The "Rumored ladies In Michael Jackson's Life

Let's start From the Beginning with MS. Diana Ross

I guess it is safe to say that Diana Ross was Michael's first love. I don't think that anyone can dispute that. Whether or not that love was unrequited seems to be the question. Diana Ross was born in 1944 which makes her 14 years older than Michael. She was also a member of the '60's singing group The Supremes which was also on the same label, MOTOWN, as Michael's group The Jackson 5. Michael was introduced to Diana at the age of 10 (8 in Hollywood years). Michael lived with Diana for a few months and she was sort of his mentor /surrogate mother. Diana encouraged Michael and taught him about Superstardom. He watched and studied her while soaking up everything that he could learn from her. It's only natural that Michael would have a crush on someone he admired such as Ms. Ross. The thing is, this crush seemed to have lasted well beyond boyhood for Michael. He made no secret about his feelings for Diana, even stating once in an interview for Ebony Magazine, that he loved her (not as a sister or mother figure but as a man loves a woman) and that he would like to marry her. Looking at the two of them together at various functions such as Diana's tv specials, Her concerts, and their Grammy Award appearance, it is clear to anyone that Michael just lights up whenever he is around her. People tend to come down pretty hard on Diana for not having some type or relationship with Michael and marrying someone else when it was apparent that he was so in love with her. While we would have loved to see this pair as a couple, there would have been so much scandal involved that I really couldn't see it happening, at least not back then. Cougars weren't "IN" during that time and for Michael and Diana to have been in a public relationship most certainly would have been viewed as scandalous and borderline abusive. When it comes to Michael and Diana one tends to hold on to either 1 of 2 belief:

1: Michael and Diana had a sexual relationship with Mrs. Ross being his first
2: Michael had a Crush on Diana and nothing ever came of it.

We all have our opinions but because no one is talking, we'll probably never know for sure. Some people tend to think that Dirty Diana was written about Diana. Michael has said that the song is about groupies and while listening to the lyrics, One can most certainly deduce that, but some still tend to believe that subliminally, Mike had Diana in mind while performing that song with his heart wrenching cries of 'Diana " in the middle of the song. Mrs Ross has also helped pen a song that most certainly appears to be about Mr. Jackson. The song entitled "Drop The Mask" appeared on the Japanese Version of her Lp "Every Day Is New Day" Take a listen and tell me what you think?

Michael Jackson, The Ladies Man

When it comes to Michael Jackson and his loves, it is hard to come to a consensus. True, Michael exuded sexuality through his performances on stage, but off stage, he was seemingly shy, quiet, and reserved. It's hard for some people to believe that Michael was a normal, red blooded man who did normal redblooded male things and that includes sexual intercourse, dating, and most likely juggling women. Much of what is known about Michael's love life is the result of speculation. People go by who they have seen him with and some may choose to believe the numerous women who have recently( and not so recently) come forth to say that they have had a relationship with Michael. Now I have no idea who Michael was involved with but I can say for certain that it wasn't children (little boys) for all the haters that love to throw that in there. I have my opinions as I'm sure you all do, but I'll post a little bit about each lady (and in some instances, I use that term loosely) and you can decide for youself.

e

I don't understand how anyone who considers themselves a fan of Michael's can honestly say that it is not his voice on these audios. It's obvious that it is indeed Mr. Jackson on these tapes and anyone who doubts it. needs to study on on Michael Jackson some more before considering themselves a true fan.

I have more audio but I am trying to decide whether or not to post them here, I am trying to determine how time consumig it would be for me to transcribe them in the youtube format so that you can read along as you listen.(which makes it extremely easy to follow along. Otherwise, I'll just post the audio and the transcripts separately. Haven't decided yet.

Lawyer Charged in Shooting Deaths of Knicks Eddie Curry's Ex Girlfriend and Daughter

noreply@blogger.com (KizzDaLipz) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:04:00 +0000

Lawyer Charged in Shooting Deaths of NY Knicks Eddie Curry's Ex Girlfriend and Daughter

A lawyer who allegedly terrorized on-and-off-again girlfriend Nova Henry for two years was charged Sunday with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Henry and her infant daughter.

Fredrick Goings, 36, of Chicago has been a chief suspect for police since the slayings on Jan. 24, which, according to court records, was also Goings' birthday. Henry , 24 and her 10-month-old daughter Ava with former Chicago Bulls player Eddy Curry were found shot to death in their South Loop apartment. Henry's 3-year-old son, Noah, (also Curry's child) was found asleep on a chair with blood on his feet and hands.

Her family said Henry moved into the upscale apartment and installed a security system a week before her death in one of her many attempts to flee Goings, whom she met when he represented her in a paternity case against Curry, who now plays for the New York Knicks.

But the relationship was unstable from the start, said Yolan Henry, Nova Henry's mother.

Yolan Henry has said that during the couple's roughest patches, Nova Henry told her parents of frightening run-ins with Goings, such as going to the grocery store or her children's school and finding him there watching her.

In April 2007, Nova Henry obtained an order of protection against Goings that prohibited him from having contact with her and her son after he was alleged to have threatened them, according to court documents. Goings was also charged with domestic battery for allegedly trying to push Henry down the stairs and with phone harassment. Henry got an order of protection, but she dropped both the battery case and the protection order within a month.

When she and Goings were not getting along, Nova Henry talked to her mother about renewing the order, but she never did.

According to court records, Goings appeared in court as a lawyer for Henry in a paternity suit as recently as September. At the time of her death, Nova Henry was receiving $15,000 monthly in child support from Curry. Police said Curry is not a suspect and has been cooperative.

Chicago police at a news conference Sunday would not discuss the dispute that led to the killings.

"Part of the motive was domestic-related," said Detective Lt. Denis Walsh.

Investigators have forensic evidence and surveillance video linking Goings to the "heinous" crime, Walsh said.

After Yolan Henry found her daughter and granddaughter dead, police traced Goings' cell phone to a hotel in LaPorte County, Ind.

Police went to see him the day after the killings but found their attempts at an interview to be unsuccessful, sources said. Goings was charged with trespassing after he refused to leave the hotel. Police said Goings has been spotted in court in his capacity as an attorney several times in the past month.

Walsh said Goings was "partially surprised" by his arrest Friday near a relative's home.

Yolan Henry has had custody of Noah since Jan. 24. She said she has been concerned about the child's safety because he was in the apartment at the time of the killings. Since the slayings, Noah has not been able to attend school or follow his daily routine, she said Sunday.

Usher's Wife Tameka Released From Hospital after Coma

Usher's Wife Tameka Released From Hospital After Coma

Usher's wife Tameka Foster has left hospital in Brazil.

Foster, 38, checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital on Feb. 6 for a "simple liposuction," Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Stermanm, told the Associated Press last week.

Foster went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage," Dastry adds. She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit, a procedure Dastry said was "absolutely normal" and performed in order to "avoid unnecessary complications."

She was then transferred to Sirio-Libanes Hospital, considered one of the best in Brazil.

Tameka was released from the Sirio-Libanes Monday night, a spokesman said. At the family's request, no further details were available from the medical facility. Usher's rep had no comment.

Hopefully Tameka will realize how close she actually came to dying. After what happened to Kanye's mom, I hope Tameka has realized that if she wants to lose a couple of extra pounds, she needs to do it the old fashioned way instead of going for the quick fix.

Bills Running Back Marshawn Lynch Arrested On Weapons Charges

Bills Running Back Marshawn Lynch Arrested On Weapons Charges

Buffalo Bills All-Pro running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested in Culver City on a weapons charge, police said Sunday.

Culver City Police said Lynch was arrested Wednesday night after officers approached him and two other men sitting in a 2006 Mercedes-Benz in the Los Angeles suburb and found a loaded firearm. Lynch, 22, was arrested after officers determined the gun belonged to him. He was released that night on $35,000 bail.

Lynch's lawyer, M. Gerald Schwartzbach, said his client was not involved in a traffic incident. Schwartzbach said the player was in California to visit friends.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's inmate database says Lynch was booked at 7:12 p.m. and was released on a $35,000 bond at 8:45 p.m.

"We can confirm that Marshawn was arrested in California and has retained an attorney," Bills vice president of communications Scott Berchtold said in a statement. "We are in the process of trying to gather the facts and will not offer a comment while that process is ongoing."

Lynch's arrest marked the second time in less than a year that he has been in trouble with the law. In June, Lynch pleaded guilty to a traffic violation and admitted speeding off in his Porsche Cayenne SUV after striking a female pedestrian near Buffalo's downtown bar district.

Usher Cancels Grammy Gig Due To Wife Tameka's Plastic Surgery Emergency

According to sources, Usher canceled his performance at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party due to his wife medical crisis following a cosmetic procedure. Tameka is in Brazil and has experienced complications from plastic surgery.

Dr. Gabriel Hunt, a neurosurgeon, of LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, arrived in South America yesterday to assist in the crisis.

Clive Davis, president of Usher's Records label, announced that the entertainer and his mother phoned earlier to cancel his rehearsal and subsequent performance at the Beverly Hilton because of a "serious illness in the family." A rep for Usher had no comment at this time. Josh Groban filled in for the R&B star at Davis’ annual event.

Chris Brown Cancels Grammy Performance Due To Arrest

Chris Brown Cancels Grammy Performance Due To Arrest

Chris Brown was arrested last night in Los Angeles while the Grammy Awards were underway.

The 19-year-old singer, who was due to perform at tonight's ceremony, cancelled his appearance because he was being investigated for an alleged domestic violence/ felony battery incident.

He was reportedly sitting in a car with a woman in the Hancock Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles early this morning when the pair began arguing. The argument escalated, but by the time the police arrived, the singer had left the scene.

Police say the woman identified Brown as her attacker, but he was gone by the time officers arrived.

Brown is being held by police on $50,000 bail, reports the Associated Press.

Rihanna, Brown's long-time girlfriend, also cancelled her appearance at the Grammy Awards. Early media reports say that Rihanna was involved in the dispute and had injuries on her face and bite marks on her arm. No confirmation as of yet as to whether or not Rihanna was the alleged victim of the asault. I hope not Bite marks? Are you serious? Bitchassedness at it's finest

Knicks Eddie Curry's 3 Year Old Son Witnesses Murder of Mom and 9 Month Old Sister

Knicks center Eddy Curry's 3-year-old son witnessed his mother and baby-sister's murders in their Chicago apartment Saturday, according to a source close to Curry.
Nova Henry, 24, a former girlfriend of Curry's, and her 9-month-old daughter, Ava, were found shot dead by Henry's mother around 6 p.m. Saturday, authorities said.
Curry's son was found unharmed inside the South Side apartment, but his father was still described as "despondent" Saturday night.
The killer is a "known acquaintance," said Chicago Police Officer Amina Greer.
Henry had a boyfriend and had filed a restraining order against him, according to team sources.
Greer did not say whether the suspect was being questioned last night, just that the case is still "under investigation."
A Knicks source close to Curry described him as "distraught" upon learning of the woman's death and what his son witnessed.
Curry was told of the murders after the team's loss to Philadelphia last night and cried upon hearing the news, said the source.
Henry had claimed the murdered 9-month-old infant was Curry's child, but the player has adamantly denied it.
Autopsies were set to be performed Sunday.
Curry flew back to New York from Philadelphia with the team last night, and the source was not sure if he was staying in the city or going to Chicago.
Curry is married and has four children with his wife, Patrice - Eddy III, Reign, Reigan and Reiganna, according to the Knicks media guide.
In 2007, Curry and his wife were bound and robbed at gunpoint in the family's suburban Chicago mansion by three gun-wielding thugs.
Saturday's tragic incident comes during an especially tumultuous period for Curry.
Two weeks ago, the Knicks star was sued by his former driver who accused him of making sexual advances, forcing him to perform demeaning tasks and twice pointing a gun at him.
Ex-driver David Kuchinsky also claimed that Curry bombarded him with racial and religious epithets.
Curry has played in just one game this season after missing the first 35 games with a right knee injury.
He arrived for preseason training out of shape and was set back further by a bacterial infection that forced him to miss the first six days of training camp.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni has repeatedly insisted Curry needs to improve his conditioning and drop some weight before he can become an effective player again.

Just one hard ship after another. ...gives a whole new meaning to when it rains it pours. Our prayers go out to him and his family and the family of nova as well.

New York Knick Forward Eddie Curry Slapped With Gay Sexual Harassment Suit

noreply@blogger.com (KizzDaLipz) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:27:00 +0000

New York Knick Forward Eddie Curry Slapped With Gay Sexual Harassment Suit

Knicks center Eddy Curry was slapped with a shocking sex-harassment suit Monday by his former driver, who claims the 6-foot-11 hoopster tried to solicit gay sex from him.
The stunning court papers claim Curry, a married father of three, repeatedly approached chauffeur David Kuchinsky "in the nude," allegedly telling him, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."

Curry denied the allegations.

"I'm shocked, really," said Curry, who missed the Knicks' 101-95 victory at New Orleans on Monday night with right knee soreness. "He approached my friends a while back, trying to get money. I just never, ever thought it would go past what it did, which was just idle threats, money-or-else kind of stuff."

Curry also made Kuchinsky perform "humiliating tasks outside the scope of his employment, such as cleaning up and removing dirty towels [Curry had ejaculated into] so that his wife would not see them," the Manhattan federal court suit says.

Kuchinsky, who is straight and Jewish, also alleges racial discrimination, saying that Curry hurled slurs at him including "f---ing Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

Curry said he never made such comments.

"Everyone who knows me knows I'm not a racist. I've never made a comment like that, playing, or nothing," Curry said. "Aside from the fact I wouldn't do it because I'm not racist, I wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want someone to play with me like that. That's incredible, man."

The sex allegations hark back to the bad old days of Isiah Thomas running the team, when the team's VP of marketing, Anucha Browne Sanders, filed a 2006 sexual harassment suit claiming the general manager made advances toward her and even said he "loved" her. He also allegedly called her "ho" and "bitch."

She also complained the team was allowed to become a sleazy old-boys club, in which Stephon Marbury had sex with a female intern in an SUV. In the end, Sanders was awarded $11.6 million in punitive damages and the Knicks settled with her.

And in a disturbing episode reminiscent of some of the evidence in the manslaughter case against former Nets star Jayson Williams, Kuchinsky further claims in his suit that Curry pointed a "fully loaded" gun at him on at least two separate occasions to keep him from complaining about his treatment.

"Look, I have one in the chamber," Curry allegedly said.

Kuchinsky, who worked for Curry from October 2005 through October 2008, says he was initially hired as an around-the-clock chauffeur for Curry and his family at their Burr Ridge, Ill., mansion.

But shortly after starting work, he soon found his duties fell well outside his job description and "progressively became Curry's "house-boy,'" his suit says. He is seeking $98,000 plus compensatory damages from the injured Knick, whose contract pays him $9.4 million this year.

Kuchinsky says he is owed $68,000 in unpaid wages, as well as $25,000 in expenses for which Curry never repaid him.

"Instead of paying him, they discriminated against him, figuring that it would keep him there," said Kuchinsky's lawyer, Matthew Blit. "Imagine going into your boss's office ... and he stands up and drops his pants and he asks you take care of him. Those actions are unacceptable whether it's in a corporate office or a private home."

Curry portrayed the lawsuit against him as a desperate ploy for money by Kuchinsky, who was his employee for three years ending last October.

"It's like a prime example of you got to watch who's around you," Curry said. "This is a guy who I really thought he was my friend up until the last four, five months. I can't even believe this happened. ... I can't believe it went this far. I can't believe someone would represent something like that."

His lawyer, Kelly Saindon, denied all of Kuchinsky's allegations, calling them "absolutely untrue," and saying he began making a series of claims for unpaid wages several months ago, upping the ante each time.

Saindon said Curry took a chance on hiring Kuchinsky despite a criminal record that includes a three-year prison sentence for a 1992 burglary in New Jersey. He also got three years' probation in a 2004 resisting-arrest case in the Garden State, records show.

"It's shocking that Eddy opened his home to a convicted felon out of prison, and gave him a job when he couldn't find a job, and this is what comes out of it," she said. "The entire thing is preposterous."

Kuchinsky's lawyer conceded his client's "troubled past," but said that was all behind him.
