MJ's Kids Visit His Old Home In Gary,Indiana For His Birthday -- TOTT On The Scene! (EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS)

Micheal Jackson's children made a surprise appearance at his old home in Gary, Indiana and we were right there with them!

Posted By: YBM

This past Friday on August 26, while visiting a friend on Jackson Street, I ran into some people you don't see everyday here in Gary, Indiana . Michael Jackson's birthday is Monday August 29 and to honor the deceased star's special day, Gary hosted a public concert right in front of the Jackson's old house. It is located on 2300 Jackson Street, just as the hit song goes by The Jackson 5.

There was a free concert with local talent, and Joe Jackson as well as Michael Jackson's mother. All three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, signed autographs in the front yard of the now famous house.







The celebration went on all weekend. The family enjoyed themselves, and came to the gate to shake hands with fans. There were events planned for the entire weekend and Monday August 29, there will be a special birthday celebration right in front of the house... the same house The Jackson 5 lived in as children.

Michael Jackson Murdered For His Music Publishing?!

Today, June 25 2011, marks the two-year anniversary since the sudden death of Michael Jackson.

With each passing day, his sister LaToya is convinced the King of Pop was murdered by his personal physician in a conspiracy plot that even Michael had premonitions about.....

Latoya spills some of family secrets in her new memoir book, “Starting Over"....

“Dr. Murray was a fall guy, and I do know that this was a conspiracy and Michael told me repeatedly that he was going to be murdered,”

“They were going to kill him because of his publishing and he went into details about the people and things of that nature… I decided to let people know what really happened to him at the end of the book because that’s a part of my life as well.”

Latoya said someone, somewhere knows what really went down on that fateful day, June 25, 2009, and she’s hoping that they’ll soon come forward with the truth.

“The investigation with the way it’s going is focusing on Dr. Murray and I have tried to point and show them that we need to go in a direction and investigate further and deeper into other people,”

she continued.

“But they have no interest in doing that. I would like to see justice for all parties and all people that were involved in this murder.”

MJ's Family Lashes Out At Dr. Conrad Murray: "He Killed Him!"

Miley's Dad, Billy Ray, Spills The Beans! Says Disney Destroyed His Family!

Billy Ray spilled his guts to GQ Magazine -- claiming Miley's handlers meddled in his relationship with his daughter and prevented him from properly parenting her through difficult situations ... including the Vanity Fair cover scandal and her controversial pole dancing performance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

Billy says he hasn't spoken to Miley since the bong video surfaced and states,

"I'm scared for her. She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger."

Billy also claims "there's no doubt" his family is under attack by Satan.

When asked about "Hannah Montana" the show Miley's Dad actually played her dad on the show too-- Billy said,

"I'll tell you right now -- the damn show destroyed my family."

Billy says he wishes "Hannah" had never happened -- saying,

"I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal."

Billy also compares Miley to Anna Nicole Smith -- saying,

"You could see that train wreck coming."

And there's a Michael Jackson connection -- during the interview, Billy revealed he tried to reach out to Michael Jackson before his death and invite him to a taping of the show ... explaining,

"I just felt it would be good for Michael."

Billy never revealed if MJ ever took him up on his offer.

Dr. Conrad Murray Keeps His Medical License In Nevada!

Conrad Murray just cashed in on some Vegas luck -- because he can keep practicing medicine in Nevada.

Sources at the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners say,

"Nevada law does not currently allow us to swipe his license just because a judge ruled on it."

As we previously reported -- Murray's California medical license was recently suspended as a condition of bail in his manslaughter case.

The Texas Medical Board has yet to decide what to do with the Doc's license.

Chris Brown Reveals Him & Jamie Foxx Were Meeting Up w/ Michael Jackson The Day He Died

Chris Brown just revealed that him and Jamie Foxx were on their way to see Michael Jackson rehearse for his final tour on the afternoon the singer died.

Breezy said that he and Foxx were on their way to Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles to see the King of Pop practice his dance routines for the This Is It tour on June 25, 2009, the afternoon that MJ died.

He said,

'Me and Jamie Foxx were going to see him and [someone called] and they were like 'Hold up. He didn't show up yet'.

'And then we got the call later and it was devastating.'

Chris Brown had lots of skeptics the day he cried during his MJ Tribute at the B.E.T awards, but maybe this had a lot to do with it.

Michael Jackson Trial To Be Televised

Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial in the death of Michael Jackson will be televised.

Judge Michael Pastor handed down the surprise order today.

The trial will not only put the spotlight on Jackson's death, but the manner in which the medical community treats celebrities.

Opening statements should begin the first week in April.

MJ's Doctor Gets Medical Lisense Suspended! (DETAILS)

Dr. Conrad Murray's medical license has just been suspended.

Judge Michael Pastor just ordered the suspension, as a condition to Dr. Murray's bail in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case.

The Medical Board of California has asked the court twice before to yank Murray's license, to no avail. But minutes after ordering Murray to stand trial, Judge Pastor granted the request.

Dr. Murray has 24 hours to notify the medical boards in Texas and Nevada of Judge Pastor's decision.

It's a devastating blow to Murray, because he needs to practice to make enough money to pay his legal team. Murray's team believes the move is designed to take away his right to defend himself in the manslaughter trial.

Michael Jackson is getting some company on his next single.

According to reports, the first release from the MJ's "Michael" album will be the long-rumored Akon collaboration, "Hold My Hand."

The song was leaked in an unfinished form back in '08 – was destined for what would become Akon's third album, "Freedom." But according to sources, Jackson's estate included a handwritten note naming "Hold My Hand" as the first single off the late King of Pop's next release.

Akon said in a statement,

"But its time has definitely come; now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song. I'm so proud to have had the chance to work with Michael, one of my all time idols."

"my idol, MJ recorded it and made one of my lifelong dreams come true. It was slated to come out…what happened next the whole world knows. Its now 2010, and although the circumstances are bittersweet, i am still honored and proud that 'Hold My Hand' will have its day in the sun. grateful."

Check out the song below that we are assuming is to be revised for the "Michael" album.



Jackson and Akon had previously collaborated on a remix of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" for the 2008 reissue of Jackson's "Thriller." They were reported to be working on original music for some time before Jackson's death in 2009.

The rest of the "Michael" album will reportedly feature eight other new tracks from the King of Pop. The track list, includes the controversial "Breaking News," which leaked last week and grabbed headlines amidst speculation (some from Jackson's own family) that it hadn't actually been sung by the music icon.

The album will feature two collaborations besides the Akon duet: "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" with Lenny Kravitz and "Monster" with rapper 50 Cent.

"Hold My Hand" is set for release on Monday, November 15; "Michael" is slated to hit stores on December 14.

Witness Claims Chris Brown Rubbed In Eye Drops To Fake Tears At BET Awards!! Get the 411...

Whoa...so we all know that Chris Brown had some sort of an emotional breakdown at the last BET Awards. Some thought it was sincere & thought he should be forgiven for his past actions and others just straight out thought it was fake. Check out the poll results here.

Chris Brown started crying as he took to the stage to sing one of the King of Pop's hits Man in the Mirror.

However, a backstage source alleges that one of his bodyguards gave him some tear-inducing eye drops. WHOA...

His rep has denied the claim and said he 'was moved by the opportunity to pay tribute to his idol'.

But the source insists this is what happened and added:

'He rubbed it in and he started crying.'

What do YOU believe???

Chris Brown Cries Hysterical At The BET Awards! Do YOU Forgive Him Finally? WATCH IT HERE!

UPDATE:

Ok, so last night I was all emotional for Chris Brown, and don't get me wrong, I still feel it was an amazing performance. But was it too amazing? Like too put together, including the "crying" at the end. I really don't believe in coincidences anymore and the reason I put quotes on "crying" this time around is , after watching the performance over again, my thoughts have kind of changed.

I don't think I saw a tear, why leave Man in the Mirror till last? Why was THAT the only song he was going to sing?.... Did CB's team put him up to this? ....


I can hear it now...."Chris this will be the way to win the public back!"

ORRRR was I right the 1st time, saying that Chris has been set free?.....


One YouTube commenter wrote,

"I hate him even more since I realized the whole performance was more about him than it was for Michael Jackson."

So I think we may have to do a NEW poll here,

DO YOU THINK CHRIS BROWN'S TEARS WERE REAL??????

I'm STILL trying to figure this out myself.

I will say this though, I REALLLLLY hope everything was genuine and hope he can move forward, and I don't even mean with the public.....with HIMSELF.



ORIGINAL POST:



Now you knowwwww I have my own thoughts on the Chris Brown situation and how he has handled the after affects of all the drama. But I think the BET Awards may have been his turning point in his career.

When Jermaine Jackson came on stage at the BET Awards to introduce a tribute to his brother Michael Jackson, he didn't say the name of the performer. He just announced, "Here he is!" before Chris Brown appeared behind a screen on stage.

CB has been shut out of Michael Jackson tributes over the last year, having fallen out of favor with the public after his assault of Rihanna became public knowledge.

He danced and lip-synced along to several of Jackson's hits, but the real highlight of the performance came when it was time for Brown himself to sing Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror." When he opened his mouth to sing the opening line, "I'm gonna make a change for once in my life," Chris couldn't get the words out, fighting back tears.

I'm fighting tears right now writing this, he touched me so much...I realllly think he may finally be freed of all his drama...it's like he was saved by the Lord tonight and I really mean that. Now, I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I feel it in my heart, and I am very happy for him.

Was he weeping for MJ, or because the words hit a bit too close to home? Like I said, guessing it was a bit of both. Chris never managed to pull himself together, so he dropped the microphone and just sang along with the audience, tears streaming down his face.

A few minutes before hitting the stage, CB tweeted,

"BE NERVOUS FOR ME... im s***tin' a brick right now!!!!!"

I think that showing some raw human emotion might do some good for his tarnished public image... MAYBE.

According to the official BET Twitter, Jermaine Jackson thought that "C. Breezy's performance was Jacksonesque!"

Michael Jackson's Home Turned Into A Museum!

Michael Jackson fans are being presented with the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their idol’s home which is being recreated for a world exclusive exhibition in the Republic of Ireland.

Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons in Co Kildare will display, until May, 30 pieces of furniture personally commissioned by the King of Pop for the Kent mansion where he planned to live in during his comeback concerts.

The items, including a luxurious 16ft sofa and a feather-trimmed armchair hand picked for Elizabeth Taylor, will later go under the hammer at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas by celebrity agents Julien’s Auctions.

Phil Donnelly, of Newbridge Silverware, revealed two 40ft containers were used to transport the 17 items of custom-built furniture overseas for the exclusive showing.

“This is literally going to be what Michael Jackson’s home was going to be like during those series of concerts. ‘Fans are going to get the chance to see it themselves,” the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

She added:

“We felt we would be honoured to hold this event. It’s in celebration of him and a tribute.”

A part of the proceeds from the sale are to be donated to charities MusiCares and Joshua’s Heart.

MJ's Family Lashes Out At Dr. Conrad Murray: "He Killed Him!"

In case you missed it: Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray was charged at the Los Angeles County Courthouse on Monday with involuntary manslaughter after the MJ’s death last June due to a lethal combination of prescription drugs.

The judge presiding over the new celebrity courtroom drama is Keith L. Schwartz. During the hearing, Schwartz stated that Murray acted “without due caution and circumspection” and “did unlawfully and without malice, kill, Michael Joseph Jackson.”

As Doctor Conrad Murray approached the courthouse, legions of Jackson fans were there screaming “murderer” as he made his way up the courthouse steps.

Michael Jackson's family issued a series of statements decrying the doctor's not-guilty plea to the charge of involuntary manslaughter.

"He's lying. He's guilty. Nobody was there but him," Jackson's mother, Katherine, told the assembled media while leaving court. "He's just trying to save his own behind. ... He killed him. He wasn't monitoring him."

Murray, who faces up to four years in prison if convicted, didn't make a statement following his court appearance, during which he did not interact with the Jackson family members, according to reports. The Houston-based doctor is expected to leave Los Angeles after posting $75,000 bail.

"Dr. Murray is doing fine. ... He's in good spirits," attorney Edward Chernoff said during a press conference after the hearing.

As one expert suggested in an interview with MTV News, it could be hard to find an impartial jury in Los Angeles, a reality Chernoff said he was ready to deal with. "It's going to be tough, but I think if we get the right jury, the right result will come in," he said. "This has been a nightmare for [Murray] for many different reasons, and one of the reasons is that he lost a friend."


I really hope Michael gets the justice he deserves.

I personally think 4 years and keeping his license is too lenient...honestly. Dr. Murray knew he was doing something wrong administering these drugs in the 1st place. He took the risk, and it seems because of this "risk" he could have killed Michael Jackson by not reporting that he wasn't breathing. When someone is not breathing you call an ambulance, and in this case if your tactics are not working, ESPECIALLY AFTER AN HR, Murray could have or actually did hold back MJ from being saved! You feel me? I'm STILL really sad about the whole situation.

MJ's Doctor To Get A Maximum Of Four Years!?...

MICHAEL JACKSON's personal doctor, will finally be charged in JACKSON' s death on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8th, reports PEOPLE MAGAZINE. Unconfirmed reports have MURRAY being charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison.

Sources told PEOPLE that the reason for the delay in formal charges was due to infighting between the police and prosecutors. The LAPD wants MURRAY to be brought to a courthouse in handcuffs; prosecutors don't believe that's necessary, as MURRAY has no criminal record.

The news comes as MURRAY and his frustrated legal team planned to surrender at a LOS ANGELES courthouse. "We know he's going to be charged with involuntary manslaughter and we are ready with a counterargument," MIRANDA SEVCIK, spokeswoman for MURRAY's legal team, said. "He's not guilty -- that's our argument."




......4 years? smh

Micheal Jackson Themed Playstation 3!

If you're a true-blue Michael Jackson fan and you're in a collecting mood, look to the east. According to Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, a Playstation 3 bundle in the spirit of Jackson's "This Is It" will be available on January 27.

Unfortunately, the bundle's Playstation 3 unit will not be shaped like a white glove. Rather, the bundle includes a "charcoal black" PS3, along with a 120 GB hard drive, a wireless Dualshock 3 controller, an AV cable, a USB cable, a power cord, and a Blu-ray copy of the "This Is It" concert documentary.

The Blu-ray version of "This Is It" also contains bonus vignettes of Thriller and Smooth Criminal, as well as a special PS3 wallpaper.

The bundle runs at about $366. No word on whether or not the bundle will come dancing on America's shores.

This isn’t the first Michael Jackson dealt with video game systems.

A Sega Arcade game title Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker was released in 1990, which was based on the film with the same name. A console game version was released also, for multiple platforms, but the gameplay was massively varied from the arcade version.

Word is there should be a new MJ game coming out real soon!
