#WhatsHappening for April 10, 2016

One of my coworkers was surprised that I was "only" getting a $3 refund on my taxes.

Me? I'm surprised when people get big tax returns. Think about it- if you took that "big" refund amount and put it into a savings account, you're at least going to get interest on it. Do that by overpaying on your taxes and you're giving a free loan to the government. You're not really getting anything out of it. And- unless you do your own taxes, 100%- you're losing money there, too.

So- happy tax week!

I didn't think you could make him creepier.

The southern Indian city of Chennai is now home to a larger than life statue of Michael Jackson.

Self-describe "die-hard" fan Chandrasekaran carved the statue out of a single piece of black granite. He said he had tried to donate the statue to Jackson's family but was unable to do so.

The statue was unveiled at Vels University by film star Prabhu Deva, famous in India for his Jackson-inspired dance moves.

Chandrasekaran told the BBC that the 10'-3" statue was made by six sculptors and took 45 days to chisel it out of a single piece of rock, and that the sculptors repeatedly watched the Beat It music video to get his posture correct, and studied "thousands" of photographs to get his features correct.

American Idol is over. Fifteen years' too late, if you ask me.

Then again, the closest I get to "reality" shows are the shows on the Science Channel. I may watch crap, but at least it's not complete crap.

Can we stop with the "No GMOs" as a sales pitch? Pretty much everything you eat has been bred to grow, look, and taste a certain way. That's genetically modified- whether you admit it or not. Unless you're literally picking your food from the wild, you're eating something that's GMO. I know, these ads are talking about test tube seeds and the like- but that's splitting hairs. Or would that be heirs?

Say "hello" to her little friend.

Kylie Minogue, Jess Glynne, and Katherine Jenkins will be among the stars performing at Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday celebrations.

The event will be part of a four night celebration hosted by Ant and Dec in May, and will be held on the private grounds of Windsor Castle and be broadcast by ITV on May 15th.

Also performing will be Beverley Knight, Martin Clunes, Damian Lewis, Alfie Boe, John Boyega, James Blunt, and Jim Carter. Absolutely Fabulous comedian Jennifer Saunders, actress Imelda Staunton and Alan Titchmarsh will also participate.

Jenkins described said being asked to perform was "such an honour"

The celebration will tell the story of the Queen's life, from her birth in 1926 to her coronation in 1953, and her reign spanning more than 60 years.

Hosts Ant and Dec said: "This spectacular evening will bring together some of the best known names in the entertainment world who will perform with 900 horses and 1,500 participants to mark this very special birthday."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies were held Friday night. Cheap Trick managed to put aside their hard feelings with former drummer Bun E. Carlos long enough to storm through a three song set- something that other big name bands have failed to do time and again- including Cheap Trick co-inductees Chicago.

Others inducted at the ceremony include Deep Purple, N.W.A., the Steve Miller Band, and Bert Berns.

The show will be broadcast on HBO on April 30.

Birthdays today include: Mandy Moore; Bryce Soderberg of Lifehouse; Mike Mushok of Staind; Kenny Lattimore; Afrika Bambaataa; Babyface; Brian Setzer; Steve Gustafson of 10,000 Maniacs; Bunny Livingston of Bob Marley & Wailers. #MusicalBirthdays
