Michael Jackson's bodyguards reveal superstar's financial problems before his death

2010-03-09T03:16:00.000-08:00

A NEARLY-PENNILESS Michael Jackson reportedly took out all his financial frustrations on those who were hired to protect him, the New York Post reported on Monday.

A nearly-penniless Michael Jackson reportedly took out all his financial frustrations on those who were hired to protect him, the New York Post reported on Monday.

The King of Pop's former bodyguards told ABC News that the late singer was plagued by financial woes over the last few years of his life, which led to emotional fits.

"We were asked to leave hotels because the credit card on file was denied," bodyguard Bill Whitfield told Good Morning America in an interview that will air on Tuesday.

"The bill wasn't paid," added former bodyguard Mike Garcia.

"We smile about it, but it's really more painful and hurtful," said Whitfield.
The bodyguards said that Jackson may have appeared soft-spoken in public, but would fly into fits of rage in private.

"He got so frustrated he threw my cell phone out the window, through the window and broke the glass," recalled Whitfield.

"And he looked at me and said, 'Bill, you're going to need a new phone.'"

The bodyguards recounted how they were also responsible for protecting Jackson's three kids - Prince, Paris and Blanket - from seeing images of their father on magazine covers.

"I'll be ahead of him, because I know he's coming this way, and I'm looking at magazine racks that may have something about him on them and I'll turn it around," said Whitfield.

"Sometimes he's seen them, and you would actually see him take it and turn them around so the kids didn't see them."

Jackson, 50, died last June 25 in his Los Angeles home after taking a lethal combination of anesthetics and sedatives.

Dr Conrad Murray, his personal physician, was charged last month with manslaughter in the singer's death after administering the cocktail of drugs.

Murray, who was with Jackon when he died, has told cops he administered the powerful anesthetic propofol to the singer that fateful morning.

Jackson had a level of propofol in his system equivalent to what would be used in "major surgery," according to the scathing autopsy report, which was made public last month.

Michael Jackson’s three children are "being raised in a chaotic environment devoid of discipline and parental supervision", a report on RadarOnline.com reads.
Jackson’s three children; Prince, 13, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 8, have been living at the Jackson family Hayvenhurst home in which more than a dozen family members live with their 80-year-old grandmother Katherine Jackson.

According to the report the other children living in the house are out of control.

And the source blames Jermaine and Randy Jackson.

“Jermaine and Randy [Jackson] are not raising their kids.”

Recently, several incidents, including one in which Michael’s son Blanket was allegedly chased with a stun gun by Jermaine’s 13-year-old son Jaafar, are raising red flags and have led to a Department of Children and Family Services investigation.

The chaos in the house is beyond Katherine’s ability to control, it was reported.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson's two older children, visited the late King of Pop's final resting place Thursday.

Wearing dark shades and visibly emotional, Rowe paid a visit to Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA. Rowe was granted access to the cemetery, but did not gain access to the mausoleum because of security restrictions that only allow people who are on an approved list to enter.

A source close to Rowe tells "The Insider" Rowe still loves Jackson and is continuing to grieve his loss months after his sudden June 25 death. The source tells "The Insider" that despite a judge's ruling that granted her visitation rights to see "Prince" Michael and Paris Jackson, Rowe has not been allowed to visit with the children.

Rowe did not attend Jackson's public memorial service last summer or his subsequent private burial service.

Michael Jackson Filmography

2010-03-04T10:30:00.000-08:00

Date of Birth: 29 August 1958, Gary, Indiana, USA

Date of Death:25 June 2009, Los Angeles, California, USA

Mini Biography:American superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, on August 29, 1958, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine (Scruse). Together they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in.

A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of The Jackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy's attention, and by 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," etc.). As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations to a disco phenomenon.

Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had much better luck with elaborate music videos.

In the 1990s, the downside as an 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his peerless celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically, and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages -- one to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley -- were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes behind them appeared image-oriented. Despite it all, Michael Jackson's passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman are unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his seriously troubled adult life.

For it all to end on June 25, 2009, with his sudden death at age 50 of a drug-induced cardiac arrest, just as he was coming out of a four-year reclusive period and rehearsing for a sold-out London concert "comeback" in July, seems uncommonly cruel and tragic. Millions upon millions of dedicated fans will remember where they were "the day Michael died".

Goodrem, Sebastian to sing Jackson duet

2010-03-01T06:58:00.000-08:00

Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian will perform their first duet of Michael Jackson's Earth Song in a tribute to the King of Pop attended by his brother Jackie Jackson.

In a special event to launch the DVD of Michael Jackson's This Is It, Goodrem and Sebastian will join director Kenny Ortega, co-director and choreographer Travis Payne and the Michael Jackson principal dancers for a concert tribute in Sydney on Tuesday night.
"We just got asked to be a part of it and it's more than an honour," said Goodrem, who returned to Australia from Los Angeles on the weekend.
"I was like, I'm flying back, I'll be there in a second.
"Hopefully we'll do (the song) justice in some way."
It is the first time Goodrem and Sebastian have performed together after years of friendship - but there are no plans to record their version of Earth Song together.
"I said to him last year it would be great to have a moment doing a duet together, and then this came up.
"But I think this is a one-off event and very special."
Listening will be Jackie Jackson, one of the original Jackson Five and Michael's older brother.
He will also accept a special award on behalf of This Is It.
Jackie said he made the trip to Australia for the event to support everyone involved in the project.
"It's kind of exciting for me to have this event, because it means a lot that This Is It, the movie, did wonderful here," he said.
"I had to come out (to Australia) because I'm very much part of it, it's my family, and I'm supporting the family and Michael's kids."
The DVD of This Is It features previously unseen footage from the documentary concert film and insights into Jackson's creative process.
This Is It choreographer Payne went on to work with Lady Gaga on her Monster's Ball tour after Jackson's death, and revealed that the new pop sensation was originally going to be a part of the show.
"It was Michael who actually turned me on to Lady Gaga," he said.
"We were doing the short-list for This Is It for people he would like to invite - obviously the brothers, obviously Janet, obviously Ms Ross, Ms Knight and Mariah, and we talked about Whitney.
"I said, is there anybody else you would like to add to the list? And he said Lady Gaga. I said really? He said, oh yeah, she's amazing. You've got to get into her."
Payne said Lady Gaga was moved when he told her the story, and everything they did for her tour was in the spirit of Michael Jackson.
"He was the one who really opened my eyes to her artistry, because he noticed it long before she had this explosion that she's had now," he said.

Michael Jackson Guitarist Slams Gene Simmons' Child Abuse Accusations

February 27, 2010, (Sawf News) - Michael Jackson's former tour guitarist has slammed Gene Simmons' recent allegations against the King of Pop.

In an interview earlier this month, Simmons told Classic Rock that a musician friend had quit a Michael Jackson tour after 'seeing boys coming out of the hotel rooms'.

But Jennifer Batten, who accompanied Jackson on all three of his world tours, says the allegations are untrue and that nobody ever left a Jackson tour after it hit the road.

She said: "Number one, there's no truth to it. Number two, I would guess that it was somebody who got fired. Somebody who was embarrassed that they got fired and so they made up a story."

Batten added that only two musicians were ever fired and they were let go 'like a week before we took out on the road', meaning that they couldn't have witnessed anything going on inside hotels.

The guitarist also blasted the media for widely publishing inaccurate stories, saying that after Jacksons death, "They were respectful for about two or three hours and then they turned it into a tabloid festival... It's all about money now, not about truth. People can be very cold."

Shahid Kapoor will become Michael Jackson for 8 minutes

2010-02-27T12:35:00.000-08:00

Michael Jackson, who passed away, last year, was, undoubtedly, one of the greatest performers to ever grace the stage. The ‘King of Pop’ died prematurely and his death brought tears to the eyes of almost every music lover.

But, come Saturday, and you will be witness to the resurrection of the legendary dancer. Because, Shahid Kapoor will be stepping into his shoes and pay a heartfelt tribute to Jackson in his own style. It’d be an uphill task for Shahid to bring out the magic that Michael used to unleash on his mesmerized audience but, nevertheless, Shahid is a top-notch dancer and his homage to the revered pop singer is praiseworthy.

And, if you wanna be witness to Michael’s resurrection in the body of Shahid, then book your seats for the 55th Filmfare Awards to be held this Saturday on 27th February, 2010.

Shahid Kapoor is devoted towards his dancing and has always been an ardent Michael Jackson fan (after all, who isn’t) and an excited Shahid says,

“The Filmfare organisers felt I could do the Michael Jackson tribute. And I took up the challenge. We didn’t have much time to rehearse, only four days. But I’ve grown up watching MJ’s music videos, am a huge fan, so it wasn’t difficult to master the choreography. I will be paying a tribute, not copying MJ. But it is better not to adulterate his steps.”

And his performance will be a live one. “Yes, I’ll be going live… an eight-minute homage,” he adds.

So, for those 8 minutes, Shahid Kapoor will become Michael Jackson as he gears up to give the most significant and soulful performance of his life…….

Michael Jackson death tape appears online

2010-02-27T12:34:00.000-08:00

A new Michael Jackson video has appeared online - one which has recorded paramedics declaring the pop legend dead.

Femalefirst.co.uk reports that the tape, which is believed to feature a Los Angeles Fire Department medical calling ahead to the UCLA Hospital in Santa Monica, could be used as an evidence in the trial against Jackson's personal physician Conrad Murray who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

The voice in the tape said: "Patient is Michael Jackson, the pop star singer. No pulse, no breathing. Unresponsive. Tried to resuscitate him. Unsuccessful. We've done everything we can. We should be there in five minutes. It doesn't look good. It doesn't look good."

The tape was found on ambulance workers' web forum and is believed to be the first time the announcement was made that Jackson was dead on June 25 last year, although authorities do not yet know whether it is genuine.

"I couldn't confirm that it is one of our workers. It could be. They refer to 'pop star Michael Jackson' but it is not our practice to name names," said an LAFD

Legal team wary of Jackson prosecutors

2010-02-23T03:04:00.001-08:00

THE legal team of Conrad Murray, the doctor charged with involuntary homicide over the death of Michael Jackson, said LA prosecutors are being "suspiciously slow" in turning over documents to them, reports said today.

Reports on celebrity gossip website TMZ said Conrad's defence team are skeptical about the delay from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

"The prosecution had eight months to accumulate their evidence and we still haven't received it. Something here isn't right," one source told TMZ.

A spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office dismissed any suggestion of impropriety as "ridiculous," telling TMZ, "There are hundreds of documents that are being stamped and when the process is completed, they will be turned over."

It comes after reports claimed Jackson had boasted that his doctor was the "best in the world", telling aides, "I trust this guy with my life" just two days before he was killed by drugs administered by Murray.
A report in the News of the World on Sunday revealed how Jackson, who died of a Propofol overdose on June 25, 2009, praised cardiologist Murray as he prepared for a dress rehearsal at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on June 23, 2009.

Jackson had also insisted the doctor was paid almost $3 million for his round-the-clock services during the This Is It concerts - threatening to pull out if his demands were not met.

He’s Tiger Woods, but he’s also Michael Jackson

2010-02-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

It’s official now. Tiger Woods is in pursuit of a second legacy.

The image-battered golfer might just catch Jack Nicklaus’ record for major championships and Michael Jackson’s descent into pop-culture weirdness.

As of this writing, I’ve had 30-plus hours to digest and multiple opportunities to rewatch Woods’ waterboarding-inspired, sexual-infidelity apology that was transmitted across the globe.

Objective eyes and ears were shocked at what they saw and heard.

The cuddly tyke introduced to America at age 2 on “The Mike Douglas Show” and marketed to the world by his father, Earl Woods, and Nike as the boy-next-door who might save the planet has somewhat predictably evolved into a no-people-skills freak.

I cannot stress to you how much it pains me to write this. You would be hard-pressed to find a more passionate fan of Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods than yours truly.

But it’s impossible to deny that fame, fortune, corporate manipulators and fathers hell bent on producing once-in-a-lifetime entertainers stripped Jackson and Woods of anything approaching normalcy when it comes to human interaction.

Perhaps pale from being away from the golf course and stuck in hibernation born of embarrassment, Woods’ complexion on Friday even resembled Jackson’s late-life hue.

At the height of their popularity and earning power, the King of Pop and the King of Swing were both shot down by stories of sexual impropriety. The child-molestation allegations leveled against Jackson were obviously far more heinous than the noncriminal extramarital affairs currently dogging Woods, but the image damage seems just the same.

Before their controversies, Jackson and Woods had positioned themselves as racially transcendent superstars. Crotch-grabbing and brief, on-course tantrums were as controversial as Jackson and Woods got.

Now they’re polarizing.

The dubious and money-driven attacks on Jackson reshaped our view of the rock star and seemingly drove him deeper into seclusion, plastic surgery and odd behavior. We don’t know which direction Woods will head in the aftermath of his public comeuppance.

On Friday, he strangely disappeared alone behind a blue curtain and was reportedly on his way back to the prisoner-of-sexual-repression camp where he’d already survived 45 days of shock treatment.

Maybe Tiger’s handlers know better than all the critics who demand that Woods sit down with Oprah, Barbara Walters or some other high-profile interviewer. Maybe the less the public knows about a man groomed on a golf course the better.

You don’t shoot a front-nine 48 at age 3 and break 80 over 18 holes at age 8 because your parents made you spend your free time socializing with relatives, hanging with the boys and girls from your ’hood or playing team sports.

Just like Jackson, it appears Woods burned a good deal of his childhood developing a professional skill rather than social ones.

Another similarity between Woods and Jackson is that they were both raised outside the American religious mainstream. That is not written to express the superiority of Christianity. It’s written to suggest that their religious upbringing — Jackson, a Jehovah’s Witness, and Woods, a Buddhist — contributes to their public awkwardness.

“Awkward” is about as flattering as you can get in describing Woods’ delivery of Friday’s speech. It was emotionless and impersonal. A man we’ve grown used to seeing express a wide range of nationally-televised emotion on a golf course — anger, jubilation, regret, tear-stained joy — mustered none when trying to publicly make amends for destroying his life, his wife’s, his children’s and a legacy crafted from birth.

Michael Jackson dad court win

2010-02-21T08:33:00.000-08:00

Tragic Michael Jackson's money-grabbing dad, Joe, WILL be able to see his son's medical records.

And now he is poised to launch a wrongful death lawsuit.

A judge ruled Joe is entitled to copies of Michael's medical records - but only those since his death in June last year.

The singer's estate was opposed to Joe seeing the records, feeling it breached doctor-patient privilege.

But lawyer Howard Weitzman said: "The court order adequately protects Michael's interests and limits what Mr Jackson was asking for."

Michael Jackson's guitarist pays tribute to lost superstar

2010-02-21T08:31:00.000-08:00

GUITAR ace Jennifer Batten yesterday told of her heartache at the loss of her superstar mentor Michael Jackson.

The guitarist was Jacko's "right-hand woman" on three sell-out world tours - with the Bad star responsible for creating her famous hair-do.

Now she is to pay an emotional tribute to the King of Pop on her first Scottish concert tour.

In 1987, Jennifer was hand-picked by the singer from 100 guitarists who had auditioned to play on his Bad tour.

Jacko was so impressed that she joined him on the road for the next 10 years, playing on his Dangerous and HIStory tours to more than 4.5 million fans.

But the New York-born musician still hasn't come to terms with the death of her friend, from a drug overdose last June, aged 50.

"I was in LA when a friend called to say Michael had died," said Jennifer, 52. "I'd heard so many rumours over the years that I didn't believe it, but when I turned on the news I found it was true.

"It was a huge shock. Michael had so much to live for.

"He was so into being a good father to his children. He wanted nothing but the best for other people. I miss him."

Jennifer plays The Inn at Lathones in St Andrews on Friday with other gigs in Glasgow and Strathpeffer over the weekend as part of her first solo tour of Scotland.The highlight of her show will be an emotional 12-minute medley of Michael's songs.

Jennifer, who has also played with Jeff Beck, Brian May of Queen and Natalie Cole, still can't believe Jacko plucked her from obscurity to set her on the road to stardom.

"I heard Michael was looking for a guitarist and had organised an open audition." she said.

"I went into a rehearsal room in Hollywood and was surprised to see there was no band, it was just me playing alone. I played Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller, note perfect. It was videoed and Michael chose me from 100 other guitarists."

A few weeks later, Jennifer came face to face with Michael in a massive production hangar in Los Angeles.

"Michael walked in with his manager Frank Dileo to watch a run-through by the band," said Jennifer.

"I'd been told if he was happy with the music he'd start dancing and he did a few steps right away. Next thing I knew I had a ticket for the opening night of the Bad tour."

For the video of smash hit Another Part Of Me Jacko devised a complete image makeover for his new guitarist and Jennifer's distinctive big hair and sci-fi-style costumes were born.

"Michael had an artist draw a new image for me and had a team of wardrobe people make my costumes," she said.

"Two huge extension pieces were sewn into my own hair to add volume. It certainly worked- my hair was almost as big as the guitar I was holding.

was "I didn't have any problem with it because I understood the show was pure theatre and I was playing a role.

big as I was "I'll always be 'the girl in Michael's band with the big hair'. A lot of people only know me for that, and that's no bad thing. It helped me immensely."

show and I a On each Jacko tour, Jennifer had to sign a confidentiality deal not to reveal how his stage stunts were done.

Inevitably, there were nights when things went pear-shaped.

"During the routine for Beat It I had to wear fibre optic laser lights in my hair, costume and around my guitar so that I lit up during the song," she said.

"I was attached to a 100ft cable which was linked to a computer so the lights changed colour. As I ran across the stage, somebody stood on my cable, the lights went out and I got whiplash."

Jennifer was disturbed by the child sex abuse allegations which dogged Michael's life and led to a court case in 2005.

He was acquitted on all charges and the guitarist believes he was a victim of his phenomenal success.

"I think Michael was innocent. You get a creepy vibe from people who do things like that, but I didn't with him. Michael was just a big kid," said Jennifer.

"I don't know anybody who could have stayed mentally healthy after all the accusations thrown at him. But people are obsessed with extortion. It gives them power. Once lawyers and the Press get involved the stories run on their own."

Jackson will be in Jennifer's thoughts when she performs in Scotland next week. It's the first time since she's played here since the Dangerous tour at Glasgow Green on August 18, 1992.

Jennifer said: "Playing with Michael for 40,000 fans in Glasgow was a whole new experience. I flew first class and stayed in the best hotels. It was like a fantasy.

"I'm very proud of touring with him.

Just having the name 'Michael Jackson' on my resume helps a lot.

"Sadly, we won't ever see him realise his true potential. He was such a talent, there's no telling what he could have done next."

Batman, Michael Jackson win Carnival's top award

2010-02-17T23:45:00.000-08:00

Brazil's Carnival revelry drew to a close yesterday with the anxiously awaited award for the best parade in Rio de Janeiro going to a show featuring skiers dressed like Batman and a pregnant drum queen.

The Unidos da Tijuca samba group won the battle for Rio bragging rights for the first time in 74 years for their parade entitled "It's a Secret!" that also featured rapid-fire costume changes and a dancing impersonator of the late pop singer Michael Jackson.

Its drum section was led by a four-month pregnant television presenter, Adriane Galisteu.

The Viradouro group, which whipped up controversy by selecting a seven-year-old as its drum queen, finished last and was relegated to the second division. Rio's samba schools are organized into two separate divisions.

Each year 12 samba "schools" of samba parade elaborate sparkling costumes, props and extravagant floats. Judges' marks for the parades are painstakingly read out for over an hour on national television on Ash Wednesday.

The schools, which provide an annual coming-out for many of Rio's most impoverished slum areas, often have skit-like elements, making the overall experience a cross between Disney World and an Italian opera.

"It's a spectacle that has a lot of culture, a lot of history and a bit of theater. I get goose bumps, it's a very strong, very nice feeling," said Amanda Souza, 24, as she waited for a parade at Rio's Sambadrome stadium Sunday night.

PARTYING TO LAST MINUTE

Rio street parties, or "blocos," as they are known in the city, continued on Wednesday as revelers partied up until the vote. With names like "Christ's Arm Pits" and "Don't Move Because It Stinks," they have increased in popularity in recent years as an alternative to the scripted parades.

Although near-naked women in tiny bikinis have become the iconic image of Rio's Carnival, exposed flesh is a small aspect of the elaborate displays that provide thousands of people with work and happiness each year.

"Without Carnival, I don't think I could live." said Luiz Paulo, 22, as he waited to parade.

The samba songs that accompany each parade speak of social issues, national heroes and important moments in Brazilian or world history.

A school this year honored the 50th anniversary of the founding of Brasilia, the nation's capital. The blue-and-white Beija Flor school launched the parade with a float of Brasilia's iconic cathedral and sang "Brasilia: the capital of hope."

Another group opened its pink-and-green parade with a mock confrontation between police and prisoners to show how music -- its theme this year -- was a liberating force for the country during its 1964-1985 military dictatorship.

A spectator said the Carnival helps her to overcome some fears in a city that suffers from frequent violence and confrontations between the police and drug-traffickers.

"We forget our problems. We get courage to walk on the streets," said Inaura dos Santos Martins, 58, who attends the annual event at the Sambadrome.
