1. Michael Jackson’s Neverland to become a State Park?!
Michael Jackson’s former home may be turned into a state park which means fans of the King of Pop may finally get to visit the Neverland Ranch! The late singer moved out of the estate, situated in Santa Barbara, in 2005 - after police raided the home for evidence following his 2003 arrest for child molestation charges. Despite residents living near Jacksons former home protesting against the plans to make Neverland a tourists attraction, if the proposal is given the all clear, fans of the ‘Thriller’ singer will be free to visit the site!

3. Amy Winehouse new album on the way!
Amy Winehouse has said that she will release her next studio album no later than January next year! The singer told Metro newspaper that the album would echo the sound of 2006's huge-selling 'Back to Black', her last release. "The album will be six months at the most," she said. "It's going to be very much the same as my second album, where there's a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are… just jukebox, really." She added: "I just can't wait to have some new songs on stage, really." We literally can’t wait either!
4. Lil Wayne to release new EP from jail!

The rapper's co-manager Cortez Bryant told Vibe magazine that the EP would be named 'I'm Not a Human Being' and will be out digitally on September 27, the day of Wayne’s birthday! "We not about to roll out no three-month set-up," he said. "I'm not even putting it out in stores. We just going to put it out virally and maybe package it up for Christmas. Give 'em a hard copy later for fan appreciation." Bryant said the EP would be a prelude to the rapper's album forthcoming 'Tha Carter IV'. Great to hear the rapper is still focusing on music; let’s see what he has to offer this time around!
5. Kelis’ ‘Flesh Tone’ received by poor sales!
Despite scoring a number one on the Billboard Dance Chart with ‘Acapella’, Kelis’ latest album ‘Flesh Tone’ has debuted on the Billboard 200 chart with one of the year’s worst opening sales. According to Hits Daily Double, ‘Flesh Tone’ came in at a disappointing #46 on the US chart this week, after selling just 7833 copies. This marks the lowest sales of the eclectic singer’s career. The album is not a bad one; let’s hope she makes a few wise decisions on her next singles.
