Pepsi is bringing back Michael Jackson

Hey, remember that time Michael Jackson was shooting a commercial for Pepsi, then his hair caught on fire, thus sparking what many believe to be the catalyst for his fall from grace? Well, keep that in mind as you read this story about how Pepsi will use Michael’s image in a new ad campaign. Via Huffington Post:

PepsiCo Inc. is going on a reunion tour with The King of Pop. The Purchase, N.Y.-based company on Thursday announced its deal with the estate of Michael Jackson to use the late pop star’s image for its new global marketing push. The nature of the promotion will vary by country, but will include special edition cans bearing Jackson’s image, a TV ad in some markets and chances to download remixes of some of Jackson’s most famous songs.

Pepsi, which first partnered with Jackson in 1983, did not disclose the terms of its deal with the singer’s estate.

The promotion is part of a global marketing blitz planned for the year ahead by Pepsi, which is looking to revive its brand and win back market share from The Coca-Cola Co. Next week, Pepsi is also launching a TV ad featuring singer Nicki Minaj and announcing details of its partnership with Twitter to stream concerts online.

And that’s all I need to say about that. Feel free to fill in the gaps yourselves, because I’m not touching this one with a ten-foot pole.

MJ’s daughter claims Sony faked her dad’s voice!

A couple years back, Sony released a Michael Jackson album posthumously, which a lot of people thought was in pretty shitty taste, but to be fair, this is a recording label. Shitty is kinda their thing. Anyway, it turns out someone got their hands on an alleged transcript between Paris Jackson and some of her friends, where Paris alleges that they faked Michael’s voice. TMZ reports:

Paris had made the announcement in the midst of rumors that MJ’s parts on the Michael album were REALLY performed by an MJ sound-alike named Jason Malachi … but both Jason and Sony denied the allegations. During the video chat, Paris played one of the songs from the album, Hold My Hand … and one of her friends asks why the singer doesn’t sound like MJ. Paris replied, “It’s NOT him … the whole album isn’t even him!! Go online … go on YouTube and look up Jason Malachi. That’s him!!” She continues, “I should know if it’s him or not because he would sing to me all the time.”

I’m just going to say it right now: Paris Jackson don’t give a shit. Paris will not stand for your shit and she’ll call you on it, and that makes me pretty hopeful for her. I mean yeah, her dad was Michael Jackson, and he died when she was just a kid, but I think she’s got a good head on her shoulders. She’ll go far, I think.

Dr. Conrad Murray is guilty!

Over two years after Michael Jackson‘s untimely death, the jury in Conrad Murray‘s manslaughter case for whether or not he was responsible in the death of Jackson have found him … GUILTY! Via TMZ:

Jurors came back with the verdict moments ago after a grueling 6-week trial, finding prosecutors proved beyond a reasonable doubt … Dr. Murray is responsible for MJ’s death. Murray faces up to 4 years behind bars, but the reality is … he will not go to state prison because of a new law, and will likely serve his time in L.A. County Jail.

The funny thing is, as soon as the verdict was reached, you could actually hear a tiny, high-pitched “WOOP!” in the background that I just know was Michael’s sister LaToya Jackson (okay, I don’t actually know this, but it totally sounded like her!) It’s funny to think of LaToya as the little-voiced, high-pitched angel of revenge who has been waiting to strike him down for years now. “I am the vengeful hand of the Lord, and now you must die! *Throws him into the maw* Teeheeheeheehee!”

Teaser: Michael Jackson’s ‘Breaking News’


Please make sure to visit MichaelJackson.com on Monday to hear his new single Breaking News in full! Based on the small teaser below, this could actually be a kick-ass track, it’s just too bad Michael’s not here to release his new album himself! Sometimes I still can’t believe MJ actually passed away, it still kind of shocking he’s not around anymore, so sad! xo


Fake Michael Jackson tracks on the way?


In life and now in death, controversy continues to always surround Michael Jackson … apparently Sony is set to release a new MJ album (just in time for the holidays) from recordings Michael left behind. Sources are now telling TMZ that members of the Jackson clan (including two of his children, Paris and Prince) are claiming some of the songs are actually fake! A lawyer for MJ’s estate says he had experts listen and all of them concluded the tracks are indeed legit, now I’m very curious to hear the album for myself! Sadly, I feel like it’s going to be terrible, full of haphazardly tossed together half-baked tracks that perhaps Michael never really intended to be released (supposedly recorded back in 2007), yet of course there is lots of money to be made – nobody is going to turn down that – the Jackson family included!

The Michael Jackson album Sony is about to release is a fraud, according to members of Michael Jackson’s family. We’ve learned Sony is determined to release the album for Christmas, and believes the songs are all authentic. We’re told MJ and his kids were in New Jersey when he recorded the tracks with producers in 2007. Sources tell us Paris and Prince now believe some of the songs on the album are fakes — not Michael’s voice. Sony, we’re told, is convinced all of the songs are the real deal. Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the estate, tells TMZ he had experts listen to the tracks and all of the experts concluded it’s Michael’s voice on all the tracks. Other Jackson family members also believe some of the tracks are phony. There is a stalemate, although at this point no one is talking lawsuit. SOURCE

Lady Gaga: Queen of Twitter and now Google!

Because you cannot deny the internet power of 12-year-old girls and gay men everywhere, Lady Gaga has usurped Sarah Palin as the most searched woman on Google. Well, Sarah may be able to see Russia from her house, but apparently she couldn’t see this one coming. Ironically enough, Gaga is also listed as the most searched man on Google too. Just kidding, it’s still Michael Jackson. Yes, we get it, he died. It’s sad. Let it go.

Lady Gaga has reportedly become the world’s most searched-for woman on the internet. According to the latest edition of the Guinness World Records, the popstar has taken the top spot from former US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Michael Jackson was also recently named the most searched-for male on the web, reports Gossip Cop. SOURCE

Well, that’s the wonderful things about Gaga, she has a very loyal internet following despite the fact that she pretty much just made a career off ripping off other artists HA HA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS. Lady Gaga is a very talented woman and oh please God don’t hurt me I have a family.


i hope michael jackson is finally at peace


i still can’t believe it has been an entire year since we unexpectedly lost our king of pop, michael jackson, i’ll never forget that sad day last june! there’s been lots of talk about who might be the next MJ, but the truth is, there will never be anyone quite like michael – he was a true original and nobody will be able to match or surpass him! the world was quite lucky to have him here on earth, even though his visit was sadly cut short before his time – michael’s incredible musical legacy will definitely outlive all of us! i truly hope he’s finally found some peace – i know i speak for everyone when i say, we all miss you dearly michael! popbytes over & out for now … much love to everyone as always – xoxo


that michael jackson wax figure is all wrong


good evening! this coming friday (june 25th) is the one-year anniversary of the tragic and unexpected passing of the king of pop, michael jackson – it’s really hard to believe an entire year has flown by! the folks over at madame tussauds wax museum in NYC are busy touching up michael’s wax figure – yet sadly i think it’s a terrible replica (usually they do a decent job) he looks more like his sister latoya jackson than himself! i know he was a bit effeminate but this waxy travesty really makes him look like a woman (more than he did in reality) they should be featuring one that is modeled after his ‘thriller’ days – to me that was michael’s best and most iconic look – this one needs to be melted down and turned into candles – maybe we should start a petition? popbytes over & out … xoxo
