MJ had secret hitlist of ‘enemies’

September 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Sept 18 (ANI): Late singer Michael Jackson maintained a secret list of enemies, which only his closest associates were aware of.

The King of Pop’s former manager Dieter Wiesner has revealed that Jackson had a secret hit list of the people who he wanted to be kept away from him at all times.

The list included ex-friends Uri Geller and Rabbi Schmuley Boteach, Santa Barbara, California, District Attorney Tom Sneddon, who tried to put Jackson behind bars on child molestation charges and lawyer Glora Allred.

Wiesner admitted he transcribed the list as his client reeled off names.

“Sometimes he was a little bit paranoid… I’d ask him, ‘Michael, what are you doing…?’ He said… ‘These people are after me and they want to destroy my life,’” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

The list of enemies also included music mogul Tommy Mottola and Janet Arviso, who accused Jackson of molesting her son at his Neverland Ranch home. (ANI)

Jon’s family expresses dismay over verdict, say he has been victimised

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, Sep.1 (ANI): The family of Indian-born fashion designer Anand Jon has reacted with dismay to the 59-year sentence handed over to him by a US court for sexually assaulting aspiring models. They claimed that Jon has been “victimised” and that facts have been overlooked in the case.

The designer’s mother Shashi Jon said, “He is not capable of doing anything like this.This was beyond my belief that Anand has been taken in and arrested on charges of molestation”.

Defending 35-year-old Anand, his sister Sanjana said, “The fact that Anand is an Indian citizen and that he is being victimised is completely overlooked. So there is nobody questioning anything that we are facing there”.

“Every piece of evidence that is medical shows that nothing ever happened. There is no medical evidence that showed that anything ever happened,” she told TV channels.

Their family’s lawyer Majid Memon said, “It is very sad that this young boy, a celebrity from India, has to be left like this and being now convicted and sentenced to suffer for the whole of his life.”

Times Now quoted Memon as saying that all the girls alleging rape or molestation don’t have a “scratch on their body to suggest that there was any resistance or any violence by the accused.

Moreover, the complaints have been lodged weeks and even months after the incidents. So definitely this is a very dubious kind of a charge and unfortunately Anand was left alone and there was hardly any help.

Jon’s mother and sister will now move for an appeal,” Memon said.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley today announced that Jon must serve 14 years in state prison-before he begins to serve a 45-year-to-life sentence.

The designer has been featured on the television show “America’s Next Top Model” and worked with such celebrities as Paris Hilton and Mary J Blige. (ANI)

MJ had mapped out his life’s next chapter: Nephew

August 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Aug 24 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s nephew Taj has said that the King of Pop had mapped out the next chapter of his life.

Tito Jackson’s son said that his uncle was looking forward to the London concerts and planning a movie career ahead.

“He had his next chapter mapped out. He wanted to do this (tour) and get on to the next chapter. The last words he said to me were, ‘We’re gong to do film after this,’” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

The former 3T singer took to the stand while testifying in the planned King of Pop memorabilia tour lawsuit, in a bid to back his grandmother Katherine’s opposition to the deal.

He also added that he was against burying the icon at Neverland Ranch as the star came to “hate” the estate following his 2005 child molestation trial.

He said: “Neverland was never an option to us. It brought so much pain to him.”

Jackson will be buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California on 3 September. (ANI)

MJ seduced gay lovers saying King of Pop wants your lollipop, claims book

July 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 13 (ANI): A new book makes several shocking claims about Michael Jackson, including one that he had many gay lovers who he seduced by saying: “The King of Pop is going to lick your lollipop.”

Biographer Ian Halperin claims to have hunted down two of the star’s alleged male lovers, with one apparently making the allegation.

“The very first time he had sex with me he said, ‘The King of Pop’s going to lick your lollipop’. I still laugh thinking about that,” the Sun quoted Jackson’s one alleged lover as having told Halperin.

The author of ‘Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson’ also alleges that “virtually everybody” around the singer knew about his interests in the same sex.

He says: “Virtually everybody has told me. Even those who are his most ardent defenders, people who maintain he is innocent of the molestation charges, insist that he is homosexually inclined.” (ANI)

Insurers had forced MJ to pay off child molestation accuser, says book

July 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, July 9 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s insurance company had forced the King of Pop to pay 20 million dollars to his first child molestation accuser to get rid of the charges, according to a new book.

Although the cash deal had left many people believing the singer to be guilty, investigative journalist Ian Halperin claims in his new tome ‘Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson’ that the singer was not a paedophile who preyed on children.

“The book shows documents proving that Michael’s insurance company forced the (Jordy) Chandler settlement on him against his will and against the advice of his lawyers. He collapsed in hysterics when he found out he had to do that,” Contactmusic quoted an insider, who has read the upcoming book, as telling In Touch magazine.

The book also suggests that Jackson was secretly gay and once picked up a construction worker in Las Vegas. (ANI)

Jackson family split delays funeral

July 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Los Angeles, July 10 (DPA) A family split over where to bury Michael Jackson is delaying the funeral of the late King of Pop who died two weeks ago, ABC News reported Thursday.
Mystery has surrounded burial plans since Jackson’s casket was whisked to a secret location following his globally televised memorial service Tuesday.

The ABC report said Jackson’s body was returned to the Forest Lawn memorial home while the family sorts out the burial imbroglio.

Jackson’s brothers are determined to get permission to bury him at his Neverland estate. But his mother, Katherine Jackson, wants to find an alternative resting place that honours Jackson’s wish made after he was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005, never to return to his home.

Jackson’s brothers have already begun the lengthy process of obtaining permits to bury Jackson at Neverland, according to the report. But local officials said they have not had any contact with the Jackson family regarding the burial.

Jackson’s supporters meanwhile appear to have an uphill battle to get him declared an “American legend” in an official congressional resolution.

House Resolution 600 praises the work and life of Jackson, “honouring an American legend and musical icon” and was proposed by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Los Angeles who also spoke at Jackson’s memorial.

But House speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned the idea, saying it would disrespect Jackson by raising the controversies that haunted his later life.

“Michael Jackson was a great, great performer,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference, explaining that a resolution would be a distraction and “would open up two contrary views” on Jackson’s life.

Pelosi was speaking just days after Representative Peter King, a Republican from Long Island, blasted the media coverage of Jackson and called the performer a “pervert” and a “paedophile”.

Let us affirm best of Jackson: Obama

July 8, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, July 7 (DPA) US President Barack Obama has praised Michael Jackson as one of the “greatest entertainers of our generation” whose life was mired in tragedy.
Obama’s remarks in an interview with CNN came as thousands of people flocked to downtown Los Angeles Tuesday to attend a memorial service for the pop icon.

Obama, who is visiting Moscow, said Jackson “became a core part of our culture”, and was someone who had to deal with “a big dose of tragedy and difficulty in his private life.”

Jackson’s public image was tarnished by accusations of sexually abusing children. One case was settled out of court in 1994 and he was acquitted of child molestation charges in a 2005 trial.

“I don’t think we can ignore that, but it’s important for us to affirm the best of him,” Obama said.

Jackson died in Los Angeles of an apparent heart attack June 25. He was 50 and about to embark on a series of live performances for the first time since 1997.

The Jackson family held a private service in Hollywood Hills before a public event at the Staples Center, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.

NCW proposes to set up boards to rehabilitate rape victims

July 4, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, July 4 (ANI): The National Commission for Women (NCW) has proposed to set up a board at district level to rehabilitate rape victims.

The NCW has drawn a rehabilitation scheme for rape victims, which would help them to resume normal lives.

Addressing a press conference here, NCW Chairperson Girija Vyas said the commission has sent the details of the scheme to the Prime Minister, and also demanded its speedy implementation.

The draft scheme proposes to set up a criminal injuries relief and rehabilitation board at every district, the victim can get a rehabilitation package, including financial assistance by applying to this board, Vyas said.

Apart from boards at the district level, a national board is also proposed to be set up as part of the scheme which would lay down procedures for district boards.

Vyas disclosed that according to the National Crime Records Bureau there are 2.78 crore-rape cases pending in courts at different levels.

She also said there is an imminent need to introduce a new law to deal with sexual violence against women. Such a law should redefine the word rape making it more comprehensive and cover molestation and eve teasing, which were equally acts of sexual assault. (ANI)

Jacko was left ‘broken’ by police strip search

July 3, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, July 3 (ANI): Michael Jackson never recovered from the child molestation charges that surfaced against him in 1993, particularly from the invasive police search that authorities put him through.

According to John Randy Taraborrelli who had known Jackson for 40 years, Jackson was extremely self-conscious about his body due to all the scars he had from surgeries and was humiliated when police forced him to submit to a nude examination, reports the China Daily.

“He begged police for an hour. Michael had been broken. He came into the living room and clearly agitated and wearing a brown dressing gown. Crying softly, he took it off, stripped of all his dignity,” Taraborrelli said.

Police wanted to see Jackson in the nude because the 13-year-old who made the charges against Jackson told police that he knew Jackson was circumcised.

That claim turned out to be false, as Jackson was not circumcised. Jackson ended up not being charged as the case was settled out of court.

Even though he was not charged, Taraborrelli said that Jackson never recovered emotionally from the ordeal. (ANI)

Michael Jackson auction opens for viewing

April 16, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Los Angeles – The contents of former pop idol Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch went on public viewing Tuesday ahead of an auction next week that is being challenged by the controversial singer’s lawyers. Among the approximately 1,390 items on display at a former Beverly Hills department store were the wrought iron gates of Neverland Ranch, the crystal-covered glove worn by Jackson in the video for Billie Jean, numerous musical awards, a letter from former president Ronald Reagan, heaps of ornate furniture, dozens of statues and a massive collection of toys, games and pinball machines.

Organizers of the sale at Julien’s Auctions estimate that it could raise between 10 million and 20 million dollars, and take a sizable chunk out of Jackson’s estimated 24-million-dollar debt. Jackson also recently signed on to perform a 50-concert run in London in a bid to raise cash and solve his financial problems.

Jackson’s legal representatives are trying to stop the sale claiming that the singer was never given a chance to sort out his personal effects. Their initial motion was denied, but another court hearing is set for Wednesday.

Jackson lived in Neverland for more than 10 years before leaving it in the aftermath of the child molestation case in 2005, in which he was acquitted of charges that he sexually abused a young visitor at the ranch. Auctioneers spent three months emptying the massive estate and have split the eclectic collection into three main categories: stage wear and music memorabilia, toys and Disney memorablia, and furniture and decorative arts.

“Neverland represents Michael Jackson’s Xanadu,” said auction director Martin Nolan. “There’s something for everyone, from paintings to porcelain to bicycles.”

Also on offer are numerous portraits of Jackson is his favourite royal poses, a tour bus, bumper cars and all-terrain vehicles. There are life-size statues of ET and Darth Vader, endless Peter Pan paraphernalia, and dozens of figures of butlers, maids and children that were scattered around the house and its grounds. There’s also a Rolls Royce limousine with 24-karat gold trim and numerous jackets Jackson wore on stage and in television appearances.

Online bidding has already started at juliensauctions. com, and the live auction from April 22 to 25 will determine the winners.(dpa)

Delhi lawyers continue protest against provision in CrPC

February 18, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, Feb 18 (ANI): Lawyers stayed away from courts in New Delhi for the second consecutive day on Wednesday to protest against the new provision in the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) that allows police to go by discretion to arrest the accused in an offence punishable up to seven-year-jail term.

The call for the nationwide strike of lawyers was given last month following a decision in a meeting of different bar associations in New Delhi.

This is the sixth time that the lawyers in Capital have decided not to appear in courts to demand scrapping of what they call “anti-people and anti-social” amendments in the Criminal Procedure Code.

“There is complete strike across the country,” said Rajiv Khosla, spokesperson of the Co-ordination Committee All Bar Association of Delhi.

The Delhi High Court Bar Association office-bearers including its President and Secretary have also decided to sit on a hunger strike in support of their counterparts’ demands.

The bar leaders fear that the proposed amendment doing away with the mandatory arrest provisions in the offences punishable up to seven years would remove fear from minds of criminals who would misuse the provisions under the garb of personal liberty.

According to the proposed amendments in the Act, which received the President of India’s assent, no arrest would be required for cognisable offences such as molestation, dowry harassment and attempt to robbery, prescribing maximum punishment of seven years’ jail term. (ANI)
