Aaron Carter to Wear Jackson's Jacket on DWTS

In an interview MJ did a few years back, he explained how giving he was with others. If someone saw something they adored on him, he had no problem giving it to them as a gift. He used the example of Sammy Davis Jr. who gave him an article of clothing off of his back simply because he admired and complitmented him on it. So when Aaron was telling this story to Chelsea Handler, I knew it was Michael all the way.

To hear about the jacket Carter received from Jackson, you can fast forward the clip to 4:44.

Michael Jackson [...] Coined

The late Michael Jackson [is] coming to a coin near you.
Michael Jackson's estate has signed up to start producing collective coins with the image of Jackson engraved.
The Michael Jackson Commemorative Coin Collection--the brainchild of the global music merchandising company, Bravado, and The First Commemorative Mint, Inc.-- is currently being sold through the Home Shopping Network.
Though the coins are state coins, they're also being offered on the Silver Eagle Dollar coin.
"The value of the Michael Jackson coins lie in their unique status as both official collectibles and legal tender issues," Bernie Neumark, President and CEO of the First Commemorative Mint, says. "This has never been possible before so we are excited about the opportunity. Each new coin will be a coveted first edition, so there will be tremendous demand from both coin collectors as well as Michael Jackson fans. Most coins will be produced in limited editions which will add to their scarcity and historic importance."
Michael Jackson's estate is currently worth $500 million. Jackson's longtime friends, attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain administer the estate. On Friday, a Los Angeles judge ruled that Jackson's mother and guardian of his children, Katherine Jackson, has a legal right to have her say in the way the estate is ran. --Linda Hobbs

Prices range from $24.95-$59.95 and are available now.

Janet Jackson Planning Spectacular VMA Tribute to Michael

Now that Michael Jackson’s body has finally been laid to rest, it looks like his sister Janet Jackson is planning to pull out all the stops for a one-time tribute to the King of Pop at next weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards.

According to TMZ, Janet and her crew of around 20 backup dancers have been rehearsing around the clock — up to 15 hours in a single day — for Sunday night’s annual awards spectacle.

Janet, who has remained relatively quiet in the wake of her family’s tragic loss, is reportedly working on the tribute with some of the world’s top choreographers, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.

One dancer involved in the project tells TMZ “there won’t be a dry eye in the house” at the end of the number.

You’ll just have to wait until Sunday, Sept. 13 to see for yourself.

-OK!

Ironically I was saddened by the fact that MJ would no longer be doing any performances or surprise appearances on the VMAs like he used to years before.  Remember when he danced with 'Nsync or came out and kissed his first wife Lisa Marie?  

Anyhow, Janet's tribute would be the tribute of ALL tributes near and far, and I know she would be no less than amazing for her big brother.

Michael Jackson's glove auctioned in Australia

A bejeweled white glove Michael Jackson tossed to an Australian fan more than a decade ago sold at auction Sunday for 57,600 Australian dollars ($48,400), almost twice the estimated selling price.
Warwick Stone, a buyer for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, beat out five other bidders for the late King of Pop's glove, said Charlotte Stanes, spokeswoman for the Melbourne auction house Bonhams and Goodman. The estimated selling price before the auction was AU$30,000.

"We are very happy with the result," Stanes said. "It's the first glove we know about in Australia."

Bonhams and Goodman said it was the first auction of a Michael Jackson glove since his death on June 25 this year at age 50.

Jackson visited Australia in 1996 as part of his HIStory world tour. While in Sydney, he attended the Australian premiere for the film "Ghosts," in which he had a starring role. At the end of the screening, he tossed the glove at audience member Bill Hibble, who has since died, said national head of collectables Giles Moon.

Michael Jackson's Funeral

Telegraph.co.uk has posted some pictures from MJ's funeral that took place in Glendale, CA. His body will be with other stars such as Clark Gable, Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole at the Forest Lawn cemetery. He is now placed under a stained glass window replica of the 'Last Supper'- a painting that Michael also wanted above his bed in his master bedroom.

According to E! News, his three children wrote letters that were put inside the casket and placed a purple crown ontop. Jackson was also dressed with a shoulder length wig and one glove.

May he rest... and hopefully soon- in peace.

NYC subway art contest proposed to honor Jackson

NEW YORK — A New York city councilwoman has come up with another way to honor Michael Jackson at the subway station where he shot the music video for "Bad."
Letitia James had asked the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to place a plaque at Brooklyn's Hoyt-Schermerhorn (SKER'-mur-horn) station — or have the late singer's name added to the station's name.
MTA officials rejected the request because plaques are prohibited in stations.
Now James says she plans to ask for a station art contest honoring Jackson.
The MTA said Tuesday it only considers art for stations when they are up for rehabilitation, and that station won't be rehabbed for at least five years.
Jackson, who died June 25, shot the Martin Scorsese-directed video for "Bad" at the station in 1987.

Michael Jackson tribute lineup to be unveiled soon

VIENNA — It's almost as mysterious as Michael Jackson's moon walk.
Fans still don't know who will perform at a major tribute to the late pop star that will be held outside a 17th-century palace in Vienna later this month.
But they will, exactly one week from now: Organizers say Jackson's brother Jermaine will hold a news conference in the Austrian capital next Tuesday to unveil the lineup for the Sept. 26 concert.
Jermaine Jackson has promised that some of the world's top entertainers will perform Michael's greatest hits on a crown-shaped stage being erected outside Vienna's former imperial Schoenbrunn Palace.
He says the event will be broadcast live to 1 billion fans around the world.
