Just hours before the devastating death of Michael Jackson on Thursday, Lionsgate announced that the King of Pop’s sister Janet Jackson would star in the Tyler Perry sequel ‘Why Did I Get Married Too.’ No word yet on whether she’ll still tackle the role in the wake of her brother’s passing.

In related news, just hours before the U.S. premiere of Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Bruno,’ Universal and director Larry Charles decided to cut a scene from the film in which Baron Cohen’s flamboyant alter-ego pokes fun at Michael Jackson during an interview with his sister LaToya. The clip may be added back in before the movie’s release on July 10. Should the scene be cut?
