The singer told us that she was "in talks" about setting up her own imprint, and suggested her work in the music industry may develop into a more behind-the-scenes role, rather than as a singer. "I'm not retiring from music," she said. "I might retire from singing for a bit. I feel like maybe having a bit of a break from doing that and do something else for a while." She added: "I love working in music. I...
Michael Jackson's concert documentary, This Is It, has been warmly received by the late singer's fans after its worldwide premiere. The movie was pieced together from 100 hours of footage shot at rehearsals for the star's ill-fated comeback shows. Fan Darryn Wade, in Los Angeles, said: "Judging by that film, it would have been the best show of all time." But Kasian Daley, 17, at the London premiere, said: "It's an easy way for them to make money off his name." And Mustapha Duggash, 18, from Nigeria, also at the London screening, said: "I believe it's a nice tribute but the main...

Party-rock duo's first headlining jaunt includes support from Shwayze and Lady Gaga DJ Space Cowboy. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1624734/20091026/lmfao.jhtml Somewhere out there — likely buried underneath a sticky, shot-soaked mound of fur coats, DayGlo T-shirts with Frankie Goes to Hollywood-style party-encouragement mantras and lots of brightly colored shorts — are the members of LMFAO. And while it might not seem like it from the dazed looks on their faces, they're probably hard at work finalizing the talent lineup for their first headlining outing, the soon-to-launch Party...
