Michael Jackson’s Secret Lover Revealed
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard Matt Fiddes tells of Jackson’s secret lover and drugs; and Diana Ross is the Jackson daddy reincarnated…
Sky: “Drugs Hell And Secret Love Of Michael Jackson”
Michael Jackson had a long-standing secret girlfriend and died from drugs supplied by unscrupulous doctors, his bodyguard has told sky news.
Girlfriend. So Matt, having introduced the secret lover, who is she?
“I’m not going to name who she is but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with.”
Thanks for sharing it with us, Matt.
“I don’t know how long they’ve been a couple. I know she’s been with him for some time in different capacities but… it’s up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information.”
Don’t worry, Matt, we’ll keep schtum. This is just between us. Anything else?
“I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri [Geller] did too.”
Drugs found at popstars home! Who would have thought it?
“The doctor had such an influence over Michael that we felt our efforts were falling on deaf ears.”
Well, he is the doctor. You are the bodyguard. And Geller is the man who can bend spoons. Jackson might have been of sound mind after all?
“As far as I’m concerned they have Michael’s blood on their hands, they know what they’ve done and there’s people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn’t for financial reasons.“

Michael Jackson’s Last Will In Full
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Jackson’s last will in full…
MICHAEL Jackson’s will, made on July 7, 2002, hands his entire estate to the Michael Jackson Family Trust for his children. It also names his mother Katherine Jackson as the children’s guardian.
Should she not be able to care for them, the children should be cared for by Diana Ross.
His estate is said to be worth $500 million. And there is no mention made of Jackson’s former wife Debbie Rowe or his father Joe Jackson.
Jackson’s estate is made up of “non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalogue of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities”.
In a statement, co-executors of the will Mr John Branca and Mr John McClain said:
“The most important element of Michael’s will is his unwavering desire that his mother, Katherine, become the legal guardian for his three children. As we work to carry out Michael’s instructions to safeguard both the future of his children as well as the remarkable legacy he left us as an artist we ask that all matters involving his estate be handled with the dignity and the respect that Michael and his family deserve.”

Elton John Outsells Michael Jackson
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Anorak brings you that OK! magazine souvenir issue…
OK!’s “official” tribute issue to Michael Jackson should not be confused with those downmarket unofficial tribute issues that fail to feature a picture of the dying signer on their cover.
Only OK! cares enough to equip a picture of a dying man with the legend “IN LOVING MEMORY”.

Michael Jackson’s Nurse Denies Stomach Pump Claims
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Grace Rwaramba denies – It seems that even Jackson’s nurse has her own impersonator:
Grace Rwaramba, 42, told the Sunday Times: “I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it.
“There was one period that it was so bad that I didn’t let the children see him … He always ate too little and mixed too much.”
A few days on and…
“I am shocked, hurt and deeply saddened by recent statements the press has attributed to me, in particular, the outrageous and patently false claim that I ‘routinely pumped his stomach after he had ingested a dangerous combination of drugs’” she says. “I don’t even know how to pump a stomach!!”

Michael Jackson’s Last Word Was “Bubbles”
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Jackson’s last word for Bubbles, whoop of joy and a shroud and propofol found in Jackson’s home…
Daily Mirror: “’CAN YOU FEEL IT’”
Michael Jackson whooped with joy as he rehearsed on stage for his comeback tour. Thrusting his arm in the air after one of his trademark twirls, he cried: “I feel so alive – can you feel it?”
Well, that’s lyrics and dancing for you. He was also heard to shout “Thiller-errrrrr!”, “Don’t stop til you get enough!” and “Oo!”
The superstar, who died of a heart attack just hours later, told photographer pal Kevin Mazur: “This is where I belong. Why oh why have I left it so long?”
Anyone feel a Kevin Mazur book coming on?
Kevin watched spellbound as Jacko performed his entire set for an hour and a half until nearly midnight. He sang 12 songs, stopping only briefly to wipe his brow with a white towel strategically placed at the side of the stage.
Even the towel is poignant. Who placed it? Why was it white? Has it been since?

Pete Doherty’s Michael Jackson Tribute Tracks
WHAT odds that Peter Doherty would take less drugs than Michael Jackson?
The Star brings news that Doherty continues to live (or not?) and has had a new anti-heroin implant fitted so he “didn’t go off the rails at Glastonbury”.
Drugs do different things to different people. The narrative says that drugs may have helped Jackson attain the peak of all-singing, all-dancing powers, whereas drugs seemingly enable Doherty to remain a celebrity and tour courtrooms.

OK! Pays $500,000 For Picture Of Dying Michael Jackson
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: OK! pays $500,000 for picture of a dying Michael Jackson. Look out for Jackson mouthing the words “Princess Diana” as he fades away.
OK! magazine has paid $500,000 to feature the image of a dying Michael Jackson on its cover.
Media Week has more:
Sarah Ivens, OK!’s editorial director, said she thought the photo of the dying Jackson would differentiate the title from the rash of tribute-style covers that have begun hitting newsstands this week.
“It’s a photo that captures the surprise and the upset and the moment of this breaking news story,” Ivens said. “I hope the cover will provoke readers. It celebrated the man, but it also does expose that he was an eccentric character who lived a very controversial life.”

Michael Jackson’s Son Prince Michael II ‘Fathered’ By Al Malnik
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Jackson’s drug habit, foul play in death and Al Malnik is the Jackson daddy…
The Sun: “Full of life, just 2 days from death”
Lyndsey Haywood says:
HE looks in incredible form strutting his stuff on stage — but two days later Michael Jackson was dead.
You can tell a lot from a stylised picture. But if the picure lies, then the words back up the notion that Jackson was on top form:
A source who watched Jacko’s final rehearsal in LA said: “Michael was in better form than for years. He was preparing for what would have been an absolutely incredible show. He was laughing and joking with his dancers. He seemed to have so much energy — it’s hard to believe that 48 hours later he was dead.”
The show will go on! But what’s Jackson’s secret?
The Sun: “Jacko blew £30k a month on drugs”
DESPERATE Michael Jackson was spending £30,000 a month on prescription drugs, it was reported yesterday.
The ailing Thriller star was said to have consumed “mountains of medication” as he battled numerous disorders in the year leading up to his death.
