Not all the Michael Jackson fans are excited about the upcoming release of the movie This Is It. They are calling on all of the King of Pop’s fans to boycott the movie claiming that the star was overworked by promoters… overworked? You are on a different planet pal!
It doesn’t seem twelve months since we kicked off the awards season but that time of year is hear again as The British Independent Film Awards have announced their nominations. And it’s Fish Tank leading the way with 8 nods and Moon just behind with 7.
Madonna claims that she has learnt a lot from Malawi and believes that she was ‘chosen’ to help the poverty stricken country… pass me the vomit bucket have you ever heard anyone so full of their own self importance?
Liam Gallagher doesn’t seemed to bothered that sibling Noel walked out on Oasis later this summer as he has plans to start a new band. The Oasis frontman seems more than happy to continue without his brother, well Noel too has solo plans of his own. Who needs family?

Kanye West Dead? Only On Twitter! October 21, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 3commentsKanye West might not be everyone’s favourite singer after he publicly embarrassed Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA awards, but it seems that someone is really, really cross with the star… so much so that they’ve decided to kill him.
Well, on Twitter at least… in truth the only thing that’s dead about Kanye West is his popularity, although, I guess being the top trending topic on Twitter might suggest something to the contrary.
Anyway, it looks as though the rumour that the rapper was dead is completely false, despite the phrase Kanye West Dead being the top search trend on Google overnight.
Personally I reckon someone is either still majorly pissed off with Kanye and wanted to pretended he was dead, OR Kanye wanted to cash in on the media hype over dead celebs after seeing the popularity the likes of Michael Jackson and Stephen Gately have been given since their demise, after all, he has got a new book to promote….
What do you think kids?

Looks as though my assumptions that most psychics want to cash in on death could be coming true after Derek Acorah has announced plans to chat to Michael Jackson in a new TV show for Sky One! Can’t ANYONE leave Jacko to rest in peace?
Late Boyzone star Stephen Gately is to be laid to rest on Saturday in his hometown of Dublin. But as the preparations for his funeral begin, does anyone else still find it hard to come to terms with his untimely death?
As if Alex Reid hadn’t bagged himself enough headlines after shacking up with Katie Price and filming a gross rape scene, he’s now trying to piss off Peter Andre by telling the papers that Junior has been calling him “Daddy.” AR is saying he’s set Junior straight… so why does he feel the need to alert the press?
Cheryl Cole might have taken over your radio station with her new single Fight For This Love, but after admitting she was planning to mime the single on this weekend’s X Factor, we’re stuck for words, especially since she’s supposed to be teaching those X Factor wannabes how to sing live!
When Heath Ledger passed away last year it’s fair to say that it did come as a bit of a shock. This week sees his final movie hit the big screen in the form of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus so we take a look back over his career and his finest performances.
Ian McKellan is in for another lengthy shoot as The Hobbit looks set to take twelve months to film. Now I know that the popular novel has been split into two movies but that really does seem just a tad excessive.

Derek Acorah To Contact Michael Jackson (Oh Please!) October 14, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 18commentsMichael Jackson looks as though he will never rest in peace now that Derek Acorah is blabbering on about how he’s planning to contact him in a live TV séance.
Personally I’ve had some rather unconvincing experiences with so-called psychics, and after hearing that Mr Acorah wants to cash in on the King Of Pop’s death has almost solidified my thoughts that most of it is a money-making scam.
I know there are people out there who believe in psychics, fortune tellers and the like, but whilst I’ve always had an open mind, this latest stunt had me slapping my hand to my mouth in disbelief.
Michael Jackson
So, just to tell you a bit about the whole thing, it’s going to be hosted by the lady who can’t seem to get enough lipgloss, June Sarpong and it will be dubbed; Michael Jackson: The Live Séance, and air on Sky One next month.
59 year-old Derek will try to make communicate with Michael to find out his views on his untimely death… so will YOU be tuning in or do you reckon it’s a load of old twaddle? Or even worse… is Jacko still alive?

Jermaine Plans ANOTHER Michael Jackson Tribute (Yawn) October 5, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 5commentsTalk about cashing in on Michael Jackson’s death, his brother Jermaine is only planning to judge a TV talent show featuring contestants trying to dance like the late King of Pop.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Michael Jackson was a legend, but isn’t it about time we let him rest in peace now instead of dragging out the loss for all it’s worth? To be honest, I’m getting so tired of hearing how the family want to do this, that and the other now that it’s making me quite bitter.
When someone dies we all want to remember them for as long as possible right? But I can’t ever remember Jermaine doing anything for his brother when he was alive, so why is he taking up every offer going at the moment?
The show, Move Like Michael Jackson, will travel across Britain searching for people who can master Jackson’s iconic Moonwalk and create new steps, and Jermaine has been warbling on about it all by saying; “Michael was a superb dancer who inspired people across the world to master his moves and create their own unique routines. I’m really excited and delighted to be part of this show and look forward to finding the most talented and inspiring dancers.”
So, will you be auditioning, or are you like me, and wondering why the likes of Farrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze and DJ Adam Goldstein aren’t getting their own TV shows or having their family in the news every day? Maybe it’s because they don’t want to drag out the death until they’re blue in the face, or maybe they just don’t want to blag themselves A-List celebrity status?
Who knows eh?

Michael Jackson was apparently healthy at the time of his death according to a leaked autopsy report. Erm, does anyone else find this strangely odd? Healthy, but dead?
The Cinematics will be taking over the offices of FemaleFirst on Wednesday the 7th of October, and they want to celebrate by giving you one of ten signed copies of their fantastic new album, Love and Terror! All you need is a Twitter account and lots of friends!
James Franco is joining the cast of General Hospital, only on a temporary basis, but WTF? Excuse me but why do you feel the need to work on a cheesy daytime drama? I really would fire your agent pal as this is a huge, major, massive mistake surely you could be doing something more productive with your time like … a movie, just a thought!

Janet Jackson Will Wear Black For A Year…. Really?! September 29, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 1 comment so farJanet Jackson might have lost her brother earlier this year, and whilst we do feel very sorry for her, the vow to wear only black for an entire year does seem somewhat extreme.
Michael Jackson passed away in June, and despite a rather lengthy to-do about his funeral, he was finally laid to rest last month. However, that doesn’t appear to be enough of the closure for Janet, and now the singer has reportedly said that she will only wear black clothing for a full year.
A source told The Sun: “Janet, like the rest of the Jackson family, has been left bereft by Michael’s passing. She felt a particular bond to her brother and has been distraught since his death.
“As a mark of respect she has decided to only wear black clothes to express her grief, and she has had to go on a number of shopping trips to find suitable items to wear. She has resolved to mourn Michael’s death for 12 months, and in June next year – on the anniversary of Michael’s passing – her time of reflection will come to an end.”
We know people come to terms with death in their own way, but wearing black for 365 days? Come on Janet, it’s time for the world to start moving on now… you’re welcome to mourn in your own way, but if you want to go shopping for new outfits, don’t just resign yourself to black. Or noir.
Elsewhere though, the rest of the Jackson clan seem to be dealing with the passing in their very own special ways, with La Toya recently claimed that she has received messages from Michael since he passed away.
Michael Jackson This Is It Clip September 24, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentInterest and excitement is growing around the release of This Is It which will allow Michael Jackson fans to celebrate their idol one last time.
Michael Jackson’s This Is It will offer Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this summer in London’s O2 Arena.
Chronicling the months from March through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show.
Take a look at the King of Pop rehearsing Human Nature.
Do Aqua Disrespect Jacko On New Track? September 23, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 4commentsQuite whether Aqua can re-crack the charts is anyone’s guess, if it was up to me, they’d be at number one in a shot though… I can’t get enough of their bubblegum pop!
However, after listening to their new single, Back To The 80’s – which basically features a list of their observations of life in the 1980’s – I have started to wonder if the lyric; “back when Eminem was just a snack and Michael Jackson’s skin was black” is a little too soon after the stars death?
Whilst the debate over the changing colour of his skin goes on, the problem is that this was obviously something which plagued Michael’s life, and should this lyric had been written when he was alive it might not be quite so offensive as now that he has died.
I know Aqua are all about making funny songs that make us laugh, and the M&M’s (or Eminem) lyric is superb, but it think making the follow up lyric rhyme at the expense of a dead music legend could be seen as a little too much?
I am interviewing the band at 11am so I’ll come back to you when I’ve heard what they’ve got to say… I’m really hoping it puts my mind at rest because Aqua really are one of my guilty pleasures (considering my favourite band are ADTR and Nightwish!)
I don’t know what to think on this one guys, because I know Eminem takes the p*ss out of his fellow stars on a day to day basis, and Aqua never meant this lyric to be seen as offensive, but what do YOU think, is it disrespectful, or is it just a light-hearted song lyric?

UPDATE: Okay kids, just spoken to the band, and they have informed me that they changed the lyric to “back when Eminem was just a snack and Arnie said I’ll be back” – All is forgiven!

Michael Jackson appears to have had a darker side to his personality after making a hitlist of ‘enemies’ he wanted his closest associates to be aware of.
Ronnie Wood really doesn’t seem to have much luck with the ladies does he? First he dumps good ol’ Jo for his mistress Ekaterina and now he’s only gone and dumped her as well.
After the success of Pixar and Dreamworks over recent years the animation movie market got a little bit saturated, pumping out all sorts of rubbish if the truth be told. However 2009 has seen that all but disappear as the quality of the animation pictures have rocketed. With Up, 9 and Ponyo on the way could an animation film be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar?
