MJ taunted but his presense was significant

The one and only supreme King of Pop Michael Jackson passed away for his heavenly stage on 25th June, 2009 and since then a void has packed the lives of those who had got used to his omnipresent without actually realising it. MJ was teased by some, taunted by many and pushed to courtrooms by the money-vultures but now, only when he has passed away do we understand the importance of his company in our lives.

It’s difficult to say that he’s no more and would never come back……..never. And, though, his sister Janet Jackson has moved on, she is still worried by his absence as she exhale noisily, “There isn’t a day goes by even now that I don’t think about Michael, where we don’t all think about him. But right now, I’m in a better space and I’m moving on with my life. At time it can be hard. But I’m growing and learning and loving. I’m enjoying my life very much and I’ve learnt that life is precious.”

Opticians say American teenagers are risking their eyesight

The movement started after Lady Gaga's music video, Bad Romance, hit last year.

In the video, the singer's eyes have been digitally malformed to make them look bigger and bolder.

But many companies making get in touch with lenses in Asia claim to have achieved the same wide eyed look.

The product, known as 'circle lenses', covers part of the white area in the eyes to make the pupil look larger.

The lenses are illegal to sell in the US because they haven't been approved by federal health officials, but they can buy online from foreign websites.

Young girls are interested to buy them from countries like South Korea and Japan, where they're sold freely.

The lenses come in a selection of colours including bright pink and red and cost around $20 (£13).

'No quality control'
Opticians are worried that the lack of quality control will lead to problems like eye infections, damage to vision, and even loss of vision.

A YouTube video on how to get the Bad Romance look has had more than 11 million hits.

This is the advise from US health Center that people have to be refrain from these sort of contact lenses.

Female Fans fall on Buble's Love

If you really are nobody until somebody loves you, then Michael Bublé is definitely a somebody.

The Vancouver city was mad in love at the MTS Centre Friday at 13^th Aug, 2010 from ladies crowd of 10,500 who sprinkling the 34-year-old with love and shouts usually booked for a teen icon.

Part of Bublé's attraction is his sense of humour – This is the quality of him that he doesn't take himself too seriously and is always ready to do any joke. He told a story about eating at Hermanos and having drinks at Hy's Steakhouse on Thursday and had his assistants give away ketchup chips, which he received free after comparing himself to the flavour earlier in the week.

He followed up the speech with "one of the most depressing songs ever," the Billy Vera and the Beaters breakup ballad At This Moment, made famous on the television show Family Ties.

The song is as shocking as ever, but because of Bublé's 13-piece band, featuring an eight-piece horn section, took away some of its power. It might have been stronger without so much instrumentation behind him, like later in the show when he nailed Best of Me, accompanied only by a piano or Home, delivered with the aid of an acoustic guitarist on a satellite stage.

The band was anything but a obstruction on the finger-snapping standard Mack the Knife, which Bublé said was his favourite song and the bouncy Everything, which got the people out of their seats.

So, Why girls will not love him what would you say?

Cheryl Cole v Geri Halliwell in new series of The X Factor

Just eight years ago, one was the girl band queen and talent show judge, the other a naive young pop wannabe hanging on her every word.

Not any more. Since Geri Halliwell gave 19-year-old Geordie lass Cheryl Tweedy her break in Girls Aloud on Popstars: The Rivals, the careers of both women have veered in opposite directions.

While chart-topper Cheryl Cole has gone on to become the nation's sweetheart and ultimate X Factor judge, mum-of-one Geri, 37, has struggled to maintain anything like as high a profile.

The power gap was no better illustrated as they were reunited yesterday in Glasgow for the X Factor auditions.

Cheryl, 26, ruled the roost. In her leopard print mini dress, she made sure all eyes were on her. Geri, stepping in as Dannii Minogue 's maternity cover, was dresseddown in skinny jeans and a suede jacket.

In 2002, the ex-Spice Girl put Cheryl through to the finals of Popstars: The Rivals. She was filmed at the teenager's Newcastle home breaking the news. Since then, Cheryl has enjoyed a string of huge hits both with Girls Aloud and as a solo artist.

Despite being in Cheryl's shadow, Geri was clearly delighted to be back on a talent show.

She beamed as she came in, ignoring Simon Cowell's jibes that she was "gobby" Spice Girl.

Geri then introduced Cheryl to the crowd. She declared: "She's the girl everyone wants to look like and the girl every man wants to have his arm round." That must have hurt...

Take That star Mark Owen has checked into rehab – just days after he admitted cheating on his now wife for five years.

In a very public confession on Wednesday (March 10) Owen admitted to The Sun newspaper that he was “deeply sorry” to have cheated with several women during his relationship with Emma Ferguson, the mother of his two children. He and Ferguson married in a lavish ceremony in the Scottish Highlands last winter.

The boyband member, who was previously thought to be squeaky clean, also said he had fought issues with alcohol for the last 10 years.

“I carried on drinking through my relationship with Emma and it got to the point where she asked me to stop,” he said.

“I’ve never liked drinking during the day but once the kids went to bed, I’d get the bottle open and off I went.

“I have been a prat. I wasn’t thinking – I don’t think logically when I’m drunk. I’m not the person I want to be when I’m drunk. I can be a nightmare to live with.”
A spokesman for the 38-year-old said: “I can confirm Mark checked into a private clinic on Friday.”
