11 Nov Photos Of Michael Jackson’s Resting Place Leaked
The photos above are from TMZ. They were posted on November 8th without a photo credit and are of Michael Jackson’s tomb.
It appears the photos were from Karen Faye, a longtime Jackson employee, who did Michael Jackson’s make-up and is very friendly with MJ’s brother Randy Jackson.
Some people are led to believe that TMZ swiped these photos from Karen’s Face book page. However, if that were true, the photos would have been taken down by now or a credit would have been given as they have posted info from Face book accounts before. TMZ is too smart to swipe photos people.
Drfunkenberry.com has learned exclusively (Not exclusively as TMZ knows how much they paid) that TMZ paid over $100,000 for the photos.
TMZ has a policy of when paying for photos that it has to be the person who took the photos in the first place to be paid. They are not going to swipe photos from a facebook account or take them from someone second hand.
So, it had to be the person who took the photos, Karen Faye, or say someone close to Karen, such as Randy Jackson. You have to sign the agreement with TMZ as they now become the owners of the photos, so no photo credit is needed.
I am told that Karen took mementos from fans that were sent in as she sent out a message weeks prior that that she would be going to Michael’s grave site and would put what fans sent in around his tomb. The photos were posted on Karen’s face book page a few weeks ago and ended up on TMZ Sunday.
It’s interesting because if Karen wasn’t paid and since she is the owner of the photos, why are they still on TMZ? She is trying to make it sound like someone swiped the photos and gave them to TMZ but that is not the case.
I think it is highly WRONG that you are posting private photos of his tomb in the first place, weather on a face book account or not. Then to turn around and make a profit off of them when you say youwere posting it “for the fans” as you say, it just straight up unprofessional as a former employee and someone who claims to do Michael right.
Now, if any of this information is not true, you can contact me and prove otherwise. TMZ, if posting these photos with your watermark is wrong and want it taken down, you can contact me as well. TMZ owns the photos hence why the watermark is there and why Karen is not making a stink for the photos to be taken down or even taken off her face book page.
What do you think of these photos coming out and the circumstances around them?-Dr.FB

Posted at 05:38h, 12 NovemberI agree with all you about Faye behaviour, let alone karenland fanatics.
@Juliette
How do you know Karen was the only one to be fired and it was Michael who asked Ben Amar to do it ?
When do you say “she spoke of Michael with very bad words”, can you clear up what did she said?
I looking for and questioning a lot, I know. I’m also trying to sear for the truth, and as some of you said before it’s imposible to question anything on Karen FB….

Posted at 05:05h, 12 NovemberFaye was fired twice. The first one during History Tour, she says that Tarak Ben Amar fired all the employees of Michael to put his own employees for manipulating him better. It’s absolutely wrong, she was the only one to be fired and it was Michael who asked Ben Amar to do it. The reason was that this obsessed Faye was always in contact with fans through the net and commenting on “how big are the genitals of Michael” !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Knowing this, he was very upset and he fired her. The second was in 2005 : she created with Randy Jackson a site for giving news on the trial and she created a subscription of 50 $, Michael was once more very upset, he ordered to close the internet site and she was fired but she kept all the subscriptions already received. Before closing the site, she spoke of Michael with very bad words. An again when she was engaged for This is it, she spoke too much of the rehearsals on her facebook and Michael was constrained, once more, to tell her that in her contract there is a confidentiality clause and she must stop to release information. But the worst is not this.
The worst is that she says (on her facebook, I am not on her facebook, but some friends of mine are) she saw during the last three weeks before his death that the physical and mental health of Michal was deteriorating, he was freezing, very nervous, he does not eat and drink enough and he was loosing weight ; some fans told her that they were very anxious for the state of Michael and they wanted to alert his friends like Liz Taylor to help him and she replied “Yes I know, but do no do anything for his safe!!!!! what safe ??? now she is blaming AEG and Ortega, saying they are responsible for his death but if they are responsible, she is their accomplice, she did absolutely nothing to help MJ and she prevented the fans to help him, she must be sued for non assistance to a person in danger.
We must realize that if she helped Michael or let the fans helped him, to-day, he would be always alive.

Posted at 02:46h, 12 NovemberKaren was fully aware that the images of Michael’s resting place would be spread around. And yet she gets angry that just that happened. It was veryimmature of her. She should never put in the pictures in first place. So she must take the blame and not blame everbody else for her own misstake!

Posted at 02:33h, 12 NovemberIt is sad that so many uses Michael. Suddenly many claims that they were MJ’s best friend. I think like many of you here. But I wish that we will know the truth. If what Karen writes is true or not is hard to know. And whatever Karen writes she gets many comments. Sometimes it’s becomes ridiculous. I feel sad for MJ that he had so many people in life that not seem to love him for the man he was. Just beacuse he was King of Pop! And this vote for Shawn Is making me sick. That Is so tacky to use Michael’s fans for her nephew to win!!I wonder what Michael would have thought of that? A competition will be more exciting if it is not fished for votes. In this way he can not win honestly. And I feel sorry for the boy in that way!

Posted at 21:52h, 11 NovemberTHIS IS SO PAINFUL TO SEE !!! just a reminder that this is indeed real
Karen Faye should not be allowed to be a make-up artist and touch another face !! who told her to make his mouth bright red is beyond me so yes those who were in his circle will show their true colors whether or not they decide to profit from this….
*sigh* life was better on June 24th if only we could go back
Hmmmm
Posted at 21:50h, 11 NovemberI have done a lot of digging around with regards to Michael and company. The article reiterates much of what I already came to find out on my own, except for 1 major thing. It was NOT Randy Jackson that accompanied Karen to Forest Lawn, but Randy Taraborrelli, author of “The Magic and The Madness, Michael Jackson”. This is a huge error, and exactly how rumors are started. I hope Dr.Funkenberry.com corrects this information. For those of you that follow Karen, you will recall her mentioning that she visited Michael with a close family friend. If it were a member of the family, I am certain she would have said with a member of the Jackson family, even if she wanted to omit names.
This is very important, I hope people will pick up on this error.

Posted at 21:24h, 11 NovemberAccording to a fan who went to FL to the security guard reckons that none of the family have gone to visit the grave. The only people to have visited was Karen and her entourage (his words though i guess he means the fans), Stevie Wonder and i think they said Michael Bush. So I am not sure where Randy came into the picture. Also apparently about 200 fans go to FL every week.

Posted at 20:46h, 11 NovemberDoes anyone know if what this bloke writes could be true?
bit. ly/426JIb
“Further evidence that Jackson’s latest motto is ‘out with the new, in with the old’ comes in the shape of his former make-up artist Karen Faye. Faye was unceremoniously ditched after Jackson’s 2005 trial when he jetted off to the Middle East.
However, some insiders say Jackson was better off rid of her. Using the nickname ‘Turkle’, Faye had a tendency to visit fansites, whilst still under Jackson’s employ, and post messages about the size of her boss’s crotch.
Jackson, according to the Newshound’s sources, recently bought Faye an iPhone and a large plasma television to apologise for cutting her off. Sources say Jackson is planning to move back into Neverland and has provided Faye with his new phone number and invited her to visit him at the ranch.”

Posted at 20:22h, 11 NovemberI want the TRUTH about Michael–I believe that EVERYONE who had anything 2 do with Michael in the last 5 years of his life are SUSPECT. Karen, as someone put it above was just a “make up artist” who happened 2 become “friends” with her employer over the years. When someone is MURDERED EVERYONE is a suspect until the case is solved…even KAREN. I dont understand how someone like Karen who had access 2 Michael the last 6months could have failed so miserably 2 interviene. I understand why his family couldnt get 2 him or was kept at bay. Karen and Michael Lee Bush…how did they fail? Was it simply, they felt, not their problem? Did they not have time? Did they think oh he’ll be fine Michaels just being Michael? What happened? We all know the obvious culprits, AEG/SONY, MURRAY, K.O. but IMHO u look at the folks that were closest 2 the victim as well as the obvious. People in KARENLAND are dellusional and can not havea an intellectual conversation there—They see KAREN as an IDOL and MARTYR. this I do not understand. She want the star that fell, she wasnt the life that was lost. Perhaps her FB page is her way 2 cope with the emmense GUILT she must feel 4 betraying Michael, her so called good friend or not being there when he needed her most. Perhaps all this adoration from her disciples is her way of justifying her place as his friend. An affirmation or validation of sorts. Who really knows. What I do know is it should be screaming loud out of every news outlet in the world that KAREN FAYE is SUING somebody about HER pictures…but its not–i will continue 2 ask questions and keep my eyes open. I owe Michael at least that much…all for love…L.O.V.E
p.s.the word is that Karen used 2 run MJJSource with Randy Jackson–set up so the fans could be informed of Michaels trial through people in Michaels camp–Kinda like a “inside track”—the fans paid money 2 join and the site went up–A few post were made about the trials but the site was then taken down before the trials where even over–The fans where never given a refund on the defunked website…where do u suppose that money went to? Karen Faye publicly blamed Grace Rwianda [sp?] Siting that Grace stole the money etc—Grace…is the nanny in charge of takin care of Michaels 3 children…jealous much Karen?

Posted at 19:32h, 11 NovemberI’m not sure I can add much more at this point except a hearty “AMEN!!” with much gratitude and love to each of you for sharing your thoughts in a constructive manner, and creating an environment that encourages open discussion.
This is just the tip of the iceberg…

Posted at 19:32h, 11 Novemberi agree and lets start 😉
i am questioning something.
How is it possible that AEG kept going on with the O2 Arena
and “organizing” 50 concerts there….
that Michael even wasnt insured for,
instead of moving to Wembley with what makes 10 – 15 concerts
instead ?
I know that O2 belongs to AEG but many professionals were questioning the high amount and Michael complained to fans.
For all of them around Michael knowing him better it MUST have been clear that he cant make 50 concerts.
This means they knew before he will not make it , maybe thats why no costumes and all this stuff
what do you think about it ?

Posted at 18:43h, 11 NovemberLOL, ‘was also there’ …..
It is an obsession to a degree. I think we are all a little obsessed, or we wouldn’t be here posting comments, or a friend on Karen’s page either. There is no doubt that Michael’s passing has had a huge effect on all of us, and we all are interested in what really happened, whether we will really know or not is another story. The difference is we are able to be objective, question things and keep an open mind, rather than believe everything that is told to us like little children.
I have contemplated removing Karen from my list, but I will probably keep her on, just out of sheer curiosity. It’s just really sad– all of it…. Michael’s entire life, and the players in it… such a tragedy. What an amazing soul he was.

Posted at 18:35h, 11 NovemberI dont know if I was clear,
I feel so touched from him since his death, that I need to find out if he is… lets say it pathetic a star of light or fallen.
He knew how to keep the mistery 😉

Posted at 18:30h, 11 Novemberserious now…how you described michael…there are others !
I am not alone with this …
I want to find the truth
I need to
I could write a book myself after 4 months Michael Jackson ,
and I was or am NEVER a fan of him or anybody.
Its a little obsession…
so I understand how the fans are desperate like this.
But…how can I say,
I feel like in a George Orwell Book.

Posted at 18:15h, 11 NovemberDoes ANYONE know why Karen was fired in the 90’s? It’s like finding the answer to the meaning of life, LOL! Either people say “no she wasn’t” or they don’t know why she was.

Posted at 17:56h, 11 NovemberWow– today is the first time in months that I have found other people who admire and appreciate Michael Jackson, but who, well, get it. A real breath of fresh air, thank you!
Much, if not all of what Albertino writes is true. Ms Faye was let go, not once, but twice. The way she writes off every possible female companion is disturbing, it’s as if she really is jealous. We all know Michael had issues, and towards the end of his life (kills me to write that) he did not have much control on various aspects of his life. Terminating and rehiring seems to have been a running theme for him….. He was easily coerced into making certain decisions.
Chante, you are absolutely correct. All the talk about loving Karen and stuff blows me away. I have befriended a few from Karen’s page– received friend requests, and accepted. After accepting a few, I was bombarded with so many others, but have not accepted anymore. I have had a FB account long before I added Karen, unlike many that seemed to have created one precisely for Karen and MJ related stuff. Many that are on my friends list will post things like “I love you more” on my wall, send me virtual gifts and stuff without having ever met me– they do not know me, but just because we love Michael, we must all participate in this love fest?? No. I am sorry, but I take the work love very seriously, as the word hate. I will not use unless I absolutely feel it.
These people really are unstable, and are clinging on to Karen for life, it seems….. When I make my way over to check in, I see the same people day in and day out… I swear, how do these people live?? How do they make a living being on there 24/7??? It’s disturbing — sick, sorry… but it’s how I feel.
Thanks again to those that actually have your eyes wide open.

Posted at 17:50h, 11 NovemberCan I just say again that TMZ doesn’t own the pics? Splash Media owns the pics. Every other source that has posted the pics had given credit to Splash Media. Does Splash Media own TMZ? If not, I don’t get how TMZ gets to splash their logo all over the pics – and Karen didn’t sell them to TMZ. If anything, she sold them to Splash Media.

Posted at 17:39h, 11 NovemberI am glad that other people see what type of person Karen Faye is. She is a classic manipulator. Many of the people on that site attack anyone with a differing opinion with venom. It is if they are in a cult and whatever Karen says is gospel. They are in “Karenland”
And what really got me are the folks on the page pushing voting for this Shawn kid.Several even said that if you didn’t vote that you did not really love Karen. Love Karen? They don’t know this woman, yet they are drinking some serious kool-aid on her site. The day she told everyone that she had turned in her book proposal I knew what her game plan was.
I worry about the devoted followers on her page. They seem lost and troubled, they are on her page all day, they talk of crying all the time when they think of MJ and even crying when they don’t see an update from Karen. This is usually the behavior of people who are already unstable and seek to cling to others as their anchor in thier self-created reality.
Did Karen sell those pictures to TMZ? Of course she did! But she knows her brainwashed fans will never believe it because they live in “Karenland”

Posted at 17:38h, 11 NovemberMaybe she and Randy want to build a new fancommunity,
they run one before a few years already.
So people that are better informed than I am
can see with or against who “Karenland” is , nice name for the project 😉
Randy, Jay , Karen, for sure NOT Susan Etok !
Thats also really a piece of comedy to see ….
But again, thats not karens fault that peoples minds are so corrupted.
I came to her page because I thought she might be honest and that I can find information .
But of course this was naive…
MJs death is a huge event and now its the time to make money and not the time to investigate.
Even the authorities are quiet and its all like a long warm chewinggum.

Posted at 17:36h, 11 NovemberAlbertmo : When/why was Karen fired during the HIStory tour? I thought she was only let go after 2005 when a lot of others were let go as well?

Posted at 17:31h, 11 NovemberK. Faye has two facebooks so 10,000 readers, she is VERY dangerous, she is unfair, sneaky, she lies, she is exploiting and manipulating the real pains of her readers who are in the great majority addicted to her facebook. She knows perfectly well that among her readers, there are press people journalists, she said always do not share my facebooks but she knows perfectly well also, that many of her readers will do it and it is exactly what she wants. She took and sent the photos of Michael’s resting place without the family’s permission and when she goes to Forrest Lawn, she permits to unauthorized persons (fans) to go with her. She is violating privacy and laws. Now after this incident, she pretends to be annoyed but in fact she has reached her purpose. Normally, she would be more careful, no she does exactly the contrary, she continues to give more and more details on the privacy of Michael Jackson. she is jealous of all women that were near him, saying that they were invasive fans and says that Michael was laughing of them with her, and that it’s impossible MJ was very respectful towards women, he was a gentleman. She says that he was extremely jealous of all her husbands and boyfriends, that he did not want to share her with others, (she transforms her desires for realities). She is mentally unstable. Some people thinks that she never betrayed MJ, it’s wrong, he fired twice, the first one was during History Tour and the second one in 2005 after the trial. The problem of Faye is that during 25 years she saw her boss attracted by different women, but never by her and she is greatly frustrated and jealous. Now she knows that she will become more and more ignored and she is trying that this will be the latest possible and after having her book. She pretends to have being the greatest confident of MJ, in fact she knows of him what everybody knows, he never talk with her about his very private life. She has always betrayed MJ and she continues. I have read on many MJ forums that she banned, they are disgusted by her bad behavior and refuse to speak of her anymore. Please people who are reading her facebooks, open your eyes, wake up, she is exploiting your sorrow, you are in a period of psychological weakness, you need to speak to somebody who was an employee of MJ, but you have choosen the wrong one. Lize Taylor, Macaulay Culkin, Frank Tyson, Chris Tucker do not speak of MJ, because they are real true friends and remember MJ himself said ‘Those who know, don’t speak, those who speak don’t know.

Posted at 17:19h, 11 NovemberSorry but I believe Karen Faye and TMZ is doing nothing but turning everyone against MJ’s family and friends meanwhile saying absolutely nothing about the businessmen who may have something to do with his death.
It’s just like when he was alive except now they are targetting his family.
