Michael Jackson is back in the picture. He is simply amazing. I am a big fan, but holy hell I followed the entire trial and there is no way he should be able to adopt kids. I realize he already has children, but c'mon...
Now, he's got talent. There are few who really got the gift and he's one of them.
On March 5, the KOP announced his sold out world tour of 30 concerts from July to September.
I encourage all of you to chekout his unforgettable music vids like Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean and much much more on Youtube. If you don't have time, remember to do it later... you won't regret it. :D

I have never seen a volcano erupt and I never want to...
Recent seismic activity has geologists concerned about the eruption of Mount RE-DOUBT, an old volcano in South Alaska. Last Monday, signs of unrest have occurred at the volcano, in the form of shallow earthquakes. The Alaska Volcano Observatory has declared the volcano is on “watch status.” As activity increases, the potential of an eruption is greater. So far, volcanic-ash emissions have been seen, but there is no panic yet. However, if red ash is seen, then volcanic eruption is imminent and its damage could be devastating.
Here are some vids of volcanic eruptions and the devestation they cause nt only by lava and other emissions, but thick layers of ash:

Coachella anyone??
Yes PLEASE!
April 17-19, a fun-filled-three-day extravaganza will take place at the fairgounds in Indo, where the annual Coachella music festival will be held.
If you haven't gone, you should. Mark your calendars and go ahead and buy your tickets. if you can afford the three-day pass go for it, otherwise it's $99 for a day pass.
I can only afford to go one day this year, but I can't wait. It's lots of fun and the weather should be great by that time. Checkout www.coachella.com for more info. Otherwise, look at some of the acts that have performed in the past and look at the line-up for this year. I really want to go on Sunday to see Lupe Fiasco. But, there are many other bands that perform each day of the festival, much more than a handful.
If you have gone, tell me when you did and what you liked or didn't like. Checkout these youtube vids to see what the fuss is all about.

"You're my favorite rich negro man..."
Okay so I do not mean to be a thorn in anyone's side here, but I was watching Oprah the other day when I was at the gym and couldn't believe my ears!
Oprah had an exclusive interview with Michelle Obama in Washington with Gayle. Michelle gave them a tour of the family's quarters and her daughters' new swing set, and she talked about how everything has to be "fort-friendly" for the girls to play. It really sounded great. In this months edition of O magazine, which features a great shot of Michelle and Oprah, she opens up about living in the White House and how she is re-doing the White House image. It sounded like a great interview, but Oprah's comments to Tyler Perry are what later disturbed me.
I do not watch Oprah often, but when Tyler Perry appeared as a guest on the show after talk of Michelle, I was offended.
First of all, when Perry walked on set he looked great. Oprah introduced him as a media mogul to the audience and then said, "You're my favorite rich negro man..." and Perry returned the compliment to Oprah saying: "You're my favorite rich negro woman." I was surprised at this comment, which I can laugh off, but there's more.
The panel, which included four others talked about how successful Perry's latest movie "Madea Goes to Jail" has been in the past couple of weeks and how many were worried of its success because of the release of the Jonas Brothers 3D concert movie. But fans didn't come out in droves to theatres as much as critics had anticipated. Instead, people saw the famous "Madea."
After talk of his ranking numero uno two weekends in a row, Perry was very humble and smiling, said he didn't read reviews. He was just wanted to make a movie to uplift people's spirits amidst all the pain afflicting our country right now.
But, then Oprah says, "I have to admit, I haven't seen it." When Gayle and I were in Chicago one day, she insisted we see it, but to get the full effect had to see a late showing in the "hood." Then Oprah says, "You white people wouldn't understand."
This pisses me off. Wasn't one of the single most significant factors of Obama becoming President supopsed to erase that color line and really bring everyone together?? Like my frustration in a past post, it's like more and more people are becoming more aware of the color line. People are even more outspoken now. I mean negro? And 'you white people?' I mean...what the hell?
If you have an opposing opinion, please post. Don't just watch.

"I think you're taking some time off tonight..." Letterman interviews Joaquin Phoenix 2-11-2009
I still cannot believe this interview.
Joaquin Phoenix is an awesome actor to me and handsome... (without the beard ofcourse) But, c'mon he forgot his co-stars names for calling out loud! I don't care who you are, show a little courtesy... not-to-mention when you go for an interview, don't chew gum--let alone stick it to the side of the host's desk.
I know Joaquin knows rules of propriety as many interviews he's done, he knows to be on rather 'good behavior' when you're on camera. This is the first time I have seen him act -- not normal.
He is a terrific actor--from Walk the Line to Gladiator-- marvelous movies.
But, sadly he is going to quit acting and pursue Hip-Hop.
Yes, I said it--Hip-Hop.
Evidently, he likes to beatbox and if you search for some more vids of him, you can vote for yourself whether or not he's good...or should just stick to acting. Ben Stiller did a funny impersonation of him at the Oscars when he introduced 'Best Cinematography' with Natalie Portman, but the clip above is the real thing and nothing is funnier.
It's obvious he is on something. It's a sad thing to see, whether its coke or something else. There's no nasal drip, so maybe he's just high or maybe heroine. Hate to say it, but I would rather him be on a 'weed high' than heroine.
His brother, River overdosed outside the Viper Room in '93 at age 22-ish (if I remember correctly) and Joaquin was with him. They were in a club with friends, including Christina Applegate and Samantha Mathis.
River had never been seen as a druggie, but months earlier admitted to paparizzi that "he wasn't going to lie anymore." It was reported that River went to do drugs with friends in the bathroom and when he left the club with Joaquin and everyone, collapsed outside. He died instantly and there was no reviving him.
Sad story.
I hope Joaquin is not following in his footsteps. I think we all have 'weird moments' but this interview is a little more. Am I reading too much into this or has been a little 'off the reservation' lately?
Tell me what you think.
Letterman: "So are you really not going to act anymore?"
Phoenix: "No."
Letterman: "Why is that?"
Phoenix: "I don't know."
ha ha ha Dara: " Are you coked out or something? What is your deal????"
