Global tribute marks year since Michael Jackson's death
LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson fans worldwide paid tribute to the late King of Pop on Friday, the first anniversary of his death, by remembering him in song and dance even as his father sued the doctor accused of sending the superstar to his grave. In Tokyo, the "Thriller" singer's followers spent the night among his possessions at a Michael Jackson exhibition, at New York's famed Apollo theater they danced to his music, and along Hollywood's Walk of Fame, they laid flowers by his star.
Shakira, Kylie and Muse shine at Glastonbury
PILTON, England - Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue made her debut at the Glastonbury music festival on Saturday, five years after she was forced to pull out of the event after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The 42-year-old, a major star in Britain, was a guest of U.S. glam rockers Scissor Sisters on the main Pyramid stage in front of tens of thousands of revelers who descended on a farm in southwest England for the four-day music showcase.
Eminem honors mentor Dr. Dre at L.A. event
LOS ANGELES - Rapper Eminem, whose new album is expected to top the U.S. pop chart next week, made a rare appearance at a music-industry bash on Friday to honor Dr. Dre, the hip-hop pioneer who made him a superstar. Dr. Dre received the Founders Award for career achievement during performing rights group ASCAP's annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards ceremony at a Beverly Hills hotel.
Michael Jackson's dad sues doctor over singer's death
LOS ANGELES - The father of Michael Jackson filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Friday against Dr. Conrad Murray, accusing the physician of giving the late pop star a powerful drug and being slow to call for medical help. The lawsuit, which had been expected, was filed on the first anniversary of Jackson's death, just beating a one-year deadline for an action against the "Thriller" singer's doctor.
Teen love triangle at center of new "Twilight"
LOS ANGELES - "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" makers hired a horror director to pump up the action, but what they got was a movie filled with love. And "Twi-hard" fans of the hit film franchise will likely be happy. "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" premiered Thursday to throngs of screaming young women in Los Angeles with its usual mix of razor-toothed werewolves and bloodthirsty vampires, but the movie's true heroes are the pair of lovers who long for the affection of a teenage girl.
E-books pave way for more blockbusters, serials
NEW YORK - Stieg Larsson copycats take note: The slow rise of electronic books is paving the way for more safe-bet fiction blockbusters and serial-type books, at least in the short term, according to some book experts. With book sales stagnating in recent years, the nascent e-books market has thrown the industry into turmoil. In response, large publishers are taking fewer financial risks and betting more of their dollars on established authors, said Eileen Gittins of self-publishing company Blurb.com.
A.R. Rahman's U.S. tour cut short by stage accident
DETROIT - After suffering significant damage to his stage last weekend in Pontiac, Michigan, Indian composer and performer A.R. Rahman has postponed the remaining North American dates on his Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour, with plans to reschedule for September. The six scheduled European shows, beginning July 16 in Zurich, Switzerland, will go on as planned.
Eminem, clean and sober, draws on new inspiration
NEW YORK - "Make some noise for a gentleman who's come a long way." It's a muggy, breeze-less June night in New York, and some 200 fans have pressed into Bowery Ballroom under the pretext of watching local rappers with questionable names like Kosha Dillz and Quest McCody berate one another with questionable lines like "You sound like a character from 'The Legend of Zelda.'" Really, though, everyone is here for Eminem.
Emigre to U.S. documents extraordinary Russian lives
NEW YORK - Soviet Russia's missiles and soldiers snaking through Red Square made for chilling images of a repressed society during the Cold War, but one Russian-American filmmaker is casting a new light on the period to show there was cultural life beneath the communist ice. Semyon Pinkhasov, an emigre to the United States at the height of the Cold War has made documentary films about prominent Soviet-era artisans and sport figures, who not only survived but thrived during communism's repressive rule.
Billboard CD reviews: Kylie Minogue, Dierks Bentley
NEW YORK contribute the track "Put Your Hands Up," a similarly ecstatic ode to love. DJ/producer Calvin Harris and Scissor Sisters vocalist Jake Shears go for broke on "Too Much" with a fugue of synths and disco-rific sampled strings. And "Cupid Boy" matches Minogue's lusty delivery with the hisses and pulses of Sebastian Ingrosso's after-hours DJ sets. Price's ability to create a consistent sound without sacrificing each track's individuality makes the journey cohesive, fun and fitting for a goddess. ARTIST: DIERKS BENTLEY
