Michael Jacksons best friend speaks out "He was confused and lonely!" Plus was MJ being over over-medicated?

Michael Jackson's close friend Uri Geller has spoken out to Us Weekly about the king of pop's untimely death.

"I'm devastated. I just don't want to believe it," says Geller ""He is my best friend. I just can't believe."

Geller also told Sky News that he believed Jackson to be in fine health.

"He was in good shape. ... I'm not a doctor, but I can only assume he was under immense stresses and pressures, and you can ask any doctor, stress is a killer," he said. "The pressure of these concerts, putting under huge pressures, he was a perfectionist. That could have been what did it. But that's just my opinion."

Jackson was set to headline 50 sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena beginning in July, billed "This Is It" -- his final London performances.

"I think it was a mistake to target 50 shows. 3, 4, 5 maybe 10 shows is enough," said Geller. "He was healthy, aerobically fit. I remember him here in my house, and he wouldn't touch junk food. So now... to confront this devastating reality that Michael is dead is just... I want to wake up tomorrow and think this is a dream and that he is not dead."

Added Geller, "He was a happy man when fans were around - he drank their love. He loved what he did, but somewhere in his deep dark corners of his heart, he was a confused man and a lonely person. The reason was because nobody could understand him.

"He is in heaven now, a better place than us. God rest his soul." [SOURCE]

Gellar isn't the only one to speak out though, with one of Jackson's attorneys Brian Oxman telling CNN that he thought MJ was over-medicating.

"I talked to his family about it. I warned them. I said 'Michael is overmedicating' (and that) ... it's all going to break our hearts. It was a serious problem"

Oxman said Jackson was taking painkillers to deal with chronic problems related to old injuries, including a broken leg and fractured vertebrae.

But, asked to say who might have been enabling the overmedication he claims was happening, Oxman would not name names.

"I don't want to make finger-pointed of any kind" until a cause of death is determined, Oxman said. [SOURCE]

Buckle up everybody because this is only the tip of the iceberg. Can you imagine all the lies and truths that are about to come out about MJ? Every man and their dog will be trying to get some publicity from this and it's going to be extremely hard to separate fact from fiction. Will the autopsy finally reveal the secrets behind Michaels plastic surgery? Who will take his children? Is he even their biological father? Is he bankrupt? There are a lot of questions about Michael and his secretive life, which lets face it, we all want to know, but I hope he can be remembered for his talent and contribution to the arts first and foremost, and not all the controversy and tabloid scandals.

HEARTBREAKING! A "devastated" Janet Jackson releases a statement on Michaels Death...

Janet Jackson's manager has just released the following statement on Jan's behalf following the sudden death of her older brother Michael earlier today.

Janet Jackson is grief stricken and devastated at the sudden loss of her brother. She is in pre-production for a movie and is flying immediately to California to be with her family.

Janet is currently working on Tyler Perry's latest film "Why Did I Get Married Too", as well as her new album with long time collaborators Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

It's well known that Michael & Janet were the closest to one another out of all the Jackson siblings, being inseparable as children, and collaborating together on their 1995 hit "Scream."



This is so sad for Jan. I remember in one of the biographies that I have about Janet, it has this story were the interviewer went to speak to Michael when he was just getting big, and he bought Janet along to the interview even though she was still a kid then. He made the interviewer ask Jan the questions, then she had to rely the message to Michael, then he would tell her his answer and she would tell the interviewer! Supposedly it was because he kept being asked all these questions he didn't like, so if he did it through his sister it was easier to avoid answering things he didn't want and would throw the journalist off. Anyways my point was they were so close and shared many funny little things like that, and I remember reading that she used to follow him around the house all the time and look up to him when they were living together as children. They had their ups and downs over the years but she must really be feeling inconsolable at this point.

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON 1958 - 2009

I thought I'd do a post where everybody could leave a comment with their favourite MJ moments, songs, or albums. I'm really upset about his death and concerned for his family, but I think we all need to think positively and celebrate everything that he's given music. Michael's talent was a gift from God and I'm relieved that now he'll be able to escape all the rumours and negativity that the media spread about him. Anyways check out my two selections below.


Michael Jackson - Ben

La Toya Jackson - He's My Brother

I chose "Ben" because not only was it his first number one hit, but it was like a sign of the greatness that was going to come. It's sung so beautifully and the lyrics make me think about him and how misunderstood he was.

The other song I chose is a little silly, but it's really sweet and sincere. "He's My Brother" was released by Michaels sister La Toya in 1989 for her album "Bad Girl". It's a great song and really celebrates him in a positive way. It's so a happy and joyful, but at the same time it's making me sad because I'm thinking about his family, especially Toy and Jan. Janet was the closest to Michael out of anyone so she must be inconsolable, but I'm trying not to think about that too much or I'll be too upset.
