A (Trick or) Treat for Michael Jackson Fans This Halloween
Fans of Michael Jackson are in for a huge treat in advance of Halloween. CBS is airing a one hour animated special with Michael’s music as the soundtrack in the story. A preview of the show was not available but images of Jackson’s infamous “Thriller” are certainly coming to mind.

Dr. Conrad Murray, under fire and under investigation for the death of Michael Jackson, makes a just-released YouTubevideo thanking his so-called supporters-and never once even acknowledging Jackson’s death, much less expressing his condolences to the family. It was absolutely heartless, sickening and shocking to see and hear this man’s pathetic spiel about how he was...
