Ok... so who's coppin'?

Michael Jackson is ailing from a rare lung condition and needs to undergo a transplant, according to the author of a new biography on the King of Pop.
Author Ian Halperin said Jackson, 50, suffers from Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, a condition that can be fatal.
“He's had it for years, but it's gotten worse,” Halperin said in an interview In Touch magazine. "He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”
Halperin also said Jackson "can barely speak'" and is having trouble seeing: "The vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone.”

As weird as Michael Jackson is, we know no one would’ve wished this on him. Hopefully he’ll pull through...
We love varsity jackets in Tingy's World! In recent months, there have been some great renditions of the classic, especially out of Japan. Here is another one, coming from Journal Standard.
The new hooded varsity jacket comes with a premium wool body, leather sleeves and leather accents on the pockets. The added hood is not only functional, but also looks great and they even managed to add some characteristics of the classic duffle coat. Niiice!

Soulja Boy Tell 'Em feat. Sammie - Kiss Me Through the Phone
We can always expect freshness from N.E.R.D. And Soulja Boy has an animated series? Wow. This young boy is gettin' money! We love it!
Take a look at a new gold metallic/black patent leather hi top that Japanese designer Hare just released. We love the gold, and also how the colors highlight different parts of the sneaker. And kudos for using the two white ankle straps.
Better ease up off those Twinkies Mike - you're starting to look more like George Foreman everyday.
Some countries have all of the luck. For the Japanese city of Wajima, lacquer ware has been ingrained in the cities cultural and historical background for many centuries. This concept takes form on the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi as part of a series of sneakers inspired by some of Japan’s traditional crafts and arts. Two colors of the Wajima Chuck Taylor are seen here - but they'll probably only be released in Japan. Damn!
Horrible. We love us some 'Ye, but this is an absolute travesty. Can't help but to feel a little bad for dude, though. He has been through an awful lot in the past year.
We wish one of those would have hit him... LOL. I'm sure he's happy to be getting out of the White House.
Design team Sam & Jude have come up with this unique doormat. Read it one way and it says Come In. Flip it around and it says Go Away. Pretty nifty. Ours is on the way!

We've seen many clothing lines try to recreate the jacket Michael Jackson wore in his legendary Thriller video, but none of them come close o this beautiful piece by Maison Martin Margiela.
This contrast nylon biker jacket comes in black with red stripe detail on the chest, back and arms forming an ‘M’ shape. It has zip fastening with a press stud fastening on the collar and waist, two outer zip pockets and an internal zip pocket.
Pharrell was rocking his two months ago (we hate rich celebrities!)
We don't care if Pharrell had it first! We're still coppin'! LOL

Word around the net is that this album will only be released in Japan. Hopefully she'll be able to sell more than the 10,000 albums she sold in the States with her last effort. Ouch!
If you're thinking about picking up a copy of the second highest grossing film of all time (behind Titanic) today, we got you! The Dark Knight grossed $529,143,070 (to date) and was one of the best movies, if not THE best movie of 2008. The film is available in stores now and we're giving you a serious hookup - letting you know what special deals are happening where and how much they cost (shout out to ctothejl for the connect). And you're welcome! You're all welcome!
