Heavy D remembers Michael Jackson

July 3rd, 2009 by ksfm

You remember Heavy D, don’t you. Big time 90’s rapper who exuded class and style for a big man…he was the blue print for Biggie in my opinion.

Here he is explaining how he hooked up with Michael Jackson for the song “Jam”

By the way, in case you don’t know, here’s the “Jam” video. Heavy D, Kris Kross, and Micheal Jordan.

Vintage Mike!! R.I.P.

THE MJ TOUR THAT NEVER WAS!

July 3rd, 2009 by ksfm

This is released footage of MJ doing dress rehearsals for his upcoming “comeback tour” in LA at the Staples Center. This footage was done two days before his death.

Looks good to me. Even not doing any of the dance moves, he still put it down more than Britney and Lady Gaga combined.

If AEG, the company producing the tour, is smart, they will take their over 100 hours of footage, make it into a documentary, and put it in theaters or straight to DVD. It will sell 25 million copies easy.

Jackson Family Decides on Burial Grounds

July 1st, 2009 by ksfm

 

 

Michael Jackson’s family is closing in on where, exactly, the superstar will be resting in peace.

E! News has exclusively learned that the King of Pop’s body is currently being held at the Hollywood Hills location of Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuaries, where it is expected to ultimately be interred.

While a source told E! News that, as of this morning, Jackson’s body was “in the freezer” at the Forest Lawn mortuary, no official decision has yet been made on his burial. While the location is believed to be the most feasible for the family, the Jacksons are still weighing their options on potential sites.

Just yesterday, the Jackson family said no final decisions had been made on where or when a memorial would be held for the King of Pop, though the evidence at the time was mounting for at least one event to take place at Neverland Ranch. The family has since denied any such plans.

“Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland,” the family said in a statement. “Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”

A Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman has confirmed that the Jackson family met with LAPD and California Highway Patrol representatives Tuesday afternoon to discuss possible funeral scenarios.

The involvement of the LAPD would be needed to handle the inevitable crush of mourners at a public memorial, or to augment the CHP as Jackson’s body is transported.

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department told E! News the agency met with CHP officials to figure out what to do about any Neverland events.

Neighbors of the rural ranch are already fearing miles-long traffic jams in the quiet community in the hills above Santa Barbara. Fans have begun descending on the area, transforming the site into something of a Graceland West—an idea pushed by Thomas Barrack, the billionaire real estate man who helped Jackson save his beloved ranch from a potential bank sale.

The Jackson family itself was floating the idea of holding a public ceremony at L.A.’s Staples Center, per the Los Angeles Times, with a procession from there to Neverland Ranch for a private funeral for friends, family and music industry heavies.

However, Michael Roth, a spokesman for AEG, which owns the venue, told E! News this morning that the arena has not yet been booked for any Jackson-related event.

“Nothing is scheduled at Staples at this time,” he said.

The family has not announced a timetable for any memorial, though sources have suggested it could occur Friday.

How Michael Jackson helped start the Patriots dynasty

MJ helped keep the Patriots in New England

MJ helped keep the Patriots in New England

Without Adam Vinateri, the New England Patriots wouldn’t have won three Super Bowl titles. Without Tom Brady Adam Vinateri wouldn’t have been in a position to give the Patriots those titles. Without Bill Belichick, Tom Brady’s quarterbacking wouldn’t have set-up Adam Vinateri to hit the kicks to win those titles. And without Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick wouldn’t have been in New England to help both Brady and Vinateiri win those titles. And without Michael Jackson (yes, that Michael Jackson), Bob Kraft wouldn’t have bought the New England Patriots and the dynasty that was may never have been.

As Forbes described in a 2005 article, Michael Jackon’s 1984 Victory tour was directly responsible for Kraft purchasing Foxboro Stadium in 1988, a transaction that eventually led to him being able to buy the team in 1994.

In 1988 Kraft and a partner put up $25 million to buy the Foxboro stadium from the Sullivan family, besting a $16 million offer from the Pats’ owner, Kiam. (Kraft would buy out his 50-50 partner for a small premium five years later.) [Former Patriots owner, and current Foxboro Stadium owner] Charles Sullivan had used the stadium as collateral to fund [Michael Jackson's] Victory Tour back in 1984. Overleveraged, Sullivan went bankrupt and was forced to sell the arena. To this day Kraft’s collection of photos and mementos includes a poster from the ill-fated tour.

Basically, Sullivan got in over his head funding Michael Jackson’s Victory tour (something that those concert organizers in London can commiserate with now) and was forced to sell the stadium because of the bad investment, a move which furthered Bob Kraft’s quest to own his hometown Patriots. (Because Kraft owned the stadium, the team couldn’t be sold without his approval. When new owner Victor Kiam wanted to sell to a St. Louis businessman intent on re-selling the team or moving it, Kraft stepped in and bid 50 percent more, buying the Patriots for $172 million in 1994.

It was a transaction that began a run toward three Super Bowls, a perfect regular season and the career of one of the greatest coaches and quarterbacks that the league has ever seen. And to think, it was all set in motion by the guy with the glove moonwalking across the stage. “Wanna’ Be Startin’ Somethin’” indeed.

Transformers 2 — Racist Autobots?

June 25th, 2009 by ksfm

LOS ANGELES - Harmless comic characters or racist robots?

The buzz over the summer blockbuster “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” only grew Wednesday as some said two jive-talking Chevy characters were racial caricatures.

Skids and Mudflap, twin robots disguised as compact hatchbacks, constantly brawl and bicker in rap-inspired street slang. They’re forced to acknowledge that they can’t read. One has a gold tooth.

As good guys, they fight alongside the Autobots and are intended to provide comic relief. But their traits raise the specter of stereotypes most notably seen when Jar Jar Binks, the clumsy, broken-English speaking alien from “Star Wars: Episode IThe Phantom Menace,” was criticized as a caricature.

“It’s one thing when robot cars are racial stereotypes,” he said, “but the movie also had a bucktoothed black guy who is briefly in one scene who’s also a stereotype.”

“They’re like the fools,” said 18-year-old Nicholas Govede, also of New York City. “The comic relief in a degrading way.”

“They were hilarious,” Jason said. “Every movie has their standout character, and I think they were the ones for this movie.”

That was the aim, director Michael Bay said in an interview.

“It’s done in fun,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s stereotypes — they are robots, by the way. These are the voice actors. This is kind of the direction they were taking the characters and we went with it.”

Actor Reno Wilson, who is black, voices Mudflap. Tom Kenny, the white actor behind SpongeBob SquarePants, voices Skids.

Wilson said Wednesday that he never imagined viewers might consider the twins to be racial caricatures. When he took the role, he was told that the alien robots learned about human culture through the Web and that the twins were “wannabe gangster types.”

“It’s an alien who uploaded information from the Internet and put together the conglomeration and formed this cadence, way of speaking and body language that was accumulated over X amount of years of information and that’s what came out,” the 40-year-old actor said. “If he had uploaded country music, he would have come out like that.”

It’s not fair to assume the characters are black, he said.

“It could easily be a Transformer that uploaded Kevin Federline data,” Wilson said. “They were just like posers to me.”

Kenny did not respond to an interview request Wednesday.

“I purely did it for kids,” the director said. “Young kids love these robots, because it makes it more accessible to them.”

The Greatest B-Ball shot…EVER!

June 24th, 2009 by ksfm

This incredible three-quarter court flip shot by Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School’s Aaron Shutway needs to be seen to be believed … and even then I’m sure angry, bitter people will cry that the ball is computer generated. It sure looks legit. But have a look and decide for yourself.

Obama’s So Fly

June 18th, 2009 by ksfm

This is an instant YouTube sensation. President Obama killed a fly during an interview the old-fashioned way, with his hands. No Secret service needed. It’s actually kinda funny. The Big O is showing his down-to-earth persona.

The cold piece is that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has denounced the killing of the fly…and they are serious!  WHAT?

Ok PETA put your money where your mouth is and try to dump a can of paint, or throw some water, or throw a pie at Obama. You’ll get crushed to the ground on sight.

Better yet, PETA why are you after politicians and celebrities anyway? I’m not impressed. Send a message by clowning the common man and woman. Trying to embarrass Beyonce? That’s nothing! Dump paint on all the pimps wearing fur coats at the Players Ball…I’ll be impressd.
