KATHERINE JACKSON TO RELEASE MICHAEL JACKSON COFFEE TABLE BOOK

The book will be called "Never Can Say Goodbye: The Katherine Jackson Archives." The book will reportedly consist of photos on one page and Katherine's thoughts and memories on another ... and will be sold through a website, www.jacksonsecretvault.com.

The site also says Katherine gave an interview with former MJ confidante Marc Schaffel in an effort to promote the book -- a curious decision because Schaffel was heavily involved in Michael's life at one point, but the two had a huge falling out which resulted in several lawsuits.

As we first reported, Katherine plans on taking Michael's kids -- Prince, Paris, and Blanket -- to Michael's hometown of Gary, IN on the anniversary of his death.

THINGS THESE SUPERSTARS HAD IN COMMON

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson and now Tiger Woods. The things they had in common was a lack of good old common sense. I guess these superstars think they can handle every aspect of their career. They must think they can do the jobs of PR people, agents, managers, and handlers. They believe in their own press. The larger they become they listen less to these professionals.

I guess Michael thought he was bigger than life and could not be brought down with his dealings with children and he ignored pleadings form his handlers.

Kobe thought he would never be found out because he was in an out of the way place and no one would ever know.

Tiger thought these women would be discreet and never utter a word. All Tiger and Kobe had to do was place a call to one of his seasoned handlers, or people in the business and a call would have been placed to a madam and a plane load of lovely women would have been at their beck and call.

These women working at these clubs are mostly low income wage earners and the men thought they could get by free. They should have known better. These women are out for their fifteen minutes of fame. There are women out there who would never tell, some are in this for a business and not for fame.

I just feel Tiger made poor judgements and his friends should have told him the consequences of taking these high risk moves. Now because of his poor judgements, his wife and kids will suffer for years to come. But he will not have a squeaky clean image anymore. Now he has street cred. Tiger will bounce back. He just must now face the many people who had so much confidence in him.

JOE JACKSON SEEKS A FAMILY ALLOWANCE FROM MICHAEL JACKSON'S ESTATE

Joe Jackson does not stand to inherit any of his son's assets and cannot challenge the appointment of the executors chosen by the singer to handle his will, according to the judge.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Joe Jackson was not named in the will but he could pursue a motion to receive a family allowance because he claimed Michael supported him.

His expenses exceed $15,000 a month, according to court documents. The 2002 will of Michael Jackson omitted any mention of his father. The court documents said Joe Jackson receives $1,700 monthly from Social Security, and he relied on his son for support for many years.

The documents stated, "He does not have a regular source of income, and he was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson, for his support.

The judge has scheduled a hearing for December 10 on Joe Jackson's request for the family allowance. Katherine Jackson's new probate attorney Adam Streisand suggested that she would support that request.

WHY MICHAEL JACKSON CHOSE DIANA ROSS TO BE HIS CHILDREN'S GUARDIAN

Maybe it is because Diana chose to stress an education for her children. All kids should have a " plan B ". Her children graduated from Brown University and Georgetown University. Her children seem well-rounded.

REBBIE JACKSON IS A GOOD CHOICE FOR MICHAEL JACKSON'S KIDS AT THIS TIME

Rebbie was the logical choice to get Michael Jackson's children until their appointed guardian or attorney makes his decision and approved by the court. I think it is a circus in that house.

Janet is also a good choice, but Michael knew that she had her career to pursue. Marlon is the only brother that seems to have himself together. Jermaine is a chip off the old block. He seems the most like Joe. He always has some business deal or plan or scheme to make money.

Maybe if Michael had allowed Jermaine around more this wouldn't have happened to him. If Katherine tries to make herself the administrator of Michael's will, I think she will only hurt herself. Every bit of language that comes from that family will be held against them by the court.

Michael was not incompetent if he was still supporting his mother and looking out for her well being. It seems that he was not into supporting his siblings anymore. He paid for his success by his own blood sweat and tears.

IS CRYONICS AN OPTION FOR THE JACKSON FAMILY ?

I am wondering if the Jackson family is considering freezing Michael's body to preserve him for the future ? The body's water is replaced with an antifreeze to stop cells from deteriorating. Simon Cowell has said he wanted to be frozen after death so one day he could be reborn.

The body is cooled by dry ice until it reaches 202 degrees below zero. Then the body is put into a metal container and immersed in a tank full of nitrogen. The Cryonics Institute in Michigan,has 70 bodies in liquid nitrogen. Ben Best is the president of the organization.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S MEMORIAL WAS UNFORGETTABLE !!!

I was so relieved to see it done so tasteful. I was sitting there on pins and needles thinking that AEG would just make a mockery out of it. They said that it would be a star studded event. And I know that many people wanted to sing but it would have lasted for many hours if they had let them perform.

The best part of the service was the Andre Crouch choir. I just wanted to hear more of them. But I guess they didn't want to make it too preachy.The service was done with class. There were many people that had never seen a memorial like that . I would like to buy a copy of it without all of the lags and commercials that was in it.

The inspirational dancers were a hit also.This will go down in history. My sister and her nine year old son were bawling. Also her eight year old grand daughter. My nephew will look at his videos 5 or 6 times at a sitting, so he knows all the words. I don't know who organized the memorial, but it was classy and not too glitzy and was done with taste.

IS JOE JACKSON GROOMING MICHAEL'S CHILDREN FOR SHOWBIZ ?

The rumors are that the children will perform in London next month. If he does this there will be an outpouring of wrath and rage against him.

WHY WEREN'T MICHAEL JACKSON'S BEST FRIENDS FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS NOT AT THE MEMORIAL ?

What is a memorial service for Michael Jackson without Diana Ross ? She should have been there to sing "Reach out and touch somebody's hand".

Was it because she was set to take custody of Michael's children upon Katherine's demise? Was it because of jealousy and rivalry ?

She might not have been in the family's inner circle, but arrangements should have been made to seat her at the other end of the aisle.

Also what about Liza Minnelli and Elizabeth Taylor ? They are privy to all the info that Michael has shared with them for these 40 years.

I think the family made a mistake to shun them. They might miss the opportunity to get the children because they might need one of these women to come to court and testify in their behalf.

I think they are getting some bad advice. Whoever it is It seems they are being kept from people who could help them.

WHY ARE MICHAEL JACKSON'S FUNERAL PLANS SO SECRETIVE

Is it because they have sold the exclusive rights to some magazine or the highest bidder? It seems that people are milking this tragedy for every dime they can get. It is a shame. The kids are going to be exploited further than they have to.

MICHAEL JACKSON: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE

That's what Michael Jackson preached, world harmony. But even the people that loved and sang the song, don't feel that way. They don't want Michael's kids with Katherine Jackson who is his mother, and they don't want them with Diana Ross. Is it a "black thing ?"

They don't want them raised in a black home, but they also don't want them with the mother, Debbie Rowe. What do these news anchors want ? They have to analyze everything.

These kids are going to have emotional problems anyway. They might be difficult to handle later. This is a big task to take on. I would hope that the judges would take into consideration what the kids want and to appoint an attorney for them and monitor them until they get of legal age. And to remove them if necessary.

BILLIE JEAN IS ALIVE AND WELL IN LONDON

A young woman in London is claiming she is the mother of Michael Jackson's three children. She has filed a claim last year and it was thrown out of court. I thought a lot of crazies would come forward. But so far this woman, Nona Lola Paris Jackson is the only one. You have to listen to the lyrics of the song, they are so prophetic.

IS MARTIN BASHIR TRYING TO CLEAN UP HIS IMAGE ?

I don't think it is possible with Californians. Every time I turn on TV and he is there, I click the clicker. His 2003 docmentary " Living with Michael Jackson", will be repeated July 16, 2009. The film has been cut down to 60 minutes from 90 minutes.

They are trying to clean it up by not showing the face of the 12 year old boy holding Michael Jackson's hand during the interview. Bashir lived with Michael Jackson for six months and Michael trusted him.

Michael felt betrayed by Bashir because the film showed him in a bad light.

DIANA ROSS : GOOD CHOICE AS GUARDIAN FOR MICHAEL'S CHILDREN

I think Diana Ross is a very good choice as guardian for Michael Jackson's children. Michael had traveled all over the world and watched many parents and how they raised their children. Diana seemed to keep her children out of the spotlight and tried to get them a good education. So Michael must have seen her as a nurturing and loving mother and she must have reminded him of his mother, Katherine. It seems that Diana kept her children grounded.

JANET JACKSON SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S ESTATE.

I think Janet should be the logical choice to get control of Michael's estate because she and Michael were the successful ones in the family. They were close and Janet is a businesswoman as well as an entertainer.

Questions are being asked about why Katherine Jackson is being thrust out front as the person filing the motions in the court. I don't think there is anyone else that will pass the squeaky test. It is unknown whether they could pass the fitness test given by the Department of Health Services.

And they know the tabloids and investigators would go over their lives with a fine tooth comb. That's why the other siblings won't step forward. They don't want the intrusive reporters digging into their past.

DID LIZA MINNELLI GET A 2 AM PHONE CALL ?

Liza Minnelli said on the Larry King show that she got a call in the night at 2 AM from an attorney saying Michael Jackson was in cardiac arrest . Did she make a mistake and mean 2 PM ? But she did say they woke her up in the early morning ? It has been puzzling to me.

WILL DNA TESTS BE ORDERED FOR MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHILDREN ?

I wonder if the children will be ordered to take a DNA test to see if Debbie Rowe is the biological mother or is she is a surrogate ? And if Michael is the biological father and Joe and Katherine are the biological grandparents ?

MARTIN BASHIR THE BETRAYER OF MICHAEL JACKSON

I'll bet there is no one who will invite Martin Bashir into their lives to get an in depth interview these days. He is the Linda Tripp of the T V journalists these days. Linda Tripp was a key figure in the Clinton investigation. She recorded 20 hours of recorded evidence. Michael Jackson invited Bashir to join his entourage for eight months for a documentary. Michael was so hurt and felt betrayed by Bashir. Since that happened, I have to change stations whenever he is on tv.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S FORMER NANNY

This is a very interesting article by Michael Jackson's former nanny , Grace Rwaramba, a Rwandan native now living in London. about pumping his stomach after drug use. Also some mention of Katherine Jackson.

WILL CALIFORNIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL JERRY BROWN INVESTIGATE MICHAEL JACKSON'S DOCTORS ?

This is deja-vue back to Anna Nicole Smith. There are so many questions unanswered .

Why did the coroner's office pick up Michael Jackson's body ? He had a personal physician living at the house .

Why did the physician leave the house ?

Why was he hard to locate and the police had to look for him ?

Why did reports say he was dead at ten am in the morning ?

Was rigor-mortis set in already in his body ?

Why did the police search the doctor's car ?

If a person has a personal physician, he does not need an autopsy.

I think the police department is covering themselves by giving the autopsy.

Did the police search for any prescription drugs in the house ? I think everything would have been cleaned up before the police got there.

The 911 call was very evasive because the caller knew he was being taped.
