Heidi Montag has invested a lot into her album ?Superficial?. Not only did the attention whore produce it independently but the wannabe singer also spent $2 million on in and believes that it holds up to Michael Jackson?s ?Thriller?. She wishes! She said ?I?ve spent as much time?maybe more, even?than Thriller. Every detail was very important to me, because I take this very seriously. Most artists, it?s not their own money, but I?ve actually gone broke putting every dollar I?ve ever made and my heart and soul into this music. For me, I have a different appreciation, a different understanding, and a different love of my music and for my album than any other artist possibly could. Because this is my money. This is my gamble. This is my chance.?
Michael Jackson’s love interest in the Thriller video, Ola Ray, is a creditor of his estate, court records show.
Ray, an actress, alleged in April that the late King of Pop failed to pay her royalties on the video for the past four years.
Ray’s attorney filed paperwork in Los Angeles last week stating she is a creditor to the singer’s estate and is owed an undetermined amount of money.
That suit, and two others filed by Thriller director John Landis, is yet to be settled. One of Landis’s lawsuits claimed he was not paid royalties on the Thriller video for several years.
A second autopsy is currently being carried out on Michael Jackson’s body.
According to reports in the US, the family of the late pop star was a second opinion on what killed the singer.
So a second autopsy was being carried out on Saturday afternoon.
US website TMZ reported: “A source close to the family of Michael Jackson tells TMZ the family has requested a second autopsy — and it is currently underway somewhere in Los Angeles.
“The Los Angeles County Coroner conducted an autopsy on Friday and while he said there was ‘no indication of foul play’ the official cause of death could not be determined.
As the autopsy was being performed, the Jackson family gathered in Encino to discuss funeral arrangements for Jacko.
Brother Tito Jackson revealed that the family is spending quality time together today and discussing plans about Jacko’s funeral.
He also revealed that the family were discussing the option of have a private service just for the family but then have a public memorial for Jacko’s celebrity pals and fans.
A desperate man told an emergency responder Michael Jackson was unconscious and had stopped breathing in a dramatic 911 call made from the King of Pop?s home.
The unidentified caller told the operator Jackson?s personal doctor ? named in reports as Dr Conrad Murray ? was on the scene and was the only witness to the incident.
In the tape, released a day after Jackson?s death, the man says: ?I need an ambulance as soon as possible. We have a gentleman here who needs help and who is not breathing and we’re trying to pump him but he’s not?
In the call, made at 12.21pm local time on Wednesday, he tells the operator: ?Yes, he?s not breathing sir.?
Asked if Jackson was conscious, he replies: ?No, he?s not conscious.?
He says Jackson is on a bed and is told to put him on the floor for CPR.
The man says: ?We have a personal doctor here with him.?
But he adds: ?He’s not responding to anything. He’s not responding to CPR or anything.?
The operator asks if anyone saw what happened to Jackson and the man replies: ?No, just the doctor. The doctor’s been the only one here.?
The operator asks: ?OK, so did the doctor see what happened??
The man is then heard asking the doctor: ?Did you see what happened??
There is some background noise before the man urges the operator: ?Sir, please, if you can please?.?
He tells the operator: ?He’s pumping, pumping his chest but he’s not responding to anything.?
The operator reassures him: ?OK, we’re on our way.?
