"I like to sing and dance, so this has been really fun," Holmes said. "I think it's important to let kids experience music and dancing and singing and the arts and also sports. This is the next generation, and I think it's important to give them every opportunity to grow and discover what it is that they like."

Former "American Idol" executive producer Lythgoe said his rewarding experience with "Idol Gives Back" inspired him to create another charity. "I have been a dancer, and involved in the dance world, for nearly 50 years — it's my passion," he said. "I feel very grateful to be in a position where I can now give back to the dance community."

Dizzy Feet already has the support of some other famous dancers: Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus are on the foundation's steering committee, along with "SYTYCD" choreographers Mia Michaels, Mary Murphy, Debbie Allen, Shane Sparks and Lil C.

But perhaps the most fascinating item is one from deep in Jackson's past: An official Motown Records identification card issued to Jackson when he and the rest of the Jackson 5 signed with the label in 1968.

Most of the items on display came directly from Jackson's private collection and were donated to the museum before he died. Like many places celebrating Jackson's life, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex has become something of a makeshift shrine, with people leaving notes, pictures, flowers and gifts outside the building in honor of the King of Pop.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland is also getting in on the action, adding a number of extra Jackson-related items to their already-impressive display. They've put out one of the Grammys Jackson won for Thriller in 1984, the red leather jacket from the "Thriller" video, the outfit he wore in the Martin Scorsese-directed "Bad" clip and a Rick Baker-designed mask Jackson wore during performances of "Thriller" on the tours for Dangerous and HIStory.

Rihanna may not have realized, when she tattooed a few of the tattoo artists at East Side Ink in New York on Wednesday night, that what she was doing was illegal.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed to MTV News on Thursday (June 2) that someone has been sent to the tattoo parlor to investigate the incident. In a statement, the department said, "Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City's Health Code. We are sending someone to follow up on this."

TMZ reported that if the department decides to press charges against the pop star for tattooing someone without a license, she could face three misdemeanors for the offense. And each offense has its penalty with as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third offense. Additionally, sources told the Web site that in addition to Rihanna, East Side Ink could be facing fines as well if an investigation is opened.
