Joe Jackson: Michael Was Not Gay!

Amid reports (ones corroborated by a close friend) that Michael Jackson had an affair with Jason Pfeiffer , Joe Jackson is denouncing the notion that MJ was gay. Joe, Michael’s father, is royally pissed at his former best friend/doctor, Arnold Klein, for claiming MJ was gay and had a relationship with Klein’s office manager. Joe railed against Klein, saying: “It’s not true. Michael was not gay. [Klein] has no respect for Michael … to say things about him when he’s gone is shameful.” Jason Pfeiffer was on TV last week, claiming he had a sexual relationship with Michael, and Dr. Arnold Klein spoke of walking in on the two men shirtless. Later, Dr. Arnold Klein said matter-of-factly: “Was he gay? Yes.” Joe Jackson: Not a big fan of Arnie Klein . Not only was Michael Jackson a homosexual, Klein says, he had no problem with people knowing … which seems unlikely, as he shrouded himself in secrecy. In any case, never one to miss a quotable opportunity, Joe Jackson went on, “He’s a doctor and knows better than to break his vows against a patient.” Speaking of doctors who broke plenty of vows, how happy is Dr. Conrad Murray right now? A scandalous Jackson story that has nothing to do with him! Are you buying it? Do you think Michael Jackson was …

Lady Gaga Rumor of the Week: Singer Had Leg Amputated "To Be Different"

There are so many rumors surrounding Lady Gaga, it’s hard to take any of them seriously … although she’s so out there, sometimes it makes you wonder. Lest we forget the Lady Gaga hermaphrodite story last summer. Talk about serious legs. In fact, there are still people convinced this urban myth is legit. Still, the rumor going around that the singer had a leg amputated below the knee, apparently because she wanted to look different, seems far fetched. Until she confirms it in a sit-down with Barbara Walters, we’re going to put it in the false category. Although whoever started it gets props for creativity. “I just had this much leg amputated …” As the rumor goes, Gaga had a cosmetic amputation surgery and before long, she will personally make the announcement to fans … or unveil it in avideo. Depends which version of the rumor you read, we suppose. While Lady Gaga’s fashion sense is as wild as it gets, and we can see some amputation-themed live performance of some kind, this has gotta be a hoax . Being different is one thing. Hacking off a limb is quite another. Who would want that? And what kind of doctor, save Conrad Murray, would agree to do it?

Conrad Murray Eyes Newest Michael Jackson Attack

Dr. Conrad Murray intends to argue that Michael Jackson killed himself by self-injecting a lethal dose of Propofol while the physician stepped out to use the bathroom. While that sounds like legal grasping at straws, Murray’s defense team says Michael Jackson’s body – specifically his eyes – could be powerful evidence in his favor. The supposed proof that Jackson accidentally killed himself , rather than overdosing on Propofol Murray administered, was obvious when the doctor came back in. At that point, he says he saw Michael’s eyes wide open and his pupils dilated. Experts say if a patient is sleeping and overdoses, their eyes most likely would not be open. The defense contends Jackson woke up when Murray was gone, became frustrated he couldn’t sleep, grabbed the Propofol bottle and ” pushed it .” THE EYES HAVE IT : But does Dr. Murray’s story hold water? If a jury believes Jackson’s eyes were open , they could also believe Jackson was awake and, perhaps, capable of grabbing the Propofol on the nightstand. Authorities also say they have a clear explanation for why Michael trouble sleeping the night before he died – tablets that would have really riled him up. An unlabeled bottle contained 13 tablets, each a combination of ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin. Each pill contained 25 mg of ephedrine, 200 mg of caffeine and 80 mg of aspirin. The caffeine alone in each is equivalent to nearly a six-pack of Coca-Cola. According to the toxicology results, ephedrine was present in Jackson. Might he have gotten so hyped up that he felt he needed extra Propofol to sleep? Murray likely thinks so, and won’t accept a plea deal .

Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray Keeps His Medical License For Now

A motion to revoke his license was shelved until June 14. By Shawn Adler Defense attorney John Michael Flanagan and Dr. Conrad Murray on Monday Photo: David McNew/AFP/Getty Images While embattled physician Conrad Murray is still fighting his involuntary-manslaughter charge in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, for now, he gets to keep his medical license. A motion by the California State Attorney General’s Office on behalf of the State Medical Board to revoke Conrad’s license was put on hold Monday afternoon (April 5) by Los Angeles Judge Michael Pastor, who shelved the matter until a procedural hearing scheduled for June 14, according to The Associated Press. Pastor, who reportedly wrote a letter of recommendation for the judgeship candidacy of prosecutor David Walgreen, was assigned the high-profile case earlier Monday by Supervising Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza. Many members of Jackson’s family were in attendance, including father Joe, mother Kathleen, sister Janet and brothers Randy and Jermaine. The hearing, which amounted to little more than legal housecleaning, stood in stark contrast to the somewhat circus atmosphere outside the courthouse. According to USA Today, large numbers of fans showed up, many holding signs and screaming, some even singing “We Are the World.” Murray, out on $75,000 bail, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s 2009 death of cardiac arrest. It is alleged that while serving as Jackson’s physician, Murray provided the singer with a lethal cocktail of sedatives, including dangerous amounts of the anesthetic propofol. Murray previously pleaded not guilty to all charges, which carry a penalty of up to four years in prison. Related Photos Michael Jackson: A Life In Photos Related Artists Michael Jackson
