Rasta - Thanks...ummm the button again, I think as a sign of total injustice and horrible treatment of MJ, maybe we should all wear the button.. It seem to have created a life of its own.

Masked Michael’s newest trick: A trip to Nathan Burton’s show
By Robin Leach


Its another rare sighting on the Strip. Pop-royal Michael Jackson created his own illusion this afternoon (Saturday) when he took his children to the Nathan Burton magic show at the Flamingo- but no way he could magically disguise himself from one of our eagle-eyed Luxe Life fans.

Looking like a wizard in his own right Michael showed up in the hooded cloak, baseball cap, facial mask and sunglasses - and six members of a security detail.

Michael pulled his own sleight-of-hand moves by slipping into the main showroom at the Flamingo from the executives parking garage, through a tunnell, and went unrecolgnized as he took his VIP booth seconds after the lights darkened as the curtain went up!

The "prince of prestidigitation" superstar politely turned down offers of soft drinks and candies in place of popcorn he wanted but wasn't avaiilable - and said he couldn't pose for photos with Nathan or his cast because of the disguise.

He went backstage after the show and complimented the conjuror and told him the children- Prince, Paris and Blanket- loved all the tricks and illusions and they'd return to see it again.

Diana Ross son - Evan Ross - working with Michael Jackson & J.D on music career.

He said: " I've learned from listening to Stevie Wonder and my mom and Michael Jackson. It's taking from all those places and adding something new."

One word, rumour
 
Re: August 1-3, 2008 Masked Michael’s newest trick: A trip to Nathan Burton’s show

Just a little snippet of news, it is from Celeb Magazine which is an insert in one of the UK Sunday Tabloids every weekend. Well, there is an interview with Kelly Rowland and I have typed it out:

KELLY ON THE NO 1 MAN IN HER LIFE...

"Michael Jackson is such an inspiration of mine. I really, honestly, can't believe he'll be 50 in August. My favourite album of all time ever is Off the Wall - the sounds, Michael's voice, it's just amazing. I think Michael can definitely make a comeback. It just needs people to be open-minded. Everyone is so intrigued by him and his life. Everyone wants to know what he's doing, his children - people are obsessed. Michael will probably try something new because that's his style."
 
Re: August 1-3, 2008 Masked Michael’s newest trick: A trip to Nathan Burton’s show

Wow that lil quote from Kelly was sweet! Michael's album is going to be massive when it drops. So many people are waiting for it, the fans, celebs, the media and even the haters will secretly buy his album at 1 am in the morning at a 24 hr Walmart hoping no one recognizes them lol.

Goodtimes ahead..:)

Michael Jackson Mentionings for August 3, 2008:

http://sacurrent.com/music/review.asp?rid=12768

digg_skin = 'icon'; digg_window = 'new';
By Gilbert Garcia
Off the Wall, Michael Jackson’s 1979 collaboration with producer Quincy Jones, is usually cited as the self-proclaimed King of Pop’s coming-of-age record. It signaled that little Michael of the “I Want You Back”/“ABC” era had matured into a full-fledged pop genius.
Those paying close attention, however, might have noticed that Michael’s breakthrough actually happened a year earlier with his brothers on their Destiny album. After an awkward stretch which saw them leave Motown, split with brother Jermaine, and languish in bad-song hell, Destiny found them taking over the production reins, writing their own material, and re-establishing themselves as the first family of bubblegum soul.
New, expanded editions of Destiny and its 1980 successor, Triumph, not only provide us with bookends for Off the Wall, they foreshadow Michael’s unprecedented rise and fall. Destiny’s defining track, “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” established a groovalicious template for “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough,” “Burn This Disco Out” and every other dance epic Michael would subsequently grace us with (and no one, excepting James Brown, and possibly Madonna, has obsessed as much about the erotic power of the dance floor).
Triumph, a confident reaction to Off the Wall’s success, opens with the trumpet fanfares of “Can You Feel It,” a hint of the messianic grandiosity that would eventually lead Michael to endless videos with the likes of Macaulay Culkin. On that same album, “Heartbreak Hotel” is the first sign of Michael’s fascination with horror imagery, and it easily outclasses “Thriller” and “Smooth Criminal.”
Both albums amount to a few inspired tracks surrounded by polished filler. Triumph’s disposables tend to be rhythm workouts, which gives that album a slight edge, but there’s little else to separate these two works. As for the bonus tracks, John Luongo’s disco mixes are a waste, especially in the case of “Shake Your Body” (Who needs an extended mix for a song that’s already eight minutes long?).
It’s remarkable to think that between 1978 and 1980 Michael Jackson released three albums of new material (and recorded a live album with his brothers). The crippling, I-must-top-myself self-consciousness that infected him after Thriller was hardly imaginable here. This Michael Jackson was just a guy who loved to sing and did it better than anyone on the planet
Happy Birthday John Landis!

http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_9951586


BIRTHDAY GUY: Director John Landis was born in Chicago on this date in 1950. This birthday guy is known for creating such classics as "Animal House," "An American Werewolf in London" and "Trading Places." He also directed Michael Jackson's groundbreaking "Thriller" music video. Landis has also directed episodes of the popular series "Psych" and the new TV horror series "Fear Itself."


Remember that guy who owns Laugh Factory and he was part of Michael's trail? Well this is what he has been up to.

Funnyman hopes for last laugh in suit





A battle royal has erupted between Los Angeles' king of comedy and New York's prince of porn over a Times Square comedy club - and it's no laughing matter.
Comedy genius Jamie Masada thought he was joining the cleanup of Times Square when he opened a branch of his world-famous Laugh Factory in the same building as the notorious Show World sex emporium at 42nd St. and Eighth Ave.
Instead, he says he found himself "submerged into an atmosphere of intimidation" by his new partner, Show World owner Richard Basciano.
In a blistering suit filed recently in Manhattan Federal Court, Masada paints a tawdry picture that belies Times Square's glitzy new image.
The reign of fear alleged in Masada's suit includes a pulled gun, warnings that "somebody could be hurt or killed" if a certain comedian was booked, and coerced contract signings that siphoned off much of Masada's profit share.
"Never in my life has anything like this happened to me," Masada told the Daily News. "It's scary."
Masada's New York misadventure began in 2003. At the time, Basciano, a former boxer, was arguably the last of the old-style Times Square tough guys. The king of comedy insists he didn't have a clue.
"They sought me because I was in a bunch of newspapers as the No. 1 comedy club," Masada recalled. "They kind of played with my ego."
Masada says he knew little of Basciano's dark side.
In the mid-1980s, Basciano's partners included Gambino crime family associate Robert DiBernardo and Theodore Rothstein, who were caught by the FBI and convictedin 1981 of transporting obscene materials across state lines.
DiBernardo wound up dead, whacked for offending the late mob boss John Gotti.
Basciano's brother Vincent is the Bonanno crime family boss known as "Vinny Gorgeous," law enforcement sources say. In April, he was sentenced to life for a 2001 shotgun murder.
In 1968, Richard Basciano pleaded guilty to mail fraud charges unrelated to pornography in Baltimore. He was fined $750 and placed on three years' probation.
Masada, by contrast, is slight and soft-spoken. An Israeli immigrant who transformed a Hollywood storefront into the Laugh Factory in 1979, he's booked most of America's top comedians, including Richard Pryor, John Belushi, Ellen DeGeneres and Chris Rock.
Masada, 48, has been involved in several charitable causes and started a comedy camp for underprivileged youth. A few years back, Masada fulfilled one of the camp kids' dreams to meet singer Michael Jackson and wound up in the middle of the singer's child molestation trial.

Artist: Lloyd
Album: Lessons In Love (The Inc/Universal Motown)
The languorous yet infectious beat and girl-watching theme of lead single “Girls Around the World’’ (a top 15 R&B hit featuring labelmate Lil Wayne) reflect the direction of “Lessons in Love.’’ This is an unabashed look at love’s various facets by a maturing singer-songwriter who has come a long way since his start in the 2000 preteen group N-Toon. Sporting a smooth tenor reminiscent of a younger Michael Jackson, Lloyd works it to the max on such single-worthy rhythmic tracks and ballads as “Treat U Good,’’ “Lose Your Love’’ and “I’m Wit It.’’ But he momentarily stumbles on the derivative, R. Kelly-esque “Year of the Lover.’’ Such slip-ups aside, Lloyd serves up a satisfying sophomore suite.

But Gregory's battles go beyond race. He has fasted to bring attention to causes local and worldwide — Americans held hostage in Iran and world hunger, among them. He fasted for 40 days in protest of the child molestation charges against his friend, Michael Jackson, who was acquitted in 2005. In all, he's participated in more than 60 fasts, and he says he won't slow down.
