1989 - Michael Jackson's album "Ben" was released.

I never thought about it before, but weird that Ben the Single was released in 1972 but the album called Ben was released no less than 17 years later, that seems odd, doesn't it ??
 
Re: 11th July, 08

I just cheked it and it's a mistake!!

Ben WAS indeed released in 1972 - also the album!

And according to wikipedia (I know it's not always true but anyway) the album was released on the 4th of August 1972.

That's probably because Motown was scurrying in their vaults to find songs Michael recorded as a kid to cash in on his astronomical fame. They released a nimber of songs during MJ's thriller era, so that desn't surprise me.,

Christian Audigier: The Nightclub at Treasure Island in Vegas



[COLOR=#999999! important]By -- Steve Friess
July 10, 2008 [/COLOR]
DESIGNER Christian Audigier was a few hours from opening his first nightclub last week, a swanky spread that looks out at the Las Vegas Strip from Treasure Island, but he was already moving past all that. He's got loftier plans.

Much loftier. An airline, in fact.

"It's going to be nice, comfortable, with nice waitresses and nice food, a cool drink and a nice movie," Audigier says, igniting one of three cigarettes laid out neatly for him by an assistant along with a yellow lighter. "I'm talking to different people. I'm not ready yet, but I'm going to do that."

Uh, OK. It's hard to comprehend how a fashion impresario -- even one responsible for the stunningly successful Von Dutch and Ed Hardy lines -- could pull off such an endeavor. Then again, as he explained this, he was sitting on the terrace of his eponymous nightclub. He also has a development deal to build a 36-story hotel with his name on it in Dubai.

So, really, who's to doubt the man at the center of one of the most meteoric rises in fashion history, a designer unknown to Americans a decade ago but who in May was regaled at his 50th birthday by the likes of clients Snoop Dogg, Fergie and Macy Gray? Michael Jackson showed up unexpectedly, declared Audigier the new King of Fashion and is now in talks for a Jackson-branded Audigier line.

"It's gonna be the new look of Michael, of course," Audigier says. "He's preparing a new album and a new tour, and I'm working on a collection to celebrate all the icons of rock, pop and funk. This is what I want to do in my collection for him."

After that, he says, clothing lines involving Madonna and Britney Spears may follow. In fact, the marriage between his clothes -- T-shirts emblazoned with elaborate and often Goth-inspired designs, going for more than $250 -- and the rock 'n' roll culture fits neatly into Audigier's earliest ambitions. He says as a teen he wanted to be Mick Jagger, and now, "Mick Jagger is wearing my clothes."

The nightclub makes Audigier the first designer to delve into the Vegas night life scene as an entrepreneur. He's partnered with Pure Management Group for a berth with an outdoor terrace facing Treasure Island's lagoon, where a pirate show takes place every 90 minutes. Inside, the space is tricked out with rhinestone-encrusted skulls and two 1,000-gallon tanks of 30 jellyfish each. The aim, he says, is "to instill a fashionable night life."

"When you're going into a club, you want to see sparkling and glitter and rhinestones," he says. "This nightclub opening is a big achievement for me, because having a nightclub in Vegas is not something I was dreaming in my life."

As Audigier moved about the place, two cameramen and a photographer tracked his every move, as they have for six years for a planned documentary he hopes to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

"This is really a success story, an American dream," says Audigier, who arrived unemployed in the U.S. in 2001. This year, his company is expected to gross $200 million in sales, and he owns homes in L.A., Miami, Paris and Brazil.

"I came to Los Angeles, and it was a struggle in the beginning. To put your mark on a line was very difficult, so I needed to do my own. Now look at where I am. It is amazing."

Hey guys, I got some news. I just finished watching Access Hollywood minutes ago and they talked about the pics of Mike being in a wheelchair, the mask, and the doorag. According to a source close to Mike, it was all a disguise. That MJ is fine, health wise, he is completely fine and that MJ likes to put on a surgical mask. So, all is GOOD! AH was the ONLY SHOW that talked about the rebuttal. Inside Edition and ET, of course, never mentioned what the source close to MJ stated. That says a lot.

Thanls very much Bee. Have you seen the video I posted where MJ talked about wearing disguise? he said he does it because that is the only way he gets to be among the people and experience what is really going on. That is how he goes to the theatre and other places without anyone knowing he is there.:D

I'm surprised that they even pay attention to the "wheelchair" thing anymore. I mean, it's not like he hasn't done that before and to top it off, the next time you see him he will be WALKING around that same Barnes & Noble.

The story should be about Michael's obsession with Barnes & Noble. I mean, I don't know anybody who spends that much time in a bookstore. LOL!

Uhm......I do. :D :lol: "Guilty!" *raises her own hand* :lmao: I'm a bit of a "bookworm" too. :lol: Except that nowdays I pretty much spent hours browsing Amazon.com and buy pretty much all of my books from there. I almost order every month. :lol: Have ordered five books so far this month. :D :lol: And when ever I travel I buy tons of books. When I went to Canada, I already had bought a book before I was even THERE! :lmao: I bought one from the airport and then I think I bought like 7-10 books while I was there...and then had to pay extra on my way back home because my suitcase was too heavy...because of all the books in it! :lol: Actual "old-fashioned" bookstores are better than online stores though because you can look at the book, read parts and see if you like it or not or if it's worth the money, etc. But I can totally understand MJ's love for bookstores. You should have seen my EYES when I saw a place called "The World's Biggest Bookstore" in Canada! :lmao: I was like "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping: :lmao: Even though I prefer Indigo Books. The one in Eaton Center...that's mah #1 place in Canada! :yes: :kickass:


Thanks for posting all teh news bits! :)

Found the article from access hollywood that bee was speaking about here is the article:
Is He Sick? The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Earlier this week, photos emerged of Michael Jackson being pushed around in a wheelchair. While headlines around the world touted the demise of the King of Pop and suggested that the Gloved One was “retiring” and “sick,” Access has the real details.
Though he was caught wearing a surgical mask, pajamas and a marine hat, according to a source close to Jackson, the star just likes dressing up in disguises.
There is, in fact, nothing wrong with him. Access’ source also says Jackson sometimes chooses to disguise himself as a burn victim.
This isn’t the first time Jackson has dressed up.
He has previously been spotted wearing a surgical mask and enjoys elaborate costumes – from top hats and tails, to military coats, when performing or making an appearance at a public event.
In 2007, reports surfaced that while in Bahrain, the star was spotted dressed up as a woman.

Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

Nice little story about Michael from a man named Thomas Dolby:


http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5iw5kA56wQ3k3FGNNLHjhqo3XCXIA


25 years after blinding us with science, Thomas Dolby is back

7 hours ago
TORONTO — Most people probably don't realize just how much they listened to Thomas Dolby's music during the 1980s.
Yes, they likely remember the British synth-guru's 1983 hit single "She Blinded Me With Science" and its spoof-on-a-silent-movie video that played endlessly on MTV.
But do they realize he helped create the distinct sound of the Foreigner smash "Waiting for a Girl Like You"? Or that he can be heard on tracks by the Thompson Twins?
Even Dolby's 12-year-old son - who has developed a penchant for stripping off his shirt and pounding away on the drums - was surprised to learn recently that his father played keyboards on Def Leppard's seminal album "Pyromania."
"The other day I popped my head around the corner and I said: 'Isn't that Def Leppard?"' Dolby, 49, recalled in a recent interview.
"And he goes: 'How d'you know that? I thought you didn't like this stuff?' And I said, 'Well I played on that."'
Dolby says his son was shocked, insisting that Booker T. Boffin performed keyboards on the album.
Recalls Dolby: "I said: 'And who do you think Booker T. Boffin is?"'
Now, after 15 years spent largely away from the music scene, Dolby - whose stage name evolved from his childhood fascination with his cassette player (he was born Thomas Robertson) - is stepping back into the spotlight.
He's working on a new album, and recently returned to live performance with the "Sole Inhabitant" tour, which saw him take to the stage outfitted with a camera mounted on his head, much like a miner's lantern.
An accompanying screen allowed the audience to view the show from the artist's perspective. Dolby stopped in Toronto recently to promote a CD-DVD of the concerts that has recently been released in Canada.
The techno touring stunt was classic Dolby, who was ahead of the musical curve in the '80s and is still cited today for his innovative brand of synthesizer-driven "steampunk," borne of a love of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. He's proud that his admirers have remained loyal.
"I think that I've still got stuff to say, musically. I feel that the stuff I did always sort of went against the grain and was somewhat timeless," he says.
"There's actually a hardcore fanbase who've never stopped listening to my music because of the Internet. They're in there analyzing chord sequences and discussing lyrical interpretations and they have been even when I was silent for all those years."
Dolby's last studio album was 1992's "Astronauts and Heretics." The next year, he started a computer software company called Headspace, to which he was devoted for much of the 1990s.
Music, though, has proven to have a considerable pull. Dolby is curious to see if he can capture a younger generation of listeners.
The musician - who with his bald pate is virtually unrecognizable from his '80s days - sees an "appetite for authenticity" in music these days. Fans who like the bands that he influenced may want to look back at where the music originated, he surmises.
"When people hear a style of music these days they're kind of curious about the heritage of it."
Still, even as he produces new material, Dolby will no doubt be remembered for his musical run during the '80s.
Asked about his memories of being at the top of the charts along with glam-bands like Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran, Dolby relates a bizarre encounter with Michael Jackson, whom he'd met in a studio near the pinnacle of Jackson's eccentric '80s success.
He went to the King of Pop's mansion and they had a "very nice conversation," as Jackson sat on a medieval throne, surrounded by an eclectic collection of treasures, including gold clocks and ivory chess sets.
"I thought we were alone in the house, and then halfway through the conversation I just noticed these little faces up 'round the balcony," remembers Dolby.
"They'd disappear. And then my song came blasting from upstairs. ... And suddenly about 12 little neighbour kids came downstairs in their pyjamas. It was like the Munchkins. They all had Tonka toys and stuff and he let them play with their Tonka toys on the floor around us while he and I were talking.
"And while we were talking about production he kept going: 'Jimmy, don't do that. Billy, bring that over here, no give that back to Bobby' ... He was like king of the castle in this thing. It was very surreal, but kind of charming, actually."
 
Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

How stupid they are. Every day they say they have new stuff about him and they don't even know the basis of who they talk about. Everybody knows that one of MJ's favorite hobbies is to disguise and play with the media. It's amazing...

Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

See, just Michael being Michael. It's just something he likes to do and people should leave him be. I don't know why everyone trips out so much.

That's a cute story from the Dolby guy too. Thanks for sharing.
 
Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

Aint nothing wrong with Michael. He is just being Michael. He is just having fun the best way he knows how. Leave him alone.
 
Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

Well.. now, those pics are settled. :lol: :)
 
Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

I do think that michael believes that these are good disguises.
Poor thing didn't get the memo though:mello:. cuz ppl can spot him a mile a way with that mask on:rofl:. But I guess if he didn't wear it then you would see his face so he has very little choices here.:mello: I would go with the burn victim disguise too.:yes:

In the end it was just a disguise. You can't blame the man for trying. And i think it worked for awhile but eventually someone caught on.

Michael need to let me do his disguises for real. I would have michael looking right and on point without drawing attention to him.

Hire me mike, shoot I'll do it for free :D

Oh and guys, don't start up again.
 
Re: 11th July, 08:The Truth Behind The Latest Photos Of Michael Jackson

It wasnt really a disguise as a disguise is supposed to hide the identity of the individual however we all know it was MJ!

EDIT: What happened to my post that I did 2 mins ago? I didnt say anything against MJ or anyone.
