Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has reportedly tried to make contact with his ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, during a recent seance she attended.

Michael's former makeup artist Karen Faye, revealed that she and Lisa used a psychic last week to contact the King Of Pop.

Karen told The Sun: "He seemed to be on a mission to reach out to people in his life and be forgiven. Michael spent his time explaining his faults and wanting us to forgive him. He seemed unsettled.

"He seemed more jovial with Lisa. The psychic turned to me and said Michael is telling me, 'You took such good care of me, and I am so sorry I hurt you so much'.

"He said he should have listened to me more. It hit me straight in the heart."

Karen insisted that the seance wasn't a setup and that the psychic had "no idea" of that she knew Michael.

She said: "There were definite, deep insights that would have been difficult to make up.

"It was detailed about the inner dynamics of his family and his levels of pain and emotional inability."

Two weeks after the European MTV awards it’s time for the 37th American Music Awards 2009. After a quick glimpse at the list of nominees, it seems clear the night could turn into (another) Michael Jackson tribute (nominated for best pop-rock AND soul-R&B album, best pop-rock male artist and best soul-R&B male artist). The night will also be a new GaGa – Beyoncé dispute for best female artist (will little miss spoilt GaGa turn up this time?). The rest of nominees are the usual: Black Eyed Peas, the American beloved Taylor Swift and the hip-hop / rap category 2009 trio Jay-Z, T.I. and Eminem for best album and artist.

Sony Music is planning to release a new Michael Jackson album and single titled 'This Is It.'

Entertainment Weekly reports that the single will be released on October 12th, two weeks prior to the movie of the same name - check out the trailer above. It will be followed by an album on October 26.

The compilation will include "previously unreleased versions" of Jackson songs and a poem named Planet Earth.

"Disc one will feature the original album masters of some of Michael's biggest hits arranged in the same sequence as they appear in the film," according to Sony.

"The disc ends with two versions of the never-released 'This Is It'. This song is featured in the film's closing sequence and includes backing vocals by Michael's brothers, the Jacksons."
