Lady GaGa, Wyclef Jean and Lil Wayne have joined the galaxy of stars coming together to record a remake of the classic 1985 benefit song “We Are The World”! Other artists working on the track include Bono, Kanye West, P!nk, Usher, Justin Bieber, Akon, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop, LL Cool J, Keri Hilson, Jamie Foxx,Toni Braxton, Kid Cudi, GaGa’s producer RedOne and will.i.am among a ton of others. Lionel Richie, who co-wrote the charity single with Michael Jackson, is working with Quincy Jones, the song’s original producer, to organize the 25th anniversary remake to benefit Haiti relief. In a statement, Jones said, “Twenty five years ago, the entertainment industry showed the power of community to help our fellow man when we recorded ‘We Are The World’ to bring relief to those suffering from famine in Ethiopia. And while the need to assistant Africa continues, today the country of Haiti is suffering immeasurably from the destruction due to the recent earthquake and is in immediate need of relief that will last long after the television cameras have left. As artists, we have joined together on this 25th anniversary and in the spirit of ‘We Are The World’ to help meet that need.” GRAMMY-winner RedOne was also excited about getting started on the project… “It’s like, the biggest honor in life to get a call from our father in music Quincy Jones, and Lionel Richie, and Randy Phillips to actually as me to help produce the new version of ‘We Are the World’ and I remember when I was a kid listening to that song over and over again. Michael Jackson, all these people and suddenly like 25 years later I’m the one that’s gonna be helping to produce that. It’s the biggest honor and this is the greatest like, occasion I mean to do something for people for Haiti.” The original “We Are the World” was recorded in 1985 and brought together artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper to aid famine victims in Africa.

Jackson’s Death Ruled HOMICIDE!

August 24, 2009 –
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died and is the target of a manslaughter investigation.

The coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson’s death, the official said.
Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson’s personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of the Los Angeles Police Department’s manslaughter investigation. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston, Murray told investigators he administered a 25 mg dose of propofol around 10:40 a.m. after spending the night injecting Jackson with two sedatives in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to sleep.
The warrant, dated July 23, states that lethal levels of propofol were found in Jackson’s system. Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner’s toxicology report found other substances in Jackson’s system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer’s death, the official said.
Murray has spoken to police and last week released a video saying he “told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail.” His attorney, Edward Chernoff, had no immediate comment but has previously said Murray never administered anything that “should have” killed Jackson.
A call to the coroner’s office was not returned Monday.
Murray did not say anything about the drugs he gave to Jackson.
