In the pic with Michael ~ James Van Norman who worked as a bodyguard for Michael Jackson for almost 10 years and testified at his trial.

For the last three of those, he also managed the Neverland Ranch. Van Normon, who is currently living in Ahwatukee, says he was absolutely devastated when he heard the news of Jackson's passing, saying that he didn't believe it at first.

He remembers Jackson as man who was, "just a big kid at heart," and someone who devoted a lot of energy and time to helping sick and underpriveliged children everywhere.

Van Norman wants everyone to remember Jackson as the thoughtful, kind and generous person that he was.

"He was a loving caring generous person, and he really was," said Van Norman. And if you didn't know him then you can't say the things that people do say about him sometimes."

* Lovely story to read * ~ Thomas Käppeli on meeting Michael and opening the first Michael Jackson Museum, ~ On August 28, 2009, on Michael's 51st birthday, the first Michael Jackson Museum in the world was opened in Steffisburg, Switzerland. The Museum, housed in a restaurant Brasserie, which is available for corporate parties and events, houses 40 unique pieces of ‘Michael memorabilia . Gold records, handwritten notes and autographs, the original ‘We Are The World’ Contract and a rare Award for hundreds of millions of records sold are displayed in the whitewashed cellars which is open free to visitors.

The Museum was opened by Thomas Käppeli, who first met Michael in Switzerland in 2001 when Michael was in Gstaad. [Liz Taylor’s chalet]. Käppeli had previously been in contact with Michael’s management in order to clarify the rights to the name ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson for his former bar. Käppeli was invited by Michael to the chalet in Gstaad, but confesses that he burst into tears with excitement before meeting Michael. On entering the chalet he was greeted by Prince and Paris who were completely fascinated with Käppeli’s freckles!! Michael himself greeted him politely and wanted to know everything about the King of Pop Bar, which was opened in 1998. Before the meeting came to an end, Michael signed photos that Thomas had brought with him. On a pink napkin from Liz Taylor's kitchen, he wrote a dedication under his signature: "love the children". As if all this were not enough, Michael gives the overjoyed Käppeli a teddy bear before saying goodbye. All of which are displayed at the museum.

Michael and Käppeli stayed in contact with Käppeli sending Michael a booklet containing photos of Events held at the Bar. In 2002 he was invited to Mandalay Bay to meet Michael. During this time he met with Michael several times, one or twice spent time with Michael in his limo where Michael on one occasion asked if he wanted a photo with him!. What a question? Out of courtesy Kappeli had not asked for a photo. Michael was also fascinated with the tattoo of Michael that Käppeli has on his back. At this last meeting Käppeli had told him about his dream to open a museum. Michael was very excited and told him they would be sure to work together. "Michael wanted to open the museum in Zurich and had immediately said “Everything should then be equipped with white tiles and blue neon lights," From photos Michael had also admired a statue that stood outside of the bar, when Michael realised the statue was carved from wood he wanted to have one and Käppeli vowed to make Michael another carved figure ready for when he next visited Switzerland.

Michael’s signature invalidates passport! ~ So that Käppeli's Las Vegas stay could be extended he checked with the airport ~"When I checked in at the airport, the officials did not accept my passport!" "When Michael had signed me some photos he took my passport and wrote .” Love, Michael Jackson " ~ What is this, the officials wanted to know. The explanation that it was an autograph from the King of Pop, only resulted in a fit of laughter of the airport staff. The passport was invalid. Luckily, Thomas had already developed the two photos with Michael and could show the unbelieving officials. Only with persuasion he managed to keep the Passport with Michael's autograph which stands today in a showcase at the museum.

Though the two had agreed to meet again on Michael’s next visit to Switzerland, since the end of 2002 Kappeli heard no more from Michael. Due to later serious health reasons caused by laryngitis, falling into a coma and during which he became the first person in Europe to survive chocking on the laryngitis, and 2 years of rehabilitation Kappeli was forced to close the ‘King of Pop’ bar in 2004. However, in 2009 true to his word , he finally realised his dream and reopened the bar and ‘The King of Pop Museum’. During Kappeli’s stay in LV he also met James Brown who on giving him an autograph said ‘Michael’s friends are my friends’ As one of Michael’s great role models this autograph is also displayed at the museum.

"Michael I admire not only as a musician, Michael is for me the most wonderful person I could ever meet," Thomas Käppeli continues and: "I am convinced that Michael is with us today."

The museum is accessible for free. The exhibits are conducted by Stephan Linder restaurant Brasserie 98 housed in Steffisburg. opening times, directions and further information: ~ http://<wbr>www.king-of-pop-museum.ch/<wbr>76/King-of-Pop-Museum.html

In the pic with Michael ~ There are very few Czechs who can say: I have known Michael Jackson ~ One of them is the famous Czech chef Vaclav Juza (71) in pic with Michael taken in 1994, who revealed: "Michael had a starry mannerisms and loved mutton!" Lightning gave an exclusive story.

Edited from translated source ~ "I was born in Prague, but in 1961 I emigrated to America," "In New York, I met with Ms. Trump, who later called me and asked me if I would like to go to work for them" and for several years has become part of the family of Donald and Ivana Trump. . He was with them in Palm Beach when in 1994 Michael Jackson just spent the honeymoon with the daughter of the king of rock and roll, Lisa Marie Presley.

"Jackson was a close friend of Trump, often they were in contact, so it was no surprise that he decided to spend the honeymoon with them," says the Czech chef. For six days, and Mr. J&#367;za found himself in the company of the King of Pop. "He had no starry mannerisms, no special requirements. All he pointed out to me when I was preparing a meal for him was that he's allergic to garlic. He loved sheep [mutton].

"He was very nice talking to everyone, he did not make differences in people according to what they ate. [He] was very friendly and liked joking," continues Mr. J&#367;za and adds to their joint photo session which took place: "[He] kept pinching me, laughing and saying, Come on, Billy, we're going to take pictures. He was a prankster." The Joker, who deceived his skinny body. "When you shook hands, he had a firm grip, no dead fish, as they say, it was not." And what, then, the much discussed honeymoon Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley at Palm Beach? "They had rooms next to each other, so their honeymoon or marriage probably was no wilderness," he recalls with a laugh. After a bit gets serious and says: "I think the wedding she wanted more."

[Vaclav discusses Grace Rwaramb's comments after Michael died and rejects accusations that Michael was taking drugs at this time]

"Michael came on his childhood. "Even when he was very young, he found himself too soon in the spotlight" he muses over the destiny of the famous singer. Maybe because children understand him and [he] fulfills their dreams that he built a children's paradise at Neverland. Some accused the King of Pop, but kids love him too ... "He's like, yes, buy them toys, talking with them, playing. Sometimes he was in their company rather than among the adults,"

Today, Mr. J&#367;za is retired. When remembering the deceased King, Juza says: "The biggest honor for me was when after a concert Michael walked past me surrounded by his bodyguards, raised his hand and waved at me and shouted: "Thanks, Billy! Thanks for coming," even after all the years"

I saw one of these pictures on instagram the other day and never knew it was Michael but then when I saw really close to it I could tell it was Michael...

That's not Michael! If you look at pictures were you can see the whole body you can see that this person is a woman! Michael never had those female pelvis.

Huh? :worried: you can see it even with such a small picture that it's a woman, plus the hands are off and like they said, he didn't have that shape to his body :mello: how can people post these things anywhere and claim it's him? lol

Haha, does anyone remember this story? The media tried to make a big thing out of those pictures claiming it was Michael. They took a picture of a woman walking around in stilettos and said that Michael was cross-dressing. They took a photo of some random child sitting with the woman and claimed it was Paris. Raymone Bain had to release a statement saying that the stories were bull and it wasn't Michael. The things they did for a story. Seriously!

 

[MjsLovelyOne88]

^^ OMG I remember but I wish I didn't. I specifically remember the thing about him "cross-dressing" and went : WTF! as if! this is just a tiny tiny proof that reminds us what Michael had to deal with, ugh!:sigh: let's forget about it again :lol:
