CNN says about 19 doctors are being investigated for writing prescriptions drugs for Michael Jackson. sad
A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

The more I listen to Primetime the more I believe that it's gonna be difficult to blame this all on Murray. Considering the other drugs that may have been in MJ's system and as they say the amount of Propofol needed to make him sleep for 8 hrs would be great eek The makings of a helluva court case eek

Dare I say another "trial of the century". Dr Conrad Murray had to know that Michael Jackson was addicted to these drugs. His first action should have been pursuing drug rehab for Michael. Instead, he knew he had mounting debts and he was behind in his mortgage and this was the opportunity of a lifetime to cash in and get his finances in order so he did whatever he needed to do. Of course MJ bares some responsibility but he is dead now. There has been mountains of impropriety in the wake and SOMEONE MUST PAY!

Michael himself said he wasn't a big eater , as did Katherine. Jermaine's ex also said both Michael and Latoya weren't big eaters and would go days without food. He was supposedly eating one meal a day though in the past few months before his death. I mean that's not really healthy, but not terrible either under normal circumstances. You could survive on one meal. What made it really bad in MJ's case though is that he was a dancer. He was rehearsing for his upcoming concerts and that required a lot of energy and that would make anyone burn a lot of calories. He should have been eating more than one meal a day.

I can certainly go for that. He just looked very malnourished to me.

Meet LaQuanda and LaQuisha. Two new characters in this circus. These two women allegedly took materials from a warehouse related to Dr. Conrad Murray the exact same day that Michael Jackson died.

But also reportedly 3 hours before the 911 call. So may just be a coincidence.

Also the patient stops breathing 10 seconds after Dipravin has been administered. They were showing this on AC360 yesterday how Propofol is administered. That throws away the theory that Murray might have fell asleep during the time Dipravin was administered.

The more I read about this situation, the more pissed off I become.

See the video yesterday on CNN, where Sanjay Gupta shows Propofol being adminstered. The patient was not breathing after 10 seconds, and there were pumping something to bring him back to breathing in the medical setting.

Omer never said he wasn't MJ's son. A friend of Omer told the media that.

From People Magazine:

Michael Jackson had a close relationship with his own three children, but he also mentored many other youngsters over the years – including Omer Bhatti, a young musical talent who was particularly close to the singer.

Bhatti, now 25, sat front and center at the King of Pop's memorial earlier this month, and is currently staying at the Jackson family home in Encino, Calif.

A Norwegian performer, Bhatti was a fixture at Jackson's Neverland ranch after the two met in Europe in the mid-1990s, when Bhatti was around 11, according to several sources.

'Little Monkey'
"Everyone knew him as 'Little Michael,' and Michael referred to him as 'Little Monkey,' " remembers Ricky Harlow, a rocker in the band Harlow, who was signed to Jackson's MJJ Records in 1996 – and enjoyed an open invitation to Neverland.

Harlow, then about 15, spent many weeks at Jackson's ranch and remembers Bhatti and Jackson as being very close, but says media reports hinting that Bhatti is the pop star's son make little sense.

"They had a father-and-son type of connection," Harlow says, "but I never thought he was his biological father. They met when Little Michael did a contest impersonating Michael Jackson in Europe in the mid-1990s, and Michael saw it and was blown away and got in contact with the family."

Life at Neverland
The Jackson family recognizes the close bond and has taken in Bhatti, a source tells PEOPLE. "They definitely embrace him," says the source. "He lived with Michael like a son. After Michael died, he came to the Jackson family home in Encino. He came along with Michael's kids."

Soon after meeting Jackson, Bhatti and his mother Pia and father Riz were invited to live at Neverland, with all its perks.

"Michael cherished him," says Harlow. "He was always like, 'Please be careful with Little Monkey. When you ride on the four wheelers, PLEASE be careful because Little Michael lives with me.' I'm a crazy driver. I actually wrecked a bunch of the four wheelers with Little Michael with me. He was having so much fun."

Michael's Idol
As for Bhatti, he more than lived up to his nickname – dressing and moving just like Michael.

"I could tell little Michael idolized him," says Harlow. "[Omer] would say things like, 'I'm going to be a millionaire by the time I'm 20.' He was super ambitious; I remember he was very talented, and Michael would always say that."

Though many viewed Jackson's close relationship with children as inappropriate – he was tried on molestation charges, and acquitted, in 2005 – Harlow says Neverland holds only good memories for him.

"I would hang out at his place all the time, and we'd be dancing in front of the mirror together," Harlow, now 26, remembers. "One day and he turned to me and said, 'You've got a lot of nerve.' To him that meant I'm a bold person. I'm going to keep that in my heart."

EXCLUSIVE by Will Payne 26/07/2009
Omer Bhatti (pic: Lars Myhren Holand)

Michael Jackson’s “secret lovechild” has declared: 'He is NOT my dad'.

Omer Bhatti has revealed how Jackson feted him as an honorary son after inviting him and his family to move in with him.

Omer, 25, from Norway, who lived with Jackson at his Neverland ranch for eight years, hails the tragic pop legend as his “best friend”.

But he says there is no biological link between him and Jackson, despite widespread rumours he is the King of Pop’s illegitimate child, fathered during an alleged fling with Omer’s mum in 1983.

Omer, who lives in Norway, has revealed Jackson always used to say that he was like a son to him and he thinks that that must be the reason for all the rumours.

Confiding in a close friend from Oslo, Omer said: “Michael is not my father. He and I were just very, very close. He was my best friend.”

Omer was a guest of honour at Jackson’s memorial event in Los Angeles two weeks ago – sitting alongside the legend’s closest relatives in the front row.

“Michael always used to say I was like a son to him,” he told the friend. “But my true parents are here in Norway. The reason I was asked to sit with his family at the memorial service is because I was Michael’s closest friend – not because I am his son.”

He also confided in a girl pal: “Michael was such a special person to me and I cannot believe he is gone, I am in total shock. I have lost weight because I cannot eat anything. All I can think about is Michael and how he died.”

Omer moved to Neverland in 1996 after Jackson had met him and his parents in Tunisia where 12-year-old Omer had been on holiday.

Jackson was so taken with Omer that he had the boy, his mother, father and sister move to LA with him immediately.

He gave Omer’s mum Pia a job as a nanny for his son Prince Michael and employed dad Huayoun as a driver. Meanwhile, another of Omer’s friends, Ricky Harlow, also reveals today how Omer’s bond with Jackson grew so strong that he shared the star’s bed – while his family stayed in a cottage in a different part of Neverland.

The sleepovers took place at a time when Jackson was still reeling from allegations that he had molested 13-year-old Jordan Chandler.

Ricky, now 25 and living in Hollywood, told the Sunday Mirror in an exclusive interview: “I never got the vibe anything inappropriate was going on.

“Omer would sleep over at Michael’s. They would hang out and watch movies and all that kind of stuff. His parents and his sister stayed in a cottage in a different part of the ranch.”

Ricky added: “Omer sleeping in Michael’s bed would not have been a big deal. It would have been innocent.”

Jackson landed himself in huge controversy when he admitted during a 2003 TV interview with British journalist Martin Bashir that he shared his bed with a young friend.

That 13-year-old boy, Gavin Arvizo, later accused the star of sexual abuse – allegations that led to the major court case which almost ruined the superstar’s career. Jackson was found innocent of all charges.

Now, it can be revealed that Omer was also at times sleeping in the same room as the Thriller star. Ricky said the sleepovers took place before the Arvizo case.

Ricky, who was at that time singing with three other teenagers in a boy band called No Authority, added: “There was a real bond between Omer and Michael.

“Michael was very protective of him and wanted to mentor him.”

Ricky moved back to Norway after Jackson was hit by financial problems in 2004.

They forced him to cut back on his massive retinue and spending.

Omer had been such a part of Jackson’s inner-circle that he appeared alongside him at his birthday bash and starred in a home video opening Christmas presents on American TV.

Omer is currently in hiding in Norway, where has been confiding in his female friend, who first met him at a small dance school just yards from his house in a run-down estate in Holmlia on the outskirts of Oslo.

The friend told the Sunday Mirror of Omer’s reaction to Jackson’s death.

“He looked so pale and thin, I have never seen him look so depressed,” he told her.

“Omer is usually the life and soul of the party, but he said he had never felt so down.

“He had told me that, although he hadn’t seen Michael for a while, he had been really looking forward to his concerts in England because he was going to go over and spend some time with him. He told me he had planned to go to all 50 shows.”

Omer’s friend also revealed that he has had a girlfriend called Feven for the last two years. Before that, he was with another girl for more than three years.

She said: “Omer told me that his girlfriend has been offering him a lot of support since Michael’s death, she has really been there for him and is helping him get through it.”

Omer’s mum Pia also confirmed how hard her son was taking the tragedy, saying: “He has been totally crushed by Michael’s death.”

Persistent rumours that Jackson had fathered Omer, following a one-night-stand with his mother in 1983, have been circulating since 2004. They appeared to have acquired new currency after the memorial service, which was beamed around the globe to an audience of millions.

And the rumours grew further still when the superstar’s brother Jermaine fuelled speculation by saying he would welcome Omer into the Jackson clan, if it were confirmed that he was Michael’s son.

There were even reports that Omer had been seeking a DNA test to try to prove he is Michael’s son.

But now Omer has spoken out categorically to deny reports in the latest chapter of the still-unravelling Jackson saga that has gripped the world.

I don´t think you can compare MJ to Janet or Kylie. Even though Janet is his sister and she did appear on TV, I am not sure if anyone actually cared till the Control album. I think she was able to lead a "seemingly normal" life. Not trying to excuse him, but MJ´s just a league of his own.

Kylie has been on tv in Oz since she was 7, she's been an international icon since she was 17. Michael didn't really reach the height of his fame til he was in his ,late teens early 20s. the jacksons were no different from the osmans. it wasn't until Off the Wall and Thriller that Michael really became the star we know today.


are you serious? i dont know where you from but here in america they use to call the jackson 5 'the black beatles',they were huge and michael was the biggest. the jackson five had magazines started in their honor (righton), you do realize they are the 1st group to have their first 4 singles hit #1? the osmonds was a variety act they wasnt on the jackson 5 level. you say kylie was a international icon since she was 7? im over 40 and heard about her for the first time when i joined this site.

I think it had to be filmed in 1983, for the simple fact that the jacket MJ is wearing in the commercial is the same one he wore during rehearsals for the Thriller video ..

But then again, looking at his hair in the Pepsi Street commercial gives me a 1984 Victory Tour tease .. Hmmm
