MJ burns victim lookalike sparks rumours he”s alive

London, May 11 (ANI): A website has claimed that Michael Jackson is alive and masquerading as a burns victim, astonishing users all over the world.

Internet rumours on YouTube and Facebook also claim the King of Pop is appearing on TV talk shows as Dave Dave, 33, a man who suffered severe facial disfigurement after his father set him on fire.

Dave was born David Rothenberg, in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of six, his father set him on fire over a twisted revenge concerning the child”s custody.

The little boy suffered 90 percent injuries, and was scarred badly, but survived.

His mother, Marie wrote a book on his ordeal, which was then made into a movie. A trip to Jackson”s Neverland ranch was organized for the boy, where the pop star took the boy under his wing.

Dave, now a law student living in Utah, changed his surname to break all ties with his father.

“He befriended me. He took me into his life, which is very rare for Michael to do.

“But he opened up his arms to me and accepted me as a very good friend of his. And throughout the years, he never let me go,” The Sun quoted the boy as saying.

Now Dave, who appeared on the Larry King show to talk about his memories of Jackson on the day of the star”s memorial service last year, is rumoured to be the pop star himself.

The website called michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com, is owned by a 28-year-old and her friend, Mo, who call themselves Michael Jackson Death Hoax Investigators.

“At first we started investigating Michael”s death as it was a gut feeling we both had.

“The media told us two different stories. TMZ.com reported he died six minutes before the doctor pronounced him dead, and CNN kept telling us he was in a coma. What really happened still remains a mystery,” said the website owner.

Lawyer Brian Oxman, who acts as Dave”s spokesman, rubbished the rumours saying that Jackson would be the last man wanting to study law.

“He was so remarkable that people find it difficult to believe he is no longer with us. They long for him to remain a part of our lives.

“Dave Dave is an extraordinary young man. Michael Jackson took care of Dave for many years and asked nothing in return,” he added.

Jackson died aged 50 in June last year. (ANI)

Gaudy Jacko portrait for sale

An over-the-top portrait of Michael Jackson is up for auction online.

The 127 by 102-centimetre painting by Aussie artist Brett-Livingstone Strong is being offered on eBay.

Titled The Book, it is reportedly the only painting for which the King of Pop posed. It depicts Jackson in a red velvet jacket, clutching a journal at his Neverland ranch.

“I’ve had it an awful long time,” said toy inventor Marty Abrams, who acquired the painting with partner John Gentilly in 1992 from Japanese businessman Hiromichi Saeki as payment on a debt owed to them.

“With the positive response to his music and the movie about him after his death, we thought it was a good time to sell it and for the world to see it.”

For over 17 years, Abrams kept the painting in storage in a New Jersey warehouse.

It was briefly on display at the Dancy-Power Automotive showroom in Harlem after Jackson’s death last June.

The painting, which also features the fairy character Tinkerbell hovering in the background, is currently hanging inside Abrams’s home in Kings Point, New York.

Abrams said the painting was appraised by Belgo Fine Art Appraisal and Restoration at $US5.3 million ($5.72 million) in 2000.

He hopes it will fetch more than $US3 million in the auction, which is scheduled to end April 17.

MJ had secret hitlist of ‘enemies’

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)

MJ’s secret sister JohVonnie reveals her ‘snub’ pain

London, September 14 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s half-sister has revealed that the pop legend wasn’t warm to her when she met him during a family get together.

JohVonnie Jackson, whose mum was a lover of MJ’s dad Joe, is close to her father.

She claims that the Jacksons have shunned her for 35 years but was once invited to the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker’s Neverland ranch in 2003 when the clan got together.

Also, JohVonnie alleges that she wasn’t allowed to talk to either the late singer or her half-sister Janet when she attended their concerts.

“I feel rejected by some of my family. It’s upsetting and hurtful,” the Mirror quoted her as saying.

Referring to her meeting with the late singer she said: “It was a big moment for me. But Michael was looking at me and seemed cold. He just said, ‘Hi’ and then he saw my daughter Yasmine and was fascinated with her.”

Jackson made a mistake pronouncing her niece’s name and called her ‘Jasmine,’ which JohVonnie corrected.

She recollected: “He said, ‘OK, Yasmine with a Y’, and that was it. He never acknowledged that I was his sister, there was no hug or kiss, not even a handshake. No physical contact at all.

“I wanted to embrace him. I thought he would want to go some place quiet and sit and talk with me and ask me about my life and get to know me a little better.

“It was very hurtful. He was not interested at all.

“With my daughter he was totally different. She got hugs and kisses, everything I didn’t get. I was a little jealous. But there was a bunch of people there and I never did get a chance to speak to Michael properly. Again, there was this theme that I felt shut out.”

Apparently, JohVonnie spent that night at a nearby hotel and returned to Neverland the next day but she didn’t get to see her iconic half-brother.

She said: “Michael was in the main house. Yasmine and Paris were off playing for hours. Paris is such a sweet girl.”

Though she said she talked to brother Jermaine and sister Rebbie but insists: “None of my other siblings acknowledged me much.” (ANI)

MJ’s Neverland patent bid ‘dropped’

London, September 12 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s family may heave a sigh of relief since the application to trademark the name “Neverland” has reportedly been withdrawn.

Jackson’s father Joe previously lashed out at proprietors of his son’s Neverland Ranch for applying for a patent for the property without seeking the family’s approval.

According to TMZ.com, executives at private equity firm Colony Capital filed papers with the U.S. Patent Office to trademark four names for use in conjunction with the massive estate, reports the Daily Express.

Joe was left fuming, and even hinted resorting to legal action.

But that may seem unnecessary since it has now emerged that the request was dropped earlier this week. (ANI)

The Michael Jackson Opus will be handbound in leather in a silk clamshell case.

MJ’s siblings raided Neverland over drug addiction reports

London, July 15 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s brother Tito has revealed that he and his siblings once raided the late star’s Neverland ranch to confront the singer over his drug addiction reports.

Tito said that the King of Pop tried his best to keep his use of painkillers from his family, and even ordered his bodyguards to stop his siblings from entering the ranch.

“I never saw him on drugs. Not once. He deliberately did it away from us. He didn’t want his family to know anything about that part of him. He did almost everything in his power to make sure we didn’t know,” the Telegraph quoted Tito as having told the Mirror.

“We had to act. It was me, my sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and my brothers, Jackie and Randy.

“We bust right into the house and he was surprised to see us to say the least. We went into one of his private rooms and had a discussion with him. Some of us were crying.

“We kept asking him if it was true what we had heard that he was using drugs. He kept denying it. He said we were over-reacting. We also spoke to a doctor and he assured us it was not the situation. He said he was there to make sure Michael was healthy,” he added. (ANI)

Jacko’s mother no longer administrator of his estate

London, July 7 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s mother Katharine has lost control over the King of Pop’s estate.

She was named temporary administrator of her son’s assets on June 29.

However, a Los Angeles judge has now given the control to two of the Jacko’s business associates in line with his 2002 will, reports Sky News.

It came after lawyers for the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker’s family said that they were not aware of the existence of a valid will.

However, two days later, two respected business associates of Jackson lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain filed a will that named them as the co-executors of the singer’s estate.

The Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has ruled that Branca and McClain should be placed in charge of Jackson’s assets, which include his Neverland Ranch and rights to ‘The Beatles’ songs, until a new hearing on August 3.

Jacko’s ‘happy family’ pics with Debbie Rowe may swing custody battle

London, July 5 (ANI): The astonishing new pictures showing Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe affectionately hugging and cuddling their two kids Prince and baby Paris can dramatically turn around the custody battle.

The ‘happy family’ pictures could challenge the claims depicting her as the disaffectionate surrogate and rattle reports that she never even visited the children.

Former nurse Rowe was earlier reported to have said that she wants her kids back, however, her lawyer said she still hasn’t taken the final decision yet.

The photos – taken in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills about two weeks after Paris was born in April, 1998 – capture the first moment Rowe held her daughter for the very first time.

According to the photographer, Jacko had taken the tot away from the hospital moments after Rowe gave birth.

“Debbie couldn’t wait to cradle Paris in her arms and Michael was happy to let her,” the News of the World quoted the photographer as saying.

“It wasn’t like he was giving her instructions and a list of what she could and couldn’t do. Debbie was a natural mum from the off. She was talking to the baby saying stuff like, ‘Hello Paris. I’m your mom!’

“In fact, she didn’t want to put the little thing down, holding her as she was walking around the room and sitting down with her on a sofa. She wasn’t just holding her for the photographs.

“At one point she was gently rocking Paris in her arms and humming a lullaby to her. It was a very special mother-and-baby moment. Paris was asleep in her mother’s arms and looked very contented.

“It was obvious that Debbie loved her children and there was a strong connection between them. It looked like she was treasuring every second, laughing, kissing and playing with them for about two hours.

A second similar set of photographs was taken a few weeks later when Debbie visited her children at his Neverland ranch.

“Debbie was just as happy and relaxed at the second photoshoot. People may think she was an emotionally cold and uncaring woman to be able to walk away from her children.

“But if you saw her with them you’d realise there was much more to it than that,” the photographer added. (ANI)

Jacko’s Neverland Ranch returns to former glory

London, July 4 (ANI): In what could be called as an overnight transformation, Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch has been restored to its former glory, thanks to his brother Jermaine’s efforts.

It is believed that the 2,500-acre estate, which used to be the late King of Pop’s spiritual home, could even become a Jacko Disneyland for his adoring fans.

Although much of the furniture at the Peter Pan fantasy world had already been stripped out to help pay his debts, areas such as the huge cinema where he watched endless Disney cartoons, have remained untouched.
A replica of the famous Disneyland train station, which youngsters used for the ride to Jacko’s personal theme park, also still stands.

And now, in a bid to make it the King Of Pop’s final resting place, Jackson family has ordered cleaners, decorators and handymen to bring back the lost glory to the 60million pounds property.

“This is his creation. This is his wonder and his joy, his happiness, his peace. And I feel him everywhere. It’s like he’s never left,’ the Daily Star quoted Jermaine, 54, as saying.

The superstar quit the California ranch in 2005 after his child molestation trial, and the site quickly fell into disrepair after Jacko was unable to pay staff.

But since his death, fans have flocked to its gates, covering them in flowers, photos and notes.

California officials are standing firm that Jacko must be buried in a real cemetery.

However, Jacko fans are pleading for an exemption to allow the ranch to become a shrine like the one created for Elvis Presley in Graceland, Tennessee. (ANI)

Jacko hired ‘day team and night team’ of nannies for Prince Michael

New Delhi, July 4 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson, who died of a suspected cardiac arrest last week, had reportedly employed a “day team and night team” of nannies to look after his eldest son Prince Michael.

The ‘Thriller’ sensation was said to be desperate to ensure that Prince Michael was properly cared for after his birth in 1997, and thus hired 12 people so that someone would always be with his son, reports the China Daily.

“The baby was cared for by a team of six nannies and six nurses, who worked in shifts so that there were always two nurses and two nannies by his side,” a source who worked at Michael’s Neverland Ranch said.

“They were kept under constant video surveillance, which was monitored by members of Jackson’s security team. The nannies all had special training.

“The day-team did exercise drills with the baby to build up his strength. The night-team read and sang to him,” the source added.

Concerned about his child’s well-being, adds the newspaper report, Jackson even ordered the nannies to throw away the boy’s toys each evening to guard against germs.

A nanny revealed: “We had to measure the air quality in his room once an hour. When we fed him, all the utensils had to be boiled and were all thrown away after a single use.”

Prince Michael was the singer’s first child with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe. (ANI)
