NEW ORLEANS - Pop music is alive and well, proud and dynamic - and very much missing Michael Jackson, as the 200,000-plus fans attending the three-day Essence Music Festival can attest. The 15th anniversary celebration of African-American culture, presented on five stages within the Superdome, not surprisingly has become a series of Jackson tributes. Among highlights:
NEW YORK ? Us Weekly magazine has obtained video it says shows never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson's head catching on fire during filming of his 1984 Pepsi commercial.

The surge in sales of Michael Jackson's music catalog continued Wednesday with the announcement that his albums dominated the pop charts for the third consecutive week.
Stop me if this sounds familiar: American consumers bought a stunning 1.1 million Michael Jackson albums last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. One disc alone, the greatest-hits set Number Ones.
Neither one of them strangers to the strangest of headlines, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears also shared a stage. The duo performed "The Way You Make Me Feel" together for Jackson's 30th Anniversary Celebration.
