Michael Jackson Rises From The Dead To Save The World Sell Pepsi

This just sounds tacky!

Thursday morning, Pepsi announced a deal made with Michael Jackson’s estate that allows the soda-giant to use Mikey’s image for their next global marketing campaign.

We’re not sure if they will be using the latest, resurrection hologram technology, or if they will simply manipulate footage of the King of Pop... but how about neither!

Pepsi already has Nicki Minaj under their thumb, and we’re sure Katy Perry would be forced to agree to the job after Pepsi signed on as marketing partner for the Part Of Me 3D extravaganza...

Let sleeping dead giants lie!!

We don’t want to see them suddenly ‘alive’ again! It's straight up morbid AND creepy!

Michael Jackson to Star in New Pepsi Ad Campaign

Get ready to see Michael Jackson, or at least his likeness, back in action.

Pepsi announced a deal with the late King of Pop's estate that allows the brand to use the music legend's image for its new global marketing push.

What will the new Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial(s) and more entail? Maybe a live action hologram performance, a la Tupac at Coachella?

According to the Wall Street Journal, the nature of the promotion will vary by country, but will include a TV ad, special-edition Pepsi cans featuring Jackson's image and chances to download remixes of Michael's biggest hits.

Pepsi's chief creative officer, Brad Jakeman, said the broader Live for Now campaign took 10 months to develop and its aim is to amplify the company's strong ties with popular culture, with Jackson obviously one of its all-time icons.

Jackson first partnered with Pepsi in 1983, but in 1984, his hair caught fire while filming a commercial for the brand, an event that some believe led to his addiction to prescription drugs, which led to myriad problems throughout his life.

What do you think of Pepsi using MJ's image again?

Adele Takes Spot From Michael Jackson’s Thriller On UK’s List Of Best-Selling Albums EVER!

This is absolutely MASSIVE - even including the amount of records this masterpiece has already broken!

Adele's incredible second album, 21, has pretty much taken over the world, and now, has surpassed Michael Jackson's Thriller on the UK's biggest selling albums list with 4,274,300 copies sold - 500 more than the late king of pop's 1982 classic!

However, that still only places it at spot 5, behind Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, ABBA's Gold, The Beatles with Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club, and at number one with 5.83 million copies sold, Queen's Greatest Hits!

Still - a HUGE accomplishment!

Especially because Thriller dominates that list INTERNATIONALLY!

But hey! It's got about a 30-year head start on our Goddess!

With the way she's been selling, we don't doubt that the album sales will only CONTINUE to climb, gurl!

Congrats, congrats again!

Did Michael Jackson And Whitney Houston Have A Secret Fling?!

What on Earth?

Reports surfaced a few months back that Whitney Houston was involved in an affair with Jermaine Jackson in 1980s, and now, Michael Jackson's former bodyguard, Matt Fiddles, has revealed that six years later, the late diva also became involved with the also-deceased pop icon during a two-week fling at his Neverland Ranch!

He reveals:

"I loved Michael so much but I finally feel it's time to get everything that horrified and upset me over the years off my chest. I also know this affair will end all the myths that Michael was some kind of child molester - he was a straight man. One of the many stories that has never been told about Michael is that he had an ultra-secret affair with Whitney Houston that he never got over. He was furious when he heard she had also slept with Jermaine but this didn't stop him holding a candle for her his whole life. They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles. They instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other's massive fame. Whitney practically moved in to Michael's ranch (Read more...)

People Want To Buy Michael Jackson’s Surgical Mask For Over $20,000!

Michael Jackson was loved by the people. So much so that people are willing to shell out over $20,000 to have a piece of cloth that he wore on his face.

An auction house has gotten its hands on the King of Pop's black surgical mask that he supposedly wore the night before he died and it has become a VERY hot item.

The sale ends on April 30th, but the highest bid has already reached $21,190 (probably more by now). That's a lot of money, but the auction house officials estimate the buck won't stop there.

The surgical mask, which contains visible traces of the singer's stage make-up and a strand of his hair, is expected to sell for between $50,000 and $150,000!

That is CRAZY! Hopefully some of that money will go to charity because we know that is where MJ would have wanted it to go.

Justin Bieber To Perform With…Elvis?!

Hologram Tupac has definitely sparked a trend, because now it seems EVERY late star is going to be raised from the dead undergo a hologram transformation!

This is all starting to get a bit CRAY!

Though HoloPac will not be joining Dr. Dre on tour, there have recently been talks of Michael Jackson and TLC’s Left Eye getting hologrammed...and now, Elvis wants in on the fun!

Sounds like the folks over at Musion Technology Ltd., the company who brought the Tupac hologram to Coachella, are only getting started!

When asked who’s next, the company’s Head of Music Sanj Surati said bringing Elvis on stage with Justin Bieber "would be a cool thing.”

Hmm...maybe they could "collaborate" on a new duet called Blue Suede Baby??? How about Jailhouse Boyfriend? Ha!

As for other top picks to be made into holographic creations?

Surati revealed:

“Kurt Cobain, oh and Michael Jackson would be the ultimate one. Maybe even Whitney Houston.”

Okay, we can understand MJ, but Whitney, though? TOO SOON!

How long will it be until LIVING artists start using holograms instead of canceling shows and appearances?!

We wonder if this whole hologram trend will (Read more...)
