He didn't need to change ANYMORE at that point, but he did for some reason. People suddenly saying he looked "just like" Janet may have been one of the reasons he continued to be persuaded by Hoefflin ( ) and others to alter his appearance. Might've been. | |

By RYAN NAKASHIMA, Associated Press Writer Ryan Nakashima, Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES – The legal team for Michael Jackson's mother on Tuesday asked a judge for the power to press the administrators of her son's estate for more information ahead of a key hearing next week, but the judge rebuffed the effort. Lawyers for Katherine Jackson on Tuesday requested the authority to interview attorney John Branca and former music executive John McClain this Friday, as well as demand they produce business contracts and other documents related to the late pop star. Her lawyers argued in a court filing that the information was "potentially crucial" to a hearing set for Monday that could determine the permanent representatives of Jackson's estate, which is estimated to be worth more than $500 million. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff put off dealing with their request until Monday, effectively quashing it. Beckloff may determine at Monday's hearing whether special administrators Branca and McClain will transition from temporary to permanent representatives of the estate, and whether an allowance will be granted to Katherine and Jackson's three children. Jackson's 2002 will puts his assets in a trust that benefits Katherine, his three children and unnamed children's charities. Tuesday's filing was meant to expedite the process of obtaining "important personal, business and legal information and documents relating to Michael Jackson" including his deal with concert promoter AEG Live, according to a written statement from L. Londell McMillan, who is part of Katherine Jackson's legal team. They're also seeking "life insurance policies, settlements and disputes as well as agreements between the temporary special administrators and Michael Jackson (and others)." McMillan said they'd requested some of the documents before and had hoped to see them before the Aug. 3 hearing. Katherine Jackson's lawyers alleged in filings that Branca and McClain were "intent on keeping her in the dark as much and for as long as possible." Branca and McClain's legal team responded that the singer's mother had made "voluminous, burdensome and invasive discovery demands" that were impossible to meet in a short time frame. It added that it could not produce the contract detailing Jackson's comeback tour with promoter AEG Live because of confidentiality provisions, but was willing to share the contract if Katherine Jackson agreed to the provisions. The parties were unable to agree on the terms. The administrators' legal team also argued that it was unclear why Katherine Jackson was demanding so much information. Her subpoena and deposition notices had "all the earmarks of a protracted and expensive legal battle which does not appear to be justified," the administrators' lawyers said in a filing. http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...son_estate | |

Timmy84 said: Tito Jackson Breaks His Silence A month has now passed since the shocking, sudden death of Michael Jackson, and now his brother Tito Jackson breaks his silence. Still grieving for his hugely famous younger sibling, Tito talks exclusively to ET's Kevin Frazier with answers to the questions everyone wants to know about. Concerning the rumors of various drugs like Propofol being administered to Michael by his doctor, Conrad Murray, Tito tells Kevin, "I had no clue of what was being done by his personal physician whatsoever." Asked whether or not he thinks Dr. Murray should be brought to justice, Tito responds, "If he is responsible, yes. Whoever is responsible, they should be brought to justice." Tito's sister La Toya has been extremely vocal in recent weeks, saying that she believes Michael was murdered, but Tito responds, "She's definitely entitled to her own conclusion or decisions on things. That is a strong accusation. I won't come to that conclusion until I see all the reports and they're all in." He reveals that members of the Jackson family did try to stage an intervention with Michael years ago, but could not get in to see him. "Some of the employers, security or whatever, were more concerned about their paychecks than letting us check on our brother," he says. Asked if he thought that Michael was encircled by enablers, he replies, "I feel at times he was." As for the final days and hours before his death, Tito says, "I think he was [encircled by enablers]." Tito revealed that Michael's body lies at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles while the family determines the location of his final resting place. "I feel that wherever he rests he should stay there and not be moved, whether it's Neverland or Forest Lawn or wherever," says Tito. "Neverland wouldn't be a bad place, but from what I'm hearing is that [Michael] never wanted to go back to Neverland to live because of the situations as we know in the past, and it left such a bitter taste in his mouth. I believe that's where all the pain started, way back when." Kevin was there as Tito accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award on Michael's behalf at the 17th Annual Reggae Sumfest, where Tito and the Funk Brothers Band performed at the five-star resort Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Watch ET for more with Tito Jackson and the Michael Jackson death investigation. [Edited 7/28/09 16:25pm] I find it interesting that Tito did not give a straight answer about Omer. He said to ask his father. | |

I am glad the net is closing in on Dr Murray
It is considered reckless in the medical community for a doctor to administer an IV drip of Propofol without the patient being monitored by an EKG, which sounds an alarm when the patient's pulse drops too low. No EKG was found in the house. | |

Timmy84 said: Swa said: The GRAMMY Living Legend Award is a special Grammy Award, awarded on special occasions, not necessarily every year. This is a Special Merit Award, and it is presented by the Recording Academy to individuals or groups for ongoing contributions and influence in the recording field. It has only been awarded fifteen times since it was first presented in 1990.
The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded by the Recording Academy to "performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording" [1]. This award is distinct from the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, which honors specific recordings rather than individuals, and the Grammy Trustees Award, which honors non-performers. Yes Timmy you are correct, two separate awards. I think the Grammy board probably thought MJ still have more work to give. Swa That may have very well been the case but I still think it would've been nice to get it before his untimely death. I mean I know they inducted Off the Wall and Thriller to the Grammy Hall of Fame but you know... yeah thanks for clearing this up "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

Cops Seize Cell Phones, Hard Drive from Jackson's Doctor July 28 Detectives and DEA agents investigating Michael Jackson's death walked away from Dr. Conrad Murray's house in Las Vegas on Tuesday with cell phones and a computer hard drive, the physician's lawyer says. "The search warrant authorized investigators to look for medical records relating to Michael Jackson and all of his reported aliases," says attorney Edward Chernoff, whose client is the apparent target of a manslaughter investigation. Murray, who was with Jackson when the entertainer was stricken at his Los Angeles home and later pronounced dead, was in his house in a gated community outside Las Vegas when authorities arrived, and he helped them with the search, Chernoff says in a statement posted on his law firm's Web site. Authorities also searched Murray's clinic near the Las Vegas Strip. The searches came less than a week after Los Angeles and federal investigators raided Murray's clinic in Houston. That search warrant authorized the investigators to seek evidence of manslaughter, Chernoff said. http://www.people.com/peo...90,00.html | |

Sheriff probing Jackson coroner's employees
7/28/2009 9:05:02 AM Comments (0) Associated Press LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators have begun an inquiry into whether coroner's employees illegally leaked or sold private information related to the investigation of Michael Jackson's death. Investigators spoke to the coroner's office Friday and will handle the inquiry with the district attorney's office, according to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. The department was asked to conduct the probe by county supervisors, he said. "It's an inquiry, not an investigation, and it is very preliminary," Whitmore said. "We've just made a couple of calls. We want to find out if we need to proceed, if this requires an investigation." On Wednesday the coroner's office said Jackson's death certificate was improperly viewed by at least a half-dozen employees who had no role in investigating the cause of his death. Improper views of the certificate, which is stored in a state-supervised computer system, is a violation of internal rules, not any laws, Harvey said. Harvey has said the employees were warned and that no further investigation was needed. Within two weeks of the entertainer's June 25 death, the certificate had been viewed more than 300 times, according to Harvey. The electronic death registration system can be accessed by anyone with a state-issued password, including employees at coroner's offices, funeral homes, hospitals and county and state registrar's offices. | |
