Rowe Denies Insemination Claims

There has been a further twist to the ongoing bizarre tales being spun about the goings in the life of Michael Jackson.

Debbie Rowe now denies that she spoke to any Irish newspaper about the story that Jackson was not the natural father of their children, Prince Michael and Paris.

It is alleged that Rowe claimed that the children were both conceived using anonymous semen bought from a sperm bank.

She allegedly told the Sunday World:

"Michael knows the truth - that he is not the natural father of Prince Michael Jr and Paris. He has to come clean.

I have no information whatsoever about the identity of the semen donor for either child as such (semen) was obtained anonymously from a semen bank under an agreement of confidentiality
."

Rowe denies the story, and says that she was in the US with a cold at the time of the interview.

Don't they have phones in the US?

Her lawyer, Iris Finsilver, has added that Rowe would never say anything to risk her visitation rights.

Fair comment, except that if it were proved that Jackson was not the father then presumably Rowe would get custody?

There is a game being played here, and the press and the public are the patsies.

Michael Jackson Investigated for Drug Trafficking

It has been reported that police are investigating allegations that Michael Jackson has been trafficking prescription drugs, and that during a police raid that they have found traces of cocaine on his clothes.

Police are investigating allegations that Jackson smuggled prescription drugs from America to Bahrain, in order to maintain a 40 pill a day habit.

Former aides are alleging that Jackson is addicted to painkillers and anti-depressants, seemingly the drugs of choice of those in showbusiness.

Papers released by Santa Maria court note that Jackson's former security guard, Chris Carter, has claimed that Jackson is addicted to Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug.

Apparently a haul of prescription drugs was seized during the raid on Neverland in 2003, additionally traces of cocaine were allegedly found on Jackson's trousers.

The probe into the drug allegations is being led by Santa Barbara's district attorney, Tom Sneddon.

I suspect that Tom Sneddon won't be happy until Jackson is behind bars.

Who's The Daddy?

Debbie Rowe, the mother of two of Michael Jackson's children, has claimed that they are not Jackson's. She alleges that she was inseminated with sperm from a sperm bank.

She is quoted as saying:

"Michael knows the truth that he is not the natural father of Prince Michael Jr. and Paris. He has to come clean."

This coincides with her current tribulations with Jackson, as she battles for access rights to the children. I would ask at this stage, if they are not his children, why did she hand them over to him?

All this is rather a contrast to her more than favourable testimony, on Jackson's behalf, at his recent trial.

Ever get the feeling that a few tales have been spun?

Jewish Lawyer To Defend Jackson

In response to potential legal action for alleged anti semitism, Michael Jackson's Jewish lawyer Brian Oxman has stated that he will defend him.

The case centres on remarks allegedly left by Jackson two years ago, on the voice mail of his former adviser Dieter Wiesner. The message says:

"They suck them like leeches. They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything, and end up penniless. It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."

Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said:

"Michael Jackson has an anti-Semitic streak and hasn't learned from his past mistakes. It seems every time he has a problem in his life, he blames it on Jews."

The League have demanded an apology from Jackson.

Oxman is quoted as saying:

"I have been with the Jackson family for 15 years, and I'm Jewish. I have never once seen anything anti-Semitic from him or from his family."

Defamation

The Anti-Defamation League has asked that Michael Jackson apologise for allegedly calling Jews "leeches" during a "private" telephone call, which was recorded two years ago.

The supposedly "private" call was aired on ABC's "Good Morning America", and is allegedly a voice message left by Jackson for his former adviser, Dieter Wiesner.

The message allegedly accused Jews of leaving performers penniless.

A transcript of the message reads:

"They suck them like leeches ... I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of it.

They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything and end up penniless. It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose
."

Abraham H. Foxman, the director of the Anti-Defamation League, said:

"Michael Jackson has an anti-Semitic streak, and hasn't learned from his past mistakes. It seems every time he has a problem in his life, he blames it on Jews."

Dieter Wiesner is suing Jackson for $64M.

Another Lawsuit

Dieter Wiesner, a former adviser to Michael Jackson, has filed a $64M action against Jackson for alleged breach of contract and fraud.

Wiesner claims that he paid Jackson millions of dollars for rights to merchandise his name and likeness, that were not Jackson's to sell.

Wiesner alleges that Jackson had sold the rights to another buyer prior to Wiesner, who then sued Wiesner.

That suit was settled, and Wiesner lent Jackson more money. The total alleged cost to Wiesner was $9M, to secure the rights and pay the settlement.

Having secured the rights, it seems that Wiesner made little money out of them; as, according to Weisner, Jackson refused to cooperate and interfered with merchandising efforts.

Wiesner then claims that Jackson fired several advisers and asked Wiesner to become his personal manager around 2002.

Wiesner alleges that he was then fired in 2003.

It is reported that Michael Jackson has paid $1.5M for a new mansion on his own private island.

The quarter-acre site is located on the Amwaj Islands, off the coast of Bahrain.

The island, which is part of three man-made islands built in the last five years, has; its own international airport, several top restaurants, a private hospital, golf courses, canals and an equestrian centre.

Jackson will move in to his new home in January 2006.

Jackson's Toilet Trouble

Following on from the earlier article on this site concerning Michael Jackson being spotted in a ladies toilet in Dubai, applying make up, it seems that he just misread the sign.

Raymone Bain, Jackson's spokeswoman, claims that Jackson made the mistake because he didn't recognise the Arabic sign on the door; he left as soon as he realised where he was.

One of the ladies in the rest room apparently took photos of Jackson doing his make up, on her mobile phone.

However, she was apparently forced by Jackson's minders to delete these images.

Elanor Cook Regrets

Elanor Cook, one of the jurors in Michael Jackson's molestation trial, appeared on TV on the "Big Idea" last night.

On the show she reiterated that she was forced to agree with her fellow jurors, and had to let Jackson go free.

Cook claims that she fought to convict Jackson on the lesser charges of kidnapping and conspiracy charges.

Quote:

"Every time I would try to explain, they all (fellow jurors) would shout me down, and finally the foreman (of the jury) said that the judge told him that if I couldn't change my mind, I would be kicked off.

I just shut down. I said, 'I didn't really care. I was 79 years old, I'd given six months of my life to this and I didn't need any more.' So I thought, 'Who cares? I'm not going to fight the world.
'"

Mistrial

Diane Dimond, former Court TV reporter on Michael Jackson's recent molestation trial, has just published a book "Be Careful Who You Love" in which she says that the trial should have been abandoned as a mistrial.

Dimond alleges that a juror, Elanor Cook, signed a book deal before the verdict had been decided. This is illegal under Californian law, until 90 days after the trial ends.

Dimond also alleges that Cook was close friends with a maid at Jackson's Neverland ranch, and gave her legal advice ahead of her prosecution testimony.

Jackson Causes Uproar In Ladies Toilets

It seems that the media in the United Arab Emirates have become somewhat excised over Michael Jackson's latest alleged faux pas.

The newspapers alleged that Michael Jackson was caught inside the ladies toilet in the Ibn Batuuta Mall shopping Mall, while doing his make up.

The ladies of the UAE, are apparently furious at this latest escapade; they want the "appropriate punishment" to be given to Jackson.

Mahasin Mansour, a Sudanese national working as a nurse in Dubai, is quoted as saying:

"I am surprised with Jackson's behaviour and I condemn it. He must go to the jail..not even to jail but to a place worse than that so that it would set an example.

He is infamous around the world for his indecent acts. This act was considered a great insult to us as we are Muslim women
".

If the story is true, then one has to ask what on earth was he thinking of? Especially as this was in a Muslim country.
