*The Detroit Super Bowl XL Host Committee is excited to kickoff Motown Winter Blast, the winter festival created as the backdrop for Super Bowl XL in Detroit. The event, which began on Feb. 2 and wraps Feb. 5, is open to the public and features more than 14 city blocks-full activities, including dog sledding and ice sculptures, performances by Olympic figure skaters, 40 restaurants and 60 musical performances including such national acts as Motown recording artist KEM, country music powerhouse Clint Black, blues and alternative rock hit makers Smash Mouth. The event is free and open to the public from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Sunday.
*Diddy’s new Diet Pepsi ad, scheduled to debut during the Super Bowl, features the Diet Pepsi soda can as the next big music superstar. In the 60-second spot, Diddy is looking for new talent to make a hit record and has his sights set on Diet Pepsi. The can’s agent, Jay Mohr, meets with Diddy to make sure his client gets the best deal. Soon, both Diddy and the can are in the studio laying down vocals for the track, “Brown and Bubbly,” which immediately climbs the charts.
*H3Enterprises, Inc. (HTRE) has entered into a multi-faceted agreement with Juelz Santana, which will see the rapper hosting H3's first CyberSports One-on-One Challenge at NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston. Juelz has also agreed to become a financial partner in H3's flagship HipHopSodaShop on 125th Street in Harlem, as well as in HTRE itself. “We're gonna rip 125th up," said Juelz. "It's great to be able to enjoy all this in my own backyard with my own people. I've hung out with my boy A Butta here since we were little punks and now we're gonna get a chance to actually work together for the good of our own hood.”
*The judge overseeing Michael Jackson’s custody battle had to briefly step down in January after reports of him calling the pop star anti-Semitic. Judge Stephen M. Lachs says his statements were taken out of context and he was simply stating that the media has unfairly labeled Jackson. Judge Lachs wrote, "I pointed out that the news media should realize that his attorney is Jewish, Ms. Rowe's attorney is Jewish, and the Judge whom he selected to hear his case is Jewish. We all laughed at the notion that with these people being chosen by (Jackson), he would be anti-Semitic." According to TMZ.com, Judge Lachs is a retired Los Angeles Superior Court Judge who was temporarily sworn back into service to hear the case in a private office.

It is being rumoured that the King of pop himself may be duetting with those Irish crooners, Westlife.
The boy band are planning on recording a number of duets with big stars throughout 2006 including Lionel Richie and Julio Iglesias, they are hoping that Jackson will feature on their new album.
Speaking at Ireland’s Meteor Awards where they picked up the award for Best Irish Pop Act for the sixth time they said: "The idea to do a single with Michael Jackson came from Louis Walsh who met up with an agent about three months ago in Germany,"
"It would be this cool thing to do; we are all big fans of Michael Jackson.”
Westlife have previously duetted with the like of Diana Ross and Mariah Carey.
Should this new duet go ahead it will be a ballad rather then a more up beat track…more ‘Ben’ then ‘Thriller’ unfortunatley.
Michael Jackson is currently living with his children in Bahrain after being acquitted of 10 counts of child molestation.
