Fashion Director Memsor Kamaraké talks to the supermodel about her time with the King of Pop

I promptly reached out to Ms. Campbell for comment and she graciously and swiftly responded:

“I grew up with Michael Jackson, he was a good friend and the most exciting and innovative entertainer to have lived.

No artist has connected to their audience like Michael and no one will ever be able to match what he has achieved. He gave back to people through his charity work and was an amazing father and human being. (more…)

It is purported that Michael Jackson left a will which he wrote in 2002. The will  names Jackson’s mother, Katherine, as the guardian of his children and places his assets in a trust, and it names his longtime attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain as executors. (more…)

Wall street No. 1  Swindler Bernie MADoff  received a 150 year jail sentence for running a multi-billion dollar Ponzi Scheme. This sentence  sets a precedent and guideline for the Jamaica judges to follow in sentencing our own Ponzi Schemer, Carlos Hill, of Cash Plus. Ponzi Scheme in layman terms is robbing from Peter to pay Paul.  Anyway, how can  a 70 odd year old man gets 150 years in prison? (more…)

I watched the BET award last night and except for the occasional tribute to Michael Jackson, and the appearance of the iconic group the O’Jays, there was nothing new. We had Lil”weird’ Wayne performing his usual antics and Jay Z and Beyonce trying to be supernatural as usual, but the show was too lengthy and sometimes boring.

The pastor who is active at New Testament Church of God conventions in London was reported by the Jamaica Gleaner to have:  (more…)

Mr. Morris

Your letter to the Gleaner 6/26/09 regarding ganja production and its benefit medically as well as economical was excellent. I have thought about the same points that you have mentioned and I have come to the same conclusion, that America is being hypocritical in their decision to put pressure on Jamaicans who grow ganja. It is a shame that because America is so big and powerful that they can do anything they want to do and tell other countries what they should do. (more…)
