Following last Tuesday night's celebration honoring Michael Jackson's 30 years as a solo recording artist, Michael informed the world that he would soon honor the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy with another tribute to himself.

Michael would not comment further on this upcoming event, but an insider said that the event will be even more spectacular than his last. When asked what could possibly top Whitney Houston's smoking rendition of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and also the rousing performance of "Dancing Machine" by N'Sync and Michael himself, the insider said nothing more, only telling his fans to expect something spectacular.

Jackson performed Tuesday night with his brothers, reuniting the Jackson 5 for the first time in years. Many believe that this blast from the past may lead Michael to do something truly amazing with his next stint. They believe that the original boy band(it) may actually don the appearance of a black man for the first time since 1986.

"This is just wonderful. How many artists could actually pull off a shameless act of self-promotion and honor the victims of 9/11 at the same time?" asked the insider.
