This Is it Michael Jackson Tickets

This Is it Michael Jackson Tickets
A month prior to the theatrical screening of "This Is It", Sony Pictures has made available the tickets to the special Michael Jackson documentary. Starting on Sunday, September 27, the tickets to the limited two-week engagement are offered for purchase at the documentary's web site, thisisit-movie.com. The movie documenting the King of Pop's final performance rehearsals days before his death will debut simultaneously in 15 cities around the globe on October 28, but a sneak peek will be presented at the new Regal Cinemas Stadium 14 the night before on October 27. The Associated Press, in the meantime, reported that the advance screenings have been sold out. 3,000 tickets to the Los Angeles shows have been snatched by fans within two hours early Sunday.
"'This Is It' may go down as the greatest concert no one got a chance to see," the movie's director and Michael's longtime collaborator, Kenny Ortega, promised. "But with this film we get a rare portrait of Michael as he prepares for his final curtain call." Jeff Blake, Sony's worldwide marketing and distribution chairman, added, "Michael Jackson has an army of fans everywhere round the world. By rolling out this film simultaneously worldwide, we are giving audiences an incredible opportunity to join together in celebration of Michael Jackson's incredible career."
"This Is It" offers a behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson preparing for a series of the O2 London shows he was rehearsing when he died June 25. It will compile more than 100 hours of video footage concert promoter AEG Live shot during April, May and June 2009. Reuters claimed that a source close to the project has mentioned the planned 3-D sequence for the movie will not make it into the final reel.

Jenny Slate Fired

Jenny Slate Fired
The new 'Saturday Night Live' cast member that dropped the F-Bomb this weekend will NOT have to worry about a different F-word: "Fired". Jenny Slate was performing in her first show as a cast member of 'SNL', when she got a little too into character in a sketch called "Biker Chick Chat" and said the word some call "the mother of all swear words".

That caused some speculation that Slate's first show would be her last, but an NBC spokeswoman says she will NOT be fired. The slip was not seen here, they dubbed in a different word for the west coast broadcast. It's not the first time the word has slipped on the show. Comic Charles Rocket did the same thing in 1981, when he was a new cast member. But he was fired the next week, had a rough time in show business after that, and killed himself in 2005.
The Brooklyn funny lady, Tehran-born, raised in California comedian, and SNL newbie has attracted a lot of attention when she dropped an f-bomb, apparently by accident. She was in the middle of a SNL skit when she let go of a sentence; “You stood up for yourself, and I f—ing love you for that.” Over the years, people have been fired for saying these things on live TV, including Charles Rocket in 1981 and Norm MacDonald in 1997. No news yet on if Jenny Slate is being fired for her slip of the tongue.
