It took Michael Jackson's doctor a half-hour to call 911after finding MJ unconscious -- this according to the doc's lawyer, Edward Chernoff.

Chernoff explained this bizarre revelation by saying Dr. Conrad Murray didn't immediately make the call from his cell phone because he didn't know the exact address of Michael's mansion. For the record, the house is just above Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills -- one of the most famous streets in the country.

Chernoff said Murray eventually got someone in the house to make the call.

Murray has already taken heat for performing CPR on Jackson as he was lying on a bed. Chernoff's excuse ... it was a "firm bed.

Ik vind het toch heel vreemd hoor die dokter, hij wist zijn adres niet?

Too little too late?

Apparently Michael Jackson's family had hired a "sober coach" to accompany Jackson during his London concerts and help steer him away from what might prove to have been a fatal addiction to prescription painkillers.

The situation was so bad that his family considered forcibly committing the singer into rehab, which is possible under California law, but requires the recommendation of two different psychiatrists and approval from a judge.

Jackson allegedly adamantly insisted that he had no drug problem, but finally relented to detoxing at home under medical supervision, along with assistance from a sobriety coach.

The exact cause of Jackson's death is yet unknown, but if it does indeed turn out to be drug-related, it should serve as a warning to anyone out there to seek help before it's too late.

The show must go on!

Michael Jackson's highly anticipated This Is It spectacular, planned for London's O2 Arena, will continue as a tribute show, MSNBC is reporting.

A-list performers are expected to appear, replicating what was planned for Michael's concerts.

It is rumored that Madonna will take the stage - as the legend was to make a surprise appearance during Michael's run at the O2 Arena.

According to a tour organizer, one performance will now be held in September, but a decision has not been made as to where the tribute show will take place. Though, most likely, it will be LA.

That will be quite amazing to see!

King of Pop to have a large, public funeral
By Amelia Robinson | Monday, June 29, 2009, 04:27 PM

Michael Jackson lived a great, big life so it should be no surprise he’ll have a great, big funeral.

The pop icon will be laid to rest after a large public funeral, Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson said Monday, June 27, during a press conference with Rev. Al Sharpton.

The family has sanctioned a second autopsy to be conducted on the King of Pop's body, which they said is already underway.

De kaartjes waren nog niet verstuurd, maar fans die al hadden betaald, kunnen ervoor kiezen het kaartje toegezonden te krijgen.

De plaatsbewijzen zijn speciaal door Michael Jackson ontworpen, aldus AEG Live, en er zijn acht verschillende versies van.

hij schijnt een paar honderd unreleased nummers te hebben klaarliggen, opgenomen en wel, als verzekering voor zijn kinderen. En het is bekend dat hij voor elk album veel te veel nummers opnam. Zullen wel demoversies zijn, die waren allemaal vrij ver uitgewerkt over het algemeen (op youtube staan wel wat van die demos). Ik denk dat die alleen afgeproduceerd zullen moeten worden, maar dat hij de zanglijnen sowieso wel ingezongen heeft.

Slim van hem, in het licht van zijn financiële misere.

AMSTERDAM - De dokter die Michael Jackson tevergeefs probeerde te reanimeren heeft nog wat rekeningetjes openstaan...

Dokter Conrad Murray is al een maand niet betaald en vraagt zich af waar zijn zuurverdiende drie ton blijft. Hij werd betaald door AEG Live, de promoter van zijn concerten. Volgens hen kan hij lang wachten op zijn centen omdat Michael nooit zijn handtekening onder Murrays contract heeft gezet en dat is helaas een voorwaarde voor uitbetaling...

Volgens Randy Philips van AEG Live was Michaels generale repetitie verbluffend. “Hij danste net zo als de ingehuurde dansers van twintig jaar. Misschien zelfs nog beter.”
Direct na de dood van de popster zijn de rechten op het beeldmateriaal van de repetitie verzekerd door de raad van bestuur van de Londense 02 Arena. De opnamens, die miljoenen waard zouden zijn, zullen volgens een insider in de Daily Star zo geknipt worden dat de kijker het gehele optreden te zien krijgt.

Als dit echt waar is, dan is dat wel fantastisch natuurlijk!
En dat bewijst dan ook dat het geen wandelend lijkje was, maar dat hij voor zijn doen gewoon in goede conditie was. Ben benieuwd wat hier waar van is! Want eerder waren er geruchten dat hij maar bij 2 repetities was geweest en het lijkt me dat dan niet alle nummers er goed op zullen staan.

Michael Jackson's Mom Fears Looting

Posted Jun 29th 2009 7:07PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonThe lawyer for Michael Jackson's mother filed documents in court today, sounding the alarm that people up to no good will try and fleece Michael's estate. The court had apparently had enough concern to make Katherine the administrator of the estate pending a hearing next Monday.

Katherine's attorney, Burt Levitch, claims there are numerous bank accounts of Michael's that are being controlled by third parties. He says the bank accounts are used "to pay expenses of [Michael's] parents' home." Levitch says these bank accounts need to be controlled so third parties don't misspend the money.

Levitch also says there is worry about Michael's stake in the Sony-ATV Music Publishing Catalog -- which includes Beatles' works -- that Levitch says is the most important asset in the estate. Levitch says no one is now representing Michael's interests and he wants Katherine to step in her late son's shoes.

Levitch says at least one person is claiming to have a power of attorney to act on Michael's behalf. Although a power of attorney would have ended when Michael died, Levitch worries that not everyone knows that and assets could be misappropriated.

And the family is questioning whether a will really exists, because no one has informed them of that fact. We're told attorney John Branca, who was re-hired by Michael three weeks ago, is in possession of a will.

Katherine has the right under the order "to control tangible personal property currently in the physical possession of a third party, and to marshall and secure such assets."

Michael Jackson's Last Art Purchase

Posted Jun 29th 2009 6:20PM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson bought some pretty expensive art two weeks before he died.

MIchael Jackson Art

On June 11, Jackson purchased a picture of the Wicked Witch of the West, a painting called "The Donut Queen," and a painting called "Play Ball." The artist for all three works was Nelson De La Nuez. Jackson plunked down $13,000 for the three items, which were delivered to his home on June 15.

We're told Jackson was "obsessed" with the Wicked Witch painting.

Here's the weirdest part. Someone from AEG handled the money side of the transaction. We have the bank wire -- AEG dealt directly with the art seller.

quote:

A will drafted by Michael Jackson in 2002 which divides the singer's estate among his mother, three children and one or more charities could play a central role in determining how his tangled financial relationships will be unwound.

Several people close to the late Mr. Jackson said that a lawyer for the pop singer could submit the will, believed to be his last, to Los Angeles Superior Court as soon as Thursday. That filing would cap a tense period in which relatives and advisers of the late singer debated what document, if any, was valid.

One or two other earlier wills have emerged since Mr. Jackson's death last Thursday, according to people familiar with the situation. The Associated Press reported that Mr. Jackson's parents, Joseph and Katherine Jackson, said in a Monday court filing that they believed the singer had died without a valid will. Joseph Jackson isn't believed to be included in the most recent will.

In an email message, a lawyer for Mr. Jackson's parents said neither he nor his clients had seen the 2002 will. "No will has been presented to family or us," wrote the lawyer, L. Londell McMillan, who also once represented Michael Jackson. "We will review any will when we see it."

Mr. McMillan said that he had spent much of Monday trying to ensure that Mr. Jackson's mother would receive custody of the singer's three children. A Los Angeles court on Monday granted her temporary custody pending a hearing in July. Mr. McMillan said the family is "pleased" with that decision. It wasn't clear what custody arrangements are called for by the 2002 will.

This will names as executors lawyer John Branca and a veteran music executive named John McClain who was also a friend of Mr. Jackson. Mr. Branca, who served as Mr. Jackson's primary attorney between 1980 and 2006, wrote the will. Mr. Jackson had rehired Mr. Branca the week before his death last Thursday. Mr. Branca didn't respond to requests for comment Monday; Mr. McClain couldn't be reached.

Unwinding Mr. Jackson's estate is likely to be a thorny challenge, given the size and complexity of both the assets and the debts involved. In all, Mr. Jackson died with around $500 million debt, but the value of his assets probably outweigh that, possibly by $200 million or more, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mr. Jackson's most valuable asset is believed to be his 50% stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing, a joint venture with Sony Corp. That stake is collateral for a $300 million loan held by Barclays PLC. And Mr. Jackson's level of control over the venture was reduced in a 2006 refinancing. For instance, he no longer has veto power over key executive appointments, according to people familiar with the situation. Sony also has the right to buy half of Mr. Jackson's 50% stake when it chooses.

Mr. Jackson's other assets include Mijac, a publishing catalog that comprises his own musical composition that is collateral for a separate $73 million loan. And control of the master recordings of his albums, currently in the hands of Sony, is set to revert to him in five years, according to people familiar with the matter.

But Mr. Jackson last year defaulted on a $24.5 million loan backed by another major component of his portfolio, Neverland Valley Ranch. He then became a partner in a venture -- Sycamore Valley Ranch Co., LLC -- that now owns the property. It is not clear what will become of the property once the will is executed.

Apart from the wrangling over the will, funeral arrangements also remained a subject of debate among family members, with logistical and other issues contributing to apparent gridlock in planning, according to people familiar with the situation.

At a news conference Monday morning outside the family's home in Encino, Calif., Joseph Jackson was asked whether funeral arrangements had been made. "We're not ready for that yet," the elder Mr. Jackson said, repeating the words of Rev. Al Sharpton, who stood at his side.

Also on Monday, concert promoter AEG Live unveiled plans to refund the $85 million worth of tickets it sold for the 50 concerts Mr. Jackson planned to give in London starting July 13. Buyers will be given a choice between receiving a cash refund, including service fees, or a ticket as a sourvenir.

A spokesman for AEG, a division of Anschutz Corp., said that any cash that remains unclaimed would go toward covering its production costs, which are estimated to be above $20 million. Profits beyond that would go to Mr. Jackson's estate, the spokesman added. It wasn't clear how much, if any, of its insurance coverage AEG is likely to collect.

AMSTERDAM - De advocaat van Michael Jacksons arts Conrad Murray laat weten dat de ambulance pas na een half uur reanimeren werd gebeld...

Volgens de advocaat was er geen telefoonlijn in de kamer van Michael. Murray heeft Michael meteen proberen te reanimeren en zegt geen tijd te hebben gehad om iemand te roepen om een ambulance te bellen. Toen hij doorkreeg dat zijn pogingen geen succes hadden, stopte hij even met reanimeren, riep om hulp en zo werd uiteindelijk een ambulance gebeld.

Washington (ANI): Michael Jackson’s former producer has revealed that the King of Pop wanted 1981 tune ‘One Day In Your Life’ to be played at his farewell ''concert''. The track was recorded by Jackson for his 1975 album Forever, and he himself thought if would make a great tune for his funeral, reports Contactmusic.

The song's co-writer and producer, Samm Brown recalls, "It's a very prophetic song. The lyrics are very deep and Michael even told me, ''This would be a good song for my obituary or my funeral.''" Brown insists the song was always one of Michael's favourites: "He liked using that part of his voice. He had incredible range but he liked that sound."

He adds, "Michael was such a perfectionist and he had a lot of stuff that he didn't use. I know for a fact that Motown (record label) has a deep vault and I would say there are 100 or more tracks sitting at Motown alone. "Plus there will be somebody in his (Jackson) camp who will want to release all of the lost tracks he recorded - dating way back to the 1960s. There''s huge money to be made off of these recordings, and this is the way of the music business - it''s still a business."
