Michael Jackson News

Sunday, 28 June 2009

NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida officials say one passenger chased another down the aisle of a county bus during a fight over news of Michael Jackson's death. The Broward County Sheriff's Office says 54-year-old Henry Wideman was released Saturday on $5,000 bond on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A phone number for him rang unanswered. According to a release from the sheriff's office, 60-year-old James Kiernan announced news of the pop singer's death on a bus Thursday night. The driver, who wasn't identified, said Jackson should have been jailed long ago. The sheriff's office says Wideman got angry when Kiernan responded that the world just lost a great musical talent. Wideman allegedly shouted profanities and threats at Kiernan and chased him with a knife. Kiernan wasn't hurt.

Michael Jackson - Thriller - HM The Queen - Coldstream Guards - - Rehearsal

Oldest regiment in the Regular Army in continuous active service, originating in Coldstream, Scotland in 1650 when "General George Monck" founded the regiment. It is one of two regiments of the Household Division that can trace its lineage to the New Model Army, the other being the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons).

The grouping of buttons on the tunic is a common way to distinguish between the regiments of Foot Guards. Coldstream buttons are arranged in pairs, and a star of the garter is marked on their brassware.

Prisoners Of Love: The New Michael Jackson Tribute - Stop The Presses!

Prisoners Of Love: The New Michael Jackson Tribute

Posted Sat Jun 27, 2009 3:41pm PDT by Billy Altman in Stop The Presses!

Talk about deja view all over again.

Earlier today, the 1,500 orange-jumpsuit-clad inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention & Rehabilitation Center on the east coast of Cebu Island in the Philippines reprised their phenomenally popular 2007 viral performance of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to honor the King Of Pop, who died Thursday. After that, they performed this touching new tribute:

The original four-minute Web-smash video, you may recall, stemmed from an experimental program started by local security consultant Byron Garcia, which added synchronized dancing to the prison's exercise programs in the hopes of spurring better attendance and more involved participation. And judging by the results, it was certainly a success, as Garcia's post of the convicts' conga lines cavorting a la Jackson and his legion of undulating undead became an immediate phenomenon, drawing over 24 million hits--a million of them in the 24-hour period following the news of Jackson's death. 

Of course, "hit" would seem to be an especially appropriate word when discussing criminals--though judging from the, er,  résumés of many of the thespic inmates at Cebu prison, drug-related offenses do seems to be up there in shared "credits."

Were these guys and gals troupers? After getting the OK to proceed with the tribute performance, the 1,500 guys and gals of the Cebu company practiced virtually around the clock under the watchful eyes of not only their built-in audience of armed prison guards but also a professional choreographer hired by the prison to whip the company into "Thriller"-appropriate lurching shape. 

And bless their paying-their-debts-to-society heads, the Cebu inmates have once again done their warden, the country, and, yes, the entire planet proud. As Michael Jackson, the fallen idol whose music helped these unlikely people gain international recognition, once noted, it doesn't matter if you're black or white, or living as a free person in society or inside a detention and rehab center in the Philippines. We're all people--and we are the world.
