The media report that Dr Conrad Murray's defence team are considering calling Paris and Prince (two of the late Michael Jackson's children) to testify at Dr Murray's manslaughter trial.
The "game plan", according to the media, being that the defence will argue that Jackson was already an addict, and that the children will testify that they often saw their father "under the influence".
I am not quite sure how claiming that Jackson was already addicted helps Dr Murray.

Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?
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?

Death and Taxes
There are only two certainties in life, death and taxes.
Even the late Michael Jackson could not escape paying tax, as Showbiz Spy reports.
It seems that the Internal Revenue Service is planning a $100m raid on Jackson's estate.
This amount will will have to be paid before any money from Jackson's royalties are paid to his heirs.

Rowe Sues White
Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, has sued Rebecca White over reports claiming she was willing to give up parental rights to her children for money.
Ms Rowe has accused White of defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress in the legal action filed in Los Angeles.
The Jackson legacy will generate income for the legal profession for many years to come.

Deja Vu?
It seems that history is about to repeat itself, if reports are to be believed that Michael Jackson is to invite his son, Prince Michael I, to share the stage for his London O2 Arena performances.
Given the emotional and psychological damage that being in the spotlight has done to Jackson (he was put on stage by his father), is it wise that he subjects his son to the same?

Nona Loses Custody Battle
Nona Paris Lola Jackson has lost her custody battle for Michael Jackson's three children.
Judge Robert A. Schnider, in Los Angeles yesterday, denied Nona's request for custody.
Nona Paris Lola Jackson, based in London, had asked for joint physical custody of Prince Michael and Paris. She also claimed to be the mother of Prince Michael II.
Judge Schnider said:
"I feel her evidence fails to establish any genetic relationship between herself and the Jackson-Rowe children."
Schnider also denied Nona's request to nullify Jackson's marriages with his former wives Deborah Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley.
Nona Jackson claimed:
"Michael and I are a sexually active couple and have been this way from the beginning."
She also claimed to have written over 3,000 songs for him.
The woman's three previous attempts to interfere in the custody battle between Rowe and Jackson were rejected by Schnider last November, in February and in May on grounds that she had failed to notify Jackson and Rowe of the hearings.
It is unclear as to whether she will give up her claim.

Good Parent
Jamie Foster Brown, who publishes Sister 2 Sister magazine, travelled with Michael Jackson and Jackson's children to Japan last month.
Following on from the trip Foster Brown has stated that, even though the children were made to cover their faces in public, Jackson seems like a good father.
Quote:
"He just seemed to be a good parent.
More so than most of us!"
Foster Brown then spoke of Jackson's children; Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II:
"They were walking around me, and we were taking pictures without [their veils] they were very loose.
But when they did go outside, they put the scarves around the children's faces.
I just noticed also how nice the kids were. They're not privileged at all.
They have a lot of fun with [Michael].
They're intelligent, extremely well-spoken, and they like to play jokes."

Paternity Claim Rejected
Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider has rejected Nona Paris Lola Jackson's claim that, due to a rumored sexual relationship with Jackson, she should be named the legal mother of Michael Jackson's three children.
Nona Jackson has described herself as a "black Jew born in Britain". However, despite her claims, she presented no evidence that she had ever contacted Michael Jackson regarding her filing.
Nona Jackson claimed that she had indeed contacted Michael and ex-wife Debbie Rowe prior to the legal case. On this basis she claimed that she should be involved in the lives of Prince Michael Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael II.
Nona Jackson, who rather incongruously signed her own lawsuit "dudu", was given a second chance by Schnider after he ruled that she could file a similar suit as soon as she had appropriately served all interested parties.
Expect more on this in due course.

Jackson Booed Off Stage
As widely predicted, Michael Jackson's appearance at the World Music Awards in London last night was an embarrassing failure.
He started off badly by not greeting the fans, who had been expecting him to sing "Thriller".
Needless to say Jackson did not sing Thriller. Instead, in what clearly was a pr blunder of the highest magnitude, he was placed on stage with a choir of children.
I wonder what the pr people behind this stunt were thinking?
Jackson, having told the crowd how much he loved them (an overused showbusiness term lacking any sincerity whatsoever), then launched into a rendition of "We Are The World".
His voice then cracked four lines into the song.
At this stage the crowd began to boo, and started stamping their feet before Jackson left the stage.
One onlooker was quoted in a tabloid as saying:
"When he stopped singing no one could understand why. But when he started rambling a lot of people lost their patience.
That's when the booing started and got louder and louder until he left the stage."
Jackson claims that the story that he would perform "Thriller" was a "misunderstanding". That being the case, why did his pr machine not correct that misunderstanding before the event?
The auguries, warning that this event would be a flop were there for all to see.
Jackson had been making backstage demands totalling £250,000. Within these demands he included personal hair and make-up artists, a private jet and 20 first-class plane tickets for his entourage.
Not content with pissing off the awards organisers, he decided to also annoy the Hempel Hotel, in London's Bayswater area, where he was staying at £6,300 per night.
The hotel had to erect an 18ft wall on its first floor to provide more privacy for him and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris, and Prince Michael II.
Seemingly many other hotels had already turned down his request for accommodation.
It seems that he is now trying to live off past glories, the question is when will the money and patience of the fans run out?

Water Finds Its Own Level
It should come as no surprise to anyone that a person with as an "eccentric", for want of a better word, and public a lifestyle as Michael Jackson would attract a certain number of "oddballs".
Therefore the reports that a London woman has filed court papers in Los Angeles claiming that she is the mother of Michael Jackson's three children, are all par for the course.
Nona Paris Lola Jackson filed her papers last Friday, signing her name "dudu". The papers request that she be allowed to have a say in the child custody settlement that has been reached between Jackson and his ex-wife Debbie Rowe.
Nona Paris Lola Jackson claims to be a "black Jew born in Britain", and claims that both Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson's other ex, never had sex with him.
Nona claims that she is the mother of Prince, Paris and Blanket.
The court papers quote her as saying:
"Michael and I are a sexually active couple and have been this way from the beginning."
She goes on to claim that she has written more than 3,000 songs for Jackson.
The hearing is scheduled for 29th November. That will be interesting!

The Price of Motherhood
Debbie Row, Michael Jackson's ex wife, has given up all visitation rights to their two children.
Rowe had originally filed for visitation rights and custody of Prince Michael and Paris. However, in exchange for an annual payment of £395K, she has relinquished her parental rights.
Can Jackson afford that?
Evidently Rowe cannot be feeling that maternal towards her children.

Jackson Crossdresses Again
Evidently Michael Jackson has developed a liking for wearing women's clothes. A few months ago he was spotted in a Bahrain shopping centre, dressed as a woman. Now he has been spotted again, this time in St Tropez, dressed as a woman.
Jackson was wearing a large floppy sunhat, three inch pointed heels, skinny fit women's jeans and a fluorescent orange handbag.
Jackson is on holiday on the French Riviera, with his three children.
He is the guest of Prince Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, on his private yacht Kingdom 5KR.
Jackson wandered around in this outfit, with his daughter Paris, through the backstreets then stopped off roadside for a rest. Paris was dressed in a similar fashion, but then again she is a girl.
As the old British saying goes:
"Now't so queer as folk".

Jackson's Tapes Held
It seems that Michael Jackson's decision to split away from Bahrain's Two Seas Records, which he confounded, has not gone down very well with his ex founding partner Prince Abdullah of Bahrain.
Prince Abdullah has blocked the release of Jackson's much vaunted charity single, and is refusing to hand over the master tapes.
Seemingly the Prince has bankrolled Jackson to the tune of $3M, and is pissed off that Jackson has walked away (apparently due to the Prince's desire for more female voices on the record).
The question is, who will bankroll Jackson now?

Jackson Ordered to Pay Ex Wife $60K
Michael Jackson's financial woes just keep getting worse. He has now been ordered to pay his ex-wife Debbie Rowe $60K in legal fees.
Jackson has until September 28 to pay the costs to Rowe, who is fighting for custody of their two children, Prince Michael and Paris.
Los Angeles Superior Judge Robert Schnider rejected Rowe's original request for $195K, on the grounds that she had been granted an $8M divorce settlement.
In 2001 Rowe waived all access rights to Prince Michael, and Paris. However, in 2004, she changed her mind and began fighting for visitation and custody rights.
Lawyers for Jackson and Rowe will meet this week to settle the case.
It's not all bad for Jackson; after all, if he were Paul McCartney he would now be facing a claim of over £100M.

Custody Battle Continues
In his ongoing battle with Debbie Rowe over custody of his children, Michael Jackson has filed a Petition for Review with the California State Supreme Court.
Jackson requested that the State Court review an earlier decision that helps clear the way for Rowe to argue for custody rights to Prince Michael and Paris.

New Deal?
It is reported that Michael Jackson is signing a new record deal with the Prince of Bahrain.
Jackson has agreed a deal with 2 Seas, the label of Prince Abdulla Hamad Alkhalifa.
Allegedly Jackson has written one new song, 'I Have This Dream', which will be released as a single on the label.
50 Cent is also about to record a song with Jackson.
50 Cent's bandmate, DJ Whoo Kid, met with Jackson during a recent trip to Bahrain. DJ Whoo Kid gave Jackson a tape with the proposed track, so that he could listen to it before making a decision.
Where is the hurricane Katrina single then?

Jackson Breaks With Bahrain
Michael Jackson has left Bahrain, amid reports that he has fallen out with Prince Abdullah of Bahrain, and returned to stay with his family in Encino California.
He would have doubtedly gone back to Neverland; however, because of unpaid wages and insurance, Neverland has been closed by order of the state of California.
In one small bright piece of news for Jackson, it is reported that his sister Janet has brought Michael's $2.2M mortgage on the family's Encino home.
Had she not done that, it is likely that he would have had nowhere to stay.

Who's The Daddy?
It seems that the lineage of Michael Jackson's second son, Prince Michael II (or Blanket as he sometimes calls him), is being called into question by the media.
Reports state that Jackson chose an attractive woman, who resembled Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek, from a book of egg donors.
Jackson then allegedly found a sperm donor to fertilise her egg.
Seemingly, if the reports are to be believed, Jackson was playing God and trying his hand at creationism.

Katrina Album May Be out...Soon
Six months after hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Michael Jackson's much vaunted single allegedly designed to help the victims may actually be released; soon.
In a telephone interview from Dubai last week, Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain's king, is quoted as saying:
"The record is coming along great. We've been taking our time to perfect it and mix it."
The working title for the single is now "I Have This Dream". Guest artists, according to the Prince, include; Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Rev. Shirley Caesar and the O'Jays.
The Prince said that the release has been delayed because additional artists wanted to contribute.
He won't say who though:
"I'd like to keep that as a surprise."
