If “This Is It” does get the nod it will be the first documentary in Oscar history to make the Best Picture nominations list.

About Michael Jackson: From the Moonwalk and single sequined glove of "Billie Jean" to the zombie dance of "Thriller" to the Anti-Gravity Lean of "Smooth Criminal." Often imitated, but never duplicated, Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and he'll be cherished as one of the most irreplaceable pop culture figures of all-time. A singer, dancer, songwriter, humanitarian, and full-time celebrity curiosity, Michael Jackson might never have been truly understood as a person, but when his vocal hiccups and stellar dance routines did the talking, his millions of unwavering fans supported him for all time.
Michael Jackson lived and breathed timeless music as the lead singer of The Jackson 5 before going solo. It was there that he used "Billie Jean" to give MTV its popularity, created the biggest-selling album ever made (Thriller) and transformed music videos into short films that included collaborators from Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes to Marlon Brando and Martin Scorsese. A two-time entrant into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Michael Jackson's legacy includes 17 No. 1 songs, 13 Grammy Awards, numerous Guinness World Records, and a fan base that knows no borders.
Michael Jackson's later years were somewhat overshadowed by bizarre behavior and allegations of criminal activity in his private life, but the part of his legacy that will speak the loudest is his music, both from him and the many artists including Madonna, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake who idolized him. The worldwide outpouring of grief after his death was a reaction not seen since the deaths of John Lennon and Elvis Presley, and global anticipation by fans eager to catch a glimpse of his final concert rehearsal footage in Michael Jackson's This Is It was further proof that his following remained as strong as ever.
Omer Bhatti, a 25-year-old Norwegian rapper, is alleged to be the secret son of Michael Jackson, the result of a rumored one-night stand with Pia Bhatti, a Norwegian fan, in 1984.
According to reports, Omer has been introduced to Michael and impressed the singer with his dance moves in 1996. He lived at Neverland Island with the king of pop and his family for a few years since 1997. Michael reportedly told his close friends several years ago that he fathered Omer.
Omer was sat on the front row with The Jackson Family at the singer’s memorial concert on July 7. Now he is said to have asked for a DNA test to prove if he is the love child of the legendary star.
If he is, the 25-year-old would be the oldest brother of Michael's three children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris Michael, 11, and Prince Michael II, aka Blanket, 7.
Here is a video of Omer Bhatti aka O-bee’s performacne, The Beginning. Check out the clip below:
La Toya Jackson previously recorded the track named Home for the Startin' Over album in 2002 as a tribute to her family.

The single is being available for download on iTunes from July 28.

Michael Jackson had a long-time “secret girlfriend” whom he loved and adored but kept hidden from the world, MJ’s former bodyguard Matt Fiddes spilled the beans last week, but refused to name her, saying "it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information”.
Now the mystery woman has been identified as his children’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba.
Grace, the Ugandan-born 42-year-old, started as the Michael Jackson’s assistant in 1991 but became his children's nanny later. The couple fell in love as time went on. The romance between the king of pop and Grace was reportedly an open secret among Jackson’s staff.
"Grace loved Michael and he loved her. The kids called her ‘Mom’." Ian Barkley, Michael’s personal photographer for three years, was quoted as saying.

Another Michael’s bodyguard told Mirror that “Matt was referring to Grace. They were more like a married couple than employer and employee. Grace was the closest person to Michael and the kids. She will be broken-hearted. The children were always their first priority and like any couple they would row if they disagreed about how they were being brought up. But the difference between Grace and the other women in Michael's life was that she had absolutely no interest in fame.”
"It was something she actively avoided and Michael was determined to keep her and their relationship out of the public gaze. The romance was well known among staff but it was made very clear to them that this was not something that should be part of the public domain." he added.
Michael Jackson “ghost” was believed to have appeared in a footage of Larry King Live show now circulated online. In the video above, a ghost-like figure which looked like Michael Jackson was seen walking across the corridor. The “ghost” of Michael Jackson was caught on camera when a CNN TV crew was given a tour of Neverland Ranch by King of Pop’s long-term friend Miko Brando.
Do you believe in that the figure could be Michael's spirit?
Madonna will kick off the second leg of her 'Sticky And Sweet' tour Saturday night, July 4 at the O2 Arena in London.
The queen of pop, who was originally expected to join Michael Jackson on stage during one of his 50 dates at London's O2, will take this opportunity to pay a public tribute to the late king of pop.
These are the two pictures taken during last night's dress rehearsals released on Madge’s website.
Update: Check out the video of Madonna Michael Jackson Tribute at the Sticky And Sweet tour at London's O2 on July 4th, 2009.
Michael Jackson’s final rehearsal footage has been released.
The King of Pop, who was preparing for his 50-date This Is It concert tour at London’s O2 arena, looked well and happy as he performed one of his many hits, They Don’t Really Care About Us, during rehearsal at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on June 23.
The legendary musician passed away on June 25 after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest.
Arnold Klein, the dermatologist of Michael Jackson, is being claimed as the biological father of Prince Michael I and Paris Michael II, the two kids Debbie Rowe had for the King of Pop.
"He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth." a Jackson insider told Us Weekly.
Debbie, who met Jackson when she was then a nurse assistant working for Arnold Klein in the 1980s, had reportedly admitted in 2002 that she carried his children as a personal favor. "I said, 'Let me do this. You need to be a dad. You have been so good to me”, she was quoted as saying.
Another shocking revelation is that Debbie is not the biological mother of Prince and Paris. She was simply used as the surrogate, and paid to carry the children.
And Prince Michael II (nicknamed Blanket), the youngest son of Jacson, was also not the biological son of the late pop icon, the Hollyscoop reported.
The King of Pop was severely emaciated, almost bald, and badly disfigured at the time he died at his rented Los Angeles home last Thursday June 25, according to The Sun.
Here are some details of the late pop icon’s autopsy report:
*The 5ft 10in star weighed just 112 pounds. His stomach was empty except for some partially dissolved prescription pills.
*He was almost bald with only “peach fuzz” covering his scalp. He was reportedly wearing a wig at the time of his death. The bridge of his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.
*He was dotted with needle wounds on his hips, thighs and shoulders, believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers he took three times a day for years. And a mass of surgery scars that suggest he had at least 13 cosmetic operations.
*His ribs were broken by CPR as paramedics tried to revive the singer after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. And 4 injection sites near his heart were found, apparently the result of a failed attempt to pump adrenaline directly into the organ to restart it.
"Michael’s family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in,” a source close to the Jackson camp said.
"He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for years.”
Michael Jackson’s sister and father, Janet Jackson and Joe Jackson, attended the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Sunday night.
During her brief appearance at the event, Janet gave an emotional statement on her brother, Michael Jackson, who passed away Thursday June 25 at the age of 50.
"My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was too painful… To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much," the 43-year-old singer said tearfully.
After that, host Jamie Foxx performed a duet of the Jackson 5's I'll Be There with singer-songwriter Ne-Yo to pay tribute to the late pop icon.
