Michael Jackson announces his
CAPTION

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced the January 26 release of Michael Jackson's
This Is It on Blu-ray with the kind of flourish you'd expect from associates of the King of Pop. Jackson choreographer Travis Payne performed live at the Sony booth at CES with two of the dancers who were set to tour with the late singer. Sony also ran a "Smooth Criminal" vignette from the disc showing Jackson "interact" with Rita Hayworth, Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart in classic black and white footage from Gilda and other old-time movies.
This Is It is also the first Sony disc to show off a portable "BD-Live" feature called movieIQ Sync. If you have a Blu-ray player that connects to cyberspace, you can use the feature to find updated filmographies and trivia that's tied to scenes in the movie. You can also display the information on a PC or iPhone (thus freeing up the TV screen, Sony Pictures says), and bookmark songs you hear in the film to create interactive playlists you can post to Facebook or email to friends on via BD-Live.
Sony Pictures says the Blu-ray features 90 minutes of new and never seen before footage. It carries an MSRP of $39.95. A DVD of the movie costs $28.96, and a PlayStation portable version is $24.94.

Michael Jackson to be honoured with theme park ranch
By Sophie Eager Jan 11, 2010, 12:40 GMT
Michael Jackson's memory will live on in a theme park ranch in his hometown of Gary, Indiana.
The attraction will reportedly include a replica of Jackson's famous Neverland Ranch.
Developers are allegedly planning to include a golf course, museum, 300-room hotel and a performing arts centre in the new ranch, and a Thriller rollercoaster has also been in discussions.
Odie Anderson, an agent in the theme park's operations, said: 'We will begin construction of the facilities this year.
'We have set aside a specific date, tied to a special Jackson event, for the ground-breaking.'
Jackson, who died aged 50 in June last year, always dreamed of having a Disney World-style park.

Jackson tribute
Monday, 11 January 2010
As the first new year without the King of Pop begins, “***** – A Tribute To Michael Jackson” moonwalks into the SYMA Centre on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January.
The tour features an American cast led by Jackson’s own former choreographer Mic Thompson, who oversees the dance routines that were always as much a part of the megastar’s legend as the songs, and ***** impersonator Tej’ai Sullivan, who has been in this game for two decades.
The one and a half hour show touches on every era of Jackson’s career, from his days as a child star with the Jackson 5, through the artistic and commercial peaks of Off The Wall and Thriller, to later tracks from Bad and Invincible. Songs-wise fans can expect to hear “ABC”, “Beat It” “Billie Jean”, “Man In The Mirror”, “Bad”, “Black Or White” as well as other singles and selected album tracks. The organisers promise a multi-media experience with powerful lighting, great costumes and first class musicianship worthy of one of the great performers of our time, who it seems is not going to be forgotten in a hurry.
The ticket
“***** – A Tribute To Michael Jackson” takes place from 8 pm on Saturday 16 January and Sunday 17 January at the SYMA Centre, 1 Dózsa György út, District XIV. Tel: (06-1) 460-1100. Tickets are HUF 3,600-19,900 and available from
