Michael Jackson New Album Rodney "Dark Child" Jerkins


Michael Jackson left producer Rodney "Dark Child" Jerkins with a lot of unreleased material when he unexpectedly passed back in June of 2009. Rodney Jerkins was a long time producer for Michael Jackson and the two had a strong personal relationship as well. Now, Rodney Jerkins is compiling a new Michael Jackson album using the unreleased tracks of new material that he produced with Michael Jackson. In a current interview, Rodney Jerkins spoke about the project and the politics involved in releasing it. “You know there is a lot of red tape, but it's definitely going to happen.” Dark Child also discussed the different sides of Michael Jackson in the interview. Not very many people got full insight into the business mind of Michael Jackson as well as experience his personal side. “Michael was quiet with people he didn't know,” Jerkins said. “But Michael and I used to kick it in Miami and we kicked it in New York all the time...I knew a little about publishing when I came into the game at 16, but when I started working with Michael I was 20 and he taught me about buying publishing and acquiring a catalog at a young age."

Michael Jackson: Michael Jackson's Home To Become Open To Public


If you're a Michael Jackson fan you might be in luck his former home aka Neverland Ranch might become a state park which means you may be able to visit his home. According to reports, plans have been made to make the land, which is co owned by the Jackson family and a private equity firm Colony Capital, available to the public. Residents have previously protested against making the site a tourist attraction, but if all the plans go ahead fans will be able to visit the King of Pop's former residence. California assemblyman, Mike Davis, told Associated Press: "Given that we have an economic shortfall... I suspect it would be difficult for the State Parks Department to purchase the property alone... I am committed to finding out all details possible to make this a good proposal". Although it was his home, Jacko did move out of the house in 2005 after it was raided for evidence after his 2003 arrest for child molestation charges.

Michael Jackson: Wanted His Monkey to Talk!


MICHAEL Jackson wanted his pet chimp Bubbles to talk — according to the tragic singer’s sister, LaToya.
LaToya claims the Thriller hitmaker — who died last year after suffering a heart attack following an accident drugs overdose — spent a fortune trying to get leading throat specialists to implant vocal chords into his furry friend.
Michael always wanted to know how to make Bubbles speak and talk,” she told Britain’s News of The World.
“They definitely communicated. One morning Michael called me said ‘You got to see this — he mimics everything I do’. So Michael starts brushing his teeth and Bubbles looks up and gets a tooth brush and starts brushing his teeth too.
“Then he wanted to give him vocal chords and asked doctors ‘Can I give him an operation so that I can know what his thoughts are’.”
Michael had to let Bubbles move out of the family home in Encino, California, when he got too big in 1988.
“The trainers who came to the house felt the situation wasn’t normal and he shouldn’t be there,” said La Toya.
“Bubbles became extremely strong. When he was younger he would slap you and it would not hurt. But now they could knock you out. Sometimes he would swing on a chandelier and fly onto a table, and Michael would scream ‘no, no’.”

Michael Jackson's This is It, China welcomes



Michael Jackson's , the concert film This is it showing rehearsals for his 02 arena gigs, will screen across China later this month after securing official blessing from the Chinese authorities, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Each year, only 20 or so films made outside China are allowed into the country, though there is a roaring trade in pirated DVDs. This Is It has obviously taken one of the last slots available for 2009, and will open on 28 October, in line with the rest of the world.
A digest of interviews, rehearsals and backstage capture of Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold out shows in London, High School Musical's Kenny Ortega This Is It is directed, a long time collaborator with the late singer. Jackson suffered a heart attack at his home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, on 25 June.
While only a few Western films screen legally in China each year, the number of cinemas in the country is mushrooming, and appetite for Hollywood fare is enormous. Earlier this year Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took over 400 million Chinese yuan to break the box office record previously held by James Cameron's Titanic.
But a homegrown epic, China's Foundation of the great cause, released last month to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic of China, looks on course to challenge that figure.

At Time Of Death Michael Jackson Was Reportedly Healthy


Despite reports that he was painfully thin and frail and allegedly had a unhurt addiction to prescription medications, a Los Angeles County coroner's office report on Michael Jackson claims the 50 year old singer was in excellent health at the time of his death in June.
According to a copy of the report obtained by The Associated Press, Jackson's arms were covered with puncture wounds and the autopsy showed that his lungs were chronically inflamed and had a reduced capacity that might have left the once energetic performer short of breath. But the result claims that the singer was in fairly good condition at the time that he died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol in June. Though some stories claimed he was around a skeletal 105 pounds at the time of his death, the autopsy document says he weighed 136 pounds, which is in an saticfactory range for a 5 foot 9 man. The report also said his heart was strong with no sign of plaque buildup.
The official results of the autopsy on Jackson have not been released, pending the completion of the police investigation into his death, but officials have concluded that he died of "acute propofol intoxication." The AP claimed it had obtained a copy of the autopsy report but did not reveal how it came into possession of the document, which coroner's officials told MTV News is under a security hold until police finish their probe. It was unclear from the AP story if the document is the final autopsy report or a preliminary document. The spokesperson for the L.A. County coroner's office could not be reached for comment at press time, but an employee told MTV News the office would not be making any comment on the report.
The report said Jackson's kidneys and most of his other major organs were normal and that the lung condition, while notable, wasn't serious enough to be a direct or contributing cause of death. Jackson did have some other chronic conditions that were notable but also not life threatening, including arthritis in the lower spine and some fingers and mild plaque buildup in his leg arteries.
Jackson died at a rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25 shortly after his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, gave him propofol and two other sedatives to help the singer get to sleep. Murray is at the center of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles police that has included raids on his home and offices in Las Vegas and a storage unit and clinic in Texas. Murray's attorney has stated that the doctor did not give Jackson anything that "should have" killed him.
The autopsy report detailed the heroic efforts employed to try and revive Jackson, including chest bruising and cracked ribs from CPR and the use of a mechanical device called a balloon pump that was inserted into Jackson's heart to try and restart it, according to the AP.
The autopsy findings appear to head off a potential defense for Murray should he be charged in the case: that Jackson had serious pre-existing conditions, which increased his risk of death from the drugs he willingly took. Jackson was in the midst of vigorous rehearsals for a planned series of 50 comeback concerts at the O2 arena in London at the time of his death. While some reports claimed the singer was too frail and unhealthy to pull off the shows, the autopsy results indicate that, aside from the lung issue, Jackson did not have any serious physical problems that might have hampered his ability to perform.
Among the other details in the autopsy report:
» Jackson had a 3/4-inch scar behind his left ear and another apparent scar behind his right ear, a scar beside each of his nostrils and another 4-inch scar on his right shoulder. He also had a pair of scars about 3 inches long at the base of his neck and smaller scars on his arms and wrist, a small scar in the region of his naval and a 2-inch scar on the right hand side of his abdomen. A doctor not affiliated with the case told the AP that most of the scars appeared to be from plastic surgery, though some, such as the one on the knee, could have been from a different medical procedure.
» The medical examiner found numerous punctures on both arms and on a knee and ankle.
» Jackson had a number of cosmetic tattoos, including dark tattoos around his eyebrows and under his eyes and a pink tattoo around his lips.
» The singer was going bald at the front of his head, with his remaining hair described as short and tightly curled. The bald portion of his scalp was darkened with what appeared to be a tattoo that stretched across the top of his head from ear to ear.

'Michael Jackson Tapes' details star's obsessions



ENGLEWOOD, N.J. – Pop superstar Michael Jackson feared the ravages of old age, sought the company of sycophants and appeared to be abusing prescription drugs and cosmetic surgery nearly a decade before his death, according to a new book by a former adviser.
"The Michael Jackson Tapes" breaks little in the way of new ground but the book by Shmuley Boteach, based on 30 hours of taped interviews, provides firsthand detail about the performer's excesses and obsessions.
"I don't want to be seen now," Jackson confessed. "Because I am like a lizard. It is horrible."
Jackson died June 25 at age 50. His death is being treated as a homicide.
The self-described "King of Pop" seemed to sense during the interviews in 2000 and 2001 that his life was winding down.
"I would like some way to disappear where people don't see me anymore at some point," Jackson said. "I don't want to grow old. I never want to look in the mirror and see that."
"He lost the will to live," Boteach said Friday on NBC's "Today" show. "I think he was just going through the motions of life toward the end."
Boteach is an orthodox Jewish rabbi who has written self-help books with names like "Kosher Sex" and "Shalom in the Home." He was introduced to Jackson in 1999 through Uri Geller, a British entertainer, and acted as his confidant for many years. At times, the transcribed tapes sound like counseling sessions.
Boteach said he and Jackson recorded the tapes with the idea of giving the public a more accurate image of the reclusive entertainer. Boteach said he soured on the book — originally slated for release in 2003 Boteach said Jackson began pushing him away as he criticized his departure from the recovery program they had set up — improvements that included waking up at a decent hour and not being alone with kids other than Jackson's own, for public relations purposes.
The friendship ended with Jackson's second arrest on charges of sexually abusing a child. Boteach said he resurrected the project after Jackson died because attitudes toward him had softened.
In conversations, Jackson is quick to see himself as a victim and quick to criticize relatives — especially his father, who, Jackson said, beat him with an electric cord.
"He was rough," Jackson says of his father. "The way he would beat you hard, you know, was hard."
Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for the Jackson family, said Friday: "We will not dignify this with a comment."
The book makes it clear Jackson was interested in women sexually but very shy. He tells Boteach he had never asked a woman out on a date, although he admitted to having sexually charged phone conversations with Madonna.
In recounting one conversation, he said: "Madonna laid down the law to me before we went out," saying, "'I am not going to Disneyland, okay? That's out.'"
Jackson said Madonna was jealous of him because his female fans screamed and swooned while her male fans were less demonstrative. He recalled her crying in admiration at one of his concerts.
When contacted Friday, Madonna's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, said, "Madonna has very fond feelings for Michael Jackson, and I don't think anything in the book is going to change that."

Deep voice Michael Jackson


Michael Jackson "talked tough" and had a deep voice.
According to one of the late pop superstar's closest guys, concert promoter David Gest, Jackson's real voice was heavy and powerful and nothing like the high-pitched whimper he used when speaking publicly.
Gest said: "I'm showing an interview I did with Michael that shows him talking in his actual voice, like, 'C'mon David, let's get it done now.' "
Mimicking Jackson's famous high pitched tone, he added: "You know he doesn't talk like, 'Hi, how are you?' He talks very, very tough. I'm telling you the truth."
Fans were shocked earlier this year when Jackson announced his This Is It London residency in an unusually deep voice which prompted speculation as to whether an imitatory had appeared instead of the 'King of Pop'.
Gest, 56, is making a documentary called My Best guys Michael which he promises will gig this actual side of the Thriller singer.
Since his untimely passing in June, Gest has been in regular contact with the Jackson family, and revealed Jackson's mother Katherine is struggling with the loss of her son.

Appearing on British TV show Live From Studio Five, Gest who had Jackson as his best man when he married Liza Minnelli in 2002 said: "I went to the funeral about two months ago and I speak to his mother about every week.
"It's very hard on Mrs Jackson, to bury a son when a son's supposed to bury a mother. She's trying to cope, but she's a very strong woman, she helped raise me when I was a kid."

Michael Jackson's cause of death 'within hours'


The Los Angeles County Coroner will release details of Michael Jackson's cause of death within hours, a leading entertainment website is reporting.
TMZ, which broke the story of the pop star's death in Los Angeles on June 25, claims that the autopsy report will not be depatured, but that the world will learn what the coroner believes killed Jackson, who had become addicted to a lethal standard of a hospital grade anaesthetic known as propofol as an insomnia medication.
The coroner is also anticipated to announce whether Jackson's death should be classed as homicide, news of which will be of specific interest to Conrad Murray, his Grenada born personal physician, who faces the expectation of pursuance for his part in the singer's decease.
At the heart of an ongoing police investigation are questions of where the drug was obtained, where Dr Murray was at the time Jackson was dying telephone records are said to show him being on the phone for 47 minutes after the singer stopped breathing and why it took 82 minutes for him to call an ambulance.

For Dr Murray, who was struggling with heavy debts before taking the job with Jackson, the result of tonight's revelations could be dire. Even if he is charged with involuntary manslaughter one of the mildest forms of homicide he would become the star suspect in one of the trials of the century and could face a protracted prison sentence.

doctor's lawyer rejects 'police theory' to Michael Jackson


An attorney for the late singer's former doctor, Conrad Murray, has removed claims that he deserted his patient after administering a powerful anaesthetic.

The lawyer for Michael Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray, has rejected "police theory" having to do with the singer's death. Ed Chernoff disputed that his costomer had made confident reported assertion, or that he left Jackson's side after administering the anaesthetic Propofol.
Though Jackson's autopsy results remain secured, details of the police investigation were disclose in search authorization obtained earlier this week. These documents offer a timeline of Murray's actions on 25 June, the morning Jackson died, citing testimony by Murray himself. Yesterday, Chernoff removed several of these claims, admitting that while "much (the report) is factual ... much is police theory".
According to disclosed documents, Murray was treating Jackson for insomnia but had grown concerned that the star was complusive to Propofol. After trying a cocktail of safer sedatives overnight on 24-25 June, Murray allegedly assent with another to administer the more troubling anaesthetic. Murray monitored Jackson for 10 minutes and then left to use the bathroom. When he refunded at 11am Jackson had stopped breathing. "Lethal levels" of Propofol were found in Jackson's body, according to the Los Angeles coroner's office.
Chernoff dismissed certain appearances of this account. "The timeline reported by law application was not obtained through interviews with Dr Murray, as was by the affidavit," he said. "Dr Murray simply never told investigators that he found Jackson at 11am not breathing."
The search warrant also claimed that Murray deserted the unconscious Jackson to make phonecalls to family and other doctors. "Dr Murray never said that he left Jackson's room to make phone calls," Chernoff insisted.
The lawyer for Jackson's mother, Katherine, also act in answer to something to this week's reports. "This reaffirms the sad reality that there was a tragic and gross violation of duty and care for Michael Jackson," L Londell McMillan said. "There is obvious legal culpability, which has been the concern of Michael's mother, family and fans worldwide."
