Michael Jackson Moonwalk Glove Auction
The rhinestoned glove Michael Jackson wore during the world premiere of the Moonwalk will be auctioned in New York City this weekend. The King of Pop wore the bejeweled glove — made in Korea — for his 1983 performance of “Billie Jean” at the Motown 25 TV special.
The glove, which is encrusted with Swarovski crystals is expected to fetch between $40,000-$60,000 dollars in an auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan this Saturday.
“We have toured the glove to Asia, Russia. There is a lot of interest, people are flying from all over the world on Saturday,” says Darren Julien of Julien’s Auction. “This was his most historical performance. … It was his first performance of Moonwalk, he performed it in his kitchen at home two nights before,” says Julien.

Michael Jackson: ‘Duets’ Album in the Pipeline
A new concept for the Michael Jackson industry is set to come to the fore, with a ‘duets’ album set to be released in the near future with stars from all over the globe wanting to take part.
The idea is masterminded by Mike Blakey, with Michael Jackson classics such as ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It’ set to be edited and re-recorded with vocals from Britney Spears, Madonna and Justin Timberlake to make the song sound like a duet, rather than a solo performance. Nothing is set in stone yet, but the album is going to be set up in aid of a new charity set up in Michael Jackson’s name.
In another charity re-work, the stars of X-Factor in the UK have recorded one of Michael’s biggest hits; ‘You Are Not Alone’ with £1 of each purchase going towards the Great Ormond Street Hospital Childrenís Charity. The video can be viewed below.

There are of course many reports about Even Chandler reported death yesterday, but not, at least what I can find, anything "new" about that.
