NEW YORK – Spike Lee will direct a live webcast of a concert featuring John Legend and the Roots.

The concert, to be held in New York on Sept. 23, is the second part of "Unstaged," a live concert series presented by American Express. The first was an Arcade Fire concert, whose webcast in August from Madison Square Garden was directed by Terry Gilliam.

All over the world people celebrated what would have been Michael Jackson's 52nd birthday on August 29th. Spike Lee and Brooklyn did it big in Prospect Park even through all the heat. We want to see how you celebrated. Members post your Michael Jackson celebration photos to your profile in the COMMUNITY section. We will choose some of your photographs to be posted up and featured on our blog. From those photographs Spike will choose a GRAND PRIZE WINNER who will receive the commemorative t-shirt and a runner-up who will receive the commemorative poster.
