Listen: Michael Jackson's First Posthumous Single 'Breaking News'

A "new" posthumous Michael Jackson album is on its way in mid-December. SONY Music's fluff on the release:

"The creative process never stopped for the King of Pop who was always planning for his next album; unbeknownst to many fans around the world Michael Jackson was writing and recording songs continuously everywhere from a friend’s home in New Jersey to studios in Las Vegas and Los Angeles with a small group of handpicked collaborators. Now, through the unique stories that will be told about the songs that comprise MICHAEL, fans will get mind-blowing insight into how this artist worked and a chance to hear the songs he most recently created along with tracks that Michael had a desire to bring to fruition. 'Breaking News,' a never heard before song by Michael that appears on the new album was recorded in New Jersey in 2007 and recently brought to completion."

There has been some controversy about whether or not the vocals on the album are genuinely Michael Jackson:

His nephews, TJ and Taryll Jackson, have now complained on Twitter about the track's "fake" and "shady" vocals.

Sony said in its statement that it had "complete confidence in the results of our extensive research, as well as the accounts of those who were in the studio with Michael, that the vocals on the new album are his own".

Bill Maher thinks last weekend's rally to "Restore Sanity" in DC needed more depth: "If you're going to have a rally... you might as well make it about something."

Like Rachel Maddow, Vermont Senator Bernie Sander is outraged over Keith Olbermann's suspension: "This is a real threat to political discourse in America and will have a chilling impact on every commentator for MSNBC."

Good post-election day news from Hawaii: "After Tuesday's election, civil unions picked up at least one vote in the Senate and lost a vote in the House, which is still four more votes than the 26 needed for a bill to pass, according to Equality Hawaii, which advocates for the legislation."

How can anything Sarah Palin does be considered "non-political?"

NY Mag on James Franco: "Franco, you might say, is queering celebrity: erasing the border not just between gay and straight but between actor and artist, heartthrob and intellectual, junk TV and art museum. His obvious relish for gay roles challenges the default heterosexuality of Hollywood leading men like Clooney or Pitt."

Larry King Preview: Lady Gaga Talks 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', Gay Blood Ban, and Anti-Gay Discrimination

Lady Gaga guests on tonight's Larry King Live. A few previews of the show have popped up.

In one, Gaga is asked about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and anti-gay discrimination.

Says Gaga: "I just think that in terms of education - sexual education, political education, and social education in schools, I think it's important to be specific about civil rights and a person's worth. No person is worth any less than another human being based on their sexual orientation."

In another, she is asked about her health, and her relationship with Michael Jackson.
