Michael Jackson House Contents Sell For Nearly $1M

First Published: December 18, 2011 10:40 AM EST Credit: Getty Images BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Caption Michael Jackson on set of his video Beat It in downtown Los AngelesThe contents of the home where Michael Jackson lived with his three children just before his death have sold for nearly $1 million at auction. Darren Julien, president of Juliens Auctions, was unable to provide a more specific figure as he continued to tally the totals Saturday after the daylong auction, which brought in nearly triple the companys pre-auction estimate of $200,000 to $400,000. Among the highlights: A kitchen chalkboard where Jacksons children wrote I love daddy, which sold for $5,000, and an armoire upon which Jackson wrote a message to himself on the mirror that fetched $25,750. The auction also included furniture, artwork and other items from the rented mansion at 100 North Carolwood Drive, where Jackson lived as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in London before his death in June, 2009. The headboard from the bed where Jackson died at age 50 was removed from the auction at the familys request, but the rug that was beneath the bed sold for $15,360. The estimate had been $400 to $600. Juliens Auctions re-created the mansion inside its Beverly Hills showroom and invited fans to fill the space where the bed would have been with a tribute to the late King of Pop. Julien promised to deliver all of the tribute items to Jacksons children and family matriarch Katherine Jackson. Michael Jackson has the greatest fans in the world. I can see why he lived for them, Julien said. They came out every day this week to bring gifts. Its unlike anything weve ever seen as it relates to a celebrity and their fans. Juliens Auctions has conducted auctions for dozens of celebrities, including Cher, Barbra Streisand, William Shatner and Slash. Jackson commissioned the company to sell the contents of his Neverland Ranch before the auction was called off in early 2009. Juliens also sold Jacksons famous Thriller jacket for $1.8 million earlier this year. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

It's Back! RiffTrax Returns With Live, Uncut Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny Revival

Depending on whom you ask, Christmas is a time of cheery togetherness or sharing in the misery. The latest holiday effort from RiffTrax is a bit of both. The RiffTrax team — Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett — will take to Ustream tonight to revisit a Christmas gem they made fun of a year ago, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, for the communal enjoyment of bad-movie fans. “It’s a little more intimate for the audience because we tend to absorb the pain and sometimes we share it with each other,” Murphy said. Ustream also makes a good RiffTrax platform because of its chat rooms, where viewers “share the pain among themselves,” he said. The former Mystery Science Theater 3000 writers/performers will do a live studio recording of Bunny tonight and rebroadcast it Saturday. The trio regularly record their scathing commentaries and offer them on RiffTrax.com as downloads to play alongside a DVD — a method that has allowed them to tackle current releases like the Twilight series. Bunny is available as an audio track and on VOD. So why take another stab at a movie that Murphy described as a grade-school play staged for public access TV? Aside from turning the viewing experience into an interactive event, 13 minutes were cut from Bunny last year. Apparently, somewhere between Santa’s sleigh being stuck in the sand in Florida and the story of Thumbelina, things got too weird. “It’s more pain for us, but it’s more fun for the audience. We cut out the things that were almost excruciating, the inexplicable and bizarre,” Murphy said. The riffers also are fresh off recording commentary for The Magic Christmas Tree, in which a child kidnaps Santa Claus and violates the laws of time and space. “This one, instead of being shot at an amusement park in Florida, was shot in somebody’s backyard in California, which doesn’t necessarily make it better,” Murphy said. That movie will be released on VOD, with a preview running during the Bunny stream. RiffTrax recently evolved to spawn the RiffPlayer, software that automatically syncs a DVD and commentary track. “Things keep getting better and better as online media is moving off the desktop computer and into the living room,” Murphy said. “A lot of people, I think, who were a little bit shy about doing that before — loading up the DVD and then syncing the [track] — are finding that the RiffTrax player works really well and is very convenient. And now even Grandpa can join in the fun.” Grandpa also might be interested to know that a mainstream Christmas classic could be on the horizon. “One of these days we might take a crack at It’s a Wonderful Life just because we all know it and we all love it and it’d be fun to do, much like we did Casablanca,” Murphy said. “But when we saw Magic Christmas Tree, we knew that we had our movie for this year.”

Once

A NY Theater Workshop presentation of a musical in two acts with music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova; book by Enda Walsh, based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney. Directed by John Tiffany, movement by Steven Hoggett.Guy - Steve Kazee Girl - Cristin Milioti Eamon - David Abeles Ivonka - Claire Candela Andrej - Will Connolly Reza - Elizabeth A. Davis Da - David Patrick Kelly Baruska - Anne L. Nathan Svec - Lucas Papaelias Bank Manager - Andy Taylor Ex-Girlfriend - Erikka Walsh Billy - Paul Whitty Emcee - J. Michael ZygoOnce is not enough: "Once" is that rare kind of musical which theater lovers will want to see again. The 2007 independent film from Ireland -- made for about $150,000, with a worldwide gross of $20 million -- has been creatively expanded and adapted for the stage, and it works out impeccably. Songwriters Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (who starred together in the movie) have joined playwright Enda Walsh and the "Black Watch" team of director John Tiffany and choreographer Steven Hoggett to create a rhapsodic, unique stage musical. Machinations for a quick Broadway transfer are underway, with strong prospects. Bittersweet love story tells of an unnamed guy (Steve Kazee) and girl (Cristin Milioti) who over the course of a week meet and make beautiful music together -- and that music proves more beautiful than much of what you hear uptown on the Rialto. Song "Falling Slowly" is already well known, having won the pair an Oscar, but many of the tunes equal it, including "If You Want Me" and "The Hill." "Once" is unusual, for sure: There's no orchestra. The actors themselves play instruments throughout, not as a directorial stunt but as an intrinsic part of the storytelling. This means as many as eight guitars playing together, which -- mixed with violin, viola and voice -- proves surprisingly effective. Eight of the thirteen film songs are retained, with a few additions. Playwright Walsh, for his part, is true to John Carney's screenplay but has expanded some subsidiary roles into full characters. Walsh ("Misterman") has also added humor; "Once," for all its moody romancing and atmospheric color, is very funny. Tiffany grabs the aud from the opening, when the story springs from a pre-show jam session. Hoggett ("American Idiot"), meanwhile, provides arresting movement for his non-dancers. In the first act finale, the musicians grow so engrossed that they are magnetically drawn from their chairs, dancing in formation while still playing -- even the cellist. (This same song, "Gold," is later reprised a cappella.) Orchestrator/music supervisor Martin Lowe deserves credit for translating the songs to the stage; the methods and results are key to the overall success. There is also a Broadway-caliber physical production from vets Bob Crowley ("The Coast of Utopia") and Natasha Katz ("Follies"). Crowley has designed a massive Dublin barroom, which also serves as a liquor bar before the show and at intermission. The walls are crammed with fifty-nine frosted mirrors, which the designers selectively use to reflect the action. Crowley's costumes for Dublin poor and Czech immigrants are just right, while Katz's touches include a dazzling nightscape with some fiber optic sleight-of-hand. Two leads are exceptional. Kazee ("110 in the Shade") makes a fine leading man, likable and attractive but conveying the character's inner anguish when he sings. Milioti is also perfect as the straightforward and blunt heroine; she plays the part so well you wonder whether she is indeed a Czech import. (She's from New Jersey.) Both excel as musicians as well. Paul Whitty, Andy Taylor and David Patrick Kelly stand out among the excellent ensemble, along with Elizabeth A. Davis for both her acting and her viola skills. Lest one wonder how this intimate affair would translate for Broadway, it's worth noting the show has a large cast of thirteen, twelve very-much-in-evidence musicians and a full-sized physical production that seems too wide for some smaller uptown houses. Still, it's the tender love story and the soaring songs that make "Once" a winner.Sets and costumes, Bob Crowley; lights, Natasha Katz; sound, Clive Goodwin; music supervision/orchestrations, Martin Lowe; production stage manager, Bess Marie Glorioso.
