I am a big Michael Jackson fan and in my own simple way, I am blogging his memorial service to pay tribute and remember him
for his magic and the unmatched level of entertainment he has shared.
The image below is the program guide for Michael Jackson’s memorial service.
Below is the Michael Jackson memorial service:
Michael Jackson is leaving the stadium… This is so sad, we are going to miss you Michael Jackson, we love you.
Family Members speech, the immediate family is now giving their farewell speech. Paris Jackson was the last one to give a speech.
Andrew Gumbel (12.31pm) (8.31pm): Everything was quiet, “Michael we love you!” or “See you in heaven”.
Heal the World (12.29pm) was sang a lot of people.
Kenny Ortega (12.24pm): director of the 02 Centre concerts that Jackson never gave, introduces a sequence he says was prepared for those concerts — it’s We Are The World which was sang by a lot of personalities and celebrities.
Shaheen Jafargholi (12.18pm) sings a song for Michael, “Who’s Lovin’”.
Smokey Robinson (12.12pm): Jackson 5 singing ’s Who’s Loving You was first shown to reminisce the talent of 10-year old Michael. Robinson says, that he cannot believe Michael was just ten years old and he needed to see his birth certificate to make sure.
Usher (12.10) sings “Gone too soon”
Texan congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (11.58am): She defends Michael Jackson, “We understand laws, and we know that people are innocent until proven otherwise. That is what the Constitution stands for.” Applause. The rest of her speech focuses on Jackson-as-humanitarian and finishes off that Michael would be remembered forever and ever.
Martin Luther King III and Bernice King (11.53am): they talk about the importance of stewarding you talents and doing your job as well as you can, whether you’re an artist or a street sweeper. “On June 25, because he was the best, I believe heaven and earth did pause to say, ‘here lived a great entertainer, who did his job well,’” he says, before his sister takes up an even more religious theme. “At the end of the day, it is only God’s love that will sustain you and move you to a higher ground, far above the noise of life…”
Jermaine Jackson (11.49am) sings “Smile”, Michael Jackson’s favorite song.
Brooke Shields (11.40am) recalls their friendship how they competed on how they can make the other person
laugh. In the outside world, he was known as a genius. For people who were lucky to know him personally he was caring, fun,
pure. Brooke says that to everyone he was a king, but he felt she was a prince. What moves me so deeply about this prince, is
his loyalty to a flower, the image of the rose shining with him like a lamp even when he is asleep…” Michael’s favorite
song is from Charlie Chaplin called “Smile”, one of the lyrics says “Smile till you heart is aching.”
John Mayer (11.35am) sings a tribute to Michael Jackson, “Human Nature”.
Al Sharpton (11.26am) gave a speech thanking Michael Jackson for everything he has done.
Jennifer Hudson (11.21am) sang a tribute to Michael, “Will You Be There”.
Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson (11.15am) went on stage for a speech. Kobe recalls how Michael has made it to
the guiness book of records as the celebrity that supported most of the number of charities. Magic says that Michael made him
a better basketball player as he was inspired on the way Michael has set the bar of standard. Magic also recalls that he was
surprised when MJ ordered a bucket of Kentucky Fried chicken which means that Michael Jackson is still a normal person with extra ordinary talent.
Stevie Wonder (11.08am) sang a tribute and farewell song for him.
Berry Gordon (10.54am) from Motown gave a speech for Michael and he has recalled how Michael was ahead of
his time and how he blasted the stage during a Motown live concert when he unveiled his moonwalk. Berry says that from the
time he made the moonwalk he never returned back. Berry says that Michael as the King of Pop is falling short, because he
should be labeled as the “greatest entertainer that ever lived”.

Beyonce Knowles is one of the lead actress on the movie “Obsessed” who will play as Sharon, the wife of Derek Charles played by Idris Elba with the other casts like Ali Larter, Bruce McGill and Jerry O’Connell .
The movie “Obsessed” already in theaters since April 24 and was rated as PG13 because of some sexual material and violence shown on the movie directed by Steven Shill.
The story is all about the husband who is very successful with his career and marriage until a co-worker fell inlove with him and stalked him to death. So the things he worked hard to be perfect went to jeopardy.
Anoop is one of my favorite finalist in American Idol.
He is very consistent with his singing and a style that is simple yet he has a very powerfull voice.
Unfortunately last Wednesday, as Ryan Seacrest always saying “America’s Voted – You are out…Anoop Desai!” there you go Anoop was eliminated together with Lil Rounds after getting the lowest number of viewer votes.
I feel upset about it but still hoping to see him in the industry.
Miley Cyrus is wearing replay jeans in her interview with Glamour magazine.
In an interview excerpt:
GLAMOUR: Do you think these past few years of intense fame have given you a different perspective?
MC: I was talking with my mom one day, and I said that I would not change the way I grew up for anything. But, yes, I am really overwhelmed. I went to the Oscars for the first time when I was 13. Then I had my first real relationship; it was hard-core and lasted two years [with Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers]. That’s a life-changing experience most people don’t have until they’re 19 or 20. So my life has been on high speed. [My career] is a huge responsibility.

It’s very sad that the first post of this site (aside from the Hello World) is about Fancis Magalona’s passing away last March 6. When one door closes another opens up. It would be fitting that Francis the master rapper that started the genre of rappers and hip-hop in the Philippines inspires the launch and birth of this site. When one door closes, one opens up.
We will miss you Francis Magalona, the king of rap.
It is a sad news for Filipinos as the King of Rap, Francis Magalona, has died today, March 6 at 12 noon because of Leukemia he started to battle in August 2008. He is survived by his wife, Pia Arroyo-Magalona and daughter Maxene Magalona.
Bio of Francis as written in Wikipedia:
A sibling of nine brothers and sisters, Francis Magalona was the son of late Philippine movie screen legends Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran. The late Senator Enrique Magalona was his grandfather.Starting out as a breakdancer in the early 1980s, he followed in his parents footsteps and ventured out into acting, appearing in several Filipino movies; he branched out to emceeing and released the groundbreaking album Yo! in 1990 garnering the nationalistic hit Mga Kababayan (My Countrymen), making Yo! the first commercially released Pinoy rap album in the Philippines.[1] While rapping politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes in both English and Tagalog, the album was a total success and helped instantly catapult Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status and also marked the birth of Makabayang or Nationalistic rap in Filipino hip hop.
Prayers from CelebrityCatch.tv goes to Francis and his family.
Andrea Del Rosario, Maui Taylor, and Katya Santos as featured on the FHM February 2009 edition are in Robinson’s Pioneer ground floor for an autograph signing on Feb. 16, 2009 4pm.
