“He Knew.
Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy. All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted. I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once. Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated. When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions. I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now. As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right. I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Wow. What a powerful entry that was. It just gives you a glimpse into the complicated, amazing man Michael was. It also makes you take a step back and realize that you should never judge someone you don’t know.

She took to her Myspace Celebrity blog to unleash her feelings about how the world views the religion, which she is a believer in.
She also took time to acknowledge John Travolta and his family, with whom Lisa said she is very close with, and sympathized with them at this difficult time. Here’s part of her blog entry.
On John and Kelly losing their son Jett:
“My heart is crying and bleeding for them. I personally would not have it in me to bury my own child. I am writing this because I have noticed that for the most part, people and the media have been very sympathetic and respectful, but there are those certain ones that want to use this horrible tragedy as an opportunity to once again, blame and or attack Scientology?”
On the way Scientology is viewed:
“Folks, as popular as it has been to discriminate and ridicule Scientology and Scientologist’s in the recent past , Now is NOT the time. I realize that there is a lot of mis information out there about the subject which has caused a lot of stone throwing but we are not still in the dark ages and it is still an Unconstitutional Injustice to partake in and encourage such condemnation.”
Lisa did end things on a good note, though, and briefly mentioned her own children, twins Harper and Finley, who were born in October.
She says, “PS, I am so sorry it has been such a long time since I have written. I have just been soaking up the love and the happiness that these two little babies have brought us. More on that soon…….:) Thank you so much for all of your well wishes. I love and miss you very much. I’ll be in touch.”
We agree with Lisa Marie that this is definitely not the time to be bashing Scientology or bringing the Travoltas into it. They have enough to deal with right now. For Lisa’s full blog entry, click here.

“Lisa Marie is mom to four now! She’s feeling good, a little tired too,” a friend of the family told Star Magazine. “She is so happy and Michael is ecstatic. He’s wanted to be a dad for so long. This is his dream come true.”
“There was no drama. The babies are healthy and beautiful. Ben was seen pushing them down the hall in their cart and cooing to them,” the blabber mouth friend added.
Lisa Marie now has a total of 4 children.

Hello ! So Sorry it has been so long.
THANK YOU so much for all of the amazing positive energy and beautiful well wishes you are sending our way, we love reading them. We are beyond thrilled and Blessed, elated and saturated in happiness.
I have to say a couple of things that I feel are important to say right now.
A few months ago, I did a quick interview with Entertainment Tonight and I Stuck my foot in my mouth and said that I was having twins by accident.
I BEGGED them to edit that out and not say anything yet as I wasn't ready for it to be out there then, but that when I was , I would give it to them exclusively.
They really could have ran with it but they said they would not.
They actually kept their word which I found so refreshing, I couldn't believe it.
I really want to thank them for that. They are one of the last remaining Entertainment news shows that has kept its dignity and high standards in the current morally degraded climate we are now in.
In the past couple of years, high profile type people seem to have less and less rights , less privacy and protection. The onslaught of internet and tabloid sites mostly want only blood now. They have managed to make being a public figure a 24/7 public stoning and execution of various sorts. Some obviously more brutal than others.
It is so nice that ET does not engage in that and that they still respect people , entertainers and artists. That they see and respect their value in society and still give them some dignity and respect.
THANK YOU !!!!!! :)
Now,
I have been asked where the Pictures that are appearing on ET are coming from.
They were taken by Davis Factor and 2 of them will appear in Marie Claire.
Unfortunately , I can't get behind the article that goes along with them though.
I gave a 3 hour heart felt interview and what became of it was Quotes that were usually about something else entirely in the conversation , grossly simplified and taken way out of context and sprinkled randomly and erroneously throughout the 2 pages.
If you want it for the photos then great but I am not behind the article at all.
I MISS YOU
I hope you are happy (or at least mildly amused... )
For those who have been asking me, I am not recording at the moment as there isn't much room for breathing and singing right now, most of that area has been taken up and I cant really sing a line without running out of air halfway though. Writing and recording will resume when the little occupants in there have decided to join the outside world:)
Take Care and talk to you soon

"She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, you know, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they're having and when it's time to make the announcement," Priscilla confirmed to ET.
Twins seem to common in the famiy. Lisa Marie's dad, Elvis happened to be a twin and Priscilla's younger brothers are twins.
Now everyone can stop with the "why is Lisa Marie so big" comments. It's cause the girl is having twins!
