I have been trying to stay away from the computer today. Trying to not get sucked up into the whirlwind of news that is just overstimulating me. I haven’t uttered Michael Jackson’s name much today. Because the truth is that I can’t imagine a world without his singing in it. It seems just so quiet without him here. Michael changed the face of music forever. I don’t think there will ever be anyone that compares to him in this world and now the King of Pop is gone.
Lisa Marie Presley was married to Michael for a short time in the 1990’s and took to her MySpace to blog about how she felt about his passing.
Lisa Marie Presley: Michael Jackson Knew…
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.â€
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.
I know every day lately we have been seeing pictures of Robert Pattinson on the set of his movie, Remember Me. But these pictures really seemed to jump out at me. I’m not sure if it’s the way his eyes are sparkling here. I am an eye girl. I love eyes. Just the right color of eyes make me swoon.
Robert looks a bit tired too. I imagine he is, after going into this movie from New Moon and then in August Eclipse starts filming. It’s good to be busy in the movie business though. And Robert is for sure one of the hottest wanted guy right now.
Blake Lively was shining at the grand opening of the Swarovski Crystallized Concept store in New York City on Thursday. She is looking amazing like usual. I love the clothes she wears I can only wish I could look good in half of the things she wears.
I finally caught up with all the Gossip Girl episodes from the season. And especially the one where Serena got arrested. Who knew that her mom could be so sneaky.
It seems like the motion poster is where it’s at these days and Tyler Perry has jumped on the bandwagon with his movie, I Can Do Bad By Myself.
The synopsis is this: When Madea, America’s favorite pistol-packing grandma, catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April. Initially wanting nothing to do with the kids, April learns along the way that she can change her old ways and become a better person. But it takes a lot of work and the help of a handsome Mexican immigrant who moves in with April to push her to change
You can catch this movie in theaters on September 11th, 2009. It looks like this one will be an interesting one!
I got my copy of Elsewhere in the mail yesterday and I just had to watch it right away. I was excited that it had three actors I knew! Anna Kendrick from Twilight, Paul Wesley from the upcoming Vampire Diaries TV Show in the fall and Tania Raymonde from Lost. Right from the beginning the movie grabs your attention.
The synopsis for the movie goes like this: In the small town of Goshen, Indiana, teenage girls are mysteriously disappearing and no one seems to care. After revealing to her best friend Sarah (Kendrick) that she has been meeting men online, Jillian (Raymonde) goes missing. Now the only clues to her whereabouts are her diary and a cryptic video message sent from her cell phone. Aided by Jasper (Chuck Carter), the town’s computer geek, the two plunge head-long into Goshen’s dark secrets – uncovering corrupt police, jilted boyfriends, a mother driven mad by loss, and an unsolved string of child abductions… the final truth they unearth will rock the town to its foundations.
The DVD and Blu-Ray has the following extras that include an audio commentary with director Nathan Hope and producer Vincent Palomino, “The Road to Elsewhere†making-of/interview featurette, deleted scenes and a photo gallery. You can order the DVD here and the Blu-Ray here.
Check out the widget that has the trailer and some exclusive scenes from the movie.
I saw this teaser poster for Daybreakers and I really wondered what it was about. If you think about it what usually disappears when day breaks? Vampires right? That’s exactly what this movie is based on.
