And apparently, reports say that Sony has offered almost $50 million to make Michael’s last hours into a Hollywood movie. The movie will be titled “This Is It,” which was what Michael’s 50-show comeback was called and is being released on October 30th.

    I personally believe no one really loved him except his die hard fans during his life esp in last 10-12 years.he is THE GOD of entertaining arts and is such a great person professionally and as a person.its really s sad thing tht even though he has given us some of d most entertaining moments and maybe d most creative ideas…v havnt given him a reason to smile.v hav always created accusations giving him restless nights.hope atleast it does not happen to any other artiste
