The cardiologist who was with Michael Jackson when he died in L.A. last year is now accused of acting “unlawfully and without malice” in bringing about his death.

Bring Back The Jackson 3!
When I was watching the emotional speech of Michael Jackson’s kids at the Grammys, I noticed that they were accompanied by three familiar good-looking dudes.
Three seconds later, I was as giddy as a love-struck teenager. “Omigod, it’s 3T!” I squealed to myself. I worshiped this trio in the ’90s, when they were introduced to the world as Michael Jackson’s nephews who wanted a shot at the music industry. Although their singing was a bit nasally, their hit “Anything” captured the hearts of teenagers worldwide. Never mind the nepotism.
Taj, Taryll, and TJ Jackson’s careers never quite made it past the ’90s, with the imminent death of the boy band mania. The past few years, fans such as myself had to settle for the boys’ personal accounts on Youtube and Myspace, where we would stroll down memory lane with their videos and music.
They tried to make a comeback in 2004 with their independent album, Identity, but it proved unsuccessful. If you browse through their Myspace pages, you’ll see that the boys are now busy doing their own things, from film to music.
I’m recently hooked on Taj Jackson’s “I Think Of You” track, where you’ll see how his vocal range has improved since the mid-90s 3T mania.

I was disappointed when Lionel Richie didn’t have time to introduce them at the Grammys. When Paris and Prince Jackson walked in, the three boys were simply referred to as “their cousins.” Ouch.
With all my love and respect for the late King of Pop, there’s no perfect time for a 3T comeback than 2010. Where’s nepotism now that you need it?
MJ’s Kids Spread Love
One of the highlights of last weekend’s Grammy Awards was the Lifetime Achievement Award for the late Michael Jackson. Accepting the award are MJ’s two eldest kids, Prince and Paris, who made their first appearance since the late King of Pop’s memorial service last year.
“We’re proud to be here to accept this award on behalf of our father, Michael Jackson,” said Prince, trying to hold it together. “First we’d like to thank God for watching over us for these past seven months and our Grandma and Grandpa for their love and support. We’d also like to thank the fans. Our father loved you so much since you were always there for him.”
“Through all his songs, [our father’s] message was simple: love,” said Prince Michael, 12. “We will continue to spread his message and help the world.” He and his sister Paris, 11, were surrounded by their cousins (remember 3T?) as they gave their speech onstage.
“Daddy was supposed to be here. Daddy was gonna perform but he couldn’t perform last year,” said a teary-eyed Paris to an emotional audience. “Thank you, we love you Daddy.”
Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz’s Collaboration
A new MJ song has leaked on the Internet. “Another Day” is a collaborative track with rocker Lenny Kravitz.
According to Daily Record, Lenny admitted to working with the King of Pop before he tragically passed away last year. “I got to work with Michael on a track that has not been released and it was the most amazing experience I’ve had in the studio,” he said.
While Sony BMG is busy taking down uploads of the clip, fans are busy spreading the song online. Listen to it here before copyright laws take it down:

Stevie Wonder Is A Man’s Man
Men have this thing about crying where we don’t think we should do it. There are definitely times when you shouldn’t cry, for example, when you get slapped by a woman or when your friends force you to take another shot of tequila. However, there are times when you should definitely cry and these include:
- Beginning of Bambi
- Your team loses the Superbowl
- She turns out to be a man
- You are singing a tribute song to your dear friend on national television
Stevie Wonder followed the fourth point. At the Rock’n’Roll 25th Hall of Fame anniversary concert he performed The Way You Make Me Feel with John Legend and around 1:37 into the clip breaks down. He stops playing and singing and just puts his face into his hands while the music keeps going.
Like a true man he bounces back strong to finish the performance to a standing ovation. Stevie, we salute you buddy.
