Yesterday, collaborators, family members, admirers and fans came together around the world to celebrate the premiere of "Michael Jackson's This Is It," the concert film that gives fans a chance to enjoy live performances of some of the King of Pop's signature hits one final time. The film premiered in 17 cities around the world simultaneously last night, and there were red carpet extravaganzas all over the world. In addition to the big event in Los Angeles (which saw Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert show up), there were high-profile premieres in New York (featuring Ice-T and Rosie Perez), Sydney, Australia (which featured an appearance by T-Pain), London (where Passion Pit showed up) and Johannesburg, South Africa (which saw a multitude of fans get together to perform the dance from "Thriller").
But perhaps the greatest (and most unhinged) premiere took place in Tokyo, Japan, where Lionel Richie greeted a multitude of diehards — some clearly more enthusiastic than others.
