Janet Jackson Didn’t Know Michael Used Propofol

Janet JacksonJANET Jackson insists she was completely unaware her tragic brother, pop superstar Michael Jackson, used Propofol.

The King of Pop died of acute Propofol intoxication on June 25. He was 50.

While Janet admits she knew Michael had a drug problem, she says she didn’t know he touched the drug that ultimately killed him.

In an interview with Robin Roberts, the singer says it was “a shocker” when she found out about the dangerous drug he used to go to sleep — and no one in family knew the extent to which he was using.

Janet also revealed that the Jackson family did their best to stop Michael’s addiction to prescription drugs by staging more than one intervention.

“Of course, that’s what you do,” Janet told Robin Roberts. “Those are the things that you do when you love someone. You can’t just let them continue on that way.”

“We did a few times,” says Janet, the youngest child in the family. “We weren’t very successful.”

The singer says that her brother responded in a measured way to his family’s attempts to help. “He understood that it was out of love, out of caring. But people can be in denial.”

When Roberts follows up to ask if Michael was in denial, she replies, “I wish he could answer this question. And not me.”

Janet Jackson: ‘Family Staged Drug Interventions for Michael’

Janet JacksonJANET Jackson has revealed how the Jackson family did their best to stop Michael Jackson’s addiction to prescription drugs by staging more than one intervention.

In an interview with Robin Roberts which aired on Wednesday’s Good Morning America, the 43-year-old Got ‘Til It’s Gone hitmaker recalled the family’s unsuccessful attempts at helping Michael — who died on June 25 — battle his drugs demons.

“Of course, that’s what you do,” she said. “Those are the things that you do when you love someone. You can’t just let them continue on that way.”

“We did a few times,” says Janet, the youngest child in the family. “We weren’t very successful.”

The singer says that her brother responded in a measured way to his family’s attempts to help. “He understood that it was out of love, out of caring. But people can be in denial.”

When Roberts follows up to ask if Michael was in denial, she replies, “I wish he could answer this question. And not me.”

Janet also blamed Michael’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, for her brother’s death.

“He was the one that was administering,” she said. “I think he is responsible.”

Michael Jackson’s Son ‘Has Vitiligo’

Jackson FamilyMICHAEL Jackson’s sister La Toya says her tragic brother’s 12-year-old son has inherited Vitiligo.

La Toya told Britain’s New! magazine that Prince has the unsightly skin disease on his arms and chest.

“Vitiligo is on my father’s side and Prince has it, too — on his arms and chest,” she said.

La Toya also revealed that Prince, along with Jacko’s other children Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven, have been seeing a psychiatrist to help them deal with their grief.

“Paris’ bedroom is covered with posters of her father, Prince doesn’t want to speak about it and Blanket is just very sad — he cries,” she said.

“They’re working with a psychiatrist. You have to have someone to ask how you’re feeling and go through the hurt with.”

Recent reports claimed LaToya, 53, fears her life is at risk.

“La Toya is convinced someone paid Michael’s personal physician, Conrad Murray, to kill him because they stood to gain up to $1 billion from his death,” a source told the National Enquirer.

“La Toya has been telling pals she can name the mysterious people Michael’s doctor was working with when Michael died. She is convinced they killed her brother and wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to kill her as well.

“She says too many people have got too much to lose if the truth gets out. She fears for her life.”

La Toya, the report claimed, is also worried the entire Jackson family is in danger.

“She says her information is explosive and that Dr Murray did not act alone in Michael’s death,” said the insider. “She’s extra cautious now of the people she talks to and the places she goes.

“She only goes to crowded restaurants and refuses to go the supermarket when it’s dark outside.”

Janet Jackson Blames Doctor For Michael’s Death

Janet JacksonJANET Jackson says Michael’s doctor, Conrad Murray, is to blame for her superstar brother’s death — and she insists he should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.

“He was the one that was administering,” Janet told ABC in an interview that will air Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 10 p.m. ET. “I think he is responsible.”

Murray — who was Michael’s personal physician — remains the focus of a manslaughter investigation into the King of Pop’s death. He has admitted to administering the anesthetic propofol, but has denied giving Michael anything that should have killed him.

“It’s been a tough year,” Janet said. “You have your days where it’s just really — it’s hard to believe. And a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him.”

Jackson recounted the details of the morning of June 25, before she learned that Michael had collapsed, and her world turned upside down.

“I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call … [my assistant] said, ‘Your brother’s been taken to the hospital. It’s on CNN right now’.

“I called everyone. There’s a line busy or — someone wasn’t picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya.

“I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that’s how I found out that he was no longer … I couldn’t believe it.”

Jackson said the she and the entire family were in a state of disbelief.

“It just didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream,” she said. “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”

Michael Jackson’s Dad to File Creditor’s Claim Against Estate

Joe JacksonMICHAEL Jackson’s father Joe is planning to file a creditor’s claim against the star’s estate, according to reports.

The 80-year-old — who was omitted from his son’s will — claims Michael — who died June 25 — made a promise to “always support” his dad and if the estate reneges on that promise he will take it to court.

Attorney Brian Oxman told TMZ Wednesday that Michael had repeatedly given Joe, Katherine, and other members of the family assurance that he would make sure they’re always financially sound.

Oxman says Jackson (in effect) made a contract on which the family relied. He reiterated — he’s considering filing a creditor’s claim if Joe is cut off financially.

On Tuesday, Joe accused the administrators of Michael’s will of fraud.

But in a court hearing, Judge Beckloff ruled that Joe did not have legal standing to contest the administrators of Michael’s estate and cleared the way for John Branca and John McClain to be officially appointed executors of the Jackson fortune.

Katherine Jackson Has No Problem With Will Executors

Michael JacksonMICHAEL Jackson’s mother Katherine insists she has no problem with John Branca and John McClain as executors of of her tragic son’s estate.

Michael’s dad, Joe Jackson, filed legal papers yesterday, accusing Branca and McClain of fraud.

Joe claimed the pair had forged Michael’s will.

But in court Tuesday, Judge Beckloff ruled that Joe did not have legal standing to contest the administrators of Michael’s estate and cleared the way for Branca and McClain to be officially appointed executors of the Jackson fortune.

Katherine’s attorney, Adam Streisand, said after court that he does not believe Joe has any legal claim to an allowance from the estate since he was not provided for in the will.

Michael omitted Joe from his will. Instead, he instructed that a sizable portion of his vast earnings should go toward supporting his beloved mother, kids and several children’s charities.

Joe, 80, recently demanded a monthly allowance from Michael’s estate.

He filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court last Friday, claiming he’s “entitled to his own independent family allowance.”

In the documents, Leonard Rowe — who claims to have been Michael’s manager — says the King of Pop used to give his mother Katherine up to $60,000 a month to live on, and that Michael instructed her to give half of it to Joe.

Joe claims Michael’s estate has “earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven weeks following Michael Jackson’s death” and is “well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson.”

Joe says he spends $15,425 a month: $2,500 eating out; $2,000 for air travel; $3,000 for hotel bills; $1,000 for groceries; $1,200 for rent; and $50 in charitable contributions.

Jackson FamilyMICHAEL Jackson’s daughter Paris won’t let just anyone cut her hair!

The 11-year-old has reportedly enlisted celebrity hairdresser Andy Lecompte to look her after her locks.

Lecompte’s clients also include Madonna, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Paris and her two brothers — Prince Michael and Blanket – visited Andy’s LA salon last week.

Paris had her hair washed, cut and styled after her nails were painted black.

Customers enjoying treatments at the same time as Paris described the youngsters as “weird”.

“They weren’t like normal children at all because they seemed to have no joy or playfulness about them,” one client told British newspaper The Sun.

“I know they recently lost their father but their complete lack of emotion meant it was like watching three robots.”

“The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate,” Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys the Special Administrators for Michael Jackson’s Estate, told TMZ. “It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson’s Petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael’s Estate.”

Joe, 80, recently told US TV show Extra that his son — who died June 25 — is worth more dead than alive.

“He’s worth more dead than when he was alive,” he said. “I’d rather have him alive.”
