Michael Jackson

Didn't you think it was a little weird that Jay-Z and Beyonce weren't a part of the new "We Are the World" song benefiting Haiti? All the biggest names in music sang on it, but the couple instead went home quietly after the Grammys.

Well, now we know why.

The Jackson family is outraged. Yesterday Dr. Conrad Murray was charged with involuntary mansalughter for the death of Michael Jackson. His family say it was murder.

Murray pled not-guily and denies any wrongdoing, but the family still is not convinced.

Jackson's mother Katherine said: "He's a monster."

Quincy Jones was busy the other night at the Grammys. He and Lionel Richie are recruiting artists for a new version of "We Are the World" to benefit Haiti relief.

For the comeback tour that never was Michael Jackson had a long list of other artists he wanted to bring up on stage. You can guess who: Janet, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Justin Timberlake, Bono.

Every year the Library of Congress picks twenty-five films for the National Film Registry that they deem "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." This year they made an odd, but sort of cool choice and included the music video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller" on the list.

It was another big night for Taylor Swift last night at the fake-Grammys...er...the American Music Awards. She picked up five awards, including Artist of the Year, besting even Michael Jackson.

The other Jackson brothers have always tried to grab a bit of Michael's star, and they're at it again, even though he's gone, with a new reality show.

The Michael Jackson concert documentary This Is It dominated several horror films at the box office this Halloween weekend.

This Is It grossed $101 million worldwide this weekend, including $21.3 million domestically.

Paranormal Activity took the number two spot, dropping only 22% from last week to $16.5 million, bringing it to a total of $84.8 million since its release.

Michael Jackson's new song is set to debut at midnight tonight on MichaelJackson.com, but TMZ released a leaked snippet of it early.

Now that we got our Kanye rant out of the way, we can talk about the good parts of MTV's Video Music Awards last night, and there were a lot!
