The tributes to Michael Jackson will surely keep coming, but we're betting none will top the Iowa State Fair's homage to the King of Pop for surreality. Now, it's not traditional State Fair, um, fare like fried Twinkees or Snickers in deep batter, but it's not far off.

The Des Moines Register reports that the fair is planning to honor Jackson with a butter statue. That's right, a likeness of the King of Pop made of dairy. The statue, which will reportedly sit in a cooler chilled to 40 degrees, will serve a two-fold purpose, and no, it's not for giant french toast. In addition to being a memorial of sorts, the moonwalking Jackson will also pay homage to the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.

Fayette Pinkney, a soul singer best known as a member of the Three Degrees, died Saturday, June 27th, from acute respiratory failure. She was 61.

Pinkney (pictured on the far, bottom left) joined Shirley Porter and Linda Turner in the Three Degrees in the early '60s, when she was still in high school in Philadelphia. Managed by Richard Barrett, who produced the Chantels and Little Anthony and the Imperials, the group underwent a series of lineup changes with Pinkney remaining the only consistent member. The trio released several singles, including 'Gee Baby (I'm Sorry)' and 'Maybe,' which found success on the Billboard R&B charts before signing with Philadelphia International Records in 1973.

Under label owners Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the Three Degrees provided the vocals for MFSB's 'T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia),' the theme song for the popular television show 'Soul Train,' which reached number one on Billboard's Hot 100 charts. Their 1974 self-titled album would be their biggest seller, featuring the hit 'When Will I See You Again,' which peaked at No. 2.

The worst of the shock may have faded, but several acts at Glastonbury made sure Michael Jackson's sudden passing was not forgotten on Saturday.

Badly Drawn Boy -- a man usually recognised more for his love for Bruce Springsteen than Michael Jackson -- played ''I Want You Back' in honour, while Dizzee Rascal, appearing on the Pyramid Stage, led the crowd through a rendition of 'Thriller,' a loose-limbed singalong salute to one of his musical idols.

"We lost a legend this week," Dizzee told the crowd. "So I think we should do a little something to remember all the great music he brought us."

Franz Ferdinand -- crossing swords with Springsteen as Other Stage headliners -- gave the King of Pop a rather saltier tribute, proper cuss words and all, as they brought their set to a chaotic close.

And Jamie Cullum, fresh from guesting with Spinal Tap, also took time to mine Jackson's work, airing 'Thriller' at the festival.

Jackson may be gone, but he is certainly not forgotten.

They may have been in a field somewhere in deepest rural Somerset, but the Glastonbury set were still able to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, who passed away suddenly on Thursday.

Savvy stallholders had Michael Jackson tribute t-shirts on sale by Friday, while fans created messages to the late King of Pop on flags, banners and anything else they could scrawl a message onto.

Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. paid tribute, telling the BBC's 6 Music: "The music was so incredible and what he and Quincy Jones did was change music and the way people looked at music."

Renowned photographer Henry Diltz, whose work has appeared in Life, Rolling Stone and the New York Times, captured the Jackson 5 multiple times in the 1970s. He reconnected with their lead singer Michael Jackson, who had since become the biggest pop star on the planet, in 1985 to document the famed 'We Are the World' charity single recording sessions. He witnessed Michael the boy, the man, the transcendent genius and the troubled superstar, from two feet away.

Michael was always very quiet. His older brothers were a lot more loose and outgoing, always joking and laughing. But Michael came alive onstage -- almost like he lived for those moments.

In the early '70s, I went to a small concert at a school for blind children in L.A. I was sitting cross-legged two feet away from Michael with all these kids in the front row. His voice had such a pure quality to it that it just released something in you. I could see all the kids listening and moving, so enthralled by the music. He just sang so amazingly beautiful. It was so joyful and such an outpouring of angelic sound that it released something in me, and tears started rolling down my face.

It wasn't just you and your friends who spent the last 24 hours tweeting your thoughts and feelings about the sad, surprising death of Michael Jackson. His fellow musicians have been just as distraught so we've gathered a collection of artist tweets about the late, great King of Pop.

As one of the few current musical superstars to travel in the same sales stratosphere as Michael Jackson, Celine Dion tells Spinner she has been truly taken aback by the sudden death of her "idol."

"I am so devastated by this terrible news," Dion tells Spinner. "From the beginning of my career, he was my idol in show business. He was a genius and an incredible artist. I remember when I was growing up and watching him on TV, and all his videos ... I had his poster on my wall ... he was so amazing ... his singing, his writing, his dancing.

"We had the same record company, and they knew I was a huge fan, so when things started to happen for me, they arranged for us to meet. I was so nervous, and so excited at the same time, and Michael was so nice. He autographed one of his hats for me. I was so thrilled. Years later, he came to see my Las Vegas show and we spent some time together ... and we were really looking forward to seeing his show in London.
