The remake of the classic features a customizable “evolutionary tree” and the ability to play original stages based on your own music.

SkyNews – Michael Jackson fans have launched a campaign calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The late star’s fans have flocked to sign online petitions supporting the move.

They say he should be honoured for his charity work and “lifelong dedication to the well being of humanity”.

So far, more than 2,000 people have added their names to the campaign started by Los Angeles student Anneliese Nichole Brown.

She hopes 100,000 will lend their support for the Thriller singer who died on June 25.

A similar petition has been signed by 10,000 fans.

News of the campaign is spreading virally online on sites such as Twitter.

However, nominations for the peace prize are not made according to public demand.

Members of governments, professors, and former winners of the prize are among those who can suggest names.

The campaign would need to win the support of someone eligible to nominate to get the musician’s name in the running.

Submissions start in September and the name is then announced the following October.

If the star did make the shortlist but he did not win, fans would have to wait a long time to find out – as the names of unsuccessful candidates are not revealed for 50 years.

Former winners of the prize include Nelson Mandela, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter.

Well, it wouldn’t be the same without them. Here are some of our favorite pictures from the first two days. Strangely, most of them are of women. Like everyone else, the photographer is probably too scared of girls to actually talk to them, so he just snaps away.

Gawker – They walk the red carpet, they are stalked by the paparazzi, but no one knows their names or cares who they are. Yes, here are the lesser-known celebrity siblings–unlucky to not be famous, lucky to share fame’s lifestyle.

Gawker – It’s no secret that Paula Abdul’s position on the judging panel of American Idol is as tenuous as her grasp on reality. Where should she turn for inspiration? Try So You Think You Can Dance’s resident loon, Mary Murphy.

Mary Murphy, on the other hand, is a kook with some cred. Not only did she have a legit dancing career, but her over enthusiasm is saved for the contestants that actually earn it. For those who do less than stellar, she gives them constructively critical remarks.

TMZ – A $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated, custom casket has been ordered for Michael Jackson.

The casket ordered last night from Batesville Casket Company — is called a Promethean and will feature a flame blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish.

This is the same casket used to bury James Brown… and is extremely rare.

Aintitcool – Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Methinks someone high up at Universal is having a bit of Peter Pan complex. There are worse things for an executive to have, for sure… But this is the studio that’s working to bring us Candyland and Battleship and now they’ve jumped from the board game to the classic arcade game.
