LA mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, has demanded that the city will cover the $1.4 million that was spent on MJ's memorial last week. This ends all discussion whether AEG Live, the owner of the Staples Center, or MJ's family, would pick up the large tab.
Villaraigosa is quoted, "This is a world-class city, and we provide fire and police protection, period," Villaraigosa said during his first public appearance since returning from his weeklong trip. "The idea that we would charge the family for a funeral is nonsensical."LA mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, has demanded that the city will cover the $1.4 million... more

Chinese developers are in the process of making deals to build a scaled down replica of Michael Jackson's private amusement park "Neverland" in Shanghai. It's China's way of mourning the loss of the famed King of Pop and will cost the investors around 100 million yuan ($15 million American bucks).
One of the investors is quoted, "By building a Neverland here in China, we want to pay tribute to him and at the same time offer the Chinese people an outlet for expressing their love toward him."
The replica will have Chinese characteristics to blend into the local Shanghai environment.
Very interesting move, China...Chinese developers are in the process of making deals to build a scaled down replica... more

Was it that Taylor, Ross, Quincy Jones and the like, really don't want their names associated professionally with him at this point??? Why? The drugs? The pedophilia that was never dealt with in a psychiatrically ethical way???I agree...

I'm really not an astrologist, but I think I once heard that when a star dies it creates a black hole in the universe. Michael Jackson was not just any star, he was a supernova--no, a sun. And though the world mourns his eclipse-- as his body lay on the stage of the Staples Center-- it is ever apparent that Michael Jackson's light will continue to shine for ages. So, how was I going to watch this memorial? With a Campbell's soup can and a measly iMac? I think not.I'm really not an astrologist, but I think I once heard that when a star dies it... more

Michael Jackson was honored on Tuesday at a memorial service held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, while millions of people throughout the world watched the service on live television. During the service, there were performances by Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Hudson, among others. Toward the conclusion of the Memorial Service, a medley of singers performed “We Are The World” beneath a giant image of the world, later joined by dozens of hand-holding, racially-inclusive children, to sing “Heal the World.”
This piece presents a number of memorable photographs from the service, a wonderful slide show and a link to view the entire service. It also includes two music videos, the performance of “We Are the World” from the Memorial Service and the original 1985 “USA for Africa: We Are the World.”Michael Jackson was honored on Tuesday at a memorial service held at the Staples... more

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, said a tearful farewell to her father at the conclusion of a thoughtful and uplifting memorial service for the King of Pop. While approximately 20,000 people attended the service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, a world wide television audience watched in awe.
After a slight delay, Michael Jackson's memorial got off to an emotional beginning as Mariah Carey performed a version of the Jackson 5's biggest hit, "I'll Be There". Nearly 3,000 miles away New Yorkers marked the solemn occasion by gathering to watch the event on a jumbo screen high above Times Square. As the memorial began, a light rain began to fall in New York, scattering the Times Square observers, metaphorical tears from heaven. Fans also gathered to watch the event on a screen in Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood. No doubt people gathered around the world, in large groups or small, to watch the spectacle and appreciate a genius passed.Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, said a tearful farewell to her father at the... more

We’ve previously noted how viral Facebook Pages can become, thanks in large part to the “Highlights” section of user homepages where you get notified when multiple friends become a fan of a given page. This lead to Ashton Kutcher reaching one million fans on Facebook before one million followers on Twitter (Twitter) (during the infamous CNN race), and Vin Diesel becoming perhaps a bit disproportionately popular on the social network.
Now, this concept has gained a whole new meaning in the aftermath of the loss of Michael Jackson. The King of Pop has vaulted from a mere 80,000 fans prior to his passing to nearly 6.7 million as of this evening. In turn, that makes Jackson’s fan page the most popular on the entire site, surpassing Diesel and President Obama.We’ve previously noted how viral Facebook Pages can become, thanks in large part to... more

So many news stories in the last few hours it's a bit overwhelming, even here at Current Music HQ. And there have been a lot of pretty nasty comments -- some of which come from a very sincere and frustrated place with the man he seemed to have become, and some of which just seem short-sighted and cruel.
I'm thinking about this quote from Ann Powers in the LA Times (http://bit.ly/EM2Ob): "Baby boomers have "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Pet Sounds," but for subsequent generations "Thriller" remains pop's ultimate artistic endeavor."
We'd love to hear directly from you, our community at Current.com, what your Michael Jackson moment to remember is -- the first of his songs you heard, a cover performance you saw, a video that made you want to pick up a camera and create your own movies.
You can twitter us at @current_music, leave a comment here or record a webcam. (Other folks at Current TV are working on some pieces for tonight's news and for tomorrow, too.)

LOS ANGELES, June 25 (Reuters) - In death, Michael Jackson is enjoying a commercial renaissance that had eluded him for years.
The self-proclaimed "king of pop" who died suddenly on Thursday occupied the top 15 slots on online retailer Amazon.com Inc's (AMZN.O) best-selling albums within hours.
The No. 1 disc, not surprisingly, was the 25th anniversary reissue of his 1982 blockbuster "Thriller," the biggest selling album in history with estimated worldwide sales of almost 50 million copies. Three different configurations of "Thriller" came in at number 12, 13, and 14.LOS ANGELES, June 25 (Reuters) - In death, Michael Jackson is enjoying a commercial... more

After tense family negotiations, it has been decided Michael Jackson's memorial service will be nondenominational. The tense negotiations among the Jacksons over which religion should prevail at Tuesday's massive memorial ended in a stalemate, sources told the Daily News. Therefore the family has chosen to proceed with a nondenominational event.
The Jacksons were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses by their mother, Katherine. Since childhood many have strayed from the faith of their mother, dabbling in Christianity, Islam and even kabbalah, a mystical Jewish sect.
Jermaine Jackson became Muslim in 1989 after a trip to Bahrain, and it is rumored Michael took an interest in Islam in recent years, perhaps even going so far as to convert to the Muslim faith. Yet Michael was also known to wear a red string on his left wrist, a symbol of kabbalah -the red string fueling rumors that he had embraced the mystical Jewish sect.
