German "Friends" Are Back

It's been revealed that an unnamed team in Germany still tries to interfere with Michael Jackson business interests.

This is the very same team behind the new "Thriller 25" book, that they claimed to be an official release written by Michael Jackson himself. However neither Mr. Jackson's spokesperson and his music manager knows nothing about this book.

This team promised us with an official press release from Sony or Mr. Jackson's management, that never happened. They clearly misled the fans and the buyers.

They have registered the thriller25.com domain name as well, however the site has been shut down recently.

More to come soon...

Updates About The Unreleased Michael Jackson Tapes

Richard Altomare, the former president of Universal Express threated Michael Jackson several months ago with taking him on court and "giving the boy a lesson". Now Jackson prepares for his next studio album, and Altomare is busy with keeping his ass out of jail.

Altomare turned out to be a professional scammer who tried to get posession over some unreleased Jackson tapes. Below you can read the latest updates about these tapes:

"Altomare initially insisted in writing that he, not Universal Express, owned the master tapes of the Jackson recordings, and did not turn over those tapes to the Receiver until ordered to
do so by this Court. (See Order of Jan. 11, 2008.) In any event, the cost of the litigation over the
memorabilia, in addition to the cost of the memorabilia’s maintenance and preservation, will
likely turn out to be more of a liability than an asset for Universal Express."

New Uri Geller Interview

New Uri Geller Interview

Uri Geller recently gave an interview to a Hungarian radio station in which he talked about Michael Jackson as well.

Uri revealed that his friendship with Jackson is over.

"I don't wanna talk about it..."- said Uri.

He insisted that the breakup with Jackson started out when the pop star did several outrageous anti-semite statements. However Uri admitted that he can not be sure if Michael really said anything like this.

Uri furthermore discussed his participation on the "Invincible" album, and about the famous hypnosis story. He was very positive and supportive towards Jackson.

"Michael said to me under hypnosis, that he paid the kids because he could not take the pressure anymore. He is innocent, I'm 100% sure of it!"- said Uri.

"I've made a big mistake! I introduced him to Martin Bashir. He was the one who produced that documentary about Michael, that was the core of all of his problems."- however in Uri's opinion Jackson did a mistake as well.

"I feel like that he is still very angry at me."

Michael In Bossa

A recent CD release from Universal Japan.

"The music of Michael Jackson like you've never heard it before -- served up in a gentle bossa nova mode that's miles from Motown and from his bigger hits of the 80s! The tunes here are plenty darn familiar, but the versions are all quite fresh -- contemporary bossa takes on the older sounds of Jackson -- done by a handful of like-minded artists who give the album a very unified feel. Material was originally recorded by the Albatroz label in Brazil -- and although the singers vary a bit from track to track, its our guess that instrumentation is by a core jazzy combo on all the numbers. Titles include "Beat It" and "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" by Chris Delano, "Human Nature" and "Rock With You" by Marcela Mangabeira, "Billie Jean" by Barbara Mendes, "The Lady In My Life" by Dudu Braga, "Thriller" by Lulu Joppert, "Man In The Mirror" by Paulinho Loureiro, and "I Can't Help It" by Deco Fiori."
