birthday celebrations
Michael Jackson, who died in June 2009, would have been 55 today.
Though the King of Pop died four years ago at the age of 50, Twitter was full of birthday greetings and retrospectives of the late singer.

Also, producer Timbaland (Timothy Zachery Mosley) hinted at a new project that could include Michael Jackson’s vocals. In a teaser initially posted on YouTube’s Revolt TV channel, Timbaland talked about being approached by Epic Records executive L.A. Reid about a project that “would be like two kings working together.” Timbaland never mentions Michael Jackson’s name, but the singer’s image appears throughout the clip, which has appeared in several third-party versions since the original was removed from YouTube.
To celebrate his August 29 birth, Sony Music Entertainment is encouraging fans to share birthday wishes — and ideas for making the world a better place — by uploading an Instagram photo or video with hashtags #MJBDay or #MjWeAreOne.

Chris Brown has confirmed he and Rihanna are taking a break from one another after she was absent from his birthday celebrations all weekend.
“I’m always going to love that person … [but] I can’t be focused on wife-ing someone that young – I need to step forward and be a man and be the best Chris Brown I can be,” Chris Brown, 24, said on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show.

“Live and you f***ing learn!” the singer tweeted Monday morning.
“I’m just focus on my music.”
“I mean at the end of the day, [Rihanna] is doing her own thing, she’s on the road,” he told the Australian radio hosts.
“It’s always gonna be love – I’m a grown man, just gotta fast forward.”
“I’m just trying to have, you know, the best time and basically celebrate with all my fans and all the people in the club,” Chris Brown explained.
Showing Chris Brown what he’s missing, Rihanna posted a picture with her gal pals Cara Delevigne and Georgia May Jagger on Sunday: “Yup! We definitely have more fun!! #blondelife #backstagebehavior @caradelevingne @georgiamayjagger.”
On Saturday, Chris Brown continued his 24th birthday bender at 1 OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas, where he wound up shirtless, smoking cigarettes and drinking the night away.

Chris Brown celebrated his 24th birthday for a second night and he did not seem to be missing Rihanna.
Chris Brown continued his birthday bender on Saturday night at 1 OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas, where he wound up shirtless, smoking cigarettes and drinking the night away.
He brought an entourage of friends to the club where they took over the DJ booth and made the place their own until 5 a.m.

Chris Brown started the night off dressed in a rather civilized all-black hooded ensemble.
He posed outside of the 1 OAK Nightclub, sunglasses on and ready to party.
Chris Brown is said to have signed a lucrative deal with the club, which may be what brought him to the venue for the second round of his birthday celebrations.
Later in the night, the raging began when Chris Brown rid himself of the hooded sweater revealing a black singlet.
He popped a cigarette in his mouth and seemingly took control of the DJ booth whilst his friends partied it up at a VIP table.
It was not long before even the singlet became too much, so Chris Brown tore it off and danced raucously above the crowd with a group of friends, including a horde of excited women.
There was almost always a cigarette and drink in hand as singer partied for hours.
Chris Brown, who seems to have regained control of his Twitter account after having it suspended, gave all the gory details of what seems to have been a rather intense night of partying.
“Do too wasted at the party. Threw up crazy!! Lol!” he tweeted, giving away a little too much information.
Meanwhile, Chris Brown’s on-again-off-again girlfriend Rihanna enjoyed her own celebration – at a basketball game.
Rihanna looked glamorous in a slinky black outfit and sexy black lace-up heels as she sat courtside to watch the Chicago Bulls play against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
She is currently in New York on her Diamonds World Tour… hence her inability to attend round one and two of Chris Brown’ s celebrations.
But if what the singer tweeted last week is anything to go by, a party with Rihanna may be next on his list.
“LA, VEGAS, NEW YORK! Celebrating this WEEK on to the next week! #birthdayturnup,” Chris Brown tweeted last Thursday.
While the US and South Korea were on high alert for a missile launch on Thursday, North Korea was celebrating its ruling Kim dynasty and appeared to tone down rhetoric of impending war.
Despite threats it will attack US bases and the South in response to any hostile acts, North Korea started to welcome a stream of visitors for Monday’s birthday celebrations of its founding father, Kim Il-sung.
Performers carry a flag at the opening of the April Spring People’s Art Festival at the East Pyongyang Grand Theater on April 11.
The festival opened Thursday to mark late president Kim Il-sung’s birthday on April 15, known in North Korea as the Day of the Sun. In the background are portraits of late North Korean leaders Kim Il-sung and his son, Kim Jong-il.
Meanwhile Pyongyang issued a statement that appeared to be tinged with regret over the closure of the joint Kaesong industrial zone that was shuttered when it ordered its workers out this week, terming the North-South Korean venture “the pinnacle of General Kim Jong-il’s limitless love for his people and brothers”.
The statement on North Korea’s KCNA news agency blamed South Korean President Park Geun-hye for bringing the money-spinning venture to “the brink of shutting down.”

Kim Jong-il, Kim Il-sung’s son, ruled North Korea until his death in December 2011. He was succeeded by Kim Jong-un, the third of his line to preside over one of the world’s poorest and most heavily militarized countries.
Since taking office, Kim Jong-un, 30, has staged two long-range rocket launches and a nuclear weapons test. The nuclear test in February triggered UN sanctions that Pyongyang has termed a hostile act and a precursor to invasion.
For over a month, North Korea has issued an almost daily series of threats to the US and South Korea, most recently warning foreigners to leave the South due to an impending “thermonuclear” war.
Apart from the swipe at South Korea’s new president, verbal threats appeared to fall off as KCNA listed arrivals for the upcoming birthday celebrations, naming an eclectic mix ranging from Chinese businessmen to Cold War-era enthusiasts of its socialist monarchy and official ideology of “Juche,” or self-reliance.
Reinforcing the rule of the Kim dynasty and the legitimacy of Kim Jong-un to hold power in Pyongyang is a key tenet of North Korea’s ideology.
It was the first anniversary on Thursday of Kim Jong-un’s official ascent to power, although he became de-facto leader immediately after his father’s death.
Key North Korean anniversaries:
11 April – Kim Jong-un elected first secretary of the Workers’ Party, and late father Kim Jong-il named General Secretary for Eternity in 2012
13 April – Kim Jong-un appointed first chairman of the National Defence Commission in 2012
15 April – Birthday of state founder Kim Il-sung (15 April 1912- 8 July 1994)
