Because if he didn't, that fangirl or whatever would have done something worst to him.

I saw that, but still he was afraid of obsessed fans.

bboy87 said:

Thanks.
BTW, what deas "IV" mean? Mike allegedly said they had him walking with that.

Let's clear this up AGAIN.

This was recorded in a soundcheck in 2003 in Brisbane Australia. During the soundcheck members of the NPGMC were present. Prince invited Paul Black (a fan) up on stage during Billie Jean to dance, and then got him to sing it.

So to answer the questions - no it is recent, and no it's not Prince singing.

People actually think Prince sounds like that?

bboy87 said:

Hey bboy, do you have the other pics for this? i know there is more. Really interesting.

NastradumasKid said:

Probably just Tito.

Swa said:

oh my- I meant to say- .....for it to be a tribute- his tributes are serious

Damn, you need to get laid

Custody Hearing Delayed Again
July 2009

A court hearing over who will raise Michael Jackson's three children was postponed again Friday in an apparent bid to settle the issue behind closed doors.

Los Angeles Superior Court officials said a guardianship hearing scheduled for Monday had been rescheduled to Aug. 3 -- the second delay in the decision over who would get permanent custody of the children.

Jackson's mother, Katherine, 79, was granted temporary custody by the courts of Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, 7, after Jackson's death on June 25.

But lawyers for Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe have been in talks with representatives of Jackson's parents, and one report this week said the "Thriller" singer's sister, Janet, was also interested in raising them.

Jackson left his estate, valued at $500 million in an attachment to his will, to a family trust that benefits his children, his mother and charities.

Jackson said in his 2002 will he wanted his mother to care for the children if he died.

Rowe is the mother of the two eldest children, and she has made ambiguous comments to the media about seeking custody of the children after years of having minimal contact with them.

Her lawyers this week sued a woman who claimed Rowe was willing to accept millions of dollars in exchange for giving up her parental rights.

The biological parents of Jackson's third child, Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, have never been revealed.


The Aug. 3 hearing on the children will coincide with another hearing on Jackson's complex estate.

The coroner's report on the cause of the singer's death is still awaiting toxicology and other test results. His burial arrangements were not announced.

you know what- just the fact that this woman has not snatched these kids up proves without a doubt that they are his biological kids- what biological father would not go to her and say o.k. lets do this thing togehter- let's go get our kids? with so much money and fame attached to these kids?

and they said in the articile "The biological parents of Jackson's third child, Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, have never been revealed." wth? again if there were two people who knew for a fact that the child was not MJs biologically all hell woulda broke loose a long time ago. that mom and the father would be runnin to grab him up.....


in regular poor families siblings will fight nail and tooth over ther deceased parents money, house or car.

I don't buy the whole they are not his kids stuff.....

Evvy said:

they are his kids. you can't be sure about paris cause she looks nothing like michael. but prince and blanket are definately his. are chances are if prince is his then paris is too cause why would he use his own sperm for the first child. use a donor for the second and then use his on sperm for the last.

but anyway don't waste your breath everyone on here refuses to believe their his cause the don't look the way they want them to. most people on here refuse to belive any child that's not brown with super curly hair could possibly be Mj's even though mj's siblings have kids who look just like his kids

So what? I'm genuinely of the opinion that one of the things that fucks stars like Michael up the most is having millions of people all up in your business. Along with the idolization and sycophantery, none of it's good. You all need to do what I did this morning, just sit and listen to some of his classic work and remember what a vibrant, joyous young artist he once was. This other stuff is incidental for the most part.

cdcgold said:

Not according to LaToya's last interview and she hasn't disputed the article yet.

No one is saying that Michael wasn't 'daddy', but with the long-term drug use and other health problems, I doubt he had very healthy sperm. It would actually be negligent to even TRY and conceive a child under those circumstances.

Michael Jackson's Thriller Set To Become Top-Selling Album Of All Time
RIAA says Jackson classic is poised to surpass Eagles' greatest-hits collection in U.S. sales.

By Kyle Anderson

In the weeks since Michael Jackson's death, his posthumous sales have gone through the roof, regularly outperforming the top new releases on the Billboard albums chart. Jackson's Number Ones has done the biggest numbers, but demand for his classic Thriller isn't far behind. In fact, sales have been so robust that the Recording Industry Association of America is reporting that it's about to surpass the Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) as the top-selling album of all time.

Their Greatest Hits was certified platinum for the 29th time back in 2006, meaning that sales of the compilation surpassed 29 million copies in the United States. Meanwhile, Thriller was last certified in March, when it passed 28 million. Demand for physical copies of Jackson albums (an estimated 82 percent of his sales have been actual CDs) have ramped up the number of copies of Thriller in circulation, and the RIAA believes that said demand has brought the number up to 29 million.

That does not necessarily mean that Thriller has sold 29 million copies, as the RIAA's certification process is based on the number of albums shipped to stores, not necessarily the number actually scanned and sold. But based on the rabid consumption of Jackson's music in the past few weeks and the hard numbers released weekly by SoundScan, it's doubtful that there is much distance between the number of CDs shipped and the number sold. If the pace continues, Thriller will become the first album to go triple diamond, meaning 30 million albums sold.

The RIAA's certifications are simply a formality, though, as Jackson's Thriller is already recognized as the top-selling album according to worldwide sales. Though numbers vary, it's reasonable to estimate that the album has moved 110 million copies worldwide since its 1982 release. As a comparison, the Eagles' Their Greatest Hits has moved an estimated 42 million — a formidable number for sure, but less than half of Jackson's total.

according to the chopra's daughters blog, which was posted at the huffington post, grace was sought out by daphne barak to talk about a charity she wanted to start in her native country. 'somehow' the conversation turned to mj, and poor grace was 'duped' into talking about him. (i don't believe any of that for a second.) she admits in her blog that grace was living with barak, and while she categorically denies that grace ever told barak that she pumped mj's stomach, chopra dances around other things allegedly said in the interview, and further claims whether grace said them or not isn't the point. the fact that barak 'took advantage' of grace, *is* the point. which is b.s. in my estimation. roger friedman (not surprisingly) has a link to the snippet of grace clearly sitting for the interview of her own volition, as does barak at her own website. barak may have embellished the stomach pumping bit, but that doesn't mitigate the fact that grace was willing to spill her guts (pun intended!) to barak in the first place.

AEG And Jackson Estate Seek Deal To Release Documentary
July 20, 2009


AEG Live and the estate of Michael Jackson are negotiating with several Hollywood studios, seeking at least $50 million in exchange for the theatrical-and-DVD distribution rights to a documentary about the final days of the late pop singer, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Los Angeles-based concert promoter is trying to offset the $30 million it spent to stage a series of concerts the late pop singer was preparing for at the time of his death, and make up for tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue from ticket receipts and sales of merchandise.

The documentary would be culled from footage shot by AEG as Jackson prepared for the tour. Jackson staged rehearsals at Staples Center, an AEG venue, and later site of his memorial service.

Among the studios named are:

Sony Pictures Entertainment
Twentieth Century Fox
Paramount Pictures
Universal Pictures

AEG and the Jackson estate would split fees, saying that while AEG shot the footage, the estate owns it, as it controls the rights to Jackson's name and likeness.

The report did not say that there was a definite front runner, but did note that Sony Music Entertainment does own the distribution rights to Jackson's music, which could play in Sony's favor.

Jackson died June 25.

I did hear about that article from Arnie Klein's ex lover saying Arnie told him Michael couldn't have his own kids.

To me it doesn't matter whether he didn't conceive the children naturally, he was a great father to them and raised them well. He's their father at the end of the day.

well according to tito they are. i don't know about you but but tito seems alot more sane than latoya to me.

suga10 said:

i can't believe you people will believe some fool. who obviously was looking for his five minutes of fame. and i still can't belivepeople still deny blanket is michael's child. michael himself couldn't deny that boy if he wanted to.

NastradumasKid said:

I'm not sure,but I do know that I would want them to stay the hell away from me.

Hey anybody got the scoop on Arnie supposedly saying he's the dad and wanting custody all of a sudden. I heard it on the radio this morning. Made me get on my cell and you know that shit will get you a ticket.


Everybody wants these kids or what? Rebe taking them to the kingdom hall. Wonder how Mike would feel about that?

cdcgold said:

The point is why does it have to matter if he's the biological father? Who cares! There are tons of couples out there who adopt children all the time because they can't conceive children of their own. Do you know that men who suffer from autoimmune diseases (like Vitiligo and Lupus) are at a high risk of infertility?

DesireeNevermind said:

Yeah I heard, and he's going to be doing a DNA test too.

suga10 said:

Ugh! I hope it comes back negative. He's just as bad as Debbie Rowe, maybe worse.

DesireeNevermind said:

I hope Arnie and Rowe don't get anywhere near those kids. Those poor kids are going through enough stress in their lives as it is

They said also that Joe kicked Michael in the balls twice when MJ was a child and that caused him to have fertility problems as an adult. Shit had me crying in my car dammit. I can't stand that bitch ass Jo. I know people cut him some slack for getting his kids in the biz but come on...a talent like Michaels was bound to find it's way into our hearts. He would have been something special anyway be it music, dancing, medicine, teaching etc. He's a virgo, those signs are associated with service and the arts. He was going to have an impact on the world in some way, shape or form.
