Michael Jackson Tribute Concert To Be Hosted By Jamie Foxx

While the show has not yet added any more big names, the upcoming Michael Forever Tribute concert, honoring the legacy of late pop icon Michael Jackson, now has an award-winning host. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx has signed on to emcee the October 8 concert in Cardiff, Wales.

The show, which is being put together by Jackson's mother, Katherine, as well as a few of the late King of Pop's siblings — but not the singer's estate — is slated to feature performances by Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Ne-Yo, Craig David, Pixie Lott, Alexandra Burke, Alien Ant Farm and Motown legend Smokey Robinson.

And though Beyoncé was added to the bill recently, some fans were upset to subsequently learn that the pregnant pop queen will not perform live via satellite as originally promised but appear in a pretaped segment described as a "special contribution on video."

In addition, some Jackson followers on the Fans Against Michael Forever Tribute Facebook page have expressed their anger that promoters announced an upcoming two-for-one ticket deal to goose reportedly slow sales. According to reports, the discounted prices will not apply to tickets already purchased for the event; conflicting reports also stated that the two-for-one deal had been rescinded. A spokesperson for the event told MTV News that there would be no two-for-one ticket package.

Some disgruntled posters have also complained that the show's promoter, Global Live Events, is reportedly censoring negative fan comments on the show's official page. There has also been grumbling from some of Jackson's siblings — including Janet, Jermaine and Randy — and fans about the timing of the show, which will take place in the midst of the manslaughter trial of Jackson's physician Dr. Conrad Murray.

In a week's time, J. Cole jumped from hip-hop's bench to the starting lineup when he released his debut Cole World: The Sideline Story, and now Billboard is reporting that the Roc Nation MC is poised to have the #1 record on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week. Early estimations have Cole pushing as many as 250,000 copies in his first week, and the Jay-Z protégé has taken to Twitter to express his appreciation.

"Yall sold out so many stores today. iTunes it for now, stores will re-up tomorrow. We on pace. Much Love," he wrote on Tuesday, and then, "Cole World. Best fans in the Whole World" on Wednesday.

Melodic singles like "Work Out" and "Can't Get Enough," with Trey Songz, for sure put Cole in the consciousness of casual rap fans, but it seems that much of the North Carolina lyricist's appeal is in his introspective album cuts. "Dollar and a Dream III," "Sideline Story" and the cautionary "Lost Ones" provide lyrical depth to Cole's debut opus.

Regardless of which individual songs fans prefer, it is clear that the album is an overall hit. For Cole, actually getting the album in stores after a series of delays since he was signed in 2009 is an accomplishment in itself. "Even talking about it right now, I'm getting a little emotional because I can remember going to get so many albums and just the fact that mines is one of those," Cole told MTV2's Sucker Free about his album release. "To me, that'll be the real incredible feeling, like all the things I've been through will finally be worth it because we made it to that."

'Glee'-Cap: Kurt Embraces His Inner Unicorn

But does he really have to face off against boyfriend Blaine for the lead in the play?
By Jim Cantiello

"Glee" was back to its identity-crisis ways Tuesday, switching up ages, story lines and emotions in the latest episode, "I Am Unicorn." But why talk about it when we can sing about it? To the musical "Glee"-cap!

I wish "Glee" made up its mind
They change the rules and it's unkind
Ryan Murphy first told the press that Blaine's older
But now he is a year behind

It's hard to keep my bearings straight
And oh, how it makes my heart ache
Kurt and Blaine were gonna move to New York together
But now they'll have to wait

F--- you, "Glee," this makes no sense
You're messing with my Klaine and I'm incensed
Now they're rivals for the lead in the play
If only Kurt can tone down the gay

No way!

Screw you, "Glee," why hurt your fans?
I need a Ph.D. in bullsh-- to understand
The show can't be fantasy
While also grounded in harsh reality
That means a battle over custody
Doesn't appeal to me

Just sayin'

Another chorus has begun
Sugar's dad supplies the funds
Don't get too attached, you know what'll happen
By November she'll be gone
[cough] Charice [cough]

We are Gleeks, we see it all!
You can't pull a fast one between spring and fall
Last year Bieste talked gender themes
Now she's laughing at Kurt for being a queen — puh-leaze!

Damn you, "Glee," in the end you're right
The big music numbers shined oh so bright
Rachel singing with her estranged mom
Holy crap, look at his arms!

Kurt's audition's full of charm
And so plucky!
He's a bendable son of a gun
Blaine's so lucky!

I get it, "Glee" writers, you need conflict
Just make it consistent and I'll give a sh--
One last request: Make Shelby go away

Entitled Gleek!

What did you think of the latest "Glee"? Let us know in the comments below — no singing required!

Pet Tags

Man, I'm so irritated.

I just received four pets tags that I ordered for Bev and Mary Margaret (two for Brooklyn and two for LA) and they're all messed up. Not only did they leave off the "Margaret" on Mary Margaret's tags, but the text isn't centered correctly and runs off the right side on all four of them. (The last letter of the address is cut in half.) The tags themselves are also ugly. The edges aren't smoothed out... they look like someone just cut them from a piece of sheet metal and called it a day.

So anyway, I got them this morning on my way to Starbucks (yesterday's mail), so while I was there, I started drafting a strongly-worded letter in my head, like what I was going to say to these people when I sent them back.

And then I saw it.

In tiny print on the bottom of the invoice it said, "Our handicapped employees appreciate your order."

So now I can't send them back. If I did I'd be a total asshole.

I'm just going to order new ones from someplace else. Any recommendations?

Need more Britney Spears amped-up club tracks in your life? Well, the Femme Fatale singer has your back. Britney tweeted her plan to release a remix album next month.

B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2 will drop on October 11, and the singer had this to say about the release: "Exciting news people ... new remix album is coming out on 10/11! Pumped for you to hear these tracks - I love them."

The album will feature reworked versions of 10 of her songs, both from Femme Fatale and her previous work. The songs are: "Gimme More" (Kaskade Club Mix), "Piece of Me" (Tiësto Club Mix), "Radar" (Tonal Club Remix), "Womanizer" (Benny Benassi Extended), "Circus" (Linus Loves Remix), "If U Seek Amy" (U-Tern Remix), "3" (Manhattan Clique Club Remix), "Till the World Ends" (Alex Suarez Club Remix), "I Wanna Go" (Gareth Emery Remix) and "Criminal" (Varsity Team Remix).

Spears dropped the first part of the B in the Mix series back in November 2005. On that record, folks like Justice, Bill Hamel, Junkie XL and Jason Nevins, to name a few, put their spin on major releases and under-the-radar tracks including "Me Against the Music," "Touch of My Hand," "And Then We Kiss" and "Early Mornin'."

The news comes as Britney preps the release of her next single, the Femme Fatale slow jam "Criminal," which made the track listing for B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2. Spears also recently tweeted that she's shooting the video for "Criminal" in England.
