MICHAEL’S LAST NIGHT ON EARTH WAS A HAPPY ONE, PERFORMING AT A VENUE OF #1 CHAMPIONS

MichaelJacksonBasketball1

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Jackson’s manager, Frank DiLio, the King of Pop spent his last night singing and dancing in rehearsals at The Staples Center in LA doing what he loves best, performing.

A sobbing, told Roger Friedman, Friday: “The show at the Staples Center was amazing. Michael rehearsed 10 or 11 songs. He sang and danced, not always at full power, but the way you do for a run-through. When the show was over, he called me, but I was in the back getting something. He found me, and said, ‘Frank, I am so happy. He said he was just so happy. He said, This is really our time. He put his arm around me.”

Although Jackson’s tragic and unexpected passing has shocked the entertainment world in America, it’s a nice thought, thinking that MJ spent his last night on earth where Kobe Bryant’s LA Lakers are America’s #1 basketball champs. Nice one! MichaelJacksonBasketball2

DavidFisherKobeBryant

Tiger and Ellen Woods, were the power couple in the crowd tonight, in one of the most riveting games that the LA Lakers fans have ever seen.

It was Derek Fisher that saved the day, not once but twice.

Here’s how it went down:

Fisher forced overtime with a 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left in regulation and then drilled another one with 31.3 seconds to go in overtime as the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Orlando Magic 99-91 in Game 4 on Thursday night to open a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals.

It was the first time since 1984, when Magic Johnson’s Lakers and Larry Bird’s Celtics hooked up, that two games in a finals have gone to overtime.

10 HOT POSTS RIGHT NOW

1JoyJenniferAnistonBecause she’s so important, Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the Czech Republic’s Joy Magazine. After Angelina Jolie silently inherited Aniston’s princess baggage via partner Brad Pitt, Forbes Magazine finally checked Aniston’s mooching streak, by deservedly naming Angelina at just 34 years-of-age, the #1 celebrity in the world for 2009.

I’m glad somebody did. Thank you Forbes. Now Jenn will actually have to find another celebrity meal ticket that will kindly adopt her. Jenn has been subtly playing the sympathy card and riding Angelina’s ‘home wrecking‘ coattails for years now; in between “hanging out at Courtney and David’s house” and going to work sometimes by appearing in the odd film. We’ve given Jenn our empathetic movie ticket dollars for years now! It’s just got to stop! Young emerging actors now need them in a recession.

Playing the spurned ‘other woman’ to Angelina has been Aniston’s MAIN gig for half a decade now. Forbes totally called her on it by moving Angie up to #1. It’s now time for Jennifer Aniston to put down her hair straightening tongs for a Hollywood minute and book a plane ticket to a third world country… not just Mexico for margaritas on the beach… a real one!

Jennifer, all of America and the world gives you their blessing and permission to finally grow up, go to Africa and make a difference too! On that note…

KobeBryantAmazing

LA Times has the best feature today on how Amazing Kobe Bryant is. Kobe Bryant, 30, whose Lakers begin the NBA Finals against Orlando tonight, has played in 1,118 NBA games. When Michael Jordan was the same age, he had played in 340 fewer games with the Chicago Bulls. Is Kobe, bigger and better than Michael Jordan’s legendary basketball legacy, if this is the case?

Meanwhile not only is Bryant on par to lead the LA Lakers into the NBA final, but he’s also managed to get himself onto the Top 10 Most powerful celebrities in the world list, this year. (more…)

BARACK OBAMA HAS JOB APPROVAL FROM AMERICANS

barackobamabasketballdiariesPresident Barack Obama’s job approval ratings fare well with 2/3rds of the American people and also the “well to do.” That’s a coup! Not a bad result at all heading up to the first 100 days mark of his presidency. As we all know, the first 100 days of a new President are important, as history shows us, what they achieve and instigate in this time frame sets the agenda of their entire presidential term(s). Pretty much!

Nice job Mr President in gaining a groundswell of support with the populous.
