Michael Jackson's chicken confusion
Wednesday, 17 September 2008
Michael Jackson thinks peeling the skin off a chicken makes it organic.
The eccentric pop star, who is a huge fan of fast food eatery KFC, believes removing the outer layer from fried chicken renders it free from unnatural substances.
Michael's close pal David Gest revealed: "I've been best friends with Michael for 40 years and I will defend his reputation until the day I die.
"When we hang out we visit antique stores, play Frisbee and go to KFC - he thinks if you peel the skin off the chicken, it makes it organic. He cracks me up."
David also spoke about how former Busted star Matt Willis has changed his life since they met on British reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!'.
He added to Britain's Closer magazine: "We're like brothers. We hang out together every weekend in Camden. I used to enjoy fancy Hollywood restaurants, but I'm so over that now. I'm having the best time of my life."

Apple's iTunes store faces biggest challenge yet with flexible download service

Music giant Apple and its iTunes download store faces its biggest challenge yet with the launch of a new service that allows consumers to download music without a digital lock.
Read more about 7digital.com The lock, known as Digital Rights Management (DRM), prevents users from listening to their downloads across all their digital devices, from Blackberries to MP3 players to iPods and mobile phones. But it also prevents people from ever changing between brands and, its critics say, encourages them to download tracks for free from illegal websites.
After months of negotiating with the world's four big record companies, the music website 7digital.com is now offering MP3 downloads without DRM.
EMI, Universal and Warner have been in agreement that DRM had to go for some time, and now the final big name, Sony BMG, whose artists include Bob Dylan, Metallica, Kings of Leon and Michael Jackson, has agreed to abandon the lock. The move puts 7digital.com ahead of Apple's iTunes as well as Amazon.com, which has been planning to roll out its own DRM-free online store for some time.
A spokesman for the website TechDigest said: "This is a momentous occasion because it represents a victory for consumers in the battle for digital music.
"This announcement means that all music bought from 7Digital can be played on iPods."
Consumers will be able to take their pick from around 4 million downloads, ranging from Mozart piano concertos to Thin Lizzy, The Streets and The Kings of Leon.
The firm's chief executive Ben Drury said: "We are extremely happy to be the first and only digital media company providing a full catalogue of MP3 music for the increasing number of people who are using the internet to download music onto different devices.
"The high-quality DRM-free MP3 format is what digital music consumers have been waiting for. It is a universal download format that can be copied and played on multiple devices including iPods, iPhones, Blackberries and other devices."
He added: "Consumers see DRM as somewhat of a hindrance when purchasing legal digital music. The availability of all of the big four music labels in high-quality MP3 is fantastic news for the UK music fan - everything they now buy from us they can be sure will work on all their devices."

Over recent years, Elmer Fudd, Marilyn Monroe and
Michael Jackson have joined Daffy, Mickey and Elvis on the ballot, town officials said. Neighbors, spouses and former elected officials have appeared. And if the phrase "anyone but these guys" were a candidate, it would often contend for the seat, they said. But instead, the votes aren't counted.

Number eight. He has won two Oscars. Yes. Yes. Not Oscars. But I have won two robotic championships. This is actually true. Absolutely, they weren't "official" as I was round at my friend's house, but her grandma and her mum AND her dad all voted, so they've got to count for something right? (In case you're fascinated, the first award was for dancing in a stilted "automatic" way all the way through
Michael Jackson's "Bad" and the second was for the "Is she actually in a box?" category.)

The Year of the Gentleman, reconfigures "grown and sexy" by detailing relationships with an often uneasy mix of heartache, reflection, wit, lust, and resignation.

Back in the Red Rock we looked around and saw one of our buddies who works for Magna Media. He’s a great guy who actually attended the same high school I did Cantwell High in Montebello, California.
Two hours later we returned back to the house and passed by Michael Jackson’s new Vegas home. A pack of little pre-teen girls waited outside in the dark probably hoping to catch a glimpse of the King of Pop.

Lim in a way, almost demystifies the magical aura that often shrouds musicians and the creative process of music making. He doesn't listen to classical music 24 hours a day _ in fact he doesn't even have a stereo at his New York apartment. Having grown up as a fan of Michael Jackson, he spends his free time tuning into Korean drama soundtracks.

Ray Ban has relied on photographs of celebrities to promote their eyewear throughout the years. The Blues Brothers, Miami Vice’s Don Johnson, Michael Jackson, and Madonna are just a few of the people who join Tom Cruise as Ray Ban wearers and promoters. Ray Ban Aviators have remained in style for decades but this company also moved with the times in terms of its other models. There were bright, colorful frames used in designer prescription glasses and designer spectacles to reflect the style of the 60’s, big flashy shades in the 70’s, and sportier designs of the 80’s.
