Michael Jackson to be Buried on His Birthday
Aug 21, 2009 Hollywood, Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest on what should have been the late singer’s 51st birthday! At least that’s according to Joe Jackson. That means that we should take it with a grain of salt. The Jackson family patriarch told reporters last weekend that the King of Pop will be buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills at 10AM on August 29th, Michael’s birthday. I’m not sure about what he wants to achieve by announcing the date, time and place of his son’s burial to the media. It seems to me that he wants another media spectacle to take place.

Willow Smith does a star turn – as her dad
Jul 16, 2009 Hollywood, Movies
Will Smith couldn’t have said it better himself. The Hollywood action star’s eight-year-old daughter Willow, a budding actress, has shown an early talent for mimicking her dear old dad.
She revealed the skill when talking about the advice Will gave her as she started out on her latest acting foray, a role for television.
“He’s giving me advice like ‘Willow, stay in the moment! You have this, you got it down. Just stay in the moment. OK, now go out there and kill it,’” she said in an interview, taking off her father’s voice.
Willow is set to play a younger version of True Jackson in True Jackson VP, a television story about a teen fashion entrepreneur. Keke Palmer will play the part of an older True.
“I like TV because they laugh and then I laugh and then I do it again. It’s a big happy family,” Willow said.
She also said she really wants to “do this again because it’s really, really easy to work and have fun at the same time”.
Willow appeared with child acting sensation Abigail Breslin in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl and with her father in I Am Legend.
Nickelodeon’s True Jackson VP will air on July 25.

Apr 12, 2008 Award, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Hollywood
Stacy Ferguson, more famously known as Fergie, attends the ASCAP’s 25th Annual Pop Music Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday. The singer’s hit ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ ended up in a tie with Gwen Stefani’s ‘The Sweet Escape’ for song of the year. Of that honor, Fergie said “To get any honor in that room is something very special. Songwriting is an expression of your soul, so to be honored as a writer feels like an approval of your soul.” Aww, how humble of her. Congratulations go out to both Fergie and Gwen for getting the honor.

Britney Spears is quickly getting known as someone who likes to bail and she almost bailed on her music video shoot for ‘Piece of Me’. That is, until her record label planned to use the dancers and location for her video for a younger rising star.
Page Six is reporting that the pop wreck was supposed to show up at Social Hollywood to shoot her new video but was hours late. When it looked like she was going to be a no-show, Jive decided to refit the set for another act’s video shoot – Samantha Jade’s ‘Eyes on Me’. When Brit got wind of what was going on, the Post says that she finally showed up – twelve hours past call time.
