[gfont=Finger Paint]Billboard Music Awards Planning "Spectacular" Michael Jackson Moment That Will "Make TV History"[/gfont]

Is Michael Jackson returning to the stage?

toofab has learned there's a top-secret, hush-hush MJ "moment" going down at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards. While the details are mysterious, we're told it's not a "tribute" from other performers and any speculation already out in the press is "wrong."

The Estate of Michael Jackson was present at a closed dress rehearsal for the "moment" at 6:30pm on Thursday in Las Vegas -- and we're told everyone watching had to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to keep the specifics under wraps.

Here's what we do know ...

- Insiders describe the spot as "a world on stage that captures the essence of Michael, all the excitement and magic that is MJ."

- It will also include music from Jackson's posthumus "Xscape" album, which was just released worldwide on Tuesday.

- We're told it'll make stunts like 2Pac's now infamous hologram performance at Coachella look "like a 1980s video game."

All will be revealed on Sunday night, when the Billboard Music Awards go down at 8pm on ABC.

Published 05.15.14

What do you guys think? It sounds pretty bammy to me but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I suspect it's just another hologram... although the article purports that all media speculation is wrong about the performance, they do seem to suggest a comparison to Tupac's hologram. Would a "better hologram" really be all that exciting?

'This is it': Barbara Walters to announce retirement
Andrew Rafferty TODAY
5 hours ago

Barbara Walters is set to announce her retirement.
After an expansive and distinguished career that made her one of the best known journalists in the world, Barbara Walters will be calling it quits, ABCNews.com reported late Sunday.

The newscaster will announce Monday on her show “The View” that – after 37 years with ABC News – she will be retiring in the summer of 2014, the website reports. She will continue to host the talk show and report for ABC News until her retirement.

Walters career began in 1961 at NBC’s TODAY where she eventually became a co-host. In 1976 she made history by becoming the first female to anchor an evening news program when she joined ABC “Evening News.” She became a co-host of “20/20” three years later.

In recent years she has become best known for her role as a host of “The View,” a round-table talk show she created in 1997. She will retain her title of executive producer of the show even after she ceases to appear on it.

Walters told The New York Times, “When I go there is not going to be any, ‘Please can I have another appearance?’ I don’t want to do any more interviews. I don’t want to do any other programs. I’m not joining CNN. This is it.

I posted this on my Hoaxbook but thought I'd post it here too. It's an article dated June 22, 2010. Probably nothing to put stock in, but it was one of the only things that came up when I googled the 30th anniversary of Thriller.

Michael Jackson to celebrate 30 years of 'Thriller' with 'This is REALLY it' tour

Michael Jackson was recently spotted at the Des Moines International Airport. A spokesperson for Jackson said that "Nothing could stop Michael from Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Thriller with his fans. He really wants to reach the brains of his fans."

Michael Jackson Super Fan Corie Hooper is very enthusiastic about Jackson's return and quick to defend her King of Pop. "I don't care what the critics say, MJ looks and sounds better than ever!" She said.

Jackson, who passed away on June 25th 2009, told local media that he has been flying all over the world setting up venues for the tour in the works. The tour, dubbed "Thriller 30: This is Really it!" is set to start in Des Moines, Iowa at the Wells Fargo Arena on December 21, 2012. The show will include all of the original cast of the 'Thriller' Video including a zombified Vincent Price.

Jackson plans to make appearances in and around the world starting on November 30, 2012 as this is exactly 30 years from the release of 'Thriller'.

According to the Los Angeles Times, 'Thriller' is the best selling album of all time winning Jackson a total of 8 Grammy Awards.. The album was so popular that movie studios seriously considered making the songs 'Thriller' and 'Billie Jean' into full length feature films.

Since Jackson's 2009 death, his estate has made over one billion dollars according to the Los Angeles Times. This has allowed him to spare no expense with the tour. "I want my Infectious music to spread through the world and change it as it goes..." Jackson gurgled.

Jackson noticed that videos of "Thriller 30: This is REALLY It" rehearsals leaked onto the internet and though he liked the publicity, his label has had the videos removed. This, coupled with the release of the upcoming XBOX360 Michael Jackson video game, the tour is sure to have the publicity needed to gather steam... even if the starring cast suffers from rigor mortis.

And some great research from the wonderful onthewingsoflove:

Relax everyone! Personally I think this has been posted just for us here on the hoax forum, to get us looking for his return in one way (Thriller), when he returns in another way! I found out that Examiner.com who posted this story is a division of Clarity Media Group, with the primary investor being billionaire businessman Philip Anschutz, owner of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Regal Cinemas, and other media and entertainment companies. And guess what? Philip knows Michael! Here is a quote from a recent 9/3/12 article in the Chicago Tribune, "Anschutz invited Jackson to a meeting at a Las Vegas villa in September 2008. Paul Gongaware, an AEG Live executive who knew Jackson, emailed colleagues a strategy memo. Wear casual clothes, he told them, "as MJ is distrustful of people in suits" and expect to talk "fluff" with "Mikey." I repeat, relax!

Twitter ~ Verified Accounts / Kanye's Cryptic Tweet

Kanye West Takes Dramatic Hiatus From Twitter

Looks like Kanye West is looking for a fresh start.

In true Yeezy fashion (i.e., puzzling and overly-dramatic), the 35-year-old rapper cleaned house on Twitter by deleting every one of his tweets on Thursday, save for one that reads "BE BACK SOON."

Gone forever are the gems: "I just threw some kazoo on this b***h," "Sometimes I get emotional over fonts," "Classical music is tight yo" and (the classic) "What do I have to do to get a simple persian rug with cherub imagery uuuuugh."

Girlfriend Kim Kardashian's tweets since ("Dolls, don't forget to shop!") lend little explanation to the sudden hiatus.

What do you think caused Kanye's cryptic vacation from Twitter?

I don't have a Twitter account so I'm not able to post screen shots, but I thought this was coincidental... I don't know much about Back/Front yet either (lots of reading to do!) but I thought this tweet might interest some of you.

Even if it doesn't mean anything, I hope you have a good laugh at some of Kanye's other tweets featured in the article!  :icon_lol:

TMZ Articles / Usher Resurrects MJ... Through KARAOKE

USHER
Resurrects MJ ...
Through KARAOKE [VIDEO]
EXCLUSIVE




The song requires some pretty impressive falsetto -- but Usher hit ALL the notes early Tuesday morning at Rock & Reilly's on the Sunset Strip ... and the crowd loved every second of it, singing along the whole time.

Sources tell TMZ, Usher had been hanging out upstairs in a private area with friends throughout the night -- but came down around 1am to show the bar how karaoke is REALLY done.

(It's a pretty ironic song choice -- considering Usher was NOT there ... at his stepson's funeral two weeks ago ... though the singer never explained why.)

Nevertheless -- tough act to follow.

I really don't know how much credence to give to this article. There are a lot of crazies at play here. I'm interested in what you all think about it!

The Doctor Will Sue You Now
When famed dermatologist Arnold Klein, the Father of Botox, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and love of celebrity, landed Michael Jackson as a client, it was a dream fulfilled. But in the wake of Jackson’s death, Klein has been engulfed by a toxic cloud of accusation, litigation, and bankruptcy.
By Mark Seal

Traitors are not tolerated in the kingdom of Dr. Arnold Klein. The 67-year-old Father of Botox, who once led a Beverly Hills beauty revolution and became nearly as famous as the stars he treated, is now waging war against his enemies. The list is long. First, there are the powers in the music business who arranged the final concert tour of his most famous patient, the late Michael Jackson. He charges them with conspiring to control the singer’s estate and with using Klein as a scapegoat by alleging that he had gotten Jackson addicted to the narcotic Demerol. Then there are the rats who he says masqueraded as patients in order to issue him a subpoena, forcing him to appear before the Medical Board of California for purported irregularities. Worst of all are his former office manager and former accountant. He alleges that they have attempted to ruin him by releasing Jackson’s medical records in the involuntary-manslaughter trial of the singer’s personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who was convicted last November and sentenced to four years in prison. He also alleges that they embezzled tens of millions of dollars from him and tried to kill him. Because of them, Klein claims, he was forced to declare bankruptcy in January 2011, put one of his homes on the market, and auction off his art and memorabilia.

Klein is also striking back at the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.), which he says is a “drug cartel” controlled by the pharmaceutical giants, and at the jackals of the media. To keep his followers and fans up-to-date, he posts intimate details about his predicament on Facebook.

I approached the doctor for an interview, but he informed me through his publicistthat if I intended to interview his former employees I would get no cooperation from him. Then one day in November my phone rang, and Klein, in a deep, gravelly voice, began talking nonstop: “I’ve given my life for other people and have gotten screwed for it Do you know I discovered the first human gene? … Do you know I treated the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia? … My great-great-uncle is Albert Einstein Lawrence Klein, my cousin, won the Nobel Prize.”

He soon got to his former office manager, Jason Pfeiffer, and former accountant, Muhammad Khilji. In January 2011, Klein filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, listing assets of about $6 million and debts of $8.4 million. In June 2011 he filed suit against Pfeiffer and Khilji, as well as various banks and investment and mortgage companies. In the suit, Klein claims that on March 20, 2009, as he was recuperating from an unstated illness at his Laguna Beach house, Pfeiffer and Khilji brought documents for him to sign, including one that would allow them to make health decisions for him during any period of incapacity; a general power of attorney; a codicil to his will, naming them as executors; and an amendment to his trust, naming them as co-trustees. According to his complaint, “Dr. Klein discovered that his investment accounts were raided, bank accounts were opened in his name without his knowledge and then pilfered, and his assets were jeopardized.”

“They stole $22 million from me, O.K.?,” Klein told me on the phone. “If you are going to mention Jason Pfeiffer [and Muhammad Khilji], these guys who embezzled from me, illegally released Michael Jackson’s records, what are you going to say? Are you going to say they are good people? They are the scum of the earth!”

At one point he demanded, “Who funded 9/11?”

“You know who?”

“Pakistani Muslims, sir,” he said. “They use a system called hawala.”

Klein has claimed on Facebook that Khilji used hawala, the ancient informal money-transfer system employed by al-Qaeda to move funds around the world, to clean out his employer’s assets and transfer them into far-flung bank accounts, to which only he and Pfeiffer had access.

“They opened 41 illegal bank accounts in my name,” said Klein. “I have records of all this stuff. Also, they tried to overdose me … so I would bleed to death They tried to overdose me on Coumadin [blood thinner], because I was in atrial flutter [abnormal heart rhythm], and they changed my will in the middle of the night without notarizing it.”

All I wanted, I told Klein, was to write a balanced story about the case, which would necessitate interviewing both the doctor and his detractors. “Their filings are part of your bankruptcy filing,” I said.

“What you may think you know is zero,” he said. “You cannot interview Jason and Muhammad. You have to swear to me that you won’t.”

I told him Vanity Fair does not make such promises.

“If I show you all the forged bank accounts and everything, what is that going to do for you?” he asked.

“I’ll print them,” I said.

“Will you give me editorial control?” he asked.

“Of course I cannot do that,” I said.

Earlier he had told me, “I treat everyone in the world. Do you know what it is like to eat fried chicken in Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth? Michael [Jackson] opened every door. The other person who opened every door for me was [the actor] Danny Kaye. I’m sure you have never met the Maharaja of Baroda. I didn’t even know there was a Maharaja of Baroda when I met him I’m a Jewish kid, son of a rabbi, hyper-academic, Westinghouse scholar, who came to a weird world out in California because I hated Philadelphia.” (After speaking to me, Klein subsequently refused repeated requests for comment.)

Khilji and Pfeiffer deny all of Klein’s charges, including raiding his assets, opening illegal bank accounts, trying to overdose him, and changing his will. Khilji has said that Klein had recovered from an illness and “asked us” to bring him the documents “before something happened” to him. Both Pfeiffer and Khilji have filed counterclaims, and Khilji has said that Klein is an opportunist who squandered his fortune on a lifestyle he couldn’t afford.

The King of Lips
Arnold William Klein has always stood out. Born in the blue-collar Detroit suburb of Mount Clemens, Michigan, the bookworm forsook his family’s business—a health spa known for its mineral baths—for a degree in medicine. At the University of Pennsylvania, where he was influenced by Andy Warhol and the architect Louis Kahn, he considered specializing in psychiatry but eventually decided on dermatology. After graduating from the university’s school of medicine, he went on to become chief resident in dermatology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and then found himself languishing, at the age of 30, with a small practice in the town of Riverside, “giving light treatments and picking pimples,” he has written.

On the advice of an aunt, he tried his luck in Beverly Hills. “I was told there was no room for young doctors and I would starve,” he later wrote on Facebook. Nevertheless, he rented a 700-square-foot space and began telling local physicians, according to his own account, “ ‘Look, I’m really good, so send me your most difficult cases.’ … Six months later I had a full practice Soon, with the help of [the acne medication] Retin-A, I was fixing acne without light-treatments or voodoo.”

Within a year he was visited by Merv Griffin, who asked him to be a guest on his television show. Klein told the audience, among other things, how to recognize a melanoma. “The next day people were asking for my autograph, and soon thereafter I received 10,000 letters, many of which came from folks who said I had saved their lives.” Klein has written, “I did three more shows. On the third, I mentioned a little thing I was playing with called collagen.”

Thanks to collagen, the lips-and-wrinkle-line filler, Klein soon became known as the King of Lips. His expertise was officially recognized when the “ski jump” elevation in the upper lip was named the Glogau-Klein point in honor of him and fellow dermatologist Richard Glogau. His office expanded as his famous patients multiplied. By 1985 his reputation had grown to the point that, when he traveled to Rome for an audience with Pope John Paul II, the pontiff, according to Klein’s posting on Facebook, “lifted his pant leg to show me a skin condition no one in Rome could fix.” (Klein wrote that he had cured it.)

By 1981, Klein was living in a 30-room mansion, with his brother, two aunts, a cousin, a cook, and a housekeeper. His life was his patients, and he was on call 24–7. His office walls began filling with photographs of the beautiful and famous, including Rock Hudson. Handsome young men would soon be flocking to him with raised purple skin lesions, and Klein has written that he became the “first physician to diagnose Kaposi’s sarcoma [one of the opportunistic diseases associated with H.I.V.] in Southern California.”

Introduce yourself / Hello to all from a new member
« on: April 22, 2012, 05:04:51 AM »
Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a post-June 25th MJ fan but it's taken me almost 3 years to realize that all was not as it seemed on that day. I've been perusing this forum for the past two months or so and I've decided it was time to register. I don't know exactly how I found this site--all I can remember is all of a sudden getting this intense feeling that MJ was alive. I assume that's happened to most of you  :icon_e_wink:

I'll probably keep quiet for a while as I begin the REAL research necessary to engage in conversation worthy of your already established theories. I have immense respect for what you all have started on this forum and I am so looking forward to participating!

My plan is to start with The Man Himself--reading more about his life and origins in order to understand him as a person. I've heard tell of BACK and Front and TS and I will read their posts as well. Then it will be time to study the events surrounding June 25. If anyone has any other suggestions to point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Peace from France and Happy Earth Day from,
RememberHisTime
