one good thing...michael would have been so pleased that people are showing so much love now. so many were 'down on him' over those stupid trials and over him 'taking paul's songs'. i never stopped loving and believing in him. he was really a part of our everyday life...that i will miss. i think about him everyday. hopefully, tuesday will bring some kind of closure as this all still feels surreal. |

I told you people the stories maybe hundred times. Let me tell you again. Since I was little, I use listen to The Jackson Five. I use to sing I will be there as a little girl. At age 11, I went to this foster home. They were Jehovah witness. In on Kingdom Hall they were disfollowship for feeding a disfollowship man. Therefore, they went to another kingdom Hall and told their stories and how they were disfollowship for feed another disfollowship person who was starving. This was in Canoga park, Los angles California. My foster mother daughter already attend the kingdom hall and said, that Michael Jackson went their. Well, they told me that. So, the night to go there I was excited. We got there I looked around I did not see Michael. After being there for a little bit in walk Michael and his family. I stared at him with my eyes big and my month wide open. Poor Michael he stared at me like what is wrong with her. My eyes followed him until he sat down in his seat. My foster sister Karen came over to me and I bag her to induce me to Michael. Therefore, she went up to Reba and told her that I like to meet her brother. Therefore, she told me to just go up there. In addition, talk to him. I said, I cannot and, she said, why not, He is a person just like you and me. I said, again I cannot. So, Reba said, come on. In addition, she took me to her family and explains I was Karen’s foster sister. First, I shook Michael mom hand then the magic touch I shock Michael hand. and, he was shy didn't talk much so I ask, him how old he was he said, 17 I said, oh I thought you were my age and I said, :( :blush: Being young and didn't know what to say. "Oh, you are old." he did not say anything except smiled. Well, I did the same thing to randy too. However, I told Janet she was young. After, that I went and sat down during church I tried to hear Michael sing. However, though everyone I could not. When church was over Michael was shaken everyone’s hand Good Bye. I decided not to go back up to him. I did not want to make him feel UN easy I thought. I went to the kingdom Hall a few times after that. I did not see Michael. I end up getting remove from that foster home. Because, I cuss and my foster mother slap me in the month and I fell. Well, when she went help me up I thought she was going hit me again so, I slugged her. In self-defense. I felt made for years for doing that. I thought Michael did not go back to the kingdom Hall because, of me saying he was old too. I know, this sounds silly. However, for long time I even blame my self for saying he was old for him getting surgery. I know, It ridiculous. However, that thought did cross my mind. People ask, why I think Micheal is a good person. the few minutes I meet him I knew he was a good person. I felt he was. |

Dotty, thanks for repeating that story. I'm not sure where I was the other hundred times you told it, but this is all new to me. :blush: I'm sure Michael had other reasons for all of his plastic surgeries. He probably got a good laugh out of a young child telling him he was old. He probably appreciated your honesty, something he probably rarely got from all the bootlickers that surrounded him. :( |

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b132712_lapd_gives_more_jackson_memorial_details.html?utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories LAPD Gives More Jackson Memorial Details Today 1:47 PM PDT Jed Jacobsohn/ Getty Images, Telegraph UK/ ZUMA Press Don't say we didn't warn you: If you don't have a ticket to the Michael Jackson memorial, don't go downtown. The Los Angeles Police Department held a briefing Sunday morning to discuss the ever expanding list of details surrounding Tuesday's events and once again, police advised fans to stay home. City officials are not naive to the expected non-ticket-holding turnout. The specific number of fans anticipated to converge downtown is a "great unknown," but looking to the past offers some idea. The funerals of other well-known icons, Elvis and Princess Diana, drew some 75,000 and 250,000 mourners, respectively, and taking into consideration Jackson's worldwide fame, the LAPD is prepping for several hundred thousand fans. Officials are still in the planning process, but made clear that unless you are a designated ticket holder or credentialed press member, you will not be allowed in the "safe zone." The "safe zone" boundaries will make much more sense to locals, but for out-of-town attendees, this area constitutes North Olympic Blvd., South Pico Blvd. and East and West Blaine St.—basically, the perimeter of Staples Center. No further details of the Forest Lawn funeral service were provided, except that there are no plans for a family motorcade on Tuesday. There was also discussion of the efforts officials are putting into maintaining a respectful distance around the area for memorial proceedings. ___________ Be there as the world says good-bye to the King of Pop. Watch the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT live on E! and E! Online by Megan Masters and Lindsay Miller |

Getting a clearer picture of the memorial: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090706/ap_on_en_mu/us_michael_jackson Jackson memorial performers announced as LA braces By JESSE WASHINGTON, AP National Writer Jesse Washington, Ap National Writer 8 mins ago LOS ANGELES – The stage was set Monday for Michael Jackson's final act as the world capital of make-believe braced for what could be the biggest, gaudiest celebrity send-off of all time. Ecstatic fans who won the lottery for seats at Tuesday's all-star memorial received the tickets and spangly wristbands that will get them into the 20,000-seat Staples Center downtown. The family announced the participants will include Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Usher, Lionel Richie, Kobe Bryant, Jennifer Hudson, John Mayer and Martin Luther King III. The legal maneuvering that marked Jackson's extraordinary and troubled life also continued on Monday, with his mother losing a bid to control his enormous but tangled estate. And in one of the few sour notes sounded, a New York congressman branded Jackson a "pervert" undeserving of so much attention. More than 1.6 million people registered for free tickets to the 10 a.m. memorial, which will be broadcast live worldwide. A total of 8,750 people were chosen to receive two tickets each. The lucky ones picked up their passes Monday at Dodger Stadium amid heavy police presence. "I got the golden ticket!" one fan screamed out of his car window in a Willy Wonka moment as he drove out of the parking lot. "My mother loves Elvis. This is my Elvis," said Mynor Garcia, 29, who picked up his tickets. Downtown hotels were quickly filling. Police, trying to avoid a mob scene downtown, warned those without tickets to stay away because they would not be able to get close to the Staples Center. British Airways reported a surge of bookings as soon as the memorial arrangements were announced. Virgin's trans-Atlantic flights to San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles were all packed with fans and VIPs, said spokesman Paul Charles. No Paul so far, as had been rumored "I think this is America's version of Princess Diana. People want to be in the vicinity. People from the UK and elsewhere want to share their emotions together," Charles said. The family is also expected to hold a private funeral Tuesday morning at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles. No public funeral procession through city streets is scheduled. Some family members have expressed a desire to bury Jackson someday at Neverland, his storybook estate in Southern California. That would require legal permission. In Los Angeles Superior Court, meanwhile, a judge appointed Jackson's longtime attorney and a family friend as administrators of his estate over the objections of his mother, Katherine. Attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain had been designated in Jackson's 2002 will as the people he wanted to oversee his empire. Mrs. Jackson's attorneys expressed concerns about McClain and Branca's financial leadership. "Frankly, Mrs. Jackson has concerns about handing over the keys to the kingdom," said one of her attorneys, John E. Schreiber. Another one of her attorneys, Burt Levitch, told Judge Mitchell Beckloff that Branca had previously been removed from financial positions of authority by Jackson. Branca's attorney said he was rehired by Jackson on June 17, days before Jackson's death. Branca and McClain will have to post a $1 million bond on the estate, and their authority will expire Aug. 3, when another hearing will be held. "Mr. Branca and Mr. McClain for the next month are at the helm of the ship," the judge said. Jackson died at age 50 with hundreds of millions in debts. But a court filing estimates his estate is worth more than $500 million. His assets are destined for a trust, with his three children, his mother and charities as beneficiaries. On eBay, bids for the memorial tickets were reaching as high as $3,000, though it was impossible to establish how serious those offers were. On Craigslist, asking prices also were in the thousands. Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of Jackson's two oldest children, had planned to attend the memorial but backed out Monday. "The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael's legacy," her attorney Marta Almli said in a statement. "Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael's memory privately." In New York, Republican Rep. Peter King released a YouTube video calling Jackson, who was acquitted of child molestation charges, a "pervert" and a "low-life." But the memories of Jackson's problems were far from the minds of fans preparing to say goodbye. "It's the passing of a great soul," said Matt Tyson, 31, of Ojai, Calif. "He brought people together, helped express something that's in us all." In a convergence of events that many people found delightfully symbolic, the circus is also coming to town. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey starts a run at Staples Center on Wednesday. In the predawn hours before Jackson's memorial, the elephants will walk from the train station into the arena. ___ No Paul so far, as had been rumored. Did hear this morning that Mariah Carey will likely sing "I'll Be There." Heard a very disturbing story from Harvey Levin, from TMZ.com. He was on the radio this morning, he does this nearly every week in LA, and he said that this Dr. Murray, who lives on the rented estate, waited 30 minutes before calling the EMT's. 30 minutes! Apparently he didn't know the address so waited until he found the address. That is just f*cking insane! I guess he doesn't know that the 911 system is pretty efficient and knows where you're calling from when using a landline! Unbelievable! He also stated that he talked to the doctor's lawyer who emphatically stated that the doc did not give MJ any demerol or oxycontin but no word on drug that likely killed MJ. I hope that the AMA takes his license away and that this doctor is arrested on at least neglience or manslaughter! Apparently it was the police interview that he did that made the police search the house for drugs. Jillian, I hope you got my text message about KRTH giving some tix away to the memorial. If you did, I wish you luck. I know how important this is to you. :hug: |
