FBI Delays Release of Documents Pertaining to Michael Jackson Extortion Plots

The FBI will not release documents about Michael Jackson relating to the molestation investigation as well as extortion attempts. The formerly classified documents, about 333 pages, were to be released today, but the near-blizzard conditions have delayed the release for at least one day.

According to TMZ sources state that the documents pertain to the 1993 Michael Jackson child molestation investigation and that the late Johnnie Cochran contacted the FBI, claiming the accuser's family was trying to extort money from Jackson with false allegations.

Jermaine Jackson's Ex-Wife, Alejandra Jackson, Says He's Not Taking Care of His Kids, Files Lawsuit for Back-Child Support Payments

Baby mama drama:  Alejandra Jackson, Jermaine Jackson's ex-wife claims the singer has left her so dirt poor  that she has been forced to accept supermarket gift cards from Jermaine's mother, Katherine Jackson, so she can feed the kids. As you know, Jermaine Jackson has been out giving media interviews, popping up on different shows and planning a concert overseas, which means he's making money. He's a dirtbag if he doesn't want to take care of his kids.

Alejandra Jackson filed legal documents in L.A. County Superior Court claiming Jermaine is a deadbeat dad who hasn't paid $35,550 in court-ordered child support payments for their two kids, Jermajesty and Jaffar.

In the docs Alejandra says Jermaine's own mother sees how bad the situation is and often bails her out with "gift cards to Ralphs in varying months so that I can pick up food for our children, usually between $300 and $400."

Alejandra also claims Jermaine was lying to the court when he claimed he only made $35k in 2008 -- pointing out that he lives in the same "estate home" in Calabasas, drives the same "luxury vehicles" and has the same "luxury lifestyle" he had before. Source: TMZ

Once a dirtbag, always a dirtbag. If these allegations are true, then Jermaine Jackson has been giving these so-called heartfelt interviews to make money at his dead brother's expense. Shameful.

Prince Michael Malahi Jet Jackson, 24, Claims to be Long Lost Love Child of the Late Michael Jackson

Brace yourselves. Another Michael Jackson love child has surfaced. Prince Michael Malahi Jet Jackson, 24, has come forward this week claiming to to be a long lost love child of Michael Jackson ahd his attorney, LaRue Grim claims he isn't motivated by money. You will recall there was a lot of news swirling around the paternity of Omer Bhatti recently.

"Malachi has been told his entire life that he is Michael Jackson's son. His primary goal is to have closure on whether or not Michael was his father, and he wants a DNA test to prove it. Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, who goes by Malachi, turns 25 in September, and is currently enrolled in "a special needs college at an undisclosed location."

Grim says Malachi's mother, Zerline Lavette Dixon, had trouble with drugs so Malachi's grandmother raised him. But, you know who his long-lost dad is. "Malachi looks exactly like Michael Jackson," Grim added. Really, which version of Michael Jackson does he resemble?

"I'm seeking a DNA test and I'm very concerned that it be reliable and that no one slips in DNA from a stranger. Malachi never met Michael ... from what I understand Michael Jackson was very private about his personal life." The attorney was asked about the alleged relationship
between Zerline and Michael, and the response was: "I don't know about that now. I'm gathering that information." According to Grim, back in the 1980s Zerline was a fashion designer and had a fashion line under the company name of Michael Jackson.

"Michael seemed to be a very smart businessman. I don't think he would have let anybody run a company with his name on it without his approval." Funny, isn't Michael Jackson the same person who, according to Mark Lester, asked him to donate sperm because of his own idiosyncrasies? This is nothing but hogwash.

LA Times: "Lethal Levels" of Anesthetic Propofol Killed Singer Michael Jackson

It is a sad commentary that Michael Jackson led such a tormented life. The fallout from his death continues. According to a search warrant obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the late singer had lethal levels of Propofol in his system when he died. The report states that Dr. Conrad Murray told cops he had been treating Jackson for six weeks for insomnia and giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV. He also told the cops that he feared Jackson was getting addicted so he reduced the dosage to 25 mg and reportedly mixed it with two other sedatives -- lorazepam and midazolam. On June 23, two days before Jackson's death, he reportedly administered those two medications and withheld the propofol.

On the morning Jackson died, Murray tried to induce sleep without using propofol, according to the affidavit. He said he gave Jackson valium at 1:30 a.m. When that didn't work, he said, he injected lorazepam intravenously at 2 a.m. At 3 a.m., when Jackson was still awake, Murray administered midazolam. Over the next few hours, Murray said he gave Jackson various drugs. Then at 10:40 a.m., Murray administered 25 milligrams of propofol after Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug, according to the court records.

Although Murray acknowledged to police that he administered propofol, authorities said they could find no evidence that he had purchased, ordered or obtained the medication under his medical license or Drug Enforcement Administration tracking number. However, police detectives saw about eight bottles of propofol in the house along with other vials and pills that had been prescribed to Jackson by Dr. Murray, Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger.

Other drugs that were confiscated in the search included valium, tamsulosin, lorazepam, temazepam, clonazepam, trazodone and tizanidine. They also found propofol in Murray’s medical bag. Murray told detectives that he was not the first doctor to administer the powerful anesthetic to Jackson.

Murray said he noticed injection marks on Jackson’s hands and feet. When he asked Jackson about them, the pop star told him he had been given a “cocktail” to help him. In addition to Murray, authorities subpoenaed medical records from Dr. Arnold Klein, Dr. Allan Metzger and Dr. David Adams, the affidavit states. They also asked for medical records from Dr. David Slavitt, who conducted the independent medical examination of Jackson for Anschuntz Entertainment Group, Dr. Randy Rosen and nurse practitioner Cherilyn Lee. They also subpoenaed records from Dr. Mark Tadrissi, who stored medical records with Adams.

Jackson’s doctor told authorities he left Jackson’s bedside for no more than two minutes before returning to find the pop star not breathing. Jackson reportedly fell asleep at 10:40 a.m. Source: LA Times

This is, indeed, a very sad end to a life that had an impact on so many people across this world. I don't want to blame his family for his downfall, but I have to wonder if they couldn't have done more to help Michael Jackson, rather than use him as their meal ticket. It is equally amazing that Dr. Arnold Klein said on the Larry King Show that he repeatedly told Michael Jackson that propofol was a dangerous drug, but it seems that there is some evidence that he clearly knew more than he professed.

City of Gary, Ind. Paid $5,000 in Airfare for Joe Jackson, Seven Others to Attend Tribute for the Late Michael Jackson

Gary, Indiana Mayor Rudy Clay presents Joe Jackson, with a plaque during a memorial service for Michael July 10, 2009.

Once again, Joe Jackson, the father of the late Michael Jackson, has shown that he has no class. Rudy Clay, the mayor of Gary, Indiana, said his cash-strapped city paid $5,000 to fly Joe Jackson and seven other people out from Los Angeles to attend a memorial for his son in July. It seems like Joe Jackson, Latoya Jackson and Jermaine Jackson just won't go away and grieve in private like the rest of the family.

While city money helped pay to fly Jackson, the musical group the Chi-Lites and security from Los Angeles to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Clay said donations already made or promised to the city will cover all of the memorial's expenses.

He said Gary is currently about $2,000 short of breaking even on the memorial's costs, though he could not provide the total cost for the tribute held at a minor league baseball park.

Clay said Joe Jackson never asked for help to pay for the trip to the city he moved his family away from in 1969 after the Jackson 5 recorded their first album.

Instead, Clay said he offered to pay airfare for Jackson as well as the Chi-Lites so that the group, whose lead singer Marshall Thompson is launching a new record label with Jackson, could accompany the Jackson family patriarch. Source: Breitbart

The last thing this city needed to spend its scarce resources on was a trip for Joe Jackson and his "posse" to visit Gary. I am appalled at the mayor for making such an offer, but not surprised that Joe Jackson, who shamelessly plugged a new record label on the red carpet at the BET Awards days after his son's death, would even accept such an offer. Sorry, but that $5,000 could have been used to service some of the needs of the city.

Debbie Rowe, Katherine Jackson Reach Settlement Agreement in Custody Case for the Two Children she had with Michael Jackson

Debbie Rowe has settled her custody issues over Michael Jackson's children and it doesn't involve a single penny, but it does call for a psychologist for her kids. According to TMZ, Rowe reached the agreement with Katherine Jackson and it is subject to approval by the judge.

Rowe will get visitation of the two children she had with Michael. She wants and will get a psychologist who will visit the children and help them adjust to her being in their lives on a meaningful basis.

Rowe will maintain her parental rights. The agreement says Rowe has no parental rights to Blanket, Jackson's youngest child.

DEA Agents, FBI and Law Enforcement Search Las Vegas Home of Dr. Conrad Murray, Personal Physician of Michael Jackson

URGENT:  DEA agents, FBI and police swarm down on the home of Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's personal physician. They are at the doctor's home as part of a manslaughter investigation into the singer's death.Murray was Michael Jackson's personal physician and was with Jackson when he died. 

Murray, who is based in Las Vegas and is licensed in California, Nevada and Texas, had his Houston office and a storage unit searched last week by DEA agents. Court records show the agents were seeking evidence of whether the doctor committed manslaughter.Police said Murray is cooperating and have not labeled him a suspect.

Well, I am sure that by now, he may have removed anything incriminating from his home, but his computers and laptops may tell a vastly different story. No matter how you look at this, he's in some serious trouble.

Still developing. More to come.

Louis Farrakhan Farrakhan Sees 'Conspiracy' in Michael Jackson's Death, Blames 'Zionist Leaders,' US Government & Media

What would the Michael Jackson saga be without Minister Louis Farrakhan giving his two cents? Addressing 2,000 followers at Mosque Maryam, the Nation of Islam headquarters on the South Side, Farrakhan described Jackson as a "messianic voice" and an "archangel of sound, song and dance," as he called Jackson a victim of "Zionist leaders," the U.S. government and the media. Of course, those comments sparked some outrage in the Jewish camp and rightly so. What do the Zionists have to do with Michael Jackson's demise? Dr. Conrad Murray, his personal physician is very much an African American and whose fault is it that Jackson chose to surround himself with hangers-on and yes-people, who didn't seem to have his best interests at heart?

I am pretty sure the US government didn't tell Mr. Jackson to take all those prescription drugs. If Louis Farrakhan continues to make comments like this, he will never gain mainstream acceptance. I must say, he has made some very valid arguments through the years, but those are rendered ineffective because of his continuous anti-Semitism. It is very disappointing that he continues to blame the Jews for just about everything that goes wrong in the African American community.

Citing it as part of a conspiracy to undermine Jackson, Farrakhan said the lawyer told him Jackson had agreed to do 10 concerts but had been booked for 50, and there was concern Jackson would get sued if he couldn't uphold the agreement. Farrakhan, 76, also cited the molestation accusation of which Jackson was acquitted as another example of efforts to undermine his success.

During the wide-ranging, 2½-hour speech, Farrakhan said he does not believe Jackson was killed intentionally. Instead, he believes Jackson's death was the result of a mistake by Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, who is a target of a manslaughter investigation.

In speaking of Jackson finding his roots in the black community, Farrakhan said President Obama did the same when he said police "acted stupidly" in arresting Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. Obama later said that he had used a poor choice of words. "His [Obama's] black started coming out," Farrakhan said. "He had to pull that fella back in. Underneath, it shows you all his brilliance, his magnificence ... he's one of the brothers." Source: Chicago Sun Times

Farrakhan, for what it's worth, has done a lot of good things in the black community, but he continues to draw sharp criticism for his relentless attack on the so-called "Zionists." We have to accept responsibility for our own actions and stop blaming others for our shortcomings. No-one forced Michael Jackson to turn to prescription drugs. He was led to that life because of an accident and it is obvious that he was never able to kick his addiction because of the choices he made, including to surround himself with leeches and rabid wolves, instead of people who really had his best interests at heart.

Dr. Conrad Murray Exhibits Strange Signs in the Death of Michael Jackson

The fallout in the death of Michael Jackson continues. According to TMZ, law enforcement has reportedly said one of the theories they're exploring in the King of Pop's death is that Dr. Conrad Murray administered Propofol to the singer and then left the room, eventually to return to a dead body.

Our sources say when paramedics arrived Michael Jackson was found with an IV in his arm, an IV stand nearby along with an empty IV bag and oxygen tank. We're told paramedics who arrived on scene say Dr. Murray's conduct was "strange" -- he was "hard to deal with" and was "getting in the way" of emergency responders.

As we already reported, paramedics wanted to pronounce Jackson dead at the house but Dr. Murray insisted they transport the singer to the hospital. We're told at the UCLA Medical Center -- after doctors gave up on resuscitation efforts because Jackson was clearly dead -- Dr. Murray continued CPR, which some of the UCLA docs found curious. Source: TMZ

All I can say is, enough already. If the cops have enough evidence of probable cause, they need to just arrest Dr. Murray. There are several bothersome actions on the doctor's part in this case. First, he was nowhere to be found after Jackson's body was taken to the hospital and he was pronounced dead. Second, he left his car at the residence, yet he claimed he did not know the address to call 911 earlier. Third, he lawyered up quickly. Fourth, he reportedly had some of his employees remove boxes from his storage facility in Houston and lastly, he has not spoken to the parents of Michael Jackson to explain the chain of events that occurred. Sorry, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well it is most certainly a duck.

Omer Bhatti, is he Michael Jackson's Eldest Child from a One-Night Stand? Blanket Bears a Striking Resemblance to Bhatti

Michael Jackson with Omer Bhatti

The soap opera in the death of Michael Jackson continues with the latest revelation that he may have a love child. Hah. Apparently, the talk now is that Jackson eldest child is 25 year-old Omar Bhatti, whose mother is Pia Bhatti. He sat in the front row with the Jackson family at the late singer's memorial service. Mr. Bhatti is reportedly seeking a DNA test to prove that he is really Jackson’s son. Jermaine Jackson Michael’s brother had announced that Omer Bhatti will be welcomed into the family if he could prove that he is the fourth child of Jackson.

Doesn't Blanket, Prince Michael II, 7, bear a striking resemblance to Omer?

A Fox News report in 2004 claimed Michael had been telling his friends he was the father, but they were unsure whether or not to believe him. Jackson was introduced to Omer in 1996 and he was reportedly highly impressed by the imitation dance move of then 12 year-old Omer. The following year Jackson invited the whole family at Neverland ranch to stay with him. Omer’s father Riz Bhatti worked as a chauffeur and Omer’s mother Pia Bhatti became the caretaker of Blanket.

Stay tuned. There will be more drama from this latest revelation.

The Jacksons May Reunite, in Negotiations with AEG Live to Perform at O2 Arena in London

Will the untimely passing of Michael Jackson resurrect the singing career of the Jackson brothers? Four Jackson brothers, members of the hit-making quintet led by Michael Jackson until his solo career skyrocketed, have been in negotiations with AEG Live about performing at the O2 Arena in London. They want to take over some of the dates the venue had earmarked for Michael Jackson's 50 comeback concerts, the Los Angeles Times has reported.

The quintet broke up in 1984. But there are outward signs that Michael's death has brought the brothers closer together and may result in the rebirth of the Jacksons on the stage. On Friday, promoters for Jamaica's star-studded music festival Reggae Sumfest announced that three members of the group -- Tito, Randy and Jackie Jackson -- had been confirmed as attendees at a concert next weekend. The announcement said that a fourth member, Marlon Jackson, "may also join." Jermaine Jackson will be in Austria that weekend at the 2009 Save the World Awards, where he will accept a posthumous humanitarian award for Michael.

As sad as this sounds, Michael Jackson will be worth more in death, literally and figuratively, than in life. I suspect his brothers will make more money now than they have ever made previously.

Katherine Jackson's Lawyers Filed Papers to Ask if She Can Object to Executors of Michael Jackson's Estate

Either Katherine Jackson, mother of the late King of Pop, is being manipulated or she just doesn't understand what's at stake. According to TMZ, attorneys Londell McMillan and Burt Levitch, who represent Mrs. Jackson personally, have filed legal papers on Friday asking a judge to rule if she can object to the appointment of the executors, John Branca and John McClain, named in Michael Jackson's will and still collect the money he left her. Huh? You will recall that her son left her 40% of his estate, so why start a fire where there's no need for one?

At issue is the "no contest" clause in the will, which means that anyone who files objections to the will automatically gets no money. McMillan and Levitch want to know if the "no contest" clause would apply if Katherine only objects to the executors Michael chose. I guess, since she's getting such a big chunk of his estate, that should be enough to keep her happy, so why the dust-up about the executors? This is a prime example of Mrs. Jackson not understanding the implications of mounting such a legal challenge. Stay tuned. There is more to come in this soap opera.

Janet Jackson to Seek Custody of Michael Jackson's Three Children, the Family Said to be Supportive

Janet Jackson wants to seek custody for the three children of her late brother Michael Jackson. According to Contactmusic.com, the singer had reportedly discussed his wishes for his kids -- Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, seven, known as 'Blanket' - in the event of his death and was even planning to draft a new will to amend custody details

A source said: "There was a lot of rifts in the family, but Janet was the one person he spoke to regularly and he made sure the children kept in touch with her too. "Ultimately, he wanted Janet to look after the children, with help from his mother Katherine, and was planning to draft a new will to reflect those wishes. He trusted Janet implicitly.

"When he had health concerns, he had a talk with Janet about how much she meant to him and the children, and how if anything happened to him, he wanted her to make sure the children would be loved and cared for in the same way he was raising them. She told him of course she would."

Michael's most recent will, written in 2002, named Katherine as the children's guardian but Janet - who accompanied the children to their family home to retrieve their belongings after the singer's death last month - has the support of her siblings in taking over as primary carer. Source: Contactmusic.com

Personally, I think Janet Jackson is the best person to get custody of the children. It is obvious, from the memorial service, that they have a close bond with her. Katherine Jackson, though her intentions are good, is elderly and it isn't fair for her to raise three small kids again. Besides, everyone in their right minds do not want Joe Jackson to get his hooks into those kids. That would be contrary to what Michael Jackson would have ever wanted. We all know what Latoya and Jermaine Jackson are all about and they do not deserve to get custody of these children.

On a lighter note, I guess Jermaine Dupri will have someone his own size to play with if Janet Jackson is successful in getting custody of the children.

Debbie Rowe Reportedly Gives Up Parental Rights for $4 Million

CNN is reporting that Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson, mother of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has reached a settlement for the children. We all knew Debbie Rowe was in it for the money. She has reportedly given up her parental rights again to Prince Michael I and Paris Michael Katherine, for $4 million. This woman cares more about money than her own children, if they are her biological children, that is.

Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson’s Dermatologist: "I Warned Him About Diprivan"

Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson's dermatologist, surfaced on "Larry King Live" last night and said that on occasion he gave the pop star the painkiller Demerol but warned him about using the powerful sedative Diprivan. He said that Demerol was among the strongest drug he prescribed Jackson and doesn’t know how he got Diprivan, usually administered by anesthesiologists in hospitals.

Investigators looking into the cause of Jackson’s June 25 death have zeroed in on drugs given to Jackson. Diprivan was allegedly found in Jackson’s home. Klein said “If you took all the pills I had given him in the last year at once, it wouldn’t do anything to you.” He said he discovered that Jackson was using Diprivan while on tour in Germany. Klein told Jackson the drug was dangerous: “I told him he was absolutely insane.”

Wait, I have to give my two cents. If Dr. Klein knew Jackson was taking Diprivan during a previous tour, why didn't he try to help him? He knew what could happen to the singer if he continued taking this dangerous drug. I am so irate about the enablers, hangers-on, drug pushers and trash that hung around Michael Jackson and watched him self-destruct. I hope Dr. Klein is investigated thoroughly. It's amazing that he didn't bother to share his concerns with the singer's family, but was only too happy to come on television to tell his "side" of the story.

Katherine Jackson Loses Temporary Control over Michael Jackson's Estate, Judge Rules Will Valid, Leaves John Branca, John McClain in Control

Pool Photographer/Getty Images

The keys to the estate of Michael Jackson has just been taken away from his mother, Katherine Jackson. Over her objections, a Probate Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff today ruled that Michael Jackson's 2002 will is indeed valid and that, per the late entertainer's wishes, attorney John Branca and veteran music executive John McClain are the executors of his estate. Ouch. Joe Jackson just came up empty, for all the obvious reasons.

Lawyers for Jackson's mother wanted Judge Mitchell Beckloff to delay the decision. One of her lawyers, John Schreiber, argued that "there is concern over handing over the keys to the kingdom so quickly." Her attorneys also suggested that because McClain suffers from a disability, he is unfit to make decisions on Michael's estate, which is estimated to be worth more than $500 million. But Beckloff wasn't having any of those shenanigans. He refused, telling Schreiber, "Someone needs to be at the helm of the ship."

Katherine Jackson had been appointed temporary executor last week, when the family still believed the star had died without a will. That didn't last long because Branca surfaced with a five-page document written several years ago, that established him and McClain as executors.

Court spokesman Alan Paranchini confirmed that another will, dated from 1997, was filed with the court, also listing Branca as executor. But Katherine Jackson's co-counsels, Londell McMillan and Burt Levitch, said they didn't expect the judge's ruling to be affected, because the 2002 document would trump any older document.

Beckloff said he believed Branca and McClain would act in the best interest of the estate and be best equipped to sort through various complicated legal and financial problems, ranging from lingering IOUs and lawsuits to the fate of Jackson's biggest asset, his 50 percent stake in the Beatles' song catalog. There is no reason why Joe Jackson should be able to get his hands on the estate of Michael Jackson in a roundabout way.

Drake & BET Apologize for 'Every Girl' Performance, No Apology from Lil Wayne Yet

You will recall the spectacle at the BET Awards show last weekend, when Drake and Lil Wayne's "Every Girl in the World" performance had thousands of people highly upset. Let me refresh your memory. Drake, who recently tore his ACL, performed his hit single "Best I Ever Had," while sitting on a stool on the stage. A few minutes later, Weezy, followed by a ridiculous entourage of little girls flooded the stage, later identified as Lil Wayne's daughter and her friends. The performance was not only an insult to girls and women everywhere, it was an insult to the legacy of Michael Jackson. The subject matter of the song was clearly inappropriate for junior high school girls to be on stage dancing, or whatever they called that.

With all the negative publicity the show received, BET recently released a statement:

"BET Networks deeply regrets the performance by Young Money at the BET AWARDS ’09 (featuring Lil Wayne, Drake, Gudda Gudda and Mack Maine)." "Elements of the performance were unplanned and should not have happened."

Drake felt compelled to tell his side of the story and released a statement below:

"That…was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes," he told Complex. "I don’t think it called for us to perform "Every Girl" and "Always Strapped," and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-n-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage — it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody."

Yes, Drake, you are absolutely right. The performance was horrible, but it's good to see him accepting responsibility for his actions. Let's see if Lil Wayne is decent enough to apologize.

Did Michael Jackson's Doctor Prescribe Medications to Janet Jackson Too?

Well, if this isn't a sad turn of events, then I don't know what else is. It wasn’t bad enough that MJ’s doctors have all come into question regarding his death and the fact that they enabled and facilitated the destruction of the world’s greatest entertainer, but now it's spreading to encompass other Jackson siblings, namely Janet Jackson. Seems like one of MJ's shyster doctors, Allen Metzger, was hitting Janet off with some illegal prescriptions too.

A doctor who has treated Michael Jackson, went on tour with Jackson and even videotaped Jackson's wedding to Debbie Rowe, was reprimanded by the Medical Board of California for writing fraudulent prescriptions for Michael's sister, Janet.

Dr. Allan Metzger received a public letter of reprimand from the Medical Board in September, 2000. The letter states, "You engaged in fraudulent medical practice based on prescriptions written for an international entertainer, using a false/fictitious name." Dr. Metzger told us the entertainer is Janet Jackson.

Dr. Metzger is a lupus specialist -- Michael Jackson reportedly had the disease. Dr. Metzger traveled with Jackson during the HIStory Tour in 1996.

Dr. Metzger told us in the late 90s, he wrote prescriptions for Janet Jackson using the name of her private chef, Ricardo Macchi. Dr. Metzger told us the prescriptions were for diuretics. He also wrote a prescription for a hepatitis B injection -- he says he wrote it because Janet was going on tour and wanted to guard against the disease. Again, the name on the prescription was Ricardo Macchi, even though it was for Janet. Source: TMZ

When this this mess end? This is a shame and these unscrupulous concierge doctors need to lose their license to practice medicine.

Peter King, NY Congressman on Michael Jackson: "He Was a Pedophile"

I am appalled at recent comments made by Congressman Pete King (R-NY), who, according to TMZ, said "we should be honoring the men and women of the Armed Forces -- and not a "pedophile" and "child molester" like Michael Jackson. Wait, am I missing something? Wasn't Michael Jackson acquitted of these charges? What a moron. He called Michael Jackson a "low-life" as well as a "pervert." He said that the media has disgraced itself in its coverage of Jackson. The media disgraced itself in the fact that it has been focusing mainly on the negative things about Michael Jackson and not the good that he has done. Funny, I don't recall Peter King complaining when the media had a field day when Anna Nicole Smith died. Didn't she have a questionable past as well?



King was reportedly standing in front of the American Legion in Wantagh, when he ripped into America's celebration of the life of Michael Jackson -- instead of the people who serve in the military. So, I am guessing that his constituents ought to remember his shameless and reprehensible dig against Jackson. I hope Rev. Al Sharpton hears about this, since he has been a tireless crusader for positive coverage for the late singer. I guess Peter King is oblivious to the literal implosion of his Republican Party and the hypocrisy that is being revealed as we speak.

Los Angeles County Dept. of Children and Family Services Launches Investigation into Welfare of Michael Jackson's Three Children

Just when you thought the fallout from the death of King of Pop Michael Jackson couldn't get any worse, it did. According to Access Hollywood, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is conducting an investigation into the welfare of his three children, due to the mystery surrounding his untimely death. The three children, Prince Michael I, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael II, were in the singer’s rented Holmby Hills mansion when he reportedly collapsed and later died. DCFS was alerted after Jackson’s live-in physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, gave Emergency Room personnel a list of medications his patient had been taking -- reportedly a “copious amount of drugs.”

After Jackson’s death, the children were taken to the Jackson family compound in Encino, Calif., where they are under the care of family matriarch, Katherine Jackson, and other family members. The drama continues and just who will end up with the kids is really unclear because a legal battle looms between Mrs. Jackson and gold-digger Debbie Rowe.

The investigation, which falls under a category known as Caretaker Absence or Incapacity, involves talking with the children about their life while Jackson was alive, including what, if any, exposure they had to drug use in the house by their father.

The investigators will also look into conditions at the Encino house, such as who would care for the children should Katherine not be available. The investigation is expected to take a month but could be extended, depending on the results of toxicology tests done as part of Michael Jackson’s autopsy. Those results are expected in approximately two weeks. Source: Access Hollywood

The drama will continue until the guardianship issue is settled and after the toxicology results have been released. I remember the media circus and family squabbles that followed Anna Nicole Smith's death. She did not have a quarter of the money and assets Michael Jackson had, but it was still a media circus. I pray that these three children will not be used as pawns in a squabble for access to the singers multi-million dollar estate. Money certainly brings out the worst in people.
