Michael Jackson: I Feel 'Wise' and 'Very Young' at Age 50
Originally posted 08/29/2008 01:10PM
There will be no fireworks or celeb-packed party for Michael Jackson's 50th birthday on Friday. Instead, the star is planning a
low-key celebration with his kids.
"[I'm] having a wonderful time, just relaxing," he told
ABC's Good Morning America.
On his agenda: "A little cake with my children and we'll probably
watch some cartoons." The reclusive singer has three kids, Prince Michael, 11, Paris, 10, and Prince Michael II, 6.
"I feel very wise and sage," he said of turning 50, "but at the same time very young." Plus, the King of Pop assures that he can still perform all his famous dance moves and "more."

Britney's Fashionable Night Out – With Dad
Originally posted 05/24/2008 10:00AM
It was a girls' night out – plus dad – for Britney Spears Friday.
Spears, in a black dress and sun-kissed blonde hair, told PEOPLE she's doing "good" at Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's 50th birthday party at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum.
Spears, 26, hung with two girlfriends in a roped-off VIP area at Audigier's blowout gala. Fergie, Snoop Dogg, Pamela Anderson and – surprise! – Michael Jackson also made appearances.
Jamie Spears joined his daughter, sitting on a couch about five feet away with his head resting on his hands.
Spears stayed about an hour and a half, smoking cigarettes on an outside patio, nodding her head to a live performance from Macy Gray, and abstaining from alcohol. When she left for the evening, her father joined her.

Behind the Scenes of Fall Out Boy's 'Beat It' Video
Originally posted 04/28/2008 12:00PM
In their new video, Fall Out Boy pays homage to Michael Jackson with their cover of his iconic "Beat It" – and they're giving PEOPLE.com a glimpse at exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video.
"It's not an ode to a specific Michael Jackson video," bassist Pete Wentz tells PEOPLE. "There are between 25 and 50 nods to Michael Jackson in the video – some that you need to pause and do a frame-by-frame to figure it out."
Some of the tributes are obvious: moon-walking and one-gloved dancers, or the band's '80s-inspired wardrobe.
Also look for celeb cameos, including Arrested Development's Tony Hale as a karate sensei. "It's officially going to be my favorite video of ours just 'cause of Tony," says guitarist Joe Trohman.
