Message From The Estate Of Michael Jackson
.
Michael Jackson was always giving items to friends, fans, sick
children he visited and others he met throughout his life. As a result, the
Estate does not own all Michael Jackson costumes and/or other pieces. Many
people now possess different Michael Jackson items, and those items are the
property of those individuals; the Estate cannot control what private
citizens do with their own
property. But all of Michael's fans can rest assured that while the Estate may
not have every single item ever worn by Michael as a result of his own
generosity, the Estate does have more than enough costumes and fashion
accessories along with all Michael's other possessions to enable the Estate to
create a museum/exhibition for fans to enjoy and to honor Michael appropriately.
Any fans who attended the Michael Jackson Fan Fest exhibit in Las Vegas last
year saw that. Everything that was part of that exhibition was and remains
Estate property and there is more property that was not displayed. Although it
is premature to do so now, the Estate looks forward to sharing its future plans
with then fans at the appropriate time.

find that the late John Kensington has left his entire fortune to Ella. As one
may imagine Dahlia, the stepmother is perhaps a little upset. In an attempt to

“Well, Geraldo, it’s because of my fans that I’m calling you
today. I mean, I feel they’re the best fans in the world, and I decided, rather
than having anyone else speak for me that I would do it myself. You know?.. And
I wanna thank my fans for their strong support over the years… They could’ve
been anywhere today, you know, and they chose to be in New York on Time Square.
And I wanna thank them from the bottom of my heart. They’ve written thousands
and thousands of letters and have made hundreds of calls regarding the
[offensive] Eminem video, (for ‘Just Lose It’). And I love them so so much. In
London, over four thousand people showed up on my behalf and I wanna thank
Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, Minister Farrakhan, The Source,
Steve Harvey, Bob Johnson and BET, Cathy Hughes and Radio One and all the many
others who have supported me, you know? And Geraldo, I wanna also thank you for
your friendship and.. everything, all the wonderful things you’ve been doing,
thank you so so much […] I’m always working on wonderful music and I’ve been
working on several albums right now, I’ve been working on music today, I’m
working on something as we speak, Geraldo, and I’m in the process of making
plans to do some other wonderful things that I’ll be announcing to the fans very
very soon. And I look forward to that, Geraldo, you know?.. […] I love my fans,
I love – I love you and thank you so much for being there on my behalf and thank
you, Geraldo again, thank you so so much.”

MJ Facts For
NOV 10th
..

their first European tour in Manchester, England.

Hampton, Virginia

2001 - TV GuideMagazine Interview
..
On some of his best friends:
..
"Elizabeth
[Taylor], [Marlon] Brando, Gregory Peck, these are very close friend of mine.
Either they’re much older than me or much younger. I’ve never had real contact
with a person my age level. I think this happened because all my life I played
clubs, since I was 5 years old. I saw people drunk, fighting, and it was just
disgusting. When people say to me today, “Hey, let’s go to a club”, I go, “No
way”
..
On coping with transitioning from child to adult
stardom:
..
“[…] This is true, and this is not
to be taken lightly. People who grew up as child stars have the same thing in
common. You’re cute, they love you; you go through the awkward stage, they don’t
accept you anymore. Very few make the transition to adult star. And most of them
become self-destructive. And it’s very sad. […] [In my case] I think religion
entered in”.
..
On insulting appellations addressed to him by
[tabloid] press:
..
“But that’s not nice [when
people call me Wacko Jacko]. They do that because they’re jealous. I haven’t
done anything. I go to hospitals and orphanages. And we take huge bags of toys.
I spend thousands of dollars. What’s so wacko about that? […] I did [the] Oprah
[show], I did [the] Diane Sawyer [show]. [People] saw me. [The press] is just
completely jealous. And it’s just one of those things that I have to deal with.
[…] I turn it into positive energy [though]. And I write about it; it’s in my
movement, it’s in the expression of my face. And it becomes part of me, part of
my creation. And I try not to let it get to me. Because if you do, you’ll go
crazy.”
..
On his favorite T.V. show:
..
“[…] My favorite show is ‘Malcolm In The Middle’. It reminds me so much
of [my brothers and I] when we were little. […] [I relate to] Malcolm. Mainly
because he tries to fit into society, and he doesn’t – like E.T. or Bambi, he
can’t adjust to other people’s concepts. And I feel like that a lot of times.
Once I’m offstage, I feel awkward, like this is not where I’m supposed to be.
[…]”
On his mission of helping others:
"I’ve
always done that, yes. […] I’ve done it all my career: "Heal The World", "We Are
The World"; "Will You Be There", "Man In The Mirror", about the planet, earth
songs. […] because that’s where my heart is. I care. My biggest dream is to have
a Children’s Day, where children can bond with their parents."
..
On
the source of his affinity for children:
..
"[…] I never had a childhood. When they’re in pain, I
feel their pain. And when they’re in despair, I feel their despair. I have such
concern about the plight and the state of our children today. If there was one
day where kids could get with parents and bond, this would make such a
difference. […]"
..
On his children, their education, and
fatherhood:
..
“[…] [My children go with me]
everywhere I go. […] [When they start school,] I’m going to build a computer
school on the grounds [of Neverland]. With other children. […] How can they go
into society.? He’s Prince Michael Jackson. She’s Paris Katherine Michael
Jackson. It would be too difficult.” “I
try my hardest [to be a good father]. I try to bring them a lot of fun. Once a
year, I dress up like a clown, with the whole gear – the nose, the paint. And I
give them candy and cookies. […] And ice cream.”
..
..
2008 - Michael Jackson sends a note to fans
gathered in front of his rented property at the time, in Los Angeles,
California, which reads: "You make me sooo happy, I can feel your energy through
the walls. The sky is the limit. Higher consciousness always. [I’m] working
hard, as always, [on] music, film, performance. I love you, Michael Jackson"
