Why Did AEG/Randy Phillips???

morethan sickening. these fools want us to believe that while they've taken a huge LOSS they're still gonna do things for the benefit of mj's estate...my ass

and trish is right, when the fans came to say what mj tol dthem, they were yelled at, it was pages long, and it reeked of jealousy. fans who wished that had that access to mj but didn't. it was sickening. granted, it was placed in the wrong area of the forum so even more people who wouldn't usually read it, got to.

so eh.

i wonder when they'llblame the muffin man

Put this "trusted" description together with TMZ's notion that Katherine is questioning the executors' role only because she's being manipulated, and I wonder who is controlling the public perception of this. TMZ is a tabloid and happy to be a slut for whoever gives them information.

Ah yeah... I totally agree. The best thing that TMZ can say about McMillan is that he's a young 'legal eagle' and that Katherine is now being 'manipulated'? By who? A lawyer who actually previously repped MJ and was actually one of FEW who was actually doing right by him?

Ask TMez what he thinks of Katie. I doubt the words 'pushover' would come to mind....

From that article just posted....
Mr Phillips added: "Michael was our partner in life and now he's our partner in death."

Isn't that quote from Mr Phillips just a tad bit sickening?

Yes, when it's taken out of context like it was in that article. But what he actually said, as reported elsewhere, was:
Even if there were video or audio released from the memorial, "we wouldn't do anything without the estate," says Phillips. "Michael was our partner in life, he's our partner in death through his estate."

Which seems a lot more reasonable, doesn't it?
 
Not particuarly because I think I have an issue with the fact that he is now tied to AEG and he can't speak for future changes that he would have originally had a hand in. They're now free to push for as many things as they like to recoup their losses and if the executors of the estate are lazy/overwhelmed or don't have Mike's best interests/requests in mind... then we'll see the exploitation of his image which will be easy with all these johnny come lately fans who popped up after Michael passed.

That article quote bugged me for two reasons... one I've just explained ^ and the other being that once again a quote is not put in its entirety which is now the "norm" in journalism... it's no longer reporting statments and facts and allowing us to use our brains to draw our own conclusions... instead now everything is tainted with the author and their place of employment's personal opinion and stance on a topic. We the public are constantly having things being dumbed down for us.... like Larry King... repeating the same segments of what was shown in the last 5 minutes of the show.. like we're all goldfish and need the memory reminder... (okoay I'll end the rant lol).

Ahh, no. That statement did not need to be said. It's crude and borderline disrespectful.

^ yeah it's kinda like a "we got him" like they're the lucky ones to have had him signed as a partner at the end... so I'm sticking with my original thought of it being sickening.
 
I have a question to ask which maybe only TSCM can help me with but here goes: exactly what was the role that Branca was fired from? And where is the trusted article that proves this?
 
AEG Wants a Piece of the Action

AEG has filed legal papers asking to be part of the Michael Jackson's probate hearing on August 3.

The papers entitle AEG to receive all legal papers, including notices of court hearings, connected to the probate.

It's unclear if AEG is teeing up a financial claim against the estate.

Stay tuned...

All I say is 'I don't blame you Janet'

JANET WON'T SING AT JACKSON BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

JANET JACKSON has dismissed reports she will appear as a surprise guest at tribute concerts to mark her late brother MICHAEL JACKSON's birthday in August (09).
The star was reportedly lined up to open the gigs at London's o2 Arena, where the King of Pop was due to play 50 dates this summer before his tragic death from a cardiac arrest last month (Jun09).
The Jackson brothers; Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon Jackson will celebrate the Thriller hitmaker with two special performances, the first of which will be played on Michael's birthday on 29 August (09).
However a representative for Janet has brushed off suggestions the singer will also appear, insisting the concerts aren't "about her".
A family friend tells MSNBC.com, "Janet has plenty going on as it is - she’s filming a movie (Why Did I Get Married Too) and she’s involved in Michael’s kids’ lives. These concerts are not about her and she respects that. She’s always been independent.

You guys think that AEG was in on Michael's death? And why do they want, as TMZ is reporting, " piece of the action". Who are they to want to be involved in the court proceeding on Aug 3. And I agree with Trish, AEG is very suspect with regards to "protecting" Michael instead of acting like concert promoters. I had a bad vibe about that Randy Phillips long time ago.
 
wow. Fans are blaming nearly everyone.

And I don't blame you all, BUT Randy was so excited himself for Michael to do the concerts. He said, "I am counting the months, days, and seconds till that very first show." And he actually took the time to defend Michael with Kenny Ortega saying Michael DID go to rehearsals, and every day.

I just don't think Randy was in on the death? AEG even stated, ""We would have preferred to hire a doctor in London, as it would have been more cost effective, but Michael insisted on Dr. Murray."
 
oh yea he was excited to be lining his pockets. he'll do so either way w/ mj dead OR alive

how can u blame US for blaming others?

I don't follow that - are you saying that a US doctor would cost less than a UK doctor because 1 USD is worth less than 1GBP? I don't think they would have paid the same amount regardless of currency conversions.
 
I don't get why anyone would pay for an employee who wasn't qualified... even if MJ requested Murray.. it's the person who's payin the bills that can decide whether they want to take on an unqualified employee that could effect their main asset.

From what's been reported, he is qualified, but he is not currently board-certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties, as his ten-year certification in internal medicine expired in December. So he was certified, but hadn't got it renewed.

From what I understand, board certification isn't a legal requirement to practice medicine, but most doctors would have it. Apparently about 87% of US physicians are certified.
 
How does he not stay certified after 10 years? If I didn't renew my certifications I wouldn't be able to teach... Does that mean USA legal requirements are more lax than Aus?

I would also be inclined to believe that not being board-cert in the USofA wouldn't do him any favours working in the UK.
 
Well like I said, from what I gather, it's not actually a legal requirement to be board-certified, it's just a good idea, it's what most people would look for, and some health schemes would require your doctor be board-certified for example. But you can practice medicine without it in the US. And if it's not a requirement in the US, I doubt it'd be a requirement for working in the UK either.

So I don't think there was a legal issue there, but there's certainly a question of judgement. I suppose on the one hand his certification had only recently expired... but why didn't he renew it?
 
If it turns out that he was the doc who did the insurance policy physicals... (like some sources have been droppin) then surely he would have needed to be board certified to satisfy the insurance company :hmm:

I guess time will tell on that one
 
ok wanna c the link? now since it's all come out....

the dude paid by aeg did the physicals that 'michael' passed.

the dermatologist that mj went to and went frequently in the last two months of his life has used propofol in illegal ways to do minor procedures on michael

the dr. who did the physicals and who 'lived' w/ mj had communications and a link to the dermatologist

the dr. who did the physicals told police, who initially didn't find shit, where to find the 'hidden stash' of 'drugs' in the house....

it was in HIS closet and in that closet they found propofol/diprivan.....

the men who own the ranch are investors in the concerts

the man behind aeg knew mj wasn't eating and had to send someone to make sure he ate

fans spoke to mj and he told them he couldn't do it and he felt lied to.

that news came out into the mass media

a counter article by the la times had quotes from phillips, thome, and barak and was a thinly veiled threat that pretty much said if he didn't do these shows his career would be over

u got those three men bragging that mj's past handlers couldn't work well w/ him and things weren't in control.

the very same men woh said they had to KEEP people out of his life that THEY deemed bad. y is a concert promoter getting involved like that?

a few months after those braggarts came into his life, he was dead.

so.....the links? look above.

wait are you talking about murry? If so, murry DID NOT do michael physical. The insurance company SENT their OWN guy to do it. So are you saying aeg secretly paid lloyd of londons doctor off to "pass" michael?
