Michael Jackson's Kids May Be Forced To Testify

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 7th 2010 02:49AM

Although Dr. Conrad Murray, who faces a manslaughter charge in Michael Jackson's death, will stand by his argument that Jackson himself administered the fatal dose of Propofol, sources close to Jackson's family tell me his three children are preparing to testify against him. More details about the case, plus find out who is texting Tiger Woods every day ... after the jump!

Will Michael Jackson's Kids Be Forced to Testify?

Sources close to Michael Jackson's family are telling me that at least one of his three children -- Paris, Prince or Blanket -- is getting prepared to testify in the case against there father's doctor, Conrad Murray.

"The Jackson family wants to do what's best for Michael's children and understand how traumatic it would be for them to take the stand. However, they honestly believe that Dr. Murray is to be blamed for the Michael's death, and they believe that what the children saw the day he died will prove it," an insider tells me.

The innocence or guilt of Dr. Murray isn't the only thing at stake though. A music insider explains, "Michael's legacy is on the line and millions and millions of dollars. If the choice is between that and upsetting the children, I know which one is going to win."

I fear we do too!

Tiger Woods Receiving Buddhist Prayers Via Blackberry

To make sure Tiger Woods never again strays away from his moral compass, the golfer has started reading Buddhist prayers each day on his Blackberry, an insider tells me.

"He is totally committed to making himself a better man, and if reading prayers on his blackberry every day helps, then good for him," a friend of the golfer tells me.

Tiger, who is a Buddhist, is taking his faith a step further and has ordered a private peaceful room at The Masters, where he can meditate every day. "He is making ever effort to make sure temptation does not make him stray again. The meditation room and Blackberry prayers are just the tip of the iceberg," an insider told me.

Hey, it's certainly an improvement over what Tiger has used that Blackberry for in the past.

Which Celebrity Needs a New Bra?

My friend, New York Times best selling author Charla Krupp, has a brilliant new book called 'How To Never Look Fat Again,' detailing over 1,000 ways to dress thinner -- without dieting. Charla is even dishing her own advice for some of our favorite stars:

Who is most in need of a new bra? "Drew Barrymoore. At my NYC bra shop, they put that famous picture of her sagging boobs in the green dress in their window. Hope she has learned her lesson by now."

Who has the droopiest drawers? "Kate Goselin. She rarely gets it right, whether it's jeans that are too faded, too short or too high or a hem that's too long ... She should stop trying to compete with the Hollywood crowd. She's not a starlet or an actress or a singer, although she's trying to play a dancer on TV."

Who always looks great even without being a size 2? "Katherine Heigl. When she's on the red carpet, Katherine pulls off the glamour puss a la Marilyn Monroe, who would have been considered plus-size today."

Do you have to know basic spelling in order to report: "testify in the case against THERE father's doctor ..." ??? Or doesn't anyone proof read anymore?

lol... I was thinking the exact same thing! Here's another error:"Dr. Murray is to be blamed for THE Michael's death" The shouldn't even be there. Proofreading is a must. Well, at least for me it is.

By n506

Seems that nobody can spell or use proper grammar these days...I've noticed a lot of this lately!
Give me this proofreader's job!

I think it is sad to involve young children in court. More than likey Michael Jackson hide his activities from them. Why tramatize the children anymore.

Unbelievable even though true!

By Lori

Haven't these children been through enough? Let them be they will have enough on their plate being raised in that household.

By justice

amen! enough is enough. I think he planned to kill him while the main cook was gone. his son needs to tell what he saw and should be allowed to yell it out to mr.murray exactly how he feels

By roB SHUTER

its going to be a media circus.... those poor kids

By Songwriter88

I dont think that the kids should testify. Losing their father was pain enough and now having to possibly put them through this ordeal would be so wrong.

By cheryl martin

Ya know what;Does the defence team think they are so smart"to say Michael administered profofol to himself"A licenced Doctor!!allowing his patient to do that;that really is murder in the first degree..Michaels children know what they saw that day....Its up to them if they feel they can hanle the witness stand!!!

By jennie

What I'm thinking about the Dr. should he use that for his defense is it kind of puts the squash on him saying he only left MJ unattended for "a few minutes " no more than 2. He claimed Mj was asleep when he went to use the restroom. With that in mind , how could MJ have awaken, decided to administer the drug himself. Find the bottle , hook it up, and insert the needle in what I would think a stupor from all the other things the Dr. previously gave him?? All this in 2 minutes??? ok..And don't forget .we need a little time for the drug to hit his system too. I believe the Dr. is Lying from head to toe! Wow1 of all minutes! Those were the 2 measly ones that poor Dr. Murray had no control over! Right!

His Stepchildren Need To be far away from that.

California state recognizes children as his. Not as stepchildren.

By TJ

Sorry Buddy you need to get it Right. Those Are Not hMichael's
stepchildren those are HIS Children in Every WAY.

By MJ4ever

A...........Does that stand for A--hole? Those beautiful kids are Michael Jacksons!!!!! your an idiot!

Been through the mill already, agree. However this is a murder trial. Must testify as to what they witnessed. They'll be fine. Many are praying for them. For entire Jackson clan.

By N506

Putting them through a trial will make them relive their father's death all over again. They shouldn't be made to testify!

By bev

What is the first thing a parent or dr would do when somone is in distress = send any child out of the room. I don't believe for an instant that these kids saw anything worth putting them up on the stand to say. Michael was so addicted to his pain killers I wouldn't doubt for a moment that he gave himself the shot that took his life. I'm sure this Dr is responsible for given Michael medication just because Michael demanded it and no one probably said no to him. I doubt he was the one that is responsible for Michael's death. The family has to start realizing Michael was a drug addict of his own choice and take responsibility for admitting their son/brother was no different than the guy on the street that needed a fix.
