Here are the news cliplets for the day:

Jackson Brothers Reality Series A Go At A&E

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Before Michael Jackson died, his brothers filmed a one-hour pilot for A&E that was supposed to include a reunion performance with Michael. But he never agreed to it, didn't do it, and died before it could be discussed again.

But sources say that A&E will go forward with a series of further episodes that will chronicle the Jackson brothers' lives and show them grappling with Michael's death.

An A&E spokesman declined comment; sources close to the network said the deal for a series isn't done yet. The original A&E deal was for a pilot with provisions for a series.

It hasn't been decided whether the footage that exists will be shaped into half-hour or hour-long sessions.

Meanwhile, the pilot -- which might include at least a reference at its end that Michael has died -- will air on A&E within the month, sources say.
The deal was put together by Danny O'Donovan, who has managed the group since they left Motown in the late 1970s.

Tito Jackson To Pay Tribute To MJ In UK Tour

Michael Jackson fans will get the chance to see a UK tribute concert to the King of Pop when his brother Tito performs a series of dates this autumn.

Jackson family members have confirmed they will be there to support him on his first ever solo UK tour in October.

The King of Pop's older brother will play hit songs penned by both Michael and The Jackson 5 with his 14-piece band, The Funk Brothers.

He will play eight dates which kick off on October 6 in Manchester. The tour will take him to London's wembley stadium, Nottingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Cardiff and Aberdeen.

Tito will also perform brand new tracks from his forthcoming album, set for global release this year.

Michael Jackson's fans in the UK are sure to welcome the news after plans to host a concert tribute to the star at the O2 arena this month were shelved.

Concert organiser AEG Live is negotiating a deal with Sony to release a film of the late singer's final rehearsals.

"The UK was a very special place to my brother Michael and I'm so excited to be able to pay my respect to his fans there," Tito said.

He will join Gladys Knight on her Midnight Train To Love - Farewell Tour.
The soul legend's final UK tour will see her perform her Las Vegas show complete with a 19-piece band.

"To be able to do this whilst supporting our dear friend Gladys is a complete blessing," said Tito

"Not many people know this, but it was actually Gladys who introduced my brothers and I to Berry Gordy which led to our signing to Motown Records and the rest, as they say, is history."

Tickets for the tour are on sale now priced at £40 and £50.
Prior to Tito's tour, Jermaine Jackson is putting together a star-studded tribute concert to celebrate the King of Pop's life at the Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna on September 26.

Michael Jackson died on June 25 of a cardiac arrest.
This week it was confirmed the late singer's body will be laid to rest on what would have been his 51st birthday.


Tickets on sale now. He is supporting Gladys Knight's tour.

Bollywood to pay Video Tribute to Michael Jackson

Bollywood to pay Video Tribute to Michael Jackson

Thu Aug 20, 2:20 am ET

MUMBAI (AFP) – Top Bollywood stars are to pay tribute to the late US singer Michael Jackson with a music video to be aired on what would have been his 51st birthday, a report said on Thursday.

Leading film composer Vishal Dadlani was quoted by the Mumbai Mirror newspaper as saying that the video was called "We Lived In His World".:) It would be aired on television on August 29, the daily tabloid added. Jackson, whose sudden death in June shocked his millions of fans around the world, was due to be buried on the same day, his family said this week.

"The King of Pop" played a sell-out gig in India's entertainment capital Mumbai in 1996. Bollywood stars, film directors, choreographers and musicians have cited him as a major influence on their work.
Quoting an unnamed source, the Mumbai Mirror said the "We Lived In His World" video had been spearheaded by actor Shahrukh Khan and his production company Red Chillies.

Dadlani is one half of the music directing duo Vishal-Shekhar responsible for the film scores on some of Bollywood's biggest films, including "Om Shanti Om" and "Salaam Namaste".
The Jackson tribute would reportedly include messages from Khan and fellow actors Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra among others. No one had asked for payment for the tribute, the newspaper said.

The Mumbai Mirror said this week that A.R. Rahman, who won two Oscars this year for his music on the hit film "Slumdog Millionaire" was making a tribute album to Jackson.

Rahman has previously described the singer as an inspiration.

Huh?
the report starts off saying he will be doing a UK solo tour and then says he's going to be support act for Gladys.
Which is it? I'll pay to see a Tito gig, but I'm not sure I want to see him as a support for Gladys.
 
Re: Bollywood to pay Video Tribute to Michael Jackson

Oh no. Remember Bollywood Thriller? :D
 
Re: Tito Jackson To Pay Tribute To MJ In UK Tour

There is no claarification on a solo tour or supporting act to Gladys Knight. I've brought my tickets anyway for the Cardiff show. Report says he will perform 8 dates in the UK.
 
Re: Tito Jackson To Pay Tribute To MJ In UK Tour

Wasnt Tito going to do a show in Devon last year?

But didnt he burn the venue down or something because no1 bought tickets
 
Re: Daily News - Thursday - Aug 20, 2009

Right Round, Baby

Michael Jackson, Ms. Shields’s onetime soul mate, was doubtless the most irresistible pop-cultural phenomenon to emerge from the ’80s, and so it is logical that the singer’s “Thriller” wardrobe would be sampled by fashion’s early adopters even before his death in June.
“Everyone’s been feeling ‘Thriller’ for a while now,” Ms. Wills said of Screaming Mimi’s. “We’ve already seen the studded leather jacket in fashion.” And come fall, she added, “that’s all anybody’s going to be looking for.”

That's not fair. Tito was already planning to release a CD and tour before MJ died. He even was on tv in Britain promoting it in January of this year.

Couldn't say better! Why they didn't performed when Mike was alive? :huh: oh sorry,NOW they pay tribute to MJ ...But they could show they respect to him as a musician and brother then when MJ was alive. Although that's just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong...

Wembley stadium? In October? Will be cold.

Do some of you honestly expect the family to do nothing for the rest of their lives because of Michael.

Get over it, they each have lives to live and being a musical family they are entitled to pursue that.

I agree, but think it's the timing that people have trouble with and since MJ has died Jermaine, Joe and La Toya seem to be doing alot of media, which I'm sure they must be getting paid for.

*sigh* guess I'll keep my trap shut on this one.

Lmao what? It wasnt on The Sun?

It was when they did that Jackson party in Devon, and he had to cancel his show because of a fire, or the fact he was charging something like £50 for tickets

So the family keep their mouths shut, say absolutely nothing and still they'd be criticised for seemingly doing nothing. They can never win really.
