SURFIN’ THE NEW WAVE

Prince

’80s music has a tendency to be either totally reviled or totally adored. The truth lies somewhere in the middle (don’t it always?) and while we’re not about to put on leg warmers again or follow any of Lionel Richie’s style tips, there’s some quality tuneage from that decade, including our Hump Day selections this week: Prince‘s “Let’s Work” from the still sizzlin’ Controversy, and for the saucier Hump pick we have Adam & The Ants‘ salute to beating out a good time, “Whip In My Valise.” Just think, the long weekend is only days away!

Sweet prince

BBC News, Krindjabo, Ivory Coast

Villagers attending funeral

A "funeral" for pop star Michael Jackson has been taking place in the village of Krindjabo, where he was crowned a prince of the Anyi people on a visit to the country in 1992.

The village has been in mourning since his death on 25 June.

The villagers appealed without success to have the body returned, but since his official funeral in Los Angeles they have decided he also needs to be properly buried according to the customs in the Sanwi kingdom.

The village football pitch here has been transformed into a green square surrounded on all sides by tents full of what I guess is around 1,000 people from the village and – like us – from Abidjan to formally say goodbye to one of the biggest pop music stars of the last 50 years.

You may know him as Michael Jackson, but here he is Prince Michael Amalaman Anoh.

One of the organisers of the event, Emmanuel Kassy Kofi, said they had appealed through the international media and the US embassy in Abidjan for Michael Jackson’s body to be returned.

Michael Jackson was enthroned as a king-in-waiting and should normally be buried in a river.

"If for example the Americans or his family permitted for us to bring the body here we’d do what needs to be done," Mr Kofi said.

"We asked for the body – it’s for us. It was Michael Jackson himself who tested his DNA and said it’d be good to find his family.

"And by certain signs the King also recognised certain signs that he was part of the dynasty. And the royal seat that the king’s sitting on – Michael Jackson sat on it too."

The organisers say his spirit is already here and will be put to rest.

The whole village is in mourning here until Sunday when the successor to Prince Michael Jackson Amalaman Anoh will be announced.

Until then, the party and memorials will continue well into the night. </p

Malay prince sues Indonesian wife

July 21st, 2009 | No Comments

Manohara Odelia Pinot, on return to Indonesia 31 May 2009

A Malaysian prince has sued his runaway Indonesian teen wife and mother-in-law.

They had claimed he had tortured the teenager during the couple’s year-long marriage.

Tengku Temenggong Tengku Mohammad Fakhry, a prince in northern Kelantan state, filed a defamation suit in the High Court.

He is seeking 105 million ringgit ($30m, £18m) in damages from Manohara Odelia Pinot and her mother, said lawyer Mohamad Haaziq Pillay.

The 17-year-old Ms Pinot returned to Indonesia in May and told media that the 31-year-old Mr Fakhry had slashed her with razor blades and treated her as a sex slave.

She reportedly said she was held captive in her room and drugged whenever she complained.

She allegedly escaped while accompanying the state royal family on a trip to Singapore and filed a police report in Indonesia shortly afterward.

The scandal has captured widespread media attention in both Malaysia and Indonesia.

‘Concoction’

Mr Fakhry’s lawsuit accuses Ms Manohara and her mother, Daisy Fajarina, of concocting the allegations "out of spite" and "motivated by a desire of financial gains," the lawyer said.

"They have made my client out to be a monster and his reputation has been tarnished. My client is keen to get to the truth of the matter and clear his name," he told the Associated Press.

"Anyone can say anything but do they have proof This is the time for them to come forward and prove their allegations," he was quoted as telling state news agency Bernama.

The two women, who are in Indonesia, have 21 days to respond to the suit, or the case could go on in their absence.

The prince married the teenager last year after she turned 16, but her mother has said Ms Manohara had been kidnapped.

The prince has since petitioned for a divorce.</p
