Michael Jackson This Is It Concert Features Jesus, Chris Brown And Top Austrian Stars

MICHAEL Jackson Tribute Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Michael Jackson in the new: The This Is It tribute concert features Jermaine Jackson, Katherine Jackson, more Jacksons, Chris Brown (maybe), Elvis, Jesus, Mary J Blige (maybe), top Austrian acts, and did we mention Jermaine Jackson?

NBC New York: “Michael Jackson Cult to Open Chapel in Brooklyn”. FreeWilliamsburg:

Rusel Parish, a Michael Jackson artist and now leader and spokesperson for the newly arrived Cult of Michael Jackson, is opening a chapel for worshipers on North 6th this Friday, “despite the tragic passing of the object of its obsession”…

Parish hopes to recruit “believers” to help turn the late singer’s songs into scripture, spread the love… “Those plans, I hope, are not apocalyptic, and rather focus on making the world a better place for you and for me”.

The Guardian: “ Promotional material made available today for the Michael Jackson documentary This Is It shows a composite of colourful images of the singer rehearsing for his comeback tour, superimposed on a full-size image of the star in a familiar pose. It includes the tagline: “Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Like you’ve never seen him before.”

The Sun: “Brown’s MJ tribute is a no-go

CHRIS BROWN will NOT be performing at the MICHAEL JACKSON tribute show in Austria later this month, according to his record label.

Times Of India: “Jermaine Jackson backtracks on Chris Brown”

He said: “It”s up to the judge if he gets let out of the country or not. I”m not worried at all. He wants to be here… He”s asked for forgiveness. If Christ can forgive him, so can we. People make mistakes, but he”s a wonderful performer.”

Says Jermaine Jackson spokesman for Jesus Christ on woman beater and bowtie wearer Chris Brown. Anyhow, who’s on the big post-Jackson bill?
