Michael's Crystal-studded Boots Sold At Event Hosted By Janet September 29 The biggest event at Fashion Week in Milan wasn't the debut of a new line or the arrival of the next great designer. Rather, it was a star-studded auction hosted by Janet Jackson for the benefit of the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). All told, the auction raised a total of $1.1 million for the charity, which is an organization that funds scientific inquiry and research in to HIV and AIDS. The first highlight of the event — which cost anywhere from $2,200 to $11,500 just to get in the door — was the sale of a pair of Swarovski crystal-studded boots that were owned by the late Michael Jackson. Janet's brother had planned on wearing the footwear on stage at London's O2 Arena during his planned residency there, and they fetched a total of $14,650. Janet Jackson has been in Milan for a week working at a number of events for amfAR. But she hasn't forgotten about her day job, as her new single "Make Me" is now for sale via download. Meanwhile, sales are already through the roof for "Michael Jackson's This Is It," the film culled from the hours of footage recorded during rehearsals for Michael's O2 residency. That film comes out on October 28 for two weeks only — and tickets are clearly going fast. | |

Copycat said: I'm so over the "let's blame Joe for Michael's shattered self-image and everything else we can think of " game.
[Edited 9/29/09 15:45pm] Well, I have a very valid answer for you: read what Joe Jackson did to Michael. Read every description of physical and emotional torture. I'm in the 3rd grade of the Medicine degree. I hope I'll become a pedopsychiatrist. While I'm not one yet, I can say that your childhood and your parents severily affect or mold your personality and self-esteem for the rest of your life. Being abused since the age of 3, entering the mad world of showbizz at 4, not being able to play or be a kid, not receive love or any kind of affection from anyone, assisting some of the most horrible scenes a human being can tolerate (like seeing your father fucking two women at the same time...Michael saw it), having your father kiss and hug your half-sister and letting her call him "daddy" but refusing to show you affection (and demanding that you treat him by his first name) and much much much more (read everything Joe did) can traumatize a man. I've been with several abused kids since my uncle works as a pedopsychiatrist and I can assure you that. It's pretty easy to say "get over it". But it's not so easy to get over it.

uPtoWnNY said: MOL said: In 2008, Raymone Bay said that Michael always talked about African american culture with his kids. He was proud of being black. He gave lessons to his kids on african american culture.
I don't think he didn't want to be black as some are saying. He mentioned in one interview, back in the early 80's, that black women were his favourites. Besides, he was the blackest man on Earth; his people would tell him to stop saying that he slept with children, but he insisted in saying he slept with children and was proud of it. Brotha was black. [Edited 9/29/09 14:50pm] [Edited 9/29/09 14:51pm] Then why hire white folks to have your kids? for the last fuckin time those kids ARE NOT WHITE. STOP STEREOTYPING. THEY ARE BIRACIAL. Biracial/black people do not have a certain look. You should know this. | |

uPtoWnNY said: Copycat said: For some, it was more comfortable to remember the "old Mike," or "black Mike" — the one with the Afro, wide nose and plump cheeks, before he morphed into something resembling a gaunt white woman.
That's the Michael I choose to remember, the handsome, talented brotha before he freaked out. move on uptowny. | |

MOL said: Jewish Telegraph- rabbi Shmuley Boteach (TO ANYONE WHO SAYS HE TRASHES MICHAEL)
September 22, 2000 - In my second year as rabbi at Oxford, a chassidic couple came to stay with my family for the festival of Succot. Following dinner with several students, a young woman looked quizzically at the couple’s 10 children surrounding their mother. “Are all these yours?” she asked. The mother assured her yes, to which the student responded: “Don’t you think that that’s a bit much?” The mother’s eyes reddened, and she excused herself. I followed her into the kitchen and apologised for my students’ remarks. “That’s ok,” she said. “I get it all the time. But my Rebbe told me never to be embarrassed for having many children.” I was reminded of this story last week when my family and I spent a week on Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in California. I know that everyone hates a name-dropper, but bear with me just this once. For what I witnessed in those six days with Michael was an extraordinary human being, utterly misunderstood and misrepresented, with a limitless compassion for children. This article was published by rabbi Shmuley Boteach in 2000. [Edited 9/29/09 13:38pm] and yet now, only 9 years later, he's on t.v. intimating that mj was a pedophile. honestly, how can you overlook that? who gives a shit what said then. HE TRASHES MJ NOW and is trying to make money doing it. | |

If you were to buy a book about Michael's music...say, like a guide to his catalog, what would you want included that would make you want to buy it? "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

are you thinking about writing a book? if it's michael talking about his passion for music and what inspires him to create i'd buy it. also a deep look into each of his released song and the stories behind them would be nice. i like hearing how things went from an idea in his head to a fully produced song on his album "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

MOL said: uPtoWnNY said: Then why hire white folks to have your kids? I think Michael wanted children sooo badly and was soo desperate that he didn't care about their colour. Dr. Klein, who implied that he was the father of the kids, helped MJ. Mj trusted the first person to make an offer without caring about the skin colour. We all know, MJ was very displicent, he could never care less about things that were going on in his life and he was so soo obsessed with having children that he didn't turn any offer down. Debbie Rowe, who offered to have his babies, has an lasting and strong friendship with Arnold Klein. Therefore, she probably told MJ that she already had "a plan" to have kids. Rowe, who had a crush on Michael, wanted to marry him but had to "make a deal" first (in order to persuade him to marry her fat ass). Having kids without bugging Michael was the deal, obviously. Blanket's mother is black or mullata. [Edited 9/29/09 15:06pm] [Edited 9/29/09 15:07pm] i'm lmao at people still thinking klein is the father.  if you don't think michael is the father and want to play guess the baby daddy then at least pick a decent looking guy, don't insult the poor kids and try to put them off on some hideous pink mutant. | |

ViintageJunkiie said: cdcgold said: what do you mean case closed. just cause it can be done doesnt mean it was. if anything michael probably had his lips made bigger, not thinner. if you look his lips were actually bigger after the surgeries than before. No shade, but im over it. People are gonna believe what they want, just like they believe Michael when he said he only had 2 surgeries on his nose when we all know it was more than that. I'm not here to bash Michael. He was and is the King Of Pop and quite possibly the greatest entertainer of all time and also my biggest inspiration. Professional doctors studied Michaels face and even said that he's has more than 2 nose jobs and a cleft added in his chin. My intentions are never to try and belittle Michael as a person, I just point out the things that we all know, but just afraid to admit. We all know Michael had issues with his face, but just because I mention a facial surgery doesnt make me any less of a fan. show me one picture of post 1980 mj with thinner lips and i can show you one on 18 year old mj with lips the same size. he did not thin his lips, it's just your racial stereotypes , like i said if anything he may have gotten collagen injections to make them bigger | |

My plan is to make a detailed guide about Michael's entire catalog from Big Boy to This Is It along with his videography with info about the albums and videos, stories and comments from people who worked with him along with info about unreleased songs and projects and bootleg recordings "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
