NEWS: Dr. Arnie Klein sits down with TMZ

This interview segment is a 1 hour and 45 minute full interview Harvey Levin had with Dr. Klein today on TMZ Live.

WOW.

Other than tuning out when Klein goes on and on about himself, there is one specific topic that is brushed over a few times during this interview. The revelation of who introduced Conrad Murray to Michael.

Wait for it.............

JOE JACKSON!

If nothing else is important, that alone should raise the roof on the controversy surrounding Michael and his relationship with his father, not to mention Michael's death.

If true, how in the world can Joe live with himself?

How can ANYONE in Michael's family still talk to Joe? How can the media not confirm this and report it as the most viraled story of ALL time? And, towards the end of the "how" questions is how can Joe ever earn any money off Michael's name from this point forward?



Don't know about you, but I for one am horrified... and not in the Thriller kind of way.

NEWS: Deepak Chopra

In this UK article, Deepak Chopra talks of his friend, Michael, and societal changes in medicine and outlooks on life that need to occur.

I couldn't agree with Dr. Chopra more.

Here is a snippet:

"There is a plethora of designer doctors who will give patients anything they want as along as they are paid,” he says. “That’s why I’d like to see a criminal investigation. That way some good would come out of Michael’s death. But no one seems to be prepared to do anything about it – even when the drugs these doctors are prescribing are killing people.”

Back in one of Dr. Chopra's first interviews with Larry King after Michael's death, I recall writing a response to Dr. Chopra asking that he take the lead on calling for change. While many of Michael's fans may see Dr. Chopra's responses differently, Dr. Chopra has been honest and direct in his comments about Michael's drug problems and maybe he can lead the charge for as he says, to allow some good to come out of Michael's death.

Here are some other interviews Dr. Chopra has given recently on Michael:
Huffington Post (6/26/09) A Tribute to My Friend, Michael Jackson
Time (Date > 6/25/09) Remembering Michael
Huffington Post High on Fame (w/Dr. Drew Pinsky)(06/28/09): Michael Jackson and Enabling Doctors
The Daily Beast (07/02/09): Michael Jackson could have been saved

Thank you Dr. Chopra and Gotham for your honesty, even when some may not want to hear it.

To quote Madonna, "Long live the King."

INTERVIEW: Randy Phillips, AEG

Wanted to leave you with this one-on-one interview with Randy Phillips which took place on June 30, 2009.

I don't care what anyone says about AEG, I really think Randy was Michael's friend.

Thank you to the TMZ blogger who posted this!

INTERVIEW: David Nordahl, artist

Some of the pieces commissioned of David Nordahl are reconizable. How can they not be with Michael in them. Here is an incredibly interesting article on the artist and his friendship with Michael.


This painting is called The Triptych. Read about the meaning here.
Will try to find other links with his art online and post them here. If you have any, feel free to put them in comments.

NEWS: Team Branca

Go Team Branca! Go! One of the first articles seen speaking directly with Branca on his relationship with Michael. Interesting read.

By the way, this blogger is 100,000,000,000% behind John Branca and McClain, affectionately referred to here as "Team Branca" or "The Johns."

Tito tidbits on family intervention (In progress)

People magazine's article about the staged intervention by several of Michael's siblings, the 2007 signed denial statement of any such intervention by Katherine and some of his siblings.

Tito's claim on July 15, 2009 in fact there was an intervention at Neverland. Ironic note, the sibling 'denial' signatures included Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and of course, Tito.

Those present at the intervention were Jackie and Tito (both signed above) along with sisters Janet, Rebbie & La Toya, and brother Randy.

Remember, Michael left Neverland after the trial, (betw. June 20 and Sept 2005) for Bahrain. The denial statement was signed in 2007. Also, there are reports of another intervention attempt intervention in Las Vegas circa 2009.

FLASHBACK: The interview with Michael Jackson...

Larry King Live on CNN July 06, 2009

Larry King has a wonderful list of guests tonight, all surrounding Michael Jackson. They include Howard Weitzman, former MJ attorney & represented "The Johns" today in the estate hearing, Debbie Rowe's former attorney Iris ___, Donald Trump and more.

What I admire the most is what Donald Trump came out and said, especially in light of what Rep. Pete King said over the weekend. "Michael was not a child molester."

Maybe Donald could have a little "Trump Talk" with Rep. King since he is close to District 3 in NY.

If only it were that easy.

INTERVIEW: Michael's photographer of 25 years

BBC interviews Michael's photographer, Kevin Mazur, of 25 years just days after Michael's passing. He is the one who took the photo of Michael rehearsing for "This is It."
