(Columbia Pictures)The sad final days of Michael Jackson are being exposed in his family's wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter AEG Live.Days before his death, the King of Pop told tour producer/director Kenny Ortega, "God keeps talking to me."
Ortega and associate producer Alif Sankey testified on Wednesday that they became increasingly alarmed at Jackson's frail appearance during his final rehearsals and that Sankey was so worried that at one point she began crying, CNN reports.

During a June 19, 2009 rehearsal, Jackson looked "extremely thin" and "was not speaking normally" as he was being fitted for his stage clothes, Sankey testified. After Jackson left, Sankey said that she and Ortega broke into tears. Sankey was so shaken up, she pulled over on her way home and called Ortega "because I had a very strong feeling that Michael was dying. I was screaming into the phone at that point," she added. "I said he needs to be put in the hospital now."

Celebrities Honor Young Cancer Patient by Covering Viral Hit “Clouds”
By Wendy Geller | Stop The Presses! – Thu, May 9, 2013 11:42 AM EDT
Zach Sobiech (Photo: Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund)"When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye?" That's the question posed by 17-year-old cancer victim Zach Sobiech, who wrote a viral hit song, "Clouds," as his answer. The tune touched the hearts of many, including a slew of celebrities who have filmed their own take on "Clouds" to raise awareness and research funds in Sobiech's honor.The idea was spearheaded by "The Office" star Rainn Wilson, who gathered up friends from the worlds of music and acting to pay tribute to Sobiech, who is fighting osteosarcoma--a rare form of bone cancer that is particularly aggressive and deadly.
It's no surprise that Sobiech's song has affected everyone from civilians to celebs: It's hard to keep a dry eye when listening to the lyrics, which include such quiet but moving sentiments as "Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands," "If only I had a little bit more time with you," and the chorus "We'll go up, up, up/But I'll fly a little higher/We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer."

Wade Robson (Photo: Denise Truscello)Michael Jackson may be dead and buried, but that doesn't mean he can't be the target of a lawsuit. Noted dancer/choreographer Wade Robson, now 30, has filed suit against the King of Pop's estate, claiming the he was molested by Jackson when he was a child.The strange thing is that back in 2005, Robson denied he was sexually abused by Jackson when the pop star was facing charges of child molestation. Testimony by Robson, his sister, and his mother helped Jackson get off the hook.

David Bowie’s Explicit ‘Next Day’ Video Banned from YouTube
By Laura Ferreiro | Stop The Presses! – Wed, May 8, 2013 12:41 PM EDT
From Bowie's banned video (Photo: Floria Sigismondi)Update: Two hours after this story was posted, the video is back on YouTube. According to Billboard, the video sharing site claims it was removed in error: "With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."David Bowie clearly hasn't lost his edge. The 66-year-old rocker's latest video, which he wrote and conceived himself, features plenty of racy imagery and the clergy engaged in some less-than-pious behavior. "The Next Day" clip also bears the "explicit" parental advisory label and ended up being banned from YouTube for "violating terms of service" just a few hours after its release.
The video, which some may consider offensive due to its graphic images that could be interpreted as mocking religion, stars Academy Award-winning actress Marion Cotillard and renowned British actor Gary Oldman. It takes place in a bar filled with saints and sinners, where Bowie is performing on stage dressed in monks' robes.

Yet the soft-spoken, amiable Lambesis was shockingly arrested Tuesday, May 7, for allegedly trying to hire a hitman on May 2 to murder his estranged wife.Velvet Revolver’s Matt Sorum and Rocker Friends Can’t Bear Bile Farming in Asia
