June 30, 200917 yr Author Quit posting this crap, mc_squared. I've heard an mp3 of Michael Jackson warming up with his vocal coach that was recent, and he still had the voice. He could still sing and dance, and definitely wasn't ill all the time. 1. The question is whether he could still sing and dance as he could at his peak. There are many who very much doubt it, and who are of the opinion he wouldn't have been in any fit state to complete 50 shows. 2. We should see what the official autopsy reveals (assuming the delusionals don't say it's been fabricated, of course). Get a life, loser. Uncalled for. Please stick to the debate in hand.;)

June 30, 200917 yr Author Was Michael Jackson bodyguard at centre of drugs supply chain that led to singer's death? By Paul Harris, David Jones and Jo Clements Last updated at 12:36 PM on 30th June 2009 Comments (9) Add to My Stories Enlarge Inquiry: Police are investigating how Michael Jackson obtained the drugs that killed him 48 hours after this picture was taken The mystery over Michael Jackson's death took a dramatic new turn last night after police began tracing the trail of drugs believed to have killed him. Prescriptions appear to have been written in several different names – those of members of his entourage. This raises the prospect that the 50-year-old singer set up an illegal supply chain to satisfy a dependency on painkillers that his doctor would not prescribe. Last night it was claimed that the star was spending up to £30,000 a month on prescription drugs including the sedative Xanax and the narcotic pain reliever Vicodin. Details found on prescriptions at the house where he died were being investigated by detectives yesterday. The Daily Mail understands that inquiries are particularly focussing on a bodyguard who was at the Los Angeles mansion where the star collapsed on Thursday. The new direction of the inquiry came as Jackson's father Joe said publicly he still had concerns over how his son died and suspected 'foul play somewhere'. Although police have not yet launched a formal criminal investigation they are following 'every possible lead' to piece together the details of his final moments. It is now known that his doctor claims not to have been able to make an emergency 911 call because he couldn't remember the address. The inquiry was being conducted against a backdrop of increasing anger from Jackson's family as they struggle to arrange his funeral, launch a legal battle over his money, music and children – and try independently to unravel precisely what took place in the 12 hours before his death. The bodyguard, in his 20s, was one of up to 15 individuals regularly staying at Jackson's mansion, which he shared with a circle of aides, friends and Nation of Islam minders. More... Haunting last pictures of Jackson rehearsing for comeback London showMichael Jackson's mother wins temporary custody of his three childrenJanet Jackson and Jamie Foxx pay tribute to Michael at emotional awards ceremony Lisa Marie Presley said he was a passionate lover. So what WAS the truth about Jackson's sexuality? If it can be proved that drugs were obtained for Jackson in someone else's name it would become a serious criminal matter. It could also go some way to answering the questions about what happened. Although no formal cause of death has been established, the TMZ web site – which broke the news of Jackson's death last week – said last night a 'drug overdose' was the most likely cause. Joe Jackson, 80, dramatically stoked up the mystery over the star's death with his outburst on Sunday night that he had 'a lot of concerns' over Michael's death. Concerns: Michael's father Joe Jackson suspects foul play was involved in his son's death 'Michael was dead before he left the house,' he said. 'I'm suspecting foul play somewhere. He was waving to everybody and telling them he loves them, and all the fans at the gate. A few minutes after Michael was out there, he was dead.' Yesterday he said it was too soon to set a funeral date, saying the family was waiting to hear details of a second, private autopsy. Mr Jackson's earlier intervention turns the spotlight back on those last minutes inside Michael's Los Angeles mansion. Yesterday the doctor at the centre of the case vigorously denied he had done anything wrong. Dr Conrad Murray emphatically denied giving Jackson the drugs believed to have caused a cardiac arrest, insisting he never prescribed or gave Jackson either Demerol or Oxycontin. The detailed account Dr Murray gave to detectives at the weekend sheds new light on the desperate drama that unfolded shortly after 11.30am on Thursday. Dr Murray said that when he found Jackson in bed, he still had a pulse. He tried to revive him but struggled to find anyone at the rented mansion to help him call 911, his lawyer Edward Chernoff said. Once he realised that cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, was not reviving Jackson, he decided to dial 911 on his cell phone. But Dr Murray – who moved into the house weeks earlier as his personal physician – says he did not know the exact address. None of the house phones worked 'for privacy reasons'. So he ran round looking for help. A security man, Mr Chernoff said, eventually dialled 911. CPR, he said, was done for 25 to 30 minutes before emergency teams arrived. Their efforts also failed. An ambulance rushes the singer to hospital: A call to the emergency services was delayed because Michael's physician 'did not know the exact address' of the star's home Last night it was claimed that La Toya Jackson, 53, rummaged through her brother's belongings hunting for hidden stashes of cash at the rented mansion. Full refunds for 750,000 fans Fans will be able to get a full refund for Jackson's London concert tickets or receive a special souvenir ticket the star helped design. He had been due to perform 50 shows at the 02 arena. More than 750,000 were due to attend, with many paying between £50 and £150 for a ticket. The entertainment company behind the concerts, AEG, said anyone who bought tickets through authorised agents would be able to claim their money back. Refund or keepsake: Fans like these who queued to buy tickets for Michael's show at the 02 can get their money back or keep the ticket designed by the star as a souvenir Alternatively, the company said, fans could be sent the tickets Jackson designed as memento. They feature a hologram which shows Jackson dancing across the metallic strip when it is moved. AEG was unable to say how much the tickets cost to make, but critics will ask whether it is fair to charge fans the full amount for a small keepsake. Ticket holders requiring information about receiving a full refund should go to http://www.MichaeJacksonLive.com from Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Those wanting to receive the actual tickets will need to make the claim before August 14 2009. Elizabeth Taylor's grief Inconsolable: Elizabeth Taylor is devastated by the loss of her close friend Elizabeth Taylor is said to be inconsolable over the death of Jackson, a close friend. The screen legend is said to have been ‘screaming in her house’ after the singer passed away. Friends are now worried that the frail 77-year-old is putting her own health at risk with her grief. ‘[she] is making herself so ill over Michael’s passing that her people now worry about her future,’ said gossip columnist Cindy Adams in the New York Post. Miss Taylor had reportedly planned to attend Jackson’s opening concert on his comeback tour in London, travelling with nurses and assistants on a private plane. Michael Jackson’s friend Mark Lester said the singer, who was godfather to his daughter, wanted to perform his This Is It concerts so his children could see him doing ‘what daddy does best’. Former Oliver! child actor Lester said on the This Morning TV show: ‘I spoke to Michael the weekend before last. We had a long chat on the phone, he was really excited to be coming over here.’ Lester said Jackson’s three children were ‘everything’ to the singer and added: ‘He wanted his children to see daddy do what daddy does best…the kids had never seen Michael performing live, this was their opportunity to see him.’

July 1, 200917 yr Author Michael Jackson begged for deadly drug to cure his chronic insomnia, nurse reveals By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 8:57 AM on 01st July 2009 Comments (6) Add to My Stories Michael Jackson begged for a powerful surgical anaesthetic to combat chronic insomnia in the months before his death - despite a tearful nurse's warning that he might not wake up. Cherilyn Lee, who was working with the star as a nutritionist while he prepared his comeback bid, said she repeatedly rejected his demands for the potentially deadly drug, Diprivan. A frantic phone call from Jackson just four days before his death sparked fears he may have got hold of the drug from another source, she said. Enlarge Michael Jackson rehearsing his comeback bid at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on June 23. A nurse working with the star in preparation for the London concerts has spoken of her fears he was using a powerful sedative that was potentially dangerous While in Florida on June 21, Lee was contacted by a member of Jackson's staff. 'He called and was very frantic and said, 'Michael needs to see you right away.' I said, 'What's wrong?' And I could hear Michael in the background ..., 'One side of my body is hot, it's hot, and one side of my body is cold. It's very cold,'' Lee said. 'I said, 'Tell him he needs to go the hospital. I don't know what's going on, but he needs to go to the hospital ... right away.' 'At that point, I knew that somebody had given him something that hit the central nervous system,' she said, adding, 'He was in trouble Sunday and he was crying out.' Jackson did not go to the hospital. He died June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest, his family said. Autopsies have been conducted, but an official cause of death is not expected for several weeks. Nutritionist and nurse Cherilyn Lee, who was working with Jackson on his comeback bid, poses for photographs after an interview in California 'I don't know what happened there. The only thing I can say is he was adamant about this drug,' Lee said. In recent months, Lee said, Jackson waved away her warnings about Diprivan, which is given intravenously - and which has been implicated in drug abuse and in suicide. 'I had an IV and when it hit my vein, I was sleeping. That's what I want,' Lee said Jackson told her. 'I said, 'Michael, the only problem with you taking this medication' - and I had a chill in my body and tears in my eyes three months ago - 'the only problem is you're going to take it and you're not going to wake up,' she recalled. Today U.S. media reports claimed that Diprivan - also known as Propofol - was found at Jackson's residence. Website TMZ.com, which first broke news of the singer's death, also claimed that Lidocaine, a drug used to counter the pain of a Propofol injection, was found near Jackson's body. More... Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe 'are not biological parents of any of his children'Michael Jackson's body to go on public view at Neverland before 'fairytale' funeral The website quoted unnamed sources in the report. Following Jackson's death, allegations emerged that the 50-year-old King of Pop had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants. But Lee said he had been tortured by sleep deprivation and had expressed opposition to recreational drug use. 'He wasn't looking to get high or feel good and sedated from drugs,' she said. 'This was a person who was not on drugs. This was a person who was seeking help, desperately, to get some sleep, to get some rest.' Jackson was rehearsing hard for what would have been his big comeback - his 'This Is It' tour, a series of performances that would have strained his ageing dancer's body. Also, pain had been a part of his life since 1984, when his scalp was severely burned during a Pepsi commercial shoot. The potentially dangerous sedative Diprivan, also known as Propofol, which is delivered by injection. Jackson was said to be begging for the drug to cure his chronic insomnia Several months ago, Jackson had begun badgering Lee about Diprivan, also known as Propofol, Lee said. It is an intravenous anaesthetic drug widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. It is generally given through an IV needle in the hand. Patients given Propofol take less time to regain consciousness than those administered certain other drugs, and they report waking up more clear-headed and refreshed, said University of Chicago psychopharmacologist James Zacny. It has also been implicated in drug abuse, with people using it to 'chill out' - or to commit suicide, Zacny said. Accidental deaths linked to abuse have been reported. The powerful drug has a very narrow therapeutic window, meaning it doesn't take doses much larger than the medically recommended amount to stop a person's breathing. An overdose that stops breathing can result in a buildup of carbon dioxide, causing the heart to beat erratically and leading to cardiac arrest, said Dr. John Dombrowski, a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Enlarge Snow white hearse: The horse-drawn carriage that is rumoured to be carrying Jackson's body to his funeral Because it is given intravenously and is not the kind of prescription drug typically available from pharmacists, abuse cases have involved anaesthesiologists, nurses and other hospital staffers with easy access to the drug, Zacny said. According to Lee, Jackson said it had been given to him before but he didn't want to discuss the circumstances or identify the doctor involved. Londell McMillan, attorney for Katherine and Joe Jackson, talked about Lee's disclosures Tuesday on CNN. 'It's a hearsay comment. It would be inadmissible anywhere in a court of law,' he said. 'I also wonder why anyone would make a comment about something that they don't have much knowledge about. They didn't see the drug administered. It's again because of the Michael Jackson factor.' Lee said the singer drew his own distinctions when it came to drugs versus prescription medicine. Enlarge The star during rehearsals at the Staples Centre on June 23 - two days before his shocking death 'He said, 'I don't like drugs. I don't want any drugs. My doctor told me this is a safe medicine,'' Lee said. The next day, she said she brought a copy of the Physician's Desk Reference to show him the section on Diprivan. 'He said, 'No, my doctor said it's safe. It works quick and it's safe as long as somebody's here to monitor me and wake me up. It's going be OK,'' Lee said. She said he did not give the doctor's name. Lee said at one point, she spent the night with Jackson to monitor him while he slept. She said she gave him herbal remedies and stayed in a corner chair in his vast bedroom. After he settled in bed, Lee told Jackson to turn down the lights and music - he had classical music playing in the house. 'He also had a computer on the bed because he loved Walt Disney,' she said. 'He was watching Donald Duck and it was ongoing. I said, 'Maybe if we put on softer music,' and he said, 'No, this is how I go to sleep.'' Three and a half hours later, Jackson jumped up and looked at Lee, eyes wide open, according to Lee. 'This is what happens to me,' she quoted him as saying. 'All I want is to be able to sleep. I want to be able to sleep eight hours. I know I'll feel better the next day.' Lee, 56, is licensed as a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in California, according to the state Board of Registered Nursing's Web site. She attended Los Angeles Southwest College and the Charles Drew University of Medicine and Sciences in Los Angeles. Comedian Dick Gregory, who knows Lee and her work, said he believes Jackson's insomnia had its roots in the pop star's 2005 trial on child molestation charges. Jackson's health had deteriorated so much that his parents called Gregory, a natural foods proponent, for help. Gregory said Jackson wasn't eating or drinking at the time and, after he was persuaded by Gregory to undergo testing, ended up hospitalized for severe dehydration. But Jackson obviously was healthy enough to withstand the level of medical scrutiny needed to insure him for the upcoming high-stakes London concerts, Gregory said. 'That you don't trick,' he said of the exams. 'The Incredible Hulk' star Lou Ferrigno, who's been working out with Jackson for the past several months, said Jackson was focused on health. 'When he was with me, he wasn't different. He wasn't stoned. He wasn't high. He wasn't being aloof or speedy. Never talked about drugs,' Ferrigno said. 'I've never seen him take drugs. He was always talking about nutrition.' Lee, who has also worked with Stevie Wonder, Marla Gibbs, Reynaldo Rey and other celebrities, said she was introduced to Jackson by the mother of one of his staff members. Jackson's three children had minor cold symptoms and their paediatrician was out of town. Lee said she went to the house in January, the first of about 10 visits there through April, and treated the children with vitamins. Michael, intrigued, asked what else she did and took her up on her claim she could boost his energy. After running blood tests, she devised protein shakes for him and gave him an intravenous vitamin and mineral mixture - known as a 'Myers cocktail,' after Dr. John Myers - which Lee said she uses routinely in her practice. 'It wasn't that he felt sick,' she said. 'He just wanted more energy.' Lee said she decided to speak out to protect Jackson's reputation from what she considers unfounded allegations of drug abuse or shortcomings as a parent. 'I think it's so wrong for people to say these things about him,' she said. 'He was a wonderful, loving father who wanted the best for his children.'

July 8, 200917 yr Author Michael Jackson memorial: The tackiest show on earth to send off the King of Pop By Paul Harris Last updated at 10:14 AM on 08th July 2009 Comments (35) Add to My Stories There were two circuses in town here yesterday and at times it was hard to tell them apart. One brought elephants marching trunk to tail through the street. The other brought Michael Jackson's body. The King of Pop's funeral in Los Angeles broke new ground in questionable taste by having his coffin centre-stage of his memorial service. Centre stage: Michael Jackson's gold mirrored coffin takes pride of place at the memorial service in Los Angeles yesterday Tribute: The founder of Motown records Bery Gordy called Jackson 'the greatest entertainer that ever lived' Enlarge Final performance: The Jackson brothers gather backstage at the Staples Center The world's final taste of the Michael Jackson phenomenon was a singing, dancing, schmaltzy spectacle that eclipsed anything even this city of make-believe has ever witnessed. And one that underlined how overwhelming the culture of celebrity has become. Nearly two weeks after he died, Jackson still had the power to bring everything to a standstill. He also had the capacity to shock. Front row Jacksons: (from left to right) Rebbie, Janet, Randy, Tito, Marlon, Jackie and Jermaine at the public memorial Giant screens outside the Staples Centre broadcast his image ceaselessly to the masses. Police officers joined queues to buy tacky merchandise at inflated prices. One vendor said she expected to make $5,000 from the occasion. A man in shorts and a flamboyant shirt haggled to tout his two tickets for $2,700, ignoring pleas from organisers not to do so. Did he care, I asked him? 'I don't care now,' he said, patting the dollars in his pocket. Elsewhere, Jackson impersonators moonwalked, fans sang Jackson hits and danced practically everywhere you went. Ringside: The elephants of the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus will be performing at the Staples Centre later this week... but took the opportunity to stroll past before the memorial service Enlarge Spectacle: The scene outside the Staples Center as fans gathered to pay their respects to Michael Jackson at the memorial service Enlarge Procession: The funeral procession for Michael Jackson heads to the Staples Center after a memorial service for friends and family at Forest Lawn Mortuary Everything about the day was pure showbiz...right down to the end of the service when Jackson's children came on stage. His 11-year- old daughter Paris broke down in tears as she told a worldwide TV audience of a billion that her 'daddy' was 'the best father you could imagine'. She added: 'I just wanted to say I love him so much.' As his brother Jermaine so perfectly summarised it: 'Everything Michael did was so over the top.' Quite so. The Jacko extravaganza had swung into action long before the mist had cleared over Hollywood. His body was driven to the Forest Lawn cemetery and the Jackson clan is believed to have said a personal farewell inside the imposing chapel before returning to the family home briefly. Enlarge Tears of a daughter: Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Michael Katherine is comforted by family members after paying tribute to the 'best father you can imagine' Enlarge Enlarge Father Joe and Michael's brother Jermaine: The elder Jackson brother sang Michael's favourite song 'Smile' The fleet of black cars then waited to take them back to the cemetery for a sedate, 10-mile drive along closed highways to sealed streets around the stadium.

Live commentary was broadcast throughout the 30-minute journey. Away from all the attention, 11 elephants due to take part in an unconnected performance at the stadium tomorrow had been quietly led to their quarters. The event was being billed as a circus spectacular. It never had a hope of competing with the real thing. Emotional send-off: Paris Jackson (2nd L), Prince Michael Jackson I ® and Prince Michael Jackson II (aka Blanket) sing along to their father's charity song Heal The World Jacko's circus was more about glitter than sawdust. But it could certainly boast a great deal of last-minute juggling, and, depending on your point of view, a few clowns. Someone decided it would be in good taste to punctuate the event with images and soundtracks of the singer as he lay in his coffin. You half expected to see the lid swing back for one last goodbye. There was a sombre standing ovation for the Jackson family when they arrived, but it quickly turned to whooping and cheering as the ceremony got under way. Enlarge The Jackson clan is believed to have said a personal farewell inside the imposing chapel at Forest Lawn mortuary before returning to the family home briefly. Single-gloved pallbearers carried the mirror gold casket to a space reserved between cascading flowers, just a few feet from seated guests, accompanied by a hallelujah choir singing 'We're going to see the king...' Among those who saluted Jackson were his friend Brooke Shields, music mogul Barry Gordy, the Rev. Al Sharpton and basketball greats Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant. 'This is a moment that I wished I didn't live to see,' Stevie Wonder said before his performance. The singer Smokey Robinson began the service by reading statements from Jackson's close friends Diana Ross and Nelson Mandela. Enlarge British idol: Britain's Got Talent winner Shaheen Jafargholi was given a standing ovation for his stunning performance In Moscow, President Obama had told a TV reporter that he recalled listening to Jackson from the age of eight. He said: 'I think we saw it when Elvis died; in a different way you saw it when Frank Sinatra died; you saw it when John Lennon died. There are certain figures in our popular culture that just capture our people's imaginations and in death they become even larger.' And so the curtain came down on Michael Jackson, who can finally be laid to rest, maybe at Forest Lawn, maybe at Neverland and maybe, according to reports, in concrete to deter grave robbers. • It has been revealed a Michael Jackson memorial will also be held in London on August 29, on what would have been the singer's 51st birthday. Kenney Ortega, director of Jackson's planned This Is It UK concert, has met family members and other organisers about the event. Roger Friedman, the Hollywood Reporter journalist who has broken many of the stories surrounding Jackson's death, said the concert will take place at the O2 Arena where the This Is It tour had been due to start on Monday.
