Katherine Jackson -- 'I Haven't Been Doing So Well'
30 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Katherine Jackson claims she "hasn't been doing so well" since MJ died -- in fact, according to a never-before-seen interview from last month, the singer's mother has basically been an emotional wreck.

During the moving interview -- which took place before the anniversary of Michael's death -- a visibly upset Katherine claims, "Not a day goes by that I don't think about my son."

The clip was shot by the same website hawking Katherine's new book "Never Can Say Goodbye" -- and according to our source, the footage is all part of a larger documentary on Jackson's life.

As for who's behind the whole project -- we're told it's an equal partnership between Katherine and Howard Mann -- the same guy who co-wrote her book.

    Why are TMZ posting this today when the interview was made over a month ago, before the one year anniversary?

    The things that are fishy about the whole thing are--

    1. The timing if this article...why tell about it now when it was done a month ago?

    2. he word "Documentary" stood out.

    Interesting to read the following article again:
    Debbie Rowe, Marc Schaffel Wing It to Tokyo
    6/23/2010 8:40 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

    TMZ was at LAX yesterday when Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson's former confidante Marc Schaffel boarded an American Airlines flight to Tokyo.

    0623-debbie-rowe-ex-tmz-01.jpg

    The two are tight, and Schaffel apparently still has strong connections to the Jackson family, even though MJ and Schaffel had a major falling out and ended up suing each other.

    Schaffel shot an interview with Katherine recently to promote her book, "Never Can Say Goodbye."

    Rowe was mum at LAX, but Schaffel said he's been friends with Katherine for a long time.

    As for why they're heading to Tokyo ... we're told Schaffel is releasing a documentary video he shot while he was working with Jackson. It will play on 200 screens in Tokyo.

    And what is Katherine talking about at 0:27 'I felt that Michael would be there'.
    Can someone please listen 'cause I can hardly hear what she is saying.

    Please delete this if it's a double post, I looked but I am not sure.

    So on the hoax recap on the main page there was that part about the 911 call coming from the Beverly Hills hotel... here it is again if you haven't read it:

    The call wasn’t made from 100 North Carolwood Drive, it was made from 9641 Sunset Boulevard…. The Beverly Hills Hotel:



    We've all been told that there is a Cell Phone Tower at 9641 Sunset blvd which is the common explanation as to why the 911 screen cap has that address.

    According to this site there is no Cell Phone Tower at 9641 Sunset Blvd.
    <!-- m -->http://www.cellreception.com/towers/tow<!-- m --> ... ate_abr=ca

    Zoom in on The Beverly Hills Hotel (as recommended by the site) and see that there are no Cell Phone Towers. There are none marked on there.

    Cell number 909 273 4846. Cell phones can be traced - especially in emergency situations. This call was made by a Verizon number, obviously as it says Verizon Wireless on the screen. When a person calls 911 from a cell phone the call is placed through to the PSAP (Public-safety answering point) call center.

    "The location of the phone will be tracked using triangulation - by taking 2 or more readings, it is possible to calculate where the signal is coming from by working out the triangle that fits the signal strengths. The 3rd point is the location of the phone. (Meaning they don't pinpoint towers, they pinpoint the most likely physical location of the cell phone by determining the signal strengths it sends out in multiple directions) However, when the person who has the phone has made an emergency call, this GPS transmission will always be sent. This is designed to ensure that the police can always track a cell phone location, in order to get help to people who need it.”
    <!-- m -->http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Trace-<!-- m --> ... &id=665747

    So if the caller was there, the doctor was there and Michael Jackson was at the Beverly Hills Hotel, then who did they pick up at Carolwood Drive?
    .
    .
    .
    Yeah, so this got me wondering... How far away is 100 N Carolwood from The Beverly Hills Hotel? I found out it is only .9 miles away. Seriously? He chose a house 3 minutes away from UCLA and 3 minutes from The Beverly Hills Hotel? Suspicious as hell...

    The Beverly Hills Hotel seems like a PERFECT place to hide temporarily.

    Hmmm....a documentary on Michael Jacksons Life...I suppose that will tie in beautifully with the Conrad Murray documentary in production.

    Notice how it says "on Jacksons LIFE"..not death <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

    Is it normal that Katherine is wearing the same rose jacket in this interview as on the photo with Michael ?

    Oh sorry you have to look the video at the end of the interview they put a photo of Michael and Katherine...

  • Wait a minute, something is off here... Look what's written below this picture:

    TMZ_Katherine.jpg

    By putting TMZ.com below this image TMZ claims to be the one who shot the video, yet they write:

    "The clip was shot by the same website hawking Katherine's new book "Never Can Say Goodbye" -- and according to our source, the footage is all part of a larger documentary on Jackson's life."



    Now take a look at this article which is currently on page 2 of TMZ, which also includes an image link to a video:

    Suing Mad 'Idol' Reject: I'm Gonna Bring 'AI' Down
    7/27/2010 2:00 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

    The guy who's suing "American Idol" for allegedly exploiting his sexual orientation says he deserves a $300,000,000 payday ... and claims he's going to "bring American Idol down."

    TMZ_AI.jpg

    TMZ ran into Ian Benardo in New York where he also berated a "bum" for asking him for directions -- before continuing to preach about how words can be hurtful.

    "American Idol" producer FremantleMedia had no comment on the lawsuit.

    This video was indeed shot by TMZ.



    Now I'd really like to know who shot that video of Katherine..!

    off topic, but made me think - the 2nd article about Debbie and Marc. the 1st sentence in the story says "TMZ was at LAX yesterday when Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson's former confidante Marc Schaffel boarded an American Airlines flight to Tokyo." TMZ just so happened to be at LAX when Debbie & Marc waltzed up to the American Airlines counter to check-in or purchase tickets??? Do California paparazzi regularly visit airports; just found it odd that TMZ was there at the same time UNLESS TMZ was directed there by "someone" as say act 17 in the big motion picture...Thriller 2 - act 17 at LAX staring TMZ, Debbie Rowe & Marc Schaffel <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> I NEED caffeine and like NOW!

    I don't think that's off topic at all! Like Mo noticing that TMZ appear to have made today's video of Katherine, you've noticed they just happened to be at the airport! I'm having problems with TMZ today - are they messing with us or do they really know stuff because they are being 'directed'?

    Caffeine would wind me up even more - I think a lie down in a darkened room should do me!!

    Unfortunately YES! TMZ has footage of celebrities coming and going from LAX on a daily basis.

    i've just watched the video and i should admit that she sounded good, not emotional at all, i have watched other interviews of Mrs Jackson and she sounded just like in those interviews,just normal and i think it'
    s natural that she thinks about her son every day(considering the fact that he has gone through hell in his life and had to hoax his own death-reasons can be different), i, as his fan ,think about him every day, every hour, so i think it's just a natural thing, keep the faith, god bless Katherine.
  • Does anyone else find her answers "scripted"?! I know I do. She seems to know her words, doesn;t seem to think about to say...idk how to put it...but something seems off. And she looks nervous. And the part where she says " not a day goes by..." she looks sad and them with a smile" but other than that I'm doing great"...There's something about it... Don;t get me wrong, I like KJ and I know how much MJ loves her and I don't mean to disrespect her at all,..but she just seems to "act" of a "scrip". And the last phrase as well...
    She seemed more hurt and emotional hen she spoke about MJ's allegations back in 2005... <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->

    Well that video shot supposedly at the Beverly Hills hotel mentioned above is just weird because of that Asian guy's shifty eyes and Katherine looking sneaky like she's staring at Michael while he's filming the whole thing. They both just look guilty of something or like they are hiding something.
  • lilwendylilwendy Posts: 788
    THIS IS SO FAKE!!!! This is a total splice up job!!! Take a look carefully at when they are showing the interviewer... look at Katherine... barely moving...

    It looks like this kind of thing [youtube:3oie8u0p]
    <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

    Where you splice together a real interview, splice in an interiewer to ask questions and take out pieces of the real interview and use it as the answers.

    Media does this all the time!!!! I believe that is why TMZ.com is credited with the video clip.... they probably created the whole thing!
  • paula-cpaula-c Posts: 7,221
    I was thinking about the Ms. Katherine.. for that she not bothers this one with TMZ, with the whole respect that she deserves (she inspires very much his respect), but it is that it must be very brave with TMZ.. for that TMZ spends it to him doing these Michael's very graceful videoes and also of Murray, the person that supposedly I kill Michael, if I was never the Ms. Katherine to give an interview to TMZ. ..... there are people who doubts that this TMZ in the HOAX <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
  • lilwendylilwendy Posts: 788
    Ok I'm confused... this is the NBC interview that was put out for never can say goodbye... if you watch it... her shirt changes color from pink to turquoise. It's the same interview that is on TMZ.

    [youtube:zh8noeny]

    Ok like at 6:40 for instance Katherine says "there'd be so many things I'd like to say to him, but I'd like to know what happened" well without the preamble of saying Katherine is talking about Michael we really have no clue what she was responding to. They could have said "Katherine, if you could meet Hitler, what would you say to him" and she could give that answer and they could splice it, put a new question or inference and then use the same answer. Know what I mean?

    All these media clips, new reports, etc. are all a bunch of lies IMHO <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
