Watch We Are The World 2010 Video

Last night during the Olympic Game Opening Ceremonies we had the opportunity to see the world premier of the new "We Are The World."

A multi-national broadcast also took place at 2:00 in over 50 countries on Saturday.

The video is well done, and young pop sensation Justin Bieber had the task of starting things off by singing the first line. Other stars joined in on queue and the end result was impressive.

More than eighty-five artists lent their talent to the three-minute video including Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Scherzinger, Sugarland, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and Fergie. Josh Groban, LL Cool J, Nick Jonas, Lil Wayne, actor Jeff Bridges, bad guy Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and Haitian-American singer Wyclef Jean participated.

The video is introduced by Jamie Foxx who told viewers they can go to World25.com to purchase the iPhone version and to donate to the Haiti releif effort.

Jackson Kids To Sing At Grammy's?

There is a rumor starting to circulate that Michael Jackson's kids may make not only an appearance, but perform at this weekend Grammy Awards.

Things started to heat up when American Idol's Ryan Seacrest posted to his Twitter page that MJ's kids may participate.

Seacrest said on Wednesday:

"Just talked to the executive producer of the Grammys... hearing MJ's kids may sing."


Were pretty sure he would not have said anything unless there was at least a remote chance the children would appear.

There have been rumors before about the kids making an album and/or appearing on a Jackson Family bio or televised special.

More as news comes our way…

Jackson's Dr. Murray To Be Charged With Manslaughter

Word has leaked out that Michael Jackson's personal physician will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks.

A law enforcement employee told a reporter that Dr. Conrad Murray could be arrested as soon as next Wednesday, and that police are going to serve one more search warrant to a Los Angeles pharmacy.

The LAPD is in talks with investigators about whether they will give Murray the choice of surrendering in Los Angeles, or be arrested in Houston, where he is currently living.

Murray is suspected of facilitating Jackson's death by using the intravenous anesthetic propofol to help him sleep just hours before he died.

Michael Jackson Dead Of Heart Attack At Age 50 - Last Photo

Pop star Michael Jackson has died. He was 50 years old.

The singer was found unresponsive at his home in California Thursday afternoon. He was rushed to the UCLA medical center but could not be revived. A Los Angeles Fire Department source told reporters that Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when rescue units arrived on scene.

Aides told a doctor that Jackson collapsed after receiving a shot of the drug Demerol. His breathing grew weaker and weaker and suffered a heart attack. Police have opened an investigation into the arrest but stress they do not suspect criminal activity.

His mother, sister Janet Jackson, and other family members rushed to the hospital. This sad news comes the same day we learn that actress Farrah Fawcett has passed away.

Michael was best known for his signature moon walk, thriller video and album, the smash hit song Billy Jean, massive plastic surgery, and his encounters with law enforcement for suspected child molestation at his now famous Neverland Ranch.

Jackson was planning to appear in a sold-out series of concerts in London next month that would have run until March. Promoters of the concerts had recently said that the singer had passed a physical examination to remove any concerns about his health.

Michael is survived by his three younger children, Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II.

Britney Spears To Headline MTV Video Music Awards

On again, off again. Maybe she will, maybe she won't.

Even after her dreadful appearance on the MTV Video Music Awards last year, MTV has made it official - Britney Spears will headline the Award show again this year.

But there will be no singing and dancing for Britney. Instead, executives have confirmed Brit's performance will be something "fun and unexpected" - no more details were given.

Spears performance last year embarrassed the network, and herself, as the troubled singer tried to make a comeback with her "Gimme More" song and dance routine. The reviews and press were brutal, criticizing MTV for allowing the performance to go on at all.

But, over the last few months, Spears seems to have cleaned herself up and is back on her game. Her dad is still in control of her money and other personal affairs by playing the role of legal conservator, but the judge seems to be loosening the rope around the pop icon.

MTV also alluded to the possibility of another appearance by an aging and troubled singer - Michael Jackson. Now, we're no Hollywood writers, but if you combined Britney Spears and Michael Jackson in a humorous skit where they openly lampooned themselves, recognizing the media saturation of their lives, it could be pretty funny.
