...or so the rumor goes.
I heard this on the radio this morning as a tribute to their father, Michael Jackson's children - Prince, Paris, and Blanket, might be singing. There is also a rumor that they just may make an appearance.
Janet Jackson talked to Robin Roberts (Good Morning America) about her brother's drug problem, however, she says she wasn't aware that he was using Propofol. Unless you are in somebody's home on a daily basis to see their bedtime routine and how he fell asleep, how would you?

In the United States, we have a presumption of innocence (innocent until proven guilty). Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted by a jury in 2005 of the 14 counts against him. He was found not guilty and walked out a free man. Why is he still presumed guilty?
Rep. Peter King (New York) had this to say:
"He was a pervert, a child molestor; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?"
He was ACQUITTED by a jury! Who can prove without a reasonable doubt that Michael Jackson was guilty? Anybody? Not Peter King I would imagine. I find it funny that a politician has something so harshly critical to say when so many politicians have so many skeletons hanging in their closets, they probably need crowd control for all of them. If he can't respect a decision made in a court of law, a government institution, then perhaps he should give up his own government job.
The man is dead. He was a musical genius. If people want to celebrate the life of a man who was acquitted of charges, who brought them years of joy in his music, then let them! At a time when children are burying their father, I think critics should shut the heck up at least until he's at his final resting place. This man, no matter what your opinion of him, had children. If his daughter's speech at his memorial service is any indication, those children adored their daddy. Let them grieve for their father without having to worry about things adults should know better than to say in an arena where they could hear it. Would Peter King walk up to Michael Jackson's kids and say that? If not, shut your mouth.
...and it made me cry.
Seeing a child deal with the grief over the loss of a parent she obviously loved brought me to tears. Whatever your opinion of Michael Jackson, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson obviously adored her daddy.
"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, her tiny voice cracking. "And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."
Watching her struggle to say this and then throwing herself into her aunt's arms...we forget that behind all of the celebrity, these are just kids who have been protected as much as possible by their father from all the media frenzy. They're kids.
The live feed can be found here. Brooke Shields just made me tear up. Sad.
Read more...I'm seeing reports that OK Magazine paid about half a million dollars for the rights to publish pictures of Michael Jackson on the stretcher. I've read it is of him as he lay dying. Wasn't he basically dead at home since he was never revived unless there's a news report I haven't seen yet?
OK Magazine - that is in very poor taste, bad judgment and just outright disgusting! Have some respect! Who would want a death photo of Michael Jackson or anybody for that matter?
