Former Employee Tells Mr. Jackson To Pay Up

Just when you thought the John Landis's case was the only fly in the ointment. Michael Jackson's former manager-Raymone Bain sues the pop super star for an astonishing $44 million dollars! She claims the 50 year old hmoonwalker as not kept his side of the bargain. In this case, owing her 10% on profits generated by deals she supposedly had the most influence over.

Her claims can be read in more exhaustive detail over Here and Here...

Since we don't know the whole story(from both sides of the equation), I'd rather wait until the verdict is in. Yet a recently outrageous remark from her spokesman seriously leaves her claim in jeopardy. As someone who's turned from the straight and narrow unto the almighty dollar.

"Location is a gated property. No one answered me on the intercom. Armed guards came to the gate and asked me to identify myself, which I did as a registered California process server. The guards then told me to 'get the freak(censored) outta here'!"-said Michael L. Smith.

Granted. It's possible Mr. Smith ran off to make this sensational claim(against her wishes). Yet this sounds far to common to a claim Julian apparently make a few months back. Making Making The Gloved One out to be Al Capone.

It appears some sort of falling out happened between the two as of late. Her contract with Mr.Jackson ended somewhere in 2007 and Dr. Tom Tom has replaced her as his new spokesman. She insists that the London gigs, Thriller 25, and Michael's various settlements were all due to her efforts and she wants her share of the 02 pie!

A hearing(which was originally scheduled for May 19th)will take place shortly. I'll keep you updated on the latest findings on this case to set the facts straight.

Official Behind The Scenes Look At The Michael Jackson Trial

Well folks!

It has just come to my attention that Mr. Jackson is planning to release an in-depth look into The Michael Jackson Trail from every angle possible.

From the crafty yet tongue-tied Arvizo family to Martin Bashir's cowering behind the California Shield(even Thomas Snedden's vicious vendetta), this new documentary contains shocking scenarios and never-before-scene footage on what really took place between those fateful 5 months during The Trial of The Century.

There will be exclusive interviews by Thomas Mesereau, Aphrodite Jones(the author of The Michael Jackson Conspiracy), Terry Lewis, and even his elder brother Jermaine Jackson among many other special guests! The set is due to go on sale(in DVD format) on July 6th-Just in time to kick off the concerts at the O2 Arena!

My thinking is that T.V. stations from around the world will want to purchase and air the documentary for all to see(very similar to what happened with a documentary during the trial). But we'll just have to wait and see-Won't we.

As to the fan-based documentary(released sometime just after being pronounced "Not Guilty)...A few scenes might be borrowed from that set yet in no way is it going to be a rehash of any kind.

This real life documentary will prove once and for all that Michael Jackson was indeed set up by various scoundrels all in it for the money!

[Unfortunately due to his unexpected tragic death,the documentary has been post-poned until further notice.

*Update*-The MJ Doco has just been released since August 11th!]

Did Michael Jackson Let His Fans Down?

Recently, it has come to my knowledge that a few that would open up a long string of concerts dubbed This Is It! have been reassigned new dates. Some not so bad(from July 8th to July 13th). While others won't get a chance to see their idol until early March(the 10th, 12th, and 14th have been driven back to March 1st, 3ed, and 6th. The reasons given are purely technical as opposed to health concerns.

Stage personnel just simply don't have enough time to prepare for what will become the most spectacular show ever witnessed! In order to make sure all 50 gigs get their monies worth, it was necessary to make these changes. Yet according to Phillips "no other dates will be affected by this drastic measure".

Kenny Ortega and Randy Phillips explain in a more down to Earth fashion over at Michael Jackson Live.

Fan Reactions On Rebookings

Many fans have spoken outrage at the sudden change of events. Feared rebooking fees for both travel and accommodations has left quite a few labeling AEG incompetent...

And I wouldn't blame them. They have every right to get angry. Not so much with AEG but more with the greed among the hotel and airline industries. I mean, how dare you charge a rebooking fee and tell me I need insurgence just to change my reservations! "Let's take em for every cent they got hiccup."

What gets me even more is how people just accept it as how it is. There's even been a case in Memphis where she has to pay for both a flight that's not gonna happen on top of another rescheduled booking. Obviously, that right there is thievery! If I were her, I would go to the BBB or better yet post it on Youtube and let there be a viral effect which'll get em where it hurts the most. That way they'll be forced to stop these ridiculous policies that only benefit their end-line.:)

In the meantime, I have some great news! The folks over at MJJC are will to help out in any way they can(by negotiating with flight and accomodations(for those who've previously made arrangements to not have to pay another cent). Just give them your...

Ed Alonzo Confirmed "This Is It!" Magician!

According to E! Online, Michael Jackson has a few tricks up his sleeve. Ed Alonso(a renown magician) has just confirmed aiding the pop star in the most anticipated comeback in history! It's not clear if he'll accompany the Gloved One throughout his 50 sold-out dates at the O2 Arena(formally known as the Millennium Dome). But according to Ed himself...

"I met with Michael Jackson a couple of days ago and am now officially creating magic and illusions for his concert," "I will not be performing in the show as I do with Britney. I'm just creating the magic that Michael has requested in his vision."

In the past, Michael has created a few subtle illusions while on tour. Sigfield and Roy have even helped him out behind the scenes during the Bad Album Tour. As a gesture of gratitude, Mr. Jackson recorded and submitted a track for their 1995 soundtrack album "Dreams And Illusions" called Mind Is The Magic.

This time around, Ed Alonzo will help spice-up the show with a reported two full routines!

"Michael has two routines in mind so far using magic elements that I am creating." "I have to show him a demo of the effects next week. Then the props are to be built and he will start rehearsals. I will teach him the effects and help in staging them."

Ed Alonzo is the man behind the 1989/90 premier of "Saved By The Bell". He has created illusionary stunts for various music artists and movie directors as well. Including Britteny Spear's Circus Tour.

The Man Behind This Is It!

Just a few days ago it was confirmed Kenny Ortega will be the man behind the most anticipated event of the year! From the delicate design of the stage and technological details to the spectacular lighting and special effects, Mr. Ortega vows to make this an unforgettable experience-Deemed to resurrect Michael Jackson back into the limelight!

Kenny Who?

Kenny Ortega is a choreographer who's worked on such films like "Dirty Dancing, Madonna's "Material Girl", ABC Family's "The Gilmore Girl's" and many more through the 80's and 90's. But most recently he's worked with Disney on producing firms for High School Musical" and "The Cheetah Girls".

Kenny Ortega was also behind the production of The Dangerous Tour and The History Tour. Yet there's nothing to worry about. The concert series will be totally fresh! Michael has just hired 10 brand new back-dancers. Besides, Randy Philips has just confirmed these concerts to be the most expensive of all time! Recently he's been quoted describing the 50 gigs as "dramatic shows [that] promise an explosive return with a band of the highest caliber, a state-of-the-art stage show and incredible surprise support acts" So lip-lynching and karyoking will not be involved(unless he or a band member are ill).

I can't wait to see him in action!

My Computer Has The Swine Flu:(

O.K. Not exactly...But as you may have noticed, I've been absent over the past week due to infectious redirect worms and bad DSL connections. I apologize if I haven't responded to any of your comments. Hopefully sometime this week I'll get back to providing you with more juicy tid-bits on the one and only Michael Jackson! So ta-ta for now!:)
