Jay-Z brings stars to New York on 9/11

Rap superstar JAY-Z brought together a star-studded line-up including his wife BEYONCE, SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS, KANYE WEST, RIHANNA and MARY J. BLIGE on Friday night (11Sep09) to help raise money for victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

More than 20,000 fans filled New York City's famous Madison Square Garden for a special tribute concert, eight years to the day after the city was brought to a standstill by the Al Qaeda-lead attacks.

And they were treated to a spectacular show, including duets with Kanye West and Rihanna and a solo performance from Jay-Z's spouse Beyonce.

After paying tribute to Michael Jackson with a cover of the Jackson 5 hit I Want You Back, the New Yorker also offered a call of solidarity to the sell-out crowd in his hometown, telling them, 'They believed they would weaken us. They were sorely mistaken... We stand here tonight even stronger.'

The one-off gig raised more than USD 1 million (Pounds 666,000) for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.

MICHAEL JACKSON's daughter, Paris shares her 'heart'

PARIS literally gave her dad her heart as he lay at peace the day before his memorial tribute concert in Los Angeles in July (09).

The grief-stricken girl bought a split-heart pendant and insisted on wrapping half around her father's wrist and wearing the other half on a chain around her neck.

Paris visited the cemetery to pay her respects to the King of Pop with her aunts La Toya and Rebbie.

La Toya recalls, 'She wanted Michael to have that heart because it's the kind that separates - a love heart. She wanted to put it around his neck and we couldn't get it around his neck, so she wrapped it around his right wrist.
'And she's still wearing the other half today. She said, 'I will never ever... let this go. I will wear it every day of my life.''
