He looked tired and pissed off LOL. I do still find the J5 part interesting though. Just to see him with his brothers that last time is quite touching.

Anyone know if Mike actually planned to tour "invincible"? I heared he was, but not America (again LOL), which got Sony USA pissed off and was one of the reasons why they foolishly cancelled all promotional singles post "YRMW". Anyone?

thesexofit said:

There was a hint he would tour. Then again, he told Cory Rooney that he DIDN'T wanna tour ever again and this was after Invincible was released. He told him he'll release more albums but he didn't wanna tour anymore.

Timmy84 said:

I know I liked him when nobody else did it's really odd

babybugz said:

Yeah, then again, that's cool because if you're interested, nothing anyone says can stop you from being interested.

Timmy84 said:

That's true . i'm glad I enjoyed him when he was alive instead of jumping on board when he died lol

trueiopian said:

i never said mj was naive, did i? i said dr. murray was negligent in his duties to his patient.

you see murray as being little more than a drug pusher. we arrest drug dealers everyday, don't we? if it was a 'yea, yea, yea' situation, dr. murray wouldn't have anything to worry about, would he? he could just blame mj for being a junkie and that would be the end of it. but that's not the case, is it?

as it is, dr. murray will be lucky if he only has his medical license revoked. more than likely, though, he's looking a criminal charges .

babybugz said:

Yeah now that would be weird. It ain't like someone who wasn't even around when he died and then became a fan (like I did for Marvin and Mary Wells, lol). But to become a fan as SOON as someone dies like last week is weird to me, lol.

Timmy84 said:

It really is weird if you didn't care when he was alive why care now lol it's nice that people are buying his records again but it would have been nice if you did when he was here lol sadly he can't see this .

mookie said:

this is so sad. i pray this isn't true. as much as i don't like the crazy dr. klein, he may be on to something here about not wanting these kids with the jacksons. mj went out of his way to protect his children from these lowlife vultures in the press who preyed upon him. now his family is offering up them up as sacrificial lambs for profit. sick, sick, sick.

I can't believe I'm saying this.

But I'm kind of starting to feel a little sorry for Murray. Dude has to deal with the fact that MJ died in his hands for the rest of his life. What a miserable feeling that must be.

Really? I think the tour woulda been as big as "HIStory" outside the US. Oh well....

I feel bad for those kids when they get older their old uncles(jermaine ) going to be asking them for money all the time lol

That's been my whole life until now.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for saying that...funny as hell! And a likely scenario.

Anyone look at Murray's defense team. I remember seeing that Alford guy speaking out too a few days after MJ died to the morning shows.

Their website

And notice how the youtube user's name who posted Murray's video, is the actual name of the law firm. houstoncriminallaw


So his lawyers told him to post that video.

Just because he asked for it,doesn't mean that the doctor should just whip out his prescription pad,and write it up. Plus he did'nt just get it for him,he INJECTED it into him! People making it sound like just because a patient asks for something that the doctor should just automatically pony it up.

Michael & Shanice

Is this for real? I´ve never read it. If this is true, than I don´t get his logic at all. How can you make such a disgusting video about someone you respect? Didn´t he know that young kids admiring him are going to regard that as him prompting them to hate MJ. Is that how one shows a respect?

Let´s not get heated up over stupid articles. Let´s remember that 90% of what has been reported has never happened. Let´s get heated up once things actually happen.

"Smooth Criminal" demo?

Source: Michael Jackson's Doctor to Be Charged With Manslaughter

Michael Jackson’s personal physician will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, a law enforcement source told FOXNews.com.

The source initially said Dr. Conrad Murray could be arrested as soon as next Wednesday — but investigators have decided to execute one more search warrant, likely at a Los Angeles pharmacy, next week in an attempt to gather more evidence against him. The arrest is now expected the following week.

Murray isn’t the only doctor who faces criminal charges in connection with Jackson's death on June 25. A law enforcement source told FOXNews.com that Jackson’s longtime dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, will be hit with charges related to medical malpractice. Investigators are still building their case against Klein, and he will not be arrested for at least another two weeks, the source said.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office is currently in talks with investigators about whether they will offer Murray the option of surrendering in Los Angeles, or if he will be arrested in Houston, where he is currently staying.

Investigators initially had hoped to charge Murray with a more serious crime than manslaughter — a defendant may be charged with second degree murder in California without the presence of a motive — but prosecutors are concerned that a jury will be unlikely to convict without one, sources said. Unless a "smoking gun" is found in next week’s search, Murray will be charged with manslaughter.

Law enforcement sources previously told FOXNews.com that Murray admitted he gave the King of Pop the intravenous anesthetic propofol to help him sleep just hours before his death — and that propofol was at least a contributing factor in the 50-year-old entertainer's death.

Murray posted a video on YouTube Tuesday that his legal team said was intended to be seen by his friends and patients. The video, which was Murray’s idea, was shot last Wednesday at a Houston residence, a spokeswoman for his attorneys said.

Sirius Video, a Houston production company, was hired to film the cardiologist's first public words since Jackson’s death. But a company spokeswoman would not say who bankrolled the video. Murray is reportedly broke; his latest money troubles involve possible eviction from his Las Vegas home.

In the one- minute video, a bedraggled and teary-eyed Murray thanked his friends and supporters and said he has been unable to check his e-mail or return phone calls due to death threats.

“I want to thank all of my patients and friends who have sent such kind e-mails, letters and messages to let me know of your support and prayers for me and my family," Murray said.

"Because of all that is going on I’m afraid to return phone calls or use my e-mail. Therefore I recorded this video to let all of you know that I have been receiving your messages. I have not been able to thank you personally, which you know is not normal for me.

“Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going. They mean the world to me.

“Please don’t worry. As long as I keep God in my heart and you in my life, I will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail.”

A spokeswoman for Murray’s legal team said the video was simply Murray’s way of thanking his supporters, and that the doctor’s friends and supporters who had provided contact information to the attorneys received an e-mail with the link to the YouTube video yesterday.

But others said the video was Murray’s "last testament" — a transparent attempt to garner sympathy and influence a jury pool.

“This was a total PR stunt,” said former Broward County prosecutor Kenneth Padowitz.

“I think what they’re trying to do is humanize him, trying to make him seem like this is somebody that maybe you could know and this is not a bad guy—that’s what they’re trying to do,” Padowitz said. “And for that limited purpose, it probably was effective….

“Is it a transparent attempt to get feelings in his favor? Yeah. It’s a gimmick.”

Padowitz said the video was certainly intended for widespread viewing, despite what Murray’s legal team says. And having his only statement come in a video format allowed for total control over what he said.

“They did it this way so there could be no questioning by a reporter, no cross examination by anyone, or anyone asking a question he could not answer," Padowitz said. "They just basically put out a PR piece.”
