Police are investigating the mysterious deaths of two giraffes from Michael Jackson’s Neverland ranch.

Michael Jackson Giraffe

Two more of the animals may now have to be found new homes as their owners face possible eviction – and allegations of ill-treatment.

Freddie and Tom Hancock acquired the giraffes from the singer as part of plans to build a wildlife preserve on 175 acres of city authority-owned property they leased in 2008.

They also intended to house exotic birds, reptiles and camel.

The couple bought about two dozen animals – also including snakes and parrots – from Jackson when he quit his ranch in California to live in Las Vegas, after being acquitted of child sex charges.

But the Hancocks have since become mired in a legal battle over lease terms with officials in the northern Arizona city of Page.

A judge last week ruled in favour of the city, and officials now say a timeline for eviction is being prepared.

Meanwhile, the animal rights group PETA is calling on authorities in Page to confiscate and relocate the remaining giraffes, fearing they are being mistreated.

The group also asked police to determine whether the Hancocks violated animal cruelty laws in relation to the deaths of the other giraffes.

Page police Chief Charlie Dennis said it is unusual to have two giraffes die within a short period – one died on November 20 and the other on January 2 – but nothing at the scene was cause for suspicion.

“There’s nothing for us to give justification to remove the giraffes at this time,” he added.

Freddie Hancock denied the animals were mistreated, saying they were like her children and would be taken care of whether they remained in Page or moved elsewhere.

Michael Jackson – This Is It Lyrics :

This is it, here I stand
I’m the light of the world, I feel grand
Got this love I can feel
And I know yes for sure it is real

And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times
And you said you really know me too yourself
And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes
But you say you gonna live it for yourself.

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can say,
I’m the light of the world, run away
We can feel, this is real
Every time I’m in love that I feel

And I feel as though I’ve known you since 1,000 years
And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before.
And you said to me you don’t want me hanging round
Many times, wanna do it here before

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can feel
I’m the light of the world, this is real
Feel my song, we can say
And I tell you I feel that way

And I feel as though I’ve known you for a thousand years
And you said you want some of this yourself
And you said won’t you go with me, on a while
And I know that it’s really cool myself

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

Michael Jackson’s song, “This Is It”, was released on the internet at midnight on October 12, 2009 and the official CD will be released on October 28th 2009. This Is It was thought to be recorded in 1983 with co-author, Paul Anka and the Jackson estate has recently confirmed this. Originally, the recording was found in a box of cassette tapes with only Michael Jackson singing and a piano. It is uncertain when all of the music was compiled with the backing vocals and other instruments. His album is also titled “This Is It” and contains 2 disc’s with eighteen oldies and the one everyone is waiting on, This Is It. Please watch the video below and let us know what you think about it before it’s released!

Michael Jackson’s song, This Is it is definitely going to be popular among fans, but it is really hard to say if it will be a classic or even a hit like many of his other songs. We believe “This Is It” would not have been as successful if Michael had released this song while he was alive. It really lacked that groovy feeling that Michael had produced many times before. Many of the mourning fan’s will embrace this song due to his untimely death. The song has a nice, slow rhythm and seems to be a little blue. But nevertheless, it’s a Jackson song and it will sell many records. This is basically a sad song, reminding the loyal Jackson fans of what a great artist and powerful songwriter that Michael really was. What are your opinions on the song and lyrics?

A comedy skit in Australia on it’s popular TV show called ‘Hey Hey its Saturday’ is under scrutiny after being accused of racism. These allegations come after the actors called “The Jackson Jive” painted their faces black and wore black afro wigs. There was one actor that was white with a black wig and dubbed himself as Michael Jackson.
One of the people the most surprised was a guest judge on the show, Harry Connick jr. whom called for an apology after the show implied racism by allowing the skit to take place. Harry Connick awarded the 5 Australians performing the skit a zero. Connick also stated that “If I knew that was going to be part of the show I definitely wouldn’t have done it,”

The front man of the skit is an Australian based plastic surgeon, Anand Deva, but is from India. Five of the Six people performing the skit comes from multicultural backgrounds and that none of them meant any harm in the skit. Anand Deva commented on the situation and said “I am an Indian, and five of the six of us are from multicultural backgrounds and to be called a racist … I don’t think I have ever been called that ever in my life before,”
The talk about this then headed to twitter with some people asking “if white people painting their faces black was considered racism” while others called this “embarrassing and distasteful”. After an online poll at one of Australia’s largest newspapers, 62 percent of the people that responded stated that the skit was tasteless and racist.
Some people seem to have different views and opinions on what is and isn’t considered racism. We can understand that a guy from India would be fine with joking about Michael Jackson since he comes from a different country all together. But for us in the United States, we seem to think different.
In the U.S. we always have comedy skits on popular TV actors, actress’ and pop music stars but things have never gone quite this far. We do make fun of peoples race, but in a way that it doesn’t upset too many people. But doing a skit about someone that has recently died is going a little too far. Not to mention, Michael has a fan base that covers the entire world.
What are your views on this situation? Do you think it is racism?

On October 28th, at 4am, Odeon Bristol will open the doors to allow Michael Jackson fans to see Michael Jackson’s “This Is It”. “This Is It” is a rare film that gives fans a behind-the-scene look at how Michael Jackson rehearsed for his concerts and how he developed and created his concerts. All of this was filmed prior to his concert that was supposed to be held this past summer at the London’s O2 Arena.

Since the box office opened to show the film, more than 35,000 tickets have been sold for this film. The ticket sales for “This Is It” have toppled the sales of the one time record holder Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. “This Is It” has sold more than 5.5 times more than the Harry Potter film.
This film has been on show at all major cities all around the world. Originally it was only going to run at London’s O2 Arena for 10 days but with all of the ticket sales they have recieved, they have decided to push the end date to January 7, 2010 for a grand total of 50 shows. After all 50 concerts have taken place, at least one million fans will have witnessed one of the largest and best musical performances in history. Even the large website ticketmaster was hit so hard by heavy website traffic, the website had “technical problems”.
Kenny Ortega was the director of “This Is It” and was also Michael Jackson’s creative partner. He is also one of the three producers of the film, including Paul Gongaware and Randy Phillips. Alan Escott which is the manager at Odeon Bristol said: “The team at Odeon Bristol are thrilled to be able to give local film and music fans the chance to witness a very unique cinema experience.”

Not only is this a rare, behind-the-scene look at the best pop star of all time, it is a gift from Michael Jackson to all of his loyal and loving fans from around the world. As ticket sales show, this will probably be one of the most popular pop star films of all time today and for years to come. It is really sad that Michael couldn’t be alive to see the fan response of this film. When it was showing, while he was alive, he stated that he was “thrilled” that the film is doing so well.
Since the passing of Michael Jackson, do you think that his new film, “This Is It” would be just as popular if Michael was still alive or do you think that it would have made less money? Give us your opinion.

Finally Michael Jackson has been laid to rest. His funeral located at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial park was a really calm and peaceful event unlike his other memorials where chaos filled the area by loyal and loving fans and the media. He was buried in a crypt in an area called Holly Terrace.

Along with the funeral, there was a 26 vehicle motorcade that arrived at 8:30 am. At least 3 dozen, sign carrying fans, cheered as the 26 vehicles passed by the area leading to the memorial park while the background noise was filled with music by Michael Jackson.

The sad part of this, other than the pop stars untimely death, was the people that were close to Jackson and worked with him on a day to day basis, were not really known by the family and had to remain outside of the memorial gates and was not allowed to go in. One of those was one of Michael’s close friend, Wan Ali, who was at one time, Michael’s fashion designer. He worked for 3 days to create a suit just for this occasion, but had to stand on the streets to pay his respect to his friend.

Police were enforcing strict security in the area, as always. They warned the public, fans and media to stay far away from the cemetery fence. While the funeral was in session, 3 fans were arrested for trying to climb over a building to get into the cemetery grounds. The police caught the three suspects and the rest of the funeral went peacefully. Police also had to remove one fan with a camera that was inside and they had to remove a radio reporter that was inside and later moved outside to interview fans along the fence of the cemetary.

The family of Michael Jackson closed the funeral from allowing media to enter at the last minute. The family decided to use a private photographer and videographer to capture footage from inside the cemetery. There were over 400 media passes handed out to different media outlets.

Many people have often questioned Michael’s relegious belief. The funeral service was Christian and not Muslim as some people may have believed. He was buried wearing his white glove, gold belt, pearl beads and his trademark sunglasses.
After the funeral, processions were moved to the Staples Center for a public memorial at about 10 am that morning.
One of the most saddening parts of the funeral was that the ushers all wore one white glove while the funeral was taking place outside on the cemetery grounds.

Autopsy reports have been released for Michal Jackson by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. At the time of Michael Jackson’s death, he was deemed healthy for a fifty year old man. He weight about 136 pounds which was an acceptable weight for a 5 foot 9 inch man. There was no plaque build up in his arteries and his heart seemed to have been strong at the time of his death. All of the other major internal organs of his body were also healthy.

However, Michael Jackson still had health problems including arthritis in his fingers and lower back and some plaque build up in his lower extremity arteries. The most serious condition that Michael had at the time of death was his lungs. We have all heard that he would sleep in an oxygen bed at night and this would have lead us to believe such problems. In the report, it was stated that his lungs were chronically inflamed and would have caused Michael to have shortness of breath. The lung condition would not have been serious enough to have caused his death.

Doctor Zeev Kain, who works with the University of California of Irvine reviewed the copy of the autopsy report and stated that “the results are within normal limits.” Kain did not take part in the autopsy, but obtained and reported on strictly reading the report. The coroner’s office stated that the cause of death was due to homicide that was caused by “acute propofol intoxication” which means he had more than the suggested dose of propofol in his system.

Michael was not only taking the drug propofol, but he was also taking more drugs that included Demerol, a drug that works the same way Morphine does and two other painkillers, Vicodin and Dilaudid. All of these drugs is often a deadly combination. He was also on other medication for depression and a sedative. Michael often had heartburn and would take Prilosec to ease the disease but would not have caused anything substantial, including death.

The autopsy report also noted that there was bruising to the chest and cracked ribs. This was most likely due to the CPR that was given by Paramedics on the scene in hopes to revive Jackson.
What do you think caused Michael Jackson to die. Was it from natural causes or was it from an outside source?
