Rabbi Shmuley Boteach releases recordings of conversations he had with the late King of Pop. Jackson fans had the opportunity to hear these never-before-released recordings of the Gloved One in his own words on Friday, Sept. 25 2009 on “Dateline,” when Rabbi Shmuley sat down with Meredith Vieira in an exclusive interview, prior to the release of his book: The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation. The rabbi recorded these conversations with Jackson’s permission between 1999 and 2001.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
JACKSON FANS…TALK TO ME? Has this man betrayed our dear Michael Jackson? Are profits being given to MJ’s children? How does the Jackson Family feel about this?

“It was Michael’s desperate wish that our conversations be produced and the book be published so that his heart might be known to a public he understood was greatly suspicious of him.“
That’s bullshit. Michael was an intensely private man. He wrote his own autobiography. If he had wanted the world to know his private thoughts, feelings and anguish, he had ample opportunity to do so. But he didn’t. I doubt Michael knew you were taping his conversations, much less urge you to publish his innermost thoughts. If he was so desperate, why did you wait till he’s dead? Because now he can’t sue you, right?
You are a bloodsucking leech, Shmuley. Why don’t you tell everyone the real reason why Michael dumped you? Because you stole money from the Heal the Kids Foundation, that’s why. And you call yourself a spiritual leader!
May God give you back a double dose of what you did to Michael Jackson.

Rabbi publishes a book about Michael Jackson
26-Sep-2009
Written by: Domonique Hume
Rabbi makes book about Michael’s flaws, how sad.Michael Jackson’s former adviser Rabbi Shmuley Boteach published a book. In the book he talks about Michael’s fear of growing old, him appearing to be abusing drugs, and cosmetic surgery about a decade before he died.
Before anyone purchases this book I want you to think, “Why did Michael shut Boteach out of his life?” Michael thought Boteach was his friend, but Boteach allegedly back stabbed him and stole money from his charity.
Everyone knows that Michael had no intention for any of his dirty laundry to be aired for millions to see. Boteach just wants to be known.
I thought that whenever you have a spiritual adviser all the information that is talked about between the adviser and the patient is confidential. Boteach if you think his book will make you famous you are a serious problems. All you will be getting is 10 minutes of fame. once your ten minutes is over everyone will forget who Rabbi Shumuley Boteach is. Have you ever heard “what goes around comes around”? well its true.
This just shows that you can never let your guide down because their is someone always ready to tackle you. Celebrities especially like Michael most of the time never have real friend. People will do anything for fame. If you are a real Michael fan you wouldn’t even think about buying his degrading book.

September 11
“What More Can I Give” (also “Todo Para Ti” in Spanish) is a song recorded as a charity single by Michael Jackson and more than 35 other artists, with the goal of raising $50 million for numerous charities in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Spanish Version
A Spanish version was also recorded. Jackson was originally inspired to write the song after meeting with former South African president Nelson Mandela in 1999, and commented that the song was intended to “find solace in the wake of the attack on America and to create a sense of global unity in the face of mindless violence and mass murder.”
Tommy Mottola
Conflict with Sony
The single was never released due to a conflict between Jackson and Sony Music. Sony believed the release would create a marketing conflict with Invincible, his then-new album. However, even months after Invincible’s release, Sony still refused to release the single. This was one of several factors in Jackson’s labelling Sony chief Tommy Mottola a “racist” who he believed had sabotaged the marketing of his new material, and thus announcing his withdrawal from Epic Records. While the song never saw proper retail release, a pay download was eventually made available via whatmorecanigive.com, the (now defunct) official site.
Sony, however, claimed that it was Jackson’s own people that pulled the single from release because it was learned that the song’s executive producer, Marc Schaffel, was a former director of gay pornography, and, thus, they did not want him to be associated with Michael Jackson or a charity-benefit single.
Performance - On October 21, 2001, the song was performed at a 9/11 benefit concert called United We Stand: What More Can I Give?. This was Jackson’s last brand new song performed.
Award -In October 2003, The making of the song was shown at the 2003 Radio City Music Awards, where Jackson was presented with a humanitarian award.

This report sounds so ‘out there’… Where does this stuff come from? Readers your thoughts….
Unauthorized biography
Almost two decades ago, an actress friend and I posed as a grieving couple at a grave site at Forest Lawn Memorial-Park in Glendale. I was being wooed to write an unauthorized biography about the world’s most mysterious man since Howard Hughes, and I had insisted on at least getting a glimpse of the subject, if even from a distance, before I signed on.
Blond Decoy
As it turned out, I would have a face-to-face encounter with Michael Jackson himself, if only for a fleeting moment. He was among the Jacksons getting out of a nearby limousine to attend his grandmother’s burial, and his path to her grave site took him past us. When he was inches away, he slowed almost to a stop for a split-second and looked at us. My friend, a striking blonde from a popular TV show, could have that affect on people, which is why I asked her to join me.
Enter Michael Jackson
Michael was dressed all in black, sporting a black fedora, and his trademark black curls dangled over his forehead. He wasn’t wearing the surgical mask that had become a part of his wardrobe, and for an instant our faces couldn’t have been more than a foot apart. The man looked like an alien. The skin was pasty. His eyes were lifeless. The famous nose job and jaw implant looked ruddy and rubbery. The only sign of color was the pinkish gloss on his lips. I half wondered if he wasn’t wearing a mask. He walked on to his grandmother’s grave, and I momentarily made eye contact with the person in their mourning party who had tipped me off that Michael would be there – the person who wanted me to co-author the biography of Michael with her.
Name of Book – Michael: From Motown to the Moon
Enid Jackson, the estranged wife of Michael’s older brother Jackie, nodded to me, and I acknowledged her. This was how I had finally agreed to write “Michael: From Motown to the Moon,” a 100,000-word book that was soon commissioned by William Morrow & Co. for a six-figure advance. The book was never published for legal reasons and Enid died in 1997. But the book deal set off an 18-month period of lengthy tape-recorded interview sessions with Enid and an array of Jackson family friends, disgruntled employees, former employees, lovers and ex-lovers. As they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Enid was that woman.

Nutty Mark lester
Digital Spy Reports
Mark Lester’s ex-wife has rejected the Oliver! star’s claim that he could be Paris Jackson’s biological father.
According to Jane Lester, her ex and Michael Jackson formed a strong friendship after Paris was born.
She told the Daily Mail that Mark Lester is “completely nuts”, and thought that his relationship with Michael Jackson was “frankly creepy”.
Mark Lester’s association with the King of Pop reportedly had a part to play in Jane’s divorce from him.
She said: “As soon as he got a whiff of Jackson’s fame, he went ballistic.”

Ian Halperin
MJFC says:
Buyer Beware – “Unmasked” Complete Trash! Why? Because it is full of mistakes, fiction and unproven accusations.
The MJFC has done some background checking. Here are some details you should know before even considering spending a penny on “Unmasked.”
Who is this Man?
Ian Halperin is a Canadian journalist and writer who makes his money writing books on various celebrities, super-models and Hollywood in general. He is the author or coauthor of nine books on stars such as Celine Dion, James Taylor and Kurt Cobain – all of which contain very highly questionable material and often cite “unnamed sources”. So you can’t really say he is a specialist on Michael Jackson but rather a specialist in using famous people to make money.

Calling off his Comeback O2 Shows?
Michael Jackson reportedly called out for his father on the night he died. The pop legend – who passed away on June 25 after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest – was desperate to see dad Joe Jackson as he was convinced his aides weren’t looking after his finances and wanted to call off his 50 comeback shows in London.
Shouting Match
Referring to a phone call Michael – who was due to start his mammoth residency at The O2 arena on July 13 – took in the early hours on the day he died, his biographer Ian Halperin said: “He got in a shouting match about finances. That was when Michael said he was calling off the tour. He said some advisers didn’t care about his welfare. I’ve been told he was crying.”

This is an article I found regarding the production of the Broadway & show Thriller. As usual someone always suing Michael Jackson for something! This was circulating in the media around late January 2009.
According to Okay Blog …This production is not to be confused with Thriller – Live, a musical about Jacko’s career that has been playing in London’s West End since 2006.

Director John Landis
Director John Landis sued Michael Jackson and a Broadway producer claiming the pair lacked the proper rights to adapt a stage production based on Thriller.
1
Landis, who co-wrote and directed the groundbreaking music video, sued the pop star and producer James L. Nederlander’s company over the show.
Nederlander announced that it had acquired the rights to Thriller and songs from Jackson’s blockbuster album of the same name.
1
John Landis said that he had not been paid over profits made from the music video in the past four years, John filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking compensation. Though giving no specific amount on how much Michael had to pay him, the director claimed 50% of profit from the video and other related materials.
James L Nederlander
At the time, Michael’s representative Dr. Tohme Tohme did not give any comment. John’s attorney Miles Feldman had told The Wrap, “I can’t understand what they are doing to John Landis’ company. It is such a straight ahead thing. It makes no sense at all to me.”
The lawsuit news came just after Dr. Tohme Tohme issued a statement saying that the “Thriller” music video will be brought to Broadway stage. The musical project is produced by Nederlander Organization. “The Nederlanders and Michael Jackson represent live theater and musical excellence, so the let music begin,” his representative stated.

Dermot O Leary
Digital Spy Report:
UK TV X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has claimed that newspapers should stop printing sensational stories about the death of Michael Jackson.
The TV host admitted that he worries about the effect that recent media coverage could have on the late singer’s three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and 7-year-old Prince Michael II.
O’Leary met Jackson at London’s O2 arena in March this year, introducing the pop icon before the public announcement of his planned ‘This Is It’ residency.
Discussing the aftermath of Jackson’s death, the presenter told RTÉ Guide:
“I felt so sorry for his family and especially his kids. It’s the whole macabre carousel we are looking at every day in the media and you’re thinking: ‘Come on, he’s got kids – leave it alone now’.”
He added:
“You know when I think of it, I hugged and introduced James Brown about a month before he died, so maybe it’s me, don’t come anywhere near me – I’m the new swine flu!”

Vanessa Feltz
Digital Spy Report:
Vanessa Feltz has claimed that Michael Jackson’s legacy is being overshadowed by recent allegations surrounding his personal life.
The UK TV personality admitted that she is disappointed by the way Jackson’s memory has been tarnished since he passed away on June 25.
Writing in her Daily Express column, Feltz explained: “Each day that passes since the untimely death of Michael Jackson brings allegations, insinuations and complications. Every word uttered by his family, by the insincere leeches who now profess to have been his dearest friends and the staff who tended to him has one tragic effect.
“The controversy, discordant disclosures and repellent revelations kick up a deafening din which almost drowns out the emboldening, gladdening sound of his music.”
She added: “If only the profiteers would pipe down and leave us to enjoy his extraordinary legacy.”.
