When exactly Oprah Show is going to end?

Oprah Winfrey was set to announce Friday that her powerhouse daytime television show, the foundation of a multibillion-dollar media empire with legions of fans, will end its run in 2011 after 25 seasons on the air.

Winfrey planned to announce the final date for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" during a live broadcast, according to her production company, Harpo Productions Inc.

Many fans heading into Harpo Studios on Friday morning seemed to support Winfrey's decision to end the show.

"You always want to end a show when people want more — and not when people are sick of watching you," said Rebecca Switaj, 31, of Chicago.

Said Sandra Donaldson, 51, of Indianapolis: "It's time to elevate to something new. Whatever she does is going to be a blessing. It's going to be rewarding and eye-opening. Her name alone opens doors."

Once a local Chicago morning program, the production evolved into television's top-rated talk show for more than two decades, airing in 145 countries worldwide and watched by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the U.S. alone.

"Oprah Winfrey is in a category of her own," said Robert Thompson, professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse University. "This is a great American story and like any great American story it's supersized."

A Harpo spokeswoman declined to comment Thursday on Winfrey's plans except to say that "The Oprah Winfrey Show," which has seen ratings slip 7 percent from a year ago, will not move to cable television.

Winfrey, 55, is widely expected to start up a new talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a much-delayed joint venture with Discovery Communications Inc. that is projected to debut in 2011. OWN is to replace the Discovery Health Channel and will debut in some 74 million homes. An OWN spokeswoman declined comment Thursday.

CBS Television Distribution, which distributes "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to more than 200 U.S. markets, held out hope it could continue doing business with Winfrey, perhaps producing a new show out of its studios in Los Angeles.

"We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success," the CBS Corp. unit said in a statement. "We look forward to working with her for the next several years, and hopefully afterwards as well."

Fans expressed hope that Winfrey would announce another project.

"Oprah, she impacts everybody, her life, the way she gives," Shawana Fletcher, 29, of Chicago, said outside Harpo Studios. "I hope she's not totally done. That's what we're praying."

Winfrey's 24th season opened this year with a bang, as she drew more than 20,000 fans to Chicago's Magnificent Mile for a block party with the Black Eyed Peas. She followed with a series of blockbuster interviews — Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, singer Whitney Houston and ESPN's Erin Andrews, and just this week, former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

As a newcomer, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" chipped away at talk king Phil Donahue's dominance. Later, turned to inspiration. The show covered ranged from interviews with the world's celebrities to an honest discussion about Winfrey's weight struggles.

"As the show evolved, it really kind of dressed up the neighborhood of the daytime talk show," Thompson said.

In 1986, pianist-showman Liberace gave his final TV interview to Winfrey, just six weeks before he died. In a 1993 prime-time special, Michael Jackson revealed he suffered from a skin condition that produces depigmentation. Tom Cruise enthusiastically declared his affection for the much-younger Katie Holmes on the program in 2005 — and jumped on the couch to prove it.

In 2004, Winfrey unveiled her most famous giveaway, when nearly 300 members of the studio audience opened a gift box to find the keys to a new car inside. The stunt became a classic show moment as much for Winfrey's reaction — "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" — as its $7 million price tag.

The show also became a launching pad for Oprah's Book Club, which then launched best-sellers. The titles ranged from "Song of Solomon" and "Paradise" by Toni Morrison to Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone" and Elie Wiesel's "Night."

For others, the selection backfired. "A Million Little Pieces" exploded in sales after Winfrey chose the James Frey memoir in fall 2005. Soon after, it was revealed as a fabricated tale of addiction and recovery, and Winfrey later chewed out Frey on her show.

"I call her `Queen of the New Consciousness' because she did so many things to change lives, the books that she promoted," said hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

The loss of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" would be a blow to CBS Corp., which earns a percentage of hefty licensing fees from TV stations that use it — largely ABC affiliates. CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves told analysts two weeks ago that the contract with the show runs through most of 2011 and "if there's a negative impact, it wouldn't hit us until '12."

"Oprah's been a force of media and there's really no person you can look to out there who you could say, `That's the heir apparent,'" said Larry Gerbrandt, an analyst for Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles. Gerbrandt noted many stations build their schedules around Winfrey's show.

"It's a big loss, but not as huge as it would have been 10 years ago," he said. "However, it still commands the biggest audience and ABC station competitors are licking their chops."

Talk of the show's end often has accompanied Winfrey's contract negotiations. Before signing her current contract in 2004, she talked about quitting after the 2005-2006 season. As far back as 1995, she called continuing "a difficult and important decision."

Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md., before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV's morning talk show "A.M. Chicago" — which became "The Oprah Winfrey Show" one year later. She set up Harpo the following year and her talk show went into syndication.

Powered by the show's staggering success, Winfrey built a media empire. Harpo Studios produces shows hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw and celebrity chef Rachael Ray. O, The Oprah Magazine was the nation's 7th most popular magazine in the first half of 2009.

"I came from nothing," Winfrey wrote in the 1998 book "Journey to Beloved." "No power. No money. Not even my thoughts were my own. I had no free will. No voice. Now, I have the freedom, power, and will to speak to millions every day — having come from nowhere."

Earlier this year, Forbes scored Winfrey's net worth at $2.7 billion.

Paris Hilton is Pissed the Kardashian’s Are More Famous Than Her!

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian used to be best friends until recent months of fame and popularity around the Kardashians sisters that pushing Kim's fame and earnings edging higher than Paris!

"She used to command $100,000 for club appearances, but now Kim is the hottest girl -- and they aren't friends anymore. The magazines are bidding around $300,000 for Kourtney's baby-shower and baby pictures. And Khloe's wedding brought in record ratings for E!

Joe Jackson is seeking to dismiss the executors of his late son's estate

Joe Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson, is still seeking to dismiss the executors of his late son's estate with a new appeal filed in court.

According to the papers, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jackson objects to the appointment of John Branca and John McClain as executors of the estate and requests that they be dismissed in an appeal of the final order delivered by the judge on November 10.

Last week, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff decided that Jackson cannot challenge the executors of the King of Pop's will or inherit the late star's assets, according to the Associated Press. The judge said that the 81-year-old Jackson patriarch can follow through with a motion to seek a family allowance from Michael's estate -- but he cannot inherit his late son's assets because he is not named in the will.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at MOCA 30th Anniversary:

Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie slammed the rumours of their drifting apart after they appeared together at Moca's new 30th anniversary exhibition. The air was filled with the love.

Imdb.com. reports that Jolie, 34, was dressed in an adorable strapless Armani Prive dress, while the 45-year-old Pitt was looked dashing in his black slacks, a jacket and a tie.

The couple has recently been plagued by rumours of relationship troubles, but there was no sign of any problem when they walked from room to room admiring different pieces of artwork

AMANDA PEET: ‘I have an inner conflict'

AMANDA Peet says she tries to keep her sexy body in check — but she often wonders why she bothers.

The 37-year-old actress — who stars opposite John Cusack in the brilliant new movie 2012 — admits she realizes she can’t stop her body from aging.

“It’s not really working,” Peet told Parade magazine. “I have an inner conflict. I’ll be at the gym and I’ll start thinking, ‘What am I doing? I’m going to sag no matter what I do.’

“I’ve certainly taken my clothes off on camera, but you have body make-up and special lighting.

“I mean, someone with a figure like Jennifer Aniston has a trainer, a cook spinning out some version of the latest diet, and probably a stop at the tanning salon. Then teenage girls go, ‘God, I wish I could look like that.’ Maybe they wouldn’t if they knew what it took.’”

Peet — who has a daughter, Frances Pen, with her screenwriter husband David Benioff — then opened up about returning to New York after living in Los Angeles.

“I feel very vulnerable even though I grew up here,” she said. “I mean, it’s a huge crowded city where 9/11 happened. Sometimes if they raise the alert level or something I walk down the subway steps and wonder if I’m going to be in danger.

“I guess I think about it most when I’m on the subway. But I always say to myself, ‘Just get on the train and don’t give in to this sh**.’”

The actress also revealed that she’d like to do a romantic comedy with Cusack.

“2012 is our third film together and at least we sort of got to be lovers more than we ever have been before. John has this kind of vulnerability, this kind of Tom Hanks everyman quality, but he’s a little more edgy with this great dry sense of humor. I just think he’s wonderful.”

David Hasselhoff was drunk again in London

It seems he just can’t shake his desire for drink, and earlier this week David Hasselhoff was reportedly hospitalized for two days after a drunken bender in London, England.

The worst part about it is that the former “Baywatch” hunk ended up punching a doctor during his binge at the St. Martins Lane Hotel.

The Hoff was released on Thursday from the Capio Nightingale Hospital after being held for 48 hours to sober up and sort himself out.

David is across the pond to help celebrate Simon Cowell’s birthday, though it doesn’t seem that he’s paying too much attention to the “American Idol” icon.

A Nobel Peace prize for Obama. WHY?

“He won what?” is the first universal reaction.
And second, at least on the Right: “Why did they do that?”

Even the Nobel committee’s citation does not pretend Barack Obama has actually achieved anything. Rather, it was given to him “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” That’s efforts, not achievements.

Reading carefully through the entire citation suggests that Obama is being celebrated for two reasons. Its chatter about “a new climate,” the United Nations, a “vision of a world free from nuclear arms,” and “great climatic challenges” points to his being the anti-George W. Bush.

Second, the prize committee hopes to constrain Obama’s hands vis-à-vis Iran. It lauds him for not using force: “Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts.” This is obviously gibberish: Whereas Bush did not use force against North Korea, Obama does not rely on dialogue in Afghanistan. But the statement does pressure Obama not to use force in the theater that counts the most, namely the Iranian nuclear build-up.

So, from the Leftist Norwegian point of view, it’s a twofer — bash Bush and handcuff Obama.

My prediction: The absurdity of the prize decision will harm Obama politically in the United States, contrasting his role as international celebrity with his record devoid of accomplishments. Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, notes that Obama “won’t be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.” Expert to hear much more along those lines.

Recap - BIG BROTHER Episode 28, Season 11

Related searches: big brother 11 episode 27, big brother 11 final hoh part 2, big brother 11 wikipedia, big brother 11 wiki, big brother 12

It’s hard to believe that we’re almost finished with the eleventh season of Big Brother. It seems like just a few days ago that people such as Chima, Ronnie, Casey, and Laura’s gigantic breasts first appeared on our televisions screens.

We’re now down to the final three, and I must admit that I’m ready for the season to end. Not that there hasn’t been some entertainment this season. We’ve had a steady stream of live evictions that were memorable and unpredictable. Even the Tuesday episodes, traditionally the trash bin of silly filler, have had enough material to allow producers to edit them into precise stories that outshine the typical CSI garbage that fills their lineup.

Yet, it’s time to put the show to rest, as the finalists may be the most boring in the show’s history. Yeah, Kevin gives good diary room commentary, and Jordan’s naivety is good for a laugh or two. As for Natalie…um, I can’t think of anything entertaining about her. Sorry, Gnat fans.

But the last few days have been snooze fests on the feeds. Jordan sits outside and tries to memorize the alphabet, Kevin worries about which hoody matches his nerd shirt, and Natalie pats herself on the back for being the most loyal, honest person in the world. I don’t know how anybody can sit through more than a few minutes of this drivel.

At least tonight, CBS is keeping us in the dark as to what’s going to happen. We know that we’ll see tape of Tuesday’s round of the final HOH competition, and we’re supposed to also see round two. Other then that, we have no clue. There are rumors the last expulsion won’t happen until the finale, or that we may actually have a live show on Sunday (I doubt that one, though, since it’s the first NFL Sunday). It will be interesting to see just what CBS has planned for us tonight.

So let’s get started. Oooh, all three are officially lasting until finale night. Interesting. But after that announcement, Julie takes us to where we left off last Tuesday with Natalie, Jordan, and Kevin perched on a giant, rolling log.

This is not exactly exciting material. They’re all shocked by the introduction of the “elements”, and they all babble about how it’s so important they win. Natalie thanks Kevin for sticking to his word, and they flash back to Michelle’s eviction. Kevin goes on about how it was such a “huuuuuuuuuuge” decision. Um, sure. For the second time in two minutes, we hear Jordan babble about how she’s alone in the house. Natalie gloats, but the other two sort of ignore her. “Evil is gone.” Ugh.

Back to the competition, and Natalie is still babbling about Michelle. She needles Jordan about how Michelle can now hang out with Jeff, but Jordan says it doesn’t faze her. “You’re a little instigator.”

The log stops, and the rain begins. We hear Kevin complain again about the cold. Enough. Oooooh, Natalie almost falls, but swings around on her rope and saves herself. Jordan now whines about the “wind”…and then the “real” snow. “Can you torture me anymore?”

After three hours, Natalie starts egging the others to drop. Kevin says that he’s going until the sun rises, but Natalie counters he might as well just drop. She then whispers to Jordan that Kevin’s hand is starting to shake, and that if Jordan falls she’ll drop five minutes later. Natalie adds in the diary room that she’s just playing with Jordan to make her take her if she miraculously wins HOH.

Jordan complains that she’s cold, and Kevin sees that as an opportunity. He tells her to shiver so that she’ll warm up, knowing that it would distract here enough to drop. Sure enough, she falls. “I sort of zoned out because it went forward. I’d say it was a five hundred thousand dollar mistake.” Natalie and Kevin smiled at each other, knowing that their plan is working.

After a bit more self-congratulatory babbling, bickering, and a promise to take her to the finals (as they had promised a few days before), Natalie finally drops. This despite the fact that Kevin says in the diary room that his word means nothing in this house. “I hope this move pays off for me in the end”, says Natalie right before they show her jump. Thank God that’s over.

When we return from commercials, it’s time for Julie to chat with the final three. She informs them that all three of them will make it to finale night. They all yell “what?” over and over. Tonight will be part two of the HOH competition, and part three will be on finale night. The jury questioning will then happen immediately before the vote.

Now it’s time for Jeff to enter the jury house. They all hope that it’s Jeff coming in, and that they hope Kevin survives. Russell asks how he’ll handle Natalie if she’s evicted, and he babbles about how he’ll treat her respect. Ugh. Lydia explains that Natalie has a lot of explaining to do. Oh Lord.

Russell again says he hopes that it’s Jeff coming in, and they all jump for joy to see that it is indeed Jeff. Jeff says coming into the jury house was “nerve wracking”, and Lydia is happy to hear that Kevin backstabbed him. Russell says it’s “validation” that Jeff got burned by Kevin. Jessie can’t wait to inform Jeff that Natalie is 24, and surprisingly they all agree that she has survived by riding on everybody’s coattails.

They then watch the video as Lydia continues on needling Jeff. Jessie notes that Natalie “doesn’t even try”, and Lydia babbles more about how she doesn’t like her. Jeff says he thinks Jordan and Michelle will be the final two. Oh Lord, Jeff.

After commercials, Julie interviews “four of the best players in Big Brother history”. Hmmm, I don’t know if I agree with that assessment, but it is nice to see Janelle, Danielle, and Dick. I could live without Mike Boogie, but whatever. Dick is asked what he did with his prize money, and he says he’s “still playing with it”. Boogie “treated” himself to a Bentley, and kisses Julie’s ass with a baby gift.

They move on to game play. Danielle says that Natalie has played the best game because she “has lied really well”, and “gotten Kevin to do her dirty work”. Janelle says the worst move of the season was Jeff getting rid of Russell. Boogie says the best move of the game was Jeff got rid of Jessie, and Natalie and Kevin’s lie to get rid of Russell. Dick agrees with this.

They move on to Chima, and Boogie agrees that she should have been kicked out but says that people should give her a break because being in the house is very stressful. Dick says she lost sight of the end goal when she lost her mind. He’s clearly not a fan of this year’s final three.

Julie asks who they think is going to win - Boogie, Dick, and Janelle all say it will be Kevin. Danielle babbles about how women can only win if they’re sitting next to each other in the finals. I don’t know if I buy that. Wow, that segment wasn’t as entertaining as I thought it would be.

We move on to part two of the final HOH competition between Jordan and Natalie. The game is called “Heads Will Roll”, and the goal is to put balls with the HOH’s name on them in the correct order. Poor Jordan is not going to do well in this.

Natalie starts by getting all of the balls out. Oh wait, not all of them. She starts rolling them up, but is struggling. She ends the two minutes with five correct answers. I‘m surprised she didn‘t do better, but I predict that Jordan only gets two.

Too bad we have to sit through one more commercial break to get to Jordan’s turn. How is a girl who can’t remember what she had for breakfast possibly remember the order of HOH’s? She also grabs a handful of different balls first, and starts rolling them in, but spends too much time watching the balls instead of grabbing more. At the one minute mark, she does have four, and ties Natalie with five. OMG, she just beat her!!! Wow, she got nine out of ten!!! I can’t wait to see Natalie’s reaction.

Ah, Julie just confirmed that America will be the tie-breaking vote thanks to Chima’s departure from the game. Too bad that they’re making this as confusing as possible, as there are different numerical choices based on who makes the final two.

Kevin appears to be the most nervous to find out who won this round, and is shocked to discover that Jordan won! Jordan’s reaction? “I’m sweating.” She says she’s up for the challenge, and Natalie babbles that she should have won because she knows “everything” that has happened in the house. Yep, make it about yourself, you twit.

And that’s it for tonight!

Michael Jackson in a Concrete Wrapped Coffin

According to source, the coffin of the late pop king, Michael Jackson, will be covered using thick concrete so that robbers will not be able to steal it.

The King of Pop’s funeral is scheduled to be held as a family affair at a walled Los Angeles cemetery on September 3.

If sources are to be believed, then emotional farewell letters have been written for the late pop legend by his children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven, that will be placed in his 18,000-pound gold-plated coffin, reports the Daily Express.

According to the newspaper, the trademark of gloves will also be placed in his coffin, while being buried.

Jackson’s brother Marlon has disclosed that MJ has been fitted with a new shoulder-length wig while his face was painted with full stage makeup.

Soul legend Aretha Franklin will be performing during the funeral which will be attended by just family and close friends.

A wall of concrete will then be poured around the coffin to keep ghoulish souvenir hunters at bay.

Marlon said: “This is the final step – the final curtain will be closed as regards to Michael’s life. It’s a quiet place where the children will be able to visit in private.”

Michael Jackson's kids pen goodbye notes

Michael Jackson's children have written emotional goodbye letters which will be placed in his coffin.

Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II - also known as 'Blanket' - scrawled messages including "Daddy we love you" and "Daddy we miss you" on notes that will be buried with the 'King of Pop' on Thursday (03.09.09).

The singer's brother Marlon has spoken about the letters and other details of Michael's funeral, which will be held in the family's compound at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

He claims Michael will also beburied with his trademark white glove, and has been fitted with a new shoulder-length wig. The star's face has also been painted with full stage makeup.

Marlon told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "This will be a private ceremony. His hairstylist has made his hair special and a make-up artist has gone in and fixed him up so he's ready for the big day.

"This will be Michael's final curtain call - the last show. His shell will be gone but his spirit lives on."

After the ceremony - which will be attended by just a handful of family members and friends including Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross - Michael's coffin will be encased in thick concrete to protect it from grave robbers.

CCTV cameras and alarms will also protect the body.

Michael died of a cardiac arrest in June. His body has been stored in a refrigerated morgue at the cemetery ever since.

The LA County coroner officially ruled his death homicide on Friday (28.08.09).

Marlon claims he and the rest of the Jackson family blame Michael's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray - who is believed to have administered the powerful anaesthetic that killed the singer - for his death.

Marlon said: "Michael died and someone is to blame - and it's the doctor who was with him. Conrad Murray was the last person to be with Michael and he knows exactly what went on and he's not saying.

"I don't think anyone tried to kill Michael on purpose but something went wrong, something happened and, yes, some of my family do think it's murder.

"He had too many 'yes' men around him. I'm talking about the doctors who were around him, the people he had working for him. It's sad to say but these doctors would do anything for the money."

Michael Jackson's sperm is being flown to England.

Michael Jackson's sperm is being flown to England.

The singer's family is planning to spend £900 moving the sample to a secure London clinic to protect it from "unscrupulous" people who might use it to create a new heir to his fortune.

Michael - who died in June - deposited the genetic material in a Los Angeles sperm bank last year.

He was hoping it could be used to conceive his fourth child, but his family now fears "rogue elements" could use it to get their hands on Michael's billion dollar estate.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It might sound crazy but when it comes to Michael anything is possible. With everything that's at stake the last thing the Jackson family need is someone using his sperm to give birth to a child and produce another potential heir to Michael's estate.

"The family know Michael authorised a number of people to access this sperm sample. The problem is they don't know who has access and given that a number of doctors have been implicated in his death then something sinister could easily happen."

The Jackson family has reportedly chosen to store the sperm in the British clinic because it has "extremely strict" security.

A clinic source said: "The samples are kept behind unbreakable barriers and we have several layers of security operating around the sperm bank 24 hours a day."

Once there, the sample will be cryogenically frozen and stored under an anonymous identity number.

Michael had three children Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II - also known as 'Blanket'.

His former wife Debbie Rowe is the mother of his eldest children, while Blanket's mother is unknown.

Michael insisted he was the biological father of his children, but his dermatologist Arnold Klein claims he fathered Prince Michael I and Paris.

Klein's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said: "There was a possibility that the two older kids could be biologically linked to Dr. Klein. And Dr. Klein was well aware."

Klein has refused to take a DNA test to determine his biological relationship to the children.

Kaplan explained: "It would serve no helpful purpose for the children to be distracted from believing Michael Jackson is not the father in every possibility. It would be of interest to other people.

"It is not something Dr. Klein feels he is interested to establish. It would serve no purpose other than creating distraction or noise. It is not going to help the children, other than to solve the answered question, which is a selfish motive to see who the ultimate provider of the 13 chromosomes is."

Marijuana at MJ's home.

Michael Jackson wasn't too picky when it came to his drugs, he was all about being an equal opportunity stoner. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that a bag of marijuana was found at his rented home.

Detectives found two baggies of "brown sticky solid substance" that they assumed was heroine, but it turns it out it was marijuana, reports Extra.

The recovered items were given to the L.A. County Coroner's Office. TMZ reports that during the search they also found a empty bottle of Lorazepam, an empty bottle of Diazepam, a baggy with the medical label with the name Dr. Conrad Murray, 2 cigarette packs, 1 cigarette paper, 4 pill bottles and 1 shaving case.

Detective Orlando Martinez wrote, "Conversations with family members lead me to believe that there may be additional medications and/or narcotics at the location as well as the necessity to confiscate these items for the safety of the minor children."

It seems like there's been an ongoing investigation regarding drugs at Michael's house for months and months now. Every drug under the moon has been "discovered" at his house. We get it. He used drugs. Bury the poor guy already and let him rest in peace.

Is Michael Jackson stil Alive ???

It happens with most celebrities who die a sudden death—and now there’s talk that Michael Jackson is still alive. I found a video that shows a man jumping out of the back of a coroner’s van.

The person who uploaded the video said in a statement, "This video shows that Michael was still alive after his dead body was transported to the Los Angeles Dept. of Coroner I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in. I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it´s real and Michael is alive."

Check out the video! It’s pretty eerie, and the man who exits the vehicle looks an awful lot like Michael. But this could very well be staged! Decided for yourself! Is it real, or just a hoax?

Secret email accounts used by Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson held two secret email accounts which he used to buy prescription drugs, it was claimed today.

According to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, police on Sunday said they had only recently discovered the tragic King of Pop kept accounts with AOL and Google’s Gmail.

“The email accounts could hold vital evidence with regard to Michael’s death and the drugs he was using regularly,” a source told the tabloid. “Not only did he get prescription drugs through a network of doctors, it’s believed he may also have got them from illegal websites or drug cartels. The LAPD has to get a search warrant first and this takes a few days.”

It has also emerged police have got the number for a private mobile phone used by Jackson. Detectives had not been told about the rarely used number until last week — despite interviewing some 35 witnesses close to the singer.

Homicide in Michael Jackson's case.

The mystery surrounding Michael Jackson's death is, slowly yet surely, unraveled as it has just been reported that the Los Angeles County coroner has ruled his death a homicide, citing a combination of drugs was the cause. The ruling, thus, makes it more likely that criminal charges will be filed against the late singer's physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with the King of Pop the day he passed away on June 25.

The news is first brought to public's notice by the Associated Press. In a report on its site, the news media claims "a designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed."

Dr. Conrad has become the person of interest in the manslaughter investigation conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department to determine the event that led to Michael's death due to cardiac arrest. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed in a Houston court on Monday, August 24, Dr. Conrad admitted he'd been treating Michael for insomnia for six weeks, during when he gave the superstar 50 milligrams of propofol every night.

Fearing that Michael could be addicted to propofol, Dr. Conrad admitted to lowering the dosages and mixing it with two other sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. He confessed that on the morning Michael passed away, he gave him the same combination of drugs that made him sleep.

At the time of writing, detectives are still investigating whether Dr. Conrad's action can be classified as negligence for an involuntary manslaughter charge. Meanwhile, Michael's family is still waiting for the final words from authorities on what killed the late singer.

And while the official cause of Michael's death will remain sealed until the manslaughter investigation is completed and the final autopsy report is released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office, the Jacksons have confirmed to bury Michael in a private ceremony at Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. on September 3.

Michael Jackson funeral and burial set for 51st birthday

MICHAEL Jackson will finally be laid to rest on August 29, the day the King of Pop would have turned 51.

His father Joe Jackson, 80, said the birthday burial at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Cemetery would be a private event, although he could not say which family members would be present.

The singing star's interment is to be held more than two months after his June 25 death from heart failure.

Authorities are investigating whether prescription drugs played a role in death the death of Jackson, 50, and have focused on the role played by his personal physician Conrad Murray.

Dr Murray was present at the time Jackson died and reportedly has admitted prescribing powerful anaesthetics to his world-famous client.

Joe Jackson, who spoke from Las Vegas, said he planned to return to the city immediately after the burial service to attend a charity fundraiser in the famed Palms Casino Resort.

The event, Las Vegas Celebrates The Music of Michael Jackson, is to showcase Las Vegas Strip entertainers singing hits made famous by the pop icon.

'Potentially Lethal' Traces Of Propofol - revealed by Michael Jackson's autopsy

The second autopsy carried out on Michael Jackson's body found needle marks and traces of a potentially lethal amount of Propofol in the singer's system, according to unconfirmed reports.The results of the autopsy requested by the Jackson family two days after the star's death on June 25 are “consistent” with those of the examination carried out by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office a day earlier, a source tells E!Online.com.
The results are not expected to be made public for another week due to the on-going investigation into Jackson's death, however, it has been widely speculated he died after being given Propofol, a powerful sedative that should only be used in hospitals.
Investigators are said to have been interested in the singer's live-in physician Dr Conrad Murray - who was at Jackson's Los Angeles home when he went into cardiac arrest - and other doctors who prescribed and administered drugs to Jackson over the years

Michael Jackson’s youngest son thinks his father is on holiday

Michael Jackson’s youngest son thinks his father is on holiday.

Prince Michael II, also known as ‘Blanket’, doesn’t realise his singer dad died last month and was left confused after the ‘Thriller’ star’s memorial service in Los Angeles.

Mark Lester - who is godfather to Michael’s three children, Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old ‘Blanket’ - told Hello! magazine: “It is obvious to me that Blanket is still unsure about what exactly happened to his father. He said, ‘Where’s daddy gone? On holiday?’ It was a rhetorical question and it broke my heart.

“Prince was taciturn, unusual for him, but we still had a hug. Paris gave me a tight hug and we just held each other for a while. We were both welling up. I told her that her dad would always lie in her heart and be remembered by at least half of the world. Paris replied, ‘I’m just glad he is at peace.’ ”

British actor Mark, who rose to fame as a child star in movie musical ‘Oliver!’, also revealed his three godchildren - who are currently being looked after by Michael’s mother Katherine Jackson, who has temporary custody of them - have begged to spend this Christmas with him and his family.

He said: “Paris was disappointed my daughters couldn’t come to the memorial. She asked me, ‘Can we come and stay with you at Christmas and I can bring the presents?’

“I was very touched and still hope it can be arranged. It’s difficult to say until the custody arrangements have been finalised.”

Mark, who is planning to attend the service when Michael’s body is buried, also insisted Prince Michael I and Paris have no relationship with their biological mother, Michael’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe.

The 50-year-old star explained: “The children don’t know her and haven’t seen her for years. The possibility the three children might be split up - ‘Blanket’, of course, is by another mother - is unthinkable and I believe it would be disastrous for them.”

Meanwhile, Michael’s father Joe Jackson has denied beating his son when he was growing up.

When asked about allegations he physically harmed Michael as a child, Joe told US TV talk show host Larry King: “That is a bunch of bull. That is not true. I never have. I raised him just like you would raise your kids. Why would I harm Michael? He was my son and I loved him. I still love him.”

It was recently alleged Michael was left sterile and unable to have children after Joe kicked him in the testicles when he younger.

Jackson's brother Tito acuse Dr Conrad Murray

Several members of the Jackson family have pointed the finger of blame for Michael Jackson's death firmly in the direction of his live-in doctor.

Jackson's brother Tito has questioned the actions of Dr Conrad Murray - who was at Jackson's Los Angeles home when he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest – and speculated that the cardiologist's failure to act quickly may have cost his brother his life.

It's been reported that Murray waited half-an-hour before dialling 911 after finding the pop legend unconscious because, he claimed, he was unsure of his employer's exact address.

“My opinion is that he panicked when my brother didnt wake up,” Tito said.

“I think the doctor probably figured he was in trouble and he tried to revive Michael. He did have a pulse but he couldnt bring him back.

“I dont know what the time lapse was between the doctor finding him and when he called paramedics.

“But I believe if he had immediately called for help we might still have my brother here today, he would definitely still be alive.

“Tito also accused Dr Murray of not carrying out proper resuscitation methods. It has been claimed the medic did cardiac massage on the dying star as he lay on a soft bed instead of a hard surface the accepted practice.”

Tito also expressed concern about Dr Murray's fruitless attempts to resuscitate Jackson.

He added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: “The CPR attempt is one of the things I noticed that was very strange.

“CPR is one of the first things you learn to do as a doctor, and you dont do it on a soft bed. And Tito also accused Dr Murray of disappearing in the wake of Jackos death. He said: Im not sure if he went with Michael to the hospital.”

Meanwhile, his brother Jermaine has also been left questioning Murray's role in the singer's tragic death.

"A doctor is supposed to keep someone healthy - but Michael went from good health to death in the space of one day," he said.

Speaking about the moment he first met Murray, he recalled: "The first time I met Dr Murray was at the hospital.

"I didn't feel good when I saw him because I felt that if he was a doctor, why was Michael not here? Why was Michael dead?"

Jackson's sister La Toya also says the behaviour of Murray immediately after Jackson's death has left her deeply troubled and with unanswered questions.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she says she approached him in the hospital and asked what had happened and he just "mumbled a bunch of nothing."

She said: "He said something like, 'Michael didn’t make it, I’m sorry.' It wasn’t right. It felt weird."

Murray has maintained, through his lawyer, that he did not administer any drugs to the singer that may have resulted in his death.

Jackson's family are still awaiting the results of his autopsy which were expected to be released last week, but have been delayed by two weeks.

A New Fight for custody of Michael Jackson's kids

Michael Jackson’s doctor is set to seek custody of his two eldest children.
Dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein has reportedly told pals he is the father of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, and is ready to take responsibility for them.
A source said: “Arnold is planning to fight for custody of Prince Michael and Paris. He says he can prove he is there father.
“Arnold has told his close friends he is Prince Michael and Paris’ father for years, while never giving a straight answer in public.
“He says he was paid nothing for the sperm but was paid for keeping the information confidential.”
Speculation has been rife that Arnold is the biological dad of the children since Michael passed away from a suspected cardiac arrest last month.
Arnold - who was the boss of nurse Debbie Rowe, Michael’s ex-wife and the mother of the two children, when she met the late pop icon - has failed to deny the claims outright.
Speaking on US TV show ‘Good Morning America’ earlier this month, he said: “I can’t say anything about it, but to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children.
“I can’t answer it in any other way. I don’t want to feed any of this insanity that’s going around.”
Speaking on another TV programme, Klein admitted he had donated semen to a sperm bank but claimed to be unaware if Michael had used it to father Prince Michael and Paris.
Michael is said to have asked Arnold to father the children because he was so impressed with how intelligent he was.
The source added to Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper: “Arnold is brilliantly clever. He has a photographic memory and instant recall.”
Michael’s mother Katherine Jackson currently has temporary custody of Prince Michael, Paris and Michael’s youngest son seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket.
A custody hearing was due to take place on Friday (17.07.09) but has been postponed until August 3.
Katherine is seeking full custody of the children, but her lawyers are believed to be discussing the matter with Debbie, who is understood to want access to Prince Michael and Paris.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed Michael’s death could soon become a murder investigation.
Los Angeles police have reportedly already told Michael’s family - including sister La Toya, who recently insisted Michael had been murdered - they will be pressing charges imminently, which could lead to a trial.
Friend of the Jackson family Terry Harvey told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: “The autopsy shows that Michael died of a drug overdose with Diprivan and a range of pills in his stomach. He had needle marks on his neck and all over his body.
“The authorities have told the family the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are pushing for a criminal charge.
“It is likely to be second-degree murder, due to the actions which led to his death. They have been assured that someone, or maybe more than one person, will be brought to trial.
“The family are working with the DEA and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to work out which doctor prescribed Michael these drugs and how far back this serious problem runs.”
Diprivan is also known as Propofol, and is used to put people to sleep before surgery.
Terry also claims the Jackson Family may sue concert promoters AEG - who were behind Michael’s comeback shows in London - for “wrongful death”.
Referring to Michael’s father Joe, Terry said: “Joe Jackson has made no secret of his efforts to step in to get Michael to rehab while he prepared for his London shows. The question is how much did the concert organisers know about his drug problems and who was feeding him the drugs?
“I can see Joe filing a lawsuit against anyone who is found to have caused fatal harm to his beloved son. ”

The 7 Secrets of Michael Jackson

A warehouse in New Jersey is holding a incredible treasure - Michael Jackson's inheritance!

Inside the warehouse, dozens of dusty boxes are chaotically stacked upon one another. For years no one has taken any notice of them but they contain almost 500 items which belonged to the King of Pop.
Each item tells a story and some throw light on mysteries which have puzzled fans for decades.

• Unheard tracks
In an temperature-controlled sound room lie master copies of 26 unreleased songs by the Jackson 5.

• Platinum records
A platinum disc for his single ‘I’ll Be There’ which sold three million records – a real collectable!

• Jacko’s library

Lots of comics and illustrated books, many showing pre-pubescent boys.

• Self-portraits

Jacko painted himself as a clown crying and laughing. Other sketches show a face in which the large nose got smaller and smaller in each picture – a plan for his plastic surgery operations perhaps?

• The letter in which Jacko dumped Lisa Marie Presley
Three pages of careful handwriting like that of a small child. Michael wanted a divorce just one year into the marriage, for the astonishing reason: “I already have a Muslim wife.” Her name was An Khesena men.

• Whitening Cream
The tube of Eldopaque-Forte had been opened but the cap was stuck. Jacko always said that he suffered from a skin condition which made him paler.

• Personal photos
There are almost 15,000 shots. Some are of him smiling backstage during his Victory Tour in 1984, one is of him as a small boy bathing with his dad. Others are from family holidays.
