...currently own or downloaded three months ago when the singer died. Also on the first disc are two versions of the title track. Disc 2 offers - wait for it - "previously unreleased" versions of those same hits as well as what Sony has described as a "touching spoken-word poem from Michael Jackson entitled 'Planet Earth' that has never been heard before." Consider yourself warned. (See a post-Michael guide to the Jackson family...
Among the stately high ceilings and rare books collections of Houghton Library’s Edison-Newman Room, acclaimed poet Simon Armitage read select poems evoking images of his native English landscape before a packed audience last night.

...Greer has made a career of playing the wry best friend (27 Dresses, 13 Going on 30, The Wedding Planner). She plays Marty, a poetess, flower arranger and dispenser of advice to Eloise, and as usual, she's cute, funny and charming enough to be able to recite a poem featuring a phallus without making you hate her. Fogler plays Burke's manager Lane. Lane is plump, sweaty and initially seems so eager to cash in on Burke's burgeoning celebrity that we assume we're watching a young Ari Gold (without Ari's personal trainer). But Fogler...
