Latoya Jackson: Last News

Michael Jackson estate and Sony Music, that alleged the label had released songs by a Jackson impersonator, has been settled after eight years.Back in 2014, Jackson fan Vera Serova filed a class-action lawsuit against Sony Music, the Jackson estate and producers.They claimed that three cuts on the late singer’s posthumous 2010 album ‘Michael’ – ‘Monster’ (featuring 50 Cent), ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Breaking News’ – were sold as official Jackson recordings, despite multiple accusations that they’d been sung by someone else.In 2010, Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson claimed that “some of the tracks on the album are fake”. His sister LaToya Jackson said: “It doesn’t sound like him.” Taryll Jackson, Jackson’s nephew, also commented on how the songs had been made in a “sneaky and sly” fashion.Some Jackson fans have long disputed the assertion that the tracks actually feature the artist’s vocals.Last month, ‘Monster’, ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Breaking News’ were all removed from the ‘Michael’ album on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.In a statement, a spokesperson for Jackson’s official website confirmed that the songs were no longer available online, but claimed the move “had nothing to do with their authenticity” (via American Songwriter).The message added: “The Estate and Sony Music believe the continuing conversation about the tracks is distracting the fan community and casual Michael Jackson listeners from focusing their attention where it should be, on Michael’s legendary and deep music catalogue.”According to Rolling Stone, the lawsuit finally reached its conclusion yesterday (August 10) in the California Supreme Court.

Big Brother stalwart Ulrika Jonsson, who starred in two series of the celebrity version of the show, has spilled the beans on some of the shocking antics from the programme, including drug use and stars' eating habits, ahead of its hotly-anticipated return to our screens in 2023. Having previously aired on Channel 4, the legendary fly-on-the-wall show is coming back on a different channel - and ITV confirmed it would be broadcasting it by creating the show's iconic eye in ITV logos alongside its famous music, following the final of Love Island 2022.The show focused on a number of individuals being cooped up in the same house for weeks as their environment is manipulated to cause a change in their behaviour, whilst audiences watch from home, and, after the continuing success of Love Island, ITV clearly thought now was the right time to bring Big Brother back.
