AEG President Says Movie Should Clear Michael Jackson’s Name

Tim Leiweke president of AEG feels that the new movie, “This Is It” will clear Michael Jackson’s name.

Here’s what he had to say:

”You know, we finished rehearsing at quarter to midnight the night before Michael died, and he was energetic and up and doing his thing, as you’ll see in the movie.”

”You see the music, the studios, the rehearsals, the dancers, the auditions, the costumes,” said Leiweke.

”You see all of the behind the scenes, and the you finally see the last few days of the dress rehearsals, and you begin to see the genius of Michael: the dancing, the singing, the choreography, and his concept of creative a one-time performance that no one would ever forget.”

Leiweke said the movie also will provide proof that AEG had Jackson’s well-being in mind.

”I think we still are hurt,” Leiweke explained. ”Some of the things that people have said about us, which are so untrue, this movie’s going to restore his legacy, and prove that we, in fact, gave Michael a second chance here. And an opportunity to make the kind of comeback here was dreaming of. And that we created an environment for him that was probably the best environment that the guy had the last 10 or 15 years of his life. And I’m very proud of the way we treated Michael, and very proud of the partnership that we had with him. And this movie is an opportunity to celebrate that, and we could get past all of the gossip and all of the innuendo.”

”This is It” is set to open in cinemas worldwide Oct. 28. I am excited to see the film! What about you guys??

Michael Jackson Thinks Madonna is Jealous And Not Sexy

Michael Jackson was convinced Madonna was madly in love with him – but he didn’t return her feelings because she was “not sexy at all.”

The King of Pop befriended the singer in the early 1990s and several dates followed, but Jackson revealed he never had any romantic interest in her during a taped conversation with his close friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Jackson told Boteach, “I think she (Madonna) likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people. I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common. She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes form the heart in the way you present yourself.”

The “Thriller” icon believed Madonna was one of several stars who envied his fame: “They admire you and know you are wonderful and great because they are jealous, because they wish they were in your shoes. Madonna is one of them. She is jealous. She is a girl, a woman and I think that’s what bothers her…I get the fainting and adulation and she doesn’t.”
