Why They're About to Pop: Madcon are a Norwegian urban duo comprised of Tshawe Baqwa and Yosef Wolde-Mariam. Formed in 1992, the charismatic rappers created a name for themselves supporting the likes of Destiny's Child, 50 Cent, Alicia Keys and many others. In 2000, Madcon released their first single, 'God Forgive Me,' but it wasn't until the release of 'Barcelona,' their hit single with Paperboys, that they truly broke new ground in their career. Their debut album, 'It's All a Madcon,' was released in 2004 and was awarded a Norwegian Grammy. A year later, the duo erupted on the TV scene as the hosts of the show 'The Voice of Madcon' while Baqwa also competed on, and won, 'Dancing With the Stars.' Madcon's sophomore album, 'So Dark the Con of Man,' was released in Norway in 2007 and earned platinum status in just three days. Dubbed "the biggest hip-hop act in Europe," Madcon are now ready to take on the States with their funk/soul/hip-hop stylings on their third album, 'InCONvenient Truth,' which is due out later this year. Until then, Madcon have released a digital EP called 'Conquest' as a taste of what's to come. Stay tuned, America.

King adds, "He may have been a good singer, but the bottom line is would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson?" Watch >>

A judge said Monday that Michael Jackson's longtime attorney and a family friend should take over the pop singer's estate for now, rejecting a request from Jackson's mother to be put in charge. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff backed attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, who had been designated in Jackson's 2002 will as the people he wanted to administer his estate. Attorneys for the pop singer's mother repeatedly objected to their appointment at Monday's court hearing. Jackson died June 25, deeply in debt.
