*Michael Jackson's hometown of Gary, Indiana will hold a tribute in his honor on Saturday, a day before what would have been his 52nd birthday.

In a press release, Gary Mayor Rudy Clay says the tribute will celebrate the King of Pop's memory as a great and giving person and as the world's greatest entertainer.

Organizers say the event Saturday will include local entertainers and a Michael Jackson impersonator, reports the Associated Press.

The Jackson Family moved from Gary to Los Angeles after the Jackson 5 struck it big in 1969.

Jackson died in June 2009 from an overdose of sedatives.

*Most women do about 11 things at the same time (including talking on the phone)-especially if they're married with children! We get good at responsibility-juggling because we have to:

There's a job to manage, diapers to change, a house to clean, books to read, friends to reach out to, not to mention a husband to care for. We know how it feels to lose heart when we get burdened by too many responsibilities.

While your husband may not juggle the same number of details you do, the challenges he deals with are heavy ones, too-starting with a wife to love and serve, a career at which to succeed, even children to nurture.

And, just like you, he can lose heart while carrying heavy responsibilities.

That's one of the reasons why God put people together in marriage -- for mutual encouragement. Unfortunately, building up is harder work than demolishing, which comes all too naturally!

But an encouraged husband makes a great life partner -- he's more positive, responsive, and better equipped to work and serve your whole family.

Say thanks.
If you find it hard to come up with ways to encourage your husband, saying thanks is a great place to start. If things are rocky just now and you don't feel particularly thankful for your husband (believe me, this happens!), start small. Thank him for holding open a door, picking up the newspaper after he's finished, or tucking your kids into bed.

Many women hold back grateful affirmations because they think, Why should I thank him for things he should do anyway?! The first reason to do it is because you've signed up for this gig (being his wife). The second is that your positive words pave the way for your husband to do more of the same.

DeShawn and Eric Snow - in better days

*She was kicked off of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for being to boring, but Bravo may want to consider bringing back DeShawn Snow after reports of her husband's extramarital affair that just weeks ago produced a child.

Eric and his soon-to-be ex-wife, DeShawn Snow formerly of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," are in the middle of high profile divorce case and it is reported that he is worth $20 million dollars. Early reports are that he may have to shell out an estimated $8 million dollars to his wife along with their Atlanta estate which the couple shared with their three sons. DeShawn is said to be working on a Disney project with their three boys and hopefully she's keeping her head up. Divorce or not, Eric welcoming a daughter in this world can't possibly be easy on her.

According to TMZ, Mocienne Petit Jackson filed legal documents with L.A. County Superior Court claiming she was conceived in 1975 when MJ, then 17, secretly impregnated her mother Barbara ... who happens to be Diana Ross' sister.

Mocienne, who now lives in the Netherlands, claims when she was 9-years-old, Michael's mother Katherine hatched a plan to "abduct" her and send her to Belgium to protect Michael's "reputation." She claims all 7 of her abductors were later murdered.

The woman says she is coming forward now so she can "formally claim my part of my father's inheritance." She also wants custody of MJ's kids so she can give them a "more normal life."

MPJ also claims she was diagnosed with Vitiligo, a skin disorder that Michael shared.
