Hip-hop artist LL Cool J has performed and recorded with a lot of talented people, but working with Michael Jackson ranks as "the most amazing" experience, he shared on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 11PM ET on TBS).
The two artists did "quite a few songs" together, but they were never released. One evening in the studio, sitting at a baby grand piano, LL asked MJ, "In the 'Smooth Criminal' -- how'd 你 lean 前锋, 期待 like that?"
MJ, sitting cross-legged atop the piano, replied: "We had a Swami come in ... He did a ritual and he leaned forward, and we all leaned 前锋, 期待 together." LL told George Lopez, "I was like, 'Really?' He was like, 'No, silly!'"
The 'NCIS: Los Angeles' 星, 星级 then divulged a story he'd never told before -- about farting in front of the King of Pop.

Michael Jackson's children definitely have the bug -- the one that makes 你 give away large sums of money -- because they just helped make a $10,000 donation to one of MJ's 最喜爱的 charities.
Earlier this week, Prince, Paris, and Blanket presented a check for $10K to the L.A. Housing Corporation -- a group that provides shelter for homeless families. Sources tell us Michael used to take his kids to volunteer with the group.
We're told the massive chunk o' change came from grandma Katherine Jackson's memorabilia biz.
MJ's heirs made the donation on behalf of his Heal the World Foundation. All three of them joined the group's Youth Board of Advisors last year.

Michael Jackson. Words cant describe Michael Jackson. His 音乐 describes him. Michael J. will always be the king of pop to everybody. Even if 你 爱情 him 或者 你 don't he will still be the king of pop. And no one will be able to take his place.
Michael Jackson is the king of Pop. Michael Jackson is one of the best musical genius ever alive. Michael Jackson is a inspiration to all and we are glad that we still have his music. Michael will always be remembered for what he accomplished and we are thankful for him. The song I 爱情 most is HOLD MY HAND featuring Akon,I really think that song was inspirational and that song had a meaning. Stick together and be strong.
