worked out with congressional negotiators.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced the U.S. had
launched missiles against Iraqi targets because of “compel

In 1997, the first Harry Potter novel, “Harry Potter and the
Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling, was published in the

CELEBRIS REPORT
King of Pop tributes flow
on 10th death anniversary
Michael Jackson’s estate paid tribute to his
artistry and charity Tuesday as fans began
gathering to celebrate his memory on the
10th anniversary of the King of Pop’s death.
“Ten years ago today, the world lost a
gifted artist and extraordinary humanitar
ian,” the Jackson estate said in a statement
to The Associated Press. “A decade
later, Michael Jackson is still with
us, his influence embedded in
dance, fashion, art and music of
the moment. He is more impor
tant than ever.”
The estate has doggedly
worked to protect and enhance
Jackson’s legacy, a task made
more challenging this year when two
men accused Jackson of molesting them
as boys in the HBO documentary “Leaving
Neverland,” sparking new scrutiny of years-
old claims that Jackson preyed on children.
Jackson was acquitted of abuse allegations
in 2005 and always vehemently denied such
allegations, and the estate and his family
angrily refuted the men’s claims when the
documentary was released in March, noting
the men had at one time been among Jack
son’s biggest defenders and one testified on
his behalf at his criminal trial.
The estate is using the anniversary of
Jackson’s death to celebrate and accentu
ate Jackson’s vast humanitarian work. It
called on fans to honor Jackson’s memory
by engaging in charitable acts “whether it’s
planting a tree, volunteering at a shelter,
cleaning up a public space or helping some
one who is lost find their way. .. This is how
we honor Michael,” the statement read.
Mourners began to gather early Tuesday
and placed elaborate flower arrangements
and poster-sized pictures of Jackson, some
featuring signed messages from dozens of
fans, outside his mausoleum at Forest Lawn
Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
A florist delivered on arrangement from a
client in Japan. A heart made from flowers
in the colors of the Iranian flag featured the
message “Iran (hearts) MJ.” Another flow
ered heart read “Love from Denmark.”
A fan from Las Vegas, dressed as Jackson
in bright red shirt and one white glove, was
among the first mourners to appear.
Fans also plan to gather at Jackson’s last
home in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of
Los Angeles, where the singer received a
fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol on the
afternoon of June 25,2009, from his
doctor. Jackson was declared dead
at a hospital at age 50.
Others planned to gather
around Jackson’s star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. One
group planned a Hollywood rally
Tuesday to declare his innocence
of molestation allegations.
Thomas Mesereau, the attorney
who successfully defended Jackson at his
2005 trial, issued a statement Tuesday saying
“Jackson’s compassion, humanity, empathy
and talent continues to inspire family, friends,
supporters and fans across the globe. The
legend of this great father, son, sibling and art
ist marches forward with characteristic bril
liance and wonder. His legacy can be attacked
by opportunists. But it will never be defeated.
Michael Jackson was a great and kind man.”
John Branca and John McClain, both
major figures in Jackson’s career when he
was alive, as co-executors have taken his
badly debt-ridden estate and grossed over
$1.3 billion through various Jackson-related
projects in the past decade, including the
film “This Is It,” a pair of Cirque du Soleil
shows and the sale of Jackson assets that
included The Beatles catalog.
Jackson left everything to his mother, his
children and charity in his will.
The singer’s father, Joe, died last year
and is buried in the same cemetery as his
son, but Michael’s 89-year-old mother,
five brothers, three sisters and three kids
remain alive and well 10 years later.
The death of Jackson was a massive cul
tural phenomenon, bringing an outpouring
of public affection and revival of his songs
and largely erasing the taint that remained
after his criminal trial, despite his acquittal.

ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
The rivalry going on may not
be your own, but it matters to
some of the people you love.
Emotions are high. Alliances
are drawn. And you may find
yourself rooting for someone
despite your best intentions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You’ve picked up wisdom
along the way as well as pithy
sayings, fun jokes and interest
ing anecdotes. Armed with
elegant erudition, you’ll make
friends and do well in business.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). Sim
ple patience looks like waiting
around, but it’s not the same
thing as inaction. Patience is
an inner stance, accepting the
circumstance and looking for
the best in it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Group situations can bring out
the best in everyone, or they
can cause people to relax into
the illusion of safety in num
bers. As you do your part, you
can’t help but influence the
next person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
drive to create fun is as impor
tant as other human drives and
the priority of the day. Bits of
life turned into humor will be
the healing balm that makes
life sweeter.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
good ideas don’t take hold
any faster just because they
are good ideas. Any idea at all
must be exposed several times
before it’s adopted. Present
your option again. You’re going
to help people, though it could
take a while.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). His
tory has its own recipe. The
truth gets mixed in with the
needs and wants of those re
laying the story. A mythology
slowly forms as facts change
just a little with each retelling.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your imagination is going
strong today, and you may
not be sure whether to correct
it or assist it. Much depends
on the direction in which your
thoughts are flowing. Your
happiness depends on imagin
ing in a good direction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
To be satisfied or discontented
with oneself is more a matter
of decision than of any fixed
state of reality. Self-esteem is
nothing more than a judgment
you make, and you can change
your mind about it any time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Truths are often half-spoken.
It’s like we know how potent
the truth is, and therefore, the
first form it comes to us in is
usually a whisper or a hint.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
It’s the same with operating
people and machines today
— you have to first learn what
buttons to push to make things
happen, but once you know, it
will be obvious what to do and
what to avoid doing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your tenacity of purpose is
strongest when you know
you’re in the flow of all that’s
right. While it would be nice if
such a knowing were an innate
feeling, it’s not. You have to
check, question and doubt to
realize what is right.
