Jennifer Hudson a no-show for Michael Jackson tribute concert

TrendPK.com: She was scheduled to play this weekend’s “Michael Forever” concert in Wales in a lineup that included Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Gladys Knight and others. So, why didn’t Jennifer Hudson show up? According to TMZ, both Hudson’s and the Jackson tribute show’s rep confirmed Hudson’s stated reason for backing out: the star said that did not have adequate time to prepare.

Hudson’s camp cited “production issues,” saying the singer was provided with details about the Michael Jackson song she would be covering a bit too late to master the requested performance. According to the tribute show’s camp, Hudson’s last minute cancellation was a shock, particularly since she had already been paid.

Ruling Conservative Entered Election As Underdog

TOKYO: Japanese cast ballots Sunday in hotly contested parliamentary elections in which the ruling conservative party, battered by a laggard economy and voter desire for change after more than half a century of virtual one-party rule, was expected to suffer an overwhelming defeat.

The Liberal Democratic Party, which has governed Japan for all but 11 months since 1955, went into the elections with all major polls projecting it would lose control of the lower house of parliament.

That would likely mean the fall of Prime Minister Taro Aso and his Cabinet and the creation of a new government headed by centrist Democratic Party of Japan chief Yukio Hatoyama — who would become the first prime minister not backed by the Liberal Democrats since 1994.

The vote is widely seen as a barometer of two related issues — voter frustrations over the ailing economy, which is in one of its worst slumps since World War II, and a loss of confidence in the Liberal Democrats’ ability to tackle tough problems such as the rising national debt and rapidly aging population.

But even with severe challenges pressing the nation, many analysts said the elections might not be about the issues so much as voters’ general desire for something new after nearly 54 years under the Liberal Democrats.

They also note that although the Democrats promise to change Japan’s approach toward its economy and make Tokyo’s diplomacy less U.S.-centric, their founders are defectors from the Liberal Democrats and are not likely to present too radical a departure from the country’s current path.
