Michael Jackson: Five Years Gone and It's the Music That Endures

It's been nearly five years since the death of Michael Jackson on June 27, 2009. During the last decade of his career, the King of Pop, who had once ruled the charts and MTV during the 1980s, now made more headlines with his personal life than with his music. There was the much-publicized baby-dangling incident in 2002 and the circus-like child-molestation trial in 2005 (which ended in an acquittal for Michael). Then there were the plastic surgeries and rumors swirling around them. On the musical front, almost any other artist would have been delighted with the level of success that MJ's Invincible album achieved in 2001, but by Jackson's standards it was a disappointment, causing him to complain publicly that the release had not been promoted properly by his label, and to suggest that racism played a role in the neglect. Taken together, it seemed like Michael's career was in decline, a familiar tale in the entertainment business, and especially in Hollywood. Revelations about indulgent spending amid mounting personal debt only reinforced the image of a superstar in a downward spiral.

When news broke of Michael's death just as he was rehearsing for a series of much-anticipated concerts, fans were shocked. Following a pattern that had developed around Jackson, the news soon focused on scandal. Some claimed that MJ was so weak and emaciated that he was barely able to perform. The release of the concert film This Is It proved otherwise: Michael was as good as ever at the end. When the cause of death was determined to be a hospital-grade anesthetic propofol, Jackson's doctor was charged with involuntary manslaughter. At about the same time, Jackson family members sued concert promoter AEG Live for wrongful death. Five years after Michael's passing, Dr. Conrad Murray has been tried, sentenced, imprisoned, and released, and the Jackson family has lost its case against AEG and been denied appeal.

In the wake of his death, Michael Jackson's albums sold in record numbers, as fans rushed to find some last connection with the star and the music they loved. It was soon learned that Michael had always written -- and often recorded -- many more songs than he needed for most of his albums; this seemed to mean that fans could expect the release of "new" material for years to come. As it turns out, the recordings that remained were mostly demos and clearly unfinished in terms of production -- tracks many felt Michael would not have wanted fans to hear. The first posthumous album was released in 2010; the idea of Michael was that producers would finish off these demos as Jackson would have intended. The recent album, Xscape (2014), is the second posthumous album and employs a different approach; a small group of top producers used only the vocal tracks from the demos and created new musical settings for each demo. While the musical results of this recent collection are interesting, they don't really tell us much about Michael Jackson. They are a series of "variations on a theme by Michael Jackson" and, as such, serve more as showcases for the producers than as new tracks by Jackson. In terms of hearing Michael in the music, the approach of the first collection from 2010 is preferable, though the results are probably less commercially promising. Fortunately for historians and historically minded fans, a deluxe edition of Xscape includes the original demos for each of the songs. As stunning as some of the production on the new "variations" tracks is, I prefer Michael's demos, even if they are plainer and unfinished.

Whatever one's views about these posthumous releases is, however, once we start debating these albums, we are also turning our focus back to the music, back to what made us really care about Michael Jackson in the first place. It will be Michael Jackson's music that endures. Celebrity has a short shelf life, and the public memory of scandals soon fades. How many still remember the last couple of years of Elvis Presley's life when they think about the King of Rock 'n' Roll? Elvis' decline before his death in 1977 was fodder for late-night comedians and newspaper cartoons; no longer the slim and sexy man he once was, Presley had become paunchy and puffy, a relic of rock's past. By contrast, only a few years after his death -- and the scandals surrounding it -- Elvis' image was no longer that of the overweight Las Vegas singer: He was the lean, young Elvis of the 1950s, or the leather-clad Elvis of the 1960s comeback special, or the jumpsuited Elvis of 1973's Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite. Graceland became a popular tourist destination, and album sales soared (and remain healthy).

Now that the scandals concerning Michael Jackson's personal life and tragic death have mostly run their course, his legacy will be defined primarily by his music, and by the ways he impacted the history of pop -- the rise with the Jackson 5 as part of the Motown empire, the partnership with Quincy Jones on those iconic albums that they produced together, and the astounding, mesmerizing dancing. Long after the scandals have been forgotten, people will remember Thriller. The success of two Cirque du Soleil shows devoted to MJ and his music suggests that this transformation is already well underway. Admittedly, elements of scandal continue to cling doggedly to the Jackson legacy: There are fresh child-molestation charges, a class-action suit over three songs on the Michael album was recently filed, and the Jackson family continues to consider further legal action against AEG. But while there will be more of these kinds of extra-musical eruptions in the years to come, this part of the story is mostly over. Fifty years from now the details of Jackson's personal life will be relegated to the footnotes of his career. Increasingly, the Michael Jackson legacy will be defined by the music, as well as by the dynamic performances of it that he delivered. Michael Jackson's place in the history of popular music is secure. In the end, it's the music that counts.

Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan Downey, produced "The Judge," a drama about a lawyer (Downey) who returns home for his mom's funeral and winds up defending his father (Robert Duvall), the titular judge, on a murder rap. Downey is pretty pleased with the result.

"Susan and I are delighted that this wound up being the first movie produced through our Team Downey production company at Warner Bros.," Downey wrote on Facebook. "It's a drama with lots of heart and wit. Might be the best thing I've been part of yet ... beginner’s luck, perhaps."

Directed by David Dobkin ("Wedding Crashers"), "The Judge" also stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton and HuffPost Entertainment fave David Krumholtz. He's the guy Downey pees on in the beginning.

"The Judge" is out on Oct. 10.

Beyonce And Jay Z's On The Run Tour Will Be One Of The Most Successful Of All Time

Just as quickly as the Internet can denounce Beyonce and Jay Z's On the Run Tour as an impending flop, Forbes uses some actual data to refute that claim.

The tour is on track to sell 1 million tickets, which would result in around $100 million in grosses. That figure isn't all that gigantic, comparatively, as U2, The Rolling Stones and Madonna are among the artists who've crossed the $400 million mark. But those numbers don't factor in how those grosses compare to the amount of concerts per tour. When calculated under the rubric of how much each individual tour date earns, Jay and Bey are slated to embark on the second highest-grossing tour in history.

Because On the Run comprises 20 shows -- compared, for example, to U2's 100, Roger Waters' 219 and The Police's 156 -- the tour will gross about $5 million per show. That figure is second only to U2's 360 Tour, which promoted the group's 2009 album, "No Line on the Horizon," and earned nearly $7 million per show.

Forbes' forecast must be a relief for the Jay/Bey press camp, which hasn't seen its best days over the past couple of months. With news of the potential disappointment in ticket sales came a bundle of rumors about the duo's crumbling marriage. But if we really want to talk about why people might not buy tickets to On the Run, how about the fact that premium seats are going for a whopping $500 and, thanks to HBO, you can now watch Beyonce concert footage from the comfort of your living room? Oh well. Congrats, Bey and Jay. You've done it again.




All of the above figures come from Forbes. Head there to read more about the On the Run Tour's grosses.

Tracy Morgan Leaves Hospital, Transfers To Rehab Center After Car Crash

Almost two weeks after a six-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike left Tracy Morgan hospitalized and in critical condition, he has been transferred to a rehab facility.

In a statement, Morgan's rep, Lewis Kay, told The Hollywood Reporter: "Tracy has been transferred to an undisclosed rehab center, where he is expected to remain for the next few weeks. While he is continuing to show signs of improvement, he still has a long way to go. He and Megan wanted to publicly express their deepest gratitude to everyone at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for the unbelievable care and attention they provided him."

The crash also left the "30 Rock" star's assistant, Jeffrey Millea, and comedians Harris Stanton and Ardie Fuqua, hospitalized. Although there has been no update on the condition of Stanton and Fuqua, Kay did say in a previous statement that Millea's health status is improving.

Another comedian, 62-year-old James McNair, died due to injuries he sustained following the accident, which occurred on June 7 after a tractor trailer truck swerved into Morgan's chauffeured limousine bus. The driver of the Walmart truck, Kevin Roper, plead not guilty to the charge of death by auto, according to The Wrap. The New York Daily News also reported that Roper was speeding -- going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone -- before the tragic crash.

AC/DC Will 'Very Likely' Go On Tour This Year, Says Frontman Brian Johnson

Here's some exciting news for AC/DC fans: It seems the Australian rockers will take to the stage sooner than expected.

In a Thursday message posted on his car racing website, band frontman Brian Johnson wrote that the group will "very likely" go on tour "before the end of the year."

"So stand by for more music," he wrote.

His announcement comes several months after he revealed plans for a 40th anniversary tour.

In February, the singer said in a radio interview that the band would try to "do 40 shows to thank the fans for their undying loyalty."

"We'll have to go out, even though we’re getting a bit long in the tooth," he told Florida radio station 98.7 The Gater. "You know what? It's been four years [since we last went on tour], and I'm really looking forward to it."

Johnson added at the time that the band was also planning to record a new album.

The future of AC/DC has been in question since guitarist Malcolm Young's departure from the band earlier this year. In April, The Associated Press reported that Young -- who founded the band with his brother, Angus, in 1973 -- was taking a break from AC/DC for health reasons.

No, former teenagers, you are not dreaming: Draco Malfoy, Bellatrix LeStrange and Luna Lovegood really did get together to hang out in a magical village.

On Wednesday, June 18, members of the "Harry Potter" cast descended upon Universal Studios' Wizarding World of Harry Potter to get a sneak peek at the theme park's soon-opening Diagon Alley attraction.

From left to right, the picture features: Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleeson), Bellatrix LeStrange (Helena Bonham Carter), Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis), Professor Flitwick (Warwick Davis), Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the Weasley twins (Oliver and James Phelps), Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch).

As noted by The Hollywood Gossip, the picture is part of a recent press push for the new attraction, which also brought us this segment, in which a Jimmy Fallon reporter tests the wizarding knowledge of parents visiting the park.

The shady stuff that goes on at Gringotts would usually be enough to keep us away from Diagon Alley altogether -- but if this crew's waiting on the other side, we'll try to tap those Leaky Cauldron bricks right.

Honours: Much More Than Angelina!

Angelina Jolie has been made an honorary Dame (the female equivalent of a Knight) of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours this month. A lot of Americans may not know what that entails, so I thought I'd try and explain.

Her Majesty is one of the few people in the world with two birthdays. She was actually born on 21 April -- a day she typically spends privately with her family. Last Saturday, 14 June, was her Official Birthday. It's always a Saturday in June, because the notorious British weather is more likely to behave itself at that time of the year. The pageantry includes a parade called the Trooping of the Colour: this year's festivities came off in typically spectacular fashion.

It's also traditional for the Queen to announce a list of people to receive awards that we call honours. She does this twice a year: once in June and once at New Year. Some aspects of the honours system may seem a bit archaic -- for example, the largest group of honours is called the Order of the British Empire. There is also the Royal Victorian Order and the Order of St. Michael and St. George, amongst others.

Whatever the title, it's still a great way of honouring those who have served their fellow men and women, or the country, whether in their chosen field or in another walk of life. For example, Angelina Jolie's DCMG comes for her tireless humanitarian work on behalf of rape victims around the world, which was the inspiration for the recent London Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.

Reflecting the wide diversity of talent Britain has to offer, other names on the list included Olympic medallists, novelists and fashion designers. But not all honorees are household names. This year's list includes many people who are not well-known or wealthy, but have nevertheless done extraordinary things -- like raising millions for charity, turning around failing schools, pushing back the frontiers of science or helping people rebuild their lives after natural disasters.

As Angelina Jolie's award shows, you do not need to be a Brit to be honoured. In fact, if you know somebody in your community who has done great things for the UK-US relationship, you can nominate them yourself. Find out more here.

Occasionally, I have the privilege of conferring awards on Her Majesty's behalf. Looking at this year's Birthday Honours I found myself reflecting on some of the distinguished Americans to whom I have presented awards in my time as Ambassador here. They have included Mark Piggot of Seattle, whose business interests span the Atlantic and whose philanthropy has enriched British institutions from the House of Lords to the Royal Shakespeare Company; Judy O'Rourke, who has been the driving force behind efforts to remember the victims of Pan Am 103 which was blown up over Lockerbie in Scotland in 1988; and Captain Brian Jordan, a US Marine whose story of battlefield heroism is simply incredible.

Each of these honorees serves in a very different field, but each deserves the gratitude of the British people. Honours are a perfect way of expressing that appreciation. The institution may be venerable, but it is also vital.

Why Kevin Hart Says Marrying Young Hurt His Marriage

No one makes us laugh about how tough married life can be more than comedian Kevin Hart.

But in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 34-year-old funnyman gets real about his marriage to ex Torrei Hart and explains why he thinks they couldn't keep it together as a couple.

"When people get married young, you don't really understand the true definition of marriage," said Hart, who married Torrei when they were both in their mid-twenties.

"You have to learn to be partners for real, and in my first relationship I didn't understand that definition because I was young, so you do things that you shouldn't do," he added.

The couple called it quits in 2011, after nearly eight years of marriage and two kids together. Torrei reportedly walked away with a mere $175,000 in the divorce settlement. (Hart was worth a reported $9 million at the time.)

In an interview with Ebony last year, Hart said that the divorce ultimately made him a better man.

"When I was married, I definitely went through a lying period," he told the magazine. "I just turned into a liar, but you learn from your mistakes. Being that guy once upon a time has helped me develop into the man I am now, and I approach relationships in a completely different manner."

Introducing, River Rose Blackstock!

Kelly Clarkson took to Twitter to share a photo of her one-week-old daughter, writing, "Here is our beautiful baby girl River Rose; 6lbs 6oz, 18 inches, and the greatest thing on the planet :)"




Clarkson welcomed her first child with husband Brandon Blackstock on June 12 after a tough pregnancy. The 32-year-old singer was open about her nausea and other various mom-to-be symptoms, telling Ellen DeGeneres in December, "I vomit a good dozen times a day. It's, like, bad. I vomited before coming out here and I had a peppermint so you didn't [know]. I'm not even kidding, it's so bad. It's so bad."

"I know it's like so gross," she continued. "And that's the thing, too -- you're not attractive when you're pregnant. Everybody tells you [that] you glow and you're hair is pretty and you're nails are pretty. That's total crap. My nails are short, my hair still falls out like it's not all lush and beautiful and I have no glow. Unless it's, like, something left over from a bad throw up. It's horrible."

Judging by the sound of Clarkson's excitement on Twitter, the "horrible" pregnancy was all worth it -- look at her precious little girl!

Years after leaving the Church of Scientology, Oscar-winning writer and director Paul Haggis is still as disturbed as ever about the way those who leave the church are treated.

During a conversation with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri about his new film "Third Person," Haggis discussed his break with Scientology, which was first explored at length in a 2011 New Yorker profile. Haggis told HuffPost Live that the powers-that-be in the church want anyone who defects to do so quietly, and those who speak about it publicly face extreme bullying and intimidation from Scientology officials. The director added that his personal interactions with former members has been emotionally troublesome.

"It was chilling to see how scared they were about speaking out or leaving. Just leaving. Just letting people know they'd left, they were scared," Haggis said. "Well-known people come to me who have been in secretly and have left secretly and just don't want anyone to ever know."

Mike Dirnt Has the Best Instagram Account Ever

With every photo he posts on his public Instagram account, Mike Dirnt, bass guitar player for the rock band Green Day, tells a story. A personalized, real-time slice of life story. Whether it's about his children, his wife's struggle with breast cancer or his work with Green Day and other projects and interests, he doesn't just post random photos and funny asides, Mike Dirnt sucks you into his own personal world. His pain is his fans' pain. His joy is their joy. His amusement is their amusement. And his stubborn contempt, specifically for cancer, is shared with such open honesty, it makes one wonder why all celebrities aren't like this. His Instagram account has become my favorite online go-to as I begin each day.

After he announced last month that his wife Brittany had breast cancer, with the help of his Instagram page, Dirnt and Brittany have taken the fans on every step in their journey. Through the treatments, the nosebleeds, the hair loss, with such attitude, grace and dignity, it's impossible not to respect and admire Brittany Pritchard's (Dirnt) courage and check in once a day for more updates, or to just get a glimpse of their adorable children.

What makes this account even more unique and inspiring is in the way Dirnt and Brittany are so well-rounded and just "normal" with it. Their lives aren't defined solely by her struggle with cancer or his celebrity. They celebrate birthdays and holidays, go fishing, spend time at the beach. They make time for date nights with just the two of them and make family time with their children, the same as families everywhere.

The photos convey emotion with artistic flare and a human touch we can relate to. It's never boring or forced or self-promotional. It's just him living his life with his family and friends, and sharing it with his followers, just like all the rest of us. If anyone understands the point of social media, it's Mike Dirnt, and it's really kind of awesome to watch it unfold.

Melanie Griffith: What's the Breaking Point?

For years they had one of Hollywood's hottest marriages but, after 18 years of wedded unity, Melanie Griffith has filed for divorce from 53-year-old Antonio Banderas. The 56-year-old actress has said that the two have irreconcilable differences. The couple, who fell in love on the set of the 1995 film Two Much, have been plagued by rumors of a split for most of this year. Griffith is asking for child support and sole physical and joint legal custody of their 17-year-old daughter Stella. The couple has always been vocal about the strength of their love. Antonio once revealed that he's fallen in love with Melanie numerous times over their 18 year marriage. The last time they were pictured together in public was as they arrived back to L.A. following a vacation. They were grim-faced, but they were still holding hands. Then in May, eyebrows were raised when Banderas was pictured in a very friendly embrace with another woman. Sources say "Melanie was angry about the picture, but it's not the first time -- there have been so many photos of him "flirting." So the question is, why did Melanie decide it was finally time to take a stand and say no more? After so many ups and downs, why now?

Given that there have been pictures in the past of his flirtatious behavior, what was it about this particular embrace that brought the house down? Lots of times, out of sight can really mean out of mind. That's to say if you don't actually see something taking place or in your face, you can manage to convince yourself that it is not true and it's not as bad as it seems. In addition, if you do broach your fears with your partner, but he or she denies what happened, and gives you a plausible explanation to mitigate your doubts, you may find yourself dismissing the facts and instead buying into their take on the situation because you really want to believe them. Once the upset and or crisis passes, you're likely to forget it even happened, and it's out of your mind. This all takes place because otherwise you might find yourself at a point where you will have to take action that is too daunting to deal with for lots of reasons. Whether it is money, children, and or the life you are living together with family, friends, and social connections, you are not prepared to jeopardize your security by confronting a problem that could spell the demise of the relationship.

For Melanie, this last picture might have been worth a thousand words, and finally forced her to realize how far apart she and Antonio had grown. For everybody, that is a very difficult reality to accept. Facing the facts doesn't always mean you have to end your relationship, but it probably does mean you will have to take some steps to deal with the problems that have created the distance and space that came between, and may have made room for another person to step in.

There is no way to tell exactly what it will take for you to say you can't deal with it anymore and feel compelled to take action. It may be when you trust what you know to be true, because the hard truth becomes more welcome than living with the lies you've heard and those you've told yourself.

Ben Affleck stepped out looking a bit different as he went shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, California last weekend. The 41-year-old actor got a whole lot bulkier for his new role as Batman in "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice."

"I'm so excited," Affleck told Jimmy Fallon last year after nabbing the coveted role in the Zack Snyder-directed superhero flick. "Obviously, you can't do what Christian [Bale] did, those movies are amazing, but Zack wants to do something different, but still in keeping with that. So I thought this is a brilliant way to do this and I really know how to hook into this."

Despite Affleck's excitement, the reactions he received were anything but positive, but he's been keeping a, what he calls, "big boy" attitude about it.

"You can't say [what you think] before the movie comes out," Affleck insisted to Fallon. "It doesn't matter what people think then, it matters what they think when [they] see the movie."

Well, all we know now is that Ben is making sure his Batman physique wows the crowd.

Ladies, take note -- this is how you get dressed.

Over the past couple of days, Hollywood has been upping its style game and we are très impressed. Poppy Delevingne wore an unexpected black floral dress that left us awestruck, Kiernan Shipka was her usual adorable self in a pink strapless number and America Ferrera made a strong case for the color red in a show-stopping ensemble.

Check out the best-dressed stars of the week and let us know if you agree with our picks.

America Ferrera

Ferrera is a total bombshell in this tight red dress. Not only does it hug her curves in all the right places, the bold hue really pops against her dark hair and olive complexion.


Nicole Kidman in Armani Privé

Nicole Kidman is a dead ringer for Grace Kelly in this stunning strapless gown. The intricate beading and creamy ivory color are the picture of elegance. Kidman's black belt and shoes may seem a little heavy for such a delicate dress, but we are willing to look past it as the rest of the ensemble is spot on.


Nicola Peltz in Prada

paltz

The "Transformers" star looked statuesque in this iridescent blue column dress with crystal embellishments. Despite the major cut-out on front, the dress is balanced out by the longer hemline and high neck line.


Poppy Delevingne in Vivienne Westwood Gold Label

Every single thing about this outfit is impeccable. The dress is an interesting take on the floral trend; it helps that it looks like it has been expertly draped, as the asymmetrical neckline is hanging off of her body perfectly. Nude pumps were also a great choice with this otherwise busy ensemble, while Delevingne's pulled back hair really shows off that fierce red lipstick.


Kiernan Shipka in Marni

shipka

Cute, fashion-forward, age-appropriate -- Shipka's dress embodies everything she's known for.


Chrissy Teigen in Elisabetta Franchi

chrissy

Teigen clearly knows that white and gold is one of the best color combinations out there. Her short, plunging dress is great for the warm weather, while her slicked back hair is an easy way to avoid summer frizz.


Kate Middleton in Alexander McQueen

Yes, we may have seen the Duchess in this outfit before, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The military-inspired top and skirt are a nice change from the feminine dresses we normally see her wear.

Lionel Richie On The Secret Chaos Behind Producing 'We Are The World' (VIDEO)

In 1985, producer Quincy Jones gave Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson the assignment of a lifetime. To help fight famine in Africa, he wanted them to write a song for the most famous artists in the music industry to sing together. On his upcoming "Oprah's Master Class" interview, Richie reflects on creating the song that would become an anthem heard worldwide.

"Quincy walks in the door and says, 'I need the song now,'" Richie says. "And a day later, we had the bones for 'We Are the World.'"

Now, it was just a matter or recruiting the talent. "Back then you couldn't email it," he says. "You had to put it on a cassette and send it to people. So we had people agreeing to be involved with a song they haven't heard yet."

The historic recording brought together an unprecedented number of artists, including Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan and Cyndi Lauper.

"And of course, what [the song] did do was beyond our wildest imagination," Richie says. "We became a country unto itself. We became the world."

"Oprah's Master Class" with Lionel Richie airs Sunday, June 22 at 10 p.m. ET on OWN.

Best Tweets: What Women Said On Twitter This Week

One of the best Twitter conversations this week was started by our esteemed colleagues at HuffPost Celebrity, who created the clever #BeyoncePickupLines. Melissa M had the entire HuffPost Lady Corner laughing when she tweeted: "Hey girl, you on Tinder? Because I'd never swipe you to the left, to the left. #BeyoncePickupLines." Bey + witty humor = perfection.

#BeyoncePickupLines must have sent Twitter into a Queen B craze because there were multiple funny ladies talking about Yoncé all week. Rebecca Shapiro couldn't seem to shake Beyoncé, even when texting: "Just tried to type 'beyond' and automatically typed 'beyonce' so that’s where I’m at on this Thursday afternoon." Damn autocorrect.

In other news, we were so excited to get some clues about "Pitch Perfect 2" from Anna Kendrick who tweeted, "Good news from the set of Pitch Perfect. Beca still mostly wears long pants and boots, so I basically never have to shave my legs. Or feet." We are SO excited!
