Ok, looks like on a couple of mentionings are all we have so far...

Springsteen set for Super Bowl

...Michael Jackson performed in 1993, five years after Chubby Checker, who became the first musician to provide entertainment traditionally supplied by local marching bands and drill teams.

Robin Thicke coming to Madison Square Garden

...I wanted to do something like when I'm up in the club and I hear these Curtis Mayfield records still today, or Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder, and they're still the hottest records that you can play at midnight in the hottest club in the hottest city. They're timeless. There's something to the feeling that the music gives you - the rose and the concrete or the struggle and the hope - something that the music of the '60s and the '70s has...

Gators shocked in loss to Rebels


By BRIAN STEELE , Alligator Staff Writer

There were 41 seconds left, and Jeremy Foley didn't want to watch anymore.

That’s when UF’s athletics director turned away from a team that couldn’t advance the football three feet. A team that was less than one minute from witnessing giddy Mississippi players flocking to photographers and doing dances that would make Michael Jackson blush. A team whose hopes for an unblemished season vanished like the orange-and-blue-clad fans did from The Swamp. A team that now has a serious identity crisis...

My Mentor: Reggie Yates on Lenny Henry

[/i]
'Lenny told me to enjoy work and have as much fun as possible. That has become my mantra'
Interview by Sophie Morris

My mother considered some of the jokes a bit too rude for me, but I would put them on as soon as everyone went out. I'll never forget the version of Michael Jackson's Bad video he did, where he was bodypopping in the subway station.
I was about eight at the time and had just got involved with a drama club. They sent me for an audition for Desmond's, which I got. I couldn't believe I was being paid to go in and play make-believe for a day. When I was 12 I got a part in a film for Lenny Henry's production company. I remember seeing him on set and thinking, "It's the man from the video!"
Lenny told me the most important thing was just to enjoy the work and have as much fun as possible. I have never forgotten that little piece of advice. It has become my mantra, and I have only ever accepted work that I know I'm going to love...

Errrrr, I like what he said about Mike, but doing a song with him, 3 Six Mafia and Prince - no. Mike and Prince - hell yes. With Three 6 Mafia or whatever - no.

Norman and Zoe want baby No 2

Revellers at the event, sponsored by Brothers Cider, were treated to a typically eclectic mix by the superstar DJ, with samples from acts such as Dans Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Michael Jackson and The Whip - who had opened the event.

Marlon Jackson stunned about Nigeria’s potentials, says Tee Mac
MARLON Jackson, one of the members of the American musical family- The Jackson 5 was stunned about the potentials of Nigeria and the richness of her arts and culture when he recently visited Nigeria, according to Mr. Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, Nigeria’s renowned flutist and president of Performing Musicians Employer’s Association of Nigeria. Tee Mac made the revelation at the Cinema Hall, National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos last week when he was speaking at the ceremony to unveil the logo of Songs of Nigeria Festival, (SONIFEST) billed to take off in Abuja later this year.

The Nigerian musician and flutist who was one of the dignitaries at the Sonifest event in Lagos called on Nigerians and the government to promote the arts; culture and potentials of the country so as to draw the attention of blacks in Diaspora and the international Community towards investing in Nigeria.

According to Tee Mac, Africans in Diaspora are largely unaware of the richness and potentials available to be tapped in Nigeria. He said that for example, it was not until Marlon Jackson, elder brother of Michael Jackson came to Nigeria that he discovered the rich potentials in Nigeria contrary to the negative reports they read in newspapers or view on the television about Nigeria abroad.


Tee Mac hinted that Marlon Jackson said he was going back to the United States to encourage other Africans to invest in Nigeria because of the rich potentials he saw in the country during his visit.

The musician regretted that pirates have killed the music industry in Nigeria because of the way they copied other people’s works and sold at rock bottom prices.
Professor Dora Akunyili, Director-General of National Agency for Food Administration, Drugs and Central, (NAFADAC) who was represented by Dr. Matty O.N. Udoye, chief regulatory Officer of NAFDAC called on Nigerians to promote African arts and culture. Professor Akunyili called on every Nigeria to support the fight against piracy which has been killing the music industry. She also prayed for the success of SONIFEST as well as the advancement of Nigeria artistes in all their endeavors.

Ambassador Segun Olusola, president of SONIFEST called on Nigerians to be committed to the promotion of the culture of her people and encourage creativity amongst the people.

He said that SONIFEST was meant to bring out the best in Nigeria music, arts and culture.

Mr. Chuks Akamadu the executive director of SONIFEST hinted that the organization had worked on modalities of promoting the best in Nigerian music and as such the group was working on the construction of “Rex Lawson Page” which will contain a conference center and collection of Nigerian songs which will also be sold.

He said SONIFEST is a forum for the lovers of Arts, culture and music to come together and maximize their potentials.

Chief Mrs Christy Essien Igbokwe, Nigeria’s Lady of Songs and Vice-President of SONIFEST said that all hands must be on deck to make the dreams of the organisers of the initiative a reality.

The logo was later unveiled by Dr. Udoye, the representative of Professor. Dora Akunyili on her behalf.





'X Factor culture' fills moral vacuum in children left by the church, says senior headmaster

Reverend Tim Hastie-Smith condemned the shallow values of television shows such as The X Factor and the 'absurd spectacle' of Michael Jackson escaping to his child-like Neverland ranch.
Michael Jackson was also mentioned as a negative influence to children


Duran Duran's Rio Tops Best Video Poll

A-Ha's Take On Me came third, Michael Jackson's ground-breaking Thriller was fourth, and Svefn-g-Englar by Icelandic rockers Sigur Ros came fifth.

Michael Jackson Has High Hopes For Comeback Album


Could [COLOR=#cc0033! important][COLOR=#cc0033! important]Michael [COLOR=#cc0033! important]Jackson[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] be making some kind of crazy comeback? The onetime King of Pop appears to be under a wild delusion that his new album could actually manage to outsell "[COLOR=#cc0033! important][COLOR=#cc0033! important]Thriller[/COLOR][/COLOR]," according to Female First.

"Michael, 50, is so desperate to ensure his comeback is a success, he has reportedly told songwriters he won't release the LP unless it is up to the same standard as his 1982 smash-hit album."

If that's the case, we'll be waiting a very long time for this one.


Coldplay deny O2 residency rumours

Other acts rumoured to be playing a series of gigs at the O2 include Michael Jackson and U2.

Renovate your kitchen on the cheap

Improvements can add value to your home

First, let me explain what I was up against. The white-covered particleboard cabinets were ugly, at least 20 years old, and barely better than a cardboard box. They weren't that good when Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was flying off the shelves, and they most certainly weren't any good in 2008.

That's some mentionings.
 
A few other things I found.....

Thicke bares his soul on new album

Robin Thicke made a very good living out of songwriting - penning songs for Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson and Usher, among others, in the early 2000s.

Ocho Cinco Wrestles With Teammate Over Jackson-McCartney Duet
Cincinnati Enquirer - Chad Ocho Cinco played "The Girl Is Mine" on the locker room sound system Thursday afternoon. The Michael Jackson-Paul McCartney duet wasn't well received with rookie defensive tackle Jason Shirley.

Shirley walked by the stereo and turned it off. Ocho Cinco playfully came after him moments later.

The two wrestled for a few minutes, with Ocho Cinco mostly laughing and clinging to Shirley's leg. [READ]


At home with Hefner
Reading Jackie O
The obsession with all things Jackie O continues. Believe it or not, William Kuhn is writing about the books the former first lady acquired and edited as an editor at Doubleday. Here's the pitch: "[Onassis] told her own story - her journey as a wife, a mother, aesthete, armchair intellectual, and unwilling celebrity - through the medium of other people's books." Sounds good, but is it true? One of the writers Onassis worked with was Michael Jackson, whose 1988 autobiography, "Moonwalk," she edited. Suffice to say, it was not a pleasant experience. We're told ***** ***** threatened to shelve the book unless Jackie wrote the forward. Miffed, Onassis complied.

Today's Michael's Name Day. I bet Michael himself doesn't realize that, but I thought I'd share.
In my family it was always as important as one's birthday.
 
The article that I have in question is the one that is from norm is a bit old and can be discussed in the tabloid trash forum. I am deleting that article. Thank you and carry on.
 
i tell you, every time i'm reminded of all this, it makes my blood boil, when i think of whoever started this vile attempt against Michael. this is the worst crime in history that can be leveled against someone. it was an unbridled attempt to utterly destroy Michael. and the fact that he is still here, can make it so easy for people to diminish what he was put through. and i wouldn't care less if people thought less of me, for wishing what i wish upon the person or people who perpetrated this ugly nightmare against MJ. but i won't go into what i wish. but i think it..and that's just the way it is.

LOL. That is funny. Still do not understand why the football player's name is Ocho Cinco or whatever.

I really hope that people would not post any news coming from that fool Norm on the great news threads. His articles are trash.
