Perhaps it's Eddie Murphy's fault.

I mean, he is responsible for Norbit, etc.

And Pluto Nash...

But for me it's more the cheap background that disturbs me... I mean, it's Michael F***ing Jackson.. can he put a little more money in that? It seems it was made in a hurry right after they filmed Remember The Time video (same haircut from MJ)

Please don't call the talented Eddie Murphy & future host of the Oscars a girl. He was a grown man that loved MJ. Whatever they had going on privately is not urs or my business

Looked again the second time and I cringed as much as I did the "Tick Tick Bang" scene in Graffiti Bridge or the ENTIRE "Old Dogs" film with Robin Williams and John Travolta

and I know about 4 other videos that are actually worse than both

Still don't know if this interests me. David Guest once said somehting not nice about Michael, and again, this is a project not endorsed by the Estate.. probably the reason why there is only 1 pictures of older Michael on all the cover, maybe...

Who's getting the money from the sales of this dvd... When I get the answer I'll choose if the dvd interests me. Since it's probably Guest and Katherine Jackson, I may pass my turn.

Most likely just Gest

^So Universal Studios is distributing the DVD? Lol at the quote by Katherine on the cover. Will this only be available overseas or will it be available in the US as well?

And lookee here, we got ourselves another MJ tribute. Yippee.

David Gest, Jacksons plan tribute tour to Michael

(Reuters) - Producer David Gest, Tito Jackson and others close to Michael Jackson on Monday unveiled a singing and spoken-word tribute tour to the late King of Pop.

"A Jackson Named Michael: Remembering a Legend," kicks off in the United Kingdom in March 2012, and follows another tribute set for October in Wales that has caused some controversy among fans of the "Thriller" singer.

Gest's show will feature Tito, a member with Michael of Motown singing sensations The Jackson 5, along with another sibling Rebbie Jackson and friend Deniece Williams singing tunes and telling tales about Jackson's life and career. Plans call for a question-and-answer session with audience members.

"The majority of the show will be reminiscences and stories about Michael that the public has never heard," Gest said in a statement.

The tour also follows the October U.K. release of Gest's documentary film, 'Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon," which Jackson's mother and family matriarch Katherine Jackson called "a tremendous achievement."

"This is not my story, but the story of many of Michael's friends' recollections," she said in a statement.

Michael Jackson, who rose to fame in a family of singers before embarking on a solo career that included smash hits such as "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," died in June 2009 of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol which he used as a sleep aid.

His physician at the time, Dr. Conrad Murray, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. He has pleaded not guilty and a trial will start in September.

Katherine Jackson is just one of the family's members who has backed a one-night tribute planned for October 8 in Cardiff, Wales. But that tribute has caused some fans to cry foul over the singers who were invited, the charities benefiting from ticket sales and its timing during Murray's trial.

To be fair - it is an Eddie Murphy video featuring MJ - so the creative direction rests on Eddie. And you know the record company wasn't going to be shelling out $$$$$ for an Eddie clip.

That said it's not a fave.

Did you think Whatsupwithyou was inspired visually by I Wish U heaven?

It seems to have a lot of those elements, just in a Disney Channel sense.

Doctor's trial may avoid Michael Jackson's past

(Reuters) - Michael Jackson's former doctor faces a tough challenge clearing himself of involuntary manslaughter charges in the pop star's death as his trial, which promises to avoid many dark aspects of Jackson's life, begins with jury selection due this week.

While it is Dr. Conrad Murray, who will be on trial when attorneys are expected to start selecting a panel on Thursday, the "Thriller" singer's infamy will loom large over the proceedings.

Jackson was one of the world's most recognizable singers, dubbed the King of Pop, when he died in June 2009, at age 50. He also was known to have battled an addiction to painkillers, and Murray's attorneys had hoped to present evidence of his past drug use at the trial.

But in an obstacle for the defense, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor barred testimony from a half-dozen doctors whom Murray's attorneys had indicated in court papers would portray Jackson as drug-dependent.

"The deck is, for various reasons, stacked against the defense here," said Stan Goldman, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

Jackson stopped breathing at his Los Angeles mansion on June 25, 2009, in what authorities say was an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and various sedatives.

Murray, who pleaded not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter, has admitted giving Jackson propofol, a drug normally used for surgery, as a sleep aid.

During a series of court hearings earlier this year defense attorneys suggested that when Murray was out of the room, Jackson could have given himself a large, fatal dose of the drug, possibly by swallowing it.

Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

FINDING A JURY

As for choosing an impartial jury, legal experts say it will be impossible to find anyone who knows nothing of Jackson. Some will adore him, while others will abhor him. So attorneys will have to work to find the most unbiased jury possible under the circumstances.

"It's going to be like a Ouija board, it's going to be guess work," Goldman said.

Murray's defense team has filed a last minute appeal demanding that the jury be sequestered and asking for a halt to proceedings pending a ruling.

But Pastor said on Tuesday that jury selection would go ahead as planned "absent a mandate from the court of appeal staying proceedings."

Once a jury is selected, opening arguments are expected to begin the last week of September.

Jackson's family has faithfully attended all the court hearings in the case, with his mother, Katherine, 81, often sitting with his father, Joseph, 83.

The King of Pop's supporters also will be on hand, and if earlier hearings are any indication they will wear black as a sign of mourning over their fallen idol. At earlier court hearings, some fans hired a plane to fly a banner over the courthouse that read "Change charges to murder."

"If the jurors walk through, on the way to the courthouse, a massive amount of fans who are declaring the guilt of the defendant in the case, I find it hard to believe it won't have some impact," Goldman said.

But some trial watchers say the circus atmosphere that is expected outside the courthouse may, in fact, never materialize. Indeed, Jackson's fans failed to jam the streets of downtown Los Angeles during his 2009 memorial, as had been widely expected.

Laurie Levenson, a colleague of Goldman's at Loyola Law School, said she does not believe the proceedings will become anywhere near the public and media frenzy that accompanied the 1995 murder trial and acquittal of O.J. Simpson.

For one, the Grenada-born Murray is not a celebrity, just a doctor with patients in Nevada and Texas.

"We have a 'trial of the century' about every six months here in Los Angeles," Levenson said wryly.

Kurt Cobain and MJ - the oral history of grunge.

BRUCE PAVITT (Sub Pop Records cofounder) I spent some time with Kurt [Cobain] backstage after Nirvana's 'Saturday Night Live' show. That was a real good heart-to-heart rap session. He talked about signing autographs for some young kids, and I think that made him feel really good. He was a sensitive guy who really liked kids and animals. I remember the first time I visited his apartment, he had like three different cages of gerbils. I got the impression he liked animals more than a lot of people.

He talked about maybe starting a petting zoo. He was just kind of musing. The energy I was getting was kind of magical: I can pretty muchdo anything I want. I'd like to start a petting zoo.

That week, Nirvana had knocked Michael Jackson off the charts. In a lot of ways, Kurt reminded me of Michael Jackson. Think about it: Neverland ... having a passion for kids and animals. I found it somewhat ironic. If I'd heard those same words coming out of Michael Jackson, I wouldn't have been surprised at all.

If you listen to the beginning of the song, it samples Prince's scream from the end of Thieves In The Temple

It signified how the video was going to turn out:lol:

I remember thinking What's Up With U reminded me of Shake Your Body Down To The Ground, and maybe a little bit of Alphabet Street. Never knew there was a sample.

If David Gest's comment was about weed, I'm not losing sleep, he could have said worse.....

And what's this about LA streets not being packed during MJ's memorial? Wasn't it? There were tributes all over the world that day, even here.

Or did she just tell the truth about her.....erm...contrast from the past and from other memberes in the family.

Also, is the cosmetic surgeon for the family the same person? He should be sued!

Hey, don't even hint at that. Michael did have vitiligo. Who cares if Latoya bleached her skin. And if she did, who really cares? Does it matter? It's really no different from people going outside in the sun all day to get darker or going to tanning salons.

She's always been light skinned.
