Michael sang the National Anthem at the 6th Annual Desert Smash. The event benefits Variety of the Desert – the Children’s Charity, which is dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and well-being of underprivileged and special needs children in the Coachella Valley.
It looks like he also got to spend some time on the courts!
The soundtrack to Don’t Look Down (by Michael, Rye Randa and Jeff Foxworth) has been released, so if you didn’t get a chance to get it previously, you can buy it on iTunes or Amazon now!
Michael, Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White and Blake Lewis were at the beach to film a commercial for AT&T, and Blake Lewis posted this TwitVid when they went out for some Asian food after.

Michael has recently (or not so recently) been photographed as part of the NOH8 Campaign.
On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.
The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8″ painted on one cheek in protest.
Nearly one year since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 2,000 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate. The campaign began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more.
