Michael Jackson Was Addicted To Scientology
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Michael Jackson in the news, with Jackson the drug “addict”, the death bed and the Church Of Scientology…
The Scotsman: “Jackson described as an ‘addict’”
Now he’s dead you can describe him however you like…
AUTHORITIES investigating Michael Jackson’s death referred to him as an “addict” and were seeking evidence related to the powerful anaesthetic propofol, according to search warrants.
The Western Australian: “Scientologists behind Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Marie.”
Among other contentious claims, Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson also provides further details of the king of pop’s alleged gay lovers…
In one chapter, Halperin hints that Jackson’s marriage to Elvis’ daughter and Scientology follower Lisa Marie Presley may have been organised by the Church of Scientology.
The marriage was labelled as a sham but both parties always denied it was a fake affair set up to improve the singer’s reputation soon after a child molestation case was settled for $US20 million ($24.49 million).
The religion had apparently wanted to desperately recruit the mega-rich singer and perhaps help him overcome his alleged homosexuality, Halperin said.
Such are the facts.
Examiner: Omer Bhatti is not my son - but he is my grandson…

NewsDay: “Choosing a guardian can be a couple’s hardest task”
The husband and wife went back and forth, back and forth. Yet however long they talked, they couldn’t agree on who should take care of their young kids if, heaven forbid, something happened to both of them. And so they made an unusual agreement, according to their lawyer: If the children were orphaned in an even-numbered year, the guardian would be the wife’s choice, from her family. And if it happened in an odd-numbered year, it would be the husband’s choice, from his side.
Such a compromise is certainly odd, but it shows what an emotionally fraught process it is to choose a legal guardian for one’s children. It’s a procedure that’s getting renewed attention these days because of the battle over Michael Jackson’s children. But it’s something with which ordinary parents also struggle.
Mangalorean: Jim Reeves & me.
The tribute to Jim Reeves was adeptly organized by the Mangalore Ladies Circle with the proceeds all committed to charity…
Max Karkada’s voice has an uncanny resemblance to Jim Reeves’ and years of perfecting the songs, has made his voice an almost exact replica of Jim Reeves.
A surprise addition to the evening was a moving rendition of Heal the World’ by Michael Jackson, where children and adults alike lit up candles and swayed to the tunes of the song. An apt tribute to the King of Pop who recently passed away.
Daily Mirror: “JACKO IN DOC’S BED AT DEATH”
Victoria Ward reads the internet:
Michael Jackson spent his last night in his doctor’s bed, not his own, it was claimed yesterday.
Us website TMZ claim that the singer used Dr Conrad Murray’s room to take the powerful anaesthetic Propofol each night because he did not want people going into his room.
Do you think Jackson was poorly? And get me the death bed for the Neverland theme park.
ET Online: “La Toya Jackson: Keeping Michael’s Legacy Alive”
La Toya Jackson is dedicated to keeping brother Michael Jackson’s legacy alive, and she’s doing her part with a new Public Service Announcement in an ET exclusive…
“I’m here to ask you to keep my brother Michael’s dream alive,” says La Toya. “
The deam where he’s being eaten by a giant ice-cream?
A dream where there’s no discrimination, a dream where people are not suffering from the HIV or AIDS virus.
More of a hope than a dream. Let’s keep it real, people…

Unless 50 is the new 25 he was not a young man

I wish people could be a little more positive about Michael’s happy part of his life, he was a sweet young man, soft spoken, very loving, minded his own business, he loved God, he loved his children, he loved people, and he loved the world, the children, he said the world is delicate and we should treat it as such. I will miss his singing and dancing routines, he was a true artist, musician, singer, dancer. However, when Michael got up on the stage, oh my, he became “macho man”, an extrovert. But off stage, he became introverted. He was himself only when singing and dancing. He had a beautiful heart, it came out in the words of his songs. RIP Michael and family.
PS: Hope the children will be very well taken care of, there are so many Jacksons to help out, and most importantly, is hope, hope the children will not be brainwashed nor confused with the media - about negatives that they will hear and see as they grow up, so that they will always respect their father’s good name, music, and love.

…once again the true purpose of this site has been completely missed…..

I’ve read Unmasked and that’s not what the chapter is about at all. It wasn’t Michael who was addicted to Scientology. However, it is stated that the marriage was “arranged” if you will to entice Michael into joining the religion. But the headline for this article is way off base. Michael had no interest in the religion whatsoever. He saw it as a money scam. I don’t know the book makes interesting points about the court cases, but as for him being gay and the marriage a farce, well it’s all hearsay. Besides, Halperin is a bit narcissistic. He claims he posed as a model to get “behind the scenes”, but I’ve seen him. A model he is not. I’m not sure who he thinks he’s foolin’.

Once again idots come out of the woodwork with stories about Michael now that he is gone and can’t defend himself. They appeal to the naive and ignorant and the rumors start to flourish. Lisa Presley stated herself that the marriage was not a “sham”….that they truly loved each other. Some people cannot understand innocence….they feel there must be an alterior motive if one cares so much for children. How sad….how wrong……
but it takes a criminal mind to assume someone else thinks as they do.

Hang on? If they’ve printed it does that mean it’s not true?

Once again the facts have been distorted in this piece of shit article. Wait for the toxicology report, Dr. Murray’s statement and those of other people close to Michael. Rest assured, the man had nothing to do with Scientology. You people are so disgusting and so very wrong.You don’t have the nerve to print this comment because it’s true.
