Michael's Doctor Prescribed Medicine for Janet?

A former doctor and close confident of MICHAEL JACKSON has denied he recently provided the late star with medication – as it emerges he wrote fake prescriptions for the star’s sister JANET JACKSON.
Dr. Allen Metzger was Jackson’s personal medic on his 1996 HIStory tour, and even filmed the star’s nuptials to first wife Debbie Rowe.
But as America’s Drug Enforcement Administration help the Los Angeles cops hunt down doctors who could have abused their position to help provide the Thriller hitmaker with prescriptions, Metzger’s history of providing the superstar clan with drugs in fictitious names has come to light.
Speaking to TMZ.com, the physician admits he wrote a prescription for Janet Jackson in the name of her then chef Ricardo Macchi. The medication was for diuretics – used to help the patient pass water.
He also confesses to writing a prescription – in Macchi’s name again – for a Hepatitis B injection for the Nasty singer, but insists it was a precautionary measure and the singer didn’t have the virus at the time.
But Metzger soon came under scrutiny – when Macchi sued him over the fictitious notes, the doctor received a strongly-worded reprimand from the U.S. Medical Board in 2000 accusing him of “fraudulent medical practise” involving an “international entertainer”.
Metzger is adamant he used Macchi’s name to save Janet Jackson any embarrassment: “I had done this for Janet for her anonymity.”
And the doctor has vehemently denied he was medically involved with Michael Jackson in recent years – but refuses to confirm if he provided the star with prescription drugs during his time as his personal physician.
He tells TMZ.com, “I am not at liberty to discuss Michael’s medical care. I have not treated him for ages. I have not treated Michael Jackson for many years.
“I have nothing to do with this tragedy with Michael. I have not prescribed any medication in relation to what happened to him.”

YEAH! I was speaking to a friend the other day and she had the nerve to tell me her ringtone was now Billie Jean and how sad she was... :talktothehand:

My 10yr old nephew asked me to burn him "The Essential Michael Jackson",and BAD CD's today. He also wanted Thriller,but I ran out of CD-R's. For the first time in his life these last 10 days,he has been allowed to watch MTV. To see him watch the Thriller video for the first time,was surreal,because I was about the same age when I first saw it. He has already picked his favorite songs,and absolutely LOVES the Ghost mini movie. This week with him has almost been like going back in time,and living it over again,and that is an amazing feeling.

I agree with Patti Labelle. This is what Aretha Franklin had to say:

he King of Pop, says the Queen of Soul, never put on royal airs.

The Michael Jackson that Aretha Franklin knew was unfailingly sweet, courteous and, above all, respectful.

"What I'll remember is his kindness and sensitivity," Franklin says from Washington, D.C., where she traveled to perform for Saturday's PBS special A Capitol Fourth. A non-flier, she can't make it to Los Angeles by bus for today's memorial service. "He impressed me as being a very kind and gentle young man. It's a huge loss for music, and a great soul has gone on."
Though their paths didn't cross often in recent years, Franklin and Jackson became chums after she brought her sons to meet the Jackson 5 at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1970. Studying him over the next few years, she was awestruck by his preternatural musical instincts and rapidly flowering talent.

"I thought, 'This little boy can really sing,' " says Franklin, 67. "He liked James Brown and Jackie Wilson, especially his rendition of Doggin' Around. He kind of emulated that. But when you listened to his albums, you knew he was an original and had things of his own coming from his heart."

From 1979 to 1982, before Franklin returned to Detroit, she and the Jackson family were neighbors in Encino, a valley suburb "away from the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles," she says.

Her sons were soon friends with the Jacksons, whom Franklin found "very intelligent and well-mannered." Michael, then in his early 20s, was "quiet but still very precocious."

On a Disneyland outing with Franklin and her sons Clarence and Eddie, Michael "had a super time," she recalls. "He was very playful that day. My sons told me he kept sneaking up behind me like he was going to run into me.

"The Four Tops were performing, and Levi Stubbs started singing It's All in the Game directly at Michael, making references to him in the lyrics: 'You know, Michael, many a tear must fall.' I interpreted it as his mini life lesson to Michael."

Franklin treasures a photo she has of Michael and his sister Janet under a tree in her yard, snapped when they came over for a swim.

"Michael was shy but very inquisitive," she says, "He would ask me how my children felt about their mother being a star, questions like that."

Stunned and saddened by Jackson's death, Franklin says she's also dismayed by conjecture that drug abuse played a role.

"Those are natural questions, but in fairness to him we should wait for the coroner's report and stop speculating," she says.

Despite Jackson's personal drama, Franklin is convinced he'll be remembered for his musical triumphs.

"Everyone from (ages) 8 to 80 moonwalked — well, we all tried it!" she says. "Unquestionably, his music is legendary. That's what will last."

See what I mean!

I mean if you say you're not into someone...STAY THAT WAY, don't change up, that'll only make fans feel worse. "Oh now you're apologizing?

Timmy84 said:

They're doing it with such ghoulish glee...the way they trampled through Neverland and now this?

I'm done.

babynoz said:

I remember their coverage of the James Brown drama. His wife in there crying and shit for the cameras, lol I'm glad they told her to stop going to the cameras. It wasn't helping matters in settling James' will.

Cinnamon234 said:

I believe it! They were also the first ones to broadcast the ambulance leaving his home,and the picture of him on the gurney. Sick!

Timmy84 said:

Her antics pretty much turned a whole lotta folks against her.

EmeraldSkies said:

they're taking a really hardline stance on the whole rubbernecking attitude, even more disgustingly so than usual. what media outlets do you guys think have taken the high road? which TV channels/shows, magazines, etc., do you think have done a respectful job of reporting?

babynoz said:

Like me. That woman was just... ugh!

Anxiety said:

Can't find any since it's all in the wash. Maybe NBC but I ain't watching it, my momma saw a bit of their special after "Law & Order" went off. I haven't really been paying attention nor do I want to.

Anxiety said:

I really try not to watch anything on TV news wise related to Michael,because I always seem to get pissed off or end up getting emotional.

Anxiety said:

CNN has been pretty balanced imo. I think they've been pretty fair.

Cinnamon234 said:

Yeah, I think Don Lemon has done a respectable job.

Michael said in an interview that we should all be like Jesus, innocent and child-like. Do you guys feel that Michael's ability to stir so many people to love him/his creativity draws parallels between him and Jesus.
There is the mocking and also taunting that eventually led to his death directly or indirectly.

People who have known Michael on a very personal level say he was very child-like and trusting of everyone. They cannot imagine he would do anything to harm anyone especially children. He loved children.

WTH! Was Janet really a zombie in the Thriller music video?

trueiopian said:

I heard this rumor for YEARS! I doubt it's true though. Janet would've confirmed it already.

The book that NEVER got off the ground, because Michael threatened to sue Jermaine if he went through with it.

Jermaine Jackson Proposing Tell-All Book About Michael
Mark Lelinwalla

Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst



According to the New York Daily News, Jermaine Jackson’s eight-page book proposal for Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst, includes shocking revelations of Jermaine questioning his famous brother’s innocence against child molestation charges, inquiring if the King of Pop is the biological father of his own children and even alleging their dad, Joe, molested LaToya and Rebbie. Jermaine also goes on to say that the family has protected Michael’s name and that his famous sibling did change the color of his skin. No word has been given yet on a possible publishing date for Jermaine’s proposal.

Money can surely make you do some very corrupt shit!

Timmy84 said:

On IMBD it says she's an uncredited zombie
and there's speculation that she was the one on MJ's right in the purple dress

Chic35 said:

Michael had vitiligo

Chic35 said:

uhh wheres the source to this?

trueiopian said:

I saw that exact woman and it wasn't Janet. She was talking through the makeup and her looks/voice didn't match then 16-year-old Janet's.

pplrain said:

yeah he went through depigmentation. I don't buy this shit. There are going to be rumours flying. Jermaine has always defended michael...against those charges...was one of the first to speak up. Really disrespectful.

Agreed. He's been very respectful.
