【ハリウッドより愛をこめて】マイケル・ジャクソン2周忌を悼んで…

the famous red and black leather jacket that Michael Jackson wore in his music video "Thriller" was bought by an Austin, Texas business man for $1.8 million!!! When Milton Verret was asked what he was going to do with his newly acquired MJ jacket, he told the press that he plans on sending the jacket on tour to help raise funds for children’s charities. All I have to say about that is..Mr. Verret, Michael would have been VERY PROUD! MJ WAS, after all, always thinking about the children and raising money for them, wasn’t he???
Also Michael Jackson’s Las Vegas estate, a place where the popstar spent many of his latter years, was open to the public for FOUR hours on the day of his death. This was the first time for fans to ever have the opportunity to be able to walk around the home.

Something else that was quite interesting... the man that dominated the pop charts for many years, was once more on the dance charts with his NEW SINGLE "Hollywood Tonight" jumped into the TOP TEN of the dance charts last week as well! It held on to the #8 position last week and continues to stay in the TOP TEN.
Meanwhile, the trial dealing with Michael Jackson’s death will finally be starting in September. I am sure for the Jackson family and Michael Jackson fans worldwide it couldn’t come sooner. Michael Jackson, we miss you. And hope that you are looking down on us and smiling.
