STORY #2: What do James Brown and Michael Jackson have in common? The answer lies in Batesville Indiana.
If it was good enough for the King of Soul… is it good enough for the king of pop?
According to Eyewitness News in Ripley County Indiana… The ANSWER IS YES!
Michael Jackson will be buried in this gleaming $25,000 custom-made casket - solid bronze, with a hand-polished 14-carat gold mirror plate finish and a blue velvet-lined interior.
The coffin, known as The Promethean, was the same model chosen by relatives of James Brown for the Godfather of Soul's burial. It comes from the Indiana -based Batesville Casket Company. Jackson was an Indiana native, growing up in Gary before his family moved to California. Batesville has a legendary history of celebrity casketing… In addition to James Brown, the company also made coffins for Bob Hope and Wilt Chamberlain. Next time in Batesville, be sure to stop by… Tell 'em the Diva sent you.
STORY #3: Will the Whitney Houston Comeback stay on track?
It’s been more than six years since Whitney Houston last released an album– From fast-lane to train-wreck; we have watched the decadent diva deteriorate in front of our eyes. But now she’s back…Her new album, I Look to You… will be released on Sept. 1ST and will feature collaborations with artists such as R.Kelly, Diane Warren, David Foster, Swiss Beatz and Akon. It’s been a long climb back for Houston…. Fans can enter to attend a special listening event in New York or LA. Send an email to WhitneyHouston Contest@sonymusic.com and answer the question "Why should Whitney 'Look To You' for a special listening session?" in 50 words or less. For more details, check out whitneyhouston.com The contest ends July 13, 2009. Winners will be selected and notified on or around July 14, 2009.
And, a final tribute to Michael Jackson in the form of a song that, in my opinion, truly summarizes his life. “Have you seen my childhood?”
