Michael Jackson Dead: Remembering Michael Jackson Girlfriend


Michael Jackson’s death sent all of us who adore him scrambling for words and going down the memory on Michael Jackson girlfriend. During the 50 years of his life, we only know 3 of them. The first was Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s daughter. They married in 1993 but they never had a child. Media was castigating Michael Jackson’s timing because this was the time when he was accused of child molestation and was put into trial.

Michael Jackson’s second girlfriend is the mother of 2 of his 3 children. She’s a dermatologist who’s treating Michael Jackson’s skin problem. Her name is Deborah Jeanne Rowe. They spent a lot of time with each other because of the treatment. They were married and had 2 children, Michael Jackson Jr and Katherine Jackson. They divorced in 1999.

The last girlfriend of Michael Jackson to be reported is an unnamed woman who became the surrogate mother of Michael Jakcon’s 3rd kid Prince Michal Jackson. MJ was mum about the identity of the mother but he showed his son to the public from the balcony of a hotel.

Michael Jackson dead – this made a lot of us remember his life and his legacy to us. His personal life is controversial but all of the incidences passed. What will remain are his wonderful music videos and songs that changed the terrain of video productions and musical performances. So long, MJ. Even if there’s no Michael Jackson’s girlfriend beside him when he died, the world will be forever grateful for his unsurpassable talent he generously shared. Thank you, Michael Jackson.

Parking for MJ Memorial


Supply + demand + Michael Jackson = parking madness!!!

Tickets for the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday are tough to come by -- but parking may be even tougher. We talked to a couple of valets at the Holiday Inn across the street from Staples Center. They told us that guests will have first dibs on parking, but after that it will cost $200 for a spot -- and maybe even higher. Parking for non-guests can usually run up to $45/day.

Now get this -- a few residents of local apartments tell us they are going to try and sell their garage spots for the day and just leave their car at work for the day.

The lesson as always -- public transportation.

FOX to Re-Air Michael Jackson-Featuring 'The Simpsons'


To preserve Michael Jackson's legacy, FOX is planning to air "The Simpsons" episode where the King of Pop contributed a voice. On Sunday, July 5 at 8/7c, the network will re-run "Stark Raving Dad", the first episode of season 3 that originally aired in September 1991.

Michael voiced the character of Leon Kompowsky, an overweight brick-layer whom Homer met during his stint at Mental Institution. Leon made Homer believe that he was Michael Jackson. Not recognizing the famous name, Homer brought Leon home to Springfield where many had anticipated the arrival of the star.

Michael was not credited when the episode was first aired because due to contractual reasons, he has to use the pseudonym of John Jay Smith. There is a time where Leon sings, but the singing voice was provided by impressionist Kipp Lennon.

However, Michael's contribution is beyond just making a guest voice on the show. He also composed the song "Do the Bartman" which was performed by Bart's voice Nancy Cartwright. The song appeared on The Simpsons' 1990 album "The Simpsons Sing the Blues" but again, Michael was not credited because he was under contract with another label.

"It was always amazing to me that no one ever found out that Michael Jackson wrote that song," creator Matt Groening said in 1998. "He was a big fan of the show."
