Michael Jackson Mentionings:

On the first Saturday in December, sound seemed to come from every direction in the store. Ranchero music was blaring, Michael Jackson was moon walking across a giant TV screen and children were banging out rhythms on drums in the music section.

"I really like it here - there's just something about it," said Ana Lozano, 15, of Phoenix, who said she hopes her parents will buy her an iPod at La Curacao.

A power player in the world of political fundraising, the flashy supermarket mogul turned real-estate magnate has channeled an estimated $50m into Democratic coffers over the past 15 years. He has also cultivated his image as a playboy (squiring actress Kate Hudson and model Gisele Bunchen around) and a Hollywood player who likes to hangs out with colourful close pals including Michael Jackson and Steven Bing.

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' pounded out before kick-off - and what followed on the pitch was exactly that.

Roman Bednar struck a post from Gera's excellent cross before Chris Powell was pressed into emergency action on the half hour to hack Bostjan Cesar's shot off the goal-line after a scramble in the box.

AP: Did you always want to be an artist?
The-Dream: Everybody wants to be an artist. I grew up in the ‘80s. You know – Michael. I don’t care who the hardest person is, everybody wanted a red jacket with zippers on it. Everybody wanted a glove. I remember my mom bought me a Michael Jackson CD. I’ve been in (a) band since third grade, so musically, I was already inclined to do such things. When I graduated, right in twelfth grade, I joined this (other) band. It was a group of us – like five of us in a little singing group. (Writing) came in like 2000. I just noticed like “Oh, wow, I’m pretty witty. And oh – Jermaine Dupri makes a lot of money off of being pretty witty, after he honed in on his craft.” So I just honed in on it and that’s what kinda made it pop. And when it came back around time again to do the artist thing, I was like, “Let me get control of when my stuff comes out.” Because you don’t want to give a record to an artist – I got so many records man, that just sit ... So to me, I was just wanting to control the way my records came out, so by me singing ‘em, that kinda controls exactly when the record comes out.

SHE put the bullwhip in Indiana Jones' hand, and the dark suits and shades on the Blues Brothers. She sent a zillion leather manufacturers into overdrive, knocking off the zippered red jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" video.

In Hollywood, aviators never strayed too far from the spotlight. They've shaded the famous faces of Robert Redford, Michael Jackson and Angelina Jolie. They are a perennial classic on the runways too, at Michael Kors and Gucci. And though aviators do get updated with oversized lenses and sleeker materials, their sloping frames will always accentuate the cheekbones.

Leona Lewis could sing before she learnt to talk.
The 'Bleeding Love' singer revealed her first memory is of singing along to Michael Jackson songs in her dad's car when she was "really tiny".
Leona said: "My dad was a part-time radio DJ and I probably get my musical influences from him.
"I remember listening to Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson songs. I used to sing in my dad's car a lot - when I was really tiny before I could even talk. I'd be singing and he'd turn down the music, then turn it up again. That's my first strong memory."
