Once again in the name of his affection and concern for children, Jackson held concerts in Seoul and in Munich to raise money for charity. Entitled “Michael Jackson and Friends,” the superstar was joined by Mariah Carey, Chinese popstars Andy Lau and Leon Lai, Andrea Bocelli, Ringo Starr, Boyz II Men and many other music stars in the extravaganza which raised over $3.3 million for the Red Cross, UNESCO, and the Nelson Mandela Childrens’ Fund...

In North America, BMW overtook Mercedes for the first time. BMW executives have announced a plan to expand their selection to 76 models from 70. They expect to sell 200,000 units, up from 189,423, and increase their share of the luxury-car market.
