So its true diane dimwit was dangling mjs underwear live on tv?
She is seriously crazy
Bitch should have her knickers dangled on TV by someone too.
Why are there so many lunatics on TV in the US?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Thanks Ben. It began in the 80's and get's worse year after year.
My statement was true Julien did not use the term "Michael Jackson death bed" to advertise the bed. he never mentions that word once. Not even in the video you posted. The term "Michael jacksons death Bed" was from The writer of the article did that. In fact the bed was never for aution. only the headboard was listed. I respect his decision to remove and the reasons why.

Michael Jackson's bed removed from planned auction
By SANDY COHEN - AP Entertainment Writer | AP
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The bed where Michael Jackson died is no longer for sale.
Julien's Auctions has removed the queen-sized headboard from its auction of items from 100 N. Carolwood Drive, Jackson's last residence.
Company president Darren Julien said Tuesday the mattress was never for sale, but he removed the carved headboard seen in evidence photos during the trial of Jackson's physician from the sale at the request of Jackson's estate.
The auction of art, furnishings and other items from the home where Jackson lived with his three children is set for Dec. 17.

A message from Darren Julien regarding 100 North Carolwood - “At the request of The Estate of Michael Jackson, we are removing the headboard from the 100 North Carolwood Drive auction taking place on Saturday, December 17th. This item is the only portion of the bed that had been listed for auction, and no part of the bed remains for sale. Contrary to some erroneous reports, the bed itself was never included in the auction and, in fact, is the property of The Estate of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson has played a major part in the history of Julien’s Auctions and we would never do anything that is not in the best interests of Michael’s children, his mother or the Estate. We will always honor these requests. We want all of our events involving items associated with Michael Jackson to be a good experience for everyone and a celebration of his life and career. The exhibition of the remaining items will continue starting on Monday, December 12th thru the auction on Saturday, December 17th" – Darren Julien, President/CEO, Julien’s Auctions

I'm surprised and disappointed at the estate for agreeing to the fans having their gifts and tributes shown in the place where the 'death bed' was going to be. It's just a way for juliens to get more publicity and make more money by presenting it as the sale of stuff from mj's last home, just sheer exploitation. The money doesn't go to mj's estate, it goes to the owners of the rented house and juliens. Both parties who think it's acceptable to put a price on a blackboard with a message to mj from his children. Tacky and creepy.
But KJ knew about it though, right? If she asked to have all the gifts delivered to her? :scratch:
I dont even know why fans would want to leave stuff for Michael there to be honest. There's no relation to Michael. :blink: It's just a guy making money of him, once more.
Mmmm, but I think 'knowing about the tributes' and having them included in the sale 'online advertising' pages, is a bit of a difference. You would expect anyone actually going to the sale room to see the tributes, but not necessarily the world. It does seem to be 'using Michael's name' to advertise, to me.

Well this was apparently the original agreement:
'Katherine Jackson's attorney, Perry Sanders Jr., said he is aware of the Carolwood auction and has "done everything we can to ascertain that items from this address are not being auctioned using Michael's name and likeness to enhance the items' value."

Sold! Auction sells furnishings from Michael Jackson's last house
By Michael Martinez and Alan Duke, CNN
updated 6:45 PM EST, Sat December 17, 2011
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Furniture from the rented mansion where pop star Michael Jackson died was being auctioned off Saturday, and among the most expensive items sold were paintings that went for $46,875 and $35,200.
Some of the furnishings were made infamous by crime scene photos shown in this year's trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, who was sentenced last month to four years in the Los Angeles County jail for involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death.
Though the mansion is located in Los Angeles' Holmby Hills neighborhood, the auction was being held in Beverly Hills and was being carried live online.
Auctioneers were selling 524 items. Jackson did not own the beds, chairs, clocks, paintings, dishes and other objects, but their value was expected to skyrocket because of the personal touch added by the pop icon and his children in the months before he died on June 25, 2009.
Julien's Auctions has been careful not to call it a Michael Jackson auction out of legal and public relations concerns, instead marketing it by the mansion's now-famous address -- 100 North Carolwood Drive.
As of early Saturday afternoon, among the most expensive items sold were a $35,200 watercolor painting of floral still life by Maurice Utrillo and a $46,875 oil painting of fishing village by Adelsteen Normann.
The table where Jackson's sedatives sat and the rug on which paramedics tried to revive him are also among the items on the sale block.
Without the connection to Jackson, the entire property might bring $400,000, Nolan said. But with the connection, "the sky's the limit," Julien's Executive Director Martin Nolan said.
A chalkboard left behind in Jackson's kitchen may have cost a few hundred dollars, but what his children wrote on it makes it a very valuable object, Nolan said. The note, handwritten on the black board attached to a 26-inch-tall ceramic rooster, reads "love Daddy/ I (heart) Daddy/ Smile it's for free."
It sat in the kitchen where, according to testimony in the trial of Murray, Jackson would eat lunch each day with Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson. It was not known which child wrote the chalk note, but Nolan said his research suggested it was from Paris, who was 11 when her father died.
Another striking piece is a Victorian-revival-style armoire from Jackson's master bedroom. On the mirror, presumably where Jackson looked each day as he dressed, is a handwritten message of inspiration: "Train, perfection March April Full out May."
The wax-pencil note is significant, considering that Jackson was battling the calendar as he prepared for his "This Is It" concerts set to premiere in London in July 2009.
Murray's defense lawyers argued during the trial that the intense pressure on Jackson to rehearse for the 50 shows put him in a desperate fight for sleep, which led to Murray administering the surgical anesthetic propofol nearly every night in the last two months of his life.
Julien's Auctions backed away from selling the bed in which Jackson received the fatal dose of the propofol after a personal request from his mother, Katherine Jackson, Nolan said.
The auction house's re-creation of the bedroom where Jackson died -- euphemistically called "the medicine room" by the company -- features a bed-sized memorial covered with love notes from Jackson fans instead of the death bed.
The nightstand seen next to the death bed in coroner's photos, bearing numerous bottles of sedatives and other drugs, is for sale. The "French occasional table" is listed for between $300 and $500.
The room-size Oriental rug that covered the floor where Jackson was placed when paramedics tried to revive him is listed in the auction catalog for between $400 and $600.
The couch and chairs where Jackson likely sat with show producers worried about his health in the days before his death are for sale.
One chair in Jackson's bedroom has a stain which Nolan suggested was makeup spilled by the star as he sat in front of a mirror.
None of Jackson's relatives has expressed an interest in any of the items, Nolan said.
He pointed out that they had a chance to take whatever they wanted from the house in the months after his death.
The notes and posters brought to the auction house by Jackson fans and placed on the "medicine room" memorial will be sent to Jackson's mother and children, he said.
Jackson's relationship with Julien's turned sour in the last months of his life when he filed a lawsuit to stop the sale of furnishings from his Neverland ranch.
The singer sued the auction company, claiming he did not authorize the sale of items that were removed from Neverland after he sold the ranch. The suit was settled in April 2009 when Julien's canceled the auction and later returned the items to Jackson.
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A mirror that Michael Jackson looked into as he dressed in his final months and onto which he scribbled a message to himself sold for $18,750 at auction in Beverly Hills this weekend.
Julien's Auctions sold 524 items that furnished the 100 North Carolwood mansion in Los Angeles' Holmby Hills neighborhood, significant because it was where Jackson and his three children lived in the months before his death. Jackson did not own the furnishings.
Some items brought higher prices because of their infamy in crime scene photos shown in this year's trial of Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, but others were valuable because Jackson and his family left their mark on them.

Other items were macabre, not inspirational.
A small table that sat next to the bed where Jackson spent his last living hours in a desperate search for sleep sold for $5,000. The "French occasional table" was listed for between $300 and $500. It was a centerpiece of several key crime scene photos at Murray's trial, because several bottles of sedatives were found on it.
The oriental rug on which paramedics tried to revive Jackson sold for $15,360, although the auction catalog placed its value at between $400 and $600. It, also, is prominent on photos shown at the trial.
