Thanks for the summary Mary Ann. Interesting about the museum in Gary. I was under the impression it was all on the up and up; I'm even a member of their on-line organization. Hmmm, well, guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I do agree that anything out there about Michael's will is probably fake, stuff just made up by news people who know that we as fans have to way to verify what is really true.

I didn't know about the Foundation either, Gerri. But it makes sense, that Joe and Kathryn have shady people advising them. Did you also hear about the expensive limited edition MJ belts they are selling? The ones that the children had to sign? That idea to me sounds so exploitive... the wrong way to honor Michael's memory. Michael would have hated his children being used in this way!
About the will, I don't see a problem with it, as far as I've seen. I can't see how anyone except for Joe would have a problem with it either, so I don't understand Randy's concerns.

hey Mal... there is a lot goin on - as far as the will goes.
1) the childrens names are spelled wrong 2) Michael wasn't in LA to sign this 'will' - he was in NY! 3) John Branca, who Michael fired in 2003 - was rehired 8 days before Michael died (coincidence? I think not) -- 4) John Branca is signed as executor for the estate!! 5) No one other then his mother and kids are mentioned in the will - and the 'executors' will get millions - above Janet? Rebbie? Latoya? His brothers? His cousins? His neeces??
There is a lot going on behind it. I dont know if its interesting to all you, I'll post the you tube links and sources later on if wanted.
But there is a lot goin on - the will - I don't believe its real

Hayat, I do understand a lot of people don't believe the will is the real thing, including you and Randy. Whether it is or not, I am fine with who gets the money as it stands now. Just MY OPINION, but I have some ideas of your points here: 1) The lawyer and their admin. staff typed up the will with mistakes... maybe no time to correct the mistakes? 2) True, but not a big deal legally. The will was typed up in LA and was expected to be signed in LA, but Michael was in NY at the time he signed. 3) There are no such things as coincidences. Michael fired (laid off) staff all the time when they were no longer required. But Branca was hired back because he was needed again, which shows Michael trusted him. 4) John Branca has done a fine job so far, as far as I can tell. 5) Michael knew his mother would dole out money to his father and his siblings, as she saw fit. I know for sure she is giving Joe money as we speak. Any comments? 1) the childrens names are spelled wrong 2) Michael wasn't in LA to sign this 'will' - he was in NY! 3) John Branca, who Michael fired in 2003 - was rehired 8 days before Michael died (coincidence? I think not) -- 4) John Branca is signed as executor for the estate!! 5) No one other then his mother and kids are mentioned in the will - and the 'executors' will get millions - above Janet? Rebbie?

Hi, Hayat!
Yes, if you wouldn't mind, please post the YouTube links and sources related to Mike's will! I'd like to read more about it, especially now that his brother, Randy, seems to be so concerned.
Thanks! Jacque

I know for sure she is giving Joe money as we speak. Any comments? John Branca was fired by Michael because of the conflict of intrest. When Mike was at war with Sony, he discoverd that Branca worked FOR sony instead of against. HUGE conflict of intrest - working AGAINS Michael's intrests. Thats why he fired his ass. And now all of a sudden this Branca dude is the executor of Michael's estate??? Mike would have NEVER let his childrens names be spelled wrong, never. He loved, adored and was very proud of them. Don't you find it strange that Branca gets to call all the shots? I'm gonna post all the links right now. Hold on...

Here are more of Randy's tweets, from before June 25th! We are right behind you, Randy! Also, a video of Randy talking about the Forest Lawn ceremony and the fans! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jEwQLHEQj4Almost been a year now since I lost my big brother… The best I can do now is to protect his legacy & reputation And to try to think as he would, in matters concerning him... My intentions r not 2 make any1 look bad unfairly, just want the truth 2b told. We all, including his wonderful fans, deserve that There’s a lot of conversation out there about my recent comments. I’m here to give u some answers. I am reading ur tweets & I’ll try to answer as many as I can. Please tweet your questions & concerns. I've never met tribute organizer Ms. Zolla. In Vanity Fair Italia, she says my brother is alive & speaking 2 her. I'm mortified. I won’t tell you whether you should support this tribute or not. But I will tell u, that I personally, do not support it I know that my brother would never want to be a part of an event that was built on deception... of his fans, especially My love & support for my family is unwavering....BUT... There r things some of us don’t agree upon. I’ll do my best to reveal the truth 2 them. But ultimately the choice is theirs. My Father is understandably passionate about the loss of his son. Oxman & others around my father, take advantage to promote themselves. I instructed Oxman not to make media appearances & discuss my brother or my family. I fired him because he continuously violates the attorney-client privilege. I am considering taking this to the legal board. Let me be clear, there is an investigation pending…. I keep my cards close to my chest. Keep in mind, the evildoers are reading my tweets too… But, I will not stop until justice is served. It goes way beyond Murray. I’ll say it again, my brother doesn’t have a voice anymore, so we have to fight and speak for him & make sure justice is served. I am going to find one more question that many of you want an answer for.... and then we will do this again some time. So many of you want to know how you can help… Ur support is so important, more powerful that u may know. At times, I’m sad & broken. But ur support helps 2 encourage me & fuel my motivation 2 continue this fight 4 truth & justice. Thank you for your wonderful questions & uplifting messages. Until next time…. Love 2 u all

Thank you Norma! I was going to comment here, but decided to do that at Seven's page first and then copy it here. Would you believe I can't copy it now? Grrrrr! Please go read my comment at her page I was at his Twitter session too, and like I said in the comments, I see things very differently. I also don't agree with Seven and many other fans who believe in a terrible Sony conspiracy theory (and now from Randy, a John McClain conspiracy) to destroy Michael and perhaps even plot to end his life. Such nonsense! I'm wondering if I should move this to Rants? I'd love to hear your comments too, and if you disagree with me, let's discuss! Mal

Too bad the new album is probably permanently marked by all this, when it could and should be a happy and proud time for the fans, for Michael's family and for his kid's!! Instead the album is surrounded and tainted by this negativity which is really sad. I really hope this situation will improve because it seems like a big mess right now. It's a shame really.

Thank you, Alicia. I agree with you too. All the family strife and bickering has to negatively affect the children! They are probably being pulled in different directions, since they are so impressionable. I bet there is a lot of stress they have to deal with, so yes, good idea that we should pray for them. If you would like to start a Prayer Request in our Member's Area, that would be great. I was planning to do that anyway.
It's true, Michael and his siblings were not as close as they would like us to believe. He did shut them out sometimes, but that doesn't make them a bad family. It just makes them a normal family! Well one that's in show biz, but you know what I mean. I do remember reading in Shmuley's book that Michael said he wished the family was a close knit family... it seems that as soon as they were grown and off on their own, they lost that family vibe.
Anyway, I feel sad for all of them too. They have the grief to try to deal with, and then all the emotions stirred up by the estate controversy and now, Michael's album.
