Speaking out for the first time since Michael Jackson's sudden death on June 25, the singer's sister LaToya Jackson, 53, is raising alarming allegations.
"Michael was murdered," LaToya claims in an exclusive interview with London newspaper the News of the World.
“We don't think just one person was involved in the murder," she added, refusing to name the people she believes are responsible for the death during her four-hour interview in L.A. “It was a conspiracy to get Michael's money."
According to LaToya, Jackson himself always feared for his life. "A couple of years ago Michael told me he was worried that people were out to get him,” she told the paper. "He said, 'They're gonna kill me for my publishing. They want my catalogues and they're gonna kill me for these.' "

Your Black News: Latoya Jackson Says Michael Was Murdered
The Game Says that Jay-Z and Beyonce are Shooting Blanks
Damn. The beef between Jay Z and The Game is coming to a head, as The Game had the audacity to say that Jigga can’t jiggle out no semen that actually works. Remember when Jay Z said that Chris Brown is a “dead man walking”? Maybe he shoulda been talking about his own sperm.
Did Cosby Leave a Woman Hanging Out to Dry?
Recently, I listened to yet another radio debate about the manner in which Bill Cosby talked about the plight of some black people at least 5 years ago. Economically speaking, I too would be considered one of the working poor in the African American community mentioned, however, some of the words used to describe the behavior associated with this class of people did not fit me or others that I personally know. In fact, I am a highly, educated single mother with a master’s degree in social work. I also hold a bachelor’s of broadcast journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, arguably one of the finest J-Schools in the nation. I’ve been employed, unemployed, underemployed, upset, bewildered, disappointed, depressed and even disgusted.
Interestingly, none of the books I’ve read about “lower economic people” who are believed to be “failing the civil rights movement by not holding up their end of this deal,” invited me or others to the table to discuss individual situations or the people I encounter as a social worker who are simply trying to make this thing called life work the best way he or she knows how. Just because a school is open does not mean what is being taught is adequate. Just because there is a hosptial near by doesn’t mean I am welcome there or can afford to be seen there. In fact, recently I learned that I need a major operation but I don’t have insurance to cover the projected $20,000 cost. Did I mention, I work full-time?

Black News: Rihanna Thinks Jamie Foxx is a Boob

Rihanna is apparently livid with Jamie Foxx for forcing her to come on stage with him while her titty was hanging out of her dress! Jamie asked her to come on, and she refused. When she got up to try to leave, Jamie told the D-jay to play “Umbrella”, and Jamie said “You can’t leave when your song is playing!” She was then forced to play it off and come on stage with him…..wearing that outfit!
Needless to say….Rihanna is pissed!
Black Love: Nicole Spence Has a Very “Heady” and Real Conversation
I just love my guy friends we just always seem to engage in the craziest of personal conversations. Last night a friend of mine, hmmm let's call him Jack. Jack and I got together with my girlfriend Jihan and a light skin guy friend of his, whose name escapes me at the moment.
We of course start knocking back the drinks and adult conversation. Jack starts talking about " Yea ya'll can't handle me, I'm Nasty in bed!" (Oh word) He explains that has been to several sex parties and all type of menages. Shut Up! Who knew I was friends with such a freak nasty!

Black News: Michael’s Nasty Drug Habit
Singer Michael Jackson took more than 10 Xanax pills a night, asking his employees to get the prescription medicine under their names and also personally traveling to doctors' offices in other states to obtain them, said a confidential document from 2004 that CNN obtained Thursday.
Los Angeles detectives are waiting on the coroner's report on the death of Michael Jackson.
![]()
The document from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department contains confidential interviews conducted with two of Jackson's former security guards as officials prepared for Jackson's child molestation trial in 2005.
The singer was acquitted after the 14-week trial. But the information about the pills, and the lengths Jackson went to get them, adds to a growing mountain of claims tying the insomniac singer to drugs in recent days.
According to the drug's Web site, Xanax is for the treatment of panic disorder.
Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton said Thursday detectives have spoken to a number of doctors who have treated Jackson over the years, and are looking into the singer's prescription drug history.
Doctors who did not cooperate with investigators were issued subpoenas, a source told CNN Thursday. If needed, authorities will issue more, the source said.

Your Black Writer Asks: Is Drake Just Stupid?
By Casey Gane-McCalla July 8, 2009 3:49 pm
Dear Drake,
Congratulations on signing a deal with Universal, but I’m not sure why you signed a deal with a label when you had the number 3 song on iTunes. You’re a talented guy who can write, sing, rap and have already had an acting career but I think you are starting things off on the wrong foot.
One thing I don’t understand is why you signed to Lil Wayne’s label. Lil Wayne is a prescription cough syrup-drinking, Blood gang-promoting, weapon-packing, pseudo gangsta rapper. While Wayne was brought up in one of the roughest projects in America and taken in by an ex con who brought him into the rap world, you were brought up in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Toronto, Canada by a wealthy Jewish woman and went to a prestigious private school. While Lil Wayne might have to use that tired “blame it on my environment excuse” to justify his violent and misogynist lyrics, you can’t say the same thing.

GOP Not Happy with Honoring Michael Jackson
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee may have trouble keeping the promise she made at Michael Jackson’s public memorial for a House resolution that “forever” honors the late pop star.
Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, took the stage Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and hoisted a framed copy of the resolution, embossed with a gold seal. The measure will be debated on the House floor, she said.
For that framed, embossed resolution to be completely legit, it must first get past some opposition.
Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican who called Jackson a “pervert, child molester, pedophile” in a video he posted on YouTube this week, vowed Tuesday to do “whatever I have to do” to oppose honoring Jackson.
Click to read.Still Beefing? Get over it Please!
According to MTV News, 50 Cent refused to listen to the Game’s apology that he issued to him, Dr. Dre, Eminem and G-Unit. We got two questions: 1) why is this n*gga apologizing to everybody? He musta done some f*cked up ish to get to piss everybody off, and 2) Why are rappers always beefin? Can’t we all just…..get alongggg???
Faith and Kim Still Fighting Years Later
Apparently, Faith Evans and Lil Kim still got beef over 1990s ish. According to bossip.com, there was some major drama at Diddy’s White Party this week.
“It was really heated,” one source said. “It was about to pop off…there was crazy screaming.” According to sources, Faith was saying, “I love you” to Lil Kim and Kim responded with “God bless you.” However, later at the event, Kim asked Faith, “How would you say you love me when you trashed me in your book?” Under anonymity, a source told AllHipHop.com “We know that [Faith saying 'I love you'] is bulls**t. It wasn’t even about the movie. It hurt Kim that she was being fake.”
Mariah Carey Apologizes for MJ Memorial Performance
“Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying,” Mariah later Tweeted.
“I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me….One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts.”
Black News: Michael Jackson Linked to More Drugs
Michael Jackson's dermatologist said Wednesday that he was not surprised to learn that investigators found numerous bottles of prescription drugs in the singer's home -- adding that he had warned Jackson about their danger repeatedly.
A donation page on the City of Los Angeles' Web site has crashed several times since its launch.
![]()
"I'm very shocked by it, but I have to tell you it's not something that would be unheard of," Dr. Arnold Klein said in an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live."
Klein is the latest in a growing series of Jackson associates who have tied the singer to drugs in recent days.
Two sources close to the Jackson family told CNN on Wednesday that sister Janet was so worried after visiting the emaciated singer in 2007 that she tried to stage an intervention with assistance from her other brothers.
Jackson reportedly ordered his security guards not to let the family members in. He also refused to take calls from his mother, Katherine, CNN has learned.
"If you tried to deal with him, he would shut you out," one source told CNN. "You just wouldn't hear from him for long periods."
At the time, the Jackson family released a statement to People magazine about the alleged intervention, denying it. But Janet Jackson was not among the signatories.
Also Wednesday, a source told CNN that the Los Angeles County coroner's office has drawn up a list of doctors who treated Jackson over the years and will talk to them to determine what kind of drugs they may have been prescribed the singer in the past.
Among them: Klein and Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's cardiologist, who has already been interviewed by Los Angeles police.

Fat Sports Writer Disses Serena Williams
Jason Whitlock, who writes for Fox Sports (well, now that makes sense) said this about Serena Williams: “With a reduction in glut, a little less butt and a smidgen more guts, Serena Williams would easily be as big as Michael Jackson, dwarf Tiger Woods and take a run at Rosa Parks.”
Negro….who you think you is? YBG is tempted to put a bounty on the head of a man who goes out of his way to assault the image of such an accomplished black woman.

Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder and Usher to Perform for Michael Jackson Memorial

Nas Speaks on Drake
Controversy seems to naturally swirl around Nasir Jones.
Al Sharpton and the NAACP have condemned his albums. He's had confrontations with some of hip-hop's greatest, including Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z and Def Jam. And lately his name is smeared across tabloids because his wife, “Milkshake” singer Kelis, is divorcing him.
Through it all, the New York City rapper known as Nas stays strong. He's seen harder times.
He spoke to us about his music, the recession and his coming Wednesday performance with reggae star Damian Marley in the Stir Concert Cove at Harrah's Casino in Council Bluffs.
Q. You've got a lot going on (touring, studio time, family drama, etc.). How do you stay focused?

The President Finally Speaks on Jackson
President Barack Obama had kind words to say about the late Michael Jackson, who died last week at the age of 50.
The King of Pop is getting some love from the Leader of the Free World.
During an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday, President Barack Obama revealed he was a fan of the late Michael Jackson.
He even has his songs on his iPod.
"I grew up on his music," Obama said, speaking personally about the legendary performer's death for the first time. "Still have all his stuff on my iPod."
Obama had kind words for the music legend, who died last week at the age of 50. "I think that his brilliance as a performer also was paired with a tragic and, in many ways, sad personal life," he said. "I'm glad to see that he is being remembered primarily for the great joy that he brought to a lot of people through his extraordinary gifts as an entertainer."

Usher: Divorce & Paternity Test
Internet rumors have it that Usher is not only seeking a divorce from Tameka Foster, but also a paternity test for their last son, Naviyd. Now we all know how the National Enquirer can be, but here's what was stated:A source tells the tabloid, “The first thing Usher said was, ‘How did this happen?’ – because he was gone a lot, and their sex life was very, very limited. “People have been telling him that around the time the little boy was conceived, Tameka got together with another man.” But Foster is adamant the boy is the Yeah! hitmaker’s, and claims the tot was conceived during a rare night of intimacy.
I'm sure this is one of the times that Ush wished he listened to his Mama!!!

Genma Holmes: The Horrible Experience of Watching the BET Awards
by Genma Holmes
Watching movies and barbecuing is how my family spends most Sunday afternoons. This past Sunday, I broke a cardinal rule and watched the BET Awards for the first time. My kids convinced me that it would be great since it was billed as a tribute to Michael Jackson and his humanitarian endeavors. However, the show that was promoted was not the show I watched. The BET Awards was a chaotic three hour black-a-thon fiasco.

Dr Boyce Watkins: Why Wendy Williams Will Dominate TV
The first time I appeared on "The Wendy Williams Experience," I was admittedly a wee bit concerned. I didn't know as much as I should have about Wendy, but I did know that she was ferocious. I was being invited on her show to talk about Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, 50 Cent and Ice Cube. There was a beef between hip hop and the Oprah crowd, and Wendy seemed to feel that I could be a good referee.
I didn't mind standing in the middle of this conversation, because I have respect for both sides of the fence. Hip hop is one of the most powerful creative art forms in the history of the world, but it also possesses tremendous problems, primarily due to the impact of selective commercialization within the context of socially irresponsible corporate models. Oprah, on the other hand, is one of the most amazing and prolific public figures I've ever seen. But she is also not without her issues as it pertains to dealing with black men. I respect all sides, but I am not afraid to critique all sides when necessary.
In my first appearance on Wendy's show, I met her incredibly efficient producer,Nicole Spence. I was sad to see Wendy and Nicole fall out, because I honestly feel that they needed each other. But I digress. Before the show, Nicole told me, point blank: "The interview is going to last for at least 20 minutes. It will only be longer if Wendy likes you."
Okey-dokey then. Either we would hit it off nicely or she would put the hook around my neck like the Apollo Theatre. Wendy is not polite enough to care if she hurts your feelings, so I knew she would only keep talking to me if I could give her good commentary. In front of 11 million listeners, we were going to be feeling each other out. The pressure was on, but I respond well to pressure and confront all challenges head on. In fact, I almost always win.
Interesting: Barack Obama Afraid to Publicly Acknowledge Michael Jackson?
President Barack Obama has written to the family of Michael Jackson rather than making a public statement, his senior adviser said Sunday.
Appearing on the NBC program "Meet the Press," Obama adviser David Axelrod said Obama believes Jackson was "an important and magnificent performer" who made an undeniable impact on music and entertainment.
Asked why Obama had yet to speak publicly about Jackson's sudden death last week at age 50, Axelrod said: "The president has written the family and has shared his feelings with the family."
"He felt that was the appropriate way to go," Axelrod said.

WTF? Why They Hatin on the Doctor?
Media Takeout is reporting that Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, was associated with a clinic for illegal drugs. Also, people are trying to say that he did CPR wrong and that he was a quack. Bullshit. If this man was such a quack, why did he get the job in the first place? Michael was in poor health and if he was asking this man to get him certain types of drugs, he probably felt pressured to do that. People did the same thing to the doctor for Kanye West’s mother. Just because a doctor is black, that don’t mean he is a quack!

BET News: Jay-z a Hater on Chris Brown at the BET Awards?
Reports are that Jay Z told BET that they can’t have Chris Brown on the stage. He threatened to take away himself and Beyonce if they chose Chris. If this is true, that would not only be dirty, but it would be silly, since Chris Brown is the closest thing in the world to Michael Jackson. Sorry folks, but New Edition just don’t do it!
