Oh my God.... U got me crying all over again... as crazy as I think Latoya is, I think she is telling the truth...

Michael suffered so much in life... ppl through he was lying about his skin... he had lupus with vitiligo(sp).. Lupus is a chronic auti-immune disorder which the body comes under attack from its own immune system. He suffered chronic pain, which explain the pain medicine addition... Vitiligo causes dispigmentation of the skin... He also had sores on his body, there are pictures of his discoloration.

They say sever child abuse can cause lupus as an adult.... He talk about the abuse of his father.... he say he scare... scare... scare of his father. He was not only beaten repeatedly, he experience mental and emotional abuse... he was call ugly... may fun of hi nose... etc.. all of the Jackson was abused.

Michael Jackson's Grim Fascination With Death, Odd 5-hour Vigil Over James Brown

Michael Daly
Sunday, June 28th 2009, 4:00 AM


The mortal remains of James Brown had just returned from New York when the funeral home in Georgia got a midnight request from Michael Jackson.

"He called and asked could he come by," remembered Charles Reid, proprietor of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home of Augusta.

Jackson arrived around 12:30 a.m. on this December day in 2007 and stayed for nearly five hours. He began by walking into the chapel. He strode directly up to the gold-plated coffin newly back from lying in state up at the Apollo Theater. The lid was raised and Brown lay in a bed of cream-colored satin.

"He leaned over and kissed him on the forehead," Reid said.

The skin would have been cold under his lips, but Jackson did not recoil. He reached down to adjust Brown's hair so a lock hung down, as in so many photos.

"He just kind of twisted it around," Reid recalled.

Jackson had been a child of no more than 6 when his mother would wake him up to see Brown perform on TV. Jackson had sat mesmerized as he watched Brown move like nobody else. He decided that was what he himself would do and not long afterward he was doing it.

Now, after all that happened, both good and bad, after triumphs and twists, stardom and scorn, excellence and excess, the King of Pop gazed down at the Godfather of Soul in his coffin.

"He stood there, I guess, an hour or so just looking," Reid said.

Jackson spoke of his love for Brown.

"How important Mr. Brown was to him," Reid remembered. "What an inspiration he was."

Reid was surprised when Jackson began asking about the preparation of the remains, questions such as people seldom pose.

"How it was done," Reid said. "What do you actually do? The types of fluids that you use. He wanted to know how long the preparation would last."

Jackson had become a self-proclaimed resident of Neverland, yet he showed uncommon ease with what even manifestly mature adults have trouble facing.

"Most people shy away when it comes to death," Reid said. "They would be trying to head the opposite way. It was amazing to me he would talk about it the way he was. It's just out of the ordinary."

And Jackson was clearly not asking just to ask.

"He wouldn't ask a question unless he thought about it," Reid said. "That's how precise he was. Whatever he asked he was very interested in."

That included how the body was made ready for viewing.

"Do we freshen it up? Were we going to change his outfits?" Reid recalled. "He wanted to know had his hair been done, how that was done."

Jackson also inquired about the coffin and how it was chosen.

"He wanted to go into our casket room," Reid said.

Reid showed him various models. Jackson did not say so, but Reid could not help feeling that the star was contemplating his own demise, studying Brown in death as intently as he had in life.

"He asked who requested the gold-plated casket," Reid said. "I said, 'Well, it's the family's decision.' He asked if that's something Mr. Brown wanted. I said, 'Entertainers, they always say solid gold.'"

Jackson laughed and they returned to the chapel. Reid noted that Jackson had a scarf over his hair, but otherwise wore only a plain shirt and pair of pants.

"No outfit or anything," Reid said.

Jackson did have bodyguards, and he asked them to take photos of him next to the coffin. He was still there as dawn neared.

"He never sat down," Reid said. "He stood up the whole time."

Nearly five hours after he arrived, Jackson moved to leave. The memorial for Brown was held later that day and Jackson spoke, telling of his mother rousing him as a child to watch "the master at work" on TV.

"Right then and there, I knew that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life," Jackson said.

Now that life has been sped to an early end by off-stage demons. Reid recalled on Friday a visitor two years ago who came after midnight to mourn the master at rest and study death as if it were a last performance.

"He turned around to look again as he was going out the door," Reid said.

WOW!!!!!!!! that is something else. Do you think that He was preparing himself? or that he knew that he was going to die. YOu know how people know that they are going to leave this earth soon and they start preparing the family, picking out clothing etc. Could it be that Mike has some feeling that He was leaving this earth.

Didn't mean to anointedtoteach....so you listen to the song? and on top of that the song he wrote "Gone to soon" he wrote that song for the young boy who had cancer and then it was song at his own funernal. I believe this same young man was suppose to testifly against him the second time Mike was accursed of child molestation.

Michael wrote “Gone Too Soon” for Ryan White, the boy who was shunned by his school and community after he contracted HIV from a blood transfusion back in the mid 80’s. Ryan died in '90.

No I don't think it was that young man it was the one who had cancer and he brought a lot medcine for him because it was said by the mother that they didn't have the money for his treatments. Gone to Soon is on his Dangerous Album 1991 so that would be about right. And if the young man that your talking about with HIV that would be the right time. I do know that he also was helping a young boy who had cancer as well.

Hey Guys,
I'm still reeling from the fact that Michael Jackson is gone.... but I have taking the time to stop and say this to myself... Gosh this individual sure did have a LOT of hits... I have been watching his videos again. It is has been suggested that post humusly he will be the top selling artist of 2009...

But as the clips of him over the years I think Wow! This man was excellent in his work and his art and his career. He really is entertainer of century! Let me focus on being that successful in my life... Let me be that successful in my walk... Let me be a excellent nurse...

And his music will live on and inspire generations to come... it already has! Just check out this remix of smooth criminal by a dj called Arman Deluxe on thisisthedeluxe.com Guys I have been listening to this every morning and it has gotten my blood and juicies flowing...

Kitty, I agree with you concerning Mike's way of inspiring you to reach for your dreams. Yeah, we know he was a secular artist, but it was just something about the way he performed that made you feel that anything was possible.

[anointedteacher]

I don't listen to secular music, so I don't have any of Mike records... I just had a love for him, because he seem to be such a sweet person.

Did anybody see the Pepis commericial, when his hair caught on fire? I saw it from the front 25 year ago and it didn't look so bad. But the new taping show from the back and it was horrible. He didn't even know he was on fire and kept on dance till he spinned... The top of his head was clean and he had have several surgeries... PPL are begnning to understand Mike more after his death, than when he was living.

Michael Jackson's Funeral: Paris Weeps, Macaulay, Liz Taylor, Chris Tucker, Corey Feldman All Mourn

www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/04/michael-jacksons-funeral-_0_n_277207.html


GLENDALE, Calif. — The massive marble and concrete Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park was slightly accessible by the public before Michael Jackson was entombed somewhere in its maze of floors and hallways.

Tell the entrance guard you were there to see the "Last Supper" stained-glass window show, and you were allowed to roam a portion of the catacombs for about 10 minutes before anyone hassled you.

But those open sections are only a fraction of the sprawling building that rises many stories and plunges deep underground.

So wherein lies the King of Pop in the monolith? That may be a secret for the ages.

On Friday, a tourist family asked a guard whether the superstar's tomb was private. The guard said it was.

"Private ... forever?" one of them asked.

"Private forever." he said.

No fans, no paparazzi, and so far no one trying too hard to steal a glimpse of the vault containing Jackson's golden casket.

Story continues below

The exact location may forever remain unknown to all but a select few: A guest who attended the Jackson ceremony told The Associated Press the casket had not been put into the vault by the time mourners left.

The guest spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the day.

Under Friday's hot midday sun, a woman with a camera was denied entry to the mausoleum. Guards shooed away a radio reporter who tried to go inside then began interviewing people outside.

The funeral began Thursday night nearly two hours after its scheduled 7 p.m. time. Some 200 mourners, including 77-year-old Elizabeth Taylor and other celebrities associated with Jackson, showed up promptly, only to wait at the outdoor seating area, under a withering late-summer sun that pushed temperatures to 90 degrees even as it was going down.

The ceremony began with remarks and song after the family arrived to fill the front five rows of white folding chairs.

Mourners then followed Jackson's brothers as they carried the casket into the mausoleum. The singer's daughter, 11-year-old Paris, cried and was comforted by her aunt, LaToya.

Paris and brothers Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II, 7, known as Blanket, began the service by placing a bejeweled crown on their father's casket. They were composed through most of the 90-minute ceremony, the guest said.

Once inside, Gladys Knight performed the hymn "Our Father" (The Lord's Prayer) and moved many to tears, according to the guest. When it was over, many of the 200 mourners hugged each other. Among them were Taylor, Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, Barry Bonds and Macaulay Culkin.

As it ended, Katherine Jackson appeared extremely weary and had to be helped to her car, according to the guest. Earlier, she had a difficult time going into the mausoleum; she was overcome and turned back, making it unclear if she went in at all, the guest said.

More than 400 media credentials were issued to reporters and film crews who were kept behind barricades. The few clusters of fans who gathered around the secure perimeter encircling the cemetery entrance struggled to see.

Glendale police said all went smoothly and there were no arrests.

Jackson will share eternity at Forest Lawn with the likes of Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and W.C. Fields, entombed alongside them in the Great Mausoleum. The level of security and secrecy about the location of Jackson's vault all but guaranteed it won't be turned into a shrine or tourist stop.

The entombment also ends months of speculation that the singer's body would be buried at Neverland Ranch, in part to make the property a Graceland-style attraction.

The King of Pop died a drug-induced death June 25 at age 50 as he was about to embark on a comeback attempt. The coroner's office has labeled the death a homicide, and Jackson's death certificate lists "injection by another" as the cause.

Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician, told detectives he gave the singer a series of sedatives and the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him sleep. Prosecutors are still investigating, and no charges have been filed.

I guess since MJ loved James Brown so much, they wanted to delay burying him for weeks just like James. I hope and pray that Mike is finally at peace.
