Jackson's Guard Tells of Drugs, Girlfriend

Michael Jackson's British bodyguard is coming out and talking about his experiences with the late King of Pop, including claims that Jackson had a secret girlfriend and that drugs were often hidden from Jackson.

The claims come from Matt Fiddes, a personal friend of Jackson who also served as his bodyguard during Michael's U.K. stints. During his Sky News interview, Fiddes blames Jackson's death on the doctors in his life, saying "they have Michael's blood on their hands" for allegedly giving him prescription drugs. "They know what they've done and there's people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn't for financial reasons." Fiddes, 29, says that he and Jackson's friend Uri Geller tried many times to intervene, but "as soon as we said anything and it gets back to Michael, Michael would have a screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life, that he knew what he was doing and he was in denial." He claims that he and Uri "confiscated injection equipment" from Jackson.

Still, Fiddes says he "never witnessed him actually taking drugs, but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri did too."

Among the other claims made by Fiddes is one about Jackson's alleged secret girlfriend. "I'm not going to name who she is but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with," he said.

Jackson's Ex-Wife Debbie Rowe Says 'I Want My Children'

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe broke her silence Thursday and declared she wants custody of the two children she had with the late King of Pop.

"I want my children," Rowe said during a 90-minute phone interview with NBC-LA early Thursday.

A judge later that day delayed a guardianship hearing for Michael Jackson's children at the request of attorneys for Rowe and the singer's mother.

The hearing, originally scheduled for Monday., was rescheduled for July 13.

Katherine Jackson will retain temporary guardianship of the children until then.

Rowe also said she'll seek a restraining order to keep their grandfather, Joe Jackson, away from the children. Michael Jackson had a strained relationship with his father, who he said struck him as a child.

Jackson's will, which was filed Wednesday, put his entire estate in a family trust, and named his mother Katherine as the guardian of his children. Rowe was specifically excluded as a beneficiary in the document, which read: "I have intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife, DEBORAH JEAN ROWE JACKSON." 

Sounds like Debbie Rowe found out that she was left GOOSE EGG in the will and has put realized that if she can get her hands on the kids she can by extension get her grubby hands on some of Michael Jackson's estate.

David Carradine Cause of Death Asphyxiation, Says Medical Examiner

Kung Fu actor David Carradine's June death was the result of asphyxiation, not suicide, a medical examiner hired by his family confirmed Thursday.

Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden was hired by the Carradine family to complete an independent autopsy after the actor, 72, was found dead June 4 in a Bangkok, Thailand, hotel room. Police reported that the actor's body was found nude, with ropes around his neck, wrist and genitals, fueling speculation that he was killed while engaging in a dangerous sex practice called auto-erotic asphyxiation. Those initial reports were confirmed by Baden.

Now what I find rather interesting here is how the media has chosen to handle Carradine's death as opposed to Michael Jackson's.  Talk about some kind of FREAKY here and yet it's all swept under the rug.  But let Michael Jackson die and everyone and there mother is coming out of the woodwork to speak negatively about him.  Carradine's ex-wife claimed that not ony did she suffer abuse at his hands but that he loved these sexual fetishes.  Now that should be enough to give the late night comedians enough to run with but NOTHING.

And let me not get on to the double standard applied to Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama and the media's approach to their children.
