The Michael Jackson Forever Tribute Concert kicked off Saturday to celebrate the life of the King of Pop.  Katherine, La Toya, Tito, Marlon and Jackie Jackson were in attendance as well as all three of Jackson’s children, Prince, Paris and Michael Joseph Jr. (Blanket).

Janet, Jermaine and Randy Jackson were absent because they were against holding the concert during the same time as Dr. Conrad Murray’s manslaughter trial.

Randy and Jermaine Tweeted: “While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael’s death.”

The Black Eyed Peas dropped out last minute and Jennifer Hudson did not make it, but Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx,  Leona Davis, Beyonce (via video), Christina Aguilera, and Cee Lo Green all performed. Fox sang MJ’s Billie Jean and Lady in My Life, Lewis performed Stranger in Moscow with ballerinas dancing in the background. Beyonce sang I Wanna Be Where You Are, via video.

Aguilera belted Smile and Dirty Diana and Green gave a soulful rendition of I Can’t Help it and You Can’t Win.

Also performing were Smokey Robinson, Alien Ant Farm, Craig Davis, Gladys Knight, Pixie Lott, 3T (Jackson’s nephews), Yolanda Adams and Alexandra Burke who all sang some of MJ’s biggest hits. Foxx joined SLS and The Jacksons to perform Rock With You and Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough. Jackson’s children danced on stage during the show’s finale, Don’t Stop. 

Jennifer Hudson Tweeted about her absence: “To my u.k. fans that were coming to the mj show in wales, I will no longer be attending due to major production issues. I would have thought they would have informed you all by now, so since they did not, I am. Thank u for your support.”

Every time I turn around, I see a new listing of the rich and famous from Forbes. Heck, it’s a slow news day, so, let’s dive into their latest: “World’s Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples” list.

A supermodel and an NFL star is apparently the winning combination when it comes to making lots of dough. Topping the list of the richest couples are footballer Tom Brady and his beautiful wife Gisele Bundchen who earned an astounding $76 combined last year. Good for Bundchen who made the majority of that stash by making $45 million herself. Continue reading →

Beyonce’s album, 4, was released earlier this week and is slated to debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 this week.

Haley Reinhart picked Led Zeppelin’s What Is and What Should Never Be as her first song of the night, a choice that American Idol mentor of the week, Beyoncé, thought was “interesting.”

Haley was joined by her dad on guitar Wednesday night (5/18). She proved she is now a force to be reckoned with, and remained poised and unphased even when she fell during her first song.

Randy Jackson: “This is what it’s all about! I love the fact that now in this moment when you need to be great, this girl is slammin’. You are fearless, you chose a song that is not for the weak at heart. This is crazy vocals and one of your best performances ever. Crazy, crazy.” 
Steven Tyler: “Haley, did you fall for me? It’s not how many times you fall, it’s how many times you get back up. That was superb.”
Jennifer Lopez: “You keep going. That’s the sign of a professional. It was a tough song and you sang it really really great.”
The judges picked Haley as having won the first round. Watch her first song performance:

She did not impress the judges as much on her second song, Rihannon” by Fleetwood Mac, chosen for her by Jimmy Iovine. Jackson called it somber even though he thought her pitch was perfect throughout the whole song. Tyler said “You sang that song so beautifully, I remembered why I fell in love with Stevie Nicks in the first place.” Lopez, said the camerawork did Haley well and thought she could have taken the song a bit further at the end, but called it “beautiful” nonetheless. Watch for yourself:
Haley’s last song of the night was Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know. Jackson said, “America’s got their work cut out for them, because I don’t know, those were some amazing choruses. I love seeing you rock out like that in a soulful way.” Tyler said, “Amazing, that was so perfect. You so nailed the choruses. Beautiful.” J.Lo said, “There is no one that can match you there as far as how high you can go and how much power you can put behind your growling.” Watch the performance for yourself:

Beyonce’s Perfume Ad Is Banned From Daytime TV In The UK For Being Too Sexy

We all know that Beyonce is sexy. She is one of those women that probably looks smoking hot being a couch potato in sweats. She just can’t help it.

But her newest television advertisement for her perfume Heat, starting herself, has been declared way too saucy for British TV – So much so, that it has been banned from broadcast before 7:30 PM.

That is crazy to hear since British TV has always been much raunchier than American TV. Benny Hill anyone? You know, the British comedy show with the dirty old man always chasing young half-naked female around…And that show was what, 30 years ago?

You watch and judge for yourself:

Who made the 2010 Forbes list of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women?

Moira Forbes, vice-president and publisher of ForbesWoman, says that the women who made the list have affected billions of people around the world. “The women on our list, through their respective realms of power and influence, are shaping many of the agenda setting conversations of our day. They have built companies and brands, sometimes by non-traditional means, and they have broken through gender barriers in areas of commerce, politics, sports, media and cultural zeitgeist, and thereby affecting the lives of millions, sometimes billions of people,” said Forbes.

Here is the top 10 women on the 2010 Forbes Most Powerful Women In The World top 10:

1. Michelle Obama, US First Lady
2. Irene Rosenfeld, Kraft Foods, Chief Executive
3. Oprah Winfrey, Media Mogul
4. Angela Merkel, German Chancellor
5. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State
6. Indra Nooyi, Pepsi, Chief Executive
7. Lady Gaga, Musician
8. Gail Kelly, Westpac, Chief Executive,
9. Beyonce Knowles, Musician and Fashion Designer
10. Ellen DeGeneres, Talk Show Host

Oprah, Lady Gaga, Sandra Bullock, Twilight Cast, Beyonce, Madonna Top Forbes Celebrity 100 List

Pants-less pop stars, late-night warriors and sexy vampires spiced up the fame game last year, withLady Gaga, Conan O’Brien and Twilight superstars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson joining the Forbes Celebrity 100 List for the first time. But the big news is that the last 12 months was the year of the women! The annual list of the most powerful celebrities included 6 women in the top 10! I say, it’s about time. Rankings are based on earnings in the past 12 months, as well as visibility across print, television, radio, and online presence.

Earning $315 million over the past 12 months helped Oprah take over the number one spot from Angelina Jolie, who was 2009’s overall winner. Angelina fell to number 18 this year. Newcomer on the list with a surprising number 4 showing is Lady Gaga. Beyonce is at number 2 with earnings of $87 million thanks to her 90-plus date global tour, and a portfolio which includes album sales, her House of Dereon fashion line and a slew of endorsement deals. Sandra Bullock also makes the list at #9. Rounding out the top 10 for women is a surprise showing for Britney Spears at number 6 and Madonna at number 10.

As far as notable no-shows are concerned, Will Smith and 50 Cent both dropped off of the list because of their lack of presence in 2009; Smith made no new films and 50 Cent’s album sold a meager 500,000 copies. To see who else made or did not make the list, check out Forbes.

Beyonce is Being Sued By Her Neighbor for Invasion of His Neighborhood

OH PLEASE MOMENT.



   The ex-litigator in me just couldn’t pass up on this juicy crazy story. TMZ reports that a neighbor has filed a lawsuit against the ever-lovely Beyonce Knowles for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages because his peace and quiet were “shattered” March 26th of this year when a film crew shooting Beyonce’s new video “invaded his neighborhood”. Heaven forbid, he was woken up from a “peaceful sleep” at the ungodly hour of 7 AM and later on, the entrance to his home was blocked temporarily by the video production company’s equipment. Please go to TMZ and read the actual charges in the complaint, starting on page 4. It’s a doozy. Even if he may have a legal case, to this, all I have to say is,”Oh please... Beyonce, feel free to invade my hood whenever you like.”
