The auction is still the main topic. I've read that many of you have been there or are planning to go. Did you get the chance to bring a special Michael Jackson item with you home? I personally would love to have the Michael Jackson robot! Imagine that would totally look fly in my livingroom...somewhere. If only I were rich, I'll prolly bought the gates!!
Check out the small article about record sales. It's a known fact that artists can't sell as many albums as they did in the past. Just look at the numbers for last years best selling records. Do you have any thoughts on what Michael Jackson's new album sales will be? How well did Invincible? Anyone knows the numbers?
Have a great weekend everyone.
I Don’t Think We Are Stars - Majid
DYNAMIC AND outstanding actor, Majid Michael might be seen as a star in Ghana’s rising movie industry and Nigeria’s Nollywood by a number of movie enthusiasts but the versatile actor thinks otherwise.
“There is nothing like a celebrity life in Ghana and even in Africa. We hardly call ourselves stars. A star as the name implies is someone who can be seen from far away but cannot be touched.
I don’t think we are stars here. We are just famous people. We are known people because we are on TV but the star life does not reflect on us, he said in an exclusive interview with BEATWAVES on Wednesday, in the company of his manager, Andrew Kwesi Addae.

“I want to be in a movie with Leonardo De Carprio,” he stated. He loves listening to Michael Jackson.

Historic Hindu prayer opened Indiana Senate today in USA
Groundbreaking Sanskrit mantras from ancient Hindu scriptures reverberated in Indiana House of Representatives in Indianapolis today, reportedly for the first time since its formation in 1816.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed read this prayer. Senators and others stood quietly in prayer mode with heads bowed down, when Zed recited from ancient Sanskrit scriptures after sprinkling gangajal (holy water from river Ganga in India) around the podium
Indiana State Senate is composed of 50 members. Farm-filled state Indiana , known for its sports teams and athletic events, hosts Indianapolis 500 motorsports race, the largest single-day sporting event in the world. King of Pop Michael Jackson and talk-show host David Letterman are born here.

Will U2 be the saviours of the music industry?
[/i]
Five years on from their last record, U2 have hauled Bono away from his saving-the-world duties long enough to finish their twelth studio album. But will it win them any new fans – and can their return bail out a bealeagured industry?

Still, we should be thankful that the band have at least made a determined effort to return to sonic exploration, albeit with mixed results. It should certainly outsell its predecessor, which will come as welcome news to an industry fondly pining for the days when Def Leppard and Michael Jackson – and even Alanis Morissette, for heaven's sake! – shifted albums in sales of 20 and 30 million apiece. Last year's biggest global seller, predictably, was Coldplay's Viva La Vida, at round about six or seven million, with Duffy a million or two behind: fantastic for her, but only so-so for them, and extremely worrying, if we're honest, for an industry that, like the movie business with which it is strongly allied, has become too reliant on the notion of one or two blockbuster engines pulling along a train of less populist, more marginal products.
A healthy seller – somewhere in the double-figure millions, perhaps – would be a welcome fillip for a faltering business. But saving the music industry? I doubt it. The industry's problems are so far-ranging, and so deeply embedded in its archaic practices, that it needs much more than an occasional injection of superstar success to salvage its position. Don't get me started...
