The digital camera I purchased from a discount bargain store was of a local company
The digital camera I purchased from a discount bargain store was of a local company. How foolish I was as I couldnt differentiate between a digital camera and grocery items. Never ever purchase a digital camera from such stores. But I had purchased the digital camera so I had to use it.
What kind of music was the King of Pop dreaming up before he died? Read on for the dish.
The late star was at work on a pop album and classical, instrumental pieces, says Billboard.com. On the pop album, he was collaborating with songwriter Claude Kelly and R&B star Akon, who says Michael was inspired by popular demand for tickets to his shows.
"He said, ‘My fans are still there. They still love me. They’re alive,’" Akon says. "His kids are like his first priority, and they had never seen him perform live. He was trying to create the most incredible show for his kids."
Michael Jackson was busy putting on the final touches for his 50-date London concerts at the O2 Arena when he unexpectedly died. Now, ET’s Thea Andrews is with the men behind the massive production to reveal what could have been Michael’s most incredible concert tour yet!
A show filled with music, dance, stunts and pyrotechnics, Michael’s "This is It" concert was being directed by Kenny Ortega, the man who designed Michael’s "Dangerous" tour, choreographed ‘Dirty Dancing’ and also brought "High School Musical" to the world. Kenny says that Michael promised "the concert of a lifetime" and was prepared to deliver.
"We [had] some fun things planned," he says, referring to gigantic spiders, 20-foot puppets, a flaming bed, a pole dancing aerialist, a 3D movie and plenty more magic. "It’s complex in scale and it’s as big as anything I’ve ever done or attempted to do for an arena production."
The time, date and ticket-availability info for Michael Jackson’s public memorial have been announced.
The farewell service for Jackson will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Staples Center. Eleven thousand tickets will be made available to the general public free of charge.
The program will also be simulcast at Los Angeles’ nearby Nokia Theatre.

ET is looking back at the life of the King of Pop Michael Jackson.
In these photos, Michael is seen with loved ones at his grandmother’s funeral in 1990. The photos were taken at the Jackson family burial plot at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Matt Fiddes, a former bodyguard of Michael Jackson, is opening up in new video footage about what he experienced when he worked with the King of Pop, and hints that Michael may have been in a relationship with a woman.
Fiddes speaks in the video at length about things he witnessed with Jackson associate and renowned paranormalist Uri Geller. "Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room and whisked it away, and Uri would scream intensely at Michael to stop doing this," Fiddes says.
Fiddes tells the interviewer that one morning "[Michael] was hard to wake." "We were extremely concerned," Fiddes says, continuing, "and I can remember it clearly now, Michael was there and Uri was shaking him saying, ‘Michael, have you taken something?’ and he would come round and just say it was jet lag."

Michael Jackson’s ex-wife will be represented by a lawyer at a Monday hearing to determine custody of her children with Jackson.
There is no word on whether Rowe will seek custody of Jackson’s two older children, Michael "Prince" and Paris-Michael, both of whom she gave birth to, but ET can confirm that her lawyer, Eric George, will represent her interests at this coming Monday’s custody hearing.
A 2002 will for the King of Pop leaves custody of his children, including 7-year-old Prince Michael "Blanket" (who was delivered via surrogate) to his mother, Katherine Jackson, with Diana Ross as a back-up if Katherine was unable to care for the children. All three children are currently in Katherine’s care.
