This news likely comes as a surprise to no one, except perhaps whatever poor souls lined up early to get tickets to this “limited run” back when Sony was still lying and saying it would only be in theaters for a few days.

Sure, the “limited time” tactic created a buzz, but Continue reading »

Michael Jackson This is It: Is 3D Movie Next?

Published October 28th, 2009 by Karen

Early reviews of the concert film/documentary Michael Jackson: This Is It have been positively glowing—but that is no surprise since the opening night audiences were packed with Jackson devotees and mourners.

Plus, under the circumstances, giving the film a negative review would be akin to booing at a funeral.

However, regardless of your feelings toward Jackson, his personal controversies or even his music, this actually sounds like an entertaining film and we can prove it with three words: giant mechanical spider. Continue reading »

Dancing with the Stars Michael Jackson Tribute

Tuesday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars is set to feature an hour-long tribute to dance/pop icon Michael Jackson.

(WATCH: American Idol Michael Jackson Tribute Videos by Adam Lambert, Kris Allen)

The show will reportedly “fuse classic ballroom and Latin styles” of dance in recognition of various eras of Jackson’s career, according to an AP report.

Hopefully, the show won’t reenact the “Thriller” video with ballroom dancing zombies…On second thought, that might be a fittingly strange tribute to the late pop star.

While Jackson was alive, American Idol dedicated a night of performances to his songs. Although that show hasn’t started its new season yet, it seems likely that there will be another Jackson tribute in the works when it resumes.

Will the MJ news ever end?
