Janet Jackson said Monday she won’t attend a planned tribute concert for her older brother Michael in Wales because the show coincides with the trial of a doctor charged in the King of Pop’s death

(CBS/AP) Yet another Michael Jackson sibling won’t attend the tribute concert for the late singer and this Jackson may be the most famous: Janet. Janet Jackson said Monday she won’t attend a planned tribute concert for her older brother Michael in Wales because the show coincides with the trial of a doctor charged in the King of Pop’s death. Pictures: Michael Jackson The singer’s one-sentence statement to The Associated Press does not criticize the show, as her brothers Jermaine and Randy have done, but cites the court case as her reason for not attending. “Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me,” her statement reads. Her statement was released on what would have been her brother’s 53rd birthday. Organizers of “Michael Forever — The Tribute Concert” have struggled to line up top-name acts and have been criticized by fans and the late singer’s estate for multiple reasons, including its costly tickets, timing and remote location. The show is scheduled for Oct. 8 in Cardiff, Wales, and the singer’s mother, Katherine, and 풀팟 some of her children are scheduled to attend. Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, and Cee Lo Green are the top-names listed as performers so far. Organizers had to rescind an offer to the band Kiss after fans and Michael Jackson’s estate noted that singer-bassist Gene Simmons had harshly...

“I have lots of energy for my country and I don’t want to leave, but the situation might force me to go

(CBS News) KABUL – By the end of 2014, the international military forces who have tried to secure Afghanistan for more than a decade will leave the country, and as they go, so too will many of the business opportunities granted by their presence. “The current economy is artificial,” Muqim Jamshady tells CBS News in his suburban Kabul home. Jamshady started his own company, Afghan Logistics, shortly after the Taliban regime was ousted almost 11 years ago. The current economy “has no foundation,” he says. “Much depends on the coalition forces. If they leave, the economy will collapse dramatically.” Hundreds of Afghan forces sacked, detained over insider attack fearsCan Afghan forces vet their recruits?U.S. halts training of some Afghan forces Much of Jamshady’s business depends on an international presence in Kabul. He runs a hugely successful logistics, rental car and taxi firm – services which are mostly aimed at the massive population of foreigners in the Afghan capital. He built his business from almost nothing, starting as an owner-driver and then spending his savings on a second vehicle, which his brother drove. Soon, there was a third brother driving a third car. Today he has more than 100 vehicles, a large complex of offices and his own maintenance facility. His wealth is apparent, but Jamshady is reluctant to disclose his real net-worth. Success here comes with great risk. As...

Lopez’s Thursday show at midnight will be the final one, the cable network said in a statement

(CBS/AP) Hey, 영동출장마사지 thanks for being a team player, George Lopez. Thanks for moving your time slot back an hour to accommodate Conan O’Brien. Also: It’s over. Lopez, who surrendered his TBS time slot to Conan O’Brien (remember, Conan wouldn’t surrender his time slot on NBC) and then saw ratings for “Lopez Tonight” slide, got a cancelation notice Wednesday. Lopez’s Thursday show at midnight will be the final one, the cable network said in a statement. Pictures: TV stars out of a job “TBS has reached the difficult decision not to order a third season of `Lopez Tonight,'” the network said, adding that it was proud to have worked with the “immensely talented comedian and entertainer.” TBS declined further comment. The decision was based not only on ratings but also the cost of the show, according to a person familiar with the production, who spoke on condition of anonymity because TBS hadn’t authorized public comment. A call to Lopez’s representatives was not immediately returned. The comic gave up his 11 p.m. ET time slot to make room for O’Brien, who joined TBS after leaving NBC’s “Tonight Show” over a time-slot dispute that ended up reinstating Jay Leno as “Tonight” host. The plan for TBS was to have a one-two punch of late-night shows that would particularly appeal to young viewers, but the results have been unimpressive and the cancelation...

(CBS/AP) BEIJING – A former police chief whose flight to a U.S. consulate set off China’s biggest political scandal in years has been charged with crimes including defection and bribe taking, state media reported Wednesday, indicating the turbulent affair is moving closer to a resolution before a key national leadership transition this fall. Wednesday evening’s announcement of the charges against Wang Lijun came hours before the end of a brief visit to Beijing by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and was likely timed to send a message to Washington that China’s government is in full control and would strongly object to any foreign involvement in its internal politics. U.S. officials say they were not told that Wang would be charged while Clinton was in the country. CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan, covering Clinton’s visit to China this week, says throughout the visit there was notable “internal churn” among Chinese officials regarding to the political scandals which have emerged.
