Printablemusicjunky318 said: Michael Jackson - Dr. Murray Set to be Charged
Posted Jan 29th 2010 3:30AM by TMZ Staff The D.A. is ready to charge Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson ...multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ. Our sources tell TMZ members of the D.A.'s office -- including Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley -- have already met about filing a criminal case against Dr. Murray. Members of the LAPD still have not met with the D.A. to present the case, however, our sources say the deputy D.A. assigned to the case -- David Walgren -- has worked closely with LAPD detectives on the case, is intimately familiar with the investigation, has all the LAPD investigative notes and has already briefed Cooley and others in the office. We're told Dr. Murray could be charged with involuntary manslaughter as early as next week. It´s about damn time. I hope it´s true. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I agree. My money goes on them sitting in the audience but I doubt they will have them accept the award. That is Jermaine's "job" now remember?  MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Co-Sign..it really pisses me off that this guy is still a free man. Sure he may not have murdered him with like a gun or knife, but he still played a big role in all this and deserves to be punished. MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Funny comment...
I keep thinking about MJ's line in Moonwalker. "Bubbles is wearing a Prince t-shirt?" I wonder if MJ would be rolling in his grave knowing some of his most loyal fans are discussing him so much on a Prince forum. Come to think of it, maybe it would make him smile. MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Well, I hope that if they come they do actually make a speech because what´s the point of them sitting in the audience? I think they´ll either come and speak or won´t come at all.

Michael Jackson's children to take stage at awards Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Michael Jackson's two eldest children are scheduled to take the stage this weekend to accept the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their father, Jackson family sources said. It would be the first public appearance for Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, since their dramatic appearance at the memorial service 12 days after their father's death. "The whole world is waiting to see these children blossom," said Brian Oxman, a lawyer for Joe Jackson. Two sources close to the family said the youngest, 7-year-old Blanket, was not expected to appear, although they suggested that might change. Contrary to some media reports, the sources said there was no plan for the children to sing or dance at the show. The Recording Academy, which presents the Grammy Awards, will honor the late pop star with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Special Merit Awards ceremony Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Video of the presentation is likely to be included in Sunday night's musical tribute to Jackson during the Grammy telecast, the sources said. While Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, is expected to attend, Joe Jackson, his father, decided not to go because of his anger over the behind-the-scenes talks that led to the agreement to have the children accept the award, family sources said. The decision came just this week, after Katherine Jackson, the legal guardian of the children, complained to Grammy producers that no family members had been invited, the Jackson sources said. Two sources in the family said that she was initially told by producers that the estate's special administrators would decide who would take part in the Jackson tribute. "Can you believe this crap?" one source quoted Joe Jackson as saying when he heard that. The Grammy producers have not responded to a CNN request for comment. A spokesman for the estate administrators said the matter was for Grammy producers to decide. "Why is a stranger making family decisions?" asked Oxman, the lawyer who is representing Michael Jackson's father in a legal battle with the administrators. Oxman said those administrators have disconnected the Jackson family from any decisions involving Michael Jackson's legacy. Oxman was in a Los Angeles court Thursday where a judge set May 26 as the date he will hear testimony in Joe Jackson's request for a monthly allowance from his son's estate. Joe Jackson, 80, said he depended on his son's financial support for years before his death. The administrators, lawyer John Branca and former music executive John McClain, contend he has not shown how he was "actually dependent" on Michael Jackson. The estate lawyers said the expenses Joe Jackson wants covered by the estate -- including vacations, air travel, assistants and legal fees -- are not reasonable. They also noted that while Jackson's mother and three children were named as beneficiaries in his will written in July 2002, Joe Jackson was not. Joe Jackson is challenging the validity of that will, which names Branca and McClain as executors, but so far the court has refused to hear his arguments. The judge overseeing probate of the will already awarded $60,000 in monthly support for the three children and $26,000 a month for Katherine Jackson, starting from June 25, 2009, the day Michael Jackson died. CNN has learned that Katherine Jackson has not received any of the money ordered for her because of a judgment in a lawsuit nearly two decades ago. A South Korean newspaper, the Segye Times, sued Michael Jackson in 1990, claiming he failed to perform at a series of concerts they had already paid him for. The lawsuit also named Katherine Jackson, Joe Jackson and another one of their sons, Jermaine Jackson. Michael Jackson's lawyers reached an out-of-court settlement with the newspaper, but his parents and brother did not. When they failed to fight it in court, a California judge issued a $4 million summary judgment against them, which has now grown with interest to about $8 million, according to court papers. I really don´t know what to think of this. I won´t deny that I would love to see the kids, on the other hand, I know that Mike would be turning in his grave knowing how his kids are being exposed now. I would be very surprised if Katherine aproved of them appearing and they really showed up. Michaels children are now becoming young teenagers. This is their father, and they deserve his merits. And, he deserves their adulation. I have seen other brothers accept for Michael, and it is always we did blah, blah,blah.. But you see Michael's success was done on hard work, and inovation on his part, not theirs. I wish them all the best.. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

I agree completely with sag10, about Michael's kids deserving
his merits and him deserving their adulation. Could not have said it better. When I think about it..its like...Truthfully, I'm closer with my pet dog then I am certain members of my extended family. If I was in Michael's shoes I'd rather have my dog accept an award on my behalf then them, but it seems certain people in Michael's family really like to trade on Michael's legacy for some commercial airtime. I'm so looking forward to Michael's kids growing older - that way these types of choices (to show up, not to show up, to speak, not to speak, etc) can be made by them directly. P.S. Need I remind anyone of this??  [Edited 1/29/10 11:01am] MJ Fan 1992-Forever

I think if anyone is supposed to accept his awards, it´s them. I just know that Mike tried all his life to protect them from the public and he probably knew better than we why, that is why it bothers me. Otherwise, I´d love to see them, of course, and I hate to watch Jermaine and others to accept awards on Mike´s behalf. I think what I am probably really most angry about is that Mike deserved all these tributes and awards when he was alive.

Well in all honesty, Mike DID get plenty of accolades and awards while he was alive! The Guinness Book of Records lists Michael as being the entertainer or the pop star with the most awards ever! In the last few years MJ was treated like utter crap by many, but the man definitely received plenty of awards and accolades when he was alive. He knew he was a big deal.
As for the kids accepting on MJ's behalf, I don't see a problem with it. They are almost teenagers and they have a mind of their own. I know for sure that Paris and Prince are nice kids, but outspoken and would not be doing this if they didn't want to. Bottom line is that MJ is their Father and they have every right to accept on his behalf if that's what they want to do. They'll be fine. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

He did get a lot of awards, I know, and not that I would feel that he would need more awards. It´s just that he was treated like a crap, as you say, and it´s sad to see how all of sudden, they are all celebrating him when he is not here to see it. I think he did know that he was a big deal, but I just wish people wouldn´t make his life so hard in the last couple of years. But it´s been discussed already.

Joe Jackson To Challenge MJ's Will Over Allowance 
January 29, 2010 A judge has scheduled a hearing to decide if Michael Jackson's father should receive a monthly allowance of more than $15,000 from the late King of Pop's estate. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said he would hold an evidentiary hearing on May 26 regarding Joe Jackson's petition. Michael Jackson had an often-strained relationship with his father and he omitted Joe Jackson from his will and trust, which benefits the singer's mother, three children and various charities. http://www.google.com/hos...c-yUf6wjOA | |

The Opus is a huge book. Where are the people that bought it putting it? Is it going on a coffee table? Is it going on the book-shelf? And lastly, does it still include the glove? MJ Fan 1992-Forever

That picture mimi07 posted is very upsetting.
You can really see how bad his skin is. It was clearly reacting to something - lupus or vitilgo medication maybe? I guess it wasn't long after this that he had the treatment that affected his pigmentation. Pictures from that year are interesting because they're like the missing link between how he looked on the "Thriller" cover and music videos and how he looked on the "Bad" cover and videos. Anyone got other photos from around the same time as that one? |
