Jackson's Final Performance


Yesterday Michael Jackson's concert promoter for his 50 London shows at the O2 Arena released rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson in fine form as he sung and danced to the hit 'They don't care about us'.

They released this footage to put to bed any rumours that Jackson was on 'deaths door'. Seeing this 1 min 40 sec footage of him performing so well made me really sad and upset as you could tell it was going to be an amazing show and he really puts perfection into everything he does.

It's unbelievable to think of what happened a day later and it's really hard to comprehend how a life can be lost just like that.

It's believed there is over 100 hours of rehearsal footage out there, so don't expect this to be the last you will see. I expect many more MJ DVDs and CDs for years to come yet.

Ramsay wants restaurant in Sydney


Gordon Ramsay has revealed he is looking at starting up a restaurant here in Sydney. Ramsay who plans to open up his first Australian restaurant in Melbourne next year told the Kyle and Jackie O Show, "We're looking now - there are two or three sites popping up across Sydney."

Ramsay has come under fire in his recent trip after slagging off Tracy Grimshaw at the Good Food and Wine Festival in Melbourne.

For a week there his image was well under the pump copping it from all over the media after the comments he made and Ramsay's star in Australia seemed to be plummeting. But after an apology and a few weeks out of the spotlight things seemed to have cooled down.

While I'm sure the prices will be sky-high for his restaurants in Australia, I'm sure they will be very successful due to his name being attached. I myself am a big Gorden Ramsay fan, loving his many TV shows and antics, so I have to say I would most definitely check out his restaurant if he opened one up here. Would you?

Missing Stars: Susan Boyle


This week's Missing Stars finds us looking for Susan Boyle. The Scottish singer who rose to A-list celebrity status in an instant with her appearance on Britain's Got Talent earlier this year.

Now I'm sure everyone knows the Susan Boyle journey, so let's cut it right down to the pointy end.

She was tipped to win the competition right up until the final week when reports of jealousy over other contestants ran through the media started to give her a bit of a bad name resulting in her losing the competition to British dance act 'Diversity' much to the shock of the public and herself.

Days after the show, Boyle went into meltdown and had a stint in rehab recovering from the trauma of losing the competition.

I honestly think Boyle got a bit big for her boots and let the attention go to her head in the end. Treating the media with no respect, she made out she was the biggest star on the planet and when the competition result didn't go her way she couldn't handle it and now appears to have gone into hiding. So what is she doing you ask? It's believed Boyle is working on an album due out for the Christmas rush, we all know she will be successful because of her journey, but did success enter her head too soon?

I'd love to hear your comments and for any suggestions on next weeks 'Missing Stars'.
