The King of Music Videos

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, and he was also the King of Music Videos. He didn't just stand in front of a camera and sing, he made movies. He changed the way they were done, and the way they were viewed (his influence on the rise of MTV is a great example).

Here are some of his best, and my favorites:

Gone Too Soon

Fans all over the world are mourning the death, and celebrating the life of Michael Jackson.



In tribute, VH1 Classic will be playing Michael's greatest music video's for the rest of the weekend. And CNN is airing a special on his life, Man in the Mirror, Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM.


Michael, you were so very much loved.

Michael Jackson

At first, the grief and the anxiety took over. The sorrow. The questioning... But now I'm starting to relax, to go numb, in the wake of this devastating news. The King of Pop has died, but his legacy lives on - in his music, and in every artist he's inspired.

Revenge In Theaters Now

Update: June, 29, 2009

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen exploded at the box office last week, defying negative reviews, shattering Paramount's expectations and leaving several records smoldering in its robotic wake. Michael Bay's highly anticipated sequel bowed on Wednesday, and with a $60.6 million take in its first day, it broke the Wednesday record previously held by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix back in 2007.

'Transformers' went on to make another $112 million over the weekend, enjoying a five-day cumulative of $201.2 million, bringing it right behind "The Dark Knight" for the largest five-day gross in movie history. It's a very close call, as "The Dark Knight" stands at $203.8 million, but so far no one is calling for a recount. 'Transformers' did steal the IMAX record, however, and is currently the biggest weekend and the largest five-day haul that the specialty screener has ever enjoyed.

Here are a few photos from the shoot (courtesy of TeenVogue.com):




I absolutely adore this beautiful young Brit! Not only is she an incredibly talented actress, she's also a terribly brilliant girl with a bright future ahead. She has her priorities in order, her head on straight, and she seems as sweet as can be (how refreshing!). I'm sure she'll experience nothing but success when she heads to University, and I hope she'll consider acting again once she's done.

Sienna's In Vogue

Sexy British superstar Sienna Miller has nabbed the July cover of Vogue magazine. Cheers!


Sienna looks fab in the photoshoot; wearing a sleek ponytail and posing by a luscious pool. Yet, I can still recall a time when Vogue editor Anna Wintour complaining about Sienna being "too toothy" for the magazine. Perhaps the August release of G.I. Joe and Sienna's upcoming Broadway debut changed her mind?

What 1 Year + 1 Month Makes

Kobe Bryant has accomplished so much in the past 13 months.

In May 2008 he was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the very first time. In August 2008 he helped lead Team USA to a Gold Medal victory in the Beijing Olympics. In February 2009 he was named co-MVP, alongside Shaquille O'Neal, at the NBA All Star game (his 3rd All Star MVP trophy). And now, at just 30-years-old, he's won his 4th NBA Championship and his first ever NBA Finals MVP honor!



He is, without a doubt, the best player in the NBA. The best player in the world.

The 2009 NBA Champions

4 for Kobe. 10 for Phil. And 15 for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Congratulations L.A. on winning Game 5, 99-86, and clinching the NBA Championship!!! You are the best in the west, and the best in the world!


Phil, you've coached the greatest, and now you are the greatest. Not only in basketball, but in all of sports. Stay zen, my master!


And Kobe, you don't need a trophy or a gold medal to prove how incredibly talented you are, but they sure are nice to have around the office. And I am so, so proud of you for earning them! You are and always will be my MVP.


I love you!

"Anything is possible!"

Brit's New Boy

After a tumultuous relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and a heartbreaking divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears has found somebody new – and her family approves.

Confirming Internet rumors, a source tells PEOPLE that Spears, 27, is romantically involved with her agent, Jason Trawick. "They are totally and definitely dating," the source says. "Her dad loves him. He's the best thing that happened to her."

In recent months, Trawick has often been photographed with the pop star, including during her May trip to the Bahamas with her sons, Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2.

"They're very sweet together," the source says, adding that Spears "always had a crush" on Trawick, who is also one of her brother Bryan's best friends. "He makes Britney really happy, and he's great with the boys."

Spears' rep had no comment.

Adam Rocks

Here it is! Adam Lambert's (Hot, Hot, Hot!) Rolling Stone cover:


And, to those of you who are absolutely clueless, you'll be glad to know that he does "come out" in the issue (on stands Friday).

Laura And Euna

At this time, I'd like to send my thoughts and prayers to Laura Ling, Euna Lee, and their families.

It was announced on Monday that the two U.S. journalists, who were detained in North Korea 3 months ago, have been sentenced to 12 years hard labor for the “grave crime they committed against the Korean nation and their illegal border crossing."

My hope is that our government and our leaders can negotiate a swift and safe return to the U.S. for these two women.

New Moon Exclusive

A teaser trailer for the next movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, premiered last night during the MTV movie awards... and I must say, I think it was better than the first book and the first movie put together.


Hello Jacob!
