Ian Halperin ?

[Grenat]

Sorry if it's in the wrong section but as he is a part of the media
I don't know if that guy is a part of the hoax , what do you think ?

He is the one wich issued the rumour that Michael would die in 6 month from Christmas
He said that he was at the funeral in an interview and that he saw Mike (have you seen it ? I've seen an article in a french tabloid)
In is books he talk about Mike's drugs problems
But he is always quoting "reliable sources"
But before Mike's death he was bashing him on his blog .
I don't know if it makes senses but do you think he is part of it ?
I don't think that he know about it tough, must be a pawn,right ?
And why would he tell that he saw him in his coffin ?

Sorry if my explanation is bad but I'm not native english speaker ^^

I doubt that Michael would have anything to do with this bullshit talker Harperin, something that might be possible is that some actual "Jackson" source did say to Harperin that Michael would die in six months (scary enough he was precise) only to spice up the hoax. But it could be as simple as a good guess from his side. Either way his book is nothing I would recommed it only contains lies and horrible stories.

I don't' know why my original post didn't post but in it I said this guy is bad news.  This is the same guy who said in his book MJ hit on him in a pizza joint...while MJ's own kids were there...GIVE ME A BREAK...He only wishes! (not to mention he is UGLY!)  He is an opportunist and tries to get us to believe him and what he says about MJ by pretending to be on MJ's side about his trial.  He points to evidence that paints MJ as a victim of extortion which two books already do that without the need to later defame MJ's character!  This guy is a snake just like all the rest trying to make a buck.  His sources are doo doo!  He thinks by giving us some true information we will believe him when he throws in some salacious doo doo!
I wanted to add... I read his book but I didn't pay a dime for it!

[Xsy]

didn´t he wrote something about MJ is wearing womens clothes? i know, the way he told it must be bu****it! but maybe he saw something and put it in the wrong context!
maybe MJ just tried it on for the memorial...

just an idea...

[GirlSaturday]

He said that he was at the funeral in an interview and that he saw Mike

Now that is an interesting statement. How did a tabloid style journalist get to see MJ when friends, family and the general public did not get the chance to see him? Ian Halperin must do a better job with his lies. He must learn to keep them in order otherwise they can come back to bite him on the butt.  :lol:

Thinking outside the box: Maybe Ian Halperin was used to get everything on track?

I assume he could have been used to serve several purposes in the hoax:

1. Right the day after MJ`s "first death hoax" in late december 2008 Halperin was fed and allowed to "tranport" the story of a sickly, frail MJ who suffered from a terminated illness (why? In order to get some more public attention and sympathy for our man - and in preparation for the upcoming concert announcement to start a MJ type of RAZZLE DAZZLE).

2. Halperin was also fed / allowed to "predict" an almost exact "time of death" (for the same reason and in order to establish his credibilty - which should be useful in the aftermath)

3. In order to catch a wider public interest (not only MJ`s fans but also the "hater`s front") he was also allowed to state that MJ was actually gay (which - as we now know - is only a rather small passage in his book, citing witnesses who might be easily disproved later by saying they were fooled by look-alikes).

4. More important: Due to his credibility ("death" exactly in time) and the expected dirty gossip Halperin`s book was the first published in early July (I confess: I read it immediately in one weekend) and went directly up the bestseller`s lists. I am sure a lot of "haters" bought it in order to prove they were always right.

5. But most important: the book was nothing people expected! It was written in favour of MJ - and it definitely cleared up all the molestation accusations in detail!

Therefore it perfectly fullfilled it`s purpose ....

Knowing MJ there is one thing for sure: he loved playing games / suprises / pranks / building up mysteries / giving razzle-dazzles ... He loved to mislead the media and play with their prejudices (like: if they want to see the freak I will show them one; remember "Ghosts") - pretending something and then - BAM! - go for the unexpected ...

Does that make sense to you? For me, it does.

I don't care for Mr. Halperin.  He revamped his site after Michael left us and pictures of him being all buddy-buddy with people.  I never went back.  Don't know what it looks like now.  He might have said he saw him, but not after Michael was gone.  I do recall him saying that he met Michael.  Maybe that's what you're referring too?

[Grenat]

Well of course I knew that idiot was a bad-mouth even before I bought his book.
But even idiots can be feeded crucial news that's why I had bought it...
But oh well that book was as good as trash ! I knew it by the reviews and this man's reputation but I wanted to check it out anyway...
I think that he doesn't know about it but he was used by MJ someway...

He told in an interview(from a stupid french tabloid) that he saw the body of Michael at the funeral ! Either he saw an wax body or either he is in it(the hoax) right ?
If you want I still have the tabloid that said it !
I think that he lie of course (it has to be a lie !)

[darkchild]

Did Mister Halperin really claim that MJ hit on him?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Yeah.. Halperin DID claim that MJ hit on him.  I remember reading that and thinking "catch yerself on!"

Have you seen what Halperin looks like?  He had a small speaking part in a documentary that was on TV last night.. he is a strange looking dude!  Even if MJ was gay, i dont think he would stand a chance!   :lol:

I think Halperin was just having wishful thoughts.

[Grenat]

That's right   He is just showing-off
But what he said was intriguing sometimes (even if the most of what he said was rubbish)

He said that Michael would dress up as a women and meet a construction worker at a hotel.  And if that's so, Michael could have been meeting him for any reason - not necessarily for you know what.  So why write it.  Leaves so much open to interpretation.

He really said he was at the funeral?  Wow, I can't picture the family inviting  him to the funeral.

Ian Halpering says so a lot ...... he is simply awful

@DancingTheDream, Hee hee, I have seen Ian Halperin on the telly.  He is not my type at all .  I am sure that I am not his type at all either.  I thank God for that.  MJ, you are definitely my type! Sexy man, that you are, MJ!  You are all the any woman could ever need!
