For the second time in two years, the International Mozarteum Foundation has announced the discovery of previously unknown music by Mozart. A pianist will perform the composition Aug. 2 in a Salzburg house where the composer once resided, EarthTimes reported. The foundation did not reveal any details of the find. A single sheet of a Mozart work was found in September of last year in a library in Nantes, France, where it had lain unnoticed for more than 100 years. “It’s a melody sketch, so what’s missing is the harmony and the instrumentation, but you can make sense out of it,” foundation researcher Ulrich Leisinger told the CBC. Mozart, who lived only to be 35, published more than 600 pieces, including concertos, symphonies and operas.

Commander Neil Armstrong's words defined our history. His historic first step onto the moon in 1969 truly was "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Even his name is larger than life. "That's one small step for a man...." said Neil Armstrong -- but depending on whom you ask, they may not have been the first words spoken from the moon. Share A Hollywood restoration company makes the first moonwalk footage clearer. They weren't? Armstrong's crewmate, Buzz Aldrin, sometimes claims that he got in the first line. Six hours earlier, as the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle touched down, it was Aldrin who called out, "Contact light." If the subject is Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon tends to turn churlish. He will defer, deflect or refuse to answer. When his little home town of Wapakoneta, Ohio, sought to honor him with a parade on the 25th anniversary of his moonwalk, Armstrong sent his regrets. He once pleaded to

A SECOND man has died after the collapse of a stage being set up for a Madonna concert in Marseille France. The victim is thought to be a British man, 32, who had been in intensive care in a neurosurgery ward since the accident yesterday. A Frenchman, 53, was killed on the spot when the giant structure collapsed during the set-up for the concert, which was later cancelled. Eight other people were seriously hurt, including an American who was in a life-threatening condition. About 36 people had minor injuries. More than 30 people suffered minor injuries and shock, according to authorities. The roof "started shaking and collapsing" gradually, said Marseille city councillor Maurice Di Nocera. "Since it did not collapse right away that allowed several people to get out," he said. Madonna, who is performing on her Sticky and Sweet tour, was in Udine, Italy, when she was told of the incident. "I am devastated to have just received this tragic news," she said in

She wanted to shed her Hannah Montana wings, now it looks like Miley Cyrus will get her wish, literally. Temple Hill Productions partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey — better known as two members of the team who originally brought "Twilight" to the big screen — are now planning to work with another rising star, Miley Cyrus. Variety reported today that Temple Hill, along with Miley's mama Tish Cyrus , will produce Miley's next project "Wings." Disney – which produces Hannah and is preparing her screen vehicle The Last Song – has bought screen rights to author Aprilynne Pike's bestselling young adult novel Wings for the 16-year-old star. Tish Cyrus, mother of Miley, will executive produce with Temple Hill, the same company that produced Twilight. Wings refers to the physical appendage sprouted by Laurel, a sheltered 15-year-old who suddenly discovers she's a fairy.

Supposedly a text message from John Mayer was the final straw in Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo's already rocky relationship. Radar Online reports that Tony dumped Jess on the spot when he picked up her phone, only to find that she'd been chatting back and forth with stinky J.M. John's friend speaks out: "No way," sasses a very close pal to lady-lovin' Mayer. "Exes talk every now and then. Maybe they texted, but there would be nothing romantic or threatening to Tony behind the message. If it happened." Yeah, we never bought the love triangle for a sec—even though it might give Jess and John back their 15 minutes of tabloid fame. Wouldn't put it past them for another "unplanned" rendezvous to keep getting talked about. But don't read too much into the apparent secret dinner dates. It's way more coincidental than that. After all, two press-loving people are bound to hit the same paparazzi-infested spot sooner or later. Our source i

According to her wishes, the papers cannot resell the pictures or publish them more than 30 days after the concert.

Madonna is used to being the center of attention. Now, she’s in the middle of the tension between the two main men in her life: 22-year old beau Jesus Luz and ex-husband Guy Ritchie. “Guy is with Madonna a lot these day and was invited to a party at her house with some of their mutual friends last weekend,” a source told UK’s The Daily Mail. “It’s uncomfortable for Jesus having to be around Guy so much and very hypocritical- Madonna has banned Jesus from speaking to any of his ex-girlfriends.” JESUS, could things be getting tense between Madonna and her toyboy lover Jesus Luz? The 22-year-old is said to be annoyed over the amount of time the Queen of Pop is spending with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

The Nashville police said Wednesday that Steve McNair was murdered by his girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, who used the same gun to kill herself. Jealousy drove Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend to shoot the former star NFL quarterback to death while he slept and then to kill herself, the Nashville police chief said on Wednesday. Sahel Kazemi shot McNair, 36, in the head while he dozed on the couch of his condominium in the early hours of Saturday, then pumped three more bullets into his head and body, police said. She then sat down beside him and shot herself in the head, apparently intending to fall into his lap. Her body later slid to the floor of McNair's shared rented condominium. Serpas said evidence at the scene and forensic tests showed that all five bullets were fired from Kazemi’s gun and showed gunpowder residue on her hands. He said associates of Kazemi’s told investigators she was distraught recently. Kazemi apparently believed McNair was having a relationship with an

Michael Jackson albums dominated the album charts for the second week in a row, moving over 800,000 copies of various albums, lead by the hits compilation Number Ones. If the Jackson albums weren’t relegated to the Catalog Albums chart (anything released 18 months ago or earlier has its sales tracked on that chart), he would own the three of the top five slots on this week’s chart. Michael Jackson sold more records than anyone in the country this past week, just like last week: a stunning 800,000 albums in total, including 339,000 copies of Number Ones and 187,000 copies of Thriller, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But just like last week, those two best-sellers were only counted for Billboard's Top Comprehensive Albums chart due to their age, leaving NOW That's What I Call Music! 31 to top the flagship Billboard 200 albums chart with a comparatively small 169,000 units shifted. Such are Billboard's rules. Note that this makes two weeks in a row where catalog albums have so

Michael Jackson's dermatologist said he had sedated the pop star in the past for painful medical procedures but had never given him dangerous sedatives like Propofol to use. "I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving him overdoses of drugs or too much of anything," Dr. Arnold Klein said in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "In fact, I was the one who limited everything, who stopped everything." Klein said he did sedate Jackson in the past for painful procedures, but did not give him anything dangerous. "How am I going to prescribe Diprivan when I don't know how to use it?"

Brooke Shields was 13 when she first met Michael Jackson and the two "instantly became friends" — mainly because sexual tension was off the table."Nothing was jaded about him," the 44-year-old actress told Rolling Stone magazine for a special commemorative issue about the King of Pop, on sale Friday. Although I wasn't old enough to develop an infatuation with Brooke Shields' post-"Blue Lagoon" eyebrows or lust after her Calvins, I can look back at those pics and get it. Seriously. Especially this one. But the one thing I never quite understood was her friendship with Michael Jackson. The two couldn't have seemed more like polar opposites. And despite what Paula Abdul has taught us, opposites do not always attract. However in her first interview since the King of Pop's passing, Brooke tells Rolling Stone that their lack of sexual chemistry is exactly what made the relationship work. For Brooke, being "the most celebrated virgin ever&quo

Michael Jackson's family and close friends held a private service at a Los Angeles cemetery on Tuesday as fans crowded into the city's downtown area for a star-packed public memorial to the "King of Pop." After winning a random drawing for tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial, fans danced and sang on Monday, and some tried to make a buck, while city officials girded for the throngs expected to show up at the Tuesday event, invited or not. As organizers distributed free pairs of tickets on Monday to 8,750 of the more 1.6 million people who had applied online for them, offers of tickets priced from a few hundred to several thousand dollars appeared on Web sites like eBay and Craigslist. Site administrators rushed to remove the postings, saying such sales were not authorized by the Staples Center, the downtown arena that will host the event. Organizers of the memorial said they were confident security measures would limit illegitimate ticket holders. Late Monday night
