Michael Jackson's 'One More Chance'
The mighty one we all know as the King of Pop, Michael
Jackson has just made his latest yet-to-be-released
single available for download on his official website, michaeljackson.com.
The song entitled 'One More Chance'
is co-written and produced by troubled in the news R&B star
R. Kelly (who's still being
investigated for child pornography) and will be featured on Jackson's
upcoming set called Number Ones
due out November 18th.
The concept is that all tracks listed on the set were formally
No. 1 hits for the former 'gloved' star and the compilation will
feature in all 18 tracks, including the monster hits 'Thriller',
and 'Smooth Criminal' as well
as the latest number ones 'You Rock My
World' and 'Break of Dawn'
(both from his previous release 'Invincible')
Also on the cards is a DVD that will include 15 songs with accompanying
videos. In addition, Jackson will appear in an hour-long CBS-TV
special that will air sometime next month (near Thanksgiving).

Will
Downing offers 'A Million Ways' to listen
 Sultry
smooth jazz vocalist Will Downing
has just released his latest single, a tune called 'A
Million Ways To Love A Woman' from his brand-new album
entitled Emotions. The single
was penned by R&B crooner Joe,
who's latest effort 'More and More'
is steadily climbing the Billboard R&B
Charts as we speak.
Downing says he loved the tune the first time he heard it: "I
heard this song and I just knew it was gonna be an R&B hit
you know, I thought it was a smash. I still think it's a smash.
I think it's a great song lyrically, I think it's got a great
tempo to it -- I feel like I'm on (American) Bandstand: It's got
a great beat and you can dance to it!"
Downing says that part of the song's appeal is certainly the lyrics,
which give men a more clear idea about how to keep their partners
happy. Said Downing: "I think that the song offers up options,
let me put it that way. A lot of times, when you talk to women
and they refer to men, they say, you know, men think if they put
it down in the bedroom, that's all they have to do to make me
happy.' And a lot of times men feel that way themselves. So with
a song like 'A Million Ways,'
it gives you other options, it makes you kind of open up your
mind and be a little bit more adventurous in trying to make your
lady happy."
Downing will perform in a special holiday show with saxophonist
Gerald Albright (who also
appears on Emotions) and acoustic
duo Tuck & Patti. They
show called Home For The Holidays,
takes place December 16th and 17th, at the Cerritos
Center for the Performing Arts in Cerritos, California.

Tupac's
life (in his own words) 'Resurrected' on the big screen
-
Though controversy constantly
surrounded Tupac when he was here with us, one thing that can
be said for him is that he didn't lead a dull life and always
spoke his mind. Since his death in 1996, the rapper has become
more infamous now selling more records after his death than
when he was alive. And even though the circumstances of his
murder remain clouded in suspicion and mystery, some strongly
believe the rapper is still alive and well and is living in
the Bahamas.
Well come next month a new ducumovie about the rapper's life
will hit theaters and this this one will see the rapper tell
his story in his own words. There
have been many documentaries on Shakur, but this is the first
and only film that has been made in collaboration with Afeni
Shakur, his mother.
Throughout the nearly 2 hour long documentary, viewers will
only hear Tupac's voice, as he recalls the accounts of his life
told through his words and music. Produced by his mother Afina,
it paints a picture of a true 'thug's' life through different
situation and choices.
The documentary will
contain never-before-seen concert footage, private home movies
and excerpts from Tupac's poetry and journals. The soundtrack
will be released on the same day as the film and will feature
a collaboration with the late Notorious
B.I.G. (Runnin'),
Eminem, 50
Cent, and Tupac himself with tracks that are featured
in the film, plus new material from the rapper's early work.
Tupac was a lyrical genius,
addressing political and social issues through his songs,
he remains one of the biggest selling artist in the world,
and it is through his music and film that he is truly resurrected.
The film opens November 14th

Tyrese
educates the young on money management
 Soul
singer Tyrese recently returned
to his alma mater Grape Street Elementary
School in his native Los Angeles to help educate
children about something the singer and actor knows a lot about:
money.
Sponsored by Operation
Hope, part of the Banking
On Our Future Across America program to teach financial
literacy to third, fourth and fifth graders nationwide, Tyrese
spoke to them in regards to the goods and the evil of money
- "My biggest
point is that a lot of people want to be stars, but it's one
thing to get in the door, it's another thing to maintain,"
said Tyrese, surrounded by students in the school's library.
"We're here to instill the truth and reality about finances
into these kids.
"If your mom doesn't
understand these things and your dad doesn't understand them,
it falls to the kids to break the cycle," he continued.
"It's an all new language for them, but now's the time
to start. If I had this knowledge then, I would be a lot more
financially set than I am now."
The founder of Operation
Hope - John Bryant, stressed
the importance of teaching kids the basic banking needs such
as how to open and maintain checking and savings accounts, the
value of credit and the importance of investments.
"Predatory lenders
and unscrupulous check-cashing companies target the economically
uneducated and the economically unempowered," says Bryant.
"We can choose to run them out of business by not giving
them your business." You can learn more about the program
