The celebrity world turned out en masse for the final tirbute to Michael Jackson. But two of his closest pals ---Liz Taylor and Diana Ross ---were not there.
Liz thought it was a silly circus. And Diana who was named in Michael's will,was told that his family was angry about it.Originally, Liz intended to speak at the jam-packed Los Angeles memorial service on July 7th. Liz was crushed when she heard Michael was dead.'Michael was very dear to her,and she sobbed for days,'said a long time friend. His first show in London was going to be dedicated to Liz. She was in the middle of packing when she got the call.But as the event snow-balled,Liz became appalled at what she called the "silly" circus,it had become.
"My precious boy is gone and those "Jacksons" are turning it into another Woodstock".
Diana Ross--who introduced the world to the "Jackson Five" in 1969--anguished over whether to attend Michael's tribute. Diana was like a second mother to Michael.She was in New York when she got the news and collapsed with grief. Shortly after his death,Diana was floored to learn Michael named her as the #2 guardian to his kids,the source said.
Of course she was flattered he chose her over his brothers and sisters,but then she became overwhelmed--first by the media attention and later by the ugly rumors that the Jacksons were upset that she was in the will at all. In the end, Diana decided to stay away from the tribute so she would not distract from Michael's death.
Deepening her pain,the former Supreme still can't get a break when it comes to the Jackson's clan, revealed the source.
The latest buzz is that some of Michael's siblings are grumbling that Diana dissed them all as a no-show."Poor Diana"is going through this nonsense while her heart is filled with pain over losing her friend.. My take on this : Most of Michael's siblings are a bunch of greedy jackals/vultures . But hey , that's just me. stay tuned: to be continued:
I'm sorry I didn't post this last night Nee.I was so tired I completely forgot.
ReplyDeleteI will come online at 9:00 pm your time.Please sign off when you get tired.I don't want to wreck your health.The babies will grow up seeing you tired and haggard.They'll think you're a drug addict.Luv and appologies...J
Jeannie...no appologies needed,it was very late when we logged off,I forgot you went shopping with Jaye,I am sorry I kept you from relaxing and surfing the web. I realize our eyes get tired with this thing jumping up and down. we can always leave each other notes about what is going own in our lives..I will see you here .Luv...NEE
ReplyDeleteJust see some good news on AOL..Patrick Swazye is going strong and have picked up some weigh...out and about in L.A.
ReplyDeleteHow is everyone?
So here I am,busy day.Tons to do.I'm getting more tired than I used to.I think I'll go out to a nice dinner with friends Dale and Barb on the weekend.They are simple down to earth folks.You don't have to be bright and witty with them if you don't feel that way.We've been friends for so many years.
ReplyDeleteYou'd like them.
How was your day?
You are kidding.Oh ,Nee, that would be wonderful.He's a nice man.Maybe we should give him a little space on the blog.It's unheard of that that particular cancer goes into remission.My dad didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of a remission.
ReplyDeleteMy day was all right,trying to get everything in order.
ReplyDeleteI think you should go out with tham and just let your hair down.
They just had a headline ,no pictures,I did a post on him when he went to his ranch to say goodbye and asked his brother to take care of his wife; I like Pat.
ReplyDeleteDale would get you laughing Nee.He has a joke for every occaision.
ReplyDeleteBarb is getting deaf but she won't wear a hearing aid and so we all have to talk loud.I sometimes have a sore throat when I get home.
Dale is so used to talking loud he does it all the time.
I have seen nothing of him anywhere else. I hope it's true,everyone I have talk to says he hads a slim chance of recovering.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a remission ,it may only be temporary.What a strong guy he must be.
ReplyDeleteI remember your post.At that point we thought it would be a couple of weeks at most.
I bet I would love Dale and Barb,I would be able to talk to barb,I know sign language.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing.You know a lot of stuff.Where and why did you learn sign language?
ReplyDeleteI don't htink Barb knows sign but I see her reading lips .
If Barb can't sign, I can talk loud.Hahaha the b/w pictures are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou're like me,I love black and white photos too.
ReplyDeleteI bet you can talk loud.
When I was about 8/9 after my mama died ,my daddy enrolled me in speech for the handicap.
ReplyDeleteShit, you can hear me in the next county..with my sweet little self.
ReplyDeleteDale is a big man ,so big,he had to have both knees replaced.He has broken so many of our lawn chairs over the years.
ReplyDeleteWhen we had a dealership,our partner owned a villa in Florida that we used.We took Dale and Barb and their kids down with us.They had never seen the ocean.They all ran in the ocean the minute they saw it to taste the salt.That started them travelling. They have been all over the world since then.
Did he do that because you stopped speaking ?
ReplyDeleteI realize that it's so much to do this time of year,it's not like winter when you can't get out. We can always leave a note telling the other when we will be here ,you have Nana to see about, and Brian hurt himself,and you are not feeling in the best of health all time.
ReplyDeleteSo they taught you to sign so you could communicate.
ReplyDeleteThey did not understand that you were not ready to talk.
If you would prefer to leave messages,that would be fine.You should spend more time with your hunky hubby.
ReplyDeleteI would miss talking too you though.You're part of my life now.I look forward to talking to you.
Either way is fine with me.Or a bit of both.We are not locked in to meeting every night.It was something Vix and I started.She waited for me.
Yes, the dotors told him they could see no reason why I didn't speak. Chis learned with me, he didn't want to go to college, he wanted to stay with me.Sis told daddy to make him go to school.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Chris loves you very much.They tried to fill your mom's place didn't they?
ReplyDeletelook at you now.Your family probably takes credit for all you have achieved and pat each other on the back.
Yes I know ..I would come in to listen to you and Vix talk,she deleted a lot of stuff that was said. I like talking with you,I just figured you were tired and wanted to rest.
ReplyDeleteI know Vix could talk about a lot of things, I only know my famoly and friends, they are the ones that is important to me.
I told Vix once to be careful about what she say, because she don't know who's listening.You would be surprise at the stuff I know.
I just didn't understand or get the meaning of what you said today. I felt like I was the cause of you being so tired last night or should I say this morning.[giggles]
ReplyDeleteVix delated a lot of our conversation.I think,anything that might give her away.She opened up to me and that put her in danger.
ReplyDeleteI never get too tired to talk to my good friend Nee.it's a nice part of my day.It helps to wind down to talk to a girl friend.I feel I could tell you things I don't tell anyone.If we weren't on the internet,I would.
I'm starting to love your family as if I know them.
You didn't cause me to be tired honey.Sometimes I still think I'm 21 and make too many demands on my poor old body.I used to be able to work all night, then cook breakfast for everyone.I can't accept that I can't do it anymore.I'm just getting old Sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThe loons feel like Vix will be out by the end of the year,and up to her old antics and start her fantasy all over again,they don't have to worry I wouldn't be there.
ReplyDeleteNow I know the extent of Vix's obsession.I don't think I would enable her or support her.
ReplyDeleteThere are snarky blogs all over the internet.I visited them(not so much any more)I thought vix's was just another snark blog at first.I didn't know about the stalker.Never heard about it.
It wasn't only about giving herself away,there was other things also.
ReplyDeleteI really don't want to talk about her, I think about the things she said about me, If I had it in me I could really dislike her, but I pity her.She has a black soul.
There was such a lot of material and information on DC to snark about.
ReplyDeleteOn to better things..I have a post about old Joe,and how he's trying to make money out of MJ's remains.
ReplyDeleteDid you know the Enquirer is going to give a way 2 albums of MJ's,I have that one also in posts.
You gotta admit,you've never seen or met Sammy and Jakey but you've started to love them just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteSammy still gets love letters from a girl who is the next thing to a stalker.He tries to be nice and polite to her but she hates that.She wants a committment.
Joe is a fascinating guy.Like an ugly black spider,you hate him but find him interesting in a shuddery way.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Joe really damaged MJ's testicles and if that information will be released in his autopsy.
ReplyDeleteYou know,while the family haggles about where to bury MJ, he's lying in a fridge somewhere,spoiling.
ReplyDeleteIn my post about 15 things, I made number 12 about Brian and also number 15.
ReplyDeleteIs Brian and Maxy being good? I know the answer to that question.
ReplyDeleteI was going to tell you ,but I logged off...we was talking about hunks and battle scars..one day my man butt is going to droop, his belly is going to get porky, and he do have one battle scar..he will always be my hunk.
Brian Is still your hunk,he looks the same as he did when you married him.. He has his battle scars and he wear them well, he went through hell to get them and he came back to you,so every scar he has is a labor of love...you are so blessed to still have him.
Damn straight.I wouldn't trade him.He 's a good man.He didn't deserve what happened to him.he hung on for a reason,first, for Jaye and now for Jakey I think.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I know the sammy and Jakey,how can I not love them,my baby has laid claim on Jakey ,she told her daddy he was little like her,she told Sharon she could have Sammy,she told Gil she was going to ask poppa to go get him for her.hahaha "POPPA is dad.
ReplyDeleteBrian is stretched out snoring.He had the stiches taken out today.It healed up pretty well.I'm not sure if he should go in swimming on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think I should write an advice and wisdom column. So many people is about material things,they don't see the whole picture.
ReplyDeleteI can see you writing a column like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at a seven day forecast.Rain every day till next Wednesday.Then we get sunshine for one day.Honestly Nee ,we are usually in the middle of a heat wave and a drought by now.
Go and enjoy the lake,but don't go swimming,just set on deck or go to the hidey spot and snuggled.
ReplyDeleteI was never able to prove what the greatest treasure ever found was.I'll figure it out.King Tut's tomb,The Shroud of Turin, pirate treasure?
ReplyDeleteSo you think he should keep the foot out of the water too?
ReplyDeleteSo do I.It was such a close call.
if he gives it another week, I'll feel okay about the swimming again.
ReplyDeletePeople don't believe our climate is changing, it's the same way here. I have seen the advice blogs,Nan says the people make up their own questions and answers.
ReplyDeleteHe can enjoy the lake and not swim,I know he love the water,one more week will do find.He don't want to get it infected.
ReplyDeleteDid you see what Jill said about Jakey.
Just pick a subject like 'should you marry a man for his money'?
ReplyDeleteAnd then give your opinion.
When I put my post's in draft they are ready to go...I write everything down and then post,if I don't it might grt thrown into outer space.
ReplyDeleteJill is so cute I want to give her a hug.SHe would probably get on famously with Jakey.She's like her mom,she makes up her mind and that's it.
ReplyDeleteThey might be friends someday,who knows.He'll put her in one of his movies.
There's probably a little alien in outer space sitting at his desk reading all your lost posts and mine.
ReplyDeleteHe's going to think everyone on earth is crazy.
If I ask that question all the bimbos form weirdwood would answer hell yes and if they had wives that would be better.
ReplyDeleteHA....Well let's think of a better subject.
ReplyDeleteSex is always a good topic.
When to introduce it into a relationship.First date,second date etc.?
Hahaha she do know what she wants,Nan asked Gil what he think, he he said Jakey family was well educated,he make movies and she would be his lawyer,keeping it all in the family,He said he don't think Jill's mama did to bad.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it's love and not just lust?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask,how big is Dale?
ReplyDeleteHow to know when to end a relationship(You want marriage and he keeps stalling)
ReplyDeleteI would say he is close to three hundred pounds.Barb is little like me.
ReplyDeleteI often wondered how they...no, I don't want to think about it.
Maybe I was in love,don't know now,but I sure was in a hellva lot of lust and when I did ,I never looked back,I think I was in love but scared,I was burned badly.The fool didn't give up,he told me I was going to be his and I said bull-shit.hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou played hard to get like I did.Brian asked me to marry him every time he saw me.We lived together for a while and he asked me constantly to marry him.I was reluctant because of the nasty divorce I had.That is something you do not want to repeat.
ReplyDelete[giggles] he sat her on the counter and walk into it like one of my nephews say he do his wife.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat at their house,I will keep looking at the counters wondering. Barb don't have to worry about the wrinkles,just push the belly back,she can't ride it,she can't get her legs that wide.hahaha
ReplyDeleteThat is so true,my divorce started out nasty,daddy wouldn't let Chris come,he sent Jon, daddy said Chris and I both would be in jail..He didn't know Jon was going to beat the shit out of him, Jon is so quiet and easy going.
ReplyDeleteIt's true Nee,I don't think she can get them that wide.OMG...change the subject.
ReplyDeleteI bet your ex never gave you a hard time again after Jon beat him.
ReplyDeleteLook at those posts and if you want to you can post them while you are deciding on the greatest treasure..
ReplyDeleteI'll post them for you,no problem.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can solve my problem.Too much conflicting data.
You have to know when to stop trying to figure something out.
ReplyDeleteThe post about 15 things I commented ,I will pick out which suit Gil and I best and let you know..Nan says she has an idea,she will tell me tomorrow so I can tell you.
ReplyDelete12,13, 14, 15.I think Brian and I own those four.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry it will come to you,just let it rest and you might get an idea later out of the blue.
ReplyDeleteOkay Tootsie, you go to bed.I worry about you.You have that big house to work on.I hope it is all coming together for you.Are you gong to get it professionally landscaped?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask if Gil learned to drive the boat he chartered.
I will tell you mine later,have to look again.
ReplyDeleteOkay sweetie it is after 12 my time ,let you get a little down time before you snuggle up to the rock.
I will say goodnite sweetie and sweet dreams..Luv ..Luv...PIC...NEE.. Nite Jeannie my friend...
