Rob Pattinson, Adam Lambert, Melissa Etheridge and more stars shared their thoughts about the one-year anniversary of the King of Pop Michael Jackson's death.
"Michael Jackson has been a huge influence on me," Lambert said. "I mean you really look at male pop stars, and the theatrical ones who really took it to the limit are few and far between.

On the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, Donny Osmond shares his memories of the late King of Pop, and he opens up about his sister Marie's healing process following the loss of her son. "My fondest memory with Michael, we were both 14 years old, and it was right after the first American Music Awards; we presented an award," Donny tells ET. "And we thought, 'We're hungry!' So we hopped in the back of my limo, drove to Jack-in-the-Box, and we were sticking our heads out the moon roof eating tacos and driving down Sunset Blvd. We were both laughing our heads off." "It's still hard for me to imagine a year after his death that he's still gone, that Michael isn't with us," Donny adds. "But his music lives on. Michael will always be with us."

The mother of Joran van der Sloot -- who police say is a confessed killer -- says her son is no monster and suggests that he missed his calling as an actor.
In an interview with Dutch news station The Telegraph, obtained by ABC News, Anita van der Sloot talks about her reaction to people saying her son is guilty, saying, "As a mother, you don’t want to hear things like 'He's a serial killer or he’s a monster,' because he is not. I don’t have that image of him, so it's very hard to hear that."
As the ABC report points out, the accusations started not with the death of Stephany Floress in Peru but in Aruba after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005. While Joran has never been officially charged, he remains the prime suspect in that ongoing investigation.
