Want a ticket to the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday? Log on, enter your name and hope for the best. Everybody else will have to watch it on television or on their computer screens.

Organizers of the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles are giving out 17,500 free tickets to randomly selected fans who register on the venue's Web site, officials said Friday at a news conference.

Those who can't get the precious tickets – 11,000 in the Staples Center and another 6,500 to watch on big screens at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live across the street – can watch a live worldwide television feed being provided free to networks or on streaming video on the Web.

Organizers are using a wristband system to crack down on scalpers.

"This is a memorial. I'm hoping that people have dignity. We're doing our best to accommodate the worldwide demand," said Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of AEG, which owns the Staples Center. "For those who would try to take advantage of this, shame on them."

No details of the memorial were released, except that there will be no funeral procession. "It is still being developed," said Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine. He added: "Everything about the memorial has to do with accommodating as many fans as possible. ... It is all about the fans."

Jan Perry, a Los Angeles city councilwoman, said fans who do not get tickets "might want to consider watching this from the comfort of your own home." The ceremony will not be shown outside the venue on any of the jumbo screens.

The registration for tickets will end at 6 p.m. Saturday, when 8,750 names are drawn randomly for two tickets each to either the Staples Center or Nokia Theatre. Those getting tickets will be notified on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. with instructions on picking up tickets and wristbands.

Calvin Klein auglysingaskilti í SoHo NYC vekur mikla athygli osfv......

Denim design house Calvin Klein can add another controversy to its lengthy legacy of pushing the envelope. CK has come under fire for a sexually suggestive billboard it perched atop a busy intersection in New York City’s trendy SoHo neighborhood this week.

The giant 50-foot-tall billboard advertising Calvin Klein jeans, features two young men and a young woman entangled half-clothed (a male and female kissing) as a third man lays at their feet, either undressing or putting his pants back on, ABC News writes.

Some neighborhood residents are so disturbed by the racy billboard that they are vowing to boycott the often-edgy designer.

“Not only the billboard, but a company — a corporate giant in America — feels it appropriate to put a semi-nude photograph in a major billboard in a high-traffic area where tens of thousands of children see this kind of activity going on,” said Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the American Family Association, a Christian organization that promotes preservation of traditional values.

Zac Efron was “ecstatic” to learn that Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford has been chosen to replace him in Paramount Picture’s upcoming motion picture remake of Footloose.

“I’m ecstatic for him. We’re both in very different places and it just happened to work out. I think it’s gonna work out for the best.”

The 17 Again star — best known for his role as Troy in Disney’s High School Musical franchise — dropped out of the film earlier this year, citing fears that he would become typecast in musical roles.

Hress ţessi snákamađur

What goes in must come out, so the saying goes. That's exactly what happened when an Indian man tried to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by feeding two live grass snake into his nostrils and taking them out through his mouth.

C Manoharan,25, who is better known as Snake Manu, says he is particularly partial to baby cobras.

 

 

It's not the first time he's performed stomach-churning stunts like this. Last November, Manu claimed a place in the Guinness Book of Records in the 'most eaten worms in 30 seconds' category after he managed to swallow 200 wriggling earthworms each measuring at least 10cm.

through nostrils and mouth

He claims to have experimented with almost all varieties of snakes, including cobras, common kraits, sand boas and rat snakes.

He says his favourite is the cobra because of its ferocious agility.

Manu, a high school drop-out, said that as an eight-year-old he would amuse his classmates by inserting chalk and erasers into his nostrils and pulling them out through his mouth.

When he turned 18 he started sniffing around snakes and his first attempt was with a half dead water snake.
