November 6

R. Kelly pays tribute to the late Michael Jackson by writing a song in his memory. This video montage was played during Kelly's "Ladies Make Some Noise" tour stop in Los Angeles, Nov 5th.


“Don’t say goodbye to me, there is no need to/ Don’t say goodbye to me, ’cause I’m still with you,” he sings. The video montage ends with a photo of Jackson as an angel next to his daughter Paris. “I’m smiling down on you my dear/ Remember daddy’s still here.”

In the U.S.! He returned in December 2006! He was in Ireland at the end of 2006!

Wait, so he went to Bahrain in 05, then came back to the US in Dec 06 for James Brown's funeral and stayed in the US? Where did he stay? Vegas? When did he leave for Ireland and how long did he stay there?

lol I sound stalkerish but I never knew where he was in this time so I'm intrigued now

purplesweat said:

Yeah

He left at the end of the trial, then went to Ireland in the beginning of 2006 when he made his first appearance in 2006 on Access Hollywood, then went to Japan for the MTV Japan VMAs and made a couple of special appearances out there that summer.....he then came back here in end of 2006

Thanks for all the pictures Mimi.

TMZ interview with Michael Jackson's closest friend Dr. Arnie Klein

Yeah,he seems like a really close friend to me. What a puke.

I wonder how many mouths Michael stuffs.

Katherine, Joe, Prince, Paris, Blanket...Randy, Claymaine, their children, their ex's for sure...Jackie, Marlon, & Tito? Don't know. Rebbie, no. Latoya, debatable. Janet, no.

I love Michael and many in the family but, if his net worth was 500 million as
as reported around 2002 and he donated 300 million to charity. Why is this family so broke? Many wealthy people set up family trust with money allocated to the members. This seems like very bad business on Michaels part. MJ should have been a billionaire with many businesses and real estate investments to keep the money following in all these years. He should have been able to employee some of his family members. I guess no one in the family really had any business "sense" needed to take this to the next level.

Randy sounds like he's always stealing stuff. So is this why he's running around acting like he's in charge now? He wants a piece of the action?

First, Randy wants to be a co-executor of the estate. Then he plans on removing Branca and McClain and be the sole executor. I think you know what would happen.

Wow, some little brother, huh.

Randy was Michael's manager during the trial. The guy signed three documents in Michael's name (despite the fact that Michael was against him signing them) that would liquidate the estate. This put Michael severily in debt. Randy also robbed 7 millions from Michael and confessed, on trial, that he would have received 20 millions from Sony had he successfully sold the ATV catalog. Remember that Randy and one of his associates wanted to force Michael to sign some document through which the ATV catalog would be sold. When he refused to do so, Randy's associate told Mike this: "You aren't down with the blacks anyome. You are down with the jews.". According to court documents, both Randy and his pal verbally attacked Michael. Randy admitted to have done so but testified against his brother claiming that "he [Randy] had very good intentions" despite the fact that the jury later found that, had Michael signed the document, Randy would have received millions and millions under the table and Michael would be left with almost nothing.
Joseph is known for getting in trouble almost every month. During the 80's, Don King and Joe messed up the Victory Tour so badly that Michael was sued 55 times. Joe would get in trouble acting as Michael's manager (when, in fact, he wasn't) and Michael would bail him out. According to many accounts, Michael paid all Joseph's debts and lawsuits. Remember the Korean shows? Michael ended up paying the company 25 millions because Joe messed up.
All the sibling received 7 millions from the Victory tour. One year later, some of them declared bankrupcy. It is also well known that none of the brothers has/had income over the years. They chose to live off of Michael. The brothers never paid child support, their kids' school, NOTHING. Michael paid them EVERYTHING you can imagine. Michael gave his family EVERYTHING. It is also not a secret that Mike's family members are very bad when it comes to finances and being businessmen. They have no ideia how to manage their own money, choosing to spend it all with mistresses and never even catered for their own children. Michael knew this. He knew his family sucks when it comes to handle money and have no business sense whatsoever.
Besides, we all know what Randy wants to do with the estate; liquidate the assets and re-will them. Furthermore, the Jacksons would kill for 1 dollar. If Michael had left them the estate, the assets would be sold and the money distributed by Katherine's children while MJ's kids would be left WITH NOTHING and the estate would be run to the ground.

That family defines greediness and, also dumbness. If they have no ideia on how to handle their own money, how would they run a billion dollar estate?

John McClain talking about the Jacksons: "I told them me and Branca would be reading them Michael's will the following day. So, the next day I went to their Encino home and, I swear, I had never seen so many Jacksons, in one room, in my life. The entire family was in that living room eager to know what was written in the will. When I read that Miss Jackson would have access to 40% of the estate, though I didn't say it was temporarily, they started clapping, applauding, hugging, smiling and cheering. The siblings [Jackie, Tito, Rebbie, Jermaine, Marlon, Randy, Janet] wanted Mrs. Jackson to inherit 40% of the estate because they know she would re-will it to them. Michael always said they weren't good businessmen. Whenever they did business with Michael, he ended up being sued by everybody. The Jacksons are not good with money and, to be fair, that family would put Michael in trouble whenever they were in charge"

Frank Dileo:" The Jacksons showed me and Michael, throughout the years,that they are horrible with money. Michael didn't want to be businness partners with them. He wanted them to be his family and nothing more. They would always mess up and Michael told me he had no doubt they would run the estate to the ground. And, uh, it is very well-documented that they aren't always honest."
