King Of Pop Michael Jackson Dies by sudden Heart Attack
Michael Jackson, 50, died Thursday in Los Angeles as sensationally as he lived, as famous as a human being can get.
He was a child Motown sensation who grew into a moonwalking megastar, the self-anointed King of Pop who sold 750 million records throughout his career and enjoyed worldwide adoration.
Michael Jackson, who died today at age 50, ruled the music world throughout the 1980s, selling millions of records and concert tickets and dubbing himself the "King of Pop." And while Michael Jackson won multiple times at such popularity contests as the American Music Awards and the MTV Awards, he also earned the respect of his peers in the music industry with his 13 Grammy Awards.
Michael Jackson Grammy Awards Thriller Death News 1357986 After striking out on his own from the Jackson Five, Jackson won his first Grammy in 1980 for best R&B male vocal performance ("Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"). That track from his chart-topping "Off the Wall" album also contended for best disco recording.
"Thriller" – his second solo effort as an adult – was released in November 1982 and spent a record 37 weeks at No. 1, producing an unparalleled seven Top 10 singles. In March 1983, Jackson debuted his moonwalk dance to "Billie Jean" on the TV special "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Forever."
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills, Calif. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.
"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

Katrina Kaif in New York, Katrina Kaif- the Leading Bollywood Actress in New York
The latest Yash Raj film New York has created quite a sensation before its release. The film is all set to release on 26th june with John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan in the leading role. Set in the background of New York, the narrative spreads over 9 years. It tells the story of 3 young friends, whose lives take an unexpected turn after 9/11. Centre of attraction is of course Katrina, who created a buzz with her no-make up look in the promos of this film. Her character is a reflection of what she is in real life. Katrina is not seen like this in any other films before, she has just been herself in the film- says Kabir Khan the directer of this film. " I was told look at yourself, the personality you have and the things you go through in real life. She is what I am in real life" she added. We are all waiting eagerly for Katrina and the film!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni- The Fearless, M S D- in the Eye of A Storm
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the enigma of Indian cricket. Over a period of last three years, he has risen higher and higher like a comet. When he was chosen as the captain of Indian Cricket Team
for the T 20 World Cup in South Africa ahead of seniors like Sehwag, Yubi and Bhazzi, every one was surprised and none had thought that the team had any chance(remember, the team was without the fantastic four as well as Kumble and Zahir. That was just the begining. He then showed the guts to drop Rahul & Saurav from the Indin Team and still defeated the mighty Austrelians in their den for the first time in the history of Indian Cricket. Then he became the highest paid cricketer in IPL-2008. MSD ably led the Chenni Super Kings to final only to lose in the last ball to Rajasthan Royals. But is he running out of luck of late? Firstly, his team has lost in the semifinals of IPL-2009. Then, during the ongoing T 20 world cup, he got involved in some tense verbal duel with the Indian Journalists present in UK to cover the world cup. This won't make him any popularand the media is ready to tear him apart if the team does badly in the tournament. MSD is better be careful!!
