Who Wants Money From Michael Jackson?

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Attorneys for Michael Jackson's
estate filed papers stating that
Joe Jackson has no right, wasn't
dependent on Michael Jackson when
he was alive, and shouldn't get
any funds from his son's estate.

The elder Jackson said his monthly
expenses is more than $20,000
a month.

The $1,700 from social security
isn't enough.

The elder Jackson was left out
of the will.

Jackson is seeking funds, allowance,
to pay for legal fees, assistants,
traveling, his children, and
grandchildren.

At, eighty-one, Joe Jackson was
given a court date: January 28,
2010.

Simon Cowell Is Actually Leaving?

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Yes, Cowell said he was leaving American
Idol for another project. The loved-hated
judge has made a decision.

It's reported that he turned down $100
million dollars.

Cowell or the Fox Broadcasting Company
didn't disclose the actual amount.

He wants to work-with a new talent
search show, The X Factor.

"I didn't think it was right to do two
shows in America at the same time, so
I decided to leave one and start
another," Cowell explained.

Cowell will be executive producer, judge,
of The American X Factor.

Cowell has been acknowledged for the major
success of American Idol.

American Idol's high ratings slipped in the
last two seasons.

So, in fact, Simon Cowell is doing his
last season of American Idol.

There was no mention of who will
replace Cowell.

Harry Reid: Obama Didn't Use "Negro dialect"

Ask me a question, or leave me
a comment.

Reid, Democratic leader, is confronting
Republicans who are requesting that he
step down.

Republicans pointed-out Reid made the
following comments.

"Barack Obama could win the presidency because
he was "light-skinned" and did not use a "Negro
dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

"I accepted Harry's apology without question
because I've known him for years, I've seen
the passionate leadership he's shown on issues
of social justice, and I know what's in his heart,"
Obama said in his statement. "As far as I am
concerned, the book is closed."

Some say the comments were positive like
that of the Democratic party Chairman, Tim
Kaine.

"If you look at those comments, they clearly
were in the context of praising Sen. Obama,"
Kaine said.

A mind-set doesn't necessarily change with
the times, or a friend's accomplishments.

In my experience, a set-mind rarely changes.
It, the person, finds a way to survive, or
end-up like the dinosaurs.

What do you think?
