| The big, fat, unsourced Michael Jackson expose |
According to one British tabloid writer, Michael Jackson was schizophrenic, bulimic, anorexic, drug-addicted, suicidal, paranoid, lung diseased, unable to sing, unable to dance, thin-haired, enabled, broke and gay. All at once (and all according to unnamed sources.) He reports, you decide.
The London Daily Mail is just dripping with unsourced stories, including allegations from Jackson's fired nanny that his kids feared him, and lots of details about Jackson's alleged addictions, his fears that he wouldn't be able to pull off that 50 concert extravaganza, and an alleged prior overdose (plus a completely contradictory story quoting a friend of Jackson's -- on the record -- saying the singer couldn't wait to hit the stage ... hmmmm... more contradictions here...) The second Daily Mail story raises fresh questions about Jackson's "personal doctor." On a harder news front, the Jackson family has requested a second autopsy. And apparently, Jackson's will says his kids should go to his mother, and the children have requested as much, but Debbie Rowe may beg to differ...
Where will the kids live? Michael Jackson with Prince and Paris.
Also, TMZ reports the LAPD has finally interviewd Dr. Murray. The LAPD released this statement:
"Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who was with Michael Jackson at the time of his collapse, voluntarily contacted the Los Angeles Police Department. Detectives assigned to Robbery-Homicide Division met with Dr. Murray and conducted an extensive interview. Dr. Murray was cooperative and provided information which will aid the investigation." The LATimes has more on the interview. And they have an interesting piece on Michael's shifting cultural identity.Labels: celebrity deaths, entertainment, Michael Jackson, pop culture |
