Jackson's 'Captain EO' to return to Disneyland
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Captain EO" is moonwalking back to Disneyland.
The theme park announced plans Friday to bring back the 3-D sci-fi film starring Michael Jackson next February, over 23 years after the attraction debuted in Anaheim, Calif. The 17-minute film starred the late King of Pop as a singing-and-dancing intergalactic commander. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and executive produced by George Lucas.
In the film, Jackson leads a goofy alien and robot crew as they battle a wicked queen played by Anjelica Huston. "Captain EO" originally opened in Disneyland's Tommorrowland in 1986 and ran for more than a decade. Identical versions later opened at other Disney theme parks. They were all closed by 1998.
Jackson died June 25 at age 50.
Bundchen reveals name of son with Brady: Benjamin
BOSTON (AP) - The baby boy keeping New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen awake at night has a name: Benjamin.
The baby was born Dec. 8. But the day after the birth, Brady said he and Bundchen hadn't chosen a name. Word finally came out Friday when Bundchen posted a holiday message on her Web site.
Bundchen revealed the baby's name when she wrote, "Benjamin is a blessing and I could not be happier."
Brady and Bundchen were married in February. Benjamin is Bundchen's first child. Brady also has a 2-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Brady had joked earlier in the week about how hard it was to sleep with a new baby in the house, saying it was "a little tough early." He added, "It's coming."
