Hello dear members!
Dr Murray's video and burial announcement still making headlines.
This is what we have so far:
What Michael Jackson's Doctor Didn't Do
TV Host, Past Addict and Author Speaks Out on the Michael Jackson Overdose
Who is to blame for Michael Jackson's Overdose? What Dr. Conrad Murray doesn't say in his August 18th You Tube Announcement is much more important than what he actually confesses. Cooked in LA author and TV reporter Paul Cook says the family is right.
On the heels of Michael Jackson's personal doctor making his first public statement, "I did all I could do", addiction author Paul Cook reveals an important discovery of medically required actions the doctor apparently did not take for his sick patient.
"Michael Jackson was a sick man," says TV Reporter, author and former pain medicine addict Paul Cook. "In his last year of life Michael tripped a very important red flag that should have caused Dr. Conrad Murray to insist that Jackson get help for his addiction. Short of lip service the doctor allegedly did nothing.
Authorities say they are on the trail of 4 or 5 doctors doctors that were writing pain prescriptions for Jackson. All share some responsibility says the author of Cooked in LA, but the addiction specialist reveals that Jackson's personal doctor should have taken Michael through a very specific set recovery steps to save Michael.
As LAPD and DEA officials begin a search for manslaughter evidence, Author of Celebrity Book, says Michael Jackson's Assistants are certain to be the next target.
"You are being showered with gifts, money and attention. As an assistant you do things you never thought you would do, but you begin to care about the celebrity so you do it," says Cooked in LA author Paul Cook.
Now a TV news reporter, Paul Cook was a P.A. to Academy Award nominated director Jason Reitman and others. His book, Cooked in LA, describes the intense and exhausting process of attempting to become personal assistant to the Highest Grossing Producer in Hollywood History. Jerry Bruckheimer would insist that his assistants do outrageous things for him like taking his dog's stool samples to the doctor for him.
People closest to Michael Jackson had to put him to bed many a night wondering if their boss would wake up the next day.
Michael Jackson was in high spirits. Earnings on this tour would have brought him new celebrity and financial wealth. Jackson was set to rule the video game world as well with a brand new Michael Jackson video game coming out on Playstation 3 and Wii. Why Did Jackson Risk it All? Did the people around him let Michael down?
Radio and TV personality, Paul Cook, knows why. The author of COOKED in LA shows you that Michael Jackson may not have been much different than the type of addict many families in the world deal with.

Jackson Family Feared Body-Snatching
So Says His Biographer, Who Adds They Also Were Concerned The Pop Icon's Body Would Be "Vandalized"
(CBS) A family spokesman says Michael Jackson will be buried next Saturday.
Aug. 29 would have been the King of Pop's 51st birthday, which Jackson biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli calls "sort of ironic and also really sad."
Jackson will be laid to rest in the Grand Mausoleum at famed Forest Lawn Memorial Park in th Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, Calif., in a private ceremony.
"Because Forest Lawn is a private, gated cemetery," "Early Show" national correspondent Hattie Kauffman notes, "fans will never be able to make a pilgrimage to Michael Jackson's crypt."
"There was a LOT of concern," Taraborrelli told Kauffman, "about kidnapping the body, about vandalizing the body."
He adds emotions played a role in the family taking two months to decide the final fate of Jackson's body.
"They just didn't want to let Michael go," Taraborrelli says. "To a lot of people in the family, this really is the final moment that they've dreaded for a long time."

MJ’s sister working for his charities to cope with his death
Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya has enveloped herself into charity work to battle the grief caused by her brother’s sudden demise.
She has taken over campaign work for the late King of Pop’s beloved good causes.
The ‘Thriller’ hitmaker’s sister has been working alongside the AIDS Project Los Angeles movement since the superstar’s death in June this year.
La Toya has revealed that her family members are all finding their own way to work through the bereavement.
“We’re doing the best that we can,” Contactmusic quoted her as having told E! Online.
She added: “Everyone has just been going through what they’re going through at the moment. It’s a very trying time for all of us.”
The singer is donating revenue from her new single ‘Home’ to the AIDS charity.
And she has insisted that the best way for her to cope with her brother’s death is by throwing herself behind causes he supported.
She added: “It means a lot to me because as you all know, my brother has given to so many organisations, and this is one of the organisations he’s been giving to for over 10 years.” (ANI)

MJ’s death sends his songs’ sales soaring
Sales of Michael Jackson’s hit songs have been soaring since the sudden death of the star on June 25.
British music publisher Chrysalis Group said Jackson’s untimely death led to an “extraordinary surge in the sale of his work.”
These include the singer’s popular tracks such as “Thriller”, “Rock With You” and “Off The Wall”.
But Andy Mollett, chief financial officer, said that the effect of Jackson’s death on profits was difficult to determine.
“We would have got royalties anyway with his 50 live shows at the O2,” Sky News quoted Mollett as saying.
“I can’t say how much we will make from this as there is always a lag from when one of our songs are played and when we get paid,” Mollett added.

Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
