 Evan Chandler, dead at 65

Ewwww. Now this, you  guys. Sigh. Just read it for yourselves. I can't. I just can't.

via MirrorCo.UK:

"Slumped on his bed with a single bullet wound to the head, Evan Chandler was barely recognisable as the prominent Beverly Hills citizen he had once been.

The 65-year-old dentist who accused Michael Jackson of molesting his young son killed himself in his waterfront flat.

Police said he was still holding the .38-calibre revolver when his body was found on November 5.

And as details of his death were released this week, it emerged his face had been mutilated by a string of cosmetic procedures.

He was also known to regularly use botox and cosmetic fillers in an obsessive DIY bid to enhance his fading looks.

Neighbours say Chandler became a recluse in his last years, shutting himself inside the 16th-floor flat.

Police found five different prescription drugs in the apartment but was no suicide note. What’s clear is Chandler died a broken man, gravely ill and estranged from his family.

A relative said: “Evan began to develop tremendous mood swings. He was always depressed. He stopped coming to family events because he was afraid of being recognised. That turned into permanent estrangement.

The tragedy is that Chandler’s suicide  can be directly linked to the allegations he fired at the King of Pop. Once a  handsome, high-flying professional, Chandler saw his life turned upside down by his son Jordy’s claims against Jackson.

In 1993, Chandler reported Jackson to the authorities, claiming the singer molested 13-year-old Jordy. A grand jury was convened to look into the charges.

Chandler claimed he became concerned about the star’s relationship with his son after a number of creepy sleepovers and tried to get an order stopping Jackson from seeing Jordy. He blamed ex-wife June for letting their son visit Jacko in return for gifts and holidays."

So, now what? I don't even know where to go with this now. Did he do this because he felt guilty? And guilty for what exactly? Here are your choices: 

1.) Guilty for allowing his pre-teen son stay with a strange grown man, who was a wealthy celebrity, by the way, and who may have molested said son?

2.) Guilty for allowing his pre-teen son stay with a strange grown man, who was a wealthy celebrity, by the way, and who may have molested said son--but maybe DIDN'T--but he accused him ANYWAY? And pocketed $20 million in the process?


At this point? I don't even know anymore. 

Help.

 

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" Premiere in Los Angeles Last Night

 Why the GoddamnHELL was Paris Hilton invited? Oh, that's right. Her mom, Kathy says she "went to school with Michael". Really? All I've heard is how those Jackson kids were tutored. (Wait. My mind just crawled into the gutter. Was Kathy a "tutor" for those boys? Nevermind.) AND, of course Paris claims that Michael named his daughter Paris AFTER HER. 

So here's Paris Hilton, trying to looked serious and fierce (instead she just looks raggedy in a homemade safety pin 1990s Versace Halloween costume a` la Elizabeth Hurley from back in the day.) Sigh. You know what? I work damn hard on this blog, and I wasn't asked to attend this Premiere.

Ugh. Parisite.

The film itself sounds like it was quite a powerful experience. Prior to the showing, director/choreographer and good friend of Michael's spoke:

"Before the two-hour film began, Director Kenny Ortega (pictured with Jermaine) tried to explain what the late pop singer was hoping to accomplish with the tour and why they chose the massive Nokia Theatre to premiere the movie.

“Tonight we come together in the name of one of the greatest entertainers known in our times and a man whose heart pumped to make this world a better place: Michael Jackson,” Ortega said. “This Is It is, and always has been from the time we started, for the fans. The Nokia became our first residence. It is where we held auditions and where Michael hand-selected many of the creative artists who joined him for this. It is with great pride that we are premiering it here tonight.”

look positively ecstatic being back in the limelight?

Enjoy it, fellas. Ain't gonna last.

Of COURSE I'm going to see this film. Are you guys? 

Trailer for Michael Jackson's "This is It" Film

I have to say this film looks pretty spectacular and interesting. Yes, it's yet another way for the Jackson family (excluding Janet, who has scruples) to mooch a bit more of a financial gain from Michael's death. 

Jermaine is beginning to irritate me just as much as Father Joe. Aside from wanting to bury Michael where he never wanted to be buried (Neverland Ranch), he's still trying to rustle up some performers for the now-delayed "tribute" concert for Michael. Dude? Let him rest in peace. I wonder if Jermaine was secretly pissed that Janet performed an awesome tribute last night during the MTV Video Music Awards. How about letting that performance be the "tribute"?

Yes, I'll most likely see "This is It"when it hits theatres next month. The scale and sound alone should be fantastic. I never saw Michael in concert, and I suppose this will be the closest thing to seeing him in person.

Will you go? 

MTV VMA Michael Jackson Tribute Promo

MTV Shows

As I mentioned, Janet Jackson will be opening the MTV Video Music Awards with a tribute to her brother Michael, this Sunday evening.

This is a pretty cool ad. Are you guys gonna watch?

Janet Jackson to perform tribute to Michael at VMA's

"Dunk" - MJ's nickname for sister, Janet Jackson;
as in "gadunka dunk" - Big Booty

It sounds as though Miss Jackson will be performing a huge tribute at the MTV VMAs to her brother--perhaps even opening the show. 

TMZ reports that Janet Jackson is working overtime to prepare a spectacular Michael Jackson tribute for this year's VMAs, which take place on Sunday. The tribute piece will reportedly involve 20 backup dancers, trained by world-class choreographers such as Frank Gatson and Travis Payne. According to Kryiss Grant, one of the dancers, rehearsals for the tribute have lasted up to 15 hours a day, and when people see what Janet has in store for them, "there won't be a dry eye in the house."

I think I'm watching it this year...will you?

The Jackson Family is Not Pleased with TV Coverage from Choppers During Funeral

 Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson

at Michael's funeral last night.

Yeah, I'm shocked, too, that the Jackson's didn't appreciate CNN and other news organizations having the nerve to fly over Michael's funeral at Forest Lawn last night. HA! You know why, don't you? Because they plan on selling a dvd and/or show excerpts on their upcoming TV show, forpitysake. It has NOTHING to do with privacy. (I'm excluding Janet from this entire rant, by the way.) 

If Joe and Jermaine had their way, Michael would've been buried at that garish Grace Neverland and everyone knows it--even though Michael never wanted to go back to that place. Thank goodness Mother Katherine and the Jackson women stood up to them.


Seriously, if that family wanted "privacy", they would have buried him right after the coronor returned Michael's brain to his head. They never would have told media outlets when the funeral would be held. 

How stupid do the Jackson men think we are? Because I know exactly how stupid they are. Hmmph.

Michael Jackson's Funeral is Underway...Finally Laid to Rest.

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson...finally.

for Michael Jackson's funeral this evening.

As I am writing this, Michael Jackson's funeral is taking place in Glendale, California. It's sort of being televised, but not in its entirety. (I have a sneaking suspicion it may show on up DVD at some point, but that's the cynic in me. I just wouldn't put it past Joe.)

Anyway. Lisa Marie Presley (Michael's first ex-wife) was seen crying when the casket was brought into the mourning area. Corey Feldman, Chris Tucker, Macaulay Culkin and girlfriend Mila Kunis, and Dame Elizabeth Taylor were all in attendance. (Miss Taylor looked unbelievably gorgeous, I must say.) Of course, Michael's darling children arrived, Prince Michael hanging close to "Blanket", and Paris looking very stoic in eyeglasses. They really are beautiful children.

I feel a bit badly for making light of the burial of Michael Jackson earlier today...but gee, 70 days since he died and he's just now being buried? All I know is, we have not heard even remotely the end of this story. We still don't have an arrest in his homicide. That will happen any day now, I guarantee it. Dr. Conrad Murray will be arrested, then we'll have the trial...many months (years?) of trying to get to the bottom of Michael Jackson's death.

It's so cliche` to say, but Michael's music really was a soundtrack to periods of my life, just like millions of others. One funny one is when "Off the Wall" came out in 1979...I really wanted to be his friend. I was living in Ventura, California at the time, and I thought if I could just be Michael's friend, maybe he'd find some normalcy. What a weirdo I was...but I can't help but remember that time in my life and how much I LOVED Michael Jackson.

Once again. Rest in Peace, Michael.

We're goin to the chapel and we're...gonna get BURIED.

Joe and Katherine Jackson's fancy ride to the funeral.

MJ and Mac, back in the day.

I know. Gross. What else am I supposed to say? Other than, "it's about GD time someone buried that poor man"? Jaaayzus.

Today, Michael Jackson is finally being buried today in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. It's being rumored that Macaulay Culkin will be in attendance, but we don't know for sure. What appears to be true, is that invitations were mailed out to close friends and family members. The invitation indicates that there will be an "after-burial celebration" at Villa Sorriso Ristorante in Glendale.

Seems to me that divulging that information is kind of an invitation for the freeeaks to show up--uninvited.

More details later....

Would someone, I don't care who, please bury this man??

Lethal Levels of Propofol Found In Michael Jackson's System - Ruled as HOMOCIDE. Big, fat surprise?

MJ's still not buried, by the way.

Coroner's sealed documents have been opened and it's being revealed that a lethal level of Propofol was indeed in Michael Jackson's system at the time of his death.

The L.A. Times is reporting:

"L.A. County coroner's officials found lethal levels of the powerful anesthetic propofol after examining Michael Jackson's body, according to a search warrant affidavit unsealed today in Houston.

On the morning Jackson died, Murray tried to induce sleep without using propofol, according to the affidavit. He said he gave Jackson valium at 1:30 a.m. When that didn't work, he said, he injected lorazepam intravenously at 2 a.m. At 3 a.m., when Jackson was still awake, Murray administered midazolam.

Over the next few hours, Murray said he gave Jackson various drugs. Then at 10:40 a.m., Murray administered 25 milligrams of propofol after Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug, according to the court record.

[Updated at 12:45 p.m.: Although Murray acknowledged to police that he administered Profofol, authorities said they could find no evidence that he had purchased, ordered or obtained the medication under his medical license or DEA tracking number. However, police detectives saw about eight bottles of Propofol in the house along with other vials and pills that had been prescribed to Jackson by Dr. Murray, Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger."

I'll say it again: They are gonna put a bitch in jaaaail. At least one of these doctors (most certainly Dr. Murray) will be charged with manslaughter.
