Michael Jackson's Trials

Mask Sale

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:11:00 +0000

The media report that Eric Muhammad, a former bodyguard of Michael Jackson, has been trying to sell a surgical face mask once worn by Jackson for around $150K.

Why would anyone be so stupid as to pay $150K for this?

Cloning perhaps?

Recognition In Death

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:13:00 +0000

Michael Jackson has become the most honoured artist in history at the American Music Awards, by winning four posthumous prizes.

Much like other artists (eg Mozart and Van Gogh), talent only seems to be truly recognised and rewarded in death.

Fraud Accusations

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:44:00 +0000

Joseph Jackson, father of Michael, has made accusations of fraud against those administering his son's will.

Jackson's lawyer, Brian Oxman, filed documents on Monday claiming that Michael Jackson believed that John Branca and John McClain had defrauded him. He also accused both of conflicts of interest, and said that they should be removed from administering the will.

Howard Weitzman, a lawyer representing Branca and McClain, stated:

"These claims filed by Joe Jackson are so outrageous that they don't deserve any response."

Joseph Jackson was omitted from his son's will, all of Michael Jackson's assets went to his mother, his children and children's charities.

The Jackson Tweance

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:22:00 +0000

The Tweance, the Twitter seance (Halloween publicity stunt) carried out by "psychic" Jayne Wallace on behalf of a London fancy dress store, reported that Michael Jackson is "at peace".

Sad to say that there are some people in this world who will believe this guff!

The Dead Rich List

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:23:00 +0000

According to Forbes, Michael Jackson has made $90M since he died.

This now makes him the third richest dead celebrity in the world, after Yves Saint Laurent and Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Fat lot of good that will do him now!

"Holy" Relics

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:18:00 +0000

Someone has reportedly paid £1,140 at auction for a dozen strands of Michael Jackson's hair, which were singed when he filmed a Pepsi ad in Los Angeles 25 years ago.

Reports that the buyer intends to clone them are of course utter nonsense.

Rowe Sues White

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:01:00 +0000

Debbie Rowe is suing Rebecca White for comments made during a TV interview that Rowe (Michael Jackson's ex wife) was only interested in getting money from Jackson's family, and wasn't interested in gaining custody of her two children.

Rowe's defamation and invasion-of-privacy lawsuit seeks to recoup any money that White may have been paid for the interview, estimated by Rowe's attorneys at being $100K.

The attorneys also seek $100K for emotional distress, $45K for medical and attorney's fees and $245K in punitive damages.

A hearing on Rowe's petition is scheduled for November.

Autopsy Leaked

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:14:00 +0000

Unsurprisingly details of the late Michael Jackson's autopsy have been leaked to the media.

However, rather surprisingly, it seems that he was in reasonable health for a man of his age.

Reburial

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:06:00 +0000

Michael Jackson's corpse has suffered quite few indignities in the run up to his recent burial at Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Now it seems his brother, Jermaine, wants to subject it to yet another indignity by exhuming it and reburying it at Neverland.

Jermaine Jackson told German broadcaster ZDF he was "not very happy about his last resting place - I always felt he should be buried in Neverland".

As I have noted before, it would have been far better for the corpse to be cremated thus preventing others from exploiting it for their own ends.

Finally Buried

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:19:00 +0000

Jackson Finally To Be Buried

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:23:00 +0000

Michael Jackson will finally be buried today Forest Lawn Los Angeles, in a private service to be attended by only close family and friends.

Jackson's corpse will be interred in the cemetery's Great Mausoleum.

Homicide

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:53:00 +0000

Michael Jackson's death certificate has been changed to show his cause of death as being homicide.

The document has been changed to specify that his death was caused by "injection by another".

This increases the chances of a criminal prosecution being brought.

Conspiracy Nonsense II

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:51:00 +0000

As expected, the video footage of "Michael Jackson" emerging from a coroner's van was of course a hoax.

Sad to say there were quite a few gullible people who fell for it.

Conspiracy Nonsense

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:50:00 +0000

The conspiracy loons are currently having a field day at the moment, as a video on You Tube allegedly shows a figure coming out of a coroner's van which the conspiracy theorists claim is the late Michael Jackson.

Doubtless these people, even if confronted with Jackson's corpse, will deny unto their own graves that he has died.

Frightfest

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:47:00 +0000

John Landis, director of "An American Werewolf" in London and Michael Jackson's "Thriller", stated on BBC Breakfast this morning that there will be a surprise for Michael Jackson fans at this weekend's Frightfest.

Frightfest is the UK's premiere fantasy and horror film festival and has been running for 10 years. It is taking place this weekend (27th - 31st August) at London's Empire Cinema with five days of premieres, previews, personal appearances, signings and surprises.

Homicide

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:13:00 +0000

The media reports that coroner office documents state that "lethal levels" of Propofol were found in Michael Jackson's corpse.

The reports also state that the coroner has concluded Jackson's death was homicide (note this includes manslaughter).

Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, has denied any wrongdoing.

Burial Postponed Again

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:48:00 +0000

The burial of Michael Jackson's corpse has been postponed again, this time to 3 September.

A cremation some time ago would have been far more dignified.

Dr Conrad Murray To Be Charged

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:24:00 +0000

The Telegraph reports that Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks.

Seemingly investigators were keen to initially charge him with second degree murder, but didn't think that the jury would convict him on that.

Frozen

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:00:00 +0000

The late Michael Jackson's corpse remains above ground and unburied, as the family are fearful of grave robbers. Seemingly, if the media reports are accurate, the embalmed corpse has been frozen.

Would it not be more dignified for him to be cremated?

Money Rolls In

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:57:00 +0000

It seems that in death the late Michael Jackson is now finally making the kind of money that he and his hangers on dreamed of in the latter stages of his life.

The New York Times reports that:

"He has already earned $100 million through a film deal and various merchandising contracts, and the executors expect another $100 million to roll in by the end of the year."

Tribute Concerts Cancelled

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:45:00 +0000

The two Michael Jackson tribute concerts, planned to be staged on August 29 and 30 at the London O2 arena, have been cancelled.

Seemingly promoters were unable to finalise deals with potential performers.

Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:12:00 +0000

The media report that the once famous former child star, Mark Lester (now and osteopath), is claiming that he is the biological father of the late Michael Jackson's daughter Paris.

Lester, who once played Oliver Twist in "Oliver!", claims that he donated sperm for Jackson as a gift in 1996.

Lester claims that his own daughter, Harriet, looks similar to Paris.

Why does he need to use the media to stake a claim over paternity?

Custody Sorted

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:36:00 +0000

Katherine Jackson has been granted legal custody of Michael Jackson's children.

She contends that Jackson did not die of natural causes.

Autopsy Results Delayed

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:19:00 +0000

The BBC reports that the release of Michael Jackson's autopsy results have been delayed until next week.

Meanwhile The Telegraph reports that up to 20 doctors may face criminal charges, as a result of investigations into Jackson's death. Seemingly a massive trade in fraudulent prescriptions has been uncovered.

Hardly surprising, given the self indulgent nature of Hollywood

I wonder where all those celebs are going to get their fixes from now, if their compliant doctors are sent to jail?

Diamonds

noreply@blogger.com (Ken) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:17:00 +0000

According to the Guardian there are plans to convert the charred remains of the late Michael Jackson's hair (allegedly salvaged from the Pepsi commercial where it caught fire) into diamonds.

Much like certain religions that use fingernails etc from "saints", it appears that there are those who are keen to use whatever they can from Jackson in order to make money from the foolish and gullible.

Quite how stupid some people are never ceases to amaze me.
