Michael Jackson headlines

(note – the normal Michael Jackson headlines are here, the sexy ones, today featuring Nell McAndrew naked in Loaded magazine, are over here)

THE MEMORIAL – will be held tomorrow at Staples Center in LA. Family, friends and VIPS will have seats on the main floor, but the public can pay $25 to sit in the stands.  T-shirts that were going to be sold on Michael’s upcoming “This Is It” tour will be sold outside.  So, cool.  I was afraid they might do something tacky.   (source = radar)

THE DRUGS – Jackson was spending around 50 grand a month on prescription drugs, including 40 vicodin a day, and used a number of aliases to score all that, including Omar Arnold and Jack London.  These are dumb, but better than his original ones, Demi Rawl and Luara Set.  (source = the sun and tmz)

THE SECRET GIRLFRIEND – a bodyguard told Sky News that Jackson had a long-time secret girlfriend, but he did not say who, instead leaving it up to her to decide if she wants to go public. When asked for a comment, Perez said, “that’s bullshit, she should be outed, everyone should be outed all the time, fuck them.” (source = fox news)

THE WILL – Jackson gave his entire estate to his family, cut out ex-wife Debbie Rowe, and named his mom as guardian for his three kids.  Diana Ross was named as a backup guardian if something were to happen to his mom.  His mom is 79, but Ross is 65, so I’m not really sure he thought this all the way through.  (source = national enquirer)

THE BROTHER – Jermaine Jackson said on NBC this morning that he wishes he had died instead, and that Michael was “a gift from Allah.”  And this isn’t really relevant but one time on a job interview I started every answer to every question with, “Well the honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us…”.  Needless to say I didn’t get that.  (source = huffington post)
