Tini — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:15:37 +0000

Last week the VMA’s aired the full trailer for the upcoming film documenting MJ’s last days as he rehearsed for the “This is It” tour. This weekend a new clip of Michael Jackson performing “Human Nature” live hit the internet—and this video would give any true MJ fan chills up and down their spine. This song was a huge hit back in the day, and to our surprise Jackson sounded absolutely great.

The movie will be in theaters on October 28th for only two weeks! Now you know it’s going to be a frenzy when fans try to purchase these tickets.

Janet Jackson Speaks on MJ with Harper’s Bazaar + Confirmed for VMA Tribute

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:36:06 +0000

The legendary Janet Jackson sat down with Harper’s Bazaar to dish about life after her big brother Michael Jackson passed away, and being a single woman again, after her break-up with Jermaine Dupri. Janet has always been extremely private about her family and love life, so this is major for her. Janet will also appear on the cover of the magazine.

“People can have rhinoceros skin, but there’s a point when something’s going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone. I haven’t watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, How’s Obama doing? I haven’t read a newspaper. On top of that, [we've lost] a family member.” – Janet Jackson

More interview and photos after the jump…

“People said to me that Michael’s daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She’s a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They’re with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going.” – Janet Jackson on Paris Katherine Jackson

“People have actually said that I should get it insured, but I never liked my smile until about six or seven years ago. I thought it was too wide, that it looked like the Joker! So sometimes I wouldn’t smile too wide and would just kind of grin.” – Janet on her famous smile.

“For some people, sure! I don’t know if I’ll get married again. I’ll put it like this: If God wants me to, then I will.” Dating? “Yeah, I’ve had people ask me out. I haven’t entertained any offers thus far, but I’m locking myself in my work right now.” – Janet on marriage and being newly single

Janet Jackson is getting up their in age. So the interviewer had to ask her about having kids and adopting.

“Sure, I’d adopt. And I think that if I’m really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that’s God’s plan for me.”

Janet can do no wrong in our eyes. We are excited to hear that she will also be opening the MTV VMAs 2009 during a tribute to Michael Jackson. Her and Chris Brown are the only people who will be able to do MJ justice, oh and Usher. Check out more of Janet’s interview here

Event Recap: Long Live The King! Q-tip’s Tribute to MJ at the Nokia Theatre

Tini — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:00:36 +0000

Allthatsfab was in the building last night for Q-Tip’s tribute to Michael Jackson at the Nokia Theatre. DJ Spinna and Mark Ronson joined Tip on the turntables and had the crowd going absolutely bananas to MJ hits from 10pm to 4 in the morning!

Q-tip was blowing a whistle, doing his thing on the turntables, skipping around the stage, moonwalking, doing the robot–he was doing the most, and the crowd loved it.

It was funny because nobody really knew what to expect last night. Many people were confused as to if this event was a concert? Was Q-tip hosting a show? Were there going to be live performances? Nobody had a clue, but most Q-Tip fans know that if he’s doing an event it’s going to be poppin’.

When we walked into the theater we noticed that the stage was set up with a bunch of turntables and huge posters of a youngMichael Jackson sitting on a throne. The event was basically a huge party—people having fun, dancing, drinking, and enjoying classic music from the Jackson 5, Janet Jackson, and MJ. Overall, it the event can best be described as a night out at Santos Party House on steroids.

During the peak of the party, singer/songwriter, Marsha Ambrosius, (formerly of Floetry) got on the mic and did an impromptu performance of Michael Jackson’s hit, “Butterflies”. For those that don’t know, she actually wrote the song. Crazy! Check out the video:

Q-Tip also took the time out to call Michael Jackson’s good friend and mentor, Quincy Jones, and let the whole crowd hear his convo:

And of course, there were some celebrity guests in the building as well paying tribute to MJ.

Grandmaster Flash and Angie Martinez were seen on the stage

Stephen Hill was hanging out in the crowd.

It was no surprise to see the Retro Kidz doing their thing on the dance floor. We love these guys.

We didn’t spot Solange in the crowd. She was probably hiding backstage the entire time. But that hair-do and that outfit. We love it, girl.

And Martine (AllThatsFab), cheesing of course. Should have put the drinks down for the picture :-/.

Good times.

MTA To Name Station after Michael Jackson

Tini — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:38:41 +0000

..Or maybe not.

The MTA has denied City Councilwoman Letitia Jame’s request to rename or co-name the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station in Brooklyn (where MJ filmed Beat It in the ’80’s) in Jackson’s honor. According to the NY POST, James (D-Brooklyn) said Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials even told her to “beat it,” when she asked to hang a plaque at the station in honor of the late King of Pop. Fortunately, James is NOT giving up.

In other MJ news, we’ve all been hearing about this MJ Block party organized by Spike Lee for Michael’s 51st Birthdaywhich is supposed to be next Saturday in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. But The Local reports they’re looking to cancel the event. “The mayor’s office has conceded that now that this has been publicized, Fort Greene Park is just not big enough to accommodate the kind of crowds that are foreseeable.”

We believe the event will still be going on, but most likely in a different location and will probably be a private affair. We want our invite!

RIP MJ!

Q-Tip for MJ Tribute & Mos Def Moonwalks!

Tini — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:10:08 +0000

Q-Tip will be joined in the DJ booth by special invited guests producer/artist Mark Ronson and the legendary DJ Spinna.

“Michael Jackson was a huge influence on my music and was an inspiration to me and so many others. I want to bring people together to celebrate the man, his music and his legacy that will undoubtedly live on forever!” states Q-Tip.

The event will honor the King of Pop and celebrate his influence on generations of artists and fans across the globe. Attendees will dance the night away to never-before-heard remixes of Michael Jackson’s hits, as well as rare video footage from the Motown and Sony vaults.

Janet Jackson Is Back To Business

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:14:39 +0000

Janet Jackson is coming back and she is ready to let these little girls have it! If you have noticed, Janet has been taking a little break from music after her not so successful “Discipline” album, but is planning a big media comeback. She is currently shooting Why Did I Get Married 2 and plans to release an autobiography dealing with the trials and tribulations of her highly publicized life. This will all follow the release of a big comeback album, that won’t have ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri involved.

We think the passing of MJ is definitely going to inspire Janet to do something great. Life is too short to dwell on old stuff. Go Head Miss.Jackson!

Tini — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:22:02 +0000

It boggles our mind to imagine how much the Jackson’s are racking in after the MJ’s death. Word has it that a concert film of Michael Jackson’s final rehearsals will open in theater on October 3rd. The price? Well, $60 million, above initial projections reported elsewhere.
