Michael Jackson Will Be Debt Free

According to a recent interview with a Michael Jackson associate, the star has $100 million in loans. This is a good news indeed: the very same loan was more then $300 million back in 2005.

If Jackson will pay his loans like this, then he will be DEBT FREE before 2011 (and we did not take into consideration his incomes from the AEG Live deal).

Updates on Michael Jackson's Domain Names

As I have first reported, Michael Jackson's "MJJ Productions" registered a new domain name for Jackson's live performances and will manage the website along with "AEG Live".

At the same time Jackson's other registered domain names has been forwarded to this new address under MichaelJacksonLive.com

This means another "house-cleaning" in Jackson's world, since his domains were forwared to an unrelevant website for years. Most of his domains expired since then, but he kept the most important ones:

michael-jackson.net
michael-jackson.org

Jackson's official spokesperson, Tohme R. Tohme and Jackson's new business partner, James L. Nederlander has been deposed in the case already.

Jackson Visits His Longtime Doctor

Take a closer look at the picture.

Dr. Klein's office in Beverly Hills, next to the Mickey Fine Pharmacy. The same white painted walls and brown bricks.

It's been rumored that Michael Jackson's recent visits to a Beverly Hills medical center were somehow in connection with his longtime dermatologist.

Now I can confirm that Jackson visited Dr. Klein at least three times in the last 4 months.

On December 19, 2008 Jackson left Dr. Klein's office along with the doctor himself, however they have not been fully pictured together.

On the above taken picture from December 31, 2008 Jackson's car glints a "Mickey Fine Pharmacy" street ad. Mickey Fine Pharmacy can be found next to Dr. Klein's office in Beverly Hills. In the past Jackson was a frequent buyer at Mickey Fine Pharmacy.
