Tony Bennett — Drugs Should Be Legal After Whitney, Michael and Amy’s Deaths
Speaking just hours after the passing of Whitney Houston, legendary singer Tony Bennett said he feels with the rash of celebrity deaths recently … it’s time to legalize drugs.
Bennett performed at the Beverly Hilton last night Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party, in an evening dedicated to Houston. Bennett told the crowd, “First it was Michael Jackson, then Amy Winehouse, now the magnificent Whitney Houston. Let’s legalize drugs, like Amsterdam, it’s a very sane city now.”
Davis, Houston’s mentor and producer, remembered her by saying, “Whitney was a beautiful person and she had a talent beyond compare. She graced this stage … so many times. So simply put: Whitney would have wanted the music to go on.”
Jennifer Hudson is scheduled to perform a tribute in Houston’s honor at tonight’s Grammy Awards.
Darren Criss Tributes Michael Jackson In “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”
Darren Criss obviously knows how to dance — after all, he had to show off his moves nightly during his three-week run in the Broadway show How To Succeed — but we had no idea he knew how to dance. Blaine is the lead Gleek in this performance clip of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”, from Glee’s upcoming tribute episode to Michael Jackson, and we have to say, he fills the Gloved One’s shoes pretty well. Watch Darren take on the King of Pop below.
Though we’re impressed by Criss being able to recreate much of Jackson’s legendary choreography (bonus points for the crotch grab; negative points for no moonwalk), we were temporarily distracted by the dead animal perched on top of Kurt’s head. Wait, that’s a hat?
Glee’s Michael Jackson tribute episode, “Michael”, airs on Fox Tuesday January 31. Check out more preview pics from the episode in our gallery.
