quests, his avatar and a special video he created specifically
for CityVille players. We think this is a new form of
entertainment for people across the world that gives players an
opportunity to know Michael in a deeper way.”

variety of themed items including a Segway, turntable, sushi,
hockey stick and a tie after completing quests.
