i think he could do more for society if he got into politics imo...

[Slo spurs fan]

His little girl crying and saying goodbye to him was gutwrenching. You'd have to have a heart of stone to not get choked up over that.

True, I cried like little girl. My older doughter is the same age.

I know I was thinking the same thing. Too bad though, the ones who should run never do. Then we get stuck with these empty suits like Obama....

It looks like a scandalous tell-all book about Michael Jackson is going to be released, and it covers everthing from his sexuality to his drug use, according to In Touch Weekly.

Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson by Ian Halperin is due out later this month, and one of the most shocking claims is that Michael wasn't a pedophile that liked to have sex with boys, but rather, the late pop icon preferred sleeping with men! An inside source who has read the book tells the mag that Jackson once picked up a construction worker in Las Vegas, and the two "regularly met at a motel. Michael would dress up as a woman. The lover admitted Michael made him sign a confidentiality agreement."

Due to Michael’s purported sexuality, Halperin claims that he never had sex with his second wife, Debbie Rowe, so he couldn’t possibly have fathered their children, Prince, 12, and Paris, 11. "None of Jackson’s three kids are his biological children,” the insider continues. "It was the worst-kept secret in Hollywood. But nobody dared bring it up to him. It was taboo.”

It was also taboo to confront Michael about his growing addiction to prescription pills. The book alleges that in March of 2009, the singer had taken so many drugs before a London press conference, that he was barely able to make an appearance. “He did a huge round of painkillers and injections before he arrived,” the insider reveals. “He was 90 minutes late and blamed his iness on traffic. It was a complete fabrication.”

According to ITW, the book claims that Michael was innocent of the molestation charges and that he was "a victim of extortion. This is what led to the heavy drug abuse and everything that followed.”

Sources tell X17online that the Jackson family is still hoping for a permit from Santa Barbara county to allow them to bury Michael at Neverland. In order to bury Jackson on the property, the family would need to get permission from local land-use officials and submit an application and paperwork with the state Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. The state application would then need to be approved by the funeral board, a process that could take anywhere from seven to 30 days.

Though we're sure the Jacksons could pull a few strings to expedite the process, Thomas Barrack, the co-owner of Neverland, supposedly sought an exemption to bury the singer at the ranch, and it's unclear whether or not he's willing to change his mind.

If Michael is buried at Neverland, it would essentially become the modern-day Graceland, and many believe it's the only logical place to bury the pop legend. I mean, could the Jackson family REALLY bury Michael at Forest Lawn? Think of all the families who have loved ones at that cemetery - wouldn't it turn the cemetery into a shrine for the king of pop and overwhelm the infrastructure there? And then there's the whole security issue too...

Maybe the fans should vote? Neverland makes so much sense, and we get the impression Michael would want to be buried there...

I'm shocked something like this would come out AFTER his death!!!

[manufan10]

In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigations into Jackson’s failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, the King of Pop was dead.

Don't know if that's true or not.. but if it is.

[ZombieMichaelJackson]

One of just many that will be published for quick cash. I'll just be using them to wipe my ass.

[manufan10]

Don't know if that's true or not.. but if it is.

Reading up on it, Halperin commented on the timing of the book: "I timed it because I knew around this time he was a candidate to die. I'm being totally up-front about that."

However, his publisher says this, "Halperin’s book was originally timed for the widely hyped London concerts that Jackson was scheduled to perform in London next month." Pierre Turgeon, president of Transit Publishing.

I hope people finally let the guy rest in peace...36 charities he was financially involved with..more than any other pop star...he gave and gave until he was in debt...gay, straight..I don't care. Everything about the guy just screamed "I want to help the world." You have to respect that.
