MJ dies at 50, Manson whines, the Killers cover and Jonas top the charts

Michael Jackson, the enigmatic, legendary and irreplaceable King Of Pop, has died. He was 50 years old.

Jackson is reported to have died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home. Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times that paramedics responded to a 911 call at 12:26 p.m. He wasn't breathing when paramedics arrived, and was pronounced dead after being rushed to the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

 

The star had been rehearsing for a massive comeback tour that was planned to kick off with a sold-out, 50-show stint at London's O2 Arena. Read more on the legend here

 


 

Jonas Brothers have landed their second #1 album in less than a year, with Lines, Vines and Trying Times debuting atop the Billboard 200 with 247,000 copies sold. The brother trio's last studio effort, A Little Bit Longer, easily hit #1 last August, when it started with 525,000 sold at the height of Jonas Mania. Judging by the looks on the faces of all three, I'd have said this jig is just about up for the J3 (you like that?), but with this latest #1 I stand corrected. 

 

The Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. moves down a notch to #2, selling 148,000 (down 51%). Dave Matthews Band's Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King drops into the #3 spot with 88,000 (down 31%) while Eminem's Relapse is in fourth place with 72,000 (down 17%).

 

Incubus' terrific greatest hits collection Monuments and Melodies starts at #5 on the charts with 70,000. Check out our review here.

 


 

 

Charity Buzz is auctioning off the chance to have lunch with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan in either Los Angeles or Chicago. The winner of the auction will also pay for lunch, because that's just how awesome Billy Corgan is. Right? Right?

 

The meal is "Valid for 2 people at a mutually convenient time. Restaurant TBD." The auction ends on June 30th at 1:17 p.m. ET. The current high bid is $950, to pick at croutons and listen to the bald one whine nasally about how nobody appreciates his genius anymore.

 

Proceeds benefit the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which is raising money to build a museum in New York.


 

Pete Wentz tweeted this week that Fall Out Boy's last album, Folie a Deux, may be their "swan song". Wentz now says that, even though the band has no intention of splitting up, they'll be the ones deciding when they write new music - and that may mean never. Don't hold your breath for this humble writer to reach for the kleenex.

 

He said: "No, we're not calling it quits, but we've no future album plans right now. We can't quit, we're waiting to get fired. I think it's all in context. There aren't any new Fall Out Boy songs because we don't write for the sake of it. We will stop doing Fall Out Boy when it stops being fun."

 


 

 

 Marilyn Manson can't possibly understand the controversy around "Pretty As A Swastika", a track from his latest album The High End Of Low.

 

He said: "It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record. And it's entertainment, it's music, but that doesn't mean it has no value. But it's just ironic that they can sell a CD in a store, and they won't put the title 'Pretty As a Swastika' on the cover, but at the same store they'll have Valkyrie, for example, which has a swastika on the cover. Now, I'm not even using the symbol, I'm using the word, so the record company sort of created a new curse word, by default, for me. "

 

He added: "The fact that the record company says that they can't put that song on the record. Crazy. So I say, 'Well OK, don't put the album out.' And they just don't know what to say. And it's great to be able to have that kind of attitude. When someone makes you a product and you're not in control of it anymore, you feel like a whore, like someone who's being beaten up and pushed around."

 

In other words, the world is sick of the tired spooky clown, and the clown isn't happy about it. End scene.
