Yes just like a normal teen. Nothing out of the ordinary in this story .  Not nice having a  creepy relative like Brown making a living off fabricating stories about you. Poor Mike.

Are you referring to Stacy Brown the writer?..... or Stacee Brown, Rebbie's daughter?   :icon_e_confused:

As far as I know Stacy Brown isn't related...but I could be wrong on that I don't really pay much attention to Brown and his commentaries of late....

Why, what have you heard?  Did he marry a Jackson? :suspect:


Although wouldn't surprise me. Heck, Wade dated one of MJ's nieces and look at how that turned out. :icon_neutral:


Stacy Brown the "writer"/journalist

“He is on his phone 24/7, typically calling his baby mama, Nicole Alvarez, along with his attorney."

But jail officials didn’t expect that Dr. Murray or his associates would somehow profit from the phone, as was believed to have occurred recently.

His girlfriend, Alvrez, recently sold a voicemail message from the doctor in which he complained to a tabloid website about not being able to sleep, in order to pay her rent.


Whew, I'm feeling deja vu...could have sworn I said that this morning on another post!

I have a hunch "baby mama" Nicole is leaking the info to TMZ on Murray's behalf. Looks like somebody has to pay the rent and bill$ 


....if I didn't know any better, I'd think whoever got to Wade has also gotten to Murray.

What else would be his motivation for throwing the family under the bus and siding with AEG?


......interesting turn of events.  :ghsdf:

Big talk from a man who claims he doesn't want to be called to testify.  :icon_rolleyes:


In roughly 60 days or so, Murray is a free bird....so why is he "rattling the cage" now?


Who is trying to spin this whole AEG is the victim thing? :suspect:

I'm just skimming over this article (it's 2 a.m. and I can't sleep).....but it sounds like they are attempting to put a lien on Neverland for back owed taxes. :icon_e_confused:

My guess is the estate filed "estimated" taxes on the value of Neverland and MJ's net worth at the time of his death and it's now rearing it's ugly head some 4 years later.

Considering the huge jump in his net worth since then, it's no wonder it has red flagged the IRS...yet again. :suspect:

Big Tax Bill Looms For Jackson Estate

The Tax Man is in the mirror for the estate of the late King of Pop.

Creditors and heirs of Michael Jackson hoping for a cut of his musical empire will have to line up with the Internal Revenue Service, which could lay claim to $80 million or more in federal estate taxes.

To settle his tax bill, the executors of his estate may have to sell or borrow against lucrative but hard-to-value assets or ask the IRS for a multi-year extension. That could allow the estate to pay the tab over time with earnings from Jackson's share in rights to songs by the Beatles and his own music - prized properties whose value will likely make the estate's tax bill only bigger.

"The government is not going to take a Beatles record as payment. They want to be paid in cash," said Roy Kozupsky, a veteran estate lawyer in New York who has worked on behalf of several wealthy clients.

Given the convoluted nature of Jackson's finances, coming up with the cash won't be easy. Technically, the tax bill is due nine months after the date of death. In special cases, estates can spread out the payments for a period of up to 14 years. Once paid, the tax bill could dramatically shrink the inheritance passed on to the pop star's heirs - his 79-year-old mother and three children.

"It's going to mean less money going to the beneficiaries," said Lawrence Heller, a partner in the tax and estate practice of the law firm Bryan Cave in Santa Monica, Calif. "They're the ones that are going to suffer."

The estate's tax dilemma highlights the cost and complexity of dying wealthy in America. Ironically, had Jackson died six months later, his estate may have had to pay no estate tax at all.

Under current law, the estate tax is set to be lifted for one year starting Jan. 1, 2010. However, most experts expect Congress to overturn the one-year suspension before the end of 2009, meaning the estate tax would remain in place.

Established in the early 1900s, the so-called "death tax" assesses up to a 45 percent tax on individual estates worth more than $3.5 million.

As in a bankruptcy case, Jackson's creditors will jockey for first crack at his fortune. But the estate's initial obligation will be to pay the late star's taxes, said Beth Kaufman, a Washington-based attorney specializing in estate tax issues.

"There is no question that the U.S. government has first priority," she said.

To calculate the amount owed, subtract an estate's debts from its assets and set aside 45 percent of what's left for the IRS. The first $3.5 million is exempt. The IRS also allows unlimited, tax-free transfers of assets to a spouse and charities, as well as deductions for funeral expenses, attorneys' fees and other administrative costs.

The current value of Jackson's estate isn't known, making it impossible to know how much he'll owe in federal estate tax.

According to documents obtained by The Associated Press, he claimed $567.6 million in assets as of March 31, 2007, including Neverland and his share of the Sony/ATV Music Publishing catalog, which holds the rights to songs by the Beatles, Bob Dylan and other artists. The documents also show that Jackson had $331 million in debt.

That would leave him with a net worth about $236 million at the time. Based on that number, Jackson's federal estate tax bill could exceed $83 million after exemptions. California, where Jackson lived at the time of his death, has no estate tax, but some states do.

Representatives of Jackson's estate declined to comment.

The pop icon died June 25 of what his family said was cardiac arrest. According to his will, all of Jackson's assets will go into a trust. The twice-divorced entertainer left 20 percent of his estate to charities. That could leave 80 percent of his net estate subject to "a very sizable" death tax, said Randy Godshall, an estate attorney at Los Angeles-based Sheppard Mullin law firm.

"But there will no doubt be a lot of negotiation with the IRS on that, because his assets are hard to value," Godshall said.

The IRS is not required to accept the estate's appraisal of Jackson's assets, and very likely will conduct its own audit, he said.

"They'll often come back with their own, higher values - I've never heard of them coming back and saying, 'You overvalued this'," he said.

The IRS declined to comment, citing federal rules prohibiting it from discussing individual taxpayers.

If the two sides can't agree, the case would go into litigation. In rare cases, the IRS can seize assets to cover a tax bill, but usually settlements are reached.

Worries over estate tax were a big factor in the lengthy legal battle over the estate of singer James Brown, who died of heart failure on Christmas Day, 2006. A judge in May approved a settlement that gives nearly half of his assets to a charitable trust, about a quarter to his wife and young son, and the rest to Brown's adult children. The IRS won't say how much tax is owed on his estate.

The federal estate tax affects less than 1 percent of the U.S. population. It will generate an estimated $26 billion this year - only about 1 percent of federal tax revenue. Still, the estate tax has become the subject of political debate in recent years.

In Washington, some Republican lawmakers want to abolish it. Others have called for exempting estates up to $10 million from the tax. They also want estates larger than that to be taxed at a 35 percent rate.

As it stands now, the threshold for the estate tax is set to fall back to $1 million in 2011, but the Obama administration is expected to change that so the tax will still kick in at $3.5 million.

None of the proposed changes would impact Jackson's estate, whose tax bill is technically due March, 25, 2010. Experts say it's likely the IRS will grant a multi-year extension. But even then, the estate would still have to begin paying interest in March.

Jackson's estate may have planned for a big estate tax bill. He had an insurance trust in his name as of Aug. 26, 2003, according to a financial document addressed to the singer and obtained by the AP. Insurance trusts are often set up by estates to pay federal estate tax.

One possible wild card: Jackson's estate could claim that his debt exceeds his assets, in which case he'd owe no estate tax.

But "it would be hard to incur that kind of liability," Kozupsky said, noting that creditors would be wary of such debt-ridden borrowers. He noted we may never learn the amount of Jackson's estate tax bill since the IRS isn't required to say.

"It could remain a mystery for quite a while," Kozupsky said.

I did download it and to find it I clicked on the magnifying glass where it says "spotlight" and I copied/pasted "Name: Msg.m4a" clicked on the one that says "music" and it will lead me to "iTunes" to hear it straight away, I don't know if this helps.

Thanks sweetsunset....I'll try that. :icon_e_wink:

I thought the voice sounds like Rebbie's.  At the very beginning it sort of sounds like Michael, but feminine. Maybe it was voice altering.  Imo, the voice has Jackson speech mannerisms and mentions wishing she was there to take care of him (or something like that) which made me think of Rebbie again (older sister who cared for younger brother growing up-sort of relationship).  But who knows.  Well, Front does but he probably won't say lol.


{Slightly off topic...}

Wasn't Rebbie suppose to testify in the AEG trial?  :icon_e_confused:

or am I getting it confused?

NOT!  :icon_neutral:



I truly commend you brave hearts, but I'm too much of a tech paranoid about tracker files to do such things  :suspect:, so I'll take your word for it on the translation.  :icon_e_geek:




My thing is, if Front is MJ why would he send himself a recorded message?

If it's a girlfriend, why would she try to imitate his voice?...or switch up voice accents?


 :WTF:


I'm only going on what's translated here...can't really make a fair assessment without having heard it....but it is strange business to say the least. :ghsdf:

TMZ pulled it straight from Randy's Twitter:


Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
I dont like it  I dont like it  I dont lime it

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
I dont like that Paris is still in this facility. It's not right

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
She's been there much too long

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
She is not psychotic . There is no reason for her to be in a psychiatric hospital this long away from her family

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
I just hate the fact that you will probably still be there on my brother's birthday. This is not good

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
There's something more to this there's something going on I don't like it I'm afraid for her

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
Psychiatric hospitals oftentimes make you feel as though you're psychotic when you're not . Sometimes they make matters worse

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
I'm going to look into this . Stay tuned

Randy Jackson‏@randyjackson8
Oh by the way, sorry for the miss spelling . Anything smaller than the keys on a piano I struggle with . I have big Joe Jackson fingers

Painted Desert Ranch‏@DJRJPDR8h
@randyjackson8 as usual you are grossly misinformed

Angela Franco‏@AngelaDF7h
@DJRJPDR @randyjackson8 Don't worry about Randy, he has diarrhea of the mouth.

Painted Desert Ranch‏@DJRJPDR7h
@AngelaDF @randyjackson8 I think that's what happens when you talk out of your ass

-----
I also think it's interesting this comes on the heels of Debbie and Pearl Jr. getting into it and the mention of Paris. :computer-losy-smiley:

There are a couple of "instigators" ....for example:

DianeToucan‏@DianeToucan
@DJRJPDR @huronmimi @randyjackson8 @Pearljr  Pearl, this is Randy. Randy, meet Pearl. *cue Dating Game music*

After only a couple of minutes of reading these tweets I became disgusted.  :Crash:

AGAIN, this is why I don't follow Twitter! People seem to think it gives them license to be extraordinarily nasty and rude. :icon_rolleyes:

I don't know where this is all going...but I don't have the stomach for it.  :smiley-vault-misc-150:

(Off topic - when do US schools go back, is it next week?)

It depends curls. 

Here in Cali, most public schools start end of August, but some private schools don't start till first couples weeks of September.

I would assume the facility Paris is "suppose" to be in is a year round institution since the students are boarded.

But I'm just guessing on that one.:icon_e_confused:

Well, at least we know SOMETHING is bound to happen on October 28th.

Do we? What makes you so sure about that?

Yes....Murray is suppose to be "released" from jail.

No doubt "Justice for MJ" and the media will be all over it.

So yes, something will happen.


As far as some big BAM or something from MJ, I doubt it. 

But I'm sure people will read into it what they want to see.
