Rose Speaks happy 2 years and still growing

Rose Speaks.com is two years old today, thank you! Wow so many to thank.

My hubby, Ken, who kicked in to help in May when I became ill and made sure the numbers continued to grow and he actually has grown fond of blogging, must be all of the nice people who stop by and share a tad each day with Rose Speaks.com.

To Beth for the legal papers she explains so well. Heath who does so much behind the scenes that Rose Speaks.com would not be seen as running as smoothly as it does without her special “observer”, [as I have nicknamed her], touch but who does so much and never expects anything back. Roxanne our blunt, and yet kind and problem solving moderator who makes us laugh, shoots from the hip and is always there to help each member with her open email door policy and caring and keeping the problem solving running so smoothly. Diamond Girl who is taking a chance and learning the public forums and building them literally from the ground up for all of you to enjoy, be a part of it, we encourage each of you to be and she now has her own Rose Speaks.com email addy check for it in the forums. Then there are Fifi, Lian and Sammy all of whom are trying to keep the chat going, I promise ladies it will get better over the summer with more scheduled chats both just getting to know you chats and chats on the cases we are covering.

To moderators and admins who have come and gone, each leaving a permanent imprint of their presence and the many hours they gave.

To sources for articles and cases to follow, who wished to remain just that, nameless sources, thanks for your confidence in Rose Speaks.com.

Way too many to thank individually if I missed you I am sorry, post and we shall add you to the list as today goes on.

To our guest writers:

John J. Nazarian and Charlee

John J. Nazarian, Private Investigator Extraordinaire who brought us in the courtroom coverage of Anthony Pellicano, and crew and then covered the trial of Terry Christensen. He then shared his humor and his thoughts with us, made us laugh, made us think and we are the better for both. He took a risk with us before we were one year old and has brought in a lot of readers with his unique approach to all he writes about. Not to mention the added class of Charlee. Mr. Nazarian had one stead fast rule from day one, “Rose make sure you spell my name right”. We have tried and thanks for your insight and sharing with us here. Be sure you visit Mr. Nazarian’s site for your daily take on how Mr. Nazarian sees the world and blogs about DesperateExes.com.

The video person who is great at what they do and follows the best story leads for us. Staying on top of the latest news as it breaks via video from Casey Anthony in Florida, to Roland Carnaby in Houston and maintains the Rose Speaks.com You Tube channel, and do we want to cover Drew Peterson? If there is a case out there you want us to cover, and video exists let us know, we will get it up for all of you.

Lana Clarkson and Sprocket who stayed the course of the coverage on good days and those bad ones

Sprocket, who covered Phil Spector, and stayed the course, including every day for two different jury watches, and was there to see justice done for Lana Clarkson and her family and kept the only diary of the daily proceedings that can be found anywhere. We hope Sprocket will give us her insight as well on the upcoming criminal proceedings in California including Stern, Kapoor and Dr. Khris, as Sprocket said she will try to cover as much as she can with no holds barred and calling and writing as she sees it. We also look forward to Sprocket’s take on other cases.

Our Hollywood Madam sources, thanks for the head’s up and some of the documents and pictures we will be putting up as we cover this story, of Michelle Braun, as it perhaps unravels some of the rich and powerful from coast to coast here in the U. S. and if it stretches to other countries. .

Art Harris, owner of The Bald Truth who trusted me as a confidant and took me under his journalistic “wings” and taught me so much as a teacher, mentor, and friend.

Daniel DiCriscio, the Messiah of Makeovers

Daniel DiCriscio, the Messiah of Makeovers, who is witty, but also writes some gut wrenching and the kind that makes you cry as he brings us into the world we call Hollyweird. Daniel DiCriscio covers the L. A. Scene for us, and will be covering Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, will be there for the preliminary hearings. Wow two weeks of evidence we have all held our breaths until we see who are the witnesses.

All things Anna Nicole Smith, those intertwining at every corner that put Rose Speaks.com on the map so we could attract writers like John J. Nazarian, Sprocket and Daniel DiCriscio.

Those who have given us Exclusive interviews including:

Pol Atteu’ and Patrik Simpson, who gave us exclusive interviews and insights to their lawsuit they recently won their daughter’s graduation from high school and new things on the horizons for them.

Nathan Collins, who told us the truth about his relationship with Daniel Smith (and no we did not publish it) his frank honesty is something we will go back to as all of the trials continue forward.

But most of all to you the readers, who keep coming back with new ones added weekly. Our thanks whether you post or lurk, you make us all want to just do better, making Rose Speaks.com we hope informative, sharing of intelligent thoughts and ideas on the cases we pick to cover, the cases each of you help us pick with suggestions.

As always, thank you for flying Rose Speaks.com, each of you keep the energy flowing; the enjoyment of legal papers; learning from each other; intelligent thoughts shared with one and all and giving lessons to each new person with one of our mottos, “let google be your friend.”.

My deepest and heartfelt thanks to each of you for just hanging with us through those rough times and coming through them with us making sure we grow in readership and we hope get better because of you, the readers.

    Happy Birthday to US!!!!!!!!! We Made It………

    Love to everyone :)

  3. BEVERLY says:

    Rose and Ken—-The best is yet to come,HAPPY ANNIVERSARY,you have made a site you can be very proud of,To all mods and everyone,who everyday,makes it a pleasure to give and take opinions ,and exchange thoughts,God Bless you for the comming years.

  4. JMA says:

    Happy Two Year Anniversary to Rose Speaks and each and every person who made this site the success it is today.

    Rose Speaks gets my #1 vote for…The Best Site On the Net.

  5. JMA says:

    I dedicate this to everyone at Rose Speaks it seems so appropriate because this place is Simply The Best ;-)

  6. DiamondGirl says:

    Congrats !

    I like to read opposing viewpoints. I have to admit that while I read here, I was a little skeptical about joining a “Pro Stern” site. I didn’t want to join a site that “rah, rah’s” over any one person. I admitted that while I backed Birkhead up, he did make mistakes. I did admit that I thought that at the beginning, virgie had a right to be involved in her grandchild’s life. I also admitted that, in my opinion, Stern did not murder anyone. He did not deserve to be called a murderer. I do not close my eyes to anyone of these people’s faults.

    Except for the bloggers that have been dragged or joined this farce willingly, not one of us has a stake in the outcome of the events. Yet, I have read where posters wished that some other poster miscarries her baby all because she argued her point of view. Let’s face it, this saga has drawn a line in the sand. If one dares to cross that line, you might be harrassed, stalked, called names, ridiculed all because you have a different viewpoint of the facts. It really does amaze me at times what has come to pass since Daniel’s death.

    Again, congrats on the 2nd year anniversary!

  7. Beth says:

    *** HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! ***

    Well stated DiamondGirl! I honestly think this is a site that just thinks there should NOT be INJUSTCE with the ‘system’. To me anyway, that is the most important factor. The media was unjust by allowing people to go on air and slander many people like LB & Howard, even ‘trashing’ Anna’s name after death. (The book of lies)
    With O’Q, DC, & McC putting down HKS on air and in interviews, then VA stating to Greta (I believe it was in that interview) that she said she asked LB; ‘What do they have on you son? A tape?…’ I assume that was to keep that NON-EXISTING sex tape story alive. Who knows. There has been mistakes by all, yet it was the people with the agenda that FIRST CROSED THAT ‘peripheral’ LINE in my eyes anyway.

    Thank you Rose and Ken.

  8. DiamondGirl says:

    7. That was right before there was to be a custody hearing in the Bahamas and it co-incided with the release of RC’s trash book. Birkhead supposely said “I am a queer” to virgie. And he supposely said that they have a tape. It has never been seen, never testified to by the “nannies” and RC even tried to BRIBE witnesses. Of course Jackie Hatten is no where to be founf now either because she got caught in her lies.

  9. JMA says:

    Beth & DG isn’t it funny how things played out after DNA results were heard. I mean VA & Team Texas were full of praises when it came to Larry but as soon as he announced he was NOT going to share custody of his child with anyone. Virgie asks about a tape and viola there is a supposed tape, which to this day has never been found.

    IMO, Team Texas and VA started slinging mud in order to discredit Larry’s character all because he refused to be bought off by them.

  10. BEVERLY says:

    You know.I hope what I just read on the other site is true,it would make my day,Virgie and Don Clark got thrown out of the cemetery,in the bahamas,Boy I would love to have seen that,that is the best picture yet.It is funny how all the love is ozzing from Virgie,now her daughter is dead,You know,if Verige was so worried about Anna,and drugs she had how nany years to do something? At any time Vergie could have sent a PI or her sugar daddy lawyers to check what was going on with her daughter,ANY TIME,why wait until Anna died.Anna was building up money,Vergie was counting on.I also wish Howard would hire Dr Ablow,to explain in the CAL court,what Virgie did to Anna.

  11. DiamondGirl says:

    10. Did that happen recently? Or was that something that they are saying happened a year ago? Remember when they tried to claim that Stern controls who visited Anna and Daniel’s grave?

  12. JMA says:

    Beverly [10] I read that too but we need to consider the source, which by the way is claiming McCabe has the supposed answering machine message that VA says Anna left after Daniel died. Excuse me but if she is not a paid employee of the O’Quinn firm she should not be privy to any so called evidence she claims the firm may have.

  13. JMA says:

    DG [11] now they are claiming to have Virgie on a video via cell phone being denied access to the cemetery. Then they go on to claim VA got in due to a feisty female cab driver. Ha-Ha, their bullshit is never ending.

  14. DiamondGirl says:

    It is never ending. Again was this recently or in the past?

  15. DiamondGirl says:

    12. So even if they have that, it doesn’t show who hung up the phone (if someone did)? Could be Anna huung it up after her mother didn’t answer it. why not try for the record on how that phone number got changed so fast as was claimed?

  16. DiamondGirl says:

    9. I certainly do not blame Larry one bit for holding Dannileynn back from virgie after she called him a sperm donor, a queer and fought him for custody in the Bahamas after the DNA was announced.

  17. Ken says:

    JMA [12] It’s quite possible they do have that recording, as I believe that’s the one VA sold and played while doing her interviews. So it would be reasonable to believe that she would’ve turned it over to McC.

  18. BEVERLY says:

    JMA—–You do not know how much I wanted it to be true,but to tell you the truth,this is the first time I heard of Clark going to the cemeteryI would assume that happened when the Inquest was being held.Virgie and friends and family always caused a problem when they went.IF theere was a time when they were not starting trouble I would be surprised.Virgie gave no money towards Anna funeral or gravesite,so who the hell cares what McCabe got,he can put it where the sun don’t shine.All this boo hoo since Anna died,all the 10 or more years where was all the phony love,

  19. Roxanne says:

    15
    Diamondgirl
    Virgie herself said that the message ran out and the phone hung up BEFORE she could get to it to answer it. It was AFTER VA lost in Florida and all other avenues she tried that she changed her story but I remember her telling the original story very clearly. I don’t remember if it was on Greta or what but I remember it.

  20. DiamondGirl says:

    I had never heard that DC was with virgie when she went to the cementary. The funeral rights were sold to the various medias to pay for the funeral. What was left was to go into a trust fund for Dannielynn. I have never seen a breakdown of what each and eveything cost or exactly what money was actually received from the media sources. As far as I know, none of the parties meaning Stern, Birkhead or Arthur had to pay anything. If I am wrong, someone please let me know.

    Now to address an issue that some refuse to understand over at the other site. Birkheads lawyer decided that when Anna died that the best thing to do would be to save a DNA sample from Anna. THE KNOWN MOTHER Of DANNIELYNN. Apparently someone close to the Stern family had just recently had a child, give or take a few months, about the same time as Dannielynn was born Seeing that they still were in a battle for DNA testing, it was rather a good move on DO’s part. Larry was an interested party IF he was in fact Dannielynn’s father. DO was afraid that once DNA testing was ordered, someone would switch babies and use another child and not Dannielynn. The final thing is that no matter if Birkhead was there or not, Anna would have wanted to be buried with her son. Anna buried Daniel in the Bahamas.

  21. Rose says:

    VA said on shows that she heard someone in the background her assumption it was HKS and then the phone went dead
    On the stand in Florida in Feb. 2007 VA changed that to she picked up the phone in one room the answering machine was in another room, she heard the msg as Anna was leaving it but did not know how to get to the other room to turn off the answering machine to talk to Anna…

    Either way VA does have the recording

  22. JMA says:

    DiamondGirl [15] exactly it does not prove who hung the phone up.

    In reference to #16, I don’t either.

    Ken [17] maybe so but really the point I was trying to get across is, unless the person over at the cesspool revealing what McCabe may or may not have is a paid employee, they should not be privy to any evidence and if they are paid, they should not be talking about it on a public forum.

    DG [20] in reference to “DC was with virgie when she went to the cementary” that is the newest line of bullshit they are feeding VA’s supporters.

  23. DiamondGirl says:

    I don’t know if it is bullshit. DC was at Anna’s funeral. I tried finding the picture which showed him sitting a row or two behind virgie. So if he was at the funeral, I very well could see him being there. BUT maybe he wasn’t and now they are trying to make him a witness to it after the fact? Hell, I wouldn’t believe me if he told me his name was Don. He lied on TV with he wasn’t RC’s source.

  24. BEVERLY says:

    POOR SIZZLES,She so upset with what I say about Vergie she cannot give me a answer to what constructive action Vergie took to help her daughter,Sizzles proceeds to call me a whole lot of names to cover she cannot tell me what agency Vergie called ,if a member of AA SOMEONE TO HELP HER DAUGHTER.I do not believe Anna was that drunk,Vergie used the cuffs on her own daughter,Vergie did not want the people in town to know what kind of mother she was,well they all know now,and they will find out more about MOMMIE,.

  25. JMA says:

    Rose [21] yes VA tells different accounts concerning the phone message from Anna. One was to the Florida court and the others depended on which media outlet that interviewed her. I think that was/is pretty much VA’s routine when telling anything pertaining to Anna, depending whom she told/tells it to the more dramatic it becomes.

    Ps,

    Hope you are feeling OK today… Just a little tidbit for if you should start feeling nauseated, my Dad always says the best remedy for nausea is Ginger Root.

  26. JMA says:

    DiamondGirl [23] I think the time they are talking about was during the premier of Anna’s movie. Remember the VA stalkers E & K supposedly dragging VA to the premier and then they headed to the cemetery where “K” is setting her fat ass on top of Anna and Daniels gravesites. They plastered the pictures of the events that took place but not a one of them had DC or even WV in it. So now to back up their bullshit there is either WV word or a video via cell phone.

  27. Roxanne says:

    Rose
    That is what I was talking about. Thanks for the more detailed account. Here’s the kicker…. why didn’t VA just start talking? You don’t need to turn off the answer machine to be able to talk. The other person can hear you just fine and it just records the first little bit of conversation and then the answering machine cuts off by itself leaving the 2 people still intact on the phone with each other. It’s all bull if you ask me. I don’t think VA picked up the phone at all. If she did then the recording should show where she picked up because no matter how you try to spin it… you will hear the other phone being picked up on the machine and then of course there’s the whole why not just start talking thing to deal with.

  28. JMA says:

    Roxanne [27] exactly, hell I have done that a time or two and yes, it records the beginning of the conversation and then cuts off. I agree with you VA did not pick up.

  29. DiamondGirl says:

    oh but remember, she tried to call RIGHT back and the phone number was already changed ! Yeah ok!

    Bridge for sale !
    I have a bridge for sale !

  30. BEVERLY says:

    TO THE FOOL ON THE OTHER SITE I have never been jealous of anyone in my life,I have been given the best place on earth to live,there is nothing I want for myself I don’t have. and I will tell you,I will go to my grave knowing members of my family love each other.Again you think money makes people jealous,you are a VIRGIE LOVER,i would not expect any thing different.I will not have to go to my grave knowing,like Virgie, a member of my family hated my guts.So no matter what YOU or YOUR friends say,VERGIE,S DAUGHTER HATED HER,and that cannot change,

  31. BEVERLY says:

    Well ,again I hate to tell the other site MY OPINION,Virgie had a hand Anna,s death,the reason Anna find the need and excuse for meds,and drinking Virgie drove her daughter to drink and take meds,I had asked before,and got no answer because there is none,WHY was there not a physiologist,for Anna to help her cope with what Anna said was rape,strapping,and handcuffs.wHY could not a cop of 28 years,and mother find the the help her daughter needed so bad,WHY because she did not give a damm,remember Anna got put out and sent to auntie,while smart ass Vergie kept a man,I HEARD OF DESPERATE BUT,GET RID OF YOUR CHILD A KEEP A MAN,Anna must have felt so loved.There were so many thing Vergie could have done,SHE DID NONE OF THEM. GREAT MA.

  32. Sammy1 says:

    Happy Birthday Rosespeaks and many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congratulations on running a good site that we can call home.

  33. BEVERLY says:

    I have heard of dumm,but you spell it out anf still they do not get it,Instead of calling me names answer my question,Virgie 28 years a cop, did not know how to get in touch with a physiologist,Could not get in touch witha AA member,How many years did ANN drink,and Vergie could not find a way to help her daughter,and most of all,could not find it in her heart to be compassionate and understanding and loving mom,SHE had to show off her badge and pull Anna out by her hair,PRAY TELL,what good did that do.Virgie,s idea of helping her child STINKS.This whole problem will come out in Cal,YOU PEOPLE HAVE BRAINS LIKE A PEA BRAIN.anyone who thinks Virige doing what she did to Anna is fine,it is a waste of time to comment to.ITS ALL GOING TO COME OUT SOON

  34. raven says:

    Happy Anniversary to Rosespeaks. Rose and Ken, and all who have contrbuted to the success of this site in making it an interesting place to visit.

    One thing for sure…the ANS saga will probably be a “special” course in lots of law schools everywhere, with special emphasis on “What not to do when you are advocating for a client in the electronic world”.

    I enjoy reading all the comments. Rose, hope you are feeing better. )

  35. BEVERLY says:

    I read my self called every name in the book.,BY THE EXPERTS on the other site,who will never answer,why was Anna was drinking and doing drugs long before Howard, you are using insults to mask your stupidity.I would not expect you to understand my point of view,your heads are up Vrgie butt,please come up for air,Virgie was a POOR MOTHER,POOR COP,AND A WASTE AS A HUMAN BEING.and by the way,it is not my name all over the press as a greedy Grandma.what did the NEW YORK post say of Vergie when she tried to sell Daniel memorial service,I have been waiting for Rita,s book to hit the dollar store.or the christmas tree shops for 49 cents

  36. Oldlady says:

    Happy Anniversary Rosespeaks. Have enjoyed reading here for almost all of those two years.

  37. JMA says:

    raven [34] in reference to your “special” course comment, I love it ;-) sending a high five your way.

    Bev [35] they are not going to give you a civil or even intelligent answer to your question due to their own denial that Virgie did anything wrong as a parent. Oh well at least we have Anna’s own words confirming what a horrible and abusive mother Virgie was. It is easy to figure out why Anna turned to drugs and alcohol after she revealed exactly what it was like growing up under Virgie’s roof.

  38. BEVERLY says:

    JMA—–There other complaint about me,I have excessive hate for Vergie,Well,How many lifes does Virgie have to destroy in her quest for money.MY thought are with the people Vergie likes to step on,like she did her own daughter,’GET OUT OF MY WAY EVERYBODY,I WANT MONEY.JMA you are right,in order to answer my question,they would have to admit Vergie did nothing to help her daughter.or admit she was not able to do anything because Anna was a strong will person.but by admiting that,how can she blame Howard,when she could not control her daughter all those years.You know they are all so smart over there,one said she was sick of hearing what happened 25 years ago,with Vergie,and I am tired of trying to get through to empty heads what happened 25 years ago is the reason Anna was drinking and drug using ,she was trying to forget,and when Vergie could have helped,she slapped Anna in the facelike she did when Anna was youngVERGIE WAS A BULLY WITH A BADGE.and very little common sense.

  39. Beth says:

    * I am heading on over guys…

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wow, just wow… I had forgotten the part of WV contacting LB!
    LOL Someone should copy (36.) on the #1130 post on pg 76 tmz to ‘T’ and ask WV why the hell she did that! Since the last time I looked over there a few days ago she seems intent on talking and answering questions about this State litigation… ;) What a piece of work! NOT!

  40. Liann says:

    Happy Anniversary Rosespeaks! Thank You Ken, Rose, writers and all mods past and present.

  41. AJM says:

    HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY Rose, Ken and everyone else that made this the best site.

    I hope you have many more to come.

  42. Bewildered says:

    A very Happy Anniversary to all!

    Hard to think it’s been 2 years. In some ways, seems less and then again, like an eternity. Wishing you and yours all the best!

  43. raven says:

    jma 37 High Five back at you. :)

  44. JMA says:

    Beverley [38] you have a right to express your opinion of Virgie Arthur however you choose to express it. We all dislike this woman due to her actions. Furthermore, what happens to a person during their childhood has a very big impact on them as an adult so yes Anna’s troubled childhood affected her in the worse way which ultimately lead to drug and alcohol abuse.

    Beth [39] when I read how Larry said WV contacted him I was sort of in disbelief but then when I thought about all the dirty deeds she has done trying to be part of Team Texas it did not surprise me that she thought she could intimidate Larry. I would hope he told her to kiss his ass and hung up on her.

    Perfect motto for Team Texas and their groupies “How low will you go in order to be part of the team” by the looks of things done to date by Team Texas & their groupies, it is pretty damn low.

  45. Kate says:

    HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY! While I don’t post much(hectic times) I try and keep up, by reading. Is there a new chat or is the old still good?

  46. Kate says:

    How do I get to the forum? Thanks in advance

  47. Beth says:

    Hello Kate!
    The chat is linked on the main site still.
    We had a great few hours in there tonight!
    You and anyone else are always welcome to join in…

    We try to make it in there around 8 blog time, I hope we can do that again > maybe we can try to get in there at least once a week or so.
    Yes, times are sure hectic everywhere. Take care of yourself, great to see you pop in here as it has been awhile.

    Good night everyone.

    JMA LOL on your comment back to me on #44! :)

    Well this was a no brainer ;-) One thing stuck out while reading the article “The suit states Hilton is seeking to protect his rights to free speech” hmm sounds a little familiar, the “Free Speech” part anyway.

  55. Roxanne says:

    The problem with Perez and his suit is that he instigated things. He said that calling dude a faggot was the worst possible thing he could do. He intentionally provoked the people and he got his punk ass clocked for doing so. Personally, I think he deserved it.

  63. DiamondGirl says:

    As per CNN, he is at the hospital, nothing about a death yet on Michael Jackson. Major heart attack is what is being said.

  64. Liann says:

    Sorry #63, s/b dying, not dieing, I am kinda in shock, This is so sad, and yes I have not heard on any of the major news stations that he has died.

  65. Ken says:

    LATimes.com is saying he is dead, as of 5 minutes ago

  66. BEVERLY says:

    MY heart is so so hurt,I loved Michael Jackson.He is now in God’s hands,the best showman ever,

  68. Beth says:

    Man, I feel bad for Farrah also. I have been gone most of today… I am trying to catch up by reading upwards.
    I hope that Redmond and Ryan can make it through this. :(

  69. heath says:

    I am so sorry to read about Michael Jackson.

    A cardiac Arrest, so sad.

    But on a cynical note, wonder if someone somewhere will take him to court for it!!

    I love his music and was looking forward to him being on stage again..

  70. Beth says:

    Yes heath, very sad… They said him and his brothers were going on tour in about two weeks, the middle of July.
    750 thousand tickets sold immediately HLN stated.

    “Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Los Angeles Times. The entertainment Web site TMZ.com is also reporting his death.” “…”

    “With his unforgettable catchy Jackson Five tunes and incredible stage presence, the public has been infatuated with the shining child star turned awkward adult, who reached international superstardom. As soon as Jackson glided across the stage with his signature moonwalk dance, it was all over from there – fans were immediately hooked.”
    “His album “Thriller,” released in 1982, was a chart-topper that set the bar for pop music.’

    *BBL everyone.

    You know, strange or not as many state he was later in life… > that man had remarkable talent starting from a small child.
    A sad day for Farrah and Michael’s family and their loved ones.

  72. JMA says:

    Wow what a very sad day :-( first Farrah’s passing and now Michael Jackson.

    May they both rest in peace.

  73. BEVERLY says:

    YOU know,I thank God I am glad I am hear right now,I cannot begin to tell you what a DISCUSTING (SOB) McCabe Sizzles is,I HOPE SHE ROTS IN HELL,If SHE THOUGHT HER COMMENT WAS FUNNY,I would love to vomit in her face,COCKROACH.what LOW CLASS PIECE OF NOTHING.in case no one read the other site,she wanted to know if Howard was near Michael Jackson,

  74. JMA says:

    Beverly [74] she proves every day what a low class piece of shit she really is huh.

  75. BEVERLY says:

    JMA- I cannot understand, people at the time of a death,making sick jokes,She thinks she is being cleaver.Michael Jackson record of “you are not alone”is the most beautiful record I have heard,I always wished Howard had got that record ,it would have helped him cope with Ann’s death.I feel like I did when John Kennedy died One of Michael best friends Elizabeth Taylor,I had a change to talk to over the phone when David Kennedy was in the hospital,she is devastated. THIS DEATH HURTS/

  76. John J. Nazarian P.I. says:

    It is sad when anyone his age dies of ‘unknown’ causes, my prediction of Michael’s death will be something similar in nature of when Elvis died. There will be a ‘yip in the gitty yup’. He had an impact in the music world for sure and his strange behavior will almost for sure be forgotten as it is the American way. History will be reinvented to make him a musical prince. Well RHD of the Los Angeles Police Department will be investigating this case and they are in the house as I type. Lets see if I am right, you all know that I have been wrong in the past, lets see how close I am this time.

    What is even more painful for me is the loss of even one of young military personnel who will give his or her life while defending this great nation in the land of sand and camel shit, that is the real story. Were they came from, why they enlisted and what they did in their final hours, now that would be interesting. Not filthy rich icons of the entertainment industry. Well with the exception of ” Here’s Johnny “, aka were did I put all that money. These people lived lives of excess and wealth and they are now dead, how about the war dead, how about a young person who never financed a new car, or got to experience a whole lot of living. These are the men and women we should feel sorry for. These famous dead people, will continue to be famous and even make money while they rot, but who will remember the young people who have given their all. I will, I promise!

    Just my thoughts,

    John J. Nazarian, P.I.

  77. Sammy1 says:

    OMG newscasters are beginning to compare Michael Jackson prescribed drug use to Anna’. Tony Potts stated he has seen the entire clown video in the Bahamas. Mentioned HKS and dr’s names on trial for dispensing. Now it starts!!!

  78. Liann says:

    John, I agree with you completely about our brave service men and women, My heart just breaks for them, so young and not even getting a chance to live and the ones that are not killed I am sure War will take its toll on their lives probably for the rest of their lives.

  79. Liann says:

    I will remember them too, I promise that also!

  80. Beth says:

    Great post John!

    Oh, Sammy I see exactly what you are saying… I hope the autopsy is done quickly before all of the ‘crap’ of speculation gets out of control!

  81. Beth says:

    Liann, I promise too.

    I wish we would have never got in these damn wars!

    Well, I have just about got all important stuff off this computer, and am ready to completely restore this sucker!
    Then half the night will be spent putting all the service pack back on… There is something really wrong with this thing and I hope this will do the trick!
    If you do not see me, it didn’t work!

  82. Liann says:

    See, I think that in our culture with icons or who we make icons, to so many it is like losing a loved one, especially when to so many that their music has been the soundtrack their lives and or actor/actresses that have been in all our homes for decades it is that so many feel they know them or maybe it is the familiarity of seeing them for years, I don’t know.

    I know that so many people all over the world love MJ, I respect that. I was never a fan but that does not mean I don’t feel for his family or the fans that really loved him, I do with all my heart, I know people die everyday, a couple of months ago a father who’s son is very close to the family died of a massive heart attack at 47, he was in great shape and even played Hockey that day and most of the time the first symptom of a heart attack is death, It is very tragic.
    Life is so unpredictable so I say live everyday the best you can.

  83. Liann says:

    I remember what and where I was at when I heard that John Lennon was shot and also where and when I heard the news that John Bonham died, I was not even a glimmer in my daddy’s eye when JFK was shot and the whole world stood still, I don’t even think I remember Elvis passing except what I have seen through the years in videos, But this is life and the older we get I honestly think we will never have Icons in that caliber as John Lennon or Michael Jackson.

  84. Ken says:

    We got a couple of google alerts that LB was up in Seattle and got his picture taken coming and going out of the 9th Circuit Court….like Anna did going into the US Supreme Court. Did anyone see a picture of him?

  85. John J. Nazarian P.I. says:

    Icons? Hmmm, I can see Lennon, SInatra, Ella, Miss Lee, Martin, Sills, and many others, Michael Jackson would be in a special category. A biggie for sure, but I am not sure some true icons would want there name on the same shingle.
    I still remember were I was the day JFK was murdered, 5th grade, Medford, Mass……everything else, a blur. 9th Circuit, wow, and pictures too…..LOL That might not be the ‘moment’ that one might want to remember….LMAO , However, the Titanic looked nice sailing out on her maiden voyage……and then that dam ice!

    John J. Nazarian, P.I.

  86. BEVERLY says:

    WELL,because I cannot sleep,I will venture a quess ,as to cause of death,first Michael had all sort of surgical procedures,second,STRESS,and not eating,they said he was 100lbs,he was pushing himself to hard and he was 50 years old,I have always thought Michael was ,a child in a mans body,again .what happen in his early years,did affect him,he had no childhood,I never believed he would touch or harm a child, thats me,BUT like Anna,WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN PEOPLE TURNED AGAINST HIM.As far as our service men,I HAVE BEEN ANGRY, there are homeless vets,there should not be one homeless vet,and angry,vets are not given more physiotherapy when discharged from the service,I have a hard time thinking what it is like to kill someone and not have it affect you.

  87. Bewildered says:

    I was/am a fan of Micheal. I watched him grow up. I watched my kid try to dance to Thriller. I sat glued to Ed Sullivan’s show when the Jackson Five performed and marveled at the little boy with the big voice.

    Did his parent’s push those boys into show biz? Probably. Did he lose any semblence of a childhood? Probably. Did his fame in later years make him a target for those who would use the system to get what they wanted? The BIG FAT SETTLEMENT. How many people can stand the scrutiny of the media now? Instant news and video footage capturing the moment and waiting with hand out to cash in on someone elses misfortune. How many will hit the airwaves and tell their stories of their association with him? Who will anty up to buy those non-disclosed photos?

    Before the media remembers the talent he brought to a stage, let’s make sure it’s as scandleous as possible and drag him thru the dirt. This is the only parallel I see to Anna. Kick them when their down. But don’t stop until their bruised and bloody. Makes for higher ratings.

  88. Bewildered says:

    RIP Micheal

  89. Liann says:

    OMG, I am flipping on the remote and I just saw NG, and that Brian Oxman, remember him? he was the wanna be mouthpiece for the Jackson parents in Michael’s last trial, He is saying that this is the next Anna Nicole and if he is right he will let the truth be known about enablers, WTF, I am just waiting for Opri to come out.

  90. Liann says:

    There is No comparison at all from Michael Jackson and his morphing looks and many surgeries to Anna Nicole and a couple of boob jobs, None, imo.

  91. DiamondGirl says:

    It took me all night to accept that Jackson did indeed die. Such a loss of talent in this world that happened yesterday. There is a big difference between an icon and a hero. Please do not confuse the two. Our military people are our everyday heros. So are many in the police force and the firemen who rush into a fire to save lives. Michael Jackson will forever be an icon. There is no one on this earth that can take that away from him. There are many many stars that are coming out to make a statement. May he rest in peace but I doubt that he will. I foresee that some low life will use his name to write a “tell all book” which cannot be denied by Jackson. I foresee that at least one person will come out of the woodwork and claim that he also was molested by Jackson.

    As for the comparision to Anna Nicole Smith. One rumor circulating was that he had taken two dozen sleeping pills, another was a mixture of 7 presciption medicines. All of this might have happened on JB’s watch. Now let’s see what the results of the autopsy will be and what reactions will happen. IF there is prescription meds involved, what will JB do?

    I did catch LKL (ok wasn’t live the second time around) and the police were at the house with tow trucks in place. For whatever reason.

    I hope his family can find some peace in the coming days.

  92. BEVERLY says:

    GOOD MORNING ALL,Myself I am surprised Michael lasted as long as he did,His body took a terrible punishment,and even though his family kept putting out,he was well and ready for 50 concerts,he was not.To me,just as when he was a child,he was there for making the family money,NO man who is 50 years old and weighted 100 lbs is not well.To the person who thought what happened to a person when they were a child does not matter,THINK AGAIN,To me,he was a showman and a great one.

  93. JMA says:

    Morning All…

    John [77] I agree the famous will continue to be famous even after death, while our young men and women fighting this damn war seem to be forgotten. Some of the famous are worth more $$$ after death then they were in life. Well at least the famous that had money issue while alive. Just this morning while watching Fox news the reported said if Michael was working on a new album [there was talk that he was] it worth more now than it was a few days ago. Each year the date of their deaths will be celebrated as though it is their new birthday.

    Liann [79] it is unimaginable what those who survived this war face down the road. You know studies say 1 in 8 will suffer from PTSD and many times systems do not start until many years down the road.

    By the way my Nephew who was shot last October in Iran still has not went back to his duties and possibly never will. It has been surgery after surgery, physical therapy followed by more surgery. We worry about what type of career he will be able to have when he leaves the Military due to now at the age of 22 he has a bum leg and will be limited to how much standing and walking is required.

    To the men and women who are fighting endlessly to keep our country safe, to those who have not come back and to those who have come back broken, I promise to never forget.

  94. JMA says:

    Ken [85] anything about Howard, I mean he is Executor of Anna’s Estate and IMO he would understand the proceedings better then blonde boy.

    John [86] yes the icons and where we were the day, they passed. Well I can tell you where I was when John Lennon died and always remember because it was on my little brothers birthday but as for JFK I was like a 1 ½ so I would have no clue other then saying possible napping.

  95. JMA says:

    Bewildered [88] I was with his earlier work like Thriller but as time went on and I got older, I went pure country. I have a picture of my oldest daughter and I think she is about six or seven and she is wearing a Michael Jackson Thriller tee shirt.

  96. JMA says:

    Liann [90] in reference to Brian Oxman’s comment, yeah the Biddies over in the cesspool are having a field day with that one spewing their same old stupid bull shit.

    I agree in your post #91 what Michael did to his face is nowhere near Anna having boob jobs.

    DG [92] in reference to… they are saying it is standard procedure to have a bunch of police officers/cars, fire trucks and ambulances there and there was probably even more due to he was a celebrity, but have no idea why there would be a tow truck.

  97. BEVERLY says:

    Well Sizzles was right about one thing,She will not admit it,the alike part to Anna was CHILD ABUSE,Michael was abused,never had a childhood,made to sing,not act like his age,it is sad to hear him talk about his childhood,and Virgie was NOT living in the stone age,You do not handle a problem,by dragging someone by there hair out,of a strip joint,that is not a way a mother should react,that breeds HATE,not love and Vergie,had 10 or more years,she could have done something if she thought Anna was in harms way from Howard,before howard,WHO WAS THE ENABLER,(VIRGIE ) If she was so upset about her daughter,why did she wait until she died?

  98. JMA says:

    Beverly [98] yes while both Anna and Michael were abused as children they expressed it differently in the public eye other than their child like ways. Michael chose to seclude himself and his life where as Anna could have cared less what was known.

    PS,

    Just looked at the pictures of my daughter sporting her MJ Thriller tee shirt and by the date on the back she was only five.

  99. DiamondGirl says:

    What each individual experiences as a child sets the foundation of our adult life. Some people who have been abused have a determination to better their lives while others only exist from day to day.

    I am sorry, there is a comparison to Anna Nicole Smith IF the rumors are true about his prescription habits. One report had it where he got a shot of Demerol right before he collapsed. A lot of rumors and right now we do not know what is the truth or not.

    JMA- I don’t buy the story that he was famous therefore we need tow trucks and such on the property. Apparently there were also detectives at the house. Regular police, I could understand with the “He is famous” storyline.

    On another note, Amazon is selling Jackson’t things and their stock had risen by 3% this early morning. Strange what controls stock prices.

  100. Beth says:

    Morning,
    I honestly do hope that LB was there in Seattle.
    He is the guardian of Dannie-Lynn and it is important for the Court to see that he is standing up for her interests… > even if only by appearance.
    (her mom’s prior interests which now are only her daughter’s)
    I hope that they can finally settle this Marshall litigation, and personally I hope it will be just enough to take care of DL and pay off Anna’s lawyers.
    *Maybe THEN TX will put this harassment to rest! It is TIME for the O’Q law firm to stop throwing away their money and intimidating bloggers for jurisdictional purposes > and to stop these false allegations that their client was conspired against!
    Well, have to get ready for work, have a nice day everyone.

  101. BEVERLY says:

    JMA—-When I read this morning,the reason McCabe is suing,is because until the bloggers started with there conspiracy,Virgie enjoyed a good reputation.OF course she did,got rid of Anna early,in uniform,the cop of the year pulled her daughter out of a strip joint by her hair,Maybe in Harris county,stone age tactics go,and I beg to differ,Virgie getting booed out of the Bahamas had nothing to do with TMZ CBS bloggers,Howard Lyndal or any one but herself,The New YORK POST article on Vergie trying to sell Daniel’s memorial has nothing to do with bloggers.Splash also being told to “keep the family fued going ,has nothing to do with the bloggers,all that Virgie did herself,

  102. JMA says:

    Right now, there is a lot of speculation as to what caused MJ’s cardiac arrest and more so due to the former Attorney Brian Oxman saying what he said. Yeah always has to be someone coming out of the woodwork to get the pot of speculation stirring.The truth will come out after Autopsy and Toxicology and then the decision to investigate further will be determined. I bet if it is determined scripts contributed to his death that his family will not be as anal has Virgie Arthur was and has been.

    Another one of Michael’s former Attorneys from his Criminal Case was on Anderson Cooper last night and he was saying that when he met Michael at the request of Mark Geragos, what he saw was a very frail, sad and lonely child like man. He said Mark G. told him to be prepared that at the time Michael was like a 12 year old in a 45 year olds body.

    DG [100] there were tee shirts being sold yesterday of Michael Jackson for $20.00 a pop, there are no limits on how many people cash in on the death of a Celebrity.

  103. Sammy1 says:

    DG and JMA – According to news report, the tow truck was for removing the live-in, now missing, doctor’s bmw.

  104. JMA says:

    Swim’s insight into what is being said via media networks and their guests in the wake of Michael Jackson death.

    Sammy1 [104] just read that and supposedly there is now a search for the doctor.

  105. susieq2 says:

    Ken, How is Rose doing after starting chemo drug?

  106. JMA says:

    According to TMZ Debbie Rowe will or can get full custody of the children according to them Debbie’s parental rights were never terminated. They also say she will receive a huge amount of child support from Michael Jackson’s estate.

    http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/26/debbie-rowe-michael-jackson-custody-paris-michael-jr-death-overdose-children/#comments

  107. JMA says:

    This is how shit spins out of control and rumors fly when a Celebrity dies! First reported it was a Dr. Thome who was Michael’s personal live in doctor and that he was the one who was trying to revive Michael until EMT’s arrived. Now it is being reported, it was a Dr. Conrad Robert Murray from Houston who had been living with Michael and was the one who tried to revive him.

  108. heath says:

    I am thinking that we are going to see a bigger media blitz than we did with Anna.

    I am also thinking if we didn’t see it the first time and all the false stories etc put out by the media would we have been so cynical this time?

    We have certainly learnt a lot in our 2 years.

    Rose I think we should follow this case and compare it to what happened to Anna and Howard. The same media faces are getting involved.

    What Lawyer would say damaging things about his client.Is that acceptable ?

    The children should be out of bounds here as well.

  109. JMA says:

    heath [109] funny how you said this “I am thinking that we are going to see a bigger media blitz than we did with Anna.” WV seems to think it is going to put a bigger spotlight on Howard as far as the criminal case. Yeah they are going by the comment Brian Oxman made in comparison to Michael and Anna.

  110. Ken says:

    The first of 2 articles on MJ is up today, one will be up later also. As bad rose feels, you can count on her that she’s working her california and texas sources.

  111. trnmus says:

    John N your comments about Howard and Dr. E do not speak well for you. They make you look like another person who tried to grab hold
    of Anna for attention and when you didn’t get the attention you thought you should you got ugly. How will attorney’s working for these people
    think of your professionalism?

  112. william says:

    Congratulations!!!! I love this site and all the opinions expressed here. There is some damn good detective work as well. Many more years to come!
