Weekend News Bytes for March 21-23, 2008 (update on post #41 for March 23)

now UPI and of course Fox News have it too

"Success eluding some Jackson siblings " heads UPI quoting Dileo with the same words as in the Stacy article.
 
With regard to TMZ, Fox, Stacy Brown etc. It just shows how much they believe Michael has the potential to regain his place at the top of the charts and have sell out concerts.

If they really believed he was over they wouldn't bother trashing him, these clowns are terrified he is going to do well and leave them with egg on their miserable faces.

I ignore all of it now, I couldn't give a rats backside what they say and I suspect Michael doesn't either.

Just a note.. Regarding the Stacy Brown Article. Frank Dileo is asking Stacy Brown for a retraction as he never gave any quote and didnt cooperate in any way for this article.

I have no idea if Stacy Brown will offer a retraction or a correction, but Mr. Dileo has given permission to state in no uncertain terms that he did not give Stacy Brown any sort of quote. Since it was picked up by Eurweb, Lee Baily has also been informed.

Thank you for that Dancer. Man, I hate Stacy Brown's fugly ass. What a loser, making up quotes and attributing them to other people. I knew Frank wouldn't have said any of that trash, whatever Brown claimed he said, I didn't even read it, lol.

What did he claim he said anyhow?

This just in at hitsdailydouble.com:

"Opening The Door: Lois Najarian, veteran publicity executive for Epic Records, Dan Klores and J Records, has opened her own public relations and brand building idea house, The Door, based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The company launches with a client roster that includes MICHAEL JACKSON, radio host Robin Quivers, Natasha Bedingfield, Menudo, Sean Kingston, online charity auction marketplace Charity Folks, and renowned non-profit organization Green Chimneys. In addition to modern PR services, the company's expertise includes strategic marketing, crisis management, media training and event consultation. Caroline Bubnis, most recently a Publicity Director at Epic, will join Lois at her firm."

MY NOTE: The name LOIS NAJARIAN, came up during the Grammy's. As I recall, she said MJ would not be appearing, but during that time, she was still an Epic executive.

RASTA, where you at, LOL, what do you think of this news?

Thanks for that. Really interesting stuff. It show's that Michael in the least is looking for people with good expreience.

And from the success of T25, they KNOW that Michael is able to top those charts again. And I have noticed that all this trashing has excellerated since the release of T25. Which tells me that certain media peeps are trying to deflate the success that Michael is experiencing.

What did he claim he said anyhow?

"Michael was not going to work with the family again," said Frank DiLeo, the manager who oversaw Michael Jackson's ultra-successful "Bad" album and tour. "He was concerned only about building his legacy. He had to be bigger than Elvis."
 
This is from MJdancer123/fandancer:

He just talked to Stacy.. He said.. "Stacy, when did I ever tell you that?"

Stacy said.. "You didnt Frank.. that was a quote from Bob Jones"

Frank said.. "Well you better retract it because you have it quoted coming from me and I never said that"
 
yeah thats right...confront that liar...bout time he had to retract his nonsense...I hope a fuss is kicked up about the whole article...some embarassment for Stacy Browm might be good even though it may never reform him.

What a bunch of crap. Stacy Brown is a total moron. Like Datsymay said, Michael was already bigger then Elvis anyway by that time.

I'm glad Frank confronted this blow hard. If he's talking to tard face Bob Jones, then why the hell is he quoting it to Frank? Probably because he knows Bob Jones has zero credibility at this point.

God I'm sick of this crap.
 
Little Update:

Lee Bailey from Eurweb is putting up a correction tomorrow re: Frank Dileo in that he did not give any quote to Stacy Brown. Mr. Bailey spoke with Frank on the phone and said it would go up tomorrow.

Thank you Mr. Bailey.
 
Whoa! Frank don't play. Frank is gangstah! Him and Mike got those ganstah ways.

I think that what Stacy is looking for is a job. He wanted a response from the Jackson family, preferably Michael, so that he can get called by FOX or MSNBC and talk about Michael and get paid.

this is a gem of a find.. and I do remember that quote from her on the Grammy's...

this is excellent... Michael being handled by asmall company with excellent expertise.. is such a win-win situation for Michael...

She knows him and knows the business ... and I think she has been involved for a while with Michael on this comeback...

I also think this is why some idiot thinks Ms Bains was fired when she wasn't... personally.. Ms Bains position was never to be an expertise in the music/marketing part for Michael ...........but to orchestrate and get him in touch with the right people.. he needs...........remember.. she brought McMillan to the table...

Just Loving it!

Sony ATV is repped by everyone in blue
 
So would Lois Najarian be in the same position as Sandy Gallin from the past?

Sandy Gallin's role would have been the same as Raymone's . They're the ones who handle the majority of PR for a celebrity whereas someone like Lois is mainly record company based as far as PR. Like Gail mentioned, she's from Epic and seems to be on the scene as far as T25-related things.

Thanks to all for the newsbits. Just to add a little update to the Trashy Brown story, Inside Edition did a piece about Marlon working at the grocery store and they found "a Marlon Jakson" had worked at Von's in ....dun dun dunnn.... 2006. Yes, TWO years ago... and he worked there for only 3 months. What year are we in again? LOL!! Whether it was Michael's brother Marlon Jackson or not, that couldn't be confirmed. BUT a lawyer for the family "allegedly" said that as far as they knew Marlon was not employed by the store currently. I was trying not to comment on this story at all, but thought I'd add the update to show this whole Vons thing was false and misrepresented info as well.

Edit: I think Sandy was also part management if I'm not mistaken...like DiLeo. Don't quote me tho. lol
