Michael Jackson’s mother and four of his siblings announced Monday a tribute concert for the late pop singer to be held in Wales in October, but the lineup for talent is still a secret.

Brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie, sister La Toya and family matriarch Katherine Jackson attended the “Michael Forever The Tribute Concert” announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Monday morning.

But the announcement exposed a major rift among members of the Jackson family, especially with Jackson brothers Jermaine and Randy, who did not attend the news conference. They objected to the show because it’s scheduled to happen during the criminal trial of the doctor accused in Michael Jackson’s death. “While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael’s death,” they said.

While the head of the British company promoting the show, Global Events Live, hinted it could include a Jackson brothers reunion, the statement from Jermaine and Randy Jackson on Monday indicated that would not happen.

La Toya Jackson said the “tribute will be something that’s spectacular” and is “far, far, well overdue.’

The Jacksons’ mother called it “a show fit for a king,”

“If my son were here today, he would feel the same way,” Katherine Jackson said.

The show will “feature the world’s most amazing music performers,” according to the head of British promoter Global Live. The roster will be revealed online one act at a time over the next two weeks, starting Tuesday, Chris Hunt said. All profits from the show would go to several U.S. and British charities, including a cancer group created by the prince of Wales, Hunt said.

The October 8 show, in the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales, would be at least four hours long, Hunt said. The venue will seat up to 75,000 people, he said.

Hunt presented the Jackson family with a $100,000 check that will go to a trust fund for Michael Jackson’s three children, which they can access when they turn 21. The children, Katherine Jackson and unidentified charities are the sole beneficiaries of Jackson’s wealthy estate.

Microsoft received much Twitter flak after a small PR account for its Xbox system encouraged followers to remember recently deceased musician Amy Winehouse by purchasing her last album on the company’s entertainment marketplace, Zune.

After about an hour of retweets with comments like “classy,” “crass much?” and “Microsoft — failing at social media,” the account tweeted a follow up.

“Apologies to everyone if our earlier Amy Winehouse ‘download’ tweet seemed purely commercially motivated,” it said. “Far from the case, we assure you.”

It then followed with a second tweet: “With Amy W’s passing, the world has lost a huge talent. Our thoughts are with Amy’s family and friends at this very sad time.”

Microsoft isn’t the only company that has seemingly attempted to capitalize on the star’s death.

Apple posted an image of Winehouse on the front of the iTunes store with the caption “remembering Amy Winehouse.”

Her breakout album, the Grammy-winning “Back to Black,” has subsequently become the No. 1 album in the store. Amazon also posted a brief obituary that linked to a page where shoppers can purchase the singer’s music.

Sales of “Back to Black” increased 37 times immediately after Winehouse’s death.

Mariah Carey hasn’t been seen much since she had twins. The sexy entertainer has been focused on motherhood and all the glory that comes with having new kids in the house. While she has been enjoying life, her fans have been wondering. Wonder no more as Mariah Carey took two hours out of her mom schedule to promote her jewelry on HSN on Sunday. This was the first time she has been seen in public for an extended period of time since the birth of her kids.

The good folks over at Gawker have been kind enough to gather up a few of the singer’s most awesome moments, which included several references to birthing twins (“Literally I was like 47 weeks pregnant”) as well as her directing the camera people to stop shooting her (“Take the camera off me please, I know you guys hear me.”)

Our personal favorites? Carey’s faux-British accent, which is very reminiscent of the Countess LuAnn de Lesseps from the “Real Housewives of New York” (“Hello dahhling”), and her invention of a new word based on camouflage. (Carey explained that while pregnant she “needed a camouflagian moment.”)

The Diva is back!

A post-mortem examination into the death of Amy Winehouse has taken place after her body was found on Saturday at her home in Camden, north London.

“Amy was about one thing and that was love. Her whole life was devoted to her family and her friends and to you guys as well,” said her father Mitch Winehouse.

The singer’s mother and brother also visited the site to see the flowers, cards and photos fans laid in tribute.

A representative for Winehouse said the funeral would not take place on Monday.

A family spokesman said earlier the funeral would be held as soon as possible, with coroners issuing interim death certificates allowing arrangements to be made.

Traditionally, Jewish funerals take place as quickly as possible following a death.

This Brit and Grammy award-winner had struggled with drink and drug addiction for many years and had recently spent time in rehab.

But police have declined to say whether her death was drug-related.

Police spokesman Supt Raj Kohli said: “It would be inappropriate to speculate on the cause of death.”

He added: “My sympathy extends not just to her immediate family but clearly to the thousands and millions of fans across the world.”

The singer, who topped the charts with her album Back To Black, was found dead by a member of her security team. The album re-entered the charts on Sunday almost five years after it was released.

Last month, Winehouse pulled out of a comeback tour after she was jeered during her first gig in Serbia, when she appeared to be too drunk to perform. But she had recently finished a course of alcohol rehabilitation in London and was under strict instructions not to drink.

Former head of Island Records, Mark Marot, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the singer’s record company had behaved responsibly.

Alan McGee, the man behind Creation Records, which launched bands like Oasis, Primal Scream and Super Furry Animals, said: “If someone takes too many drugs, it’s their problem.”

McGee, who had a well-documented drug problem himself in the 1990s, added: “Only you can get yourself clean, it’s all immaterial unless you get clean.”
