Here are a few more photos of Michael Jackson and his children — Prince Michael, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II — lookin’ their Halloween best with new masks as they made their way en masse to Borders bookstore in Westwood, CA last night:

You may recall that yesterday we saw that Jacko and the kiddies got a jump-start on their Halloween celebrations this year by doing a bit of trick-or-treating early. Personally, I like these masks much better than their previous masks. I mean, it’s all still very much WTF? but I guess the semi-daily sightings are making them seem more normal? It is Halloween, after all, so … what the hell.

Oh and about that reported Jackson 5 reunion that Jermaine Jackson promised would come in 2009? Yeah, Michael Jackson says that ain’t happening:

Jermaine Jackson made headlines earlier this week, when he hinted that the original members of the Jackson 5 were ready for a comeback album and tour. Alas, Michael Jackson quickly debunked the reunion talk. “My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences,” the King of Pop said in a statement released by his rep, identified as “Dr. Tohme.” “But at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them. I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon,” he continued. Jackson has been “in L.A. working … and meeting with people like will.i.am,” confirmed one music source, adding, “From what I hear, it’s going really well.”

Of course, none of this surprises me in the least. It seems absolutely impossible for this group of unstable (to say the least) family members to coordinate in any real way that would make a reunion possible. Michael Jackson seems happily ensconced in his own little dream world, flitting about from book store to book store with his costumed children to care at all about working with his family again. We’ve been hearing about these “new projects” for months … years. I’d be shocked if any of the work he’s been reportedly doing with Will.i.am will actually get released. We’ve also heard that Las Vegas big wigs are trying to woo Jacko into undertaking his own Vegas show … I highly doubt that will ever come to be either. I’m sorry, I just have a real hard time believing that Michael Jackson is functionally capable of becoming a performer again. Nothing that I’ve seen or heard from him in the past 10+ years leads me to believe that he is able to reclaim his pretend title as the King of Pop. Altho a bit sad, IMHO, at least he seems happy in his new life with his children. At long last he has a group of kids who he can play with and no outside force can come in and ruin that relationship. Of course, his kids are growing up fast … he better enjoy the playtime while he still can.

Newishweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon played host at Marquee nightclub in NYC last night at the club’s annual Halloween party. Nick actually did double duty as he also DJed last night’s soiree … Mimi, on the other hand, was just there to look hot. Here are a couple pics of Mr. & Mrs. Cannon making their grand arrival at Marquee last night in their matching firemen costumes:

Mimi and Nick arrived on the back of an actual NYC firetruck to much fanfare … but the couple did not remain in these costumes for long. Once inside, they both changed into other matching (and IMHO, cuter) Halloween costumes. After the jump, check out pics of Mimi and Nick‘s second Halloween costumes of the night …

Britney.com (one of two official websites for Britney Spears) has been updated with a new promo poster to advertise the release of Britney‘s new album, Circus, which is due to hit stores on December 2 … check it out:

From Britney.com: Before y’all start freaking, this is NOT the Circus album cover, but it’s (almost) just as cool. It’s the first (of many) promotional items you’ll be seeing — in record stores, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. I don’t know about you, but I got really excited when I saw it. The design is HOT.

We are still more than a month away from the album’s release so I’m sure there will be other promotional items coming our way. The tracklist for the album has NOT been officially released but Pink reader Mick sends in a rumored tracklist for the disc (with producing credits for each track) that sounds plausible but, again, is not confirmed. After the jump, check out the rumored tracklisting for Circus …

What started out as a rumor has now become a real deal — David Beckham has officially signed on to join the AC Milan fútbol club to play professional soccer for the Italian team. BUT, because Becks is well-under contract with the LA Galaxy here in the US, his contract with AC Milan is a temporary one. Becks will play in Italy for 2 months, during the MLS soccer off-season, and will return to play for the Galaxy once the MLS season starts up again in March. Here is the official announcement that was made on DavidBeckham.com and a report from the LA Times:

From DavidBeckham.com: David’s loan move to AC Milan is now official and the LA Galaxy captain will join the Italian club in January. Earlier, AC Milan and LA Galaxy released a joint statement, with the following: An agreement has been reached between the Los Angeles Galaxy and AC Milan for the loan of David Beckham effective in January, 2009. David Beckham remains under contract to the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer and will return to the club for training and the start of the 2009 MLS season. AC Milan and the Los Angeles Galaxy have additionally agreed to a technical partnership that will provide great benefit to the L.A. Galaxy.

From the LA Times: David Beckham’s move from the Galaxy to AC Milan was finalized Thursday, with the England national team midfielder set to join the Italian club on loan for January and February. The exact starting and ending dates of the loan were left unclear, however, as were most other pertinent details. For example, neither club would reveal who would pay Beckham’s $541,667-a-month salary during his absence from Los Angeles. Nor would they comment on the specifics of “a technical partnership” being formed between the Galaxy and AC Milan, or whether the Galaxy would financially benefit from lending its top player. “Terms of the agreement will remain confidential,” said a joint statement issued by the Major League Soccer and Serie A teams. According to AC Milan’s website: “The English player will be a Rossonero (red and black) from Jan. 7, 2009.” But the Associated Press reported that Beckham would undergo a physical in Milan on Dec. 20 — two weeks after he plays for the Galaxy in a friendly match in New Zealand — and would be introduced the next day, when his Italian jersey number would be unveiled. Bruce Arena, the Galaxy’s general manager and coach, was unable to shed much light on Beckham’s travels. “He’s going to be back in March, and we believe it’s right around March 1, and he will be available for our opening game,” Arena said. “I haven’t seen the exact details of the loan agreement yet . . . but we fully anticipate that this loan is for approximately two months. There’s a possibility he could go in December.” The Galaxy’s 2009 schedule has yet to be released because MLS will not decide until next month on whether to start the season earlier. A league spokesman said Thursday that it would start “sometime between March 14 and 28.” Beckham initiated the loan move because he wants to extend his England national team career, and England has a friendly game against Slovakia in London on March 28, three days before it plays a World Cup qualifier against Ukraine on April 1, also at Wembley. If called up by England Coach Fabio Capello, Beckham would thus be making at least three transatlantic trips within the first few weeks of the MLS season.

You know, this sounds about as good a compromise as any. It makes sense that Becks would want to stay in shape for the 2 months that the MLS soccer season is on hiatus. Personally, I think AC Milan is lucky to have him on their squad for any length of time. As long as Becks is back in the US to play for the Galaxy (who shelled out a lot of money for the privilege) then I don’t see why he shouldn’t be allowed to play for Italy. Becks also updated his official blog with a new post about his loan-out to AC Milan (the post was written before the deal was signed). After the jump, read the text of his latest post in full …

Earlier this week Angelina Jolie surprised the folks at the Hollywood Film Festival by making a surprise appearance to honor her Changeling director Clint Eastwood. Ange managed to sneak her way into the country to appear at the gala this week but it was unclear if she snuck into town by herself or with her pretend-hubby Brad Pitt. Today we have new photos that claim to be of Brad Pitt upon arrival at LAX Airport yesterday afternoon …

… and while this guy looks like he could be Brad I’m not entirely convinced. It’s possible that Brad has lost a bit of weight while working on the new Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds which is currently being filmed in Germany but … I dunno. What do y’all think … is this really Brad Pitt as is claimed by the photo agency? If so, are we feelin’ the porn’stache?

Good news, y’all … action man Jason Statham is back again in the third installment of The Transporter franchise. After achieving marginal success with The Transporter and The Transporter 2, Jason is back in movie theaters next month in, you guessed it, The Transporter 3. It should come as no surprise that I am a big fan of the man and (some of) his movies (Death Race notwithstanding, yeesh!) largely because his flicks tend to offer amazing action scenes … oh and there’s the other matter of the man’s insane hotness. Here is a still from the upcoming movie Transporter 3 where Jason is doing what he does best … lookin’ good:

While it can be argued that Jason‘s Transporter character Frank Martin is the hottest and best dressed dude who can kick your ass with both hands tied behind his back, I think there is something to be said for when Jason‘s character isn’t dressed on screen at all. The Transporter films take great pains to make sure that Frank Martin is dressed to the nines, lookin’ sharp as hell (even after a sweaty fight) at pretty much all times … but they also take the time to insert some gratuitous half-nekkidness as well to give the audience a bit more excitement. Trust me, I’m a fan. I am really lookin’ forward to seeing this movie when it opens on November 26 not only for the less-dressed portions of the film but also because these movies are really very fun popcorn movies. The action, while ridiculous, is always fun to watch and even tho it’s TOTALLY unbelievable it’s always a good time.

Earlier this week, Xtina Aguilera finally released the new music video for her new single Keeps Gettin’ Better to very little fanfare. After delaying the vid for some time after the single hit the airwaves, Xtina released (in my opinion) a pretty weak, unexciting vid. I was a bit bummed that the vid wasn’t very good, IMHO, especially since I quite like the song very much and have been diggin’ on some of the promo materials that she has been releasing in the past few weeks. Today we get a new batch of promo pics and, I have to say, these are the worst of the bunch. While I felt her previous promo pics were sexy and cute, I think these pics are neither of those two things:

Damn the red lipstick. It just makes her look cheap … I just don’t get it. The top B&W pic is the nicest of this batch but the slits in her top that expose parts of her breasts are just tacky as hell. These pics look more like the old Xtina that I’m not particularly fond of. I much prefer the less garish, more fun Xtina that we’ve been seeing around lately. I’m really not trying to be a hater but the “sultry” thing she tries to pull off ends up looking more trampy, I think. I dunno … am I totally wrong? Is this the Xtina that people want?

Word has it that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are planning on spending their Halloween on the East Coast this year since Sam has a DJ gig there tomorrow night. In fact, Lindsay and Sam have already made their way to NYC ahead of Sam‘s Halloween gig and have been seen enjoying all the things that NYC has to offer … including the nightlife and the public transportation system:

No word on what L. Ron are planning to dress up as for Halloween but I hope they do something fun. By the looks of these pics, Linds looks like she’s over all the attention that she tends to generate whenever she goes out in public. It must be hard being a media darling when the media won’t stop following your every move. At least, L. Ron have each other and I know that Sammy will take good care of her. Hopefully they’ll rally and have themselves a very fun Halloween this year. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Lindsay dressed up as Sam and Sam dressed up as Lindsay for Halloween? What other fun costumes do y’all think they should dress up as?

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a few comments here on the blog talking about state of music videos these days and how some folks find the need for videos unnecessary since networks don’t seem to air them on TV anymore. When Music Television launched in August of 1981, it revolutionized the way the world enjoyed music. Radio took a back seat to mini-music movies that were created for each new single released by musicians. MTV got people used to watching and enjoying music visually in a way that had never been done before. Then, in the ’90′s, MTV decided to focus more on original programing on their network letting music videos fall by the wayside (allowing other networks like Fuse to pick up their slack … but even those networks devote a lot of airtime to non-music video related programing). Today, you’d be hard-pressed to find one full-legnth 3 minute music video to watch on MTV at all. As a result, MTV is trying to take back control of the music video market by launching a new website at MTVMusic.com where their catalog of music videos can be watched online at any time:

The cable music channel, which debuted in 1981 with round-the-clock music videos but now primarily focuses on reality programming, has archived its video collection on a new Web site, MTVMusic.com. “For all of you haters out there griping about how MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore, here’s something to calm the waters,” according to a Tuesday blog post from MTV. “MTVMusic.com offers up a more in-depth library, including over 16,000 videos, “Unplugged” performances and exclusive MTV concert footage.” MTV promised to add more videos daily. It currently filters videos by most viewed, top rated and vintage videos (David Bowie, New Order, Duran Duran …). Users can also search by artist or song name. As of Wednesday afternoon, the “most viewed” videos on the site were Britney Spears’ “Womanizer,” Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing,” and Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Insert Rickrolling joke here.

While I would argue that NOTHING will ever be able to replace the amazingness of watching music videos on a TV network 24 hours a day, I think that this is prolly the next best thing. Once upon a time Polaroid cameras were all the rage … and now, digital photography has basically killed the instant film medium. It’s not better, necessarily, it’s just newer and more technologically advanced. The same thing happened to MTV … the public’s need (mind included) for shows like The Hills have forced the network to air that sort of programing instead of the music videos that made the network thrive. I’d argue that you can’t even call MTV “music television” anymore. But, again, this new site is prolly the best way to handle the problem. You Tube, as amazing as it is, is notoriously unreliable because unauthorized videos get taken down all the time. This new MTV site should offer all the videos we’d want to watch without the worry that they will be taken down. This is all very new so who knows if people will even care. I know that I, for one, like the idea of an online library of all the music videos in existence. Is this new site that? We’ll see. But, in the meantime, I’m gonna try and see if I can find any music videos on my actual TV to watch before they are all gone for good.

As I suspected, yesterday was a pretty chill day for me. I did my best to tidy up and stock the fridge before David’s arrival last night. He ended up arriving early so we were able to spend some great quality time last night before we had to go to sleep … and by quality time, I mean we watched the Barack Obama 30-minute infomercial American Stories, American Solutions together … and then we watched the drama unfold on Top Design. He’s not as big a fan of the show as I am but I think he enjoyed it nonetheless. Try as they might, Top Design just can’t be Project Runway. It’s really hard to get excited about interior design. The drama that occurs between the contestants is kinda fun but … it just doesn’t have the same appeal. I’ve watched this season from the beginning so I’m totally invested to the point where I have to see it thru. I’m pulling for Nathan to win it all. This season ends next week.

Tonight, David and I have been invited to the opening night of Spring Awakening at the Ahmanson Theater here in LA, so we’re both very excited. We’ve each attended performances of the show on Broadway in NYC and I’m anxious to see it again. Should be fun.

Steph and Alek arrive home from Paris, France tonight (for good!) and David’s sister Eden arrives from NYC for the weekend. It’s gonna be bizzy, bizzy around here this Halloween :)
