Michael Jackson
News

Janet Jackson did an interview with Robin Roberts for Good Morning America regarding the death of her brother Michael. Janet says the last time she saw Michael before he died was a couple of days before her birthday back in May. She was closest to Michael growing up and found out he was in the hospital when her assistant called to break the news, and told her it was on CNN.

She also said the family tried to get Michael help but they were unsuccessful in their attempts.

We did a few times," says Janet, the youngest child in the family. "We weren't very successful. He understood that it was out of love, out of caring. But people can be in denial."

You can only do so much to help an addict and it's up to them to take the big steps into cleaning up. Michael Jackson had problems with pain killers for years and if his own family couldn't get him to stop, it was a matter of time before it got out of control and he ended up six feet under. If it wasn't Dr. Murray that ended up being the one to f*ck it up for Michael, it would have just been someone else.

Michael Jackson wasn't into golden showers, but he did like to whip his wang out and pee in front of people. Maybe that explains the crotch grabbing he did during his performances! He was wishing he could just release the trouser snake and pee in front of his fans.

Michael's doctor and old pal Arnold Klein says Michael had pee'd in front of him along with numerous other people including the child who accused Michael of child molestation.

Dr. Klein insists Jackson did not molest the boy, and says the reason he could describe Jackson's genitals is because Jackson liked to pee in front of other people. Dr. Klein said Jackson thought it was funny.

Arnold also said Michael would pee in a cup while at Klein's home in front of many people including children. My guess is Michael was packing a monster in his pants and wanted to show others there was one area on his body that hadn't been mangled with plastic surgery. At least he wasn't p*ssing on people to mark them as his territory.

I saw this one coming, did you? Michael Jackson's concert documentary, This Is It, scored the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning a five-day worldwide total of $101 million.

This Is It pulled in an estimated $21.3 million Friday-Sunday. It's Michael's loyal international fans that are driving revenue. As I witnessed myself, MJ is huge in Europe and around the world. Fans in Japan, the UK and Germany came out in droves to pay homage to one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Sony announced today that This Is Not Done. This Is It's theater run has been extended. Michael will continue to dance his a*s off on the big screen through Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm so thrilled for Michael! I knew he could do it. If you haven't seen it, go check it out! The King of Pop is mesmerizing, to say the least.

Michael Jackson's documentary This Is It arguably has two stars: Michael Jackson and Orianthi Panagaris.

Orianthi is the 24 year-old guitar hero from Australia. She has had a steady rise to fame, playing on stage at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, playing for Santana and Carrie Underwood. She was also featured in "Now or Never," a song on the Bratz movie soundtrack. But the hot blonde had yet to receive her time in the spotlight, until MJ changed that. In This Is It, Michael tells Orianthi "This is your time to shine," encouraging the young musician to remain confident during her solo. It's one of the most touching scenes in the captivating film.

Orianthi said that she had to fight her butterflies to audition in front of MJ's musical director.

"I didn't think I was gonna get it. I was blown away that he liked my playing. It was a dream come true."

This woman oozes with raw talent and she's a hot chick who can play with the rest of the boys. Orianthi's new album is called According to You, and its release was pushed up to coincide with the release of This Is It. My friend really liked that the young guitarist can multi-task. Orianthi chews gum while she's playing some riffs that make you go 'WTF?' I like that she graces the stage in boots with heels. She's great!

A lot of famous folks showed up for the premiere of Michael Jackson's This Is It movie, and you also had some not so famous folks such as Ian Ziering. What the hell was he doing there?

Adam Lambert and Katy Perry looked super cute on the red carpet together, and J.Lo had something funky going on with her hair. I'm not sure if there were 100 mph winds, or if her hair was all fugged up on purpose.

The movie has had good reviews and sounds like a must-see for those of us who grew up listening to Michael.

At 50, Jackson was still an amazingly gifted dancer with moves that leave your mouth agape. And Jackson's voice still dazzles — even when he's trying to play it down.

Here's some new photos from the upcoming Michael Jackson movie 'This Is It'. They say he was in good health when he passed but he looks mighty sickly to me.

The movie is set to be released on October 28.

Everybody wants a piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia that is one of a kind and there isn't any that's more unique than this. Ralph Cohen, who was an executive producer of the Pepsi commercial where Michael's head went up in flames, has some strands of Michael's burnt hair that he wants to sell.

Ralph obtained the strands when he put his jacket on Michael's head to help put the flames out. He says once the pyrotechnics went off and Michael was half way down the stairs, he noticed his head was on fire.

"There was so much lights and so many different things go on but I noticed his hair was on fire and I immediately rushed out from my position. I pulled my jacket off as I was running and proceeded to, when I reached him, put it over his head."

This dude has to be a taco short of a fiesta if he's been keeping some nasty burned hair in a bag for the past 25 years. This supposed burnt hair could be pubic hair that someone took a flame to the end of and claimed it was Michael's hair for all we know. If you want a few straggles of Michael's hair to show all your friends, they go on auction at Edwardian Radisson Hotel at Heathrow, London, on October 17.

Michael Jackson's song "This Is It" was originally written in the 90s, but never officially released. The song will be played at the end of MJ's This Is It documentary which opens in theaters October 28th.

The King of Pop's brothers are singing in the background. The track will be a part of a new 2-disc CD set. Michael fans are bound to eat this one up. I love how emotional it is, it just breaks my heart for too many reasons to mention.

He may be gone, but there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to Michael Jackson. Can you ever get enough Michael Jackson though?

Michael had done phone interviews with Rabbi Schmuley Boteach 9 years ago which were to be part of a memoir on Jackson's life. Some of the audio was released today where Michael says he has a gift from God to heal sick children. Apparently kids also showered all over him with love. WTF?

"I've seen children just shower all over me with love," Jackson said. "They want to just touch me and hug me and completely just hold on and cry and not let go . . . and mothers pick their babies and put them into my arms -- 'Touch my baby, and hold them, touch my baby, touch my baby.' "

I could throw in some golden shower jokes but I'm not gonna. That's just gross! In the audio Michael also said Madonna is not a nice person and she is jealous of him. She has to love hearing that after the touching speech she gave about him at the VMA's. Yay to Michael for getting the last word on the old hag, but I think we all know she's not the most chipper person in the world.

Michael Jackson's movie This Is It shows the King of Pop rehearsing for his 50-date London comeback tour. The film will be in high definition, some of which will be shown in 3-D.

The film will also offer a retrospective of Jackson's life and career and feature interviews with friends and collaborators (though interestingly not, per the press release, with family, unless they're simply being included in the latter category).

Fans need not worry about a possible smear campaign, however. Branca said the film would "treat Michael's legacy with dignity and respect."

Tickets go on sale Sept. 27 and the movie hits theaters Oct. 28.
