Tomorrow (Friday, Some Places Today) marks the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, and perspective is a funny thing. For some, his eccentricities and scandals have fallen behind louder, happier memories of his music and flair. For others, not so much."In death, Michael achieved something he could not in life -- a washing away of the controversies that dogged him and a unity of appreciation for his talent and legacy," David Perel, creator and executive vice president of RadarOnline.com, tells PopEater. "There is a much greater recognition of his role as a family man and devoted father. Much of his music has been rediscovered and a new appreciation for the artist and his immense talent has emerged."
We took to the streets of New York City to find out how the public remembers the King of Pop a year after he left us.
From the looks of it, Fox is determined to score a hit with their Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz-starrer Knight & Day. Not only has the studio has spent gobs of money selling the romantic spy caper, but they also moved up its opening to Wednesday in order to get ahead of Adam Sandler’s big summer comedy Grown Ups. But will any of it work? Reviews have been mixed, and with a debut of $3.8 million yesterday, it’s quite possible Tom Cruise’s return to the summer blockbuster may only generate a bronze medal in this weekend’s race to the finish. Grown Ups, in contrast, is likely to do the kind of business Sony and Sandler are used to doing together when Sandler goes right down the middle with his comedies. Still, the movie everyone is talking about — Toy Story 3 — will take the top spot for the second weekend in a row. The Pixar flick, which has earned over $43 million additional dollars during the week, will likely drop around 40 percent its second weekend in theaters. Read on for my predictions.
In terms of the hardware, one of the only completely new features on the iPhone 4 is the gyroscope. It’s so new, in fact, that third-party developers haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet because they didn’t have access to the iPhone 4 hardware until today (or at least two days ago). And because they didn’t have the hardware, that means there are a sad lack of apps that use the feature so far. But actually, there is one out there. Ngmoco’s Eliminate: GunRange. And it’s awesome.
Moses Chan and Bernice Liu this rumored couple attended to a function as a couple yesterday. Bernice appeared holding Moses's arm.

Moses said: "Ok then, we haven't collaborate for two years." Attend as a couple again, whether they increase price? Moses expressed it's a happy and satisfying price.

The self-proclaimed "Kpop style pretty boy", Danson Tang, just released his album yesterday. Eddie Peng, also from the same record label (Avex), showed his support by handing the gold-color baton into Danson’s hand, mimicking a relay race. In addition, Eddie gave Danson a Sunny Day Doll (晴天娃娃/Weather Doll) as a gift. It turns out that whenever Danson is doing promotional activities for his albums, it would always rain on the day. Hopefully, the doll can keep the days sunny this time round.

Netizens have been buzzing about the fact that Da S's wide eyes, high nose and pointy chin in "Summer's Desire" is a far cry from her single lidded, small-nosed, and round-chinned appearance 10 years ago in "Meteor Garden". Da S responded by posting an old photo on her Weibo, and added "If you say I've become prettier, I won't deny it, but if you say I had plastic surgery, that's complete nonsense! This is a photo of Mavis Fan, Xiao S and I from 12 years ago, my face shape and nose are the same... the only thing different is in the makeup and expression. If I really had plastic surgery, I wouldn't dare publish 'Mei Rong Da Wang'! Some netizens...."
