That looks like it will be really neat!

EmeraldSkies said:

Thanks so much! I'll keep this thread posted with it's progress.
Shooting this coming Sunday. The plot should be hopefully obvious
from the tagline..but Tinker Bell helping a die-hard MJ fan cope
on June 25th, 2009, with the tragic news.

Vanilli said:

So is it going to be with real people or all animated?

EmeraldSkies said:

It's with real people..but using After effects to give our
Tinker Bell actress some "Disney animation" magic, as far as her
pixie dust goes, and all of that.

Vanilli said:

good luck. hope it does well for you.

RipTheJacker said:

Sounds alot better here although I'm on the first link. The Keep The Faith I wasn't feeling at all, forcing his voice to sound like Mike, you can tell when he has to hit high notes...can't be too good for his voice. Better than jason malachi but truth be told I NEVER liked him for 5 seconds lol so with me that aint saying much. Imitators like ecas and navi and vocal imitators...trust me youre at the wrong address with me.

But Tinkerbell is a mean and vile character.

Militant said:

I want. NOW

It's been added to my MJ t-shirt collection, which also contains this beauty:



as well as two "This Is It" shirts (one grey, one black), and a white t-shirt with a still from the "Black or White" video.

Sadly, I think my actual HIStory Tour t-shirt that I bought when I went to one of the Wembley shows in July '97 bit the dust years ago. I guess that's what happens when you wear it pretty much everyday from the age of 10 onwards. lol

I also bought two bigass posters at that show and a tour programme. Don't know where those are either. Most likely either gone or in storage somewhere at my dads house....but there's so much stuff there that I don't know if I'd ever find them

Convention fit for a King of Pop

Michael Jackson fans have "Got to Be There" when the first MJ Fanvention convenes in August.

Plans for the first MJ Fanvention were announced Monday during a news conference at Merrillville's Star Plaza Theatre. The convention, honoring the King of Pop, will be Aug. 26 to 29 at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza. The event coincides with what would have been the legendary singer's 52nd birthday on Aug.29.

"This is the only event of its kind taking place near Michael's childhood home (Gary), and it will attract attention to Northwest Indiana," said presenter Renae Brantley, CEO of Fluid Entertainment Inc. and Fluid Productions LLC. "This is also the only event endorsed by the Jackson family."

The convention will feature entertainment by members of the extended Jackson family and other performers, question-and-answer sessions, author talks, tours of the Jackson family home in Gary and more.

"We wanted to honor Michael's stellar career and to recognize his marvelous contribution to the entertainment field," Brantley said.

Singer Genevieve Jackson, daughter of Michael's younger brother, Randy Jackson, appeared at Monday's announcement.

"I'm happy to be here," Genevieve said. "And I'm looking forward to being here in August because this is where it all began," she said, adding her "Uncle Mike" used to tell her what it was like growing up in Indiana. Genevieve will perform at the August event in addition to The Triple Dose Band, led by Michael's cousin Keith Jackson, and various members of the latest generation of Jacksons.

Among other entertainers scheduled to perform is Michael's protege, Omer Bhatti.

"Today we're announcing a very exciting tribute to one of the greatest entertainers of all time," said Charlie Blum, president, CEO and talent buyer for Star Plaza Theatre and Star Productions.

"We're absolutely thrilled to be the host venue for this illustrious event."

Michael's cousins Trent and Kayla Jackson, along with his mother Katherine's assistant, Mary Christmas, appeared via satellite from Encino, Calif. They sent best wishes from Katherine, who originally was scheduled to appear by live feed.

Along with the media and other guests, members of the extended Jackson family who still reside in Northwest Indiana attended the conference.

Evelyn Lahaie, the woman known for naming the Jackson Five, also appeared.

She said she's looking forward to being a part of the August event, where she'll be on a speakers' panel.

"It's a very special time, and it's a chance to honor the family and all they've contributed," Lahaie said.

The MJ Fanvention also will include a special tree planting ceremony at 2 p.m. Aug. 28 at Jackson's childhood home, where Katherine Jackson and other family members will pay tribute to Michael's love for the environment. A VIP gala reception will follow the ceremony at 6, with a concert titled "The Jacksons -- The Next Generation" kicking off at 8 p.m.

The Michael Jackson Birthday Celebration will run from 3 to 5 p.m. Aug. 29 and feature a tribute concert by West Side Theatre Guild.

A portion of the proceeds from the MJ Fanvention will be donated to local charities honoring Michael's commitment to the environment and humanity.

Have you all seen this guys? THis is just too cute.


This is one of the funniest things I´ve ever seen.

[Edited 3/30/10 11:08am]

I´ve never seen this.

I want this whole interview. He was just sooooo hot in it.

What does he say after loving blue skies at 2:18? It´s interesting that he says afterwards he´s kidding. I always thought he meant that. I am a bit confused as to how to understand it.

I asked my friend who lives in Japan and works as a translator there about that clip that dag posted.

She told me that the guys in that clip are a famous boyband called SMAP and they have their own TV show. Their management asked Michael to come in and surprise them on the show and he agreed.

She also provided me with all the clips with added English subtitles.

Peep:





That was so awesome of Michael to do that.

dag said:

AWWWW! I love the way he hugs them.

Cinnie said:

Thanks for clearing that up.

I would love to see what was on that page where he said he´s afraid to look at the next one.
