Michael Jackson Archives

Three days after his son Michael Jackson death, 80-year-old Joe Jackson hits the red carpet the 2009 BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday (June 28) in Los Angeles.

Towards the end of his interview with CNN, Joe took the opportunity to promote his new business venture, a record label. Watch the interview below! The record label talk starts around the 3:15 mark.

And here is the statement one of the family’s publicists read during the interview: “Our beloved son Michael Jackson loved you all. Michael’s children are our first priority. We will have further announcements to discuss our plans going forward. Until such time, however, we have the personal and legal authority to act, and solely Katherine and I have authority for our son and his children. We wish to handle his memory and legacy with dignity. The attorney for the Jacksons is L. Londell McMillan and no one has the authority to speak on behalf of the Jackson family at this time.”

Michael Jackson continues to cover magazines, this time with a special collector’s edition of TV Guide.

The 50-year-old legendary singer, dancer and entertainer shares the cover with “An Angel Remebered” Farrah Fawcett.

The publication is “A Tribute To the King of Pop”, 1958-2009.

The Filipino prisoners, most famous for their YouTube video of “Thriller”, paid tribute to their idol, Michael Jackson, on Saturday.

The 1,500 dancing inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) practiced for nine consecutive hours Friday night/Saturday morning and only took breaks only to eat or when it rained. What dedication!!!

On Thursday night’s episode of Anderson Cooper 360, CNN dream host Anderson Cooper shared about the first time he met Michael Jackson.

The 42-year-old Silver Fox shared, “When I was 10, for some odd reason, I went to [disco epicenter] Studio 54 with Michael Jackson and a bunch of people. I had no idea who he was. I saw him dance, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s a good dancer.’”

Coop continued, “Why I was at Studio 54 is a whole other story. Child welfare will want to talk to my mom [Gloria Vanderbilt] about that.”

Of course, Anderson did not dance with Michael! (He has refused to dance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Live with Regis and Kelly.)

Check out the vid of Coop talking Michael below!
