Three of Michael Jackson’s former bodyguards said they do not believe the accusations that the late King of Pop was a child molester — rather, he was fond of the ladies.
“Being a father myself, and being a man — men know men — he had the desires for women like we do,” bodyguard Bill Whitfield said in an exclusive interview broadcast Tuesday on Good Morning America, adding that the Thriller singer often had women in the back of his limousine.
“We had a curtain that covered in the backseat,” Whitfield said. “We couldn’t see in the backseat — they’d talk back there and you know…”
The bodyguards are planning on writing a book about Jackson they intend to call In Defense Of The King.
ABC is planning on broadcasting more clips from their interview with the bodyguards on ABC’s Nightline Tuesday night.

Real or Rubbish? Nos 17: Justin Timberlake and Prince Sign Up for Michael Jackson Tribute Show. mmmm
Recent report suggested that Justin Timberlake and Prince have been booked to perform at a tribute show dedicated for Michael Jackson. The upcoming gig reportedly is initiated by Jermaine Jackson and will include Santana on the performers line-up.

“The best way and most suitable way is to assemble the world’s largest tribute in history that is only fitting to a man who moved the hearts and souls of an unimaginable amount,” Jermaine said as quoted by Undercover. Additionally, the older brother of the King of Pop was said to have signed Janet Jackson to fill the vacant slot in the Jackson Five during the tribute.
The gig is expected to take place at Wembley Arena in London on June 8 and rumored to be broadcast globally. Other rumored performers include Shakira, Earth Wind and Fire, Usher, Nelson Mandela, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Jabbawockeez, Seal and Ne-Yo. There is no official confirmation regarding the report as the official site of Michael Jackson tribute show still mentions the gig as a “coming soon” event.
Jermaine Jackson has planned the tribute show since last year. It was originally planned to be held in London before then moved to Vienna and postponed until 2010 after organizer struggled to get stars to perform at short notice. The gig was then canceled after its main sponsor decided to back out of the project.

Over the years, Chandler subjected himself to a series of cosmetic procedures, satisfying his own vanity and paranoia that Jackson’s fans were coming after him, family sources said.
Years of nips and tucks rendered Chandler virtually unrecognizable from the way he looked in the ’90s.
Chandler regularly self-administered Botox and cosmetic facial fillers.
“He was a handsomer version of Rob Lowe, that’s how drop-dead handsome he was,” a loved one said. “Since he was such a handsome guy, as he got older, he became more obsessive-compulsive about his looks.”
Once a stunningly handsome and prominent Beverly Hills dentist, Chandler saw his life turned upside down by his son’s claims — enduring the collapse of his practice and physical assaults, and driven to disguise himself with repeated plastic surgeries to avoid abuse from rabid Jacko fans.
Jackson was never charged with a crime.
The accusations initially tore Jordan, now 29, apart from his mom, June Chandler, who was blamed for getting him mixed up with Jackson.
But in recent years, that changed, with Jordan reconnecting with his mother at the same time he cut off ties with his father, family sources said.
Jordan claimed his dad attacked him with a dumbbell and got a restraining order against him in fall 2006. They never spoke to each other again.
“Over the years, [Evan] began to develop tremendous mood swings. He was always depressed,” a family member said.
“He stopped coming to family events because he was afraid of being recognized, like anyone in the family would care. That eventually turned into permanent estrangement from his family.”
A New York Post Report and they insist on calling Michael Jackson, Jacko! Why!?!?

Publicist Raymone Bain recently told Jamie Foster Brown (S2S) that Venus and Serena’s mom once told her that the sisters would love to meet Michael Jackson. Since Bain was repping Michael and Serena, this made the task somewhat easy. Bain was informed that Michael would love to meet them, he admired them a lot.
Raymone informed Serena and Venus that she had a surprise for them. They were traveling on the highway, on their way to Neverland unbeknownst to the sisters. Suddenly Serena said, “Wait a minute, we’ve been driving forever and Venus said, “Where are we going for the surprise?”
Raymone told them, I can’t tell you. Finally, Serena said, “Listen, I’m getting tired. So either we’re going to pull over or we turn it around or you’re going to tell me where we’re going.” I’ve had enough. Raymone finally told her, “you’re going to meet Michael Jackson.” Serena said, “What!” Don’t tell me that’s where we’re going.

According to Wiki….
“In the Closet” was originally conceived as a duet between Jackson and Madonna. According to a 1992 interview with British journalist Jonathan Ross, Madonna said she worked on some lyrical ideas for the song but when she presented them to Michael, he decided they were too provocative and she decided not to continue with the project!

Producer Teddy Riley has given weight to LaToya Jackson’s belief that her brother Michael was murdered, after revealing the King of Pop had named potential suspects in the event of his death.
“He mentioned it to me a few times… like people were out to kill him… and he would say names, saying these are the people who are trying to kill me,” Riley told the National Enquirer.
As soon as news of Jackson’s passing broke, Riley said he immediately called the singer’s family to alert them to the possibility he might have been killed.
“I said, ‘Listen, he was murdered. Somebody didn’t like something Jackson said or something he’s doing or didn’t want him to go to the top, so they had to get rid of him.’ We’ve got so many people we think it could be. It’s going to come out. You’re going to find out.”

Not only are Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri reportedly back together, but they were never really apart, according to People magazine.

The couple appeared to be a done deal around the time of Michael Jackson’s death, a rumor that gained traction when Dupri did not attend the funeral services. Jackson herself told Harper’s Bazaar that she was single.
But People.com quotes an unnamed source who says, “They never really broke up. Jermaine wanted to give her some space when Michael died.”
There are even reports on the blogosphere that the two are planning a wedding.
“They’ve been saying that for years and you don’t see a ring on my finger,” Dupri told People on Friday at a Prive Las Vegas party to launch his Nu Pop Movement watch line. “I guess it just sounds good to have that rumor this time of the year or something.”

Motown founder Berry Gordy revealed recently in a television interview that he never asked superstar Diana Ross to marry him early in her career because “she had to have that stardom” and he didn’t want their relationship to interfere with that.
Gordy, in a recent interview with Barbara Walters on ABC-TV’s “20/20″, admitted he loved the young starlet who came to prominence as lead vocalist with the Supremes with such hits as Baby Love, Come See About Me and Back In My Arms Again. She left the group in 1970 and skyrocketed to solo success with a string of chart-toppers including, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Reach Out and Touch, The Boss, Upside Down and I’m Coming Out.
Rhonda Ross Kendrick daughter of Diana & Berry
“Diana and I are the same kind of people,” Gordy began, adding, “She wanted what I wanted. And we saw it up there, we set out to get it and we vowed never to let our personal relationship affect it.”
Gordy continued, “I loved her but wasn’t selfish enough to want to marry her and take her out of what I knew she had to have. She had to have that stardom up there.”
After they broke up, Gordy said, they had one final rendezvous together and she became pregnant. Years passed before he realized the child was his own, Gordy said. He said it wasn’t until he noticed the remarkable resemblance as she got older that it dawned on him that Rhonda must be his child. When the girl was 13, he and Diana told her that Gordy was her biological father, Gordy revealed.

A TMZ Report:
Something is going on with the Jackson family … multiple sources are telling us the family has been invited with open arms to attend the premiere of “This Is It” … but Katherine Jackson and other family members insist they have been snubbed.
Here’s what we know — 60 tickets for the Michael Jackson movie have been offered to the family, yet Katherine insists no one ever called them about getting seats. Several sources tell us they believe the ticket offer was made to certain members of the family but the offer was never relayed to Katherine.
Fact is … Katherine doesn’t want to see the movie. She tells TMZ as far as she’s concerned it’s not a real movie because there is no acting — just rehearsal footage.
But we’re also told Jackson’s three kids have been telling Katherine they want to see it … bad.
Joe Jackson insists “This Is It” is mostly body doubles and “the media is going to tear this movie apart.”
Sources say Sony not only offered the Jackson family seats to the premiere, but also offered a private screening.
