"We are the world" - Remake - Should it have ever been redone?

A remake of Michael Jackson's 'We Are the World' to benefit Haiti has Jay-Z a little upset. And I have to admit that while I'm not as publicly outraged I do believe that to remake the song takes away something from the charm of the original. I think that we should stop remaking things and create some original new music that can in itself last through the years as the original "We Are The World" song has.

As for Jay - Z he says "I have a interesting take on that," he tells MTV News. "I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: 'We Are the World,' I love it, and I understand the point and think it's great. But I think 'We Are the World' is like [Michael Jackson's] 'Thriller' to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched."

"I'm a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that's going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but 'We are the World' is [musically] untouchable like 'Thriller' is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it's gonna be untouchable," the rap mogul added.

Can You Believe An 'Oceans 11'-Style Hit on Hamas Man?

Cue up the Mission Impossible theme music - this one reads like a story ripped out of an episode of Mission Impossible. The assassination, as described by Tamim, could have been pulled from any number of great spy movies like James Bond, The Bourne Idenity, a John le Carré novel or a Jerry Weintraub movie.

Just as commonly seen in Mission Impossible, the hit men and women apparently used false European IDs to get into the country and disguised themselves with beards and wigs while stalking their target. Al-Mabhouh, the founder of Hamas' military wing, was then ambushed and slain by team members who had sneaked into his hotel room.

Dubai's attorney general today issued an international arrest warrant against the alleged 11-strong hit squad that tailed and killed a top Hamas official in his hotel room on Jan. 20.
