Michael Jackson Was Enraged After Madonna Snubbed a Child Fan

Today's Michael Jackson News Story comes to us from www.contactmusic.com .It reports that After a few dates with Madonna he didnt like her true colors and so began the disconnect. You can read the whole story below.


MICHAEL JACKSON's romance with MADONNA failed after she snubbed a starstruck child who approached the pop stars during a date.
 

The King of Pop befriended the singer in the early 1990s and they stepped out together a number of times, but Jackson told his close friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach their relationship became tense after Madonna once rudely ignored a young fan.


Jackson told Boteach in a taped conversation, "Madonna laid the law down to me before we went out, (saying) 'I am not going to Disneyland, OK? That's out.' I said, 'I didn't ask to go to Disneyland.' She said, 'We are going to the restaurant. And afterwards, we are going to a strip bar.'


"I said, 'I am not going to a strip bar, where they cross dress. Guys who are girls... I am not going there. If that's how it is, forget this whole thing.' Afterwards, she wrote some mean things about me in the press. And I wrote that she is a nasty witch, after I was so kind to her...


"We were at the table eating, and some little (kid) came up, (saying) 'Oh my god, Michael Jackson and Madonna!' She goes, 'Get out of here. Leave us alone.' I said, 'Don't you ever talk to children like this.' She said, 'Shut up.' I said, 'You shut up.' Yes, that's what I said. Then we went out again and went to the Academy Awards and she is not a nice person."

Michael Jackson's This Is It' Ticket Sales Break International Records














In todays Michael Jackson  News Story MTV reports the new Documentary has sold out hundreds of screenings across U.S. a month before its release.

MTV reports that Even in death, Michael Jackson continues to be a guaranteed superstar. Just as the initial run of his planned concerts at the O2 arena in London sold out almost instantly earlier this year, the posthumous documentary about the King of Pop's preparations for that residency, "Michael Jackson's This Is It," has broken advance ticket sales records for a movie.

According to Reuters, hundreds of screenings in North America have already sold out, a month before the film's October 28 opening.

Among the cities with the strongest sales are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York. Records were also set in Japan, where more than $1 million in tickets were sold on the first day they were available. In London, fans bought more than 30,000 tickets on the first day, eclipsing the advance interest in the "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" films, which were wildly popular in Britain. Record sales were also reported in Holland, Sweden, Belgium and New Zealand.

The documentary will have a limited two-week run, which might explain the rush on tickets. On Sunday, all 3,000 spots for a Los Angeles advance screening of "This Is It" on October 27 sold out within two hours.

The film follows Jackson as he rehearsed and prepared for a 50-date run of concerts, which were scheduled to begin in London just weeks after his death on June 25. Sony Pictures Entertainment paid $60 million for the more than 100 hours of hi-def rehearsal footage.

The film, which was directed by Kenny Ortega, will feature behind-the-scenes footage as well as Jackson and his band and dancers rehearsing for the tour.

Last week, it was confirmed that a two-disc album featuring a new song, "This Is It," will be released on October 27 to coincide with the movie's theatrical release. The new single drops on October 12.

Thanks MTV for another amazing Michael Jackson News Story. 


The measure of a true legend is the impact he has on the world after his death, Michael Jackson is setting the bar for just such popularity. Its great to see the whole world realizing just how popular he really was, maybe this will ensure he is remembered for such positive things rather than the negative ones that haunted him through life.

On October 12th, the first new Michael Jackson song to emerge since the world mourned the loss of this musical icon will be released – a brand new single entitled "This Is It." Soon after, Sony Music Entertainment's Columbia/Epic Label Group will release the two-disc album This Is It featuring the music that inspired Sony Pictures' forthcoming film MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT.



This two-disc album will be available internationally on October 26th and North America on October 27th to coincide with the worldwide release of the motion picture which arrives in theaters on October 28th and runs for a limited two-week engagement.



"This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows - that Michael is one of God's greatest gifts," comments John McClain, co-producer of the album.

Disc one will feature the original album masters of some of Michael's biggest hits arranged in the same sequence as they appear in the film.

The motion picture MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT will offer Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this summer in London's O2 Arena.

Chronicling the months from April through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show.

Michael Jackson's 'love child' to play him in a film

Todays bit of Michael Jackson News comes to us from the famous UK news site The Telegraph. It Seems that The King Of Pop's alleged 4th child Omer Bhatti , will play him in a film about Jackson's rise to fame during the 1980s


Omer Bhatti, who bears a striking resemblance to the King of Pop, has worked as a Michael Jackson impersonator in the past.

I have seen some videos of him and although no one comes close to the real MJ he does do a good job.

The dancer, whose family now live in Norway, was seen pictured sitting in the front row of Jackson's memorial service beside his sister Rebbie.



That only added to the speculation of whether or not he was another child of The King Of Pop.

According to The Sun, a source told the newspaper: "Michael's story from childhood to the height of success is nothing short of astounding.

"It needs to be told and that's what his family want.

"The family feel fans would love to see a dramatic retelling.

"They want to cover his childhood and family life but focus on when his career went into overdrive.

"The family is close to Omer, as Michael was. He is a fantastic performer and they would like him to play the adult Michael."


Bhatti has reportedly been staying with the Jackson's since the King of Pop's death in June.

It is believed he is seeking a DNA test.

The film will concentrate on the success of Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad, but will not cover the child abuse allegations.

Shooting is expected to start next year.

I hope you enjoyed the latest Michael Jackson News Story. ...read more ⇒

Katherine Jackson Can Challenge Estate Administrators

TMZ once again brings us some great Michael Jackson News, it seems that the probate judge in the Michael Jackson estate case has ruled Katherine Jackson can challenge the special administrators and not forfeit her position as a beneficiary in Michael's will.



As a result of the ruling, Katherine can now safely challenge special administrators John Branca and John McClain without jeopardizing her position in the will -- she's set to get 40% of the net value of the estate.

The will has a "no contest" clause -- which means any beneficiary who contests the will gets aced out of inheriting anything. But the court has now ruled challenging the special administrators is not a "contest" of the will itself.

Interestingly, the court specifically ruled .... Katherine objecting to the special administrators on grounds there was some sort of "undue influence" imposed on M.J. is not a "contest" under the will.

Thanks again to TMZ for this new Michael Jackson News Story.

Now what does this mean for the future of the Michael Jackson estate?
With so many stories emerging about what Michael's relationship with his mom was or was not , there is no way of knowing how this will affect the future of his kids.

We can only hope she will do the right thing and make sure his kids are well taken care of like her son always wanted.

Janet Jackson VMA Performance

Well after weeks of anticipation finally we got to see the tribute MTV has been planning for the man who made them what they are today. The show started with some great dancers performing Michael Jackson's famous moves from Thriller, Bad and Smooth Criminal. They did a great jobs dancing with the original music videos playing in the background.
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for Janet Jackson's VMA Performance , as you heard Scream playing in the background, you knew what was coming next. Janet Jackson smashed out through the shattering door and started to dance like only a true Jackson Can.




The crowd was on its feet enjoying every moment and every dance move, you can see some of Michael Jackson in his sister that's for sure. I'll tell you one thing that girl has not lost a step after all these years , if i was to pick anyone to give tribute to Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson would be my first choice.




As the video played in the background, she sang and mimicked every move her brother did behind her, it was a truly beautiful and touching experience.
Too bad it was so short i was hoping to see her sing one of his songs like Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel or You Rock My world.

 As the song ended Janet looked up towards the heavens at her brother with a look that says "I love you i hope i made you proud big brother".
That final moment made Janet Jackson's VMA Performance very genuine and touching , im sure somewhere up there Michael Jackson id very proud of his little sister.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson , you will be greatly missed!


Thanks to Wire Image for the photos.

MJ's Kids Watch Private Screening of 'Captain EO'

According to TMZ one of the best sites for Michael Jackson News, Sources say Michael Jr., Paris and Prince were taken to the happiest place on Earth (the one in California) last Thursday by Micheal's brother Jackie. While they were there, we're told the kids were shown a screening of "Captain EO" -- which the Mouse stopped playing in 1998 -- and "they loved" it.

According to Disney blog MiceAge.com, the kids were able to see the movie because on Tuesday, the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience show was quietly closed, and Imagineers moved in with a truckload of equipment used to install the Captain EO show for a special executive presentation."

I wonder if that was the first time they ever saw Captain Eo , it must be amazing to see their dad in new videos or movies. Must make them feel a bit closer to him, i know when he passed away for days i watched his clips over and over, i still do to this day.

Thanks TMZ for this wonderful Michael Jackson News story and for those who have never seen Captain Eo here it is.

It goes to show that even among his peers , Michael Jackson was considered an icon and a superstar, for admiration by your peers is the highest form of flattery.
Madonna goes on to say how here kids have discovered Michael Jackson and in her words, “There’s a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and Moonwalking going on in my house,”
In conclusion Madonna acknowledges that Michael Jackson was one of the best performers ever, She ended with a statement that roused the crowd into a standing ovation: “Long live the King!”
