Pop goes 50

King of Pop Michael Jackson turns 50 today. A CD titled KING OF POP is being released – only in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong (strangely, not in the US) – to commemorate Jackson’s 50th birthday. Jackson, of course, along with his concert-promoter friend David Gest, has been busy recording Robert Burns’ poems to music, giving the 18th century Scottish poet’s lyrics a 21st century twist.

Queen of Pop Madonna turned 50 earlier this month on 16 August. She was, reportedly, partying in London and showing no signs of relinquishing her crown.
