Now what is MJ doing...
Michael Jackson Unmasked
Police found a famous face under a ski mask when they were called to a Wal-Mart in Colorado for a suspected burglary. It turned out to be Michael Jackson.
Jackson is in Colorado holidaying with his children and went out for a morning shopping spree on Tuesday morning to the nearby Wal-Mart store in Glenwood Springs.
In true Jackson style, by not trying to attract attention, the singer always seems to end up attracting attention by putting on ridiculous disguises. In this case, he wore a ski mask into the store.
Security was alerted when the masked man was seen wandering the ailses and police were called. By the time they arrived, Jackson had already left the building but found the masked man, still masked, in his vehicle.
Police asked for the masked man to reveal himself. He did and it was Jackson who said he wore the mask to remain incognito. No further action was taken.

The Eagles Go Back On The Road
The Eagles have reactivated for 2004. The first of 13 shows will kick-off in Las Vegas on May 22.
The new dates will be the start of a tour that will see them venture away from the USA later in the year, quite possibly to Australia for shows before Christmas. An Australian tour will be their first in 10 years.
The Eagles most recent release 'The Very Best of The Eagles' has just sold over one million units in the USA. It contained the new song 'Hole In The World', recorded for their first new studio album in 24 years which is yet to see the light of day. Certain Eagles notables suggest the next Eagles album may be attached to the Guns 'n' Roses 'Chinese Democracy' release schedule (ie: believe it when you see it).
Interest in new music for The Eagles is obviously high. 'Hole In The World' was the 8th biggest selling single of 2003 in the USA according to Neilson-Soundscan.
So what to expect of The Eagles live in 2004? Well, if their new setlist is anything like last year's, expect a lot of solo songs.
Set 1
The Long Run, New Kid in Town, Wasted Time, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Hole in the World, Love Will Keep Us Alive, Boys of Summer (Don Henley), Take it to the Limit, Already Gone, In the City, One of These Nights
Set 2
James Dean, Lyin' Eyes, I Can't Tell You Why, Walk Away (Joe Walsh), Tequila Sunrise, Sunset Grill (Don Henley), Turn to Stone (Joe Walsh), You Belong to the City (Glenn Frrey), Life's Been Good (Joe Walsh), Dirty Laundry(Don Henley), Funk #49 (Joe Walsh), Heartache Tonight, Life in the Fastlane
Encore 1
Hotel California
Encore 2
Rocky Mountain Way (Joe Walsh), All She Wants to do is Dance (Don Henley)
Encore 3: Take it Easy, Desperado
All up, The Eagles perform a three hour show.

James Brown Feels Good About Touring
In 1962, a not so well-known James Brown put on a show at New York's Apollo Theater. The show was recorded, released as a live album and went on to become his biggest album ever. It was a bench-mark live performance. Now, 42 years later, the album is about to be re-released in expanded form, remastered, remixed and containing bonus tracks.
"I put the money up for that show when no-one believed in me" James tells Undercover News. "It was financed by me. The amazing thing is when you see me now, you can't believe that it is still happening like that".
Brown performed the show at Apollo Theater, 253 West 125th Street, Harlem, New York on Wednesday's Amateur Night October 24, 1962 in front of 1,500 people. When the album was first released, only 5,000 copies were pressed. Of the 5000, 10% were released in an innovative new format at the time called stereo.
The 70 year old Brown says he has as much energy now as he did then and when he last performed in Australia 10 years ago. "You are gonna love the show. We are ready to go".
For his live performance, he always has the Apollo show to use as a point of reference but he has been known to change the act. "When we need that kind of show, we do that kind of show" he says. "If they just want entertainment and me to ease off just a little bit, then I back off. We want to entertain the people. We come to entertain".
James Brown Live at the Apollo will be reissued in March 23.
Brown heads to Australia in April to play the Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival as well as show in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena April 6 and Sydney's Entertainment Centre on April 7.
