It's been reported in the news today that Michael Jackson and leading popstars are to team up and release a single to raise £34m to help with those in last week's terrorists attacks in America.

BBC News Online has the full story.

Jacko should release a new version of 'Earth Song' re-titled 'American Sorrow', with all the lyrics re-written, and the video filmed as the tower collapses. Might be a distressing thought, but who knows, it could bring out the truth in how we feel about last week's tragedy.

I think I'll make a donation to whatever charity's handling the cash for this tragedy - I'm none to keen on Pop Music's Plastic Pap-maker!

That sounds like very bad taste to me.

I was waiting for this to happen, I just couldn't guess who would be best to do it...

Does noone else see the similarity to the Simpsons episode where Sting and various Springfield celebrities sang 'We're Sending Our Love Down The Well' for Timmy O'Toole?

Well it had to be Michael Jackson or Elton John didn't it? I'm just glad Jacko got there first.
