Michael Jackson Fans Must Register Online For Free Memorial Service Tickets

Organizers of the Michael Jackson Public Memorial Service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles will be giving out 17,500 free tickets using an online lottery. The tickets will be given randomly to people who register here on the Staples Center's website. People says a live video feed of the memorial service will also be streamed on tv and online.
Those who can't get the precious tickets – 11,000 in the Staples Center and another 6,500 to watch on big screens at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live across the street – can watch a live worldwide television feed being provided free to networks or on streaming video on the Web.

Organizers are using a wristband system to crack down on scalpers.

"This is a memorial. I'm hoping that people have dignity. We're doing our best to accommodate the worldwide demand," said Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of AEG, which owns the Staples Center. "For those who would try to take advantage of this, shame on them."
The registration for tickets will end at 6 p.m. Saturday.

AEG Live to Refund Michael Jackson Concert Tickets

AEG Live announced in a message on the Michael Jackson "This Is It" concert website that full refunds will be available to fans who purchased tickets through authorised agents for any of the 50 Michael Jackson "This Is It" concerts which were to take place at The O2 Arena in London. AEG Live says these refunds will include all ticket service charges.

Ticket holders requiring information about receiving a full refund should go to michaeljacksonlive.com from Wednesday, July 1, 2009. The refunds will be processed by each of the authorised ticket agencies (e.g. Ticketmaster, Viagogo, See or Ticketline).

The BBC says people can also keep the tickets if they forego a refund.

The tickets feature lenticular images, which give them a 3D moving effect. Eight different versions of the tickets were printed and AEG Live said fans had been contacting authorised booking agencies to ask whether they could keep them.
The concert promoter didn't really have a choice but to offer a refund.

Jon and Kate Gosselin Not Speaking to Media



Jon and Kate Gosselin have left a statement on the Jon & Kate Plus Eight website on TLC.discovery.com. The message says they are no longer going to be commenting on media stories.
"During this very difficult time we will be working to focus solely on the needs of our family. This includes no longer commenting publicly or reacting to media stories and speculation. Our goal is to do the very best for our children and that will be done as privately as possible. We appreciate the understanding, support and well wishes from so many.

Thank you."
Us Magazine reports that the Gosselins' reality show has been put on hiatus until Aug. 3. Kate Gosslin has said she will return for the show despite the couple's divorce.

It's hard to imagine they will be able to keep quiet for very long.

Some Fans Want Michael Jackson Buried at Neverland Ranch

It is uncertain where Michael Jackson will be buried because it is not known what is written in his will. Michael Jackson fans argue that Neverland Ranch was where Michael Jackson was happiest, so that's where he should be buried. There is a problem with this idea. Michael Jackson doesn't own Neverland Ranch outright anymore. He still owned a stake in the Ranch at the time of his death but a company named Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC has control. It's possible the Sycamore Valley Ranch Company could be persuaded to turn Neverland Ranch into a Graceland type of museum and tourist destination. Here's a clip of fans looking at what's left of Neverland Ranch. Take a look:

Micheal Jackson Rehearsal DVD a Possibility

TheWrap.com reports that AEG Live could potentially sell a DVD or Blu-ray disc of Michael Jackson's final performance. Michael Jackson was rehearsing in the Staples Center the night before he died.
Randy Phillips, president and CEO of AEG Live, the nation's second largest concert promoter, emailed that he would not comment for the story.

The recordings also could be used to produce both a DVD or Blu-ray disc of the entertainer's last performance -- the entertainer singing his greatest hits.

One AEG official boasted to a colleague this weekend, "We have a live album in the can."

And what an album it would be. Amazon, record stores and retailers like Barnes and Noble sold of all Michael Jackson stock almost immediately -- and in a matter of minutes following the news of Jackson's death, in the case of Amazon.
TheWarp.com says the several hour long rehearsal was recorded by multiple cameras and included backup dancers. They may have enough material for a DVD but it would be lacking the thrill of a live crowd. Even if it isn't perfect it would give Michael Jackson fans a final look at the King of Pop.

Michael Jackson Concert Director Envisions Tribute Concert

The L.A. Times reports that Kenny Ortega - the director of the comeback concerts that had been planned for Michael Jackson - is now considering the possibility of a tribute concert. Ortega told the Times he was thinking of a tribute using part of what they were planning to do in London's O2 Arena. He is also thinking of a "We Are the World" type of tribute with lots of star performers.
"He's so beloved in the world, somehow, perhaps we can find a way to pay tribute to his mind, talent, vision and heart," Ortega said hours after Jackson's death. "Maybe part of what we were planning to do in London and beyond -- maybe we can share some of these ideas in a different capacity."

He said he was "only imagining." But the director outlined an idea to organize a creative collaboration modeled on "We Are the World," the 1985 song written by Jackson and Lionel Richie to benefit African charities that enlisted a group of pop superstars including Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Diana Ross.

"It wouldn't take an enlightened thinker to come up with a way," Ortega said. "There must be a hundred ways we can celebrate this man's legacy. Broadway. Movies. Vegas. I hope all his artist friends will come together and have a real 'We Are the World' where we can share stories and Michael's legacy in some great celebration. I'm sure they would love nothing more than to be a part of it."
It sounds interesting but the timing of something like that with multiple stars wont won't be easy. Some of the stars mentioned include Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Diana Ross.

Michael Jackson's Death Leaves AEG Live With $85 Million in Tickets to Refund

Michael Jackson O2 ArenaMTV reports that death of Michael Jackson leaves AEG Live with the "daunting task of refunding $85 million in ticket sales." The 50 summer concerts for London's 02 Arena had been completely sold out. Over 750,000 tickets were sold.
According to the Los Angeles Times, AEG had invested a reported $20 million in production costs for the shows, billed as the "This Is It" concerts, which were scheduled to begin on July 13. AEG's profits for the concerts were expected at around $115 million, with a three-year worldwide tour also planned that could have grossed $450 million.

In a statement released Friday afternoon, AEG President & CEO Randy Phillips said, "Yesterday was a day I will never forget, or want to remember. Michael was both weak and strong, clever and kind, talented beyond belief and equally insecure. He was a doting father, respectful son, loving brother, and caring uncle. He was my friend. I take great solace in the pride and confidence he exhibited during production rehearsals on Wednesday night. That is the memory I will cherish for the rest of my life."

Despite rumors that Jackson had been falling ill, a source close to Jackson told MTV News, "Michael has been in rehearsals. He's been in good spirits. He's been rehearsing eight hours a day for the London concerts."
Michael Jackson did pass the physical that enabled AEG Live to obtain insurance from Lloyd's of London for the shows. Reuters reports that some Michael Jackson fans shelled out thousands for tickets to the sold-out concerts from third-party sellers. Take a look:

Bruno Gives Conan O'Brien a Lap Dance

Bruno appeared on The Tonight Show. with Conan O'Brien to talk about his new movie and the controversy surrounding his adoption of an African baby. Bruno begins to flirt with Conan and it's clear that Conan likes Sacha Baron Cohen -- nothing he does seems to bother him. Conan just finds it all quite amusing. Okay, maybe the part of the stiptease where he almost revealed his bare bottom to a national audience got Conan a tiny bit alarmed. But it was all in good fun. Take a look:

Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy Gets Second Season

Web Therapy


Lisa Kudrow's improvisational online comedy series, Web Therapy, is back for a second season. Web Therapy launched last September on a Lexus owned broadband channel called LStudio.com. The series can also be found here on Hulu.com. The web series features Fiona Wallice (played by Kudrow), an online therapist of unspecified credentials, who operates a three-minute therapy practice as a way to "cut to the chase."

In season two, Fiona Wallice returns to face the dissolution of her marriage and two potential criminal investigations. Some of Wallice's patients in season two include Courteney Cox, Alan Cumming, Steven Weber, Julie Claire, Dan Bucatinsky, and Victor Garber.

Lisa Kudrow says, "Web Therapy allowed me to work with some incredibly talented people on a project that provided rare creative freedom. The ability to write, produce and act in a Web series with such high production value is incredibly rewarding. I'm thrilled to partner with Lexus again to deliver a second season to our LStudio.com fan base and a new audience through additional online channels."
