Debbie Rowe suing woman for defamation over alleged custody claim

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Debbie Rowe

Debbie Rowe is suing a self-described friend for allegedly suggesting she was willing to surrender her custody rights over her two children with Michael Jackson for money.

In court papers filed on Thursday at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rowe is suing Rebecca White for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The ex-wife of Michael Jackson says White falsely claimed she had received an email in July from Rowe saying of Prince Michael I and Paris: “I’m not going after custody … These kids are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael’s.”

White made her claims on US entertainment show Extra!

The legal documents further allege Rowe never sent White a second email three days later saying: “My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children … Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don’t want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them. Would Michael want Joe [Jackson] to have them? I think it would be the last thing that he would ever have wanted.”

The court papers do say Rowe and White have emailed each other before, “but none discussing Mr Jackson, his family, or Ms Rowe’s children. There are also no emails between the parties since Mr Jackson’s death (with the exception of two sent by Ms White, to which Ms Rowe did not respond, and in fact, one of which was not even opened until July 14, 2009, when Ms White’s interview first came to light).”

The lawsuit alleges White has tried to make money out of celebrities before, including Naomi Campbell, Robbie Williams and the late Heath Ledger.

Bottles of Michael Jackson perfume set to go on sale

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

SPL84523_001
Bottles of putrid Michael Jackson perfume are reportedly set to go on sale after his death.

It has emerged that dozens of 17-year-old bottles of scent – each featuring a hologram of the star – were left over from Jackson’s failed bid to release his own fragrance in the early ’90s.

The ill-fated attempt, which reportedly left the Thriller star millions out of pocket, was pulled when his 1993 child molestation accusations came to light.

Until then, the project was going full steam ahead, says Florida-based entertainment manager Neil London, who had been asked to produce a TV advertisement to sell the product.

The commercial was finished but never hit the TV screens. “So dangerous, it’s not available in stores,” the voiceover says, in a tribute to Jackson’s album at the time, Dangerous.

“Let Michael Jackson stir your senses like never before, with ‘Mystique de Michael Jackson’ for women and ‘Le Jan de Michael Jackson for men’ – two dangerously seductive scents.”

The limited-edition perfume was to be distributed through direct marketing and an 800 telephone number.

However, the scheme was axed the day before it was due to go live in the summer of 1993, when the scandal emerged about Jackson’s sleepovers with young boys at his Neverland Ranch. A holographic image of Jackson, who died aged 50 on June 25, was on the front of each bottle.

It is understood most of the 400,000 bottles were destroyed but London, who now runs a popular lifestyle website, kept back a few dozen for himself.

Michael Michael Jackson’s nanny was his secret love, claims bodyguard

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Grace-Rwaramba

Michael Jackson’s nanny was his secret love, according to a new report.

It has been claimed that the late pop star had someone special in his life – and now a Jacko employee has come forward to name Grace Rwaramba, 42, who worked on and off for him for 17 years, as that special someone.

Jacko’s head of security, Matt Fiddes, 30, said Jacko had a girlfriend but did not name her. Fiddes said, “I’m not going to name who she is but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with.”

Now another bodyguard, who spoke under condition of anonymity, told the UK’s Sunday Mirror in a world exclusive that the woman was Ugandan-born Rwaramba.

He said: “Grace was the closest person to Michael and the kids. She will be broken-hearted.

“The children were always their first priority and like any couple they would row if they disagreed about how they were being brought up. But the difference between Grace and the other women in Michael’s life was that she had absolutely no interest in fame.

“It was something she actively avoided and Michael was determined to keep her and their relationship out of the public gaze. The romance was well known among staff but it was made very clear to them that this was not something that should be part of the public domain.”

Rwaramba initially worked as an assistant to Jackson and later became the children’s nanny.

DEA Involved in Michael Jackson Death Investigation

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

More and more details keep popping up about the late King of Pop Michael Jackson and the troubling drug problems he almost certainly one had. Sources say that in order to get more prescription medications, the singer used multiple aliases, including names of his bodyguards, staff and doctors, to fill multiple prescriptions. On source even reveals that the abuse was so serious that one doctor would “call the pharmacy and say Jackson was coming down to get Demerol. The pharmacy would then fill the prescription, leaving the patient’s name blank.” The DEA has now gotten involved as they are helping the LAPD investigate several physicians linked to Michael for prescribing drugs to him.

Coroner Collects Drugs from Michael Jackson’s Home

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The LA County Coroner’s office has gone back to Michael Jackson’s home to retrieve his medications, based on information turned up by the LAPD. The Coroner’s staff left the house with two large plastic bags though they would not say what types of medicine were retrieved from the late singer’s home. The LAPD has said to have retrieved several prescription bottles from the house but the plastic bags by no means were filled with pills. It is increasingly looking like the King of Pop died from a drug overdose, possibly a combination of several drugs that he was prescribed and had gotten addicted to.

Michael Jackson’s dad Joe reveals family haven’t planned funeral yet

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Michael Jackson-picture2

Michael Jackson’s father has revealed the family have not yet planned the pop star’s funeral – but that they do want the public involved.

In a bizarre press conference outside the Jackson family home in Los Angeles, Joe Jackson was accompanied by the Reverend Al Sharpton.

The press conference was expected to be held to announce details of Jacko’s funeral or memorial service.

But it began with Rev Sharpton defending Joe Jackson’s appearance at the BET Awards just three days after his son passed away.

Joe continued talking about his record company after Sharpton’s introduction, rambling about Miraz Records before finally turning the talk to his famous son.

Wearing a black shirt and hat, Joe Jackson said: “Hello everybody, I’m here to witness, something that we want you to know.

“I was asked a question last night about the record company, well what I am doing is, I established a record company with Marshall and that company is called Miraz Record.

So we have a lot of good artists to come out. I was asked that question and I answered like it was, but they wanted to know what else I was doing.”

Tape released of Michael Jackson 911 call

Friday, June 26th, 2009

SPL104102_008

A desperate man told an emergency responder Michael Jackson was unconscious and had stopped breathing in a dramatic 911 call made from the King of Pop’s home.

The unidentified caller told the operator Jackson’s personal doctor – named in reports as Dr Conrad Murray – was on the scene and was the only witness to the incident.

In the tape, released a day after Jackson’s death, the man says: “I need an ambulance as soon as possible. We have a gentleman here who needs help and who is not breathing and we’re trying to pump him but he’s not…

In the call, made at 12.21pm local time on Wednesday, he tells the operator: “Yes, he’s not breathing sir.”

Asked if Jackson was conscious, he replies: “No, he’s not conscious.”

He says Jackson is on a bed and is told to put him on the floor for CPR.

The man says: “We have a personal doctor here with him.”

But he adds: “He’s not responding to anything. He’s not responding to CPR or anything.”

The operator asks if anyone saw what happened to Jackson and the man replies: “No, just the doctor. The doctor’s been the only one here.”

The operator asks: “OK, so did the doctor see what happened?”

The man is then heard asking the doctor: “Did you see what happened?”

There is some background noise before the man urges the operator: “Sir, please, if you can please….”

He tells the operator: “He’s pumping, pumping his chest but he’s not responding to anything.”

The operator reassures him: “OK, we’re on our way.”

Michael Jackson’s painkiller use had become life threatening, says family lawyer

Friday, June 26th, 2009

SPL84558_008
Michael Jackson’s family lawyer says the performer’s reliance on painkillers had become “life threatening”.

Brian Oxman fears the medication may have contributed to the 50-year-old’s death from a suspected heart attack.

The lawyer said: “I don’t know if they are the cause here. I will reserve my conclusions until the toxicology reports and the coroner has made his report before I make any accusations. But I can tell you that if it is as I fear I will not be silent.

“I have been very, very critical of the use of pain medications. I have told people in no uncertain terms that if Michael one day woke up and he was dead I would not be silent, I would not permit this to go unchallenged.

“Michael had fallen from a stage several years ago. He cracked a vertebrae in his back. He also broke his leg and it’s caused him a lot of pain. The result of that is he has taken a lot of pain medications. They’ve been to treat actual pains he’s had, but the use of these medications I felt had become life threatening.”

Michael Jackson’s lawsuit ignorance

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

The famous pop singer who’s apparently still the biggest lawsuit well of the decade… and still going hot now that he has some prospects for income, apparently had no idea about a lawsuit from his former publicist Raymone Bain. She sued Michael Jackson for fourty-four million dollars and got a default judgement because of the lack of legal repsonse by Michael Jackson, but now the singer is saying he had no idea about the fact that he was being sued so he’s trying to get the judgement cancelled. This would be a good lesson for Michael Jackson to google himself from time to time and avoid surprises like this one.

Michael Jackson Rejects Show Offer

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Maybe Michael Jackson has some gigantic reservoir of cash hidden somewhere only he could know because I have no other idea as to why he reportedly rejected a big payday from the guy who really owns Las Vegas, Steve Wynn. Just a few days after Jacko said that a Jackson 5 reunion was not going to happen, Vegas Confidential reports that he turned down an offer to play at the opening of Steve Wynn’s Encore tower this coming December. The Encore is a $2 billion project that adds a tower next to the Wynn so the gig should definitely pay well. So why the rejection? If his bankruptcy and several loans to pay off, he needs the money.
