Celebrity photographer Derek Blanks shot this tribute to Michael Jackson using Teairra Mari as his Alter Ego subject.? Yes…that’s Teairra as both MJ and Ola Ray pretending to get their “Thriller” on. Love it! The surreal thing about these shots is that they were actually captured the day BEFORE Michael died.

Michael Jackson’s memorial service is going on right now as I type. I was going to attempt to live blog it but just can’t do it. Too caught up in emotion. You can also check my Twitter for live updates. I’ll update this post as additional photos become available.
Frankie Lon’s, Keyshia Cole’s bio mom was spotted chilling around Little Five Points last weekend. *sigh* FreddyO should be spanked for following her around with his camera, but she’s more at fault for harassing all those innocent people. I have to admit I was cracking up at the lady with the violin. I wanted her to hit Frankie with that dayum boa, but I guess that would have been too much like right.? No one could restrain Frankie and she even had the nerve to strike out at a stray dog that was in her path.? That’s when I said I’m callin PETA…
About a month or so ago, Frankie had gone missing and family members where afraid she’d had a relapse. Freddy swears to me that Frankie just acts that way all the time and I’ve been around her too so I’ve seen for myself how erratic she behaves. TRUST. This woman is high on something… let’s just hope it’s LOVE since she just got her boo’s name tatted on her back:
Her boo’s name is “Mon” and that’s his “A”zz right thur!!
Lauren London aka Lil Wayne’s Baby Mama #3 (or is it #4….I lost count) was spotted at Diddy’s All-White Party over the holiday weekend. This is the first picture confirming all the baby rumors. Lauren became an honorary ATLien once she appeared in ATL and you all recall that her character “New-New” always rocked the NEW sh*t. Well Lauren’s definitely rocking that pregnant belly like nobody’s business!? I give her about two months before she drops that load. Oh…and by the way, she’s having a boy.? I wonder what Nivea’s having…
These few photos have been revealed to have been Michael Jackson’s final images captured on film.The photo above is from a handout photo provided by AEG/Concerts West and was taken May 6, 2009 as Michael prepared for the “This Is It” London concerts. The photos below were taken during his last concert rehearsal at Staples Center on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
“I am devastated by the sudden loss of ‘The King of Pop,’ who I have photographed numerous times since the Victory Tour in the ’80s. When he hit the stage at rehearsal, I was thrilled that the magical Michael Jackson was BACK!!! I felt the same adrenaline rush as when I photographed him the first time moonwalking. I was so looking forward to shooting the O2 Arena performances with the amazing production that Kenny Ortega and AEG put together with Michael for his fans.”? ~ Kevin Mazur, Celebrity Photographer and Founder of WireImage.com
