It was amazing and I have met Michael Jackson and he's a very nice man. What I thought was really nice is there's pictures of family everywhere and that's what I mean about a lot of these people are actually really nice and just the same as everybody else. They've got pictures of kids up everywhere, which I think is really cool. Pictures of his kids!
"You wouldn't imagine that because we do read such bizarre things about everybody."
The 34-year-old also revealed living in Los Angeles has changed her kids.
She said: "They've gone very LA, the kids. They're getting little American accents and they wear their hats sideways.
"They're quite hip hop."

R. Kelly Court Docs Closed To The Public, Says Judge
written by Brandi Hopper
In the interest of insuring a fair trial for R&B superstar R. Kelly, the judge in the singer's case has denied a media request for access to sealed documents.
"Of paramount concern is that the defendant gets a fair trial," Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan wrote, as reported by The Chicago Sun-Times. "The torrent of media interest in this case has prompted entry of the order which prevents the serious and imminent threat that this case would be tried in the media."
[...]
Gaughan cited the 2004 ruling in the Michael Jackson criminal case to back up his ruling.
"If it wasn't for the press, we wouldn't have the type of justice we have today," Gaughan said in court. "Nobody wants to inhibit the press."

Usher Sponsors Contest + What to Expect from Here I Stand: Soul Rebel's Album Review
3. "This Ain't Sex" ( prod.by Tricky & Jazzy Pha) - Despite the title, this upbeat track actually isn't all that sexual. The concept of the song is about getting deeper than lust. There were a few tracks on this album where Usher's voice in places reminded me of Michael Jackson in his heyday, and this was one of them. The song itself put me in mind of old school joints from Guy and Morris Day and The Time. It's got a catchy "this is love, this is real, this is how you make me feel," refrain that I couldn't help repeating.
