Michael Jackson's Children

Yesterday was a historic day in Wales.

In an effort to keep Michael Jackson’s legacy alive and remove his Children from the current state side trial of Dr. Conrad Murray taking place back in the United States, a tribute concert was held yesterday in Cardiff Wales.

It was held at the Millennium Stadium and billed as “The Michael Forever Tribute”.

But because it was a Jackson family event it was, of course, surrounded by controversy.

One of the headline bands, “The Black Eyed Peas”, bowed out at the last minute leaving event organizers scrambling for a replacement act.

Others complained that the event should have been held in the United States so MJ's U.S. fans could have taken part in the celebration.

But at the end of the day it did what it was supposed to do – remember Michael Jackson.

Some of the acts that showed up to perform were NeYo, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Gladys Knight, The Jackson Brothers, Jennifer Hudson, Latoya Jackson, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, and Beyonce who made an appearance via satellite.

Prince, Blanket, and Paris Jackson

The highlight of the evening was when Jackson’s three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket took to the stage for their first public appearance since their father’s death.

In fact, Blanket actually spoke to the sold out crowd of 50,000, and it was the first time most people had ever heard the young man’s voice.

The kids thanked everyone for coming and then introduced Beyonce.

The kids, whose real names are Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Prince Michael Jackson II (Blanket), and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Another high point was when Christina Aguilera got up to belt out “Smile”. Judging by the crowd’s reaction it was probably the best performance of the night.

As the concert went one, it marked week two of the death trial of Michael back in the United States.

Prosecutors are currently unveiling their case in chief against Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused of killing Jackson with a deadly dose of the drug Propofol.

Trace Atkins Tennessee Home Totally Destroyed by Fire – Wife and Kids are Fine

Sunday, June 5, 2011 Posted by Godo Bolet at 12:18 PM 0 comments

Legendary country music star Trace Atkins lost his home to fire on Saturday but his wife and children are reported to be okay.

Atkins, who was traveling on business, was not at the home but his two children and housekeeper were.

His wife Rhonda was out running errands and was only ten minutes away when the fire started in the garage of the 5,000 square foot Brentwood Tennessee home.

Trace and his wife had lived in the home for more than ten years.

A babysitter was able to get the children and family pets out of the house before calling the fire department.

Rhonda told a local reporter,

"I'm just numb," the singer's wife of 14 years told The Tennessean. "I'm sad because we lost irreplaceable things like all Trace's awards and our family photos. But you can replace things, not people. I'm just glad that my children are safe."

In addition to his country music career, Atkins has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2003, and has appeared on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and several episodes of “King of the Hill”.

He is also the author of “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck”. His book was published in 2007 and showed his strong political and social views.

One interesting fact about the singer is his pinkie finger on his left hand is permanently crooked to fit around the neck of a guitar. Many years ago Trace cut off the finger in a work accident and he asked the doctors to reattach it in a different position to fit his guitar.

Trace is currently filming the movie “The First Ride of Wyatt Earp” starring alongside Val Kilmer. The film is due in theaters sometime next year.

I know I have forgotten what I used to know about the above dragster.

1906 Stanley Steamer set the land speed record for steam powered cars at Ormand Beach, and that 126 mph record still stands. Steam was obsolete so quickly after Stanley and Doble perfected its use in cars, that no one even tried o break their record
