Well, it did take a bit of a while, but it seems that the common fans of Michael Jackson will finally get the chance to pay their own tributes to the late pop legend on the anniversary of his death. This is what Tom Lorenz, a Glendale Police Sergeant, said on the matter: “We understand that Forest Lawn is working with the Jackson family for some kind of commemoration. We will be working closely with Forest Lawn to ensure the safety of those who want to pay their respects to Michael Jackson while ensuring the safety of others who are coming to the cemetery to pay respects to their loved ones.” At long last all of the fans of Michael Jackson will get to do their share. The coming weeks might seem to be very favorable for the florists of the area.
This one would really help the late singer’s estate… it would probably even keep Joe Jackson quiet about the allowance for a bit. It seems that the person currently in possession of the syringe that ultimately lead to Michael Jackson’s death is planning to put it up for auction. This is what a source related on the matter: “The guy who has possession of the needle has been in meetings with his legal team, making sure it is legitimate and his to sell. The plan is to flog it for up to $5 million in a big Vegas casino but he’s been told he may have to sell it somewhere that doesn’t have ‘reciprocal legal agreements with the United States’, such as Brazil or even Libya.” All that money for a used syringe… one would think it is folly, but the man will probably sell it for even more if he finds the right market. And how many hospitals could be built with that money… what would’ve Michael Jackson wanted?
Michael’s Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe could not hold back the tears as she yesterday (Weds) visited the late star’s tomb.
The former nurse became emotional as she toured the Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, California, where Jacko was laid to rest in September.
Rowe, who gave birth to Prince and Paris Jackson, arrived at the cemetery with a male friend and bought a simple bouquet of flowers.
Rowe visited the cemetery and met a group of Jacko fans, who gather there on the third day of every month to remember the King of Pop.
It all became too much for Rowe who broke down crying and had to be consoled by some of the fans.
Rowe also visited the cemetery’s main church building where cards and flowers are left for Jackson.
After an hour at the cemetery Rowe and her friend left in a truck.
Even though the good doctor has pleaded not guilty to the charges of involuntary manslaughter brought to him, Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, insists that he’s guilty. This is what she said on the matter: “He’s lying. He’s guilty. Nobody was there but him. He’s just trying to save his own behind. He killed him. He wasn’t monitoring him.” Well, she can’t expect Michael Jackson’s doctor to just go down without a fight. W kind of a righteous man does Katherine Jackson think Conrad Murray is for him to just admit it… especially since he can probably afford a good lawyer.
Michael Jackson’s live-in doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, has refused to talk to the LAPD regarding the King of Pop’s death but that hasn’t stopped him from talking to the media. Apparently, he believes that he has become the scapegoat for the singer’s death and wants the public to know that he didn’t kill the music icon. Dr. Murray said “I did not give Michael anything that should have led to his death. I do not know anything more than anyone else about what killed Michael – but it wasn’t me.” So where did all the Propofol come from? And why hasn’t he talked to police again?
The late pop legend apparently named Diana Ross as the guardian of his children because she supposedly owed him a favor. In the book “Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness”, author John Randy Taraborelli said: “Perhaps Michael – by reminding her with his presence in her home of the important things in life – had inspired her as much as she had inspired him. If so, it is a favor that, 40 years later, his will – naming Diana as the woman he wanted to bring up his children in the event of his mother’s death – puts her in a position to repay.” Strange, in the olden days and in some strange human cultures taking care of children was a privilege and a joy… not a responsibility due to favors. Or is the fact that these are Michael Jackson’s children were talking about suddenly change everything.
Michael Jackson’s family has released a new statement saying they miss him ‘endlessly’.
The King Of Pop’s father Joseph Jackson, 79, asked fans to celebrate his son’s life and continue his legacy.
He said: “In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we find it hard to find the words appropriate to this sudden tragedy we all had to encounter.
“Our beloved son, brother and father of three children has gone so unexpectedly, in such a tragic way and much too soon.
“It leaves us, his family, speechless and devastated to a point, where communication with the outside world seems almost impossible at times.
We miss Michael endlessly, our pain cannot be described in words.”
The family thanked Jackson fans for their support and asked that the pop star’s life be celebrated.
“Michael would not want us to give up now. So we want to thank all of his faithful supporters and loyal fans worldwide, you – who Michael loved so much. “Please do not despair, because Michael will continue to live on in each and every one of you. Continue to spread his message, because that is what he would want you to do. Carry on, so his legacy will live forever.”
Joseph Jackson added that the King Of Pop’s children – Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, known as Prince Michael, 12, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7, known as Blanket – are aware of the worldwide attention their father’s death has received.
He said: “My grandchildren are deeply moved by all the love and support you have shown for them and their father, Michael Jackson.”
Michael Jackson’s mother will most likely take custody of his three children following his death, according to reports.
Michael recently passed away aged 50 in LA after reportedly suffering a heart attack.
It is claimed custody of the star’s three children – Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and six-year-old Prince Michael II – will be given to his elderly mother Katherine.
The Jackson family’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, said: “Probably Mrs Jackson will take care of them, she loves them dearly.”
He also confirmed that the children did not accompany their famous dad to the UCLA Medical Center and that they are in LA with a nanny.
