MICHAEL JACKSON ALLE PROVE DUE GIORNI PRIMA DELLA MORTE

*Michael Jackson was energetic and excited. He popped his signature moonwalk and dance spins that gave chills to some of those watching.As he walked to his car, he put his arm around concert promoter Randy Phillips and -- as Phillips later recounted -- in his soft voice, whispered: "Thank you, I know we're going to get it there together. I know I can do this."
That was late Wednesday night, June 24. A few hours later, Jackson was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead."All I know is that the Michael Jackson that hugged me and said 'goodnight' was a healthy, vibrant human being about to undertake the greatest undertaking of his life," Phillips said Thursday. "And something happened between 12:30 when he left us and the morning when I had to rush to the hospital when I got the first call."

* Energico, vitale, e capace di muoversi sulla scena come nessun altro: il video di uno straordinario Michael Jackson, registrato due giorni prima della morte, è stato diffuso dalla Cnn. Le immagini sono state registrate allo Staples Center di Los Angeles il 23 giugno, durante le prove per il tour che doveva cominciare a luglio a Londra.
CAPACE ANCORA DI BALLARE - Per quanto molto magro, Jacko vi appare in buona forma mentre esegue con energia una sequenza coreografica molto serrata con un gruppo di ballerini, tutti maschi; e canta successi come «History» e «They don't care about us». Il video apparso sulla Cnn ha scatenato un'ondata di reazioni e commenti su Twitter, riguardanti lo stato fisico del cantante. Anche se non confermato dalla famiglia, tutto lascia pensare che sarà proprio l'arena dello Staples Center ad ospitare il funerale pubblico della star, il prossimo martedì alle 10 di mattina, ora di Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Gears Up for Michael Jackson Memorial 7 July 2009

LOS ANGELES — After winning a random drawing for tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial, fans danced and sang on Monday, and some tried to make a buck, while city officials girded for the throngs expected to show up at the Tuesday event, invited or not.

Branden Grant was among those who picked up his tickets for the memorial service to Michael Jackson at the Staples Center.

More than 1.6 million people registered for 8,750 pairs of free tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial service at the Staples Center.
As organizers distributed free pairs of tickets on Monday to 8,750 of the more 1.6 million people who had applied online for them, offers of tickets priced from a few hundred to several thousand dollars appeared on Web sites like eBay and Craigslist. Site administrators rushed to remove the postings, saying such sales were not authorized by the Staples Center, the downtown arena that will host the event. Organizers of the memorial said they were confident security measures would limit illegitimate ticket holders.

But the efforts at selling tickets, as well as signs of downtown hotels filling and the police preparing for thousands of people, if not more, by ringing a security perimeter around the event, added to a sense that the memorial was taking on shades of spectacle.

Late Monday night, local television broadcast live images of Jackson family members and others arriving and departing from Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, a San Fernando Valley cemetery studded with celebrity graves where Mr. Jackson's private service is expected Tuesday morning. A hearse was seen driving from one building to another, backing nearly into it through a large entrance way where men then removed a coffin covered by a dark cloth.

The official list of participants in the service for Mr. Jackson, who died suddenly on June 25 at 50 of undetermined causes, included some of the biggest names in music, past and present, including Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson and Usher. More than a dozen television channels, including the big broadcast networks, planned live coverage of the memorial, which is set for 10 a.m. California time on Tuesday.

Elizabeth Taylor, one of Mr. Jacksons closest friends, sent word through her Twitter feed that she had turned down an offer to speak to avoid what she called the public whoopla.

Debbie Rowe, a former wife of Mr. Jackson and the mother of two of his three children, changed her mind about attending, saying through a spokeswoman that the onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction. Ms. Rowe, who was shown on local television Monday screaming and cursing at photographers trailing her near her home, has not announced whether she will seek custody of the children, whom Mr. Jackson had wanted raised by his mother, or failing that, Diana Ross.

G8 - Proteste a l'Aquila e in tutta Italia...

Da Greenpeace che ha occupato 4 centrali a carbone in diverse località italiane ai ragazzi del comitato di l'Aquila. Non importa come, è importante dire a questi "GRANDI" buffoni che si vergognino. Ogni mezzo, ogni metodo, ogni persiero che si userà per far vedere e diffondere il nostro dissenso andrà benissimo.
