KENNY ORTEGA SAYS MICHAEL IS HIS ‘ANGEL’
14th December 2009
Kenny Ortega, director of Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ recently signed on for his next feature film project, In the Heights, the big screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical.
Although Ortega directed the “High School Musical” films and choreographed “Dirty Dancing,” he knew his shot came from the success of the Jackson film. The strong reviews, the box office and now this has left him conflicted, Ortega told Variety magazine in a recent interview.
“I’d trade it all in a second to have Michael back with us, but I owe a debt of thanks to him,” Ortega said. “He’s my angel. Whenever I said yes to him, I came out on the other end benefitting greatly.”

LA COUNCIL URGES END TO MJ MEMORIAL PROBE
11th December 2009
The Los Angeles City Council is urging the city attorney's office to quickly conclude its investigation into the $3.2 million in costs incurred by the city for the Michael Jackson memorial service.
Councilwoman Jan Perry said during Friday's council meeting that once the city attorney completes the inquiry of AEG, which owns the Staples Center arena where the event was held, she and the mayor's office will resume discussions about the entertainment company offering a donation to help cover the expense.
The city spent about $2 million on police overtime and the rest on other related expenses for the event.
AEG gave the city $900,000 to pay for costs related to the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA championship parade earlier in the year

MJ LEADS TOP 10 ONLINE SEARCHES OF 2009
2nd December 2009
What would have been the most anticipated comeback on stage in history ended sadly in June.
The sudden death of Michael Jackson made him to the top searches in 2009, knocking Britney Spears from the number one spot for the first time in four years. Jackson died June 25.
"Michael Jackson's death broke many records on Yahoo. His memorial was the single most streamed event in Yahoo's history, with five million total streams," the company said in a statement.
"When the news of Michael Jackson's death came out the traffic was overwhelming, and surpassed that. And then his case was ruled a homicide so it's an ongoing crime investigation. His death is unresolved," said Vera Chan, web trend analyst at Yahoo Inc.
At the hour of Michael Jackson death, the world wide web almost came to an halt. On June 26 CNN started an article by asking: "How many people does it take to break the Internet? On June 25, we found out it's just one -- if that one is Michael Jackson."
"Between approximately 2:40 p.m. PDT and 3:15 p.m. PDT on June 25, some Google News users experienced difficulty accessing search results for queries related to Michael Jackson," a Google spokesman told CNET, which also reported that Google News users complained that the service was inaccessible for a time.
At its peak, Google Trends rated the Jackson story as "volcanic."

I don't think Polish singers will sing Michael's songs, some guy called Earnest Valentino will perform as Michael. I have no idea who he is.
