Where Was Quincy Jones?

For those of you wondering why Michael Jackson’s sonic architect, Quincy Jones (pictured, right), was not part of the Staples Center memorial service yesterday… Wonder no longer. Strangely enough, he was in Karlovy Vary, supporting Czech model Helena Houdova (center), and her Sunflower foundation. Jones received the Sunflower award for philanthropy at the event. The award, shaped like a door-handle, was created by the controversial Czech artist David Cerny (who became famous early this year for his Entropa art installation mocking EU countries).
