Jackson comes back for a thrilling performance of this...

Pop star Michael Jackson will launch his comeback with a performance of his hit single "Thriller" at the World Music Awards in London next week.

The World Music Awards will mark the 48-year-old Jackson's first live performance since he was cleared of child molestation charges in California last year, the BBC reported Wednesday.

Jackson will also be receiving the diamond award for his contribution to music at the awards ceremony on Nov. 15.

"It's his first performance in a long time," said a spokeswoman for the World Music awards. "It's something of a comeback if you like."

The World Music Awards gives out prizes based on global record sales.

Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan will host this year's ceremony, which will feature performances from Beyonce, Katie Melua and Mary J. Blige.

Jackson reportedly plans to recreate the groundbreaking video for "Thriller" on the World Music Awards stage, the BBC said.

Comedian busted for concealing this...

Comedian Katt Williams, who is scheduled to host BET's first ever Hip-Hop Awards later this month, was arrested Monday at LAX for allegedly carrying a stolen concealed weapon--one the cops called a "cheap, Saturday night special."  Cops determined the weapon to be stolen and also found three additional weapons in luggage that Williams had already checked in.  Williams, the son of an ex-Black Panther, was booked on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and several other offenses. Sources told TMZ that Williams is also wanted in connection with an outstanding warrant in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Best new hip hop artist sore loser over this...

2006 MTV Europe Awards - Copenhagen, Nov. 2, 2006

Never passing up an opportunity to put his arrogance on display, Kanye West, who was named Best Hip Hop artist at the 2006 MTV Europe Video awards last night, outdid even himself by insulting fellow artists Justice and Simian and whoever is responsible for the voting when his own video for "Touch the Sky" did not win for best video.

Quoting this...

"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility."

Puhleeeeeeeeeeeze. Get over yourself, Kanman.  But please keep up the attitude so everyone else will get over you, too.
