Michael Jackson in London, 2002. 😍
Looking so handsome and elegant. I love how he looks in this suit, and his hair suits him so well too! ❤️

DID THIS WOMAN JUST DEMATERIALISE ON LIVE TELEVISION?! 😱
Watch this VERY STRANGE footage from an Israeli Channel 14 news program today! It was filmed from the screen by my friend Kobi Borenstein, a lawyer. He cannot explain it and neither can I!
Forget the woman being interviewed. Look carefully at the BLONDE WOMAN who walks into shot on the right!
She's there one moment... and then appears to VANISH INTO THIN AIR!
WHERE DID SHE GO?!
Could this be a trick of the camera? An optical illusion? Or an actual DEMATERIALISATION caught on camera? Did she somehow step through an INVISIBLE PORTAL?!
WATCH IT AGAIN AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! 👇

It's genuinely difficult to imagine how anyone could write this sketch. Utter genius...

🚀🎶 King Charles III x Rocket Man!
King Charles has joined Sir Elton John in conversation for a special edition of ‘Elton John’s Rocket Hour,’ on Apple Music, celebrating the vital role of music in the work of The King’s Trust in the charity’s Golden Anniversary Year (50 years).
The episode, which will premiere on His Majesty’s 78th Birthday, was the first to be recorded at the new Apple Radio studios in London. In the episode, King Charles & Sir Elton discuss meaningful music & songs by some shared favourite artists, with tracks from artists around the world, dating from the early days of The Trust’s founding to this year’s new releases.
Visiting Apple Music Studios in London this October, King Charles sat down with Sir Elton before the launch of the Apple x King’s Trust Creative Labs, a new series of specialised workshops to help equip young people with the technology, resources & in-demand industry skills needed to realise their potential & move into work.
During the conversation, His Majesty & Sir Elton share their memories of iconic performances by some of music’s biggest stars in support of The Trust’s work helping young people over the last five decades — from the Wembley Arena Rock Galas of the 1980s through to pop concerts in Hyde Park & sold-out charity shows at the Royal Albert Hall.
The episode also highlights artists who received help from The Trust at the start of their careers, & in some cases have gone on to support The Trust as alumni.
The work of The Trust, helping young people access opportunities, aligns with Sir Elton’s passion for championing new music & rising stars through the Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music & is reflected in the playlist, which includes tracks by Raye & Skye Newman.

Need to be in a permanent exhibition
In December 2026, at the Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Julien's Auctions will auction off two of the most iconic pieces of clothing in music history.
The red and black leather jacket that Michael Jackson wore in the short film “Thriller” (1983) and the crystal-encrusted glove with which he debuted the moonwalk at Motown 25 during “Billie Jean.”
Designed by Deborah Nadoolman Landis, the jacket is one of two made for the video, and the one that wasn’t used in the zombie scenes, while the other remains in the possession of the Jackson estate.
In 2011, it sold for $1.8 million, and now estimates are in the range of over $10 million. The glove, which sold in 2009 for over $400,000, has a starting estimate of $600,000 to $800,000.

He stood in front of the judge and told her he was working, staying out of trouble and "in a better place in my mind." She said she was sending him to prison anyway. Before she could finish the sentence, he was flying over her bench:
In the video below, the courtroom camera catches the whole thing.
January 3, 2024. Clark County District Court, Las Vegas. Deobra Redden was 30, a three-time felon, there to be sentenced for attempted battery. He'd beaten a man with a baseball bat the year before.
He'd even said he understood. "If it's appropriate for you, then you gotta do what you gotta do."
Then Judge Mary Kay Holthus started reading out the prison term. He ran at her, cleared the bench in one jump and landed on top of her. Her marshal, her clerk and a lawyer in the room piled on to drag him off.
The marshal was treated for a head injury. The clerk was scraped up. The judge was back on the bench the next day.
Afterwards he told guards he'd had a bad day and tried to kill the judge.
He had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His lawyer said he hadn't been taking his medication. He pleaded guilty but mentally ill to attempted murder and five other charges.
In December 2024 he got 26 to 65 years. At sentencing he said he didn't remember much of that day, and that he isn't an evil person.
The judge testified she thought she was going to die.
Does untreated mental illness change how much blame he deserves, or is attacking a judge in her own courtroom unforgivable no matter what?

Jermaine Jackson’s ex Margaret Maldonado loved MJ. In her book she unequivocally spoke about his goodness and how he financially supported her family. It’s actually wild how people create narratives of MJ sabotaging his brothers, meanwhile their wives adored him LMAOO 😭

Prince William chose the view from his first home with the Princess of Wales in Anglesey as his favourite.
“This view is incredibly special to me. It is from the first house Catherine and I lived in together after we were married and where we brought George home after he was born. It was our first home as a family, when I was also a full-time Search and Rescue pilot based at RAF Valley [near Holyhead on Anglesey]–I loved the job and I loved flying across this kind of landscape.” 🥹❤️

I’m not quite sure I can put into words what today means to me.
Music has been my whole life. From those early days of falling in love with records and DJing, to travelling the world and sharing that love with so many people, I’ve never stopped being grateful that I get to do what I do.
To receive my OBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle today, recognising nearly 50 years of doing something I absolutely love, is beyond anything I could have imagined. ❤️🔥
I’ve been thinking a lot about my mum and dad today. I know just how proud they would have been, and I wish they could have been here to share this moment with me.
This honour means so much, not just to me personally, but because of where our music has come from and how far it has travelled. To see dance music recognised in this way is something I’m immensely proud of.
To my family, friends, everyone who has believed in me, supported me and danced with me over the years, thank you. You’ve all been part of this.
My heart is very full today. I’m proud, humbled and deeply honoured.
Thank you, Carl.
