WED AUG 22nd 2007 Suit can't continue against hospital, Michael Jackson

A judge in Santa Maria ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit filed against pop star Michael Jackson and Marian Medical Center cannot continue in court as filed.

The suit was filed by the family of a Santa Maria woman who died at the hospital shortly after she was moved to another room to make space for the entertainer to be examined.

Judge Rodney Melville of Santa Barbara County Superior Court, who was also the judge in Jackson's child-molestation case two and a half years ago, granted demurrers filed by attorneys for Jackson and Marian Medical Center. He also gave the attorney for the plaintiffs, San Luis Obispo-based James McKiernan, 30 days in which to file a re-drafted complaint.

McKiernan immediately said he would re-file the necessary documents.

A demurrer is a pleading that attacks the legal sufficiency of an opponent's pleadings.

The complaint, filed in February, alleges abuse of celebrity status and blames Marian Medical Center and Jackson for the “outrageous, circus-like atmosphere they orchestrated during the last hours of Manuela Ruiz's life and its obvious emotional and mental lasting effects upon the plaintiffs.”

The plaintiffs, mostly children of Manuela Gomez Ruiz, are seeking undetermined damages. They allege intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, elder abuse, false imprisonment and conspiracy on the part of Jackson, Marian Medical Center and Catholic Healthcare West, which owns the hospital.

During his trial, which ultimately resulted in his acquittal on child-molestation charges, Jackson was taken to Marian Feb. 15, 2005, complaining of flu-like symptoms.

Ruiz, a 73-year-old woman who was on life-support after a massive heart attack, was moved from a two-bed trauma room so that Jackson could privately occupy the room, according to the plaintiffs' complaint.

Ruiz was moved to an exam room, while kept alive by hand-pumped oxygen, until she could be reconnected to life-support machines. She had another heart attack, but milling crowds delayed her arrival at the critical-care unit, according to the complaint. She died later that evening.

During the hearing Tuesday, the attorney for the hospital, Santa Barbara-based Hugh Spackman, argued that facts alleged in the case were filed under an ill-fitting cause of action.

McKiernan, attorney for the plaintiffs, defended the allegations in the complaint as being based on an “outrageous set of facts,” and he described the events surrounding Jackson's hospital stay as “highly unusual.”

Outside court after Melville's granting of the demurrers, McKiernan said the judge didn't find that Jackson or the hospital had a duty to Ruiz's relatives.

McKiernan said he will file a re-drafted complaint in the case.

“We're always confident in our work,” he said.

Spackman and the attorney representing Jackson in the case, Timothy Gorry of Los Angeles, declined to comment on the judge's ruling.

TUES AUG 21st 2007 Will.i.am Interview

An interview of singer and producer Will.i.am by the German newspaper 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' has been published by the web site jetzt.de.

SZ: So what's your opinion as a businessman: Will the new Michael-Jackson-album, which you take part in, be a success? Will it ever appear at all?
Will.i.am: I think it will appear. But to all the rest: no comment. The deal between Michael Jackson and me is pretty simple: Whenever he calls I get into the studio with him. There have been already some recordings and we will meet again in the studio in November. He is supercool. So is Prince.

SZ: So you've also worked with Prince? The guy just has offended the recordindustry again, in making his new CD just an extra gift in a daily newspaper.

Will.i.am: A visionary. I performed on stage with him. A few month ago I was with the Black Eyed peas in Las Vegas. Prince called me, while he was gambling in a Casino: " Hey, do you wanna perform with me today?" "Sure", I said, "of cuz!" The next day an assistant of Prince called and said: "Prince would like to know, if you'd like to perform with him again this evening." if I would like? What's cooler than to perform with Prince? Exactly: Two days in a row to perform with him! A few minutes later I got another call: "Hey this is Mike! What are you doing around?" Mike? Michael Jackson? Wow! He had changed the studio around that time from Ireland to Las Vegas. So I said: " Hey, I'm performing with Prince here this evening!" - "Prince? That's great!" - "You should be there!" - "Really? You think that would be cool?" - "That would be so damn cool!" - "Okay, then I'll be there also." You must imagine that: I'm performing with Prince and Michael will be there in the audience! Holy shit! How likely it is, that a person first gets a call from Prince and only minutes later Michael Jackson calls?

SZ: The likelihood should be around zero.

Will.i.am: Exactly. Okay so in the early evening I'm on my way to the concert and - stuck in the traffic! F ! % K, I think, there is no worse moment possible to stick in a traffic jam? So I'm jumping out of my car and start running. I make it in time in the last second into the club. Everything goes wonderful, after three minutes I'm going off stage, Prince shouts into his microphone: " Give it up for Will.i.am!" and I sneak through the hall and sit down at the table of - Michael Jackson. He really attended! "How did you like me?" I ask him. He answers: "I didn't know at all that you're rapping." What? The guy let me come to Ireland and he didn't know that I'm not only a producer but also a rapper! I said: "You're never hearing my music, never watching my videos? I'm the damn main rapper of the Black Eyed Peas!" Anyway. Aside from Michael Jackson is sitting the actor Chris Tucker und then Prince comes down from the stage right into our direction...

SZ: ... and see Michael Jackson at the table with you?

Will.i.am: Yo. He wears his bass with its belt and stops in front of our table. So there are sitting: Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker and me. Prince stands right in front of Michael and improvises on his bass: slap! He's not doing anything else, nothing else! Doesn't say a thing. He's just playing! What a scene. After Prince returned to the stage, Michael says to me: " Prince has played his bass right into my face! What the heck?" Well, I say: "You're incognito! Imagine Prince had said: 'Yay and you know Michael Jackson is sitting here.' Ppl were already crazy cuz of Prince but would have been completely out of mind if they'd have known you were here also." Well that was the craziest night of my life!

SZ: And if you tell the story, nobody believes you.

Will.i.am: I wouldn't believe it myself! But what can I say: It's true. Every word. The next morning I had breakfast with Michael Jackson, we worked a bit on some songs - and that was the last time I've seen him.

SAT AUG 18th 2007 NEW J5 MUSIC?

NOTE : JANET JACKSON WAS NOT PART OF J5!

Richard Altomare, the boss of luggage movement company Universal Express, bought a collection of unclaimed personal belongings from the warehouse. When he was going through the belongings he discovered tapes reported to contain almost 60 unreleased songs by The Jackson 5.

Reportedly, Altomare is negotiating with Sony as well as Michael and Janet Jackson in hopes of releasing the material:

"I've personally talked to Michael and Janet on the phone about the tapes, and even played on a couple of songs for them. At first there was silence on the other end of the line, but that was quickly followed by giggles as if it brought them back to the day those songs were recorded."

FRI AUG 17th 2007 ROGER FRIEDMAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A call to action to support Michael Jackson.

From Louis Flores, 'Michael Jackson Conspiracy' Assistant.

To our friends and supporters,

This is what it looks like when a reporter won't come clean and admit to his bias against Mr. Jackson: a mess is created that continues to do real injury to Michael Jackson's public image. Raymone Bain is entirely right to defend Mr. Jackson. Not only is it her job, but she believes that the press must be held accountable when they intentionally rely on “faulty” sources. This is like playing a dangerous game of hit-and-run in the media. A reporter such as Roger Friedman figuratively runs over Michael Jackson’s reputation, and then he speeds away from the proverbial crime scene.

The media must be put on notice that "complete lies," "untruths," and other distortions cannot intentionally be published forever. That’s what Mr. Friedman thinks. Perhaps he thinks it is a twisted and fun game to print lies and half-truths – and then to provoke Ms. Bain into calling him on his act. He is like a child who can't keep his hand out of the cookie jar.

On behalf of Michael Jackson, I am calling on those of you who are capable of doing so, to please buy a copy of Michael Jackson Conspiracy and mail it to Mr. Friedman at FOX News. This book actually tells the truth about Michael’s innocence! If enough people send copies of the book to Roger Freidman, then maybe he’ll actually read it – and stop spreading falsehoods, while pretending that he doesn’t know the truth about the 2005 trial.

Please mail a copy of Michael Jackson Conspiracy to the address provided below:

Mr. Roger Friedman

FOX News

1211 Avenue of the Americas

New York, NY 10036

Main Tel: (212) 301-3000

Thus far, those of you who have joined our movement already know that it is possible for a mainstream reporter to alter the perception of Michael Jackson. It is now time to use the evidence that Ms. Jones has collected in Michael Jackson Conspiracy against all the hold-outs in the mainstream media, who continue to let their pre-conceived notions creep into their media reports about Michael Jackson.

Yours sincerely,

--Louis Flores

RAYMONE BAIN RESPONDS TO "UNTRUTHS"
Letter to Roger Friedman states that Mr. Friedman relies on unbelievable sources
Exposes the “complete lie” about a Michael Jackson, Marion Barry connection
Ms. Bain demands a retraction
August 15, 2007

Roger:

In your column dated August 14, 2007, you indicate that Michael Jackson is "homeless, carting around w/ three school-aged kids ... but, Michael Jackson has a new friend: former imprisoned crack addict and Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry." And, you state further that I introduced the two of them.

All of this, Roger, is a complete lie. I do not know who your sources are, or why you continue to believe them. I do not know why you continue to write untruths which can be verified as untruths. I do not know why you do not check to determine the accuracy of your sources. And, I do not know why you have such venom for Michael Jackson. But, let me state for the record:

1) FACT: Michael Jackson has neither met, nor does he know Former Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion S. Barry, Jr., neither has he been in his presence while on the East Coast, and vice-versa. PERIOD.

2) FACT: While Former Mayor Barry and I are friends, and, while we have oftentimes indicated our desire to have lunch, because of schedule conflicts, I have not seen him in at least two years.

3) FACT: "Michael Jackson is not homeless, carting around with three school-aged kids....." While where Mr. Jackson is currently residing is his own private business, Mr. Jackson will never be "homeless" as long as he owns the 3,000 acre estate called Neverland Valley Ranch, which to my knowledge, and at this date, he has not sold. Mr. Jackson has a tutor for his children who is certified and qualified. As we are in the summer months, and most children in the United States are on vacation until classes begin later in the month, the same applies to Mr. Jackson's children

I will let Mr. Jackson's attorneys deal with other issues you have raised should they see fit; and, I will let Marion Barry deal with your portrayal of him, should he see fit. But I find it unbelievable that you dedicated almost your entire column on background of Marion Barry when neither he or Michael Jackson have met.

I am respectfully requesting an immediate retraction regarding the issues I have previously outlined.

Thank you very much for your attention and cooperation.

Raymone K. Bain

THURS AUG 16TH 2007 LA Judges Denies Womans Custody

A London woman who claims she is the real mother of Michael Jackson’s three children was denied a role Wednesday in the singer’s custody settlement with his ex-wife, Deborah Rowe.

Nona Paris Lola Jackson, 36, asked a judge to grant her joint physical custody of Jackson’s 10-year-old son, Prince Michael, and 9-year-old daughter, Paris. She also claims to be the mother of 5-year-old Prince Michael II.

“I feel her evidence fails to establish any genetic relationship between herself and the Jackson-Rowe children,” Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider said.

Schnider also denied the woman’s request to nullify Jackson’s marriages with Rowe and with Lisa Marie Presley, both of which ended in divorce.

Nona Jackson was heard in the courtroom through a telephone and loudspeaker. Jackson and Rowe were not present.

Jackson settled a custody fight with Rowe over his two eldest children in September. Details of that agreement have not been released. Jackson has not identified the mother of Prince Michael II.

Nona Jackson sought joint physical custody of the children while giving Jackson legal custody. In court papers, she offered a tentative schedule for visits. She also asked the court to grant her child support in an amount to be determined by Jackson, along with possession of his Neverland Ranch and a San Fernando Valley home.

“Debbie’s hospital records will prove that my kids are not hers because of DNA,” she stated.

In court papers, Nona Jackson contended that “Michael and I are a sexually active couple and have been this way from the beginning.” She also claimed to have written more than 3,000 songs for him.

The woman’s three previous attempts to have a say in the custody battle were rejected by the same judge last November and in February and May on grounds that she had failed to notify Jackson and Rowe of the hearings.

With Wednesday’s ruling, it was unclear if she had any more legal options.

“I guess it’s possible she could always do something else,” said Marta B. Almli, Rowe’s attorney.

WED AUG 15th 2007 Michael Jackson sued by former lawyers

Michael Jackson's former entertainment lawyers filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the singer owes them more than $113,000.

The law firm Lavely & Singer of Los Angeles says Jackson agreed in arbitration last year to pay them $180,000 in three installments.

Jackson failed to make the final payment of $113,750 before the July 31, 2007, deadline stipulated in the settlement, the firm alleges in a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

A message left for Jackson's publicist, Raymone Bain, was not immediately returned Tuesday. His lawyer, Christopher Mellott, could not be reached after hours Tuesday.

A judge last month ordered the 48-year-old pop singer to pay more than $256,000 in legal fees to another firm that handled some side issues during his 2005 child molestation trial.

Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges in the case.

SAT AUG 11th 2007 NAVI

Miming in front of a mirror with a hairbrush to his mouth the gangly Ilford teenager could never have imagined he would one day enjoy the glittering popstar lifestyle of the idol he adored.

As the world's best-known Michael Jackson impersonator, Navi (as he prefers to be known) has tasted the sweet fruits of pop superstardom without ever selling a single record, but admits he was mocked for his dreams as a child and teenager.

One of eleven children, he could easily have slipped into obscurity amidst the hustle and bustle of family life, but a momentous decision made at a tender age, ensured he would never be ignored again.

A tenacious dancer since childhood, Navi idolised the new breed of popstar that appeared during the late 1970s and early 1980s, who combined gymnastic physical routines with powerful vocals during their performances.

David Bowie, Luther Vandross and Tina Turner were early influences, but it wasn't until 1979, the year his family emigrated from Trinidad to Britain, that Navi first experienced the genius of Michael Jackson, the artist who would come to define his life.

He said: "I was about six years old and remember switching on the radio and hearing this incredible sound which just made me want to dance.

advertisement"It was one of the tracks from his early solo album, Off the Wall, and I pretty much knew from that moment that I wanted to be just like him."

Navi's family, and Friends at Valentines High School, in Cranbrook Road, teased him for seeking to emulate the former Jackson 5 star, but were soon forced to take him seriously.

He said: "My parents used to think I was just going through a phase I would grow out of, but I knew that I wanted to be a performer.

"I was about 15 years old when I entered, and won, a Michael Jackson impersonation competition which changed the way I saw myself.

"I'd always loved Michael Jackson and wanted to be like him but I d never thought of impersonating him professionally until that point."

Navi's adulation of Jackson was finally cemented when he attended the momentous Bad tour in 1988, where he was mesmerised by the singer's live routine.

Buoyed with confidence, the ambitious teenager signed up with a talent agency as a Michael Jackson impersonator and, after a disappointing spell advertising a brand of peanut butter, was soon receiving a flood of glamorous bookings.

He said: "Things really started to take off in the early 90s when I started to get well paid work, such as being flown across Europe by Richard Branson to perform at the opening of a load of his Virgin Megastores.

"It was like a dream being able to do precisely what I love doing in front of large crowds of people - and getting paid for it."

Navi, who has undergone extensive plastic surgery to look more like the American superstar, admits his 19-year career has had its fair share of strange moments.

He said: "I've been asked to do some really varied things, from performing at working mens clubs up north to singing at the birthday of a member of the royal family of Bahrain.

"Perhaps the strangest gig I've ever had was when Michael's people hired me to act as his body double in 1993.

"They flew me to Thailand in an attempt to divert press attention away from him during the court case he was involved in at the time.

"Everyone genuinely thought I was the man himself, and I was even pictured on the front cover of The Times newspaper, supposedly as Michael Jackson, which was totally bizarre."

The 34-year-old, who has visited Jackson at his Neverland estate in California, admits he is glad he can leave the world of pop superstardom behind whenever he chooses.

He said: "After experiencing certain aspects of the life that Michael leads, I can genuinely say that I don't envy him.

"He is a genius, and the best singer/-performer there has ever been, but the price of that has been this unreal world he lives in which he can never really escape.

"Some people like the champagne and caviar thing, but I'm more of a kebab man myself."

The devout Christian, whose family are regular worshippers at the City Gates Christian Centre, in High Road, Ilford, recently performed to visitors at the Mauritian Cultural Day in Lloyd's Park, Walthamstow.

Navi's next London performance will be at the Hippodrome, Leicester Square, on Sunday, August 26, to celebrate Michael Jackson's 49th birthday.

FRI AUG 03rd 2007 MJ & SONY sells Beatles song for use in diaper ad

Superstar Michael Jackson (AND SONY!!!!) has licensed the use of the Beatles' song All You Need Is Love for a series of new advertisements - for a diaper company.

The Thriller hitmaker still has a stake in the music publishing company Sony/ATV, which owns the rights to the Fab Four's back catalogue.

But the company's decision to license the hit All You Need Is Love to pharmaceutical and cosmetics firm Proctor + Gamble is a "surprise" to John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, because they had always given her advance notice of their intentions in the past.

The song will appear in adverts for the Luvs branded diapers, according to the New York Daily News.
