Nah he had dogs growing up but he grew to be afraid of them.

With his enormous talent, Michael kept giving us power, inspiration and joy.
Yet he knew that the world was not kind to him for many reasons,
some of it going right back to racism.

That must have been so hard for him.
His various attempts to be loved by the world equaled the pain he received from it.

Michael, now you are free from all that.
Rest well in Peace.
We will always remember you and love you for what you were to us.

With love,
Yoko Ono Lennon
June, 2009.

That was lovely and she used my absolute favorite picture of Michael!

I never cared what people said about Yoko! I could see that John LOVED her and he loved her for a reason! That was always good enough for me!

According to a LA strip club owner who appeared on Geraldo's show tonight, Murray was seen hanging out at the strip club and drunk as a sailor hitting on girls during Michael's rehearsal schedule.

omer with his dad

Yes, I'm convinced that Blanket is MJ's biologically. I heard that the doctor who delivered him confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that he was but no other media sources have picked up on it. I think the media is determined to deny the possibility of him having biological kids. But Blanket looks just like him!

Michael wasn't being paranoid because of drugs. I'm not saying he never used drugs, nor am I in denial that he abused them. But, there was a MUCH deeper issue a LOT of people didn't know about. Michael had Sony documents that they were going to take him down, one way or the other. He also found out that Dieter Weisner (last name sp??) was hired by Sony to take the rights to Michael's name AND his right to attorney. Dieter was one of Michael's bodyguards. He was the white guy with white hair a few years back for those of you who are big fans. Anyway, Dieter asked Michael for the rights to MJ's name and got them. I don't know what the HECK he said to Michael to make Michael agree to that, but to this day, Dieter owns the name "Michael Jackson." So his image and his name on shirts, etc...Dieter owns that, not Mike. Sad. Then, Dieter started asking Michael for his right of attorney, which means if anything ever happened to Michael (death, jail time), Dieter would take of the control of his assets--including the Sony/ATV catalog. Michael said no (THANK GOD), and started to get suspicious, so he investigated Dieter. That's when they found a paper trail of evidence, and Dieter was fired. That's when Michael started to get paranoid. Apparently, Sony wanted to kill Michael, but there was a paper trail of evidence, and they knew they couldn't get away with it. And, supposedly, the mother and kids (last accusers) and maybe the DA got paid BEFORE the trial...BY SONY. The plan was to lock him behind bars so that they could take over his assets. There was a clause in his contract that says something like--if Michael's image deteriorates so much that he shouldn't be in control, they would regain possession of his half of the catalog. Sounds crazy, I know. But I asked a member of the Jackson family (who shared this with me during the trial)--why would they KILL him?? And the person said--Look, people kill people every day for hardly any money at all...for just a thousand dollars. Do you realize that in (I forgot how many) years, that catalog will be worth BILLIONS of dollars?? Do you know what people would do for BILLIONS of dollars?? And...he had a point. There is MUCH more to the Sony saga than we know, but it's TRUE. Michael had evidence. THAT is why Michael was paranoid about eating or drinking. He knew the trial was started by Sony. And, he had already had one person around him that couldn't be trusted. (Now, it's VERY apparent he had LOTS of people around him with ill intentions.) How could he trust people, besides those few that have been with him from the start?

I remember a day Michael stopped to talk to us in his car in front of the gates to go into Neverland. He rolled down the window and IMMEDIATELY started yelling to us--"IT'S A CONSPIRACY, IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!" He was sooooo....distraught. It shocked us. We just stood there stunned for a few seconds and said--"Michael...we know." We thought he was trying to tell us he was innocent and being set up. We were like--DUH. Why do you think we are out here?? lol But, now knowing what I know...he wasn't just talking about being innocent. He was talking about SONY. And, if you look back at pictures from the trial, there were a few fans that had posters with things about Sony. One of them said "F*CK SONY." They knew...

Things aren't always what they seem, guys.

I thought the same thing when I first heard those recordings. I know Michael's voice very well too, especially how he pronounced words, and his habit of leaving certain words that should be pluralized in their singular forms, lol. The person talking to Glenda does not sound like him to me either.

And you're right about the dogs. He's said that he didn't like them, 'cause "they bite." Also, the stories told about Joe's affairs, and the girl MJ tried to persuade to not have sex with Jackie came straight out of Taraborrelli's book, that was released 2 years earlier.
