Here is Michelle Williams pictures for “Until There’s A Cure” Campaign. I’m glad a mot of celebrities are beginning to get involved in a lot of AIDS awareness. It is definitely something that should not be ignored. Let MMIM know what you think about Michelle’s promo pics.

John Mayer is waiting for the world to change but giving the community a little help along the way!
John Mayer is more than just an artist and song writer. He is a community contributor and a leader who’s craft reflects his beliefs and thoughts on world issues. His latest project he took the stage to benefit VH1s Save The Music Foundation. Furthermore John is doing big things for military families along with Queen Latifah. “They pose with Elmo and Rosita to promote the upcoming PBS primetime special, “Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change.”
This half-hour HD special tells stories of service members who return home with injuries, visible and invisible, and explores the heroic struggles their families face in discovering a new way of finding a “new normal.” It salutes the extraordinary courage and strength of these military families and offers the general public a powerful glimpse into what they often must endure.
The special will air @ 8PM on PBS on April 1, in conjunction with April as the “Month of the Military Child.”
John Mayer on Sesame Street
As far as his music career goes, John Mayer has begun to collaborate more and is branching out to artists outside of his own genre. He is featured on Common’s song “Go!” and on a favorite song of mine, Kanye West’s “Bittersweet Poetry”. These collabos have allowed Mayer to received praise from hip hop legends such as Jay-Z and Nelly. When asked about his presence in the hip hop community (instead of his main genre), Mayer said, “It’s not music out there right now (rock genre). That’s why, to me, hip-hop is where rock used to be.” Mayer is now dating Jenifer Aniston, and the happy couple are supporting each other.

Kanye West will team up with MTV to honor Iraq War Veterans as part of a TV special called “Choose or Lose & Kanye West Present: Homecoming.” The 1 hour TV special will feature Kanye surprising young veterans in their homes, listening to their stories, and offering advice to help bring the troops back to some normalcy.
West says:
“There are hundred of veterans out there who are falling through the cracks. They make the ultimate sacrifices for us by laying down their lives, but it seems like a lot of them just get forgotten about. I know my music inspires and helps a lot of people. But you can always do more.”
The One Hour special will air on July 28 on MTV.
