http://www.thefablife.com...ecret-son/ 
While this rumor is apparently somewhat old, it was the first we’ve ever heard of Michael Jackson having a secret biological son. The kid in question is Omer Bhatti, who’s in his early twenties and hails from Norway. Omer has been close with the pop star since the mid-90s, when he began touring with the singer and living on and off at Neverland Ranch. While Jackson supposedly told people that Bhatti is his son (the result of a one-night-stand with a Norwegian fan), others claim they met after he wowed M.J. with an on-point impression of the singer as a kid. “I’m not surprised Michael says he’s the father,” a source told Fox News in 2004. “It’s a fantasy. But these people did not exist in Michael’s life before 1996.” Omer is allegedly convinced that he is Jackson’s son and is desperate for a DNA test to prove it. He was spotted yesterday by photographers shopping for groceries before heading over to the Jackson family home, where Michael’s three kids currently reside. Going to visit his siblings, perhaps? Check out the pics above of Omer - taken yesterday- and Michael, from when he was around 20 years old (and - we think - before plastic surgery). Do you see a resemblance? [Edited 7/17/09 5:08am] Him!!! lol not Nmusak... i'm guessing- he like a play cousin- ya know those folk who are not family but closer to you than family- he's probably bringing much needed consolation to those kids since they grew up around him OMG.....Posting every white kid in America up to Michael's picture doesn't make it his! The Michael floons are disagreeing with everything negative about Michael. I see a lot of potential enablers such as yourselves, that have helped put Michael in the ground! It may not be true but It may not be a lie either. Remember Michael was so healthy he died. I am not sure what's wrong, but it's probably your fault! | |

Investigators Focus on Michael Jackson's Various Aliases July 17, 2009 For those who live in the tabloid cross hairs, the fake name is essential. Privacy-seeking celebrities have standard pseudonyms for checking into hotels, booking spa appointments, reserving restaurant tables, advertising for help and setting up visits to the doctor's office. But when those attempts at anonymity make their way beyond the exam room door and onto a prescription pad, a Hollywood convenience becomes a crime. State and federal laws designed to curb prescription drug abuse make it illegal for doctors to prescribe drugs in the name of anyone but the intended user, and physicians found using pseudonyms have lost their medical licenses and faced criminal charges. The prohibition on fake names may become a key issue in the investigation into Michael Jackson's death. Sources close to the investigation told The Times that the performer had been prescribed drugs in the name "Omar Arnold" shortly before his death June 25. The probe has focused on Jackson's use of drugs, and investigators are looking closely at the conduct of at least five doctors who wrote prescriptions for him. Jackson had long used aliases in health matters, according to associates. One person who worked closely with Jackson in the 1980s and '90s said Jackson's physicians filed his medical records under pseudonyms, including Omar Arnold, Joseph Scruz and Bill Bray, and used those names to schedule appointments and order tests. Another longtime associate said Jackson's staff regularly picked up prescriptions for the performer under different names. Employing false names on prescription pads is a violation of federal Drug Enforcement Administration rules and of multiple state regulations, including the Business and Professions Code and the Health and Safety Code. Health and Safety Code Section 11173 states that "no person shall make a false statement in any prescription, order, report or record." Dr. H. Westley Clark, the director of the federal Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, said fake names flout mechanisms put in place by states and pharmacy chains to flag people potentially abusing drugs. "It makes it difficult to track behavior of patients who might be doctor-shopping or who may be receiving large doses of controlled substances that might cause some concern," said Clark, who is licensed as both a lawyer and doctor. Jackson's is hardly the first instance of a celebrity using false names to fill prescriptions. When actress Winona Ryder was arrested for shoplifting in 2001, investigators found a cache of painkillers in her purse and later determined that she had used six aliases in seeking 37 prescriptions from 20 doctors. A Brentwood cosmetic surgeon who prescribed her medication in the name of "Emily Thompson" was stripped of his medical license the following year. When movie producer Don Simpson died from an overdose of cocaine and prescription medication in his $18-million Bel-Air mansion in 1996, investigators found a closet full of pill bottles. Many were written to "Dan Wilson," a pseudonym. Los Angeles County prosecutors are seeking to convict two of Anna Nicole Smith's doctors and her boyfriend on conspiracy charges for illegally providing the model with excessive amounts of narcotics and other controlled substances. Among the evidence they have cited are prescriptions the doctors allegedly wrote for Smith in the names of her boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and at least three other people. All three defendants have pleaded not guilty. An attorney for her psychiatrist, Khristine Eroshevich, has defended her use of pseudonyms, saying the physician was simply trying to protect Smith's privacy from a media scrum that had surrounded her house and rifled through her trash. Doctors who work with celebrities say that requests to write pseudonymous prescriptions are not very common, but when they are made, privacy is normally the reason cited. "Sometimes some of the high-profile clients I have will ask about that," said Dr. Jason Giles, a specialist in addiction medication with a private practice in Malibu. Some of these rich and famous patients say they are worried that the details of their medical care will appear in the tabloids and hurt their reputations. "If you're on the Wheaties box, you can't be seen to be taking drugs," Giles said. In every case, he said, he refuses to use fake names. "There are no circumstances where it's appropriate." Dr. David Sack, whose Malibu rehab center, Promises, has treated many celebrities, said a referral to a discreet pharmacy should allay the concerns of high-profile clients. If it doesn't, he said, the request should be a red flag for substance abuse. "There's a progression in addiction. . . . As the dosage escalates, it reaches a point where no rational physician would prescribe the quantities they are taking, and that is when they start to come in using other false identities," he said. Dr. John F. Dombrowski, a board member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, said doctors can find themselves in too deep when their patients are rich, high-profile people who can "buy and sell and get what you want." They're "basically your slave with a DEA number. This is very dangerous," he said. http://www.latimes.com/ne...ory?page=2 | |

EmeraldSkies said: Countthedays said: ONGOING MICHAEL JACKSON COVERAGE
"Between ages 5 to 9" he may have been enjoyed by "pedophiles within the record industry as a means of advancing the careers of the Jackson 5." "One day Diana Ross found him dressed in her stiletto heels and red toreador pants." "He insisted servants address him as 'Miss Ross.' " Mae West told him: "Take two enemas a day" and "always deny rumors of homosexuality." After sending lavish gifts to Prince William, he received a royal kiss-off from the palace that said: "Please stop sending gifts. They aren't wanted. And please stop calling. Your calls will not be returned." It's icky things about what Poppa Joe might've done for showbiz and sticky things about what Michael might've done for sexuality. Out this month. Read it with rubber gloves. http://www.nypost.com/sev...179339.htm Just because you read it in a magazine Or see it on the TV screen Don't make it factual... It doesn't make it a total lie either...

Jacksons Headin' to Jamaica Mon!
Posted Jul 17th 2009 1:32PM by TMZ Staff It's only been 3 weeks since Michael died, but we've learned Marlon and Randy Jackson will be joining Tito on stage... performing Jackson 5 songs next week. The Jackson Brothers The company putting on Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica from July 19-25th tells us the three brothers and possibly Jackie will sing a mix of Jackson 5 songs and songs from their solo careers. We're told they'll be flown to Montego Bay, put up in a swanky hotel with all expenses covered. They'll also be paid -- we don't know how much but we're told it's a "large sum." The only catch: Mandatory meet and greets with fans. This year's event will be dedicated to MJ. | |

Michael's Studio Life And Set of Rules For Mick Jagger July 2009 Much has been said about late King of Pop Michael Jackson's life, and now his former sound engineer, Bruce Swedien, has decided to share his views on the 'Thriller' star. Swedien, who worked alongside Quincy Jones, has in his new anecdotal narrative "In the Studio With Michael Jackson" revealed about Jackson's time in the studio. "Michael never came late to the studio, if anything he was early," Fox News quoted Swedien as saying." And he never recorded with the lyrics, he would instead be up all night memorizing every line. He was just so polite and easy-to-please, something you don't see too often in this industry. "His motto was 'the quality goes in before the name goes on'. He lived by that," he said. Swedien also revealed that when it came to perfecting his work, Jacko would stop at nothing, and he even ordered Rolling Stones' lead vocalist Mick Jagger while they were recording "State of Shock" in 1984. "He had Mick doing scales for over an hour to warm-up before he would even start," Swedien added. Link [Edited 7/17/09 12:43pm] | |

Michael Jackson Makes History On Euro Charts
In a history-making week on Billboard's European Top 100 Albums, Michael Jackson holds down a spectacular eight of the top ten titles. Meanwhile, "When Love Takes Over" (Positiva/EMI) by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland starts a second week atop European Hot 100 Singles. Jackson's domination also represents a near-lockout of the pan-European top ten for Epic/Sony Music Entertainment, in which last year's "King of Pop" compilation again comes out on top. It leads the way in no fewer than eight markets, holding at No. 1 in Germany and Austria, moving 77-1 in the Belgian region of Flanders, 6-1 in neighboring Wallony, 13-1 in Poland, 3-1 in Holland and 2-1 in Switzerland and Spain. It's top five in five other territories. In the United Kingdom, it's "The Essential Michael Jackson" that rules, with 113,000 new sales last week from a running total in its four years on release of 483,000. That compilation holds at No. 2 Europe-wide, also moving 4-1 in Finland, 3-2 in Switzerland and entering and No. 3 in Norway and Portugal. Next up, at No. 3 overall, is the original edition of "Thriller," which leaps to the top in Italy (12-1) and Spain (3-1) and is in the top five in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. Its title track single also rises 4-2 in Italy. Jackson's "Number Ones" collection is up 6-4 on Top 100 Albums, sitting at No. 2 in both Ireland and Germany. "The Collection" is his only title in descent on the overall chart, down 3-6 despite holding at No. 1 in Denmark and racing 34-5 in Sweden and 19-9 in Germany. With the regular volume of "Thriller" at No. 3, the 25th anniversary deluxe reissue also fares well, climbing 14-7 on the composite chart. It's up 12-2 in Hungary, 7-5 in Finland, 41-6 in Spain and 18-9 in the United Kingdom, but falls from the top spot in Switzerland and Poland. "Off The Wall," the studio predecessor to "Thriller," is up 34-8 on Top 100 Albums, fuelled by a 10-3 climb in the United Kingdom on sales of 39,000. Remarkably, that's the album's highest-ever position on the U.K. chart, where it previously peaked at No. 5 in its fourth week on the survey in October 1979. The biggest leap of all Jackson's albums is taken by "HIStory - Past, Present & Future, Book 1," which zooms 92-9 after reappearing at No. 4 in Germany and 33-17 in the United Kingdom. Jackson also has two singles in the European top ten, holding at No. 7 with "Man In The Mirror" and dipping 9-10 with "Billie Jean." The only non-Jackson titles in the top ten of the pan-European album chart are Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)" (Interscope/Universal), which holds at No. 5, and labelmate Lady Gaga's "The Fame," down 8-10. by Paul Sexton, London http://www.billboard.com/...4587.story | |

Video liberated the imagination and turned our favorite artists into living beings. I was 12 when Thriller came out. Like so many of you, I too remember the first time seeing that video and how obsessed my sister and I became with it. We watched it EVERY SINGLE TIME it came on. From beginning to end. That video was just monumental. The vast majority of Gen Xers, male/female/straight/gay, fell into one of 3 camps. You became a freak for Michael Jackson, Prince or Madonna. I happened to follow Prince. I loved both Michael Jackson and Madonna during their prime but for some reason never connected with them the way I did Prince. But I understand the devotion that anyone feels for any of these 3 artists. Over the years, I lost contact with Michael Jackson. The last 15 years or so never brought me back to any point where I felt the need to indulge in his music. When I would hear the classics, I always listened but I never sought them out. Like so many are expressing, I didn't realize how much Michael Jackson meant to me until now. Of course I would have the general sympathies when someone dies but I honestly did not think I would take his passing this hard. Before all the scandal and wacko jacko antics, Michael Jackson had established firmly in the hearts minds and souls of people around this planet both legacy and legend. It is that legend that I remember growing up with. Is is that legend that I remember watching on the TV screen in absolute awe when he did the moonwalk. It is that legend that I remember my mother glowing over as I was discovering him as a young adult. It is that legend that has me realizing how much of an impact his music really had on my life. That legend brought me and my sister, who never got along otherwise, together to watch his magic. That legend brought my family together to watch the concert we were too poor to attend, but we watched it with laughter, dance and tears. That legend brought my cousin and friends together to jam out whenever his music would hit the airwaves. That legend has brought this world together in remembering so much magic, so much happiness and has unified people in pain. I have my own opinions of the life he lived and I believe at the heart of it that Michael Jackson wasn't an evil person but just one of many who couldn't escape his own pain. I will reflect on the life that he lived, pray for those who survive him and simply remember the time So yeah, I have moments where I don't think he was evil But the discussion of his life is more than just the slammin music he created. He was more in love with his drug habit than his own kids. He left them which is the pinnacle of his irresponsibility. I didn't come here to piss on the thread or to target his fans who live in denial. I came to state my opinions and my thoughts like everyone else.
so no, you called me out publicly and I will respond publicly. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

so no, you called me out publicly and I will respond publicly.  think what you will- your previous comments in thread 7 (I think) or this one were purely demeaning and unnecessary- so yes you were called out- and at the very least- you have ceased your scathing rhetoric so maybe there is hope-
as for the orgnote thing- do as you please I wanted to save you the embarrasment...:bringit: LOVE HARD. | |
