I have some heavy updates on Michael's death.
- Let's start with this report by The Sun in the UK spreading like wildfire online. The Sun claimed to have the results of Mike's autopsy, which turns out to be completely false. So if you read about it, its totally untrue.
- The London 02 Arena concerts that Michael was suppose to do is now going to be one tribute show. It's said that stars and celebrities such as Madonna and Justin Timberlake are going to perform and honor the King of Pop. The photos below were taken the day before Michael's death when he did a final rehearsal at the Staples Center for his London O2 shows.
Kevin Mazur, the photographer who took these photos of the final rehearsal was amazed by Michael's abilities.
“I am devastated by the sudden loss of ‘The King of Pop,’ who I have photographed numerous times since the Victory Tour in the ’80s. When he hit the stage at rehearsal, I was thrilled that the magical Michael Jackson was BACK!!! I felt the same adrenaline rush as when I photographed him the first time moonwalking. I was so looking forward to shooting the O2 Arena performances with the amazing production that Kenny Ortega and AEG put together with Michael for his fans.”
Michael even changed his hair back to the original wavy curls to set the tone for his show. He looks fab and healthy. Not sick at all!!! =(
- MJJcommunity.com President Gary Taylor, the world's largest Michael Jackson fan site says that 12 people have already committed suicide after hearing of his death.
"It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live."
Jesse Jackson, a friend of Mike's, even recorded a YouTube video addressing the issue, "This is a time when hearts are heavy. There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michael's life. It made Michael happy saying 'We Are The World'. Don't self destruct.We fall down sometimes, we get back up. That's the right thing to do. In Michael's name let's live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools."
I'm speechless... if that doesn't show you what kind of impact MJ had on the lives of people worldwide then I don't know what will. Perhaps his funeral will . . . but I don't know what else to say. . .
- Michael's mom Katherine was granted temporary custody of his 3 children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.
Perhaps the most disturbing of the children's situation is the documents that are saying Michael is not their biological father and neither is Debbie Rowe who gave birth to the 2 of the children years ago! You guys remember that controversy. But how is that possible??
TMZ is reporting that multiple sources deeply connected to the births says Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate and was paid well for her services in the births of Prince Michael I. and Paris.
In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), the surrogate was never told of the identity of the receiving parent — Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Michael's lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael. It isn't certain if Michael chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were.
My lawddddddd. The skeletons are all coming out now. . .
Aside from that drama, there's issues now going on with the Jackson family's legal advisor Londell McMillan. McMillan is saying that Michael does not have a will.
Contrary to belief, Michael does in fact have a will and his old lawyer John Branca whom he re-hired just three weeks ago has it. According to The Wall Street Journal, Michael signed a will in 2002, leaving his estate, estimated at $1 billion to his mother Katherine, his 3 children and one or more charities.
His father Joe was left out of it. I wonder why???? *sarcasm
Branca plans to file the will with the court within 30 days of MJ's death.
- It's being reported that Michael never legally or formally adopted his 3 children.
- Michael’s live-in doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, has said he will not attend the funeral out of respect. During a press conference yesterday, Al Sharpton nd Joe Jackson announced that the funeral will be public and will not be at Neverland Ranch.
- Michael's radio airplay has jumped to a ridiculous 27 million spins since his death last Thursday.
If you think that's crazy, he's also at the top of the Billboard charts when figures are released tomorrow.
According to preliminary reports issued by Billboard magazine, three of Michael's albums (Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson, Thriller) moved over 100,000 units before Sunday night.
While his sales jump will not be reflected on the Billboard 200 albums chart, due to the albums being ineligible as catalog entries, Billboard says it will dominate the catalog and overall sales charts.
Albums Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous and The Ultimate Collection have also sold well at retail and through digital retailers such as Amazon.com. Michael's digital sales soared to nearly 1.8 million last week.
The exact figures will be given tomorrow.
The KING of pop? Do you dare disagree??
