Beiträge von MJ - L.O.V.E.

    Dr. Conrad Murray's attorney Ed Chernoff told the jury Michael Jackson caused his own death.


    * Chernoff says the evidence will show MJ swallowed 8, 2 mg pills of Lorazepam.
    * And Chernoff says MJ self-injected a dose or Propofol that created a "perfect storm" that killed him.
    * There was no way to save MJ. He died instantly.
    ... * Chernoff told the jury what TMZ has reported for the last year -- that the centerpiece of the defense case is that Michael's death is on Michael -- not Dr. Murray.
    * Chernoff also said MJ "had a problem" that no amount of determination could overcome, even with his talent, and without help he could not do the "This Is It" tour -- a tour that would score him more money than he had ever made on tour before.
    * So, Chernoff says, Michael went doctor shopping.
    * Dr. Murray is not a "celebrity doctor" -- he's a cardiologist who saves lives.
    * The defense will put some of Dr. Murray's patients on the stand to show his level of care. He would buy prescriptions for people who couldn't afford it and would generally go well above the standard of care expected of a doctor -- which contradicts prosecutors who call him greedy and reckless. Murray seemed to tear up as he listened to Chernoff.
    * Murray treated MJ for several problems, including toe fungus and a broken foot.
    * Chernoff said Murray had no idea at the time that MJ had a much deeper problem
    * MJ didn't have insomnia -- he had "an absolute, total and thorough inability to sleep."
    * When Murray met with detectives 2 days after MJ's death, he thoroughly answered every question. It was no holds barred and they hid nothing. Chernoff said Murray told cops, "I don't know what killed Michael Jackson. I want to know also."
    * Michael Jackson told Murray the only way he could sleep was with Propofol and he always took Propofol. MJ told Murray exactly how it was to be administered. He even had a nickname for the drug -- milk. MJ knew Lidocaine was essential in administering Propofol to prevent a burning sensation.
    * MJ told Murray he would use Propofol with or without Murray, so Murray then agreed to provide Propofol.
    * Dr. Murray provided Propofol for 2 months for MJ, and during that time the singer slept, woke up, and lived his life -- suggesting it wasn't negligent to administer the drug.
    * The evidence is going to show is that Michael Jackson died when Dr. Murray stopped. Murray told cops he believed his role was to find a way to help MJ sleep normally, urging him to get off Propofol.
    * In other words, Murray was trying to ween MJ off Propofol and give him other, more traditional sedatives. And, on June 22, 3 days before MJ died, Michael agreed to let Murray to try to get him off Propofol. And on that day Murray gave MJ half the Propofol he had been giving him. And it worked. MJ slept.
    * On June 23, Murray gave MJ NO Propofol at all, giving him other drugs instead. And, on the day MJ died, the plan was not to give Propofol. It was to go to other sedatives. That's why in the recording,MJ pleads for the Propofol. That's why Murray gave him other drugs instead during the night.
    * Chernoff says MJ had certain "personality traits." He kept various people in life separate from one another.
    * Chernoff will present an addiction specialist, who will testify DR. ARNOLD KLEIN ADDICTED MICHAEL JACKSON TO DEMEROL.
    * Things were so serious 5 days before Michael Jackson died, reps from AEG and others had a meeting at MJ's house and talked about "pulling the plug" on the tour. And subsequently MJ made it clear to Murray -- he needed to sleep or the tour would go down in flames.
    * Chernoff insists Murray only gave MJ 25 milligrams of Propofol just before MJ died -- and that is not enough to kill him. Chernoff says MJ went to sleep, and Murray checked his pulse -- which was good.
    Murray then sat and watched and left the room "only when I felt comfortable." This may be the key to the case -- did Murray abandon MJ by leaving the room?
    * Chernoff says when Murray left the room "there was zero Propofol in his [Michael's] system." Of course, what Chernoff is arguing is that Michael then shot himself up with the fatal dose.
    * Chernoff came back from break the defense will show the amounts that Dr. Murray's death could not cause Michael's death.
    * The science will prove there had to be more Propofol delivered to MJ's system after Dr. Murray left the room.
    *The defense says MJ's stomach content had 4 times the amount of Lorazepam than in his blood, which means Michael would had to swallow the drug himself, after Murray left the room.

    Prosecutor David Walgren delivered an opening statement, using a graphic of what appears to be Michael Jackson‘s body on a gurney.


    * Michael Jackson trusted his life to the medical skills of Dr. Murray and it was “misplaced trust”
    * The cause of death was an overdose of Propofol, administered by Dr. Murray
    * We will prove Conrad Murray repeatedly acted with gross negligence and incompetence
    ... * Walgren explained that Murray would obtain $150,000 a month, not the $5 million Murray demanded for the duration of the “This is It” tour.
    * Murray made arrangements with a pharmacy to purchase very large quantities of Propofol on a regular basis
    * Murray lied to the pharmacist by saying he had a clinic in Santa Monica when he did not
    * On May 10, 2009, Murray made a voice recording on his iPhone … the recording documents MJ highly under the influence of “unknown agents” with Murray sitting there. It shows Murray knew Michael’s state and what he was doing to the singer
    * In the weeks before MJ died, he was cold, shivering, rambling but Murray kept giving him Propofol, and Kenny Ortega will testify MJ was clearly not well
    * A meeting was held at Michael’s house on June 20, 2009, MJ died, with Kenny Ortega, Murray, Michael Jackson and Frank DiLeo. Murray scolded Ortega for expressing concerns about his health, saying he was the doctor, adding, “Michael is physically and emotionally fine. I am the doctor.”
    * On the day MJ died, at 1 AM, MJ came home from rehearsal and Murray spent the night at the house — as he did every night for the prior 2 1/2 months — for the purpose of putting him to sleep with Propofol.
    * Walgren that Michael died in his bed — that he was clinically dead when paramedics arrived.
    * Murray was texting and making phone calls while he sat by MJ. He made 8 phone calls, the last at 11:51 to a girlfriend, and that’s when Murray realized there was an emergency.
    * Murray calls bodyguard Alberto Alvarez and says Michael Jackson had a “bad reaction.”
    * Murray instructs Alvarez to essentially hide the evidence in a blue bag … putting, among other things, the Propofol bottle that was hanging on the IV stand — Walgren is implying that’s the bottle that had the fatal dose
    * 911 was called at 12:20. And, Walgren says, when paramedics arrived, MJ was dead
    * Murray never told the EMTs he gave MJ Propofol, even though they asked what drugs Murray had administered
    * Paramedics pronounced MJ dead, but Murray insisted he be transported to UCLA
    * UCLA doctors asked Murray what drugs had he given MJ, but Murray never mentioned Propofol
    * Two days after MJ’s death, Murray met with LAPD detectives, and disclosed he was giving MJ nightly doses of Propofol everyday for more than 2 months to put him to sleep. This is the first time Murray fessed up.
    * MJ told Murray at around 5 AM that he needed to sleep and they agreed Propofol was the answer. Murray said he gave MJ 25 milligrams of Propofol, but that would only put him to sleep for minutes. Prosecutors say much more Propofol was administered.
    * Murray explained to cops he went to the bathroom to urinate, came back 2 minutes later to discover MJ wasn’t breathing. Prosecutors says that is called “ABANDONMENT,” leaving a patient unattended is medical abandonment.
    * The prosecutor says Murray was on the phone for 45 minutes after giving MJ Propofol
    * Conrad Murray acted with gross negligence and was not acting in MJ’s best interests … he was working for $150,000 a month.

    Das ganze macht mich unwahrscheinlich traurig. :heulsuse


    Mir ging die ganze Nacht weder Michaels Stimme noch das Bild aus dem Kopf. Boah was werden die uns noch alles zeigen? Und wie ergeht es den Kindern damit? Die tun mir echt total leid. :sad


    Aber es zeigt wieder einmal Geld regiert die Welt und der einzelne Mensch ist nichts wert. :sad
    Wie Joe bereits unmittelbar nach Michael´s Tod schon sagte: "Tot ist er mehr wert, als lebendig." Diesen Satz fand ich damals unwahrscheinlich abstoßend, aber passend zu Joe. Aber mittlerweile glaube ich, dass er Recht hatte. Vermutlich profitieren alle jetzt mehr, als wenn er seine Shows angefangen hätte und sie abbrechen hätte müssen. 50 Shows hätte er nie im Leben durchgestanden. Einen Zusammenbruch und damit verbundenen Abbruch hätte Michael sowieso nicht verkraftet.


    Ich bin wirklich sehr gespannt, was da noch alles kommen wird.
    Bei KO bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob er die ganze Wahrheit sagt.


    Walgreen fand ich super. :respekt


    Wobei mir der Chernoff viel besser gefallen hat. :P
    Ehrlich gesagt, ich möchte ihn ganz bestimmt nicht als Anwalt, so wie er sich bisher präsentierte.


    Boah mir wird schon übel, wenn ich das Gesicht von CM sehe. Zieht der eine Flappe. Der kommt mir manchmal wie eine beleidigte Leberwurst vor, oh und dann auch noch weinen. Wegen was weint er denn? Evtl. wegen seiner eigenen Dummheit? Weil er 150.000 USD mtl. abgelehnt hat, weil Mr. Großkotz jährlich 5 Mio USD einsacken wollte. Und jetzt hat er nichts mehr.


    Was mich aber derzeit interessieren würde, woher kommt das Geld für sein Banner?


    <a href="http://twitpic.com/6rqgmi" title="So it seems Conrad Murray Supporters are flying Airplane bann... on Twitpic"><img src="http://twitpic.com/show/thumb/6rqgmi.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="So it seems Conrad Murray Supporters are flying Airplane bann... on Twitpic"></a>

    Ganz ehrlich, ich finde es viel zu früh, Michael´s Kinder jetzt schon auf solche Verstaltungen zu schicken.
    Auch wenn es ein Bambi Tribute ist. Zum 15-jährigen Jubiläum hätte es auch gereicht. :grr


    Selbst wenn es heißt, Prince wollte das so. Aber wieviele Kinder in dem Alter haben absolut unrealistische Wünsche. Ausserdem kann man Kindern auch einsuggerieren, was sie wollen würden. :kotz


    Hat denn die Familie nichts aus der Vergangenheit gelernt?
    Reicht es denn nicht, dass Katherine und Joe ihren eigenen Kindern die Kindheit geraubt haben?
    Müssen jetzt Michaels Kinder verheizt werden um weiterhin im Geld schwimmen zu können?
    Ist das wirklich in Michaels Sinne? - Ich glaube nicht. :sad
    Kann zu einer solchen Veranstaltung nicht eines der Geschwister von Michael erscheinen? Profilierungsneurotisch sind ja die meisten.


    Er hat seinen Auftritt souverän absolviert, aber das hat nichts mehr mit Kindheit zu tun. :sad


    Das Buch der Großmutter zu promoten? :anfall Ja wo sind wir denn? Diese arme am Hungertuch nagende Familie! Wir sollten echt alle sammeln für diese arme Familie. :depri

    Music Industry Veteran Frank Dileo, Dead at 63


    Longtime music industry veteran Frank Dileo, who managed Michael Jackson for much of his ’80s heyday and again during the last months of Jackson's life, died at his home in eastern Ohio at age 63, after a long illness. We just heard the news from a family friend, who said she thinks Dileo passed this morning, though the exact time hasn't been verified.


    Dileo was the subject of a November 2007 Scene cover piece outlining his storied career. And we mean storied. He worked his way up from the bottom of the music industry to become one of the most powerful men in the biz. During his tenure at Epic Records, he was instrumental in signing or developing the careers of Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon, Quiet Riot, The Clash and of course Jackson. Dileo lived in Nashville briefly in the ’70s and then moved here in January 2007 to start a management business, though he spent much of the last three years in Los Angeles after returning as Jackson's manager, and then handling issues with the late pop singer's estate.


    His larger-than-life persona landed him a couple of movie roles, most famously as Tuddy Cicero in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Not only did he play the brother to Mafia boss Paulie Cicero, but he was responsible for one of the most legendary mob hits in cinema history, putting a bullet in the back of Joe Pesci's head in the film's climactic scene.

    Es stellt sich mir aber auch die Frage, wie kann Kiss auf einem Tribute Konzert zu Ehren von Michael auftreten, wenn Gene Simmons so über Michael denkt. Also das versteh ich ja gleich noch weniger.

    Das stimmt schon, dass Katherine das Konzert nicht veranstaltet, aber sie kann sich als sog. Werbefigur verweigern!!!


    Ausserdem als liebende Mutter, weiß ich ganz genau, wer was über meine Kinder sagt - im positiven und im negativen.
    Bei dieser Aussage gings ja damals nicht darum, dass Gene Simmons sich beispielsweise über die Farbe von Michaels Schuhen aufgeregt hat. Da ging es wohl um etwas weit gravierenderes.


    Es stellt sich mir schon die Frage, was die Gute überhaupt auf die Reihe kriegt.

    Michael Jackson's mom has personally reached out to some of the biggest music stars in the world in the hopes of getting them to perform at the big MJ tribute show in October ... but only ONE of them is a definite YES ... TMZ has learned.


    Sources connected to the concert tell us ... Jay-Z, Kanye West, Cee Lo, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Usher and Bruno Mars have each received an invitation (pictured above) from Katherine Jackson ... asking them to perform 1 or 2 of their favorite MJ songs in Cardiff, Wales on Oct. 8.


    Katherine promises each star who signs on will be provided with "first class travel accommodations."


    We're told Chris Brown, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars have each respectfully declined the invite due to scheduling conflicts ... however, Christina and Kanye are leaning towards "Yes."


    As for the one person who's already signed on the dotted line -- sources tell us Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley was quick to commit.


    Tickets to the event have not gone on sale yet -- but promoters say they will become available once a complete line-up is booked.

    LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A tribute concert for Michael Jackson scheduled for fall in Wales appears to be in trouble.



    Tickets for the show were supposed to go on sale Thursday but have now been suspended.
    A link on the promoter's website tells fans to "standby for further announcements."
    Promoters had promised the concert would feature some of the most prominent performers in the world. So far though, no acts have been announced.
    There are also reports of squabbling among the Jackson family.


    The show is supposed to take place Oct. 8.
