The paper itself is ragged and roughed up, filled with crossed-out words and changes.

-A surprise Jay-Z performance outside David Letterman’s studio will not happen on Monday. A permit was not granted for the concert by New York City officials.
-A future reunion for Jay-Z’s wife (Beyonce) and the other Destiny’s Child ladies will also not happen. Ex-manager Matthew Knowles squashed all rumors about a performance or an album.
-According to one person “A Day in the Life” was worth $1.2 million. That’s how much handwritten lyrics to the John Lennon-penned song were sold for this week.
-Please don’t let me be misunderstood. Mary J. Blige will be playing Nina Simone in a movie about the singer’s life. Shooting on Nina will start this fall.
-Sophie B. Hawkins (remember her?) is donating all proceeds from her song “The Land, the Sea and the Sky” to help clean-up efforts in the Gulf area. The song is available on iTunes.

Michael Jackson Glove Sells for $49,000
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Pop,
One of Michael Jackson‘s gloves has sold for $49,000.
The famous jewel-encrusted accessory, which the late pop icon wore during his 1996 wedding to Debbie Rowe, was bought by Las Vegas Hard Rock curator Warwick Stone at an auction in Australia.
“Michael Jackson gave it to someone in public in Australia and most collectors of Michael Jackson memorabilia knew about this glove,” Warwick said. “I’ve got the chain that used to hang around Sid Vicious’ neck, I’ve got one of Elvis’ .357 magnums which he used to shoot TVs with.”
The right-hand glove was the first of Michael’s gloves to go on sale since his June 25 death, although three more are due to go under the hammer in America this year.
