Moonwalking on the charts

Interest in Michael Jackson's music has soared since his untimely death on June 25.

Last week, MJ's music made history when nine of his albums appeared on Billboard's Top 10 Album chart, selling 415,000 copies.

A week later, the interest continues to heat up: According to Nielsen SoundScan, Jackson albums, which now claim the entire Top 10, this week sold 800,000 copies. His compilation Number Ones claims the No. 1 spot.

Meanwhile, Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart features five Jackson tunes, including "Man in the Mirror" among the top 10 spots.

Waylett was arrested in April when cops raided his mum's house in the North London borough of Camden. Waylett, due back in court later this month, could face up to 14 years for cannabis production. The lesser charge of possession carries a sentence of five years max.

Brooke also complimented hubby Chris Henchy's facility in the kitchen: "He makes me coffee every morning, even if I have a 5 a.m. flight . . . I love the way he makes it."
