Jackie and younger brother Michael Jackson share a moment
Joe Jackson, dad of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, stated yesterday, 25-year-old Omer Bhatti, is the fourth child of his late son. This contradicts what Bhatti stated last week. A DNA test is in order to determine true paternity.
Omer Bhatti
Joe Jackson stated to Newsone.com, "Yes I knew he had another son, yes I did. He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson. This boy is a fantastic dancer as a matter of fact. I don't know (if he will be the future of the Jacksons). I can't say that yet until I see it happen."

JACKSON'S FATHER CONFIRMS IDENTITY OF FOURTH CHILD
MICHAEL JACKSON's father JOE has confirmed the late King of Pop was the biological father of OMER BHATTI, the boy long rumoured to be his fourth child.
Speculation surrounding the relationship between Jackson and the 25-year-old dancer reached fever pitch after Bhatti was given a front row seat at the entertainer's Los Angeles memorial service in July (09).
Bhatti is said to have requested a DNA test to determine if Jackson was his dad, amid reports the singer fathered him after a one night stand in 1984.
Joe Jackson has now stepped in to end the long-standing rumours, noting the pair's striking similarities and insisting he's always known about his son's secret child.
He tells Newsone.com, "Yes I knew he had another son, yes I did. He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson. This boy is a fantastic dancer as a matter of fact. I don't know (if he will be the future of the Jacksons). I can't say that yet until I see it happen."... 30 July 2009 19:16

Thu Jul 30, 2009 2:40pm EDT - LOS ANGELES, July 30 (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's mother will get custody of the late pop star's three children after reaching an agreement with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, avoiding a custody battle only days before a court hearing on the matter.
Rowe will have visitation rights with her two biological children with Jackson -- Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, under the terms of the agreement, lawyers said on Thursday...
Hollywood has corrupted the local film commission in New Orleans. Film commission director, Mark S. Smith, was taking kickbacks, issued by film studios and passed on via check to third parties, then given to him in cash, for accepting fake film budgets that were inflated and giving large tax and cash rebates in exchange for his corrupted services.
A FBI agent stated of the case, "We will work together to identify those individuals who conspire with each other to defraud the system to benefit themselves, while the state, its reputation and its citizens suffer."
Robert S. Mueller
I am not impressed with this vanity arrest by Robert S. Mueller's FBI. Since when does the FBI care about "reputation" and "citizens suffering" when it allows a dirty pop fraud, Madonna, to run lose, engaging in massive financial crimes, that severely defrauded and abused a black immigrant family, to the point, audiences domestically and worldwide, were so appalled they boycotted she and her Hollywood conspirators to such degrees, their sales plunged into obscurity and commercial failure.
It's a shame it takes everyday people to do what the FBI is too cowardly and corrupt to do. But you can continue to allow those depraved beasts like Madonna, to run loose in Hollywood, committing financial crime after crime and see what it does for investor confidence domestically and worldwide.
Madwoman Madonna
Madonna and her associates at Sony, among others in Hollywood, are clearly illustrating for the whole world to see, corruption, financial fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and other unsavory monetary schemes, are still the order of the day in corporate America.
That's the worst possible testimony that can be rendered, one visibly seen by millions of readers, many of whom are potential investors, while many others are members of dozens of world governments and financial firms.
Former Louisiana Film Commission Director Sentenced in Bribery Scheme
NEW ORLEANS, LA—Mark S. Smith, the former Director of the Louisiana Film Commission and an attorney, age 47, a resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was sentenced this morning in federal court by U. S. District Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt to two years (24 months) in federal prison as well as pay a $67,500 fine, announced U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.
In addition, Judge Engelhardt ordered that SMITH serve three (3) years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment, during which time he will be under federal supervision and risk additional imprisonment should he violate any terms of the supervision.
According to court documents, SMITH pled guilty on September 7, 2007 to a two-count Bill of Information charging him with conspiracy and bribery in connection with a program receiving federal funds. SMITH admitted that between 2003 and 2005, while serving as Director of the Louisiana Film Commission, he approved fraudulently inflated movie budgets submitted by a film production company in order for the film company to receive state tax credits. In return, SMITH accepted cash bribes totaling over $65,000.00. Additionally, SMITH admitted that a businessman wrote corporate checks to a third party who cashed the checks and passed the cash to SMITH.
Michael J. De Palma, Special Agent in Charge of Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation stated:
"The film industry is important for the future economy of Louisiana. Today's sentence makes it clear that the federal law enforcement community and the United States Attorney's Office will work together to identify those individuals who conspire with each other to defraud the system to benefit themselves, while the state, its reputation and its citizens suffer. Special Agents of IRS Criminal Investigation are highly skilled investigators who will continue to work with the FBI and other federal and state law enforcement partners to ferret out corruption wherever it is found."
Two other individuals, William Bradley, a Hammond attorney, and Malcolm Petal, a film executive and attorney were charged, pled guilty and sentenced in a related separate case before U.S. District Judge Lance M. Africk.
Bradley, charged with conspiracy to bribe a state official was sentenced to serve ten months in federal prison. Malcolm Petal, also charged with conspiracy, was sentenced to serve five years in jail, a fine of $15,000.00 and restitution to the State of Louisiana of $1,350,000.00...
A judge clearly gone bad, Bobby DeLaughter, will plead guilty to lying to a, FBI agent that was investigating judicial corruption in Mississippi.
There is nothing funny about DeLaughter's conduct, as he tried to corruptly obtain a federal judgeship, by conspiring with a defendant in a multi-billion dollar tobacco civil case, in exchange for assistance in obtaining career advancement in the judiciary, via the brother-in-law of former U.S. Senator, Tren Lott.
What's even more disappointing is, Delaughter was a prosecutor, who is the basis for a character in the movie "Ghosts of Mississippi" regarding the trial that brought white supremacists to justice, for the heinous murder of innocent civil rights figure, Medgar Evers.
Miss. judge to plead guilty to lying to FBI agent
JACKSON, Miss. — A Mississippi judge known for successfully prosecuting a white supremacist decades after a civil rights-era killing will plead guilty to lying to an FBI agent investigating judicial corruption, the judge's attorney said Tuesday.
Thomas Durkin said Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter will enter the plea in U.S. District Court in Aberdeen. Trial was set for Aug. 17 in Oxford, with DeLaughter facing charges of conspiracy, obstruction and three counts of mail fraud.
DeLaughter has had a storied career, beginning in the 1990s when he was a prosecutor who helped put white supremacist Byron de la Beckwith behind bars for the 30-year-old murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. He was portrayed by Alec Baldwin in the 1996 movie "Ghosts of Mississippi," which was based on Beckwith's prosecution. DeLaughter also wrote a book about the trial.
Prosecutors have said DeLaughter's ambition to become a federal judge ultimately led him to break the law. He was accused of giving an unfair advantage to Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, a chief architect of the multibillion-dollar tobacco settlements of the 1990s, in a dispute over millions of dollars in fees from asbestos lawsuits.
Authorities have said Scruggs, who is now in prison, and others promised DeLaughter they could help him be considered for an open seat on the federal bench with help from Scruggs' brother-in-law, then-U.S. Sen. Trent Lott. Lott is not accused of wrongdoing...
It has been confirmed, Hal Turner, a white supremacist blogger, arraigned for threatening a judge, is indeed an FBI informant, as previously and unlawfully disclosed, when hackers published items from his email account, showing communiqués between the two.
It never ceases to amaze me the type of shady characters the FBI will enlist, often as paid informants, using taxpayer money to compensate men and women, who do not deserve it.
Lawyer: Man accused of judge threat was FBI source
CHICAGO — A New Jersey blogger accused of threatening to kill three federal judges has been an FBI informant and even told authorities about a potential plot to assassinate President Barack Obama, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Blogger Hal Turner pleaded not guilty earlier in the day to charges that he threatened to kill three Chicago-based federal appeals judges...
Video: Police release 911 tapes from Gates arrest - WWLP.com
The Cambridge Police Department is not having a good month. Already under fire for racially profiling African-American, Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., they are now facing another race based incident.
Gates Jr. and Crowley to meet with Obama tomorrow
Cambridge police officer, Justin Barrett, has been suspended for sending out a mass email, referring to professor Gates as a "jungle monkey" which is a very derisive racial slur for black people.
Justin Barrett
There is another unverified photo online of a Cambridge Police officer entering his vehicle with a racially tinged personalized license plate. These three incidents give off a very negative vibe about the Cambridge Police Department when it comes to race issues.
Henry Louis Gates Jr.
911 caller, Lucia Whalen, also spoke publicly today, denouncing the conduct of arresting officer James Crowley, who put words in her mouth regarding the wrongful arrest of Gates, stating she volunteered information about the race of the alleged suspects, when tapes later revealed she did not. Whalen has been threatened and harassed thanks to Officer Crowley's untruths. Poor lady.
James Crowley
The important thing to remember is there are many good cops out there, not just in America, but all over the world. However, it is rather sad when the actions of a few taint the badge.
Don't they look alike:
James Crowley
Michael Imperioli (actor)
Just like reporters are compelled to use truth in reporting, officers should be as well, as authoring false police reports is corrupt.
Officer suspended for Gates slur in e-mail
July 29, 2009 07:35 PM - An officer in the Boston Police Department was suspended yesterday for allegedly writing a racially charged e-mail about Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. to colleagues at the National Guard, a law enforcement official said. Mayor Thomas M. Menino compared the officer to a cancer and said he is "gone, g-o-n-e'' from the force.
The law enforcement official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Officer Justin Barrett referred to the black scholar as a "jungle monkey" in the letter, written in reaction to media coverage of Gates's arrest July 16.
Barrett, a 36-year-old who has been on the job for two years, was stripped of his gun and badge yesterday and faces a termination hearing in the next week, said police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll. He has no previous disciplinary record, she said.
"Yesterday afternoon, Commissioner Davis was made aware that Officer Barrett was the author of correspondence which included racially charged language," she said. "At that time, Commissioner Davis immediately stripped Officer Barrett of his gun and badge, and at this time we will be moving forward with the hearing process." ...
Caller Says She Didn’t Mention Race to Officer in Gates Case
July 29, 2009 - CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Lucia Whalen, whose 911 call led to the arrest of the Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home, made her first public comments Wednesday, saying at no time did she ever mention race to the responding police officer.
Ms. Whalen, 40, her voice cracking, said she was deeply hurt by the reaction to the incident on July 16...
“When I was called a racist, I was the target of scorn and ridicule because of things I never said,” she told the reporters gathered in a park here at midday. She added, “The criticism hurt me as a person but also hurt the community of Cambridge.” ...

Britain Says It Fears 2 Hostages in Iraq Are Dead

Ruth Madoff, the wife of incarcerated ponzi schemer, Bernard Madoff, has been sued by a trustee, seeking $45 million dollars in damages, for defrauded investors.
Ruth Madoff, was allowed to keep $2.5 million as apart of a plea deal her husband struck with the federal government, in exchange for a confession.
However, that money is set to be wiped out via legal fees and judgments, from lawsuit after lawsuit, filed by fleeced investors. I think it is just desserts, as the Madoffs unlawfully lived lavishly off the proceeds of financial crimes. Investors should also sue Madoff's sons and their wives and ex-wives, who pocketed millions in fraud money.
Ruth Madoff sued for $45 million
Last Updated: July 29, 2009: 3:13 PM ET - Court-appointed trustee claims Ruth Madoff has $44.8 million and wants her to turn it over for victims. Her lawyer says suit is 'perplexing.'
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Ruth Madoff, wife of imprisoned Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, was sued Wednesday by a court-appointed trustee seeking $45 million in funds to compensate victims.
Last month, federal authorities seized the Madoffs' assets but left Ruth Madoff with $2.5 million -- an amount they could not tie to her husband's massive and long-running Ponzi scheme.
But Irving Pickard, the trustee appointed by U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, said that Ruth received $44.8 million in "fraudulent" transfers during the six years leading up to the bankruptcy of her husband's investment firm.
"While Madoff's crimes have left many investors impoverished and some charities decimated, Mrs. Madoff remains a person of substantial means," Pickard wrote in the suit. "The inequity between Mrs. Madoff's continuing financial advantages and the economic distress of Madoff's customers compels the trustee to bring this action."
Ruth Madoff's lawyer described the trustee's lawsuit as "perplexing" and unwarranted...
There are several new developments in the investigation regarding the death of pop singer, Michael Jackson. Jackson's former nurse stated the coroner told her Michael was "a drug addict." By his own public admission, almost 15-years ago, he had a problem with prescription drugs that he clearly did not conquer.
Jackson had too many enablers and yes men around him and it cost him his life. It doesn't matter who you are in life, we all need someone that will us the truth if we go astray.
Police continue to target Jackson's last doctor, Conrad Murray. He and several of Jackson's past doctors, for well over two decades, behaved inappropriately in prescribing him drugs they should not have, as it was outside their area of practice and dangerous in said quantities.
Jackson's dermatologist, Arnold Klein, should not have prescribed Demerol for him either, as what does that have to do with skin care.
An anesthesiologist affiliated with Klein is also under investigation for putting Jackson under anesthetic for procedures that do not require it.
Mr. Murray is in financial straits, which explains, but does not justify, his criminally negligence conduct, in administering the potent drug, Propofol, without a license and outside of a hospital setting. It was reportedly a habit Jackson engaged in for two years.
The mortgage for his rambling Las Vegas home is in arrears to the tune of $15,000. His medical practice was also hit with over $450,000 in medical claims. His partner faced serious medical board issues, as their practice was described as a "pill mill" prior to Jackson becoming a client.
Murray's medical certification also expired in December 2008 and was not renewed. He previously faced suspensions from a Houston hospital for misconduct in not turning over patient files.
Clearly the lure of lucre tempted him into violating his ethics time and time again, landing him in this predicament regarding Jackson.
A good doctor will not overmedicate you. A good doctor will not overcharge you. And most of all - a good doctor knows when to tell the patient no.
The glare of fame has seduced many a doctor and lawyer into making very poor decisions that in some cases turned deadly for clients and other members of the public.
Hollywood is a hedonistic town where its famous denizens and executives believe, they are to have anything they desire without consequence. However, the rules of the universe God put in place, such as biology, physics and the spiritual laws of life, are suspended for no one.
The prescription pill culture has been alive and not so well in Hollywood for decades. They even joke about it in films and on sitcoms, but it is no laughing matter.
This story is also a sad reminder of what happens when fame and lecherous people cause others to shut their families out, who would furnish them with some objectivity and honesty.
Megan Fox has her own day, August 4th, 2009, but it is not exactly an honor. A number of male websites, tired of the mean girl, decided to call for a one day ban on all things Megan Fox.
Her 15 minutes of fame is running out, mostly due to the things she says, her skanky and odd dress sense and the cosmetic surgery she has undergone that is changing her face.
I cannot promise my support during this blackout, as she may do something really, well, ridiculous, saying something very outlandish, on the 3rd or 4th. She might say something Paris-Hilton-esque such as, "London is not in the UK" and I'm not gonna let that slide (LOL).
Translation in webmaster speak: my "Megan is vapid" posts bring in alot of website hits. I'm sorry, I'm addicted to website hits/unique-users, like Beyonce is addicted to weaves and like Rihanna is addicted to backhands from Chris Brown, or else, why would she go back to him. I can't help you with this blackout (LOL).

Sony singers and thieves, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce Knowles, are fighting over a derivative dance music beat, one the former claims she had before the latter, used on the higher charting song "Halo." Beyonce singing about halos is hilarious. Someone that evil should be singing about horns not halos.
Beyonce Knowles
Side Bar: Clive Davis already hated Kelly Clarkson from their last public scrap, therefore, I'm really not of the opinion he cares what happens to her flatlined career anymore and Beyonce was always a problem with the multiple theft and fraud lawsuits. He always knew she wouldn't be the next Whitney, but the next Britney, trendy, but crazy, troublesome and selfish.
Trouble between Kelly Clarkson and label?
11:13 am July 29, 2009, by Rodney Ho - Perez Hilton is fanning the flames after Kelly Clarkson complained that the single “Already Gone” was released without her approval. His twist is that the label said it would not support the album anymore if “Already Gone” wasn’t released so she relented.
True or not, I do appreciate Kelly’s honesty and her need to control her own destiny. But there are consequences to airing dirty laundry.
So far, the single is not getting much traction on top 40 radio that I can tell.
Ryan Tedder, the songwriter who gave identical song samples to both Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson, responded on his MySpace page in part, then took it down. You can read what he said on MJ’s blog.
This economic downturn is making people grumpy. Shirlena Allen, the hairstylist for Sony artist Ciara, whose current album bombed, slammed her client online this week, for wearing a wig and contact lenses, apart of a look she designed for her...a year ago. The stylist took the untimely conduct very personally. She referred to Ciara as being one year behind the trend. Ouch!
Rihanna
Well, what does that say for Rihanna, as the yellow eyes and chopped up black wig is the look she ripped off and adapted from labelmate FeFe Dobson.
Side Bar: is it a coincidence that 50 Cent dropped Ciara right as her album dropped and flopped.
STYLIST UPSET OVER CIARA'S NEW LOOK
R&B star CIARA's new cropped look has landed the singer in a lot of trouble with her ex-stylist. Shirlena Allen insists the Goodies hitmaker's hot new hairdo is all thanks to a wig Ciara has yet to return to her - and the style queen is still awaiting payment for her work on the singer's image a year ago.
In a furious email to website Bossip.com, Allen rages, "The wig used and work (done) on the photo shoot, she (Ciara) doesn’t even want to pay me for it. She’s a year behind all of it.
"I ask for the wig back a year ago, she says she cant find it (sic)." Ciara posted her 'new' look on her Twitter.com page, and Allen is demanding credit.
She adds, "We spent hours trying to find this child a look and she still bites... Now she looks like a knock off."
