There are several articles today that are reporting, without any surprise to us, that Michal Jackson was the biggest search in 2009. I personally don't find any use to report that any further.

MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON DVD SET FOR JANUARY RELEASE
The DVD of MICHAEL JACKSON's concert rehearsal movie THIS IS IT will be released to coincide with the seven-month anniversary of the King of Pop's death.
The release will feature more than 90 minutes of extra footage, including interviews with director Kenny Ortega and the cast of the ill-fated This Is It show and behind-the-scenes documentaries.
The Jackson estate has allowed Ortega to include the full videos to Thriller and Smooth Criminal in the DVD, which will hit stores on 26 January (10).
Jackson died from a drug overdose on 25 June (09). This Is It has grossed more than $165 million (GBP103 million) worldwide since its release in October (09).

Michael Jackson death charges expected to take months
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A decision on possible criminal charges over the June death of Michael Jackson is "months rather than weeks away", the Los Angeles Times on Monday quoted law enforcement sources as saying.
Authorities have consulted medical experts and say there is much evidence to review, the Los Angeles Times reported, and no charges are expected to be filed before 2010.
Police and prosecutors could not be reached for comment.
Police have been investigating Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray for months after coroners ruled Jackson's death a homicide. The official report said the anesthetic propofol and the sedative lorazepam were the primary drugs that led to the "Thriller" singer's sudden death on June 25..
Authorities have searched the Houston and Las Vegas offices of Murray, who has denied any wrongdoing and who was with Jackson, 50, on the morning of his death. He had been caring for the singer in Los Angeles as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in the weeks before his death.
Meanwhile, Sony Pictures announced that the "This Is It" concert film compiled of Jackson's rehearsal footage would be released on DVD on January 26. The movie has earned more than $240 million at the global box-office since its October 28 release.
The DVD will include two documentaries on preparations for the planned comeback tour, features on the audition process and a Jackson memories feature.

'The Offical Michael Jackson OPUS' coming December 7
Out December 7, The Offical Michael Jackson OPUS was begun with the artist before his death in June, and it has been approved by his estate, making it the only official book to come out after his death. The enormous book for the ultimate fan is published by Kraken Opus, which also published Prince's 21 Nights.
At 404 pages and weighing in at 26 pounds (11.7 kg); the enormous leather-bound book includes 300 photos - some rare or previously unpublished - plus fan artwork and tributes, and statements by figures including Reverend Jesse Jackson, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Paula Abdul, John Landis, and Sugar Ray Leonard. It comes packaged in a silk-covered case with an ink drawing by Nate Giorgio.
A particularly notable feature of the book is an innovation the company calls "Opus Reality:" Log onto the Kraken site, then hold up some of the book's photos to a webcam, and music and video compoents will come alive on your computer screen.
Up until the book's release date, a preview copy of the book is at the Opus Store, 10-13 King Street, London.
The book is available for pre-order at $249/£199/€219 from the Opus Store and from Ticketmaster. The company warns that books ordered now, or any time after September 30, will likely not arrive until the New Year.
