Michael Jackson – Who is it
Haven’t we all sold ourselves to the external? Seeking gratification. in the form of materialism and outside acceptance, when all along Love was always there? Yes, in fear and ignorance, we’ve all been made to be “whores” to the outside, to the “system”, and forgotten the love that has always been within, the only thing that truly matters…
Is This A Message That Michael Is Alive?
And from TMZ (that we need to “backtrack” it for the message?):Katherine Jackson’s Partner Backtracks on ‘New’ Song
11/7/2010 8:23 AM PST by TMZ Staff
The guy behind the website JacksonSecretVault.com — the one who called out the Jackson estate for releasing a song he insinuated wasn’t “authentic” — now has a big “authenticity” problem of his own.
Howard Mann, Katherine Jackson’s business partner, now says the song his website released Saturday was not “unreleased” as he advertised, but rather a “remake.” Pretty big difference.
Mann told TMZ on Friday his site was releasing the song “Opis None” in part to “overcome the confusion” that arose from the release of the song “Breaking News.”
But it turns out Mann is guilty himself of creating “confusion” by touting an unreleased song that was really a remake.
And on top of that, Mann touted that the release of “Opis None” was made with the blessing of Katherine Jackson. Now he has taken all references to Mrs. Jackson out of the advertisement they posted on Friday (see below).
Bad timing for Mann and Katherine — She’s appearing on “Oprah” Monday to push the book she wrote on MJ as well as other projects … projects in which she partnered with Mann

All what you want to know about Michael Jackson full legal name (almost full analysis)
I concluded months ago that his real middle name is JOE.
All the papers with Joseph (such as marriage certificate, kids’ birth certificate, death certificate, etc) are fake. Yes, MJ has called himself “Joseph” (stage name?), but when it comes to a death certificate, it HAS to be his real legal name. And I believe it’s JOE.
So perhaps Michael Joseph Jackson, the musician, is dead, but not Michael JOE Jackson, the real man (and movie director???lol)… My opinion.
Katherine Jackson’s Partner Backtracks on ‘New’ Song
I admit being confused about Katherine’s involvement with Mann… I don’t get it. I know people say it’s for money, but somehow, I thought she was above all that. There must be another reason…

Jackson Executors: How We Turned it Around
And here’s a part of the reason for the hoax (maybe)…
9/23/2010 11:45 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
The executors in the Michael Jackson Estate have just filed legal docs explaining how they turned chaos and financial ruin into a booming, postmortem business.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jackson owed 10’s of millions of bucks at the time he died. We’ve previously reported how the Jackson family was about to lose their home in Encino and Jackson was on the brink of going belly up.
Executors John Branca and John McClain turned things around in a big way, for two primary reasons. First, they restructured all of his debts and got creditors to significantly lower killer interest rates.
Secondly, the executors went full bore to generate revenue — and the brass ring was the movie, “This Is It.” According to the docs, the flick grossed $260,000,000, the most lucrative documentary in history.
As for the album, “This Is It,” it sold 5 million copies, making it the 3rd biggest album in 2009.
As for other deals, the executors:
– Republished the “Moonwalk” book
– Made mega-merchandising agreements for all things Jacko
– Distributed a leather-bound, coffee table book on the life of MJ
– Renegotiated MJ’s royalty agreements with record label
But there were lots of legal fees that were incurred to make the estate money — more than $3.8 million since Jacko’s death.
The estate also notes what we’ve already reported — that they paid off the Jackson family home in Encino, bought Katherine Jackson a car and did lots of other stuff for the family.

Katherine Jackson Sues AEG Over Michael’s Death
Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson‘s children are suing AEG Live — claiming the company breached their agreement to provide physical care for Michael Jackson — and that AEG was negligent in their hiring of Conrad Murray as MJ’s doctor.
In the suit, Katherine claims AEG’s contract with Michael “created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson.”
Here’s what’s interesting … the lawsuit mistakenly lists Katherine Jackson as a Guardian ad Litem for Michael’s 3 kids. Katherine is not a Guardian ad Litem — i.e. the legal representative. Katherine is the guardian of the children. This mistake, along with the fact that Katherine’s reps know nothing about the lawsuit suggests she is not actively involved in this case.
Kenny Ortega, who produced the planned London concerts for Michael, is also named as a defendant.
Story developing….
Katherine Jackson to Produce MJ Movies
What??? Something weird going on….
7/1/2010 12:25 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
TMZ has learned … Katherine Jackson is knee-deep in a business deal to produce and distribute several movies on Michael Jackson‘s life, and she is on a collision course with the MJ estate.
Howard Mann, the guy who co-authored Katherine’s coffee table book, “Never Can Say Goodbye,” is also producing a movie that will feature video from Michael Jackson’s childhood through the end of his life.
We’re told Katherine has hundreds of hours of video, including the family’s big move from Gary, Indiana to L.A. after The Jackson 5 signed with Motown.
We’re told Mann just bought the rights to 26 hours of Michael Jackson video … owned by Michael Jackson’s former business partner/confidant Marc Schaffel. We’re told Mann has paid Schaffel in the eight figures for the video.
Now here’s the problem … the Michael Jackson estate has the exclusive right to market Michael Jackson’s name and image. We’re told Mann and company are comfortable with their legal position, because the beneficiaries of the estate — Katherine and Michael’s kids — are profiting participants in the movie. In fact, Mann tells TMZ he and Katherine plan on releasing a series of movies.
The estate would not comment, but as far as our research shows, there’s no loophole when it comes to marketing Michael Jackson’s name and image — whether Katherine and the kids are beneficiaries or not.

Katherine Jackson ‘Planning Michael Movies’
MICHAEL JACKSON’s mother KATHERINE is reportedly in negotiations to produce a number of movies documenting her late son’s life.
The Jackson family matriarch is said to be teaming up with her new business partner Howard Mann, who collaborated on her recently-released coffee table book, for a series of films about the King of Pop.
Mann has allegedly paid millions of dollars to Jackson’s former business partner Marc Schaffel for 26 hours of footage of the singer from his childhood to use in the movies.
The clips, along with Katherine’s extensive home-videocollection, will form the basis of the big-screen ventures, according to TMZ.com.
The movies won’t be Jackson’s first posthumous appearance in cinemas – his concert film This Is It was released last year (09) and has so far grossed more than $260 million (£173 million).
Katherine Jackson and Mann are also said to be negotiating record deals to release 273 unheard songs by the late singer.

Katherine Jackson May Have Screwed Herself
What is happening with Katherine Jackson? We’re unsure of what to think lately… Man, I’d really hate it if people are screwing with her.
Originally posted Jun 28th 2010 12:20 PM PDT by TMZ Staff
Katherine Jackson‘s quest for money may have just cost her dearly … because TMZ has obtained legal papers from a South Korean newspaper that is going after everything she makes … until she pays off a $13 million debt.
Segye Times, a South Korean newspaper, filed papers with the Michael Jackson estate, informing the court it got a judgment against Katherine in 1994 for $4 million. That’s when the newspaper advanced Katherine, Joeand Jermaine $5.5 million for a series of Jackson family concerts that never took place.
Segye claims with interest the judgment now exceeds $13 million, and it wants an order from the judge forcing the estate to pay Segye any money the estate might pay Katherine.
Now here’s how Katherine screwed herself. By making all the deals she’s been making — for books, gala events and such — she’s made it clear to the world her goal is to roll in dough and Segye has taken notice.
