50 CENT’S HOT NEW SINGLE – ‘WHERE YOU ARE’

Here is a dope new single from 50 Cent using a very timely sample.  I think its 50′s time again, remember I said that.

DETAILED ACCOUNT OF EVENTS AT HOSPITAL WITH MICHAEL JACKSON

A man by the name of Thomas was right there and he gives a deep, detailed account of what happened the day Mike died.

My name is Thomas and im a big fan of AHH. Im currently taking the day off because i have mono and was at the UCLA medical center just 2 hours ago. I was getting some blood tests done today at 3:30pm on the 6th floor. About 40 minutes into my wait….4:10pm i saw that there was numerous celeberties running into the hospital, security everywhere. I saw camera after camera around the hospital. It was like the wait was postponed due to the influx of people. My nurse, Ester Willams told me that the king of pop died and that the hospital services would be frozen. This was due to the reason that the hospital was expecting thosands of people rushing the hospital in the next few hours. I got to see his Latoya Jackson crying and being escorted by 5 security gaurds along with dozens of cameras including TMZ. His mother whose name i dont know, was stopped in the middle in the hall just trying to get a hold of Janet Jackson on the phone. I saw chris tucker come in the hospital with a security gaurd covering his mouth like he saw a ghost. I feel horrible for the family, they seemed to just ignore the press, which i think shouldve been escorted out of the hospital. By this time there where at least 30 security gaurds gathered and i was asked to reschedule my appointment and vacate the premises. I hope the other people in the hospital will get care too. But my condolences to the jackson Family. RIP Michael Jackson….king of pop…hope this helps you out…

Wow, I’m still messed up by MJ’s passing.  In my city all record stores and even Chapters were sold out of Michael Jackson albums by Thursday night!– VERSE

MICHAEL JACKSON MAKES GOOD WITH PAUL MCCARTNEY

MICHAEL JACKSON GIVES BACK TO PAUL MCCARTNEY?

This came off the internet and I thought it was a grand gesture by Michael Jackson.  He and Paul McCartney were NOT cool after MJ bought The Beatles catalogue. Check it:

U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror quoted a Jackson insider as saying in January saying:

“Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.”

Jackson, who died today at 50 years of age, had been reportedly diagnosed with cancer and one can speculate that the strain put on his heart during workouts for his concerts next month in London ultimately led to the King of Pop’s demise. Jackson had sold 50% of his assets to Sony but held the other half which would be given back to McCartney if the rumors are proven to true.

MICHAEL JACKSON WE ALREADY MISS YOU

By VERSE

It is the aftermath that is often the hardest part of loss to deal with.  The initial shock, especially with Michael’s death was somewhat eased by the suddeness of the event but now it sits in and the realization and valuation of what we lost is upon us.

When I think about Michael Jackson so many things come to mind, so many memories are erected.  The one prevailing thought is that it will be impossible to explain the impact, the barriers broken, the sheer magnitude of the phenomenon that was and is Michael Jackson.  MJ is truly the ‘King of Pop’, the very way we listen to and receive music was crafted and mastered by him.  He was the one that made MTV break down and play a black artist’s music and video that featured not only the black artists but dancers, he blurred genres, he showed artists the value of owning your music and investing your music money.

I have never seen a muscian that affected cartoons, merchandising, television programming, movies, fashion, dance and ofcourse music across the globe in countries where english wasn’t even understood.  The king to this day has more sales of Thriller than any other artist has in their entire career! He affected so many.  I remember singing his music as a kid, trying to master his moon walk, watching my parents dance to him, watching Alvin (From Alvin and The Chipmunks) imitate him and seeing his image on my pencil case.

It is rare that greatness is valued by all who see it in its prime and Michael achieved that.  In a time when colour, creed ad religion divided people and nations; all was set aside to appreciate Michael Jackson.  Personally I am inspired by him and hope one day to be as great as something as he was at moving people.

R.I.P Michael Jackson – THE KING OF POP LIVES FOREVER!

R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON!

Apparently Michael Jackson is being hospitalized for cardiac arrest.  I hope everything is alright with the legend.  Apparently he was training with Lui Ferigno, maybe the Hulk pushed him too far.

Legendary pop singer Michael Jackson was taken to the hospital, where he died today, after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles, California today (June 25).

Paramedics administered CPR on the 50-year-singer, as he was rushed to a local Los Angeles hospital via an ambulance.

Calls from Jackson’s house were placed to 911 around 12:20 PM PT from his Holmby Hills home in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.com.

In December of 2008, Jackson’s brother Jermaine made startling claims that the King of Pop was suffering from a rare lung disease and other potentially fatal illnesses, although neither health issues were confirmed.

Jackson was currently in the middle of planning a 50-date concert series at London’s O2 Arena, as well as working on a come back album.

I am so ……… I truly don’t know how to feel about this.  WOW, we lost a legend! — VERSE

TRANSFORMERS WAS CRAZY! MEGAN STOLE THE SHOW

By VERSE

Transformers was crazy but before I get into that I have to make a  cliche comment and I am not even on her like that but Megan Fox is so intensely sexy in this movie that it begins to start making you think she is as unreal as the robots you are watching themselves.  Then I saw this and it all made sense lol.

Now for the movie; loved it!  Personally, the only draw back, and its a major one, were some of the stereotypes played upon for some the transformers personalities.  Completely unnecessary.  This movie though goes so far beyond the first one because this time they took the fight scenes to the next level, dialogue is perfect and then there is Megan Fox.  I hope she doesn’t forget about our love child now that she is famous.  Daddy misses you baby LOL.

P.S.

Bumblebee is hardcore in this movie! And for the record make sure you have a minute, this movie is 2.5 hours long.

FARRAH FAWCETT DIES AT 62

Farrah Fawcett, who rose to stardom in the 1970s with Charlie’s Angels and adorned fans’ bedroom walls thanks to a certain red bathing suit, passed away today at 9:28 a.m., reports Extra. She was 62.

Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, recently learned that the disease had spread to her liver and was undergoing chemotherapy.

Throughout her battle, Fawcett had been close to her longtime companion Ryan O’Neal, to whom she’d recently become engaged. Fawcett and O’Neal shared a son, Redmond, who was arrested with his father on drug charges and was admitted to a drug court program in April.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Fawcett had checked into the hospital and had been there for at least two weeks. Fawcett’s battle with cancer was profiled in the documentary Farrah’s Story, which aired May 15 on NBC.

Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Fawcett was voted the most beautiful woman by her high school colleagues; Hollywood played up her looks by casting her in guest-starring roles on shows such as I Dream of Jeannie, The Flying Nun and The Partridge Family.

After guest-starring in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, which her then-hubby Lee Majors headlined, Fawcett posed in a red bathing suit for a poster that sold more than eight million copies.

TV producer Aaron Spelling (Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place) snapped up the sex symbol, signing her to Charlie’s Angels. The series was a smash hit when it debuted in 1976, and featured Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith as detectives who worked for a mysterious man named Charlie.

All three actresses became household names, but Fawcett was particularly embraced by fans and media, and graced magazine covers.

Though she starred in several big-screen movies – such as Sunburn, Saturn 3 and The Cannonball Run – Fawcett’s success always came via the small screen. In a 1984 TV movie based on a true story, The Burning Bed, her role as an abused wife taking revenge on her husband earned her Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

She received a second Emmy nomination in 1989 for Small Sacrifices, a TV movie based on a true story about a woman who was so obsessed with a man that she killed her children to be with him.  Fawcett earned a third Emmy nomination in 2003 for a guest role on The Guardian.

In 1995, she was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

50′S NEW ‘WAR ANGEL’; LOVE IT!

By VERSE

TRU LIFE ON TRIAL FOR MURDER

Former Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam artist Tru Life turned himself in to authorities last night (June 23) to face a charge of 1st degree murder, according to reports.

The charge is possibly tied to a brutal stabbing incident last week that left one man seriously injured, and an 18-year old teen dead.

As reported by press, police were initially investigating Tru Life’s brother for a retaliation attack in the non-fatal shooting of Michael Slater.

The individual, whom police suspect is a drug dealer, was shot in the stomach outside of club Pacha.

Several hours after the crime, police claim five gang members ambushed 30 year old Jason Black and the unamed teen at a Manhattan apartment complex.

Both men were stabbed repeatedly in the chest and face.  Black survived the assault, while the unidentified teen succumbed to his wounds.

At the time, police theorized that the back and forth violence was the result of a feud between Jason Black and Tru Life’s brother.

1st degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under New York law

If an official or witness is not the victim, the distinction can also be decreed for murders involving multiple parties or tortuous killings.

Tru Life’s last music effort, “Wet ‘em Up,” was heard as a selection on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto IV.

At press time, Tru Life could not be reached for comment.
