Michael Jackson Reactions on Larry King Live

Of all the things I was fortunate to see after the passing of M.J. I happened to have missed this Larry King Live episode. For anyone else that had missed this here is the episode where Michael Jackson's friends pour out their emotions over the loss of their friend.



Songs stuck in my brain-- "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra



I had this song in my brain a few days ago and I found a video of Nancy Sinatra singing it. Yes that makes her Frank Sinatra's daughter.
She looks really pretty in this video. Most recently this song was featured in Kill Bill and that's how I remember it although I did download the song for my playlist.

Brad Pitt speaking on some serious shit on Bill Maher

I really love watching Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. Someday I hope to finally gain enough status to be on the show, being that you can only be on the show if your a somebody that Bill Maher would know. I mean no pun or jokes intended but it's still a show. Brad Pitt stopped by Bill Maher's show and was upfront on his stances as an American. He made very good points and I did not know he was a great joint roller. Good to know. Aside from that the best part is when Bill Maher says that most American's view things in both of their perspectives but are closeted about it. Which I honestly believe is true. I believe in many of the things Bill Maher discusses although not all but the majority of them.

M.J. THIS IS IT TOUR CONCERT TICKETS


before he passed away, M.J. had created special 3D (lanticular processing) tickets that featured animation, morphing or a combo of these special effects for his ticket holding fans. These "oversized" tickets were only given to those who purchased tickets to his final set of concerts at the 02 Arena in London, England. They were inspired and designed by Michael Jackson and his hopes were that those that purchased these tickets for his final event were going to keep them as a momento of there special night together. If anyone says he didn't give a shit about his fans they are so full of it. Most artists only spend the extra cash for these tickets for the backstage passes given out to the staff, but M.J. made it so that his fans could feel that they were coming into a once in a lifetime event. Which in actuality was true, as we all know he passed and now those that got the chance are able to keep these momentos.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S EXGIRLFRIEND STEPHANIE MILLS TALKS

From Michael Jackson concert tickets to us finally hearing from M.J.'s special chocolate ex-girl oh man I love this post. For once their is finally audio of Stephanie Mills opening up about her relationship with Michael Jackson. They had dated back in the day before he came out with Thriller and although she does admit they didn't get to do the do they did chill a lot and she slept over his house many times. Check the audio:

(shouts to the Floacist for posting this on youtube and his site)

In case you don't know who Stephanie Mills (which you do but you know how it is) here is one of my fave songs, "Never Knew Love like this Before"

THAT 70'S FINAL EPISODE and THE FINAL GOODBYE

I know you guys watch this show religiously because its on syndication and I do AANNNND I'm pretty much a self professed tv whore. I love television, film and proving people wrong. Anyways what my title is talking about is That 70's Show, one of the last well written comedic sitcoms of our time. I think the show was mainly cool because it offered nostalgia of a time, it featured young actors with great chemistry and they FINALLY made weed official tissue. 2006 was a busy year for me, its when I started soul searching so I missed the final episodes of That 70's Show but I do want to admit I remember watching it from the beginning even watching That 80's Show. So I finally found the final episode and I wanted to add it to my blog as is custom of me finding shit people are always looking for. For the record: I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THIS AND I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE. P.S. The writers did a great ending for this show. I want to mention Carsey-Werner LLC, I have no idea why but I will.





Here's some extra stuff The Final Good Bye of the cast episode:


As you can see I really digged this show and the fact that it stayed true to an era I was always intrigued by. Here is one song that was featured in the pilot and the final episode (and the ending credits of the Final Goodbye) that the lyrics stay in my brain all the fuckin time... its by Todd Rundgren and its called "Hello its Me"


Yes the guy does have some butterfly effect on his face, but back in the days it was always about being a spectacle and being entertaining. I really am digging this song.

MICHAEL JACKSON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION




There's going to be a big celebration on MJ's 51st Birthday here in New York City. I'm definitely going to make it a point to go there. It is going to be held at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square and will be DJ'ed by Mark Ronson. I'm going to buy me a ticket and hopefully I can get someone to come with. If I can't then screw everyone I'm going to go by myself and hopefully I'll bump into someone I know there. Its going to be amazing and I hope they keep the tradition up every year on August 29th. Because if they don't, I sure will. By the by you can also purchase your tickets online or at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. Its only 25 bucks just so you know.

MJ AND EDDIE MURPHY (WHEN HE WAS SINGING!)

In my internet travels I found this video from 1992, back when Eddie Murphy had a record deal and MJ hooked him up by being in the song. By the way I also found out that Rockwell (who is related to Berry Gordy and changed his name) really did use MJ for his song. Much to VH1's Pop Up Video's chagrin. I think its kind of funny. I also found an old clip of MJ accepting an award with Eddie Murphy, no not the Arsenio Hall one, even though I remember watching that as a kid. My sister and I used to love Arsenio Hall.

THE THRILLER EPK (electronic press kit)



I found this on MichaelJackson.com and damn what I wouldn't have given to at least give this guy the interview that WAS ALWAYS supposed to happen and really talk about the shit that everyone needed to know about him. Unlike Bashir's bullshit ass documentary that basically replicated the Oprah one from back in the day and Bashir's constant need to keep talking about the hyperbaric chamber and shit that was so far off.
