SEE Virtual Worlds, an entertainment company developing a virtual reality universe of connected planets tied to licensed franchises, today announced a collaborative deal with the Michael Jackson Estate to publish Planet Michael, a massively multiplayer online virtual world set to launch in late 2011. Planet Michael will offer fans around the globe an innovative, first-of-its-kind interactive gaming and social experience that truly celebrates Michael Jackson’s extraordinary life as an artist and humanitarian.
The new planet, currently under development and slated for launch next year, will be an immersive virtual space themed after iconic visuals drawn from Michael’s music, his life and the global issues that concerned him. Entire continents will be created that will celebrate Michael’s unique genius in a way that underscores his place as the greatest artist of all time. Michael’s longtime fans will feel at home as they find themselves in places that seem familiar and yet unknown at the same time, and new generations will discover and experience Michael’s life in a way never before imagined. At its core, Planet Michael is a massive social gaming experience that will allow everyone, from the hardcore fan to the novice, to connect and engage in collaborative in-game activities with people worldwide.

La Toya Jackson, sister of the late Michael Jackson, says she is continuing some of the King of Pop’s charity work and was among several celebrities who attended the recent Macy’s Passport Glamorama event to raise cash for childhood illness, cancer, and HIV/AIDS research.
“Ever since my brother passed, it’s a very important situation for me because I wanted to follow some of the charities he was involved in,” the 54-year-old told OnTheRedCarpet.com. “So I’m continuing that on.”
Macy’s Passport Glamorama has raised over $34 million for charities in Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, and L.A. Source

Janet Jackson’s romance with a billionaire Middle Eastern businessman is heating up, according to US and internet reports.
The singer was spotted cosying up with Wissam Al Mana at a New York restaurant earlier this week.
‘Janet was glowing. They had a corner table and were very cuddly. They seemed very much in love,’ an onlooker said. Really!
‘Wissam picked up the check, and when asked if they’d be back next week, they said they were flying to Paris for Fashion Week.’ We like that Wissam, picking up cheques.
The pair were at upscale gastropub Rabbit In The Moon, in Manhattan’s West Village neighbourhood. Might need to visit next time I’m in NY…
She met Qatari businessman Al Mana, 35, when she performed at an event in the Middle East last December. He took her for a romantic break in Sardinia this summer. Yes we saw the beautiful romantic break pictures, wish we were there.
According to the New York Post, friends credit him with helping her cope with the death of her brother Michael. Awww we like that.
Wissam is director of Al Mana Retail, a shareholder in Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait. So Wissam is Forbes 500!!!

Just checking out the Saks Fifth Avenue in Dubai…mmmm

Jermaine Dupri, we salute for your mix-tape concept. JD raps, “I think I’m Berry Gordy, Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones”.
For those of you who don’t know he has based this concept on a track by Rick Ross called B.M.F. The first line Rick Ross says “I think I’m Larry Hoover, Big Meech”. Larry Hoover and Big Meech are American Gangsters. Whereas Mr Dupri has turned it around and for his version given us more positive role models Berry, Russell and Quincy. WE LOVE IT!
