L.A. Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has been hearing multiple Motions in his Court during the last two weeks in Los Angeles including if the trial will still start on March 28, 2011. Judge Pastor has ordered the defense team for Dr. Murray Conrad’s to hand over all discovery due to the prosecution or face contempt charges with santions and a possible postponement of the trial. The defense attorneys for Dr. Murray, led by Houston attorney Edward M. Chernoff, have stated that Conrad cannot afford a prolonged delay in the trial. We will be checking to see if the hearings coming up before the start of the trial on March 28, will be televised and if so will be updating the scrolling calendar on the front page of the site.

Joe Jackson is alleged to be putting money in a “theme park” in Viet Nam for his son, don’t even ask about that but we will try to verify that and let all of you know what if anything is going on with that “adventure”.

Why was Dr. Conrad Murray only charged with one felony of manslaughter? Why are the doctors who treated Michael Jackson in California not being charged for over prescribing? Who were Michael Jackson’s California doctors? More important was it suicide as Dr. Murray’s attorneys seem to be hinting? We have the range from suicide to murder with a settling of one felony count of manslaughter.
Now that Joe Jackson, Micheal’s father, has filed a wrongful death suit in the Central California Federal Court against Dr. Murray, we may get a look into the thinking of everyone in this sad saga. The papers are not up on the public site to purchase yet, but when they are we will be following this case til it’s conclusion. The papers are on TMZ.com to download and beginning next week we will be following this case through legal filings as we like to do here.
LATEST TEXAS FILINGS
Here are the latest filings in the Texas state court in Houston on the Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, Art Harris, Harvey Levin, TMZ Productions Inc. etc. I consider these filings as I often say as housekeeping issues and nothing earth shattering new. There has been some additional discovery release involving court proceedings in the Bahamas in relation to Daniel Smith’s Inquest. I will check on Monday and see if they are public record and if so will post them for discussions. It is rare that we get to look into how another country courts conduct investigations and hearings.
June 21, 2010 Turner’s Notice Notice of Submission of the Motion for Leave to Designate Responsible Third Parties due to a filing error in May 2010. This is for submission only without hearing and is set for June 28, 2010.
June 22, 2010 Art Harris Notice of Submission of the Motion to Strike Turner’s Motion for Leave. This is for submission only without hearing and is set for June 28, 2010.
June 25, 2010 Virgie Arthur’s Motion Objecting to any mediation to settle this lawsuit while discovery is not complete and the Appeals pending in the First Court of Appeals are decided.
Arthur’s Notice of hearing to be conducted on August 6, 2010 at 2:30 PM in conjunction with other Motions set for hearing for both Howard K. Stern and Virgie Arthur on the same date.
June 30, 2010 Virgie Arthur’s Fifth Amended Original Petition.
July 1, 2010 First Court of Appeals issued a new opinion, denied Arthur’s request for a rehearing, corrected the original opinion issued in April 2010. The court has granted Harris Motion for Mandamus for the three Orders to Compel. It appears to me on first glance that the Court has now extended In Re. Weekley Homes to cover appointing a Special Master in cases such as this. Which IMO is good and should continue to be expanded in Texas.
July 1, 2010 Virgie Arthur’s SurReply to Howard K Stern’s’ Motion to Quash and for a Protective Order, the Reply says Stern had been served with the new lawsuit but has not reply… I think and would have to look it up that he has 21 days to reply and if the information that Arthur is depending on says he was served on June 18 then I think his answer is not due until July 9 (21 days later). It does have an interesting implication on the Cosby lawsuit settlement.

Posted by Rose in Anna Nicole Smith, Celebrity Trials, Debbie Rowe, Dr. Conrad Murray, Edward M. Chernoff, Harvey Levin, High Proflie Trials, Michael Jackson, PrezHitton.com, TMZ, TMZ.com

We have all been reading the bombarding of “news” reports since Michael Jackson died. Each infotainment site (TMZ and Perez Hilton) with online papers and newspapers and television all wanting those advertising dollars and so the sensational stories continue and the spin gets larger. Let’s take a look at where we are today.
1. Someone has Michael Jackson prosthetic nose? That is the creepiest one I have read.
2. Michael Jackson has still not been buried. That is very reminiscent of James Brown hanging in limbo while family members fight it out.
3. We have doctors under investigation and charges soon to follow. This time led by the L. A. P. D. and the L. A. D. A., wonder who told feel good AG Jerry Brown to stay home and OFF of news conferences, whoever did ~~ good job!
4. Rumors of custody disputes between Debbie Rowe, Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson’s oldest sister Rebbie are detailed in every media you read.
5. We have now seen the leaked video of how badly Jackson was burned in the Pepsi commercial, some say that was the beginning of his drug use and plastic surgery. So many plastic surgeries that many people said generated the impression that Jackson was just a freak in the latter years of his life.
6. Jackson’s children wore masks when out with him another nutso thing for him to do, Wacko Jacko. Was he wacko or protecting his children’s identities from the paparazzi always following him; always trying to get that picture that would sell and show an ever more eccentric Jackson as his youth passed him by?
7. There is a lot of money at stake in Michael Jackson’s Estate and with that comes even more lawsuits around the corner. Thank goodness there is a no contest clause in the trust fund papers it is said by Katherine Jackson’s lawyers. How do we know this? The infotainment business says we know this because Katherine Jackson’s lawyers asked the court if there was any “loophole” where she could contest the Will’s executors and not lose her cut of the action.
8. The paramedics allegedly said Jackson was dead when they got to the house but Dr. Conrad Murray made them take Jackson to the hospital. Rumors are flying it was so the doctor could hide things, but later he told police exactly where to find the closet of drugs. Just another example of the spin and stories circulating on the days there is no “real” news on Jackson.
9. A tormented soul Michael Jackson appears to have been one that openly talked about the abuse of his father as a child. However we read that as an adult Jackson, no matter what disarray his own life might be even including tabloid turmoil he always financially supported his mother. Think about that and how many of us had even knew about that until the AP article this past week saying the executors are filing for an allowance for Jackson’s mother as well as his children to began being paid for by the Estate.
10. Then there is the question of who are the children’s “biological” dad and mom? Easy to answer, Michael Jackson was their daddy and that is all that matters at the end of the day. He wanted to protect his children in life, let’s hope they are protected after his death.
So many questions to feed so much frenzy, I predict Anna Nicole Smith and those in her life will begin to fade from the public view and scrutiny as Jackson’s death, and wealth will take center stage any day now. It is already consuming the infotainment “news” in our new 24/7 thirst for more dirt thus equaling those much needed advertising dollars.

I have a few suggestions. Look at these pictures of Never Land and the wondrous things that Michael Jackson owned. When Never Land was being foreclosed on for taxes, Jackson made a brilliant move where a billionaire saved Never Land but Jackson kept his name on the deed as part owner. Jackson is quoted many times as saying he hated Never Land and would never return but also holding he fought to continued to hold onto his sanctuary turned hell on earth. The magnificent things that once graced the rooms and grounds of Never Land were to be auctioned off and Jackson stepped in legally, just this past March 2009, and prevented that, the boy who bought Never Land could never quite let it or the magnificence he created there go.
So here are my suggestions:
I say let the billionaire fight with the other land owners in Santa Barbara County California about how to have both, their privacy and Michael Jackson there forever. Never Land in the end should be the final resting place of the King of Pop and his wondrous things. Many of his, often over the top possessions, are now on display in Beverly Hills, both he and they should be returned to Never Land. Michael Jackson should be buried there. It takes Santa Barbara County just designating Never Land a “museum” and that waives any objections to burying the “King of Pop” on the sanctuary he so craved in life, let him have it in death. It feels like after making his life hell in 2003 with allegations that followed him to the end of his life, it is a small penance for the wealthy county to give in a tad and make it happen.
Let the boy who grew up, many say, to hate himself find the peace that Never Land will give him, and remember he always held on to his Never Land and it’s furnishings so did he really hate Never Land or just the people who violated his sanctuary?
Tell Joe Jackson to take a hike back to Las Vegas and leave Jackson’s 79 year old mother and his children alone, take a hike Joe! Maybe we won’t have to see the self serving always promoting father of Jackson; the man, I think, who was the bases of the boy who grew up to hate himself the man, Michael Jackson.
Remember that Jackson bought Never Land when he was twenty-nine, a success bigger then anyone of his generation and probably generations to come. He only left Never Land in 2005, discouraged and mad at the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s department that crashed into his sanctuary. Many who have followed Michael Jackson in life say this happened only because he was eccentric and a boy who wanted to go back and redo a childhood stolen. He provided a place for countless children, and how many of those countless children told those horrid tales?
Give Never Land back to the King of Pop and his fans. Take his belongings from the Beverly Hills auction house and return them to the grand museum Never Land can be. Perhaps if they want, Never Land can provide Michael Jackson’s children a true sanctuary and a place to feel close to their daddy. After all is said and done, he was their daddy and they loved him. They grew up at Never Land and Michael Jackson wrote many a song there, has anyone asked his children what they think their daddy would have wanted?
Let’s remember the genius who wrote the music, inspired a generation of dancers with his graceful and sometimes new and never seen before moves. I was even impressed and remember his famous Moon Walk and from there on his toes like a ballerina. In his day and even now there was no one like Jackson the boy who was a man at twelve and eccentric and discouraged with a world who many say never accepted him way before he turned 50.
Let’s celebrate the life of the man who gave so much to others, when he was burned in that Pepsi commercial he built a burn unit for children when he recovered. At the age of 24 he knew great pain and perhaps that was the place where Jackson began to hate himself, the need for the ever changing look and more surgeries, more allegations, more accusations because he was “different”.
Perhaps he committed none of the sins that were lashed out at him, perhaps his only sin in society’s eyes was that he was “different”. In our society, if you are different you are either eccentric, or nuts, depending on your wealth but perhaps Jackson was eccentric and brilliant.
Jackson was a very complex man we learn now. One who was great at business investments, but horrible with personal finances. He hated his dad but loved his mom and tried to share his life’s achievements with her and she did love him. He was eccentric and a genius. Private but loved his fans. Craved his sanctuary but opened it up to children to make sure they had the childhood he never had. In the end he was just “daddy” to his children and they loved him.
Michael Jackson I think as we see this all unfold, is going to be a man always living with extremes. Which brings up my question about wealth and extremes in many talented people of the land we call Hollyweird. Do they prosecute every employee that ever picked up drugs at the pharmacy for Jackson? Do they go after the doctors? How much is Jackson responsible? Was he afraid he would not be successful or even healthy enough to do a come back tour?
This was a complex man of great talent, generosity and intrigue, and all of it is going to play out in the media and the courts for years to come. Many of us thought there would not be another infotainment frenzy story for those ad dollars for a long time after the Anna Nicole Smith ongoing court battles, go figure. This one is bigger, more complex, lots of excesses, money, fame and yet fear of this lost eccentric genius named Michael Jackson.
Yep buckle up and let’s get Never Land declared a museum; get his things back from the auction house; MY God to want to auction his MTV music awards? Has anyone asked his children how they feel about Never Land? It was their home for many years and as you look through the forty three pictures I did yesterday, tell me if you don’t see a young good looking Michael Jackson in a lot of them.
With generosity seems to come demons always with a mixture of those who will get close and betray you, or get close and give you anything you want. Even the state of California knew Jackson had problems with prescription drugs at least by 2003 and forward. Is Feel Good AG Jerry Brown an enabler because he did not use his “post” to investigate some “real” enablers and doctor feel goods, or is he not? My prediction this is going to kill any hope feel good Jerry Brown has for any bid for a run for the governorship but then I have been wrong before. By the way has anyone asked him why the generation who came of age in the 60’s and 70’s nicknamed him, Governor Feel Good Jerry Brown? That is a question left for another day and one we will ask or relate for days, weeks, months to come.
