(Sorry..I don't know how to copy the whole story on here.)
TMZ has had two stories that included the beer logo "Blue Moon" on the Steven Slater saga. (Steven Slater...I see TS....and SEVEN...and LATER....but not sure what later has to do with the hoax <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> The first time I saw that I immediately thought of the newer pics of Michael Jackson with the Blue circle over his eye.
I wonder if they ran it a second time so that we pay attention to the Blue Moon?

Comments
what caught my attention was the statement:so maybe the expression all press is good press isn't so true after all.
That is interesting given that in the past MJ often leaked stories to the tabloids about himself and how some of them seem to have backfired on him.
I don't know why...the titles had me intrigued. I think there is definitely something in the titles and the stories.
That whole Steven Slater story is one big hoax, something is up with it. Today's article:
Steven Slater Gets Reality TV Show Offer
40 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
TMZ has learned JetBlue's most famous beverage slinger Steven Slater has a reality show offer on the table ... and the hook -- helping people quit their jobs.
According to well-placed industry sources ... Stone Entertainment -- a powerhouse in the reality TV world -- is going after Slater to host a show in which various disgruntled workers quit their jobs in extravagant ways.
But reality TV is a fickle thing ... if Slater's story turns out to be a big hoax -- which we're thinkin' is the case -- the offer could disappear as fast as it came.
Still, we're told Slater's lawyer has received the offer.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Notice the O2 MJ Fist Pose to the left of Steven Slater. It's the only hand on there like that. The rest have an open hand pose.
Yeah, you're right <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> But for me the right hand with white sleeve also looks like Michael's hand <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
The one with the red braclet? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
A blue moon can refer to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon of a calendar month. Most years have twelve full moons that occur approximately monthly. In addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains roughly eleven days more than the lunar year of 12 lunations. The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (7 times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon. Lunisolar calendars have rules on when to insert such an intercalary of embolismic ("leap") month, and what name it is given; e.g. in the Hebrew calendar the month Adar is duplicated. The term "blue moon" comes from folklore. Different traditions and conventions place the extra "blue" full moon at different times in the year.
* In calculating the dates for Lent and Easter, the Clergy identify the Lent Moon. It is thought that historically when the moon's timing was too early, they named an earlier moon as a "betrayer moon" (belewe moon), thus the Lent moon came at its expected time.
* Folklore gave each moon a name according to its time of year. A moon that came too early had no folk name, and was called a blue moon, retaining the correct seasonal timings for future moons.
* The Farmers' Almanac defined blue moon as an extra full moon that occurred in a season; one season was normally three full moons. If a season had four full moons, then the third full moon was named a blue moon.
* Recent popular usage defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a calendar month, stemming from an interpretation error made in 1946 that was discovered in 1999.] For example, December 31, 2009 was a blue moon according to this usage.
A "blue moon" is also used colloquially to mean "a rare event", reflected in the phrase "once in a blue moon
Blue moons between 2009 and 2016
The following blue moons occur between 2009 and 2016. These dates use UTC as the timezone; months vary with different timezones.
Seasonal
Using the Farmers' Almanac definition of blue moon (meaning the third full moon in a season of four full moons), blue moons occur
* November 21, 2010
* August 21, 2013
* May 21, 2016
Calendar
Note that, unlike the astronomical seasonal definition, these dates are dependent on the Gregorian calendar and time zones.
Two full moons in one month:
* 2009: December 2, December 31 (partial lunar eclipse visible in some parts of the world), only in time zones west of UTC+05.
* 2010: January 1 (partial lunar eclipse), January 30, only in time zones east of UTC+04:30.
* 2010: March 1, March 30, only in time zones east of UTC+07.
* 2012: August 2, August 31
* 2015: July 2, July 31
The next time New Year's Eve falls on a Blue Moon (as occurred on 2009 December 31) is after one Metonic cycle, in 2028. At that time there will be a total lunar eclipse.

A "Blue Moon" occurs when two full moons happen in one calendar month. Since the phase period of the moon is 29.5 days, you usually only have one full moon each month. But each month it's a little earlier than the previous month. About every 2.5 years, you get two full moons in the same calendar month, and the second one is called the "blue moon". There is no physical difference in appearance, the second full moon looks like a regular full moon: circular and white with gray patches.
According to folklorists, the term "Blue Moon" is at least 400 years old. The earliest known references to a blue moon were intended as examples of improbable events or something that could never happen. As time passed the expression evolved to mean something that rarely or never happened. Hence the expression "Once in a Blue Moon" which is still popular today.
In the pagan community, the origins of the meaning of a Blue Moon vary. And the legend or origin of these meanings cannot be substantiated. However, some believe the second full moon holds the knowledge of the Goddess and is therefore contains 3-fold the energy.
In other traditions the phases of the moon represent the transition of knowledge within the Goddess. The quarter moons representing the maiden Goddess, the New Moon the Mother Goddess, the Full Moon the Grand Mother Goddess and the Blue Moon the transition of the Grand Mother or Crone to Divine level of existence.
Another view is that the Blue Moon represents a time of heightened or clearer communication between our physical being and the Great Grand Mother Goddess or the Crone Goddess.
