Michael Jackson had millions of fans and supporters during his lifetime, but arguably the most ardent and vocal defender of the superstar since his death in 2009 has been older sibling Jermaine Jackson.
He continues to uphold the late King of Pop’s legacy and paint a favorable picture of him, both verbally and in his recently released book, ‘You Are Not Alone, Michael: Through a Brother’s Eyes.’
According to PopCrush, the iconic leather jacket that Michael Jackson wore in his famous ‘Thriller’ video sold for $1.8 million over the weekend at Julien’s Music Icons auction.
The jacket went to bidder Milton Verret, a Texas-based commodities trader, who says he will show the jacket “around the country in a tour that will help raise money for children’s charities.”
According to an article in this month's Vanity Fair, eccentric superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando were in New York to see a concert performance by their good friend Michael Jackson when the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 occurred. Fearing more terrorism, Jackson moved his entire entourage, which included Taylor and Brando, to New Jersey the day after the World Trade Center towers fell.
At that point, with all flights cancelled, Jackson rented a car and headed West with Taylor and Brando in tow.
In politics, vying for attention can be a difficult feat, what with all the scandalous love affairs, dishonest financial antics and hot-button social issues.
But it appears that Romanian lawmaker Edmond Talmacean may have found a way to catch the public's eye.
His method? Dancing.
April 7, 2011 This trial should be an interesting one to follow, and I for one will do that. I'm wondering to myself, if we'll ever get the real truth as to what happened? Fell free to comment.
Michael Jackson’s dermatologist was ordered to give copies of the pop star’s medical records Wednesday to attorneys for the doctor charged in Jackson’s death.
But a lawyer for Jackson’s estate was successful in convincing the judge not to order estate executors to give the defense detailed financial information about money the singer owed when he died.
Defense attorney Ed Chernoff argued Wednesday he needed the financial and medical information to make the case that Jackson, who was “a desperate man in many respects,” gave himself the fatal dose of surgical anesthesia while the doctor was not watching.
“He was actually in more debt as a result of the concerts than he would have obtained from doing the concerts,” Chernoff said.
