Rant

This blog was supposed to be for just rant purposes at first - so why not to return to origins?
I don't have too much to say, I just have several subjects on my mind.
Is it normal to keep people in hospital for so long after suicidal attempts? Does Paris really needs so much brainwashing, I mean therapy?.. What is Debbie Rowe's role in all this drama?
Just from my point of view Paris actually really needs just to grow very thick skin and a good portion of cynicism. Oh, and to have her caring relatives at a good distance. BTW what was wrong with allowing her to go to Marilyn Manson show? I guess the family could afford it and nothing would happen to Paris at the concert with a bunch of bodyguards. Besides just a couple of days before the suicidal attempt Prince attended a concert with his girlfriend. So?..
Meanwhile Prince gave a testimony at court. It's really interesting that he saw Randy Philips at the house talking to Conrad Murray.
Isn't it too much of coincidence that Wade Robson came out with his claims (what is his soft spot I wonder?..) and tabloids dug out a 20-year old story about a couple who worked at Neverland?..
So far Katherine Jackson vs. AEG trial cleared to me why MJ behaved oddly before his passing - most probably adverse effects of propofol in form of lack of normal sleep.
And that good looking doctor with unpronounceable last name implanted an anti-drug patch in Michael's abdomen - I think it was removed later, that's why Michael had a scar there.

Scott Thorson On Michael Jackson: True Or False?

What a story is unfolding before our eyes!..
HBO channel recently released a movie "Behind the Candelabra" about relationships between famous American pianist and showman Liberace and his much younger lover Scott Thorson with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. This movie was a real success, I managed to watch it and I liked it too - very funny and sincere story. The film is based on a book written in the end of 80-s by Scott Thorson himself. As readers of my blog probably know Thorson also claimed that he had a fling with Michael Jackson: http://acoupleofthoughs.blogspot.ru/2012/05/more-about-scott-thorson-and-michael.html, http://acoupleofthoughs.blogspot.ru/2012/05/fans-on-scott-thorson-and-myths-about.html
The real Scott Thorson has an interesting life - besides the fact that he was a boy-toy of the famous showman (and there is a possibility that not of only one famous showman), he was also a drug-addict, a witness in a murder case, he was shot 5 times, but survived, then he was in jail himself in 2008, released, diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012, then accused of using a credit card that didn't belong to him, then bailed out by a brothel owner after the HBO movie and due to be back in jail on 3-rd of July.
As someone wrote on IMDB - he is a guy to whom things happen. (Probably if my blog wasn't solely about Michael Jackson I would go into detail trying to find more information about Scott).
What does temporary free Scott Thorson is doing now?
He lives now at Bunny Ranch - it's a brothel, whose owner Dennis Hof bailed him out. I suspect that Hof just decided that it would be great promotion for his establishment - even I write about him now! LOL! Scott has a HUGE payday now and he is really busy giving tons of interviews left and right to any mass media that is willing to give him some time and space. Just several links to Scott's interviews below (I suspect it's very far from a full list though):

The View: http://watchabc.go.com/the-view/SH559080/VDKA0_5y12fwc6/the-view-614

Opie & Anthony Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbQxEf5n96M

Lamont and Tonelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QX8okAlnaY

The Artie Lange Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQNOFa5_efw&%20sns=tw

Howard Stern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1MlPbfH1CY

In every interview Thorson is talking about his relationship with Liberace and with Michael Jackson. Although he told us probably more than the world had to know (including what types of sex he had with both Lee and Michael and how penises of both looked like) there are still questions, because there are inconsistencies regarding his relationship with Michael, especially if we keep in mind Scott's 2004 interview to National Enquirer and 2002 interview to Larry King.
I have to say that all those interviewers in the above videos SUCK. They talk too much, they simply don't listen to the interviewee and at the same time they don't ask questions to make the picture clear and logical. (Well, maybe I'm too strict: they are not investigators or prosecutors after all, LOL!)
If I were in their shoes I would ask Scott the following things about Michael:

• Was Scott on drugs during their relationship? (Does he remember everything correctly?)
• What did he do for living at the time?
• What did Michael think about Scott's palimony suit against Liberace?
• Did Michael give him presents? (What were those presents?)
• Where did they have encounters? How often?
• Why did Scott tell National Enquirer in 2004 that they split because MJ had child porn (or did he really say that?) and why he tells a different story now?
• Was he Michael's "first"?
• Did he ever meet Michael after their split?
• Who was aware about their relationship?

Waiting  for the show to be continued... (With Scott as a male bunny in pink. He used to be blond after all!)

They say...

...daughter of Michael Jackson tried to commit suicide after leaving a twit with a verse from the Beatles song because she was not allowed to go to Marilyn Manson concert ?..

Paris, do you remember: you can't please everyone, but you can piss everyone?..

Sometimes life makes us live only from bitchiness.
But it'll pass too.

Errr... Wade Robson?..

Wade Robson, a choreographer (they say a famous one) and a guy, who was a witness in 2005 sexual molestation trial, filed a creditor claim against MJ's estate claiming that Michael molested him. (In 2005 Robson denied that he ever was molested). Read TMZ for the details.
Is it even possible to sue a dead person for sexual molestation in US?..
Very strange claims, especially taking into consideration that there is a trial now going on where Katherine Jackson is trying to get a huge sum of money from concert promoter AEG...

Dear Arnie, PLEASE Stop The Fuckery!

You're not the father of Prince Jackson and I'm frightened for your patients - they need a doctor with better sight (and memory).

UPDATE:

Oh REALLY?????
Why do I have problems believing the guy?..

The Jackson Family Wars. Part Multiple

Katherine Jackson is alive and finally home... But her grandchildren are on the warpath. These precocious kids are fighting with a weapon that their relatives have no idea how to handle - truth.
Prince Jackson went on Twitter to say:

I would first like to start off this tweet by thanking the fans that have always stood by me and my family, my dad really appreciated your support and I still treasure it to this day. As I am sure everyone is well aware of the events that have been going on. I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side. As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways. Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt. The following image is of a group chat I had started to several family members. This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn’t know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. “If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth”

-Michael Jackson Jr.
and to post the picture:

It was on 23 of July...

Prince, baby, where did you learn to be soo official?!. LOL!
On a serious note: WHY it was THAT important not to let Prince and Paris to talk to their grandmother? What they could tell each other that was so dangerous? In case she wasn't held against her will in that Arizona spa. Probably I'm not too bright but I don't get it.


Update. Someone deleted Prince's tweets!
I don't like it. At all.
This strange tweet appeared first, than Prince's tweets were deleted - this one including.

Update 1. Kids got up, tweets were restored, unknown hacker stays unknown yet.

Update 2. Very funny outcome of all the drama: http://rolandmartinreports.com/blog/2012/07/roland-s-martin-exclusive-janet-jackson-others-family-members-barred-from-moms-california-home/ Some of Katherine's children are not allowed to visit their mom at home. That's probably not bad for her own safety.

WHERE IS KATHERINE JACKSON?

It was weird yesterday, today it starts to look frightening.
The clan got divided: Marlon, Jackie and Tito (who decided to withdraw his signature from the letter to MJ's estate executors) have no idea what is going on with their mother, Randy claims that Katherine is with Rebbie and "relaxing". Also Randy told Al Sharpton that he and Janet Jackson went to the Calabasas mansion to let Paris and Prince know that they can visit with or talk to their grandma at any time. While TMZ issued video of that warm family meeting where someone looking like Janet Jackson is trying to take away something looking like a mobile phone from someone looking like Paris Jackson. There was also someone's bald head looking like Randy Jackson's bald head in the video. (TMZ even wrote that there was exchange of punches between Janet and Paris, but Paris denied it on twitter). Randy said that he and his siblings were denied access to the kids, here is the quote: When we got to the home, we were kind of denied access to our home by security and trench and that never happened.
Err... Really?..
I haven't heard yet from LaToya and Joseph Jackson. They rarely miss a chance to take part in family showdowns, so I'm extremely surprised!
So far the situation doesn't look good...
If we are still in our right mind and we don't consider Prince, Paris and Blanket as co-conspirators conspiring to drive all their relatives to early grave than I can't imagine why Katherine didn't dial Paris phone number and say "Hi". As the TMZ video shows at least Paris keeps her mobile phone. I believe Katherine must know her granddaughter's number. Why she doesn't call?.. Why Randy or Janet couldn't place a call to Rebbie several days ago to say: "Tell mom to call Paris and calm her down!" I can think of two possible reasons - and I don't like both. First reason: Katherine is physically unable to talk. Second reason: Katherine is hold hostage and she refuses to do what her kids try to make he to do. Though I can think of a third reason: Jermaine, Randy, Janet and Rebbie themselves have no idea where is their mother. Have you ever heard about those elderly people who leave their homes and get lost?..

Katherine Jackson Is Still Missing

The Jacksons are able to give headache even to me, a complete stranger.
I turned on my computer today only to find out that the family drama continues!
This what TMZ reports: http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/24/katherine-jackson-michael-jackson-family-lawyers-ambushed/
MJ's kids are still unable to talk to their grandmother, and Paris Jackson tweets this:

My congratulations go to her aunts and uncles: they receive first prise of the fools contest! They managed to alienate Michael's kids, Michael's fans and (I wouldn't be surprised) their own mom (I hope she is ok...), police is already involved! I think they need to make a couple of arrests or smth.
Paris, Prince and Blanket need to run away from their beloved family as soon and as fast as they can!

Katherine Jackson Is Missing

And the fuckery continues...
This was first: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/07/22/showbiz/michael-jackson-mom-missing-person/index.html
Now Paris Jackson confirms that something is going on with Katherine Jackson:

It must be late at night in California...

WTF is going on???
Update. ABC reported this: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/07/questions-raised-over-whereabouts-of-michael-jacksons-mother/
I'll quote the most interesting part:

Katherine Jackson’s attorney, Sandra Ribera, released a statement saying that Jackson left her home with plans of attending her sons’ concerts, but did not end up going to any of the performances.

“Prior to her departure, a doctor was brought to her home and represented that he had been sent from the office of her longtime physician.  Based on this representation, Mrs. Jackson agreed to meet with the doctor who subsequently ordered her to fly rather than drive to her sons’ concerts. Mrs. Jackson followed what she believed to be her doctor’s instructions,” the statement said. “Moreover, Katherine Jackson’s longtime physician recently confirmed that his office did not send a doctor to Mrs. Jackson’s home last weekend before she left on her trip. It has further been discovered that the doctor that Katherine Jackson last saw has been publicly reprimanded by the California Medical Board for fraudulent activities and has ties to Dr. Conrad Murray.”

I think Paris is talking about the same doctor in her tweet:

This doctor is probably Allan Metzger.

This looks like a real detective novel now...

Update 2. Yesterday Jermaine Jackson issued a statement regarding whereabouts of his mother Katherine through his twitter account:
Let me put to bed today's nonsense: as I made clear some days ago, Mother is safe and well in Arizona with her daughter and our sister, Rebbie, resting up on doctor's advice, so it is beyond me how she can be reported "missing"

This incredulous claim was made for reasons best known to the adult/s who filed it but it seems no accident that it comes after we, the sons and daughters, put in place care-taking for our own mother, taking her to Arizona in line with doctor's advice following a check-up.

Furthermore, it dismays me that such an alarmist "missing person" report has caused unnecessary anxiety among Michael's children who will understandably react to what they misunderstand, hear or are told.

No-one is being "blocked" from speaking with Mother. She is merely an
82-year-old woman following doctor's orders to rest-up and de-stress, away from
phones and computers. Everyone has been well aware of this within the family,
but I would like to reiterate my reassurance to the outside world that Mother is
fine. In the meantime, thank you for all your thoughts and concerns.
Well...
So, on 15 of July Katherine Jackson had intention to go to New Mexico to watch her sons perform. Prior to her departure a doctor visited her and instructed her not to drive, but to fly to the place of destination. This doctor (Allan Metzger) was not sent by Katherine's longtime physician - it turned out. Here we have a lot of questions: why did he visit Katherine? Who did really send him? What was his goal? Why it was important that Katherine fly rather then drive? Who was with Katherine when she left (besides Rebbie Jackson)?
On 18 of July Michael's siblings issued a letter towards John Branca and John McClain, executors of MJ's estate. It was mentioned in the letter that Katherine suffered a mini-stroke. It was not specified though when exactly Katherine had mini-stroke. Mini-stroke is still a stroke, it's a serious thing, and Katherine had to be hospitalised. But I don't remember reports about her being in hospital. Of course I don' follow every step of the Jacksons, also maybe they were able to conceal the fact from paparazzi...
When people started to ask Paris Jackson on twitter about her grandmother's health Paris asked her uncle Randy not to spread lies, though later she deleted her twit and wrote quite an ornate apology.
I wonder whether Paris contacted either Katherine directly or her aunt Rebbie to check her granny's health?
According to Sandra Ribera Paris and her siblings were unable to talk to Katherine for a week (it means starting from July 15). Were kids able to talk at least to their aunt Rebbie? Also Katherine didn't attend her sons' concert according to the same report.
Finally Katherine's assistant and nephew Trent Jackson filed the report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. Paris confirmed through twitter that her grandmother is missing. Before that, on 21 of July Jermaine tweeted that his mother is ok and resting in Arizona on the orders of a doctor. Yesterday he issued his twitter statement... Who is the doctor who ordered Katherine to rest in Arizona? Why did she have to go to Arizona? In case she went to Arizona to watch the show why it was necessary to contact this doctor and why she didn't watch the show? Why Katherine didn't contact her grandchildren (who she is supposed to take care about because she is their legal guardian) or at least her assistant? Why Trent Jackson and Sandra Ribera were concerned to the point they called police? Did Katherine talk on the phone to her grandchildren finally?

Update 3. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/07/katherine-jackson-not-missing-resting-in-arizona/

the missing person’s report was “created by the very person and persons we are trying to protect our mother from.”


It turned out Trent Jackson and Sandra Ribera are villainous conspirators!..

Um, I hope Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson are not in the list of conspirators though!

Update 4.

And The Fuckery Begins!

Michael's siblings (namely Janet, Rebbie, Tito, Randy and Jermaine) wrote a letter to executors of MJ's will John Branca and John McClain! Please read it yourself: http://www.celebuzz.com/photos/jackson-family-letter-calling-for-executors-of-michael-jacksons-estate-to-resign-immediately/
So, what would be next?.. Litigations?
The saddest thing is that I'm not sure that anyone involved really has Michael's kids best interest in their heart.

Update: Oh my, Paris got involved in family showdowns!..

Too many relatives - too many problems...
I admire Paris - she doesn't hesitate to tell people where to go, I was softer at 14 (errr... maybe. I don't remember. LOL!)

Arnold Klein - A Friend of Michael Jackson?

This blog is certainly not about Arnie Klein, but since he produces soo much mess around Michael Jackson's name on his FB page I'm going to write another blogpost mentioning him.
What really amazes me is that there are some people who seem to really believe Arnie's ramblings - at least judging by comments to his FB posts. He's got fans!
As you may know about a year ago Arnie started to accuse his former employees Muhammad Khilji (I'm really sorry if I make mistakes in his name) and Jason Pfeiffer of embezzling Klein's money. The sum keeps increasing: in the beginning it was 10 million dollars, the last time I checked it was 22 millions.
His next move was to sue both Khilji and Pfeiffer - they answered with counter-suits. Counter-suit of Jason Pfeiffer contained plenty of impressive details about his former boss. (Don't forget to click the links!)
I'm really unable to recall all the people Arnold Klein accused already (former employees, lawyers, etc.) and all the accusations - they appear regularly and keep becoming more and more ridiculous. (Arnie has plenty of enemies - he makes them way too easy). One of his favourite... um... villains is certainly Jason Pfeiffer. First he was just a liar and a fraud, recently he became a killer (in Klein's sick imagination of course).
In the end of 2009 it was reported that one of Klein's former employees was found dead in Los Angeles. Bruce Ayers died of acute alcohol intoxication according to his autopsy. There are some hot heads among fans of Michael Jackson who try to find some conspiracy everywhere, but upon reading the autopsy personally I didn't find anything strange in this death. Bruce Ayers wasn't found in the alley of Klein's office (Southern San Vincente Boulevard is far from the place where Klein's office situated at the time), he had an almost empty bottle of vodka with him and he was not a friend of MJ. Besides the guy was an obvious drug and alcohol abuser with fatty liver, atrophic/fibrotic pancreas and some other health problems.
Recently Arnie posted a photo of a CD autographed by Michael Jackson.

It reads: "To Bruce" - supposedly to Bruce Ayers.
"Jason gave these items to my house man Alex for massages after Bruce died. Did Bruce get help to OD" - Arnold Klein wrote as a comment to the photo.
Yeah, we have a real detective story here!
So, Klein hints that Jason Pfeiffer helped Ayers to OD. Criminal acts like this have to have a motive, don't they? Bruce Ayers died in December of 2009. He was fired in the beginning of 2009. Why would Jason Pfeiffer need his death?.. To take possession of his belongings?.. Like this CD? Um, I guess price of MJ's autographs rose after his death, but actually it's not something extremely rare, smth. to kill people for (at least for someone with millions stolen from Klein already! LOL!)
This CD reminded me of something familiar - there was an auction of Arnie's belongings in January; several CDs with autographs by MJ were auctioned: http://www.bonhams.com/usa/auction/20105/lot/1064/. Two CDs on the left look suspiciously similar to the one on the picture posted by Klein. It's difficult to me to make out what is written on those CDs, but it looks like there are different names on them - to Scott, to Jin (or Jim maybe) and "Love to Klein". I don't know what is written on the first one and I just wonder who are Scott and Jin?.. As well as why both CDs were in Klein's possession. I suspect that the situation was quite simple: once Michael Jackson signed several CDs for Arnold Klein and his entourage - including Bruce Ayers. Then Bruce Ayers was fired and left the CD in Klein's office - that's how the CD got in Arnie's possession. Though perhaps there was one more stage: the one who got the CD was Alex Rivera (he is a masseur) - just put in his pocket this property in abeyance and then returned it to Klein recently.

(I hope it was not Alex who helped Bruce Ayers to OD, I don't believe that anyone would want to help the poor guy to OD - I don't know and I can't imagine any reason for it). Who dragged Jason Pfeiffer into the story - Alex or Arnie?
Arnie Klein totally disgusts me by now.
This "friend" of MJ does almost everything that a normal friend shouldn't do: he inflates a ridiculous rumour that he might be a biological father of MJ's kids endowing the controversy around them, he speaks on TV about MJ's health (which is a breach of doctor's ethics), he does everything to harm a person who was MJ's boyfriend slandering him in every possible way and suing him... He even "outed" MJ - though it doesn't seem like Michael would be too happy about it.
The funniest - the most preposterous thing here is that some fans of Michael Jackson prefer to be on the side of Arnie Klein and to believe his lies. Arnie "admitted that he lied about relationship between MJ and Jason" - fans are eager to believe him now. It's unbearable when your world is collapsing, isn't it?..
Is Arnold Klein a friend or a foe of Michael Jackson?.. An enemy in disguise of a friend?
What this "friend" was doing to MJ throughout his life? Why was he giving MJ all those doses of Demerol during the last months of Michael's life? Why does he deny that he gave MJ Demerol on May of 2009 so furiously now? When did Michael's "relationship" with Demerol started and who helped it?
Why, why, why?..
Is it envy towards Michael's greatness, anger of a gravely ill person, pure craziness or maybe MJ stole a march on Klein? I'm afraid I'll never get an answer to this question.

One More Mystery of Michael Jackson

Friends of Paris - or more likely shrewd relatives of those friends - decided to make some bucks and want to sell a recording of videochat with Paris Jackson and those friends according to TMZ. Actually TMZ got extremely old news - Paris used to say that MJ posthumous album is fake (part fake) more than a year ago and even I was aware of it.
Are some songs fake or not?..
Big shrug.
I can tell who looks like who, but I don't have ear for music... Though when I heard one song from that album I thought (I didn't know it was supposed to be MJ) that someone is trying to sound like Michael Jackson too hard.
Big shrug once more time.

A Myth That Has To Be Put To Rest

There is one chapter in Michael Jackson saga that is surrounded by a lot of drama (and comedy - as it has to be in any good novel) - paternity of Michael's kids. MJ's kids turned out to be quite light-skinned and their hair is not too curly. Based on this fact plenty of people think that MJ just couldn't be their biological father... Despite the fact that MJ was not entirely black, but a mixture of black (unfortunately it is too hard to find relevant and precise information about his ancestry), American Indian, white and even chinese. He had his first two kids with a white woman (and not just a caucasian, but a pale-skinned, straight-haired blue-eyed natural blond) and who is the mother of his youngest son is a mystery (it could be a mystery to MJ himself, lol!)
Some people claim that the bio father of MJ's kids is Arnold W. Klein, his dermtologist (well, there are some other... um... "fathers" too...). Jason Pfeiffer, his former employee, shed light on Klein's "paternity".
Please follow this link: http://jasonpfeiffer.blogspot.com/2011/06/paternity.html#comments
I sincerely hope that at least some people will rub their eyes open and realise that none of MJ's three kids has anything in common with Arnold Klein...

Stacy Brown, a Weird Jackson Family Friend

A blogger named Muzikfactory2 made a blogpost where he (or she) posted a kind of an interview with Stacy Brown - an odd character from Michael Jackson saga.
Muzikfactory2 gives a little bit of background about who Stacy Brown is, but I will add several links to make things more understandable (and interesting).
Several years ago an article appeared in New York Post: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/item_Qi0oxpmkX056xSZbouwY8N
(Biggest lol at the episode with Tito's sons - the youngest of those "boys" was 16 already at the time).
After MJ's passing Roger Friedman (very interesting character himself - a journalist who writes a lot about Jacksons and seems to have inside sources of information, though some of his info was proven to be false) remembered about the embarrassing episode from Jermaine Jackson's biography: http://www.showbiz411.com/2009/08/12/20090812michael-jackson-brother-jermaine-shocking-2003-book-proposal
On the same day, 12 of August, 2009 this disclaimer article appeared: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/MichaelJackson/story?id=8314753&page=1
I do really want to know who is this "source close to the Jackson family" who contacted ABC. And who is another source who said that Stacy Brown "can't be trusted".
Also Stacy Brown is known as co-author of "The Man Behind The Mask". He wrote it together with former (and late) MJ's PR-man Bob Jones.
I didn't read it, but just judging by the abstracts from Amazon this book is something very far from positive towards Jones' former boss. Basically authors were accusing MJ of child molesting in this book, though perhaps it doesn't contain direct accusations ("I was assuming Michael was doing something criminal with these young boys. Even today, I have no concrete proof"), but a PR-man and a journalist have to know that playing with words allows to put different meanings to simplest words.
I love this quote from the article about Bob Jones' passing: "Mr. Jones was Jackson's spokesman at a time when the singer's behavior caused the public to view the pop star as a cultural oddity.
The eccentricities reported about Jackson were often the result of leaks that Jones orchestrated to make the singer seem more mysterious, Mr. Jones told the Irish Times in 2005. Initial reports about Jackson sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber and the importance of his pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, admittedly came from the publicist.
He named Jackson the "king of pop, rock and soul," but the singer changed it to "just the king of pop," Mr. Jones said in the Irish Times article."
King of pop, rock and soul... I sincerely hope that "Wacko Jacko" wasn't Mr. Jones' invention too. Just judging by Mr. Jones PR campaigns and disgraceful results of them he was not a good PR-man.
But I'm digressing from the real star of my blogpost - Stacy Brown.
It is interesting that Stacy Brown is quoted in this article.
"In writing the book, Mr. Jones showed loyalty to Jackson by leaving out "a treasure trove" of potentially shocking details, Brown said.
Mr. Jones' loyalty to Jackson also was on public display, Brown said, when the publicist testified at Jackson's 2005 trial on child-molestation charges. On the stand, Mr. Jones backed away from testimony that might have helped the prosecution. Jackson was acquitted of all charges.
"He saw Michael, and he felt sorry for him," Brown said. "He couldn't go through with telling the truth, telling all he knew."
Unfortunately I have no idea about where Valerie J. Nelson, "Los Angeles Times" journalist, took Stacy Brown quotes, so we have to keep in mind that there is a good chance that he never said or wrote anything like that, but after "The Man Behind The Mask" - does it really matter?.. As well as his phrase that:
"If they'd had a black majority jury, they would have convicted," said Stacy Brown. (...) 
"This is not to say that any other race tolerates that kind of behavior, but within the black community, it's not something that stardom could have swayed," said Brown, a media critic for the Scranton Times-Tribune and longtime Jackson family friend."
Did the guy want to say that blacks are smart and whites are stupid? Or did he want to say that black US community doesn't like Michael Jackson? In any case he implied that MJ was doing something inappropriate. "Even if he was not molesting them, he was doing things that were inappropriate," he told ABCNews.com. "There's a mind-set in the black community: Why are all these white boys always hanging around? Michael would have stood no chance with an African-American jury." Or did the guy even imply that blacks are not very smart and also they don't like white children?.. Lol.
Stacy Brown was called to take part in this interview (which took place in the beginning of 2005 trial) as a person who knows a lot of information about Michael Jackson and his relationships with different people. He was characterized as "Jackson family friend" as well.
After tormenting and squeezing Google I finally managed to find an article written by Stacy Brown himself which sheds some light on Who is Stacy Brown. He tells the story of his acquaintance with the Jacksons. So he just met them in a store, then he ran into Jermaine Jackson who recognized him and then Stacy Brown was invited to Havenhurst and to Neverland... Something tells me that a serious part of the story was omitted.
"Things were made all the more difficult in 2005 when the prosecution in Santa Maria subpoenaed me to testify against him. The day before my testimony, I saw Michael and his children and, in his own way, Michael tried to intimidate me.
I said, "Michael, I'm not trying to hurt you. I feel bad for you, but I didn't volunteer for this." He looked at me and offered me a Bible and a faint smile."

Offering a Bible is an act of intimidation?.. Stacy Brown was to turn into a monster from a horror movie after touching a Bible?.. Or did I miss something?..

I've found a different account of how MJ was "intimidating" Stacy Brown in his own words: "You know, there was one eerie moment. Michael -- after the -- after the meeting was over, Michael approached me. He said -- he asked me, was the Bible that he had in his hand -- did it belong to me? And you know, I was stunned. I said, No, you know, it's not mine. And it turned -- you know, I don’t know. He turned around, went back in for a moment and came back out."

Stacy Brown didn't touch the Bible and missed his chance to turn into a monster.

"During a break, I came in contact with Michael and his mother outside the men's room and Katherine walked up, looked at me and turned to my attorney, the late great Mel Sachs, and complimented the suit Mel was wearing. It was a subtle message, but I understood, that whole "Jackson family friend" thing was officially over."

I would be surprised if "whole Jackson family friend thing" wouldn't be over after "The Man Behind The Mask". (Though, was it really over?..).

So now this guy decided to say some things to the world through Muzikfactory2 blogpost.

"The only reason things got blown out of proportion was because Jermaine didn't think. He didn't use his head". - I can believe it, lol. Jermaine is definitely not someone who is known for using his head, at least the one which is on his shoulders. His ex-girlfriend Margaret Maldonado described him very well in her book written after escaping the Jacksons tight embrace. Of course ex-wives and ex-girlfriends can make things look a bit different from the what is called "reality", but this lady seems to be honest, things that she speaks about were corroborated by other sources, besides she is not known as a shady character seeking for attention or some extra money using Jacksons.

"Someone had duped our copy with another copy that contained fabrications and lies. They didn't want a positive book". - Wow!.. We have a real conspiracy here! I wonder who those unknown conspirators are and how they managed to "dupe" the book proposal?.. What it has to do with Jermaine not thinking with his head?.. At least he went to Larry King to say that the proposal was fake.

"I was on a program with Brian Oxman who was saying inaccurate and unfair things so I said to Brian during the broadcast: "What if I had tapes?" and the media ran with the idea that I had tapes. I did not have tapes of anything bad". - I managed to find this link. It is from a German site (and I don't know German), but it contains transcripts in English of that same program that Stacy Brown is talking about. I don't know how accurate it is, but if it is quite accurate, things that Stacy was saying on this program were a bit different from what he is claiming now. Diane Dimond, a well-known... um... specialist on Michael Jackson in the beginning of the program told the story of the proposal basically saying that the one with juicy details was real. Than Stacy Brown had his turn to say something to the world... Did he deny the proposal? No way! Vice versa:  "And, in fact, you will--you will see more than just it on paper in the coming days, you will hear it on tape in the coming days. So Jermaine should be very careful about what he says". (...) "BROWN: They are currently in the possession and being reviewed by Mel Sachs, who--who--he and I have talked and we will be launching a very aggressive slander suit against Jermaine Jackson.

DEUTSCH: Now, Stacy, are the things you have on tape, once again, tell me...

BROWN: They corroborate everything that Michelle Caruso has reported."

Is it: "What if I had tapes?"

Um... Perhaps my English is really not too good... Or the transcript is not correct enough...

But those are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS!!!

Once more time: "You know, Brian, you need to watch what you say, because again, this stuff that Jermaine said is on tape".

As far as I know those tapes never surfaced...

But let's return to Brown's newest revelations.

"I had also written books with Jermaine and Rebbie, which wasn't as flattering toward Joseph". - What books is he talking about? Did I miss something?

"I was reluctant to write Bob's book for him. However, Rebbie's husband urged me to write it because they weren't my words, they were Bob's. Rebbie did not want me to write it. My relationship with her was severed after the book. But, I looked up to Rebbie's husband and, in hindsight, shouldn't have listened to him. I did, so I take full responsibility". - This is interesting. Well, at least Rebbie was against it. So nice.

"The police had cornered a family member in Vegas and had threatened to subpoena that family member. That family member reached out to me and I reached out to Tom Sneddon and Detective Steve Robel. In the end, to help get that family member off the hook, I put myself on the line and offered up myself because it would have been really bad for the family member. Put it this way, he wouldn't be considered a family member anymore because a divorce would surely have resulted". - And now we have something really exciting here. From Stacy's hints I suspect that this "family member" has to be Nathaniel Brown, Rebbie Jackson's husband. What was he doing that police had cornered him? What did they want him to tell during testimony? Why Stacy Brown was able to get him off the hook? Why a divorce would surely have resulted? Because of the testimony?..

"In October of 2005, Michael and Tom Messereau went over the book in London and Michael later reached out to Bob and expressed that while he didn't like the book, he didn't think it was too big a deal and understood that Bob needed money". - Huh?.. Well, it was said something in Bible about forgiveness, but... Did MJ read the book?.. At least some abstracts?..

"He said that "Bob had to do what he had to do to pay his bills" so Michael understood very well why the book". - Michael, you have to be canonized!

"When two of those jurors contacted me after the trial to ask me to write a book, saying that they were forced to vote not guilty, I told them to get lost and that I wouldn't do it". - Stacy, you have to be canonized too.

"Also, I now realize that the "family" member who I covered the trial was the biggest manipulator and it was really that person's doing. That person always wanted to be able to say to the others "I told you Michael was no good!" That person pushed me to do the book, set up false stories in the press later, so that, that person could have something over that person's spouse and family and most of all over the Jacksons". - Nathaniel Brown?..

Stacy, tell us what false stories exactly you were pushed to set up?

"It all makes sense to me now while it may not to you. But, it's too complicated and "Lifetime Television movie-like" to explain". - Oh yes, dear Stacy, it doesn't make too much sense to us and it makes you look very weird.

Stacy Brown has a twitter account. He mentions Rebbie and her family a lot. What I really want to know is what relationship does he have now with the Jacksons and namely with Rebbie and her family. There are rumors among MJ's fans that they are on friendly terms or something like that, but fans are not trustworthy, they have very weird perception of the reality. Besides I really want to know what Jehovah witnesses sect has to do with all this fuckery. Rebbie and her hubby are reported to be devoted witnesses and Stacy Brown himself is a Jehovah witness too. I was always very suspicious about very religious people...

Dear Arnie, you were too talkative...

Harvey Levin and TMZ are at their post: Jason Pfeiffer stands by his story, Arnie Klein is raving, because his back bottom side of the body feels uncomfortable. Looks like my fairy tale will have continuation.

P.S. The most hilarious part are comments - as always. I don't know why human beings are called homo sapiens - nothing sapiens about them.

Hot Mess

I love this expression. I love how it sounds.
Almost everything concerning MJ's parents and siblings turns out to be a hot mess.
Last four news with Michael Jackson and Katherine Jackson tags from TMZ:
1. http://www.tmz.com/2011/04/12/katherine-jackson-michael-jackson-estate-executor-john-branca-mj-estate/
2. http://www.tmz.com/2011/04/12/michael-jackson-katherine-jacksno-pathetic-john-branca-howard-weitzman/

So, firstly Katherine Jackson calls John Branca - simply and frankly (btw this is the link) - a thief.
Then TMZ publishes indignation from Howard Weitzman, lawyer of the Estate and best friend (according to Dr. Klein at least) of Harvey Levin, TMZ founder.
Then Adam Streisand, Katherine's lawyer, claims (um, at least according to TMZ) that Katherine DID NOT sign this declaration, it is false. Wow!..
And now - fanfare! - Adam Streisand is fired!
Do I understand something you will ask me. NO!
(But it reminds me of something, something connected with my kindergarten years perhaps... Something like: I closed my eyes, so now no one can see me).
What's all the fuss was about, by the way?
Actually it spins around so called Heal The World Foundation.
In 1992 MJ founded a charitable organization called Heal The World Foundation. It functioned for some time, but in 2002 it stopped its work. All this is according to Wikipedia.
In 2008 a lady named Melissa Johnson founded her own Heal The World Foundation. But according to MJ's Estate this foundation has no connection to MJ... According to the above mentioned declaration (true or false - doesn't matter, because it is confirmed by the Heal The World Foundation Site) Katherine and Joe Jackson (and even Prince, Paris and Blanket) joined foundation's board (in the middle of 2010). Katherine and Joe want to do charity. But bad Branca and co. doesn't want to allow anyone who is not approved to use MJ's name. Do both parties claim that they have MJ's kids best interest in their hearts?.. Why do I feel uneasiness?.. Ah...
