Due to a huge battle with insomnia, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson became highly dependent on the potent drug Propofol, which is used to induce unconsciousness in pre-op patients. It’s beginning to likely look like the drug may have caused his sudden death last week. The singer had dozens of injection sites on his body which leads to speculation that Michael found a doctor to prescribe him the drug and recklessly administer it at home. If it was Propofol that caused the singer’s cardiac arrest, the doctor responsible would most likely be brought up on charges for criminal manslaughter.
The real father of Michael Jackson’s children has been identified. The father of the late singer’s older two children is none other than the King of Pop’s Los Angeles based dermatologist and Debbie Rowe’s former boss, Arnold Klein. A source told Us Weekly “He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.” Debbie also claimed that she carried Michael’s children as a personal favor, saying “I said, ‘Let me do this. You need to be a dad. You have been so good to me.’” I wonder if he’s also the father of the youngest child, Prince Michael II.
Mariah Carey dressed up as a man when she shot her new ‘Obsessed’ music video outside New York City’s Plaza Hotel last Monday. In the video, the 39-year old singer dressed a lot like Eminem. There was a rumor that the song is actually a response to the rapper’s unflattering references to her and her hubby Nick Cannon from Eminem’s track ‘Bagpipes from Baghdad’. In Mariah’s song, she sings “Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy, I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me….You’re delusional/ Boy, you’re losing your mind.” Andy Samberg was originally cast to play the guy in the video but once he found out that it was presumably anti-Eminem, he backed out and Mariah filled in.
Joe and Katherine Jackson’s finances have been in a shambles for a decade.
They were paying rent to their most famous son, Michael, according to papers reported in an online exclusive.
The Jacksons, who filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on March 1, 1999, have only just come out of their complicated financial dealings.
Although Michael Jackson’s parents’ debts were legally discharged on June 13, 2000, adversarial motions from creditors followed until as late as May 22, 2008, according to court documents.
For the bankruptcy filing in 1999, the Jacksons had listed their assets in range of $100,000 to $500,000, but their massive debt in the range of $10 million to $50 million.
As a side note to the list of creditors that include their attorneys, the IRS and the State of California is the mention of a “month-to-month tenancy only” on their Encino house, with Michael listed as owner.
It is being said that though the King of Pop has left this world, fans may still get to enjoy unheard recordings from the late singer Michael Jackson. Reports are saying that Michael kept a secret library of over 100 songs that he planned to be released after his death, but only for his children. One of the singer’s biographers, Ian Halperin, author of ‘Unmasked, The Michael Jackson Story’, said before his death “He wants to leave them for his kids, a very personal legacy to them. I was told he will not let them come out now.” It may be Michael’s intention but with more reports saying that the music icon was in over $400 million in debt, the selling of the alleged secret collection would be insisted upon to cover it.
Acclaimed Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has urged the government of India to honour Michael Jackson posthumously – by issuing a postage stamp.
According to Zed, who is the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, entertainment icon Jacko had a special bond with India and Hinduism.
According to reports, Jackson was reading India’s first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s poems during the last days of his life.
When Oscar-winner and Indian musician A R Rahman of Slumdog Millionaire fame met Jackson after the Academy Awards ceremony a few months ago, in Los Angeles, the singer reportedly asked him to compose a unity anthem for his new album.
Rahman also collaborated with Jacko on a track, Ekam Satyam, in 1999, and the superstar was also working with Bollywood musician Adnan Sami, on an album before he died.
“Michael’s personal life might had been controversial, but he did provide joy to a large populace of the world through his music,” said Zed.
AEG, the promoters of Michael Jackson’s London shows, has promised a full refund for tickets to the late King of Pop’s concert dates. However, not everyone will be getting their money back as the promoters will only be providing refunds if you bought your tickets through an authorized dealer. In a statement, AEG promised “the refunds will be processed by each of the authorised ticket agencies (e.g. Ticketmaster, Viagogo, See or Ticketline).” The statement also said that fans “will have the option to be sent the actual tickets” for the show. That’s one very expensive keepsake if you ask me.
Michael Jackson’s pal David Gest has revealed he tried to warn the star against having so much plastic surgery.
David, 56, was a close friend of Michael’s and he said the star got “obsessed” with the idea of plastic surgery.
He said: “Michael and I had always felt insecure about the way we looked. Michael became obsessed with the idea of having plastic surgery. He would say to me: ‘Don’t you want to look better?’”
Like Michael, David also had a number of plastic surgery operations and he revealed he later regretted his surgery during the Eighties but Michael still wanted more.
He said: “I begged him not to have any more. I said: ‘Your nose is perfect.’ But the plastic surgeon we were using kept encouraging him to have more procedures.
“I believe he was just trying to keep the relationship going with Michael, but he wasn’t being honest with him. Even his family tried to say enough is enough.
“This guy made a fortune on my nose, Michael’s nose, Janet’s nose and LaToya’s nose. Tito and Jackie were smart, they left their noses alone.”
Michael Jackson has broken a record for fastest one-day sales with his Number Ones album just days after his sudden death.
The 50-year-old legend passed away on June 26 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.
However, it has now been reported that there has been an 80-fold increase in demand for the star’s Number Ones album and it has now shot from 121 to number one in the UK.
His single Man In The Mirror was at number 11 in the recent UK charts show and five of the King of Pop’s albums were in the top 20.
A spokesman for HMV said: “We’ve never seen anything like it. The demand for Michael Jackson hits has just been phenomenal – even more than when Elvis, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury died.
“It’s the greatest one-day sales for any artist’s album ever.”
Mexican pop superstar Paulina Rubio’s Miami home was broken into recently and the alleged burglar only took two very important things – her house keys and a remote control to her front gate. That’s creepy. According to the official police report, cops “noticed doors to the home wide open … and footprints within the home”. Thankfully, the singer was out of town when the incident happened. The documents also said that cops couldn’t tell if anything was actually stolen but were later informed of the loss of the keys and remote control. A watch order has been placed over the property due to the creepiness of what items were stolen. Cops are waiting to get their hands on a copy of Rubio’s surveillance tapes.
