The family was informed of this tragic situation. Some of the family members were at the hospital while others were on route at the time of Michael’s death. The call for help came in at around 12:21 pm and Michael was then sent to the UCLA Medical Center. The entrance to the emergency room was blocked off by security and not even nurses were permitted to enter.

Due to federal privacy laws, no specifics on this terrible occurrence have been revealed. Michael is leaving behind three children namely Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.

Michael was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984 and is known to be one of the most influential people to ever walk the face of the Earth.  He was a double-inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame as well. He was a hard working man known for his unique music videos, touching music and untouchable talent.  Jackson earned 13 Grammy Awards and 13 number one singles.

It’s unbelievable how much he has paved the way for so many artists. Artists who say he’s influenced them include Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Usher, R. Kelly and many, many more. I’m sure they are all, like many of us, devastated by this news.

This is so tragic. Where would music be without him? I can hardly bring myself to believe that this is happening. He was such an inspiration and for that I thank him. I thank him for giving people the drive they needed to move forward with their own careers. Someone who’s songs can uplift you in times of need. Thank you for breaking down racial barriers. He has earned my eternal respect. Michael Jackson, you will be missed.

I would also like to pay my respects to legendary icon, Farrah Fawcett who has passed away from cancer today.

Katy Perry performed her new single, "Waking Up In Vegas".

Well, it’s nice to see Katy smiling again. What a difference an underwear bodysuit outfit makes.

Stop the presses, Katy Perry graced the public looking like well, like the rest of us. But what’s with the sorry face? Don’t tell me she’s uncomfortable walking around in a velour sweatsuit set? Would she look happier if she went out with one of her granny panties or "unique" looking outfits she finds at various vintage stores?

I like this Katy Perry "normal" look. It would have been better if she smiled though.

More pictures after the fold…

Don’t worry Katy, you still look cute. Especially with those ballet flats on

Ciara’s moves were amazing. Justin didn’t dance with her though. He performed behind the piano. It wasn’t as hot as Love Sex & Magic video but nevertheless, it was still a hot performance.

Justin’s opening segment where he did a song number about how he’s hosting for the 3rd time and knows his way around SNL.

Justin playing an Irish immigrant on a “Boat” skit.

In this skit, Justin played a gay William Turner. The famous role Orlando Bloom played on Pirates of the Carribean movies.

Here’s Justin doing the “Plastic Ville” skit. This was my favorite. Justin did a lot of song and dance number to the tunes of popular songs. He was really funny.

Justin also perfromed with musical guest Ciara. I’ll post that video on another post.

It’s Alright, It’s Ok by Ashley Tisdale came out a few a week ago or so but I didn’t rush into listening to it or watching the video. I’m not a fan, sorry. She’s a beautiful girl, don’t get me wrong but I already like Miley Cyrus, I don’t think my ears can handle any more nasal way of singing, heh. But I finally listened to Ashley’s single today and well, I wish I stuck to my guns and just didn’t even venture out there. What’s done is done though.

All I can say is that Ashley’s voice sounded too much of a scream or a shriek. I actually prefer Vanessa Hudgen’s sound. She happens to be Ashley’s co-star in the High School Musical phenomenon aka Zac Efron’s girlfriend. In summation, my ears are still ringing from listening to Ashley. No offense hun.

It’s Alright, It’s Ok is off of Ashley Tisdale’s upcoming album Guilty Pleasure that’s due out on June 16th.

Isn’t she cool? But I swear that bow hairstyle is so distracting. Oh well, love Lady Gaga, love her crazy and wacky personality. If you want to learn how to do her bow hairstyle, here’s a tutorial video I posted a few months ago.
