Brian Oxman states that Michael was buried at the time of the memorial.

I agree, MyBelovedMJ. And what makes it even sadder is that there are hundreds, if not thousands or even millions, of people out here in the "real" world who could be excellent, supportive, and very loyal friends of Michael, but it seems there's just no way for us "regular" folks to connect with him.

And no way for him to know we wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was him trusting "regular people" like the Chandlers and the Arvizos (not that that last family was very regular on any level) that got him into his biggest mess.

So right you are, mjfan. I should correct what I said earlier: It seems there's just no way for many of us "regular, mentally stable" folks to connect with Michael.

And I echo the others who've stated that they are there for him if need be. In a heartbeat.

Do we think then that Mark Lester has been asked to make these claims? He seems like a pretty stand up guy to me.

Not a credible source but I'm listening to the TMZ live stream with Harvey and some guy.
Harvey said that under California law the paternity of the children born during the marriage won't be questioned because a few years after birth it is practically set in concrete that the parents are the parents and this is undisputed. This is to stop people uprooting children from their homes etc.
Harvey himself noted that Klein, Lester et al have only made their 'revelations' through the media - so he called Lester up and asked him if he was going to take it to court and lester said that it was 'highly unlikely'.
Now I'm not entirely familiar with US law, but Harvey is a lawyer and he'd know best on the law right?

I personally believe if this is a hoax, that BOTH Dr. Klein AND Mark Lester have been asked to make these claims. Remember Arnie Klein has been MJ's trusted dermatologist since 1986. He's all of a sudden gonna do this now? I'm not buying it.

Another.Part.Of.Me wrote:Why would either of them do this now if it's not going to go anywhere? No judge will grant them a court order because Michael and Debbie are the undisputed parents of the children.
Mark Lester is backtracking big time ever since his little 'revelation', he admits that it's 'highly unlikely' it will ever go to court. Arnie Klein has disappeared seemingly, or rather we don't see his patronising face anymore in the news.
What is any of this meant to achieve? I can sort of buy the hoax thing because I thought Mark Lester seemed like an alright, decent sort of guy like I said my original thread which is why his 'episode' startled me so much when I saw it at 1am that I went straight to my computer and put up my 'WTF Mark Lester!' thread

My biggest hope? To make the media and all the gullible people who unquestioningly believe everything "reported," no matter how ridiculous, look like even bigger idiots.

My guess? Either to stall for more time, for whatever reason, or in Lester's case, because he really woefully misjudged the situation and the swift backlash he received.

And, yes, isn't it wonderful having such a long vacation from Arnie Klein's horrendous, smug mug? What a sleazeball... That's a nice enough development to make me feel all better.

Thanks for reminding me, Another.Part.Of.Me!

It was just a theory... mainly because otherwise MJ has total and complete Sh**heads for friends. I mean Mark Lester WTF? Like you said. This guy is a godfather. That's one of the most trusted places in MJ's inner circle, and he wants to turn around and stab MJ in the back like that by running to a tabloid saying he's Paris' daddy? I'd much rather believe it's some kind of elaborate part of a hoax to prove paternity. Otherwise I feel so bad for MJ.

How can you have a special report on someone not being buried? How do your report on a negative. Is tomorrow the day all news sources are going to start updating us on all the stuff that hasn't happened?

World hasn't yet imploded. News at 11.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a b!tch pushing this point, I think I may just be too suspicious of people because I don't trust people anymore and haven't for a long time so it's easier picking people's stories apart rather than just taking it at face value.
I truly think that Michael was surrounded by scummy leeches and I'm not sure who all of them are but leeches come out when you least expect sometimes, and sometimes they can be the people you least expect too. Like I said, I'm too suspicious of people sometimes.

Another.Part.Of.Me wrote:Another thing, I may have mentioned it above - Harvey from TMZ said that Michael Jackson hasn't been buried yet.
Tadah! If that is any admission of this being a hoax, I don't know what is - we know he hasn't been buried yet, or at least we're sure enough of it because he's not dead. You can't bury someone if they're not dead

No I didn't think you sounded like a bitch. You have a valid point. I just don't want Mark to have betrayed MJ like this. It's just disgusting.

I am SO hoping that's the case, if only to prove that my continuing "feeling" that Michael isn't dead is correct and I'm not off my rocker.

So, it looks like sham TMZ's special report tomorrow is actually THE report to be looking forward to right about now. Who'da thunk?

Fingers crossed this one gives us some serious ground and oesn't make matters worse.

Night all, and I mean it this time. Until tomorrow.
