The Jacksons never looked happier then they did in this vintage photo that The WOW Report dug up from somewhere. (It’s Randy, La Toya, and Michael, au natural) After Michael Jackson had most of his plastic surgery and skin lightened, he tried to buy and destroy all the photos he could find of himself before the makeover. Because he was such a public figure it proved to be an impossible task, but he TRIED.

Someone who worked with him for a while confirmed a few years ago that Jackson’s ruined nose was, in fact, prosthetic, and that he was regretful of all the surgeries. Completely understandable, given the final result.
Unfortunately, the well of his self-hatred was bottomless. It must have been very, very hard for him to live with himself. And ultimately he couldn’t. 🙁
Speaking of La Toya—it was interesting to see that after a lot of speculation that she held the deed to the family home, it turns out to have been in one of MJ’s lawyer’s names.
What a (completely expected) surprise!
(And, no, the lawyer wasn’t Howard K. Stern, by the way, but it could have been. Considering that Stern was just ajudged to hold legal title to the home Anna Nicole Smith paid for—presumably leaving Anna’s daughter on the streets, essentially.)
And why shouldn’t unemployed/unemployable lawyer Stern build a little property portfolio for himself?
Remember, he was acquitted of causing Anna’s overdose death. And charges were never brought in the untimely death of her young son/heir—which preceded hers.
A question, if anyone knows: Was Howard also Brittany Murphy’s lawyer?
Michael Jackson was a tragic figure in the end. I’m just amazed he didn’t die sooner. Doesn’t take away from the music and how brilliant some of it was.
and MJ failed to realize that he was so very attractive pre-surgeries!
Another piece of conclusive evidence that MJ’s white, anglo-featured kids are NOT his bio children…
(Just in case anyone is *still* on the fence with that tiresome & preposterous issue).
Okay, I’ll get off the fence. Convinced.
Wow!! Latoya is unrecognizable and Michael actually looks(for lack of a better word)….human.
It is very sad that someone HAD, what the majority of the rest of world wants, and could not find happiness in it. It is amazing how powerful the mind can be and how self esteem issues can overtake a persons life.
Michael and Randy both are handsome kids in that photo. I would not have known that was Latoya (thought it was Rebbie. She was pretty and looked normal in that photo.
This should go on a billboard at each end of Gary Indiana.
The so called genius of Michael was a serial child molestor who bought off parents. He should have been hanged by his small and horny black balls under those billboards.
Alternatively, Strom—you and anyone else with an open mind might want to read “Was Michael Jackson Framed?” by Mary A. Fisher, published by “GQ” magazine in 1994 (available online).
It remains, perhaps, the ONLY in-depth investigation into the allegations against Jackson.
The revelations about Evan Chandler, to mention just one part of it, are shocking and very disturbing.
You remember that Chandler was the father of Jordan, the kid at the heart of the first case. He shot himself to death about six months after Jackson died, after several violent episodes with his son “over money.”
And don’t get me started about what Fisher uncovered regarding Chandler’s lawyer.
Read it for yourself.
Chicago, I’m also aware of Chandler’s dubious integrity. Whatever else Michael may have been, I don’t believe he was a pedophile. You have to wade through a lot of Michael’s weirdness and baggage, and weigh it carefully to reach that conclusion I’ll grant you, but it’s what I honestly believe. As for the mother and son at the center of the second set of allegations, she was so clearly a charlatan with a documented history, the case speaks for itself.
Rick, I’m inclined to agree with you regarding Jackson.
The best research into the subject correlates that a victim of child sexual abuse will also go on to become an abuser.
I’m not aware of a history of abuse in Jackson’s background.
And as the Fisher piece argues convincingly, their was no evidence to support the allegation that Jackson was a pedophile.
But undoubtedly, he seems to have had an arrested emotional development—which drew him to other “children,” which he, it seems, considered himself to be all of his life.
The Michael Jackson molestation circus was HUGE in terms of the public interest (and ratings) it garnered, and made the careers of people like Diane Dimond, to name one—people who would not have been interested in letting the facts get in the way of a good story.
As an aside about the topic above. Just a few years ago “Off The Wall” was reissued—it was one of Jackson’s biggest hits, and the reissue commemorated the 25th (!!) anniversary.
As you may know, Jackson insisted that the reissued cover only show him from the knees down—erasing completely that all-too familiar image of his handsome then-obviously-black face from view. Man, talk about denial. Sad.
He was an extremely talented man who had troubles in equal measure.
TYPO “there” sorry.
Michael Jackson was cute before he did all that plastic surgery!
i can see why these people all got PS
their natural noses are horrific
sometimes its better to change nature…. specially la toya…
this is the proof!!
HE ONCE WAS A HAPPY AMERICAN!!
MJ despised his father — and if he had not gone under the knife, would’ve been the spitting image of his dad. Of course, there was no way he would let that happen. A talented, but sad, life.
Perhaps they did have somewhat large noses, normal for a lot of blacks, but what they had done to they is horrific. Looking at La Toya on The Apprentice is hard to do. Her nose is scary and monster looking, nearly as horribly as Michael’s final version. maybe she has body dismorphic disorder as well. Tho, she seems like a nice person.
I think the worst looking thing about this pic it the afros. Esp Michaels, but that was the times too.
Building a play ranch as a way to attract kids is a classic pedophilia move. He made himself a magnet for kids and how on earth can you NOT question a man who openly admited to sleeping with boys? The “pure love” he talked about is also a classic pedophile excuse to justify the abuse by redefining his actions as love and how it was mutual…the kids loved him and he couldn’t keep them out of his bed. I don’t know why it’s so hard to believe MJ was a pedophile just because he created some music and danced.
I have never seen a more dysfunctional family, the level of self hatred is off the charts. Michael was a very good looking man before he mutilated himself. Almost all of them got nosejobs. You will never convince me he didn’t molest young boys or that he ever had sex with a woman. Of course those kids weren’t his and they are better off now, they had disturbingly weird lives before, always hiding under scarves in public.
Some very deranged people are totally fixated with Howard Stern, Esq. and his personal affairs. Stern is administrator/ Estate Executor and his duty is to pay the bills. He DOES NOT own Anna Nicole’s house. He simply pays the bills for the Estate. Larry Birkhead has no job and his own income since he obtained custody in 2007. Stern was not Brittany Murphy’s lawyer.
^^^ Hi, Howard K. Stern’s Mom; in response to your disinformation (polite word for bald-faced lie):
“[Howard K. Stern, the one-time love (sic) of Anna Nicole Smith and the acting executor of her estate, was granted the right to transfer the title of a home purchased by the late actress – a home currently occupied by her surviving child, Dannielynn, and her natural father, Larry Birkhead, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to court documents obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, Smith – aka Vickie Lynn Marshall – purchased the home in April 2005 using the name Vickie Lynn Marshall but within one day of buying the home, transferred the deed to one of her companies, Hot Smoochie Lips, Inc.
Stern had requested to transfer the title of the home from Hot Smoochie Lips, Inc. to himself, as the executor of her estate. The judge granted his request Tuesday.
In the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior court, Stern stated: “Petitioner believes that the Decedent’s intent in transferring title to the Corporation was to protect her privacy, and that she inadvertently used the Corporation as the entity to do so rather than establishing a new entity for the purpose of owning the Home.”
Stern also stated that “Anna Nicole and her daughter. Danielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead, resided in the Home. For continuity, following Anna Nicole’s death, Danielynn, a minor who is also the sole beneficiary of the Estate, and Larry E. Birkhead, Danneilynn’s natural father, have resided in the Home and continue to do so. The Home therefore has not generated income for the Estate”
Stern claims that since Smith’s death, “the Estate has made all mortgage, utility and hazard insurance payments on the Home.”
It is unclear if Stern immediately intends to sell the home, and if so, where Dannielynn or Birkhead will go.
An attorney for Stern tells RadarOnline.com that no determination has been made on what is to be done with the property.]”
Good looking family. Back then.
Why they mangled their faces is beyond me. They were attractive – trying to get white features ruined their looks.
The ESTATE pays the bills.
“Title” is defined as “right or claim of OWNERSHIP to property.”
Are you intimating that Stern will be seeking custody of Dannielyn (sole beneficiary to the ANS Estate), as his next move?
Didn’t he already try that when he claimed—untruthfully—to be her father?
But you’re quite right. Some people seem to have shown an inordinate interest in the actions and personal affairs of Howard K. Stern…
those people being homicide detectives, prosecutors, grand juries, etc.
reta, you can’t write worth a cuss.
It’s interesting to read the court documents regarding Anna Nicole Smith’s house.
Was the entity (Hot Smoochie Lips, Inc.) that was originally named as owner of the property somehow defective in its Articles of Incorporation, organization, etc.?
Otherwise, WHY exactly was a change (in ownership) even necessary? Remember, Anna’s corporate entity has owned the home since way back in 2005.
Maybe the lawyer who set up the corporation can answer these questions.
Let’s see…oh! How about that? The lawyer in question turns out to be one Howard K. Stern.
What a small, convenient world, no?
And NATURAL FATHER Larry Birkhead’s fulltime job is caring for and ensuring the well-being of his young daughter—a young daughter who has had health issues dating from her birth.
And, when you consider the RATE OF MORTALITY among her immediate family—her mother, Anna Nicole died suddenly; her step-brother Daniel, who also died suddenly (mere weeks before his mother under questionable circumstances while visting Anna in the hospital in the Bahamas where she had just given birth to Dannielyn)—well, it’s understandable that people in Dannielyn’s life who love her would be concerned for her future.
And should anything unfortunate befall Larry Birkhead (one wonders how he ever got out of The Bahamas ALIVE—under the circumstances), would anyone be surprised if custody of Dannielyn would then be awarded to the late Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and “good friend?”
Finally, Have you noticed? It always adds “complications” to a given thing—and circumstances unforeseen—when a FOREIGN COUNTRY is thrown into the mix.
Different laws, standards, customs, etc., from those of the United States, mean that situations (and crimes great and small) can often be effected quite successfully by people who have taken the time to do a little research beforehand.
Remember Sante Kimes and her son, Kenneth?
The mother and son duo who shared homicide as a sort of hobby?
(The excellent book “Son of a Grifter” was written about them; Sante was portrayed in two separate movies by both Mary Tyler Moore and Judy Davis.)
Well, Sante—whose specialty was securing ownership to property theretofore owned by people who met untimely deaths—also came to love the West Indies.
And why not? The islands are convenient, lying just outside the US, and provide all sorts of criminal opportunities (and the cover-up of same) for those so inclined.
*One correction: The late Daniel would be considered Dannielyn’s half-brother.
Oh, and while lawyer Howard K. Stern’s mom was on the line earlier in the thread, we were hoping that she might also dispel or confirm the suggestion that the “K” stands for Kevorkian.
That is Rebbie, not LaToya. An above commenter had it right.
Nope, jess—that’s LaToya. One way to confirm: Look at Randy in that pic—he’s many years younger than Rebbie, much closer in age to La Toya.
Larry Birkhead has no discernible talent or brains, and generates no income. Smells fishy. And the lack of prosecuting Stern, possible serial psychopathic killer, is too strange.
@Bluejay: Tell me about it.
And the strangest thing is, that whomever “belicosso” (some variation of the word bellicose, meaning angry?) may be, took the time to respond with a ridiculous LIE—and not just any lie, one that is EXACTLY OPPOSITE from the truth.
“He [Howard K. Stern] DOES NOT own Anna Nicole’s house,” writes belicosso, and yet, as the court documents PROVE, that is PRECISELY what this recent ruling accomplishes: it transfers LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S HOUSE TO HOWARD K. STERN.
The question is, why would someone purport such an easily disproved lie?
Well, if belicosso is Howard K. Smith’s mom, that might explain it; or a PR flack working for him—after all, they’re PAID to lie; or,
might belicosso be Howard K. Stern himself?—that seems the most likely answer.
Given all the attention generated by Anna’s death and the “investigation” which followed, Howard K. Stern has an understandable interest in flying under the radar these days.
But you cannot deny that he has been keeping busy, busy, busy—judging by this court ruling.
As many have said before, in cases of untimely, unlikely, inexplicable death(s), ask first: “Cui Buono?”
Literally, WHO BENEFITS?
Should be: “Howard K. Stern’s mom…” Apologies.
Three events—which came in rapid-fire succession, even before Anna Nicole died—are more than enough to raise serious questions about this case.
They are:
Howard K. Stern’s “marriage” to Anna Nicole in The Bahamas, which subsequently was proved to be (contrary to Stern’s media posturing), NOT a legal marriage—and maybe not even a ceremonial one.
The horrifying death of Daniel in Anna’s hospital room in The Bahamas following his sudden collapse—and after which Anna was heard to shriek, “You did this!!”—apparently at Howard K. Stern.
The media circus which ensued when Howard K. Stern asserted paternity of baby Dannielyn—an assertion that he surely knew was UNTRUE at the time, and which others close to Anna had rightfully rejected out of hand.
Maybe the smartest move Anna Nicole ever made was to refuse to marry Stern—no matter how hard he may have worked to convince her to do so.
And, obviously, after the death of Daniel, any contemplation of marriage to Stern would have been absolutely out of the question.
But within a matter of weeks, Anna Nicole was dead, too.
Resourceful to the last, Stern played one last gambit with the custody circus—a situation which was resolved, by the way, in not only the establishment of Birkhead as the natural father, but an agreement going forward about the role Howard K. Stern would have in matters relating to Dannielyn and her late mother’s estate.
Due to legal difficulties, Stern has been unavailable to attend to his interests in the Smith Estate fully, until just recently, resulting in the judge handing him the keys and the DEED to Anna’s house.
There’s a story here. And it’s as obvious as the proverbial elephant in the room.
Who knows, as a writer and Hollywood insider, maybe it’s something JC might pursue.
Typing too fast, but to clarify: The first two events occurred before Anna died; the third—concerning paternity of Dannielyn—ensued AFTER her death. Again, apologies.
By the way, the report refers to Howard K. Stern as the “acting” Executor/Administrator of her estate. (WTF?)
If that term is being used in the standard sense, then it means that Stern was named Executor by a judge, and not so designated in her will.
Unfuckingbelievable.
Just what were Anna’s feeling toward Stern when she died?
Apparently, she was barely conscious, given the continual drugged stupor she was in; it would have been very easy for someone to take advantage of her reduced mental capacity.
“MONA GARRETT”
you are very sick woman, mentally and physically. you need LITHIM asap! you and other VIRGIE ARTUR’s paid bloggers (yvonne waddle, wilma vice) will pay for your lies!
stern is estate executor under vickie marshall’s will. the will was made in 2000.
Mona, take Haldol or Lithium. You’re insane. Your spelling will be much better as well.
*PRECISELY
Thanks, thefact: Not sure why Stern is being referred to in media reports as “acting” executor.
Mrs. Marple: Always interesting to note how the truth—or even just the pursuit of same—incites some to froth at the mouth.
Calm down, dear. You’ll live longer (not saying that would be an advantage to the rest of us).
Mona,
Larry Birkhead is homosexaul paparazzo who broke the paternity contarct with a herpes infested hooker Vickie.
And as regards the med referrals—are you writing prescriptions online?
No thanks.
WIDE AWAKE here—and intend to remain so.
Amazing, huh?
Doesn’t take much cage rattling to bring out the slurs against Birkhead—who I don’t know, and don’t need/care to know.
What I DO know (and you do, too), is that for whatever reasons, BODIES have shown a tendency to accumulate around lawyer Howard K. Stern.
Why dont we stick to the sicko Jacksons and save anna Nichole for her own news.
I think it is actually time for a BLACK Morgan Freeman marrying his step granddaughter update.
So Howard K. Stern’s “job” is that he is Administrator for Anna’s estate, right? Cause he’s paid for this.
And now he’s Larry and Dannielyn’s LANDLORD, too?
Impressive.
And you gotta wonder about the mega-level of bottom-feeding that allows someone to have “ATTORNEY for Howard K. Stern” attached to their name.
Certain people just seem to have a knack for this kind of thing (money-grubbing, being a parasite) IN THEIR DNA. 🙂
Kathy Griffin used to have a bit about Anna in her act. She said watching Anna’s awful reality show was a guilty pleasure.
But boy did Kathy have Howard’s number even way back then. She referred to him as, “That guy who’s trying to take all [Anna’s] money.”
Guess we know how THAT turned out.
Why, Howard’s exploits practically make him qualified to be a Hollywood talent agent.
Or head of the federal reserve bank, or new mayor of Chicago (or permanent resident of a federal prison, like that Made-off guy—but let’s not be catty 😉 ).
But Dannielyn shouldn’t get too comfortable in the only home she’s ever known—the one her dead mother bought—because the new owner is still deciding what he wants to do with it.
Indications are that he’s going to sell it, in order to “generate income for the estate.”
Completely understandable, right?
See, as the “profit” from the estate goes up, so does the percentage that the administrator draws as salary. And yes, “Hollywood Book-Keeping” rules are applicable here.
So now we’re wondering: Just HOW MUCH CASH can someone squeeze from a corpse?
Stay tuned, folks!
