Queen Latifah Never Met Michael Jackson
9 July 2009 11:25 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news
Given Queen Latifah's emotional eulogy at Tuesday's tribute to Michael Jackson, many of us, naturally, assumed she and the King of Pop had crossed royal paths at some point. However, on the Late Show last night, Latifah revealed to host David Letterman that simply wasn't the case. "I never actually got to meet him," she said. "My partner met him because we managed Naughty by Nature, and they did a remix with him. He thought I had beautiful cheekbones—I do know that much." But in a way, her lack of contact with the late singer makes Latifah's memorial appearance all the more poignant—she, like most, only met the man through his music. "It was just...

Meet Dorian Holley, A ‘We Are The World’ Singer At Mj’s Tribute
8 July 2009 1:17 PM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news
Though he wasn’t given any time to speak and was never acknowledged during the Michael Jackson tribute ceremony in Los Angeles, Dorian Holley might have the biggest resumé of anybody on that stage not named Gordy. Holley, who took the third solo in “We Are The World” during the finale of yesterday’s event, has been a backup singer for Jackson for two decades, but his list of credits stretches far and wide. He’s toured with Lionel Richie, Queen Latifah, Rod Stewart and James Taylor. He’s coached and sang with a cavalcade of stars, from Chris Brown to Usher to Christina Aguilera. And last year he finally released his first solo album Independent Film.
But his most notable contribution to recent musical history has been on “American Idol,” where he serves as Associate Musical Director and a vocal coach. Any time a contestant goes from “pretty good

Pic Post! The Michael Jackson Memorial Service
8 July 2009 5:26 AM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news
Given the messy spectacle that was Michael Jackson's life, one could easily imagine his memorial service, held yesterday at La's Staples Center, would be a three ring circus. What was surprising was how very subdued and touching it was at times. Some highlights included brother Jermaine's performance of his brother's favorite song, "Smile," Usher's performance of "Gone Too Soon" (the song Mj wrote in tribute to Ryan White), Brooke Shield's tearful eulogy, and perhaps most touching of all: When Jackson's daughter Paris-Michael took the microphone....
"I just wanted to say ... ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."
Of course, the ceremony and its eclectic collection of mourners did offer a dose of the surreal. What other event could bring the likes of John Mayer, Mickey Rooney, Chris Brown, Corey Feldman,

Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, the only daughter of Michael Jackson, paid her last tribute to late father, delivering a tearful goodbye speech on-stage during the public memorial service for the singer held at L.A.'s Staples Center on Tuesday, July 7. Keeping her tribute short, the little girl tried to fight back tears and said, "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just want to say I love him so much."
Unable to avoid crying on stage, 11-year-old Paris turned to Janet Jackson, who was quick to embrace her. A moment later, Janet and some other family members led Paris off the stage. Paris' touching tribute was the first public statement made by any of Michael's children since the King of Pop passed away on June 25.
