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.
