Lowdown for Monday October 26, 2009



Is the world ready for the return of the King of Pop?? The documentary “This Is It” hits theatres in the U.S. this Wednesday for two weeks only. And his family is feelin’ it. Michael’s brother Jackie says it a glimpse of a true genius at work. Meanwhile, you know you’re king when thousands of people in 37 different countries will simultaneously dance to MJ’s song “Thriller.” They are trying to set a world record. The current record was set in Mexico City a couple of months ago when over 13,000 people did the “Thriller” dance.
 
Usher is doing all this singing about ‘papers’ and I hear he doesn’t even have his signed yet. TMZ reported last week that Usher was a free man, but the Fulton County, Ga court system doesn’t have anything filed yet.
 
Wait a minute, will Kanye join Chris Brown in picking up trash? Last week, several charges were dismissed against Ye and his manager for that paparazzi beatdown at Los Angeles airport. In exchange for the dismissed charges, they will do volunteer work likely with the Red Cross. Ye will have to do anger management classes, too.
 
I just got word that Atlanta prosecutors could very well drop the murder case against the man who’s accused of killing Kandi’s ex fiancé AJ. Even if charges are dropped Frederick Robinson could still face assault charges for getting into the fight with AJ. Prosecutors are expected to make a final decision this week.
 
What happens when your husband’s kids don’t wanna meet you? Ask Khloe Kardashian because I hear that Lamar Odom’s kids Destiny and Lamar, Jr. hadn’t met the bride yet and don’t want to. Lamar has the kids with his ex-girlfriend who he was with for 10 years. Good luck, Khloe!
 
Oh, Lord—another rapper wants to change his name. This time it’s The Game who is flipping his name. He’s dropping the word ‘the’ and just going with “Game”.
 
Soul Train Music Award nominees are in and leading the way are Beyonce, Maxwell and Keri Hilson with B and Maxwell up for ‘Album of the Year.’ Keri Hilson is up for ‘Best New Artist.’ The Soul Train Music Awards will be in Atlanta this year at the World Congress Center. It airs 9pm, November 29th on the new CENTRIC network and on BET.
 
The #1 movie at the box office over the weekend was the low budget film “Paranormal Activity” that raked in $22 million—so far the movie that only cost $15,000 to make has raked in $62.5 million. It easily beat out the #2 movie “Saw VI” that made $14 million.
