MORE OF THE MICHAEL JACKSON STORY UNFOLDS

You know the week can't start out right without discussing the latest details in the Michael Jackson case.


Michael's death could very well turn into a criminal investigation according to LA Police Chief William Bratton.


Bratton told CNN that his department is awaiting the coroner's final report to decide whether to proceed with the investigation as a homicide case or as an accidental drug overdose.

• Dr. Conrad Murray and Dr. Arnold Klein have not been cooperating with authorities police say. The two were asked to hand over all of their documents and files to investigators but both failed to give up all their information.
  

As previously stated, Jackson had dozens of injection marks and punctures all over his body the day he died. Law enforcement sources say that some of the injections were old and some were fresh. They were found on his upper arms, upper legs, ankles, inside around his knees and the neck.

• A doctor who treated Michael claimed the singer self-injected Demerol into his system.

• Retired L.A. County Sheriff's deputy Michael Laperruque who worked as Jackson's security said some doctors were trying to get Jackson off of Demerol, and that one of the doctor's in Santa Barbara "was upset with him because he had been self-injecting."
  
  Laperruque told detectives he had picked up Jackson's prescriptions for the singer, usually under the name Chris Carter. Carter was one of Jackson's bodyguards.
  
  Laperruque also told detectives one time when he was at Neverland his job was to keep Jackson's family out because they were planning an intervention.

• Most of the prescriptions for Michael were under different aliases & his security and whoever was around would be the ones to go pick them up.

His three children, originally scheduled for a hearing this morning, has been postponed for a week. The move was requested by both Katherine Jackson, who was awarded temporary guardianship, and Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of Prince Michael and Paris Jackson.

And lastly, during the 2003search of Neverland Ranch, investigators found this in his home:

• A vial of Versed -- a powerful sedative
• Several IV bags containing "a milky white fluid, located in a small cardboard box on top of the bathtub." Propofol and other anesthesias are milky white.
  
• A vial of Promethazine -- an antihistamine with strong sedative effects
• A generic for of Xanax
  
• A bottle of Percocet
• A syringe
• A vial with Demerol in it
• Numerous loose pills outside bottles
• A bottle of Prednisone -- a steroid
• Ery-tab -- an antibiotic
• Prescriptions for Xanax that had been filled
• Oxygen tanks
• IV stands

This is all just too much. . . so freakin tragic!!! I'm just picturing Michael rolling around the IV stands filled with anesthics or him just laying in bed with an IV connected to his body. . . so so so sad! =*(

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL TOMORROW & HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON. . . LITERALLY???

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th pf July. I know I certainly did! Great times.



Moving on to the good stuff!! Lots of things happened over the course of the holiday weekend and I'm going to try my best to post all the ones that I feel are the most blog worthy!



Starting with the one & only Michael Jackson. Michael's public memorial is going to be held tomorrow at the Staples Center and it will surely be one set for the record books!

• The service is going to be broadcasted on all major TV networks and is expected to draw in close to a million fans to the center. The LAPD and other officials will be trying their very best to contain the crowds just in case it gets out of hand. However, some officers believe that the capacity crowd expected will out number their entire force! Let's see how this turns out tomorrow and see how many people will show up when over 500 million hits were made on the Staples Center website after the news broke that the memorial would be held at the location. You be the judge of how many will gather to see the King of Pop.

Ron Boyd (family friend), Kobe Bryant, Mariah Carey, Andrae Crouch Choir; Barry Gordy, Jennifer Hudson, Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on Britain’s Got Talent), Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Bernice A. King, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Brooke Shields, Pastor Lucious Smith (family friend), Usher and Stevie Wonder are all participants in the service tomorrow.

• On the investigation side, police are looking to question 5 doctors who may have prescribed or given Michael the drugs without authorization and a judge recently gave the okay for 3 search warrants on three different doctors; the reason still being unclear.
  Dr. Conrad Murray, who everyone believed to be responsible for the singer's death and the same person that denied he ever injected MJ with Diprivan (an anesthic medicine that was found all over Michael's home), is not authorized to prescribe or to administer any medicines; he is only liscensed in Nevada not in California.

People are saying that foul-play is not entirely ruled out after receiving the results of the 2nd autopsy. But of course, nothing can be certain until the toxicology reports come back.



Lastly, an unbelievable footage of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch has hit all over the internet! It's a recent video clip during CNN Larry King's interview with Jermaine Jackson in which Larry's cameras was given access to video tape inside Michael's Neverland home.


I won't say anymore but just take a look. The footage has not been altered! This is the original footage , as it was seen and broadcasted live on CNN. Many people have commented on the video saying that they too in fact saw the unusual "thing" while watching it on TV.




It's a little eery yet surprisingly calming to me. I believe in the spirit world so I'm going to say that it can very well be Michael's spirit.,. Neverland is his home and creation, but then again it can be a shadow of somebody else walking into the next room as some have said it was to be... right???

DETAILS OF MICHAEL'S WILL

So MJ's will was filed in court today and the details have been leaked:

• His mother Katherine will be the legal guardian of his 3 children; should his mother pass, then Diana Ross will become their legal guardian
• He is worth more than $500,000,000. All of the estate consists of non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalog of music royalty rights (includes The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Niel Diamond, Lady Gaga, The Jonas Brothers ) which is currently being administered by Sony/ATV, and interests in various entities.
• The Michael Jackson Family Trust (his 3 children and Katherine) will receive all of his estate
• Some will be distributed to charities
  
• Six relatives, which include Tito's three sons, are listed as contingent remainder beneficiaries. Meaning, they'd only share the estate if Michael's children or Katherine passed away before Michael did.

UPDATE:


The Jackson family put out a statement saying the public viewing of Michael will not be held at Neverland Ranch and that memorial services and public viewing details will be given shortly.


It's rumored that the public viewing would be held at the Los Angeles Staples Center but that's not yet confirmed.


According to E! News, Michael's body is currently being held at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuaries in the Hollywood Hills, where he's expected to be buried.

I feel bad for all those people who bought hotel rooms all near and around Neverland Ranch! I read that some hotels sold out completely in 20 minutes!

KIM DATED ONE OF MICHAEL'S NEPHEWS

Kim Kardashian has been down with the jungle fever for a minute now!



In light of Michael's death, she brought to everyone's attention that she was close with the Jackson clan:

You guys may or may not know that I have grown up with the Jackson family since I was 13. I went to school with, and dated one of Michael’s nephews. This family is very near and dear to my heart and it breaks my heart to see people I love go through so much pain. The world has truly lost the greatest entertainer of all time. I want to say how incredibly saddened I am by Michael’s death. Music will never be the same.

I had my 14th birthday party at Neverland Ranch! I even helped throw Nicole Richie’s 13th birthday party there for her! It’s truly the most exciting place I have ever been in my entire life and those memories will live on forever in my heart. RIP MJ. "

I gotta admit, she does have strong ties with some important people. Despite her business endeavors, it's really too bad she made that sex tape and posed for Playboy. She could have been really well respected in the industry!
