TMZ Articles / Dr. Conrad Murray -- Saved by Secret Money Man

Dr. Conrad Murray -- Saved by Secret Money Man
Originally posted 14 minutes ago by TMZ Staff


Dr. Conrad Murray won't lose his Nevada medical license ... because a fat-pocketed friend lent Murray nearly $16k to pay off his child support debt.

As we previously reported, Murray was behind on child support and under Nevada law the Medical Board can yank the license of a deadbeat dad doc.

We're told Murray got a friend to ante up the cash ... we do not know his/her identity.

Under the terms of the settlement, Murray will have to pay $1,103 a month to his baby mama to stay current.

And, we're told, Murray has been getting financial help from a number of patients.

Michael Jackson Estate Threatened with Lawsuit
Originally posted 19 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

The co-author of a new book on Michael Jackson has threatened to sue the Michael Jackson estate for allegedly trying to discredit the book.



Howard Mann (center, along with Katherine and two others) -- a businessman who has made money on nude online gambling and nude wrestling -- hooked up with Katherine Jackson to create a coffee table book called "Never Can Say Goodbye."

Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman told TMZ earlier this week, Mann had no right "to exploit any estate assets" and would take "whatever action is necessary to prevent him from unlawfully profiting."

Mann now tells TMZ, "The comments by the lawyers for the Estate of Michael Jackson are designed to create fear and ambiguity and may impede our ability to maximize the profits that Vintage Pop (the publisher) and the beneficiaries of the Estate are entitled to enjoy.  These actions are torturous interference and will NOT be accepted and will result [in] litigation to recover the damages against our company."

Weitzman tells TMZ, "The estate will continue to protect its assets when appropriate," adding, "If Mr. Mann or his attorney want to communicate with me, they can contact me directly."

Friends Say Katherine Jackson is Joe's Puppet
Originally posted 17 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

People closely connected to the Jackson family tell TMZ they believe Joe Jackson is manipulating Katherine Jackson to make a quick buck -- to the point she's now in business with a dude who's in the erotic content business.



Katherine's has partnered with Howard Mann for her new book, "Never Can Say Goodbye: The Katherine Jackson Archives," according to hollywoodnews.com.  Mann has made a fortune on online gambling and erotic content, venturing into online nude gambling.  

And Katherine has sold a story about Michael's kids to a tabloid and even helped Joe sell cheesy MJ belts.  But here's the thing -- Katherine doesn't need the money.  She's getting an allowance from Michael's estate and will have the use of untold millions of dollars generated by co-executors John Branca and John McClain.

Joe, on the other hand, isn't getting squat from the estate or from Michael's will, and he needs money stat.

As one insider put it, "Katherine is a strong woman who can stand up to pretty much anyone but Joe.  There's too much history there.  Joe has always controlled her and always will."

(Poll) Book, belt, tabloid story

    * Cheesy
    * Appropriate

(Poll) Is Joe manipulating Katherine?

    * Yes
    * No

Michael Jackson’s mother publishes book about her son

Sunday, June 20, 2010

Almost one year since the death of her cherished son, the King of Pop’s mother, is set to release her first ever book: Never Can Say Good Bye: The Katherine Jackson Story.

Mrs Jackson teams up with Vintage Pop Media to create a family-album-style coffee table book for MJ fans. The hard cover edition, contains 150 pages of high-gloss, never-before-seen photos punctuated with anecdotes, quotes and her inside perspective on raising Michael Jackson.

"I wanted to release a tribute book about Michael to thank his fans for all their love and support over the years..." Katherine states, in an effort to clear the air of negative press that surrounded Jackson’s life, “My son has been misunderstood and this was my way to share what kind of person he really was.”

Katherine’s story addresses all the defining moments in Michael’s life that shaped and molded him into the mega icon he was, told through the eyes of the woman he was closest to throughout his life. Never Can Say Good Bye is about Michael Jackson, the superstar... and the son.

And keeping in typical MJ tradition, some of the proceeds from her book will go to a good cause. "I wanted to give a portion of the book to charity because that’s the way Michael would have wanted it."

Never Can Say Good Bye: The Katherine Jackson Story retails online for $59.99, with an addition electronic version free with purchase. Readers get a 35% discount throughout the weekend, with coupon code: MJ LIVES

Considering that Dr. Murray is due to next appear in court on June 14th, next Monday, TMZ has been rather low-key about it. Have I missed something here? Last I heard was that there could be a possible delay but it was never confirmed.

TMZ has learned tons of Michael Jackson fans are descending upon MJ's tomb on the 1-year anniversary of his death -- even though they've been banned from the mausoleum.

As we previously reported, Forest Lawn Cemetery -- where Jackson is entombed -- claims they've adopted a new policy in which security is instructed to remove anyone hanging out in front of the King of Pop's mausoleum.

But a rep for Justice4MJ -- the fan group organizing the mass pilgrimage -- tells TMZ they are "absolutely" still going to visit the singer's burial place on the big day .. June 25th.

A rep for Forest Lawn tells us they have not yet figured out how they plan to handle the MJ anniversary ... but they will work with the Jackson family and abide by their wishes.

As for the MJ fans, one member of the group tells us, "Nothing will stop us from being with MJ on the 25th!"

TMZ Articles / Michael Jackson Estate -- MJ Belts Are Bogus!
« on: May 27, 2010, 03:13:24 AM »

An extremely fancy belt commemorating Michael Jackson -- and allegedly "sanctioned" by Joe Jackson and Katherine Jackson -- can be yours for the bargain basement price of $1,500 -- problem is ... the whole thing may be illegal.



Check out this picture we got -- showing Joe and Katherine Jackson signing one of the belts ... and according to the official website promoting the belts, MJ's three kids -- Prince, Paris, and Blanket -- also signed their names.

Here's the problem.  The belts feature several images trademarked by Michael Jackson -- including dancing feet, MJ's silhouette and the MJ crest -- and MJ's estate must authorize any commercial use of those trademarks, as well as MJ's name or image.

So of course we called MJ estate lawyer Howard Weitzman, who said the belts were news to him and that the executors never authorized the sale.  Weitzman says, "The Trustees of the Estate of Michael Jackson did not authorize the making or the sale of the Michael Jackson Tribute Belts."  Weitzman continues, "We would never condone the use of Michael's children's signatures to promote the sale of merchandise."

We haven't found out who's behind the website ...  but Jerry Olivarez, a PR guy and friend of the Jackson family, has been touting the sale of the belts.  We're told the site goes live today and 7,000 belts will go up for sale.  And, there will be an auction for the belt signed by Joe, Katherine, and the kids -- opening bid is $5 grand.

Attempts to speak with Olivarez were unsuccessful.

Jason Pfeiffer -- who went on TV last week and talked about his alleged affair with MJ -- says he's received 10 to 12 serious death threats from around the world.

Pfeiffer's boss and MJ's former best friend, Dr. Arnold Klein, is also getting threats after telling TMZ about the alleged affair.  We've obtained one of the threats, which reads,

"You rotton son of a bitch, how dare you let that fat slob make those accusations about Michael,you should be ashamed,Michael thought you were his friend!!!!!!!!!!! Someone is going to pay for this dearly,maybe with a bullet?"

Harvey answers the question about whether MJ would have wanted it, if he were alive, for Arnie Klein to tell that guy to come out about their 'romance'. Harvey feels that MJ would NOT have wanted it, because he's been very private about that area of his life. Arnold Klein also called during TMZ Live to talk to Harvey about it, and Harvey promises to come up with a post on it over the weekend.





Question to me is, why is a supposed good friend of MJ's doing this? of all people, wouldn't Arnold know the truth, and isn't it the truth that MJ is not homosexual since he has denied it?

TMZ Articles / TMZ Live 28/04, Omar Bhatti
« on: April 28, 2010, 03:54:27 PM »
Ok, this is soo weird. Harvey & Mike just were talking a long while about Omar Bhatti, about the rumours as to whether he's Michael's son, and also why he lived at Neverland, and brought up him sitting on the front row at the memorial. and they had that 'look' on their faces again, like they know something we don't!!

What are they trying to say here?? Is this another 'piece' (by piece)??

Mike:
Actually I think we should address this. There're alot of questions about this.
Me and you talked, I don't know if it was yesterday or before, we talked about Omar, and Katherine, and we joked about it like, we know something no one else knows, we weren't saying that you guys out there don't know. Alot of people know the story about Omar. And I - it's like - I remember doing this going 'oarh', because we knew a couple of things about Omar that had nothing with him living over there, just about him personally. And we weren't meaning to say that Omar and his story is widely known by the public about the fact that his dad was friends of Michael Jackson, he end up - he lived at Neverland. And now he lives with Katherine -

 
Harvey: Well no he doesn't.

M: Well, he did.

H: He did.

M: But until recently.

H: Well, he - I can tell you this. He left the country and he ain't coming back to that house.

M: Right, and the other argument - and half of my questions are this - is that, we said he claims to be Michael Jackson's son. That - its - he hasn't come out to say that before. Alot of people claim he says that to them, and Joe Jackson - Michael's dad - even has done interviews where he says 'see, this is, look at Michael's...', he's insinuated it too. We've actually never published it -

H: How does he end up at Neverland, and then in Havenhurst?

M: Well, the story goes that Omar's dad was good friends with Michael, and Omar's dad got sick, or died. I'm not sure if he died, I know - there's something happened and he ended up coming to Neverland for some time, stayed, because of his family situation.

H: Why does Katherine bring him in?

M: Well, it's weird about that. That's the part I think, how does he end up, even after 18, he's like 25, and still lives there with the family. That is very - well and you know when I really started talking about Omar, he was at the front row at the funeral. WIth the kids, wearing the same thing -

H: Right right I know that

M: That was one of the things that kind of changed it for me.

Joe Jackson 'Horrified' at Dr. Murray Defense

Posted Apr 4th 2010 2:55PM by TMZ Staff

Joe JacksonMichael Jackson's father says he is "horrified" by the prospect Dr. Conrad Murray's legal team will argue that Michael Jackson accidentally killed himself by pumping a lethal dose of Propofol into his body.

TMZ broke the story that the defense believes Jackson woke up shortly before noon on the day he died, when Dr. Conrad Murray stepped out of the room, and injected enough Propofol in himself to almost immediately stop his heart.

Joe Jackson tells TMZ, "I don't believe it. It's not true. Why would he [Dr. Murray] hide all the bottles if such a story were true?"

Joe Jackson added, "The Coroner's report shows the story is not true," adding, "This really upsets me to hear this."

Joe Jackson plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Murray. While Joe Jackson's lawyer, Brian Oxman, says, "His [Dr. Murray's] story is medically inconsistent with the autopsy findings, he says before knowing for sure, "I would need to see the photographs of the scene in order to assess his story."
