• Spike Lee is turning to his fans to finance his new film. Recently, the director launched his very own Kickstarter campaign to raise $1.25 million. “With the current climate in The Hollywood Studio System it’s not an encouraging look for Independent Filmmakers,” writes Lee. “I’m not hating, just stating the facts. Super heroes, comic books, 3D special effects, blowing up the planet nine times and fly through the air while transforming is not my thang…” To date, Lee has raised $74,163. The campaign closes on August 21st. [Huffington Post]
• Katherine Jackson said she didn’t know her son, the late King of Pop, was abusing pills before his death. Yesterday, Jackson resumed her testimony on the stand during the AEG trial. “I knew he was taking them [pain pills] but I didn’t know he was abusing them,” she told the court. Jackson also revealed that her other children showed concern over Michael’s drug usage, which Michael later denied. [E! Online]
