Video: Michael Jackson “This Is NOT It”

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment on October 13th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

Here is a campaign started by Michael Jackson fans entitled; “This Is Not It” and either features some pretty powerful stuff or some off the wall (no pun intended) claims, depending on who you are.

I ask you to watch it and give your honest opinion. They have a better clip on the site ThisIsNOTIt but not for me to embed or other sites. They may want to change that OR contact me to where it is and I will gladly put it up.

For now, watch this and let me know what you think. Randy Phillips, where you at?-Dr.FB

Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” Written For Someone Else?

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on October 12th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

Here is Michael Jackson’s “new” song called “This Is It” sung by Saifre? 17 years ago?

Well, this is interesting. It seems Michael Jackson’s “This Is It”, which was written in 1991, was given to the female singer Safire and was written with Michael and Paul Anka.

What gives? He names the tour that was to take place before his death “This Is It” so it seems there were plans(?) to go into his unreleased catalog and release it….or was it all some weird coincidence?

Safire had a HUGE HUGE hit in 1987 called “Let Me Be The One” and is a freestlye classic. “This Is It” was to be released on her “I Wasn’t Born Yesterday” CD but was never released.

Sony? AEG? Any explanation?

Michael Jackson fans, how do you feel?-Dr.FB

Michael Jackson Update: AEG Out “30 Million”

Posted in Celebrity News on August 7th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

Katherine Jackson won and Michael Jackson will be buried soon at Forest Lawn. The brothers were hoping to bury him at Neverland and make money off of him by making Neverland an attraction. Gotta love family, right?

Also, AEG’s iron clad insurance policy they took out on Michael before his death isn’t so iron clad after all according to TMZ.

They state that The Lloyd’s of London policy — taken out by AEG in case Jackson didn’t perform his London concerts — did not cover death related to illegal drug use.

AEG claims they are $30 million in the hole n the policy was for $17 million. What happened to that $60 million made of rehearsal footage?

The Jackson Family Estate Battle Is Getting Dirty

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment on July 29th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

L. Londel McMillian, the Jackson Family lawyer has issued a statement making it clear he wants Katherine Jackson to be a co-executor and that she is not being let to see the contract Michael Jackson signed with AEG.

McMillan claims the co-executors are imposing unreasonable demands on Katherine — requiring her to make special promises of confidentiality for the benefit of AEG.

The co-executors have maintained all along they were the ones Michael selected to manage the estate and they are doing their job.

TMZ will keep covering and I will keep getting frustrated how so many stories came out of one man’s death.-Dr.FB

AEG has just sold over 80 hours of Michael Jackson’s This Is It rehearsal footage to SONY. As we told you yesterday, SONY plans to make a movie out of the footage and then release it as a DVD.

We knew the deal would get finished quickly as AEG was doing the deal directly and without any involvement from the Jackson Family.

$60 millon dollars? Guess AEG did make a profit off his death now didn’t they?-Dr.FB

It seems that the “This Is It” rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson may just get released. The reason? AEG has full say in the matter and the Jackson Family has none.

AEG claims to have over 80 hours of rehearsal footage, which has Sony offering about $50 million to release it.  Also, they would release it in theatres this fall.  It would be a movie around the footage.

So this brings us to a poll question; (No, not a stripper pole silly) Would you be interested in it?-Dr.FB

Since his passing June 25th, Michael Jackson’s CD sales have topped 9 million.  OK, I can’t be the only fool who had everything he had done.  Didn’t everyone own MJ’s stuff just to see what he was up to? Ridiculous.

9 million? Read the article here.

Seems just like AEG MJ was worth more dead than alive to SONY as well.  Just sayin.-Dr.FB

AEG Covered For MJ’s Overdose + MY Thoughts On Ticket Situation For Memorial

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment on July 3rd, 2009 by drfunkenberry

AEG

If Michael Jackson would have died from natural causes, AEG would be more screwed than Jenna Jameson back in the 90’s. Lucky for them, he died of a drug overdose, which is covered. A death of natural causes, not so much.

The insurance policy, which was taken out, covered them for $17.5 Million dollars. Randy Phillips wants to let us know that the policy will still fall short on money already spent on things such as Micheal’s advance pay, producing the show, paying some of MJ’s debts, along with staff and rent, which is said to be around $30 million dollars.  

It’s hard to feel sorry for a company like AEG, who is taking a hit from this, from myself and others. The o2 Arena being empty is killing them.  One thing though; just be honest.  If you want to charge $25.00 for a memorial service, just be real and say this:

 ”Look, we dropped a lot of money into this and we are really in the red.  We do not want to charge for the service, but we have to.  We also will be selling t-shirts that would have been sold at the o2 Arena shows to recoup some of that money and pass the shirts on to the fans. We regret having to do this in these economic times, but we had to. We appreciate your understanding in this situation and thank you for your support.”

Now, if they came at us like that, people would understand and then you wouldn’t have had to quickly turn around and have a PR nightmare where you have to now “give away” 11,000 tickets.  Be honest and be real, and you will be respected.  Peace.-Dr.FB

Michael Jackson will be layed to rest next Tuesday, July 7th.

There will be a memorial service. It will be at the Staple Center in Los Angeles.

Tickets will be $25 dollars and the event will have videos along with state of the art sound. Just what you always look for in a funeral, right?

Also, since AEG has them printed up, you will be able to purchase “This Is It” merchandise outside of the Staple Center includong t-shirts.

Diana Ross has already confirmed she will be there.

I will keep you updated. A funeral that just turned into an event. Hoping AEG is not just about dollars because this deal makes no sense/cents.-DrFB

AEG will give a full refund to fans who purchased tickets to Michael Jacksons’ This Is It tour at the O2 Arena. If they want a ticket as a souvenir though, they will have to pass on the refund.

Seriously?  What about a $10-15 charge for the ticket instead?  The full amount of the ticket they will have to pass on?  Ouch.

What do you guys think about that?-Dr.FB
