I just heard on the radio a song called Ben by Michael Jackson. They're playing all his songs. I never heard it but it sounds so sad yet so good. I
don't know who Ben is but I love that song now

Janet Jackson arrived at her brother Michael's Holmby Hills estate, where moving vans arrived earlier in the day. Poor Janet.

Ben was a rat.
Here's an acoustic version. The film's title theme song, "Ben," performed by Michael Jackson, became a #1 pop hit single. Later included on Jackson's album of the same name, "Ben" won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. � �� |

Poor Janet. Poor Jackson clan!

I do love how people are discovering him all over again. I've been fan my whole life and I'm still finding videos or songs I've never seen/heard. It's so sad that it took his death for it to happen but I do believe that even in death he is still inspiring so many. That's truly amazing. Whatever controversy dogged him in the last years I do believe he brought so much good to the world. Even saying that - I'm still in shock though. |

Joe Jackson: 'We
Don't Like What's Going On'
A day after Michael Jackson's death, a cloud of deep sadness - mixed with growing anger - has descended on the Jackson family home in Encino, where Joe and Katherine Jackson and their children have gathered to mourn. "We're holding a family meeting now," Joe told PEOPLE in a brief interview midday. "We don't like what's going on." A source close to the family tell PEOPLE that, while the adults of the family put up a brave front on Friday for Michael's three children - Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 - the emotions on Saturday are raw and bitter. 'The Sadness is Unreal'"The kids have fallen apart today," says the source. "They have taken it so, so hard. Yesterday everybody was being really strong for the kids, but today it just hit everybody. There are so many tears."A sharp division has opened between Michael Jackson's lawyers and personal staff and his parents and eight siblings. "There is so much sadness in the house today, it's unreal. They are so confused. They are so in the dark," says the source. "The family has no access to the will. [Michael's lawyers] won't let the family see the will ... The family has no idea what to do. They don't even know when to bury him. They don't know what to do about anything. They aren't getting any answers from Michael's lawyers." Mrs. Jackson RebuffedEven Katherine Jackson, the singer's mother, has been rebuffed by Michael's camp, according to the source. "Michael's people won't give Mrs. Jackson anything."Another source of deep concern for the family: The intentions of Debbie Rowe, Jackson's former wife and the mother of his two older children, whose lawyer yesterday confirmed that Rowe retains parental rights. The Jacksons apparently fear that Rowe, who has not lived with the children in year, may now want to raise them. "They haven't heard from Debbie Rowe and don't know what's going on in that respect, either. Joe and Katherine really want the children," says the source. "They for sure want the children." Independent AutopsyAnother source close to the family tells PEOPLE that the family is so concerned about the reliability of Jackson's handlers that there is a possibility that patriarch Joe Jackson, now acting once again as the family chief, will request an independent autopsy."They're in shock and they want answers," the source says. "The issue is the people around him: vampires and blood suckers." About the only positive development, says this source, is the rare sense of unity that now unites the large and fractious family. "They are coming together and Joe is running the show. It was tough for them all growing up, but the parents never stole from Michael and they had his best interests at heart." |

I've always wondered this, but you know when he did that press conference recently, do you think he used a look-alike?
I don't know, it just didn't seem like him. |

I really hope Debbie doesn't go for custody. the last thing those kids need to is to be separated and she's only mum to two of them.

MzMcLean wrote:the article did say the family as trying to put up a brave front for the kids. I believe this. I've been around my own family after learning the death of a loved one. My father refused to let us see him suffering when my brother was killed in an auto accident. I don't know how our dad handled it behind closed doors, but he was talking and telling funny stories to people about things my brother use to do and how they would argue over a cartoon character. The cameras weren't on Mr. Jackson 24/7. We don't even know what the conversation is about. It could be some things he and Jessie Jackson were sharing stories of Micheal as a child or anything. Let's not be so quick to judge off a couple of pictures. This man stuck by Michael when he went through that court shit.

I have a funny story to share! I was getting my nails done and the salon owner (who I know) put on the Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour and I got SO
excited. So he goes "You like him?" and I told him how big a fan I've always been. We and some other girls there, spend a few minutes talking,
when Michael starts with "Human Nature" and I start to tear up.
