Sheriff probing whether coroner’s employees sold Michael Jackson information
6:27 PM | July 24, 2009
Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators launched an inquiry Friday into whether county coroner’s employees illegally leaked or sold private information from Michael Jackson’s death investigation.
“They just want to make sure that nothing criminal has occurred,” sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
Whitmore said sheriff’s investigators contacted coroner’s staff Friday and planned to handle the inquiry with the district attorney’s office. He said they were asked to investigate by county supervisors.
Supervisors have also called for a county audit of the coroner’s office, said Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. There’s “enough concern about what’s going on in the coroner’s office” to merit the investigations, he said.
LA coroner seeks records from Jackson nutritionist
Michael Jackson’s former nutritionist is the latest person authorities are tapping as they piece together the star’s medical history.

Feds Raid Conrad Murray’s Houston Office
Law enforcement officials have raided the Houston office of the doctor who was with Michael Jackson when he died.
Officials raided Dr. Conrad Murray’s Armstrong Medical Clinic in Acres Homes Wednesday morning, acting on a search warrant acquired by the LAPD.

Murray, a cardiologist with offices in Houston and Las Vegas, was with Jackson when the 50-year-old pop star suddenly went into cardiac arrest in his rented Los Angeles home last month.
Leonard Rowe Fired by Jackson in May 2009 MiniB#75
Last night (July 20 2009) on CNN’s Larry King Live a concert promoter by the name of Leonard Rowe appeared on the show claiming to have a close relationship to Michael Jackson for 30 years. He also alleged Jackson didn’t want to do 50 shows in London and had no idea what his deal with AEG entailed.
He made a number of allegations which, regardless of whether they’re true or not, made him look irresponsible and dubious.
At some point apparently Rowe claimed to have been working for Jackson at the time of his death. However, a letter has surfaced showing the singer supposedly rethought letting Rowe into his inner circle.

Michael Jackson Makes History On Euro Charts
In a history-making week on Billboard’s European Top 100 Albums, Michael Jackson holds down a spectacular eight of the top ten titles. Meanwhile, “When Love Takes Over” (Positiva/EMI) by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland starts a second week atop European Hot 100 Singles.
Jackson’s domination also represents a near-lockout of the pan-European top ten for Epic/Sony Music Entertainment, in which last year’s “King of Pop” compilation again comes out on top. It leads the way in no fewer than eight markets, holding at No. 1 in Germany and Austria, moving 77-1 in the Belgian region of Flanders, 6-1 in neighboring Wallony, 13-1 in Poland, 3-1 in Holland and 2-1 in Switzerland and Spain. It’s top five in five other territories.
Jackson still king of album charts
Michael Jackson has sold 2.3 million CDs since he died three weeks ago.

Debbie Rowe’s Shocking Custody Emails
Rebecca White, a close friend of Debbie Rowe, is opening up exclusively to “Extra” about emails written by Rowe to White regarding the custody of Michael Jackson’s children, sent just days after Jackson’s death.
“I know she’s seeking custody of the children,” Rebecca reveals. “I think she wants the best for the children.”
In an email dated July 2, 2009, Rowe’s writing suggests that she appears to be conflicted about going after her biological children — Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11. “I’m not going after custody,” Debbie writes to Rebecca. “These kids are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael’s. I was Michael’s best friend.”
CNN: Jackson Media Coverage Criticized – MiniB#74 UPDATE
{xtypo_dropcap}D{/xtypo_dropcap}espite the way their own network has participated in adding dubious allegations into the mix, a panel on Larry King Live last night criticized the media coverage surrounding Michael Jackson’s passing.
Those who complain about the amount of coverage given to Jackson’s death are missing the point. It is not the amount of coverage but rather the type of coverage which is drawing the ire of fan and non-fan alike.
Much of the story right now is unknown. The only fact we know for sure is that 50 year old Michael Jackson is no longer walking the earth. Everything else is total conjecture laced with rumors wrapped in unfounded nonsense.
And why is the tv coverage saturated with shrill harpies, hangers-on, and those who want to jumpstart their careers by entering into the fray with a bunch of hateful accusations seemingly pulled directly out of their arse? I know that last description sounds like Gerald Posner but stay with me for a minute.
