The prosecution didn’t waste any time releasing one of their strongest pieces of evidence: A voicemail from Conrad’s iPhone, with an obviously drugged-up Jacko babbling about how great a star he is. It makes him look pathetic and like Conrad knew better than to keep giving him so many meds. More »

The video for Das Racist‘s new single “Michael Jackson” has officially dropped, and it is nothing short of utterly delightful. It has cameos, Beavis and Butthead references, religious iconography, Victor and Himanshu in Speedos pretending to be Chippendales, and much, much more. And what better way to appreciate this masterpiece than to pick it apart frame by frame? Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin. More »
The hot new mash-up of 2011, by 17-year-old DJ Madeon, is an exhilarating mix of Deadmau5, Ke$ha, Gorillaz, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and a lot more. The video itself is rather mesmerizing, since you’re watching Madeon orchestrate in real-time. But that can get repetitive, so another YouTube user painstakingly synced the various music videos, even the ones that were sampled just for melody or a few lines, to match Madeon’s beat. (This photo is from ATC’s “Around the World.” Takes you back, doesn’t it?) More »
Brad Elterman was a teenager in Los Angeles when he began photographing rockstars at their homes, parties, and other casual settings. Yep, that’s right, at the age when you were masturbating to Conor Oberst music and lamenting your acne scars, Brad was in swimming pools with Joan Jett and Joey Ramone. He’s got a great blog and continually updates with great old pics like some of the snaps in the gallery. More »
For everyone who’s enjoying Glee stars Darren Criss and Kevin McHale alongside Crushable’s spirit animal Rebecca Black in Katy Perry’s new video Last Friday Night (and that should be everyone), but needs something new, we have just the thing: more celebs popping up in music videos. But music video cameos are far from a new invention – these classic videos feature some of our all-time favorite random appearances. More »

• Brief drama at the Time 100 party: Patrick McMullan accidentally stepped on Blake Lively‘s mermaid dress and ripped the whole train. According to a New York Magazine writer’s Twitter, Lively was in the bathroom with safety pins. Stars — they’re just like us! (Styleite)

It’s not clear if the moderators actually put in the wrong track — Michael Jackson‘s “Black or White” has the same opening guitar riff as Foreigner‘s “Hot Blooded” — or if he got started too late and was trying to cover up. Either way, this video of a college karaoke competition makes us want to give him a hug. More »
Redditor iamgame made a sort of visual celebrity bracket, combining 16 older male celebrities that he considered conventionally unattractive. It’s a strange bunch: Seth Rogen and Steve Buscemi sit side-by-side with Hitler and Marilyn Manson. I definitely wouldn’t argue that all of these men are ugly per se, but my personal view isn’t the point of this. After iamgame spent two hours on MorphThing, he’d come up with the image above. Though we (and, I imagine, he) may have expected an amalgamation of unattractive men to create the most unattractive man, you actually get the reverse: An average-looking guy. (Also, I need to make the Rowan Atkinson/Michael Jackson mash-up my avatar on some site.) More »

According to our friends at CollegeCandy, Michael Jackson is the most Googled man on the internet. And his untimely demise has not stopped 218,000,000 Google searches from happening lately. What does this mean? Basically that the Jackson Five are guaranteed to get back together one day. With or without an animatronic Michael. More »
We met a really super nice cab driver last night on our way to go watch Bridalplasty, but honestly, out new pal has nothing on this dude from Minas Gerias, Brazil. This guy, like, is Michael Jackson — it’s uncanny! Man, we hope he can moonwalk. More »
Several apparently, if you listen to Gwyneth Paltrow and writer/director Shana Feste on the subject. First there was Britney Spears, who was the original inspiration for Gwyneth’s character in Country Strong. More »
Got $2,000 to spare this holiday season? Then consider buying this Swarovski crystal bust of Michael Jackson. It’s the gift that never stops giving (house guests the creeps). Etsy shop GalaxiaCrystalArt created the sculpture as “the ultimate fan piece to represent the great man, dazzling in the crystals he loved so much.”

The idea of taking the music of out of the music video to “Beat It” is so good, we don’t even mind the two doofuses behind the box crate. Besides, they’re kind of funny. Michael Jackson is spinning and moonwalking in his grave right now.
