Jackson Alma Mater Names Lab After King of Pop
Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood will unveil its new Michael Jackson Music Education Lab on Monday.
The launch of the newly named lab will also feature the new MusIQ program, incorporating Adventus Software for the students of Gardner Street Elementary. The enhanced program will teach students fundamentals of music education, such as elements focusing on composition, arrangement and the ability to read music.
“This is only the second school in California to have this program; it’s the first one in the LA Unified District,” said Lesley Holmes, the founder and chairwoman for the Friends of Gardnerville, the non-profit organization that supports the elementary school and children by creating funding opportunities for educational programs.
The lab will have pictures of Jackson and a signed chalkboard.
“This was a room that Michael Jackson used when he attended the school in the sixth grade. His presence was made in musical contributions,” said Holmes.
The lab was built with donations from various sponsors and The Friends of Gardnerville hope to fully fund the program on their own next year, said Holmes.
This is the second time Jackson has been recognized at the elementary school. The sign on the auditorium, also named after the late superstar, was concealed in the wake of molestation charges against the pop singer. The sign was restored a year after the death of Jackson in June of 2009.

Lindsay Lohan Sued by Crazy Person Who Claims She is a Hooker
Lindsay Lohan hasn’t been dominating the tabloids lately. In fact, she has been quite the model citizen as of late. Even the judge at her progress hearing who told her to keep doing what she is doing.
It is a shame that she is facing a lawsuit by a lunatic Iraq war vet. Thomas A. Green is suing Lohan for $300,000 for “unfair business practices”. He claims that Lohan contacted him on Facebook and expressed interest in an online business he wanted to start. Lindsay Lohan had been banned form Facebook at one point in her life.
Oh he also claimed to be part of the team that killed Osama bin Laden.
Green acknowledges in the suit that he recently has been staying at a homeless shelter and that he suffers from a “depreciated stage of delusion and hallucinations.”
Green says Lohan led him on about the business and in the process of their discussions Lohan revealed her part in the consipracy to kill Osama Bin Laden.
In the lawsuit Green writes,
“[Green] set out to command [Lohan] to twitter and stated if [Lohan] acknowledges this is an Osoma Bin Ladden (sic) op all civillians in past wrong doings will receive clemency.”
He went on to say that he beleives that
“[Lohan] might be a high end prostitute who is responsible for him being stuck in Colorado with no money or set income and a bank account closed.”
Green’s suit will certainly be thrown out of court, but it probably isn’t making Lohan feel any better. She has recently had to run away form her house due to a psychotic fan breaking in.
Do you think Lindsay Lohan is a high end prostitute who helped kill Osama bin Laden?

Lindsay Lohan Pictorial Sells Out; The Leaked Playboy Photos You All Want to See
Like us on Facebook
When the pictures from the January-February issue leaked online, Lohan remained a highly searched term for weeks. Critics said the magazine wouldn’t do well when it hit the newsstand. The leak forced Hefner to release the magazine early and after hearing that additional magazines were being ordered because of the high demand, Hefner took to Twitter to express his excitement.
“The Lindsay Lohan January-February Double Issue is breaking sales records,” Hefner tweeted.
“The Lindsay Lohan Double Issue also includes 2 Centerfolds, the Year In Sex the Playmate Review. Over 200 pages of entertainment,” he followed up with another tweet, throwing a little promotion in the mix.
Hefner told E! News that he had to push Lohan, 25 to go fully naked for the shoot because she was bit hesitant about doing a fully nude shoot. He felt Lohan’s mother, Dina, didn’t want the actress to expose too much for the men’s magazine.
“I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity,” Hefner told E! News. “And I said, ‘We’re doing a nude pictorial here. We’re going to do it in a very classy way and we’re going to do it in a way in which it will not be forgotten.’”
Hefner then came up with idea for a Monroe-inspired shoot, as the first shoot Lohan had done didn’t catch his creative eye.
“The pictorial and the concept for the pictorial came from me,” Hefner told E! “She had done semi-nudes before. I wanted to do something that would be memorable. So what is more natural, since she is a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, than do something that is a tribute to the red velvet, Tom Kelly photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe that was our Rey first Playmate?”
Hefner was pleased with the finished result of the Monroe shoot.
“I think it was accomplished beyond anything I could have possibly imagined,” he told E! News. “People will not forget this pictorial.”
And readers who snagged a copy of the magazine seem to be just as pleased.
“Lindsay I knew you were beautiful but didn’t realize how much until your playboy issue,” one fan tweeted to Hefner, Lohan and Playboy’s Twitter acounts. “Sexy tasteful!”
Another fan alerted Hefner that the magazine had just arrived in Toronto on Dec. 19 and made sure he got himself a copy.
