"I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years.
Of all the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most outstanding.

Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will never be matched.
He was truly one-of-a-kind." - Dick Clark

WOW, now we´ve got another father for Mike´s kids.

I wonder how many fathers can a child have? All those idiots claiming to be the real fathers should only do so after they have a DNA test in hand to prove it. This way there´s gonna be only another media circus, millions of speculation and no truth. Sorry, I forgot. That´s why they are doing it and it shows nothing but their total disrespect to Mike and his children and speaks volumes about their character.

Let´s post some beautiful pictures instead of this crazyness.

JACKO NY DOC INSURE PROBE
HEALTH EXAM 'FRAUD'
The Manhattan ear, nose and throat doctor who declared Michael Jackson healthy enough to go on a grueling concert tour has been thrust into an investigation of possible insurance fraud, The Post has learned.

Dr. David Slavit, a Park Avenue voice specialist with privileges at Lenox Hill Hospital, gave Jacko a four-hour exam last February for concert insurer Lloyd's of London.

According to Slavit, Jackson was fit to perform, but needed medical monitoring.

"He passed with flying colors," said a source familiar with a subsequent insurance policy.

LA detectives looking into Jackson's death previously issued a search warrant for any communication between Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray, who administered IV injections of an anesthetic to Jackson the day he died, and Slavit and other health professionals.

Sources said Lloyd's contacted cops, who now want to learn whether the insurer was misled into issuing a $17.5 million policy covering non-appearances by the pop star in the event of an "accidental death."

The policy, issued in the name "Mark Jones" to protect Jackson's privacy, did not cover illegal drug use, the LA Times reported.

The Jackson family estate is entitled to "100 percent of the proceeds" of any insurance payout, under a business partnership with concert producer AEG Live, a source close to the deal told The Post.

With millions of dollars at stake, Slavit has been pulled into the investigation. He did not return calls for comment.

A source close to AEG said the company did not get a copy of Slavit's medical report on Jackson, but insisted the exam was thorough and included "blood work."

But a Jackson relative said the family is furious that Slavit gave Jackson a clean bill of health, and wants to sue him and other doctors.

"Slavit will pay just like . . . the rest -- AEG too," fumed a family member. "[Jackson] wasn't physically able to do 50 shows. Period."

Slavit, 48, who has examined other ailing singers for insurance companies, treats opera stars from the Met and classical vocalists.

"There's nobody I would trust more with my voice," said Grammy-nominated mezzo soprano Margaret Lattimore. "He's a fabulous doctor. Very discreet, incredibly professional, and the gentlest, sweetest man you can imagine."

But Slavit wasn't beloved by a plastic surgeon, Dr. Howard Bellin, who rented office space in his Upper East Side townhouse to the vocal doctor. Bellin said Slavit moved out one weekend in 1999, leaving $41,000 of the lease unpaid and $12,000 in damage.

"I found him to be completely dishonest or I wouldn't have had to sue him to get the money he owed me. I eventually got it," Bellin said. Court records show a settlement.

Slavit's father, lawyer Leonard Slavit, represented his son in the suit. The doctor's brother, Ira Slavit, who practices with their dad, would not comment.

Jackson continues chart domination in Europe

(Saturday August 08, 2009 12:26 AM)

Michael Jackson continues to dominate the charts from beyond the grave - his compilation album The Collection is Europe's new number one.

Sales of Jackson's extensive back catalogue have soared since his death on 25 June, with his pop hits topping charts in the US and UK.

And Europe is no different - a further four compilation discs feature in the new top 10 albums countdown: King of Pop is at number two; The Essential at number four; Number Ones at seven, and The Motown Years at 10.

The superstar's classic Thriller album is also a big seller at number nine.

Meanwhile, rapper Pitbull is dancing away at the top of the European singles chart - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) remains in pole position for a third consecutive week.

The Black Eyed Peas score a double whammy with I Gotta Feeling at two and Boom Boom Pow at four, while DJ David Guetta and Kelly Rowland's hit When Love Takes Over slips from two to three.

Cascada's Evacuate the Dancefloor rounds out the top five.

Watching this footage, don´t Mike´s moves beginning at 0: 28 remind you of Prince when singing U Want Me at that Las Vegas DVD?

The Fish that was Thirsty


One night a baby fish was sleeping under some coral when God appeared to him in a dream. "I want you to go forth with a message to all the fish in the sea," God said.
"What should I tell them?" the little fish asked.

"Just tell them you're thirsty," God replied. "And see what they do." Then without another word, He disappeared.

The next morning the little fish woke up and remembered his dream. "What a strange thing God wants me to do," he thought to himself. But as soon as he saw a large tuna swimming by, the little fish piped up, "Excuse me, but I'm thirsty."

"Then you must be a fool," then tuna said. And with a disdainful flick of his tail, he swam away.

The little fish did feel rather foolish, but he had his orders. The next fish he saw was a grinning shark. Keeping a safe distance, the little fish called out, "Excuse me, sir, but I'm thirsty."

"Then you must be crazy," the shark replied. Noticing a rather hungry look in the shark's eye, the little fish swam away quickly.

All day he met cod and mackerels and swordfish and groupers, but every time he made his short speech, they turned their backs and would have nothing to do with him. Feeling hopelessly confused, the little fish sought out the wisest creature in the sea, who happened to be an old blue whale with three harpoon scars on his side.

"Excuse me, but I'm thirsty!" the little fish shouted, wondering if the old whale could even see him, he was such a tiny speck. But the wise one stopped in his tracks. "You've seen God, haven't you?" he said.

"How did you know?"

"Because I was thirsty once, too." The old whale laughed.

The little fish looked very surprised. "Please tell me what this message from God means," he implored.

"It means that we are looking for Him in the wrong places," the old whale explained. "We look high and low for God, but somehow He's not there. So we blame Him and tell ourselves that He must have forgotten us. Or else we decide that He left a long time ago, if He was ever around."

"How strange," the little fish said, "to miss what is everywhere."

"Very strange," the old whale agreed. "Doesn't it remind you of fish who say they're thirsty?"
