Latoya doesn't seem to mind giving interviews in general regardless of the newspaper or whatever. I post ridiculous gossip too, doesn't mean it could be true either. It's too confusing to think it could be murder even with the LAPD pushing for possible manslaughter charges. No one has a clear way of knowing what happened on June 25. | |

I'm sorry but if this interview is genuine then she is a ripe attention seeking money grabbing fame whoring heffer. this is sooooo not the time to be talking to anyone representing US magazine especially after they called her brother Nazi obsessed and said his kids weren't his. If they misquoted her and took whatever she said out of context then she needs to sue their asses now!  I doubt she'll even do that but saying I'm not shocked at La Toya's actions. This is the same woman who said her father physically abused her and the other siblings and then went on to allege sexual abuse (something Rebbie and Janet denied) at her and the sisters (with the exception of Janet) and then claimed she KNEW for sure that her brother was a molester though she later recanted and said Jack Gordon made her say this stuff, now she thinks her brother was murdered? Give me a break. Wait until the autopsies for chrissakes, La Toya. Im back to be sick of that woman. Tried to forgive her when she threw her family under the bus. I still remember her being on Geraldo saying all that crap about Micheal being a child molester and saying she saw "tubs of bleach cream" at his house and that he wanted to be white.  Ugh that bitch!!! | |

The only ones still denying MJ's rightful role as parent (by law, by love, AND by blood) are either promoting a certain *cough*RACIST*cough* agenda, or are too ashamed to admit that they were wrong all these years. 
But go ahead. Continue to tout every white man under the sun as the "true" father of these beautiful kids, if that's what helps you sleep at night. [Edited 7/10/09 10:23am] [Edited 7/10/09 10:35am]  okay. maybe that's where cdcgold was coming from. I must admit I was confused about what cdcgold was trying to say. The thing is, what difference does it make what color these children are? They were loved by their father.... and that's all that really matters. Isn't it? I say this as a general statement ..for anyone who has anything to say about the color of these beautiful children. In the middle east they don't trip over this ... did ya'll know that? America ...American society at large really needs to grow up....on this issue this is the time of the first fast. | |

They say MJ was the odd one, I think his sister (and maybe Joe) take the cake as the odd ones. | |

[Edited 7/11/09 12:56pm] Timmy84, don't you think Marvin easily could have complained much more than MJ? MJ was quite blessed too. If he would have become a star in his early 20s, he might have been able to enjoy the success. But I assume for him it was usual to be famous and making music. | |

Michael Jackson: King of Style The military details, red leather and black loafers made the pop singer an '80s fashion icon 07/10/09 Wearing one glove, Michael Jackson reached into the pop culture zeitgeist and influenced an entire generation, giving pieces as simple as military badges and a fedora an imprint that, for a time, was as powerful as his music. At the height of his career in the mid-1980s, he was a fresh representation of how a male pop singer could look, with his perfectly chiseled face, long curls, white T-shirt, black pegged pants, white ankle socks and black loafers. Reminiscent of a dancer's costume, the graphic black-and-white enhanced his unbelievable moves. That rhinestone-studded glove became his signature statement. The power of his determinedly idiosyncratic style was amplified by MTV, which beamed "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" around the world and made him its first fashion icon. Teenagers wanted what he had, taking break-dance lessons and wearing pink bow ties and single rhinestone gloves to school. The more his popularity soared, the more he dressed to impress. The red leather, zippers and Jheri curls of "Thriller" evolved into a more regal look that was in keeping with his reputation as the King of Pop. Embellished jackets became his uniform. Festooned with gold braiding, epaulets, brass buttons, even forks and knives, each one was more elaborate than the next, and they became a kind of symbol for the more-is-more fashion era. In 1984, when Jackson was invited to the White House to receive an award from President Reagan, he wore a blue sequined cropped jacket with gold sequined epaulets, his signature glove, black loafers with spats and aviator sunglasses. The men behind the Man in the Mirror were L.A.-based costume designers Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins. They quietly designed most of Jackson's personal and concert tour wardrobes -- tens of thousands of pieces, many with military details -- working from a Michael mannequin in their studio that was built to the singer's exact measurements. The pop star's directive was always, "This is what the world's wearing -- top it," the designers said in 2005. And they tried. One jacket -- worn in a 1990 L.A. Gear ad campaign -- was black suede and covered in miniature gold license plates. Costume designer Deborah Landis designed the iconic leather "Thriller" jacket, settling on the color after learning that "there would be a huge dance with ghouls, and the ghouls would be very ragged and coming from dust," she said recently. "So I thought, what would make Michael pop? I went through the palette and came up with red." Jackson understood the power of costume on and off the stage -- and even in court. When he appeared at the Santa Maria courthouse in 2005 to face child molestation charges, his oddly styled get-ups (the famous pajama bottoms and armbands) created a template for a kind of kooky celeb-goes-on-trial look. It was his face, though, that seemed to hold the most fascination for the public. The never-ending speculation about his rhinoplasties fueled a cultural obsession with plastic surgery as Jackson pursued an ideal of beauty that for him was always just out of reach. It's almost as if the fashion industry knew it was time for a Jackson tribute. The pop singer's influence was everywhere on the runway this past season, in the crystal-dusted jackets at Balmain, Givenchy's gold-studded jackets and the sequined gloves at Louis Vuitton. Swarovski had been tapped to bedazzle the costumes for Jackson's comeback tour in London. It would have been a fashion spectacle for the ages. http://theenvelope.latime...2330.story | |

LleeLlee said: Arnotts said: How could the mask thing not be right? They are the whole reason that they had any privacy at all and were out of the media spotlight away from Michael. Everyone went crazy mad at him for doing it but it was the best thing he ever did for their privacy. If they didnt understand why they had to wear them then I bet they sure as hell know why now. It just looked creepy if you know what I mean. Oh and the hair bleaching of the older son, :eek  I mean Madge didnt go to thsoe lengths with her kids..but anyway, yes, a big  for protecting them. BTW, I think Janet would never take thsoe kids on and I'm glad, she just seems so not maternal to me. I think Blanket is so cute. They are beautiful kids.I know, but I really think she should have done something similar, dont ask me what though. I just saw paparazzi footage of her daughter on youtube and it was SICK. These people were mobbing her and chasing her down the street for just getting a manicure, seeing the footage is so much different than just seeing the photos, the paparzzi look so crazed. It really is a tough decision for celebrities especially people like Michael and Madonna (and now Brad and Angie) who are the worlds biggest stars. I don't know what I'd do in their shoes. | |

LOS ANGELES – Detectives investigating the death of Michael Jackson are looking at his prescription drug history and trying to talk with his numerous former doctors, the Los Angeles police chief said. Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, told ABC News in an interview that he believed "foul play" was involved in his son's death. But in the interview aired Friday on "Good Morning America," Jackson did not elaborate. Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told CNN that police are waiting for the coroner's report before ruling out any possibilities in their "comprehensive" investigation into the sudden death of the 50-year-old pop star two weeks ago. The coroner's report will determine the cause of death and hinges on time-consuming toxicology tests. "Based on those we'll have an idea of what we're dealing with," Bratton said Thursday. "Are we dealing with homicide? Are we dealing with an accidental overdose? What are we dealing with?" Bratton said detectives are gathering evidence, including items seized from Jackson's rented home and arranging interviews with his many physicians, but the police chief deferred to the coroner to determine the cause of death. "The next move really is his," Bratton said. "We're not marking time waiting for his report." The Drug Enforcement Administration and the state attorney general's office, which keeps a database of prescription drugs, are assisting investigators. An attorney for Dr. Arnold Klein, one of Jackson's many physicians, told the Los Angeles Times that the dermatologist was subpoenaed for medical records, which he turned over to the county coroner's office. Bratton refused to discuss details of the case. Jackson, who died June 25, had a well-known history of using prescription medications, especially painkillers. Following his death, Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who had worked for Jackson, told The Associated Press she repeatedly rejected his demands for the potent anesthetic Diprivan, also known as Propofol. Jackson had multiple doctors, friends and staff who came in and out of his life. Which people were being interviewed by police was unclear because the LAPD has said virtually nothing about the probe. Joe Jackson said he didn't know anything about drugs his son was involved in. "I don't even know the name of them," he said. "I do know that whatever he was taking was to make him rest because he had been working so hard." Police towed a doctor's car from Jackson's home hours after he died and said later it could contain medication or other evidence. Coroner's officials also said Jackson was taking prescription medication but declined to elaborate. Meanwhile, Joe Jackson told ABC that he and his wife, Katherine, should have custody of Michael's three children. "They'll grow up to be strong Jacksons," he said. He said Michael's daughter, Paris, who spoke at the Tuesday memorial service, was taking the death hard and was crying whenever Michael's name is mentioned. He said that she might have a future in the entertainment business along with the youngest son, nicknamed Blanket, who "can really dance."
Their father has just passed away,and he is already thinking of their careers?  i remember reading somewhere that a friend said joe was dreaming of a singing group even before all of his children were born. Wow hes sure as hell lucky his kids came out as talented as they did then! | |

They also may want to know (if at all possible) who their biological parents are when they're adults. | |

Just curious to know what people think but these photos Michael seems to appear happy and content here in 2008, and his weight doesn't look ridiculously thin.

seeingvoices12 said: ViintageJunkiie said: Nope. He's not buried yet. Last I heard, he was supposed to be buried at Forest Lawn, but that was a temporary placement for him. I hear they signed papers and trying to get him buried at Neverland. i feel bad for the neighbors because it's going to be so much traffic really? But they should bury him as soon as possible,the man has been dead for more than 2 weeks and they still didn't bury him , I don't think thats right at all. I believe in this state (CA) the law provides up to 21 days from date of death for the decedent to be buried. But that's at the very very latest. Usually legal issues tie things up. It's a very complex procedure to move a body from one county to the next even... The body has to go from one mortuary by proper transport, to another mortuary ...proper transport being ambulance or what have you. Generally there are fee's at each point to be paid as well. But if the body is not properly ... and it can get very expensive very quickly, I should think. If the body is not properly transfered from one point, in one county to another, then no cemetary will accept the body for burial. Not in CA. Maybe these laws got so strict because of the James Brown issue (even though that happened in a different state) but is was so public that that incident could have affected some of the law makers I dont know. But these laws are said to be for prevention of illness and public safety issues ... as well as to cut down other legal issues for families ;..such as someone taking off with the body and hiding it in a room somewhere with just A/C. sheesh I didn't realize I was so full of details on legal issues. I dont know how I learned all this stuff. But I tell the truth, this is pretty much the way it goes...in general...if any one is interested. hope i'm not boring everyone to tears with this stuff. sheesh. this is the time of the first fast. | |

First of all 
second: Yeah. its a MJ doll thank you ... seeingvoices12 your so sweet right backatcha.
But I confess I almost feel a little guilty for receiving a hug that clearly should go to that child. sending :hugs: and prayes out in a spirit of love for that child who cries. peace this is the time of the first fast. | |
