My thoughts on the MJ tribute at the Grammys

I have not been able to get Michael and his kids off my mind today. Ever since he died, I have had a feeling that Michael's children would wind up being his voice... and last night, Prince and Paris proved me right. It was amazing to see how much they have "grown up" in just 7 months. They are still so young, yet speak with the wisdom of the ages. Michael instilled this "world vision" in his three children, I know that for a fact. I also believe that "Blanket," who we will soon be calling Prince Michael, or perhaps Prince II, will also follow in his father's footsteps, spreading a message of LOVE and hope throughout the world. Last night, the song and tribute to MJ was "out of this world." Many of you have asked me what I thought about the Grammys tribute to Michael....

First of all, I felt it was long overdue. Second of all< I wished Michael could have been alive to have been there himself, in person, and third of all, I hope that when all is said and done, the naysayers will look at his talent and his incredible contribution to our universe. It is going to sound silly, perhaps, but I will tell you that, for me, as I watched the video and the song being performed, I felt Michaels' spirit... Perhaps most everyone did, I don't know. For me, as I listened and took it all in, it was almost as if Michael was there, in person, and at times, his voice boomed louder than those of some of the greatest singers who stood on stage, performing live.

I hope this tribute and the appearance of Prince and Paris will give some solace to all of Michael's fans. When the whole Grammy audience stood up, I realized that Michael's day as the King of Pop had been restored. Even if only for a moment, it seemed the whole world took notice of his greatness and his power. Now, if we could only focus on the love and the "Earth" messages Michael shared... we could all make this world a better place.
Thank you ALL, for caring about Michael, for loving him, in death, as much as you did in life!

To All MJ fans who have graciously offered to translate MJC:

To All MJ fans who have graciously offered to translate MJC:

First, I want to say that Micahel has the best best fans on the planet -- people who truly care about him who just want to tell the truth, without caring about payments, time constraints, or enormous amounts of work. The MJ fans who have reached out to me don't want anything other than fairness. This kind of loyalty is a testament to Micahels' love and his ability to reach out to hearts all over the world. I really appreciate the attempts by MJ fans and people who want the truth known -- who offer to translate MJC into their native languages all over the world. Just for the record, MJC is now being published in: Japan, China, Taiwan, France, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Canada, and Romania. However, legally, no single individual can translate my book, Michael Jackson Conspiracy. There must be written permission, and I cannot allow any translations to be written, even for personal use, without a foreign publishing company being involved. All translations of MJC must be approved through a foreign publisher who has a signed contract with myself and iUniverse. MJC is still under the control of iUniverse. I wish to thank those few brave people who want to spread the word of Michael's innocence.... I do appreciate the offers, and I know the time and labor that this type of project would involve. It's a wonderful offer that people are making, and believe me, I would love to see this book printed in places like Germany and Brazil, Spain, and Korea, and all of the countries on the Earth. Nonetheless, for the sake of legal issues, it's just not possible for my to give my permission, since iUniverse insists that any and all translations must be done via contract.

Thank you for caring,
and for loving Michael...

Evan Chandler, dad of boy who accused Michael Jackson of molestation, commits suicide in New Jersey

Evan Chandler's son accused King of Pop Michael Jackson of molesting him at Neverland Ranch.

The father of a boy who accused Michael Jackson of molestation in 1993 blew out his brains in his luxury New Jersey apartment, cops said Tuesday.

Evan Chandler, 65, whose son received a multimillion-dollar settlement from the King of Pop, was discovered in his 16th- floor waterfront pad in Jersey City with his gun still in his hand.

Chandler took his own life Nov. 5, Jersey City police spokesman Stan Eason said. The concierge of Chandler's building found the body.

"He [Chandler] was on his bed still holding the weapon with a single gunshot wound to the head," Eason said. "It's straightforward. Case closed. It's suicide."

I saw THIS IS IT again today ... Sunday, Nov 8th

I went to go see THIS IS IT again today, and while my spirits flew the first time I saw it, I cried a lot this time.  I just thought ... to see that talent ...stamped out ... it just broke my heart.  It was still an unbelievable experience, and very inspirational,  but my reaction was different.

I would like to hear your reactions after seeing THIS IS IT the second, third, fourth or more times.

I guess we are just going to have to universally grieve his loss together and then do the best we can to keep the gifts he gave us, alive.

The latest TMZ reports

I have been watching the recent TMZ reports with dismay. All I can do is remind people that TMZ is a "trash bin" where all dirty laundry gets thrown and rehashed. The idea of the TMZ show and website is to spread scandal. It is for this reason that a man who has such great respect and stature, such as Tom Mesereau, would probably never go on the show voluntarily. Sometimes, it is better to ignore wild claims and crazy accusations, because the more you protest, the more "real" it begins to seem in people's minds. I find that staying with the facts -- has always worked best for me. I try to be as straight and honest as I can when I report... and as an investigative crime author for over 20 years, that creed has never failed me. To all those who are upset with the recent "trash" being thrown up against the wall -- and bunch of garbage being thrown to see what will stick -- I say, let it go. What would Michael do? He would refuse to dignify this nonsense with any response at all. Michael Jackson has a film out that shows his genius in every possible form... but people don’t want to focus on that. As long as we continue to contemplate garbage, we perpetuate the cycle of trash that insults his genius and hurts his legacy.
