Chris Chan - Can't Touch This (Autism Mix)
MOON-SPOON-LUNE| Michael Jackson Wanted Psychic Spoonbender Uri Geller's Help to be 1st Man to 'Moonwalk' on Moon ¿est le moonwalk sur la lune?
POP TO MOON
MICHAEL Jackson was in advanced talks with a space scientist in a desperate bid to do the moonwalk on the moon before he died, we can reveal.
The singer was obsessed with beating his popstar rivals into space and wanted to top them by actually making it to the moon to do his famous dance move - in a ten-year £1.2 billion project.
But the plan was thwarted after Jacko was arrested and charged with child molestation, spiralling him into a world of depression and drug abuse that meant he was unfit for space travel.
The revelations are made in a documentary airing tonight on IV1, where Jocko's close friend Uri Geller unveils his private footage of the star.
And, speaking exclusively to the News of the World, Uri also reveals that troubled Jacko's fascination with space and the afterlife meant he believed he would get to see the universe in spirit form if he died before he got the chance to do it alive.
Psychic Uri, who asked Jacko to be the best man when he renewed his wedding vows to wife Hannah in 2001, has released a recorded voicemail message revealing the singer's excitement at being told his dream of rocket travel was possible.
In the message left at 3am one morning Jacko beams: "Uri Geller, it's Michael Jackson ¿REM when you get this message, please know that I pray we do the moon trip.
"I want to be the first one to do it in the pop world. Now I hear that 'N Sync and all these people are trying to go. I want to be first¿please.
"And let's do hands across England and let's think of some other wonderful things. I love you. Goodbye."
The message was left in 2002 after Uri told Jacko there was a Boeing scientist with links to NASA, Martin Coverlet, who thought the trip could work.
At the time other singers like Lance Bass from Bond 'N Sync had entered the race to get to space.
And Jacko became obsessed with beating them.
Uri, 62, told us: "He wanted to be the first popstar in space so badly. He had to be first.
"He knew it wouldn't only be history-making, it would be history-shattering. Can you imagine¿Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk on the moon?
"It was unbelievable the determination he had. It was a burning desire to walk on the moon.
"It wasn't all he thought about - because he was occupied with his children and don't forget he was a great father - he had many things going on.
"But he had a very tough life, and amidst the turmoil he found peace by helping others and by making these kind of dreams come true. This was like a beauty spot for him.
"It was a secret dream of his that he shared with me. He kept it a secret because it was so far out there.
"With me he was very open about these things - like things you see on movies like the Matrix and Star Wars and things where people go into space.
"Michael was very excited about the prospect of being taken to space. He and I always talked about the possibilities of the mind and body and what mankind can achieve.
"Michael believed in the impossible and so did his fans and so did I.
"It took me awhile to believe that Martin was legit. But when the emails started becoming more technical I realised this could happen.
"Michael started talking about it every time he would call me. He left me that message on my answering machine about it.
"It's such a sweet message. It is so naïve and so real. Michael believed in it and I knew that if he was involved, money was no object.
"You are talking about a few billion dollars. But what is a few billion for Pepsi, or General Motors or General Electric or one of the major companies that would have loved to see their insignia on Michael's space suit and could have sponsored him?
"He once told me over the phone that he is absolutely ready for this, that he would get in shape in no time.
"My astronaut friend Edgar Mitchell - the sixth man to walk on the moon - told me many a time how difficult the training was to go into space. I asked Michael if he was up for it and he said 'are you kidding? A concert is more difficult than a flight to the moon.'
"He was ready to do whatever it took to make his dream come true."
Jacko, whose bedroom walls were plastered with Star Wars posters, was due to meet with aerospace engineer Martin to finalise plans just as he was arrested in 2003 on multiple charges of child molestation relating to his relationship with 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo. After a five-month trial in 2005, Jacko was acquitted of all charges.
But after years of legal turmoil, on top of his other health problems, Jacko's body was left extremely weak- and he never again spoke about flying to the moon.
Uri said: "The trial totally shattered the dream. Everybody knows that the trial was a huge, huge trauma for Michael. That is all I can say."
Uri, famed for his ability to bend spoons with his mind, also said Jacko, who was raised a Jehovah's Witness but later converted to Islam, found solace in their chats about the afterlife.
Uri said: "I don't want to go into the intimate things I spoke to him about - and by intimate I mean the very kind of far-fetched things.
"But he was a very, very open-minded individual who believed that everything could happen in the universe and beyond.
"He and I spoke about life after death. We spoke about Albert Einstein's equation of relativity which effectively means everything in the universe is made from energy and energy cannot be destroyed. He would tell me 'Uri, that means our soul, our spirit, it cannot be destroyed.'
"He believed that life goes on in another realm, another dimension.
"I believe that he is sitting up there with the musical greats like Sinatra and Lennon and Elvis.
"His star is shining brighter than them all. I really believe that in spirit his energy is out there and he will have fulfilled his dream and seen the moon."
Aerospace engineer Martin, who got in touch with Uri about his plan for Jacko, told us how he was prepared to join the singer and approach the Russian government about launching Jacko into space.
It was going to be a three-part process with Jacko first taking a £12 million trip to a space station and then doing a £120 million circum-lunar trip around the moon.
Finally, he would have been launched in a space capsule to land on the moon and perform a low-gravity bouncing version of the moonwalk.
Jacko's costumes would have been leather-clad and included his trademark sparkly glove - just like the ones worn in tribute at his funeral in Los Angeles.
Martin, currently employed as an engineering manager for aircraft giants Boeing, said: "Uri just kept saying Michael has a dream to go to the moon.
"Three people would go - one Russian cosmonaut and two passengers.
"We were going to go to the Russians because we thought they would get it done faster.
"Michael has access to such resources if he wanted to tap into them.
"The moon is a big deal. Lots of people want to go to station. But the moon is a different thing. Everyone who has gone up for a space holiday even to just station so far is very rich.
"We would have needed new hardware for him to land safely. But if anyone had the power to raise the money through sponsorship, doing a concert or whatever, it was Michael. You call up the Kremlin and say 'Michael Jackson wants to go to the moon' and they're going to call back."
But, like the rest of the world, Martin saw the toil the trial had taken on Jacko's body - which we now know contributed, along with excessive cosmetic surgery and other ailments, to his heavy use of painkillers like Demerol, Propofol, Fentanyl and Vicodin, as well as anti-anxieties Xanax and Valium.
Martin said: "You have to be in generally good health to go to space. You have to be in shape enough to ride a rocket¿but 69-year-old guys have ridden in rockets.
"All that being said, you don't get to go to station unless you are clean and sober.
"You aren't going to be allowed to go up there doing some of the medication he was doing.
"You can't have an addiction. You have to have a certain lifestyle."
My Friend Michael Jackson: Uri's Story airs tonight at 8pm on ITV1.
«La course pour obtenir à l'espace et Jacko est devenu une obsession avec les battre", dit Uri. Il voulait être "la première popstar dans l'espace" ¿Is the moonwalk on the moon? " " The race to get to space and Jacko has become an obsession with the fight, "said Uri. He wanted to be "the first pop star in space"¿est le moonwalk sur la lune?

Michael Jackson's nose missing in morgue - Kansas City Star

Michael Jackson in 2001. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)And now, for one of the more bizarre reports to come out of the Michael Jackson aftermath ...
The Aug. 6 issue of Rolling Stone magazine reports that the artificial nose the King of Pop wore was missing when he was taken to the Los Angeles county morgue after his death on June 25. Jackson was 50 when he died at his rented mansion in Los Angeles.
"The prosthesis that he normally attached to his damaged nose was missing, revealing bits of cartilage surrounding a small dark hole," the magazine said in an unconfirmed report.
Adrian McManus, a former housekeeper of Jackson's, says that the singer kept a jar of fake noses in his closet that he adhered to his face with stage glue when he wanted to disguise himself.
Jackson's obsession with plastic surgery is no secret. Some say he was desperate to change his appearance so that he didn't look like his father, Joe Jackson.
One friend, Marcus Phillips, has said: "Michael was elated about the fact that with the second nose job he looked less like his father. If he couldn’t erase Joe from his life at least he could erase him from the reflection in the mirror."
No word on the whereabouts of his nose now.

The NYT nationwide bestseller The Dangerous Book for Boys coaxed boys away from their televisions and video games and brought them outside. But boys aren't the only ones who can get inspired by the games, heroes and escapades of a bygone era. After all, anything boys can do, girls can do better -- and The Daring Book for Girls will show them how...

Ridiculous Life Lessons From New Girl Games | GameLife | Wired.com
Ridiculous Life Lessons From New Girl Games | GameLife | Wired.com
Some parents worry that videogames might cause their children to become violent and antisocial, but what if the opposite were true? What if games could make kids exceedingly likable and fashionable?
A wave of new games for tween girls seeks to do just that, serving up innocuous gameplay designed to let players become perfect little princesses. Aimed at that lucrative, Hannah Montana-fueled intersection of childhood and adolescence, these games might give 8- to 12-year-olds their first experiences with fashion, make-up, popularity … even boys.
The weird thing is that you can view these “wholesome” games as being just as bad for girls as Grand Theft Auto’s random bloodshed and rampant criminality is for young, impressionable boys. And while GTA’s influence on boys has been dissected to death, what about the Nintendo DS’ upcoming avalanche of games for tween girls? What kinds of values do preteens learn from these titles? Valuable life lessons, or bad habits?
The Clique: Diss and Make Up
(Warner Bros. Interactive, Aug. 31)
What it’s about: Inspired by the best-selling books, The Clique has the player take on the role of a new student at an all-girls middle school. The goal is to work your way up the social ladder through different cliques (math club, jocks, etc.) using “gossip, fashion and wit” until you finally are able to join the school’s top posse, the Pretty Committee.
What it teaches girls: Ponytails, books and plaid shirts will get you stared at. Better to jump through hoops and pretend to be someone you’re not in an effort to become one of the most popular girls in school, because it beats the hell out of being part of the Ugly Committee.
Charm Girls Club: My Fashion Mall, My Fashion Show and My Perfect Prom
(Electronic Arts, Oct. 20)
What it’s about: EA’s new line of games features possibly the hardest-working group of BFFs in America. Fashion Mall has the girls managing a mall, dealing with “mall drama” and making it a “hip hangout”; My Fashion Show lets players design clothes (”And make sure the puppy’s outfit matches too!”) and direct models; My Perfect Prom has you plan, decorate and eventually attend the big dance. The goal? To complete tasks and collect “sparkly, virtual charms.”
What it teaches girls: “Sparkly, virtual charms” are just as good as money. Mall management is a viable career choice. You can bring your pets to fashion shows. And prom has to be nothing less than perfect.
The Daring Game for Girls
(Majesco, October)
What it’s about: This interactive version of the best-selling how-to hardcovers guides players through the book’s suggested activities: everything from spy missions and cave exploration to Double Dutch and basketball. It also imparts educational facts about famous women in history; players are tested with pop quizzes. The goal is to obtain six merit badges in order to earn an adventure to Africa, the Amazon or Mt. McKinley.
What it teaches girls: Surprisingly, a lot. Like the book, the game offers handy tips and facts as well as non-stereotypically female activities, encouraging girls to seek adventure — not boyfriends or cute clothes, for once. So, of course, no one will actually play it.
Dreamer Series: Top Model
(Dreamcatcher Interactive, July 21)
What it’s about: Top Model shows what it takes to become … a top model. Players can choose their make-up and clothing as well as learn the right poses through various mini-games. Girls will be able to “glide through the glitter and glamour of a catwalk career” that culminates in “a fabulous photo shoot on a Caribbean island!”
What it teaches girls: This game might offer a better example of an aspiring model’s life than, say, America’s Next Top Model. But we’re guessing the game doesn’t expose girls to some of the harsh realities of the industry, such as eating disorders, drug-addled rock stars and completely insane reality TV hosts. And girls, we’d be wary of any “modeling shoot” that promises to take you to a Caribbean island. Just sayin’.
Imagine: Babyz Fashion
(Ubisoft, October)
What it’s about: For the tween without enough time to play separate games about babies and fashion, Babyz Fashion combines them. Appease these fashion-savvy infants by dressing them in the right seasonal clothes (i.e. light outfits for summer, heavy coats for winter) and creating designs to their liking.
What it teaches girls: First, it’s OK to pluralize words by adding the letter Z to the end of them. Second, babyz don’t feel good unless they look good, so make sure their outfits match if you want to be a good mom, like the one on Jon & Kate Plus 8.
Imagine: Detective
(Ubisoft, September)
What it’s about: As an “independent adventurous feminine heroine,” you solve local mysteries armed with your photographic memory, karate skills and “feminine sixth sense.” Then you write about everything on your personal blog, where your goal is to raise traffic and collect cash from sponsors.
What it teaches girls: Girls have a “feminine sixth sense,” so don’t forget: No matter what masculine qualities you have (solving mysteries, karate), you’re still a girl. Which means you can make way more money blogging. (If only this were true.)
My Boyfriend
(THQ, Sept. 14)
What it’s about: Players pick various outfits and make-up while they hang out, exercise and gossip with their friends. But the main object of the game is to create “the love story of your dreams” by choosing from five different guys. Then, players will have to “charm, chat up and chill out” with each different guy to find true love.
What it teaches girls: You are incomplete without a man, or at least a digital replica of one. More specifically, the game instructs that there are only a limited number of potential mates in the world, and the only way to find the right one is to flirt with all of them.
Princess in Love
(THQ, Sept. 14)
What it’s about: Customize Princess Isabella with clothing and accessories. As the queen-in-training, players must mind their manners and plan gala balls while searching for Prince Charming, who can be wooed by learning the right dance moves.
What it teaches girls: No, really, you need a man. Being a princess isn’t just about wearing pretty dresses and waiting for your knight in shining armor all day: You’ve got to work. If you want Mr. Right, it’s up to you, not him, to make the first impression. So get dancin.’
Style Lab: Makeover and Style Lab: Jewelry Design
(Ubisoft, November)
What it’s about: In Makeover, players use the DSi’s camera to take photos of themselves, then superimpose hair and makeup styles over them. Jewelry Design lets girls create their own jewelry and even upload virtual designs online — then buy replicas of the actual products they made in the game.
What it teaches girls: Makeover seems harmless enough; girls might wonder what their hair looks like with rainbow streaks in it. But Jewelry Designer is what parents need to worry about. At a recent demo of the game, we were told that custom jewelry items would cost between $10 and $25 each. Maybe My Boyfriend will pay for it.
Style Savvy
(Nintendo, holiday 2009)
What it’s about: As a boutique owner, players will manage the store by monitoring inventory, funds and fashion trends to keep up sales. Players can customize their own character’s looks, and they’ll also help customers style themselves according to their budgets with more than 10,000 in-game items.
What it teaches girls: All you really need to care about is clothes and how they look on you (and maybe others). But at least you’re able to manage a retail outlet and make some money, although Nintendo’s virtual cash won’t buy any $25 necklaces from Ubisoft.
