:animal0017: >:( >:( ??? ??? <br /><br />I just don't get it....are these people broke or something....why does all this crap come out now???  It just doesn't make sense. Obviously they need some money or this wouldn't be happening.  <br /><br /><br /><br />LIES or TRUTH...it doesn't matter.  What matter is they have once again, made MJ look more and more like a weirdo than ever.  They have betrayed a good friend and this stinks.

"Holofernes" ...it's what Front said. I didn't realize whom he meant it was for, at first. This has been SIMMERING, until this...creature thought he could cash in...<br /><br />BTW - this is the dude sued Liberace for Palimony, which was absolutely DISMISSED. Oh, waaait -  he was Liberace's BODYGUARD, so he actually had a reason to be around him, night and day! Liberace also dated many, many women in Hollywood. Liberace had a bonafide speech impediment since he was a young boy, and he turned it all around into being worth MILLIONS. Those who besmirched him at his death, were most likely jealous. He even dated Mae West, and many other women, that made untold men jealous. <br /><br />He died of Pneumonia - most likely because he had EMPHYSEMA for smoking daily, and onstage, since 1985, which had affected his heart and liver. Anything else is conjecture. He sued many Media papers successfully for claiming he was homosexual, and said he "Cried all the way to the bank," with what he won. Not someone to cross, that's for sure. Not one person ever proved anything with him - and women LOVED his costumes, which were designed and tailored, to keep women's attention - not for himself.<br /><br />So - this PITA should really, really think TWICE, for what he's saying - why did he wait? Ohhh....right...same reason Fiddes did.<br /><br />Also - I've noticed that this guy just came out of PRISON, and had plenty of time to FABRICATE, reverse engineer the hands of time, his story. Guess he feels he needs another gravy train. He added this onto his alleged affair with Liberace - then went around claiming Liberace himself, spread HIV/AIDS!? Dude - if he did, why are YOU ALIVE!? Every guy I know who had it from the '80s IS DEAD. Yo story don't add up! <br /><br />And the Red-headed Bubblegum Queen yells, "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"  :images:

<br /><br />Very interesting, Tink. This actually makes a lot of sense. I read on Twitter that this person never mentioned MJ before he was broke and needed money. He's just like the rest of them out for a quick buck at the expense of a celebrity.<br /><br />I have no idea how this will end but I do have confidence in Michael so will continue to watch and learn.<br /><br />Blessings to you all.

I always heard Liberace was gay, but now I know it could well be tabloid trash.<br /><br />

Lawsuits and allegations of homosexuality<br /><br />Liberace's fame in the United States was matched for a time in the United Kingdom. In 1956, an article in The Daily Mirror by veteran columnist Cassandra (William Connor)[45] mentioned that Liberace was "…the summit of sex—the pinnacle of masculine, feminine, and neuter. Everything that he, she, and it can ever want… a deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavoured, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love," a description which did everything it could to imply he was homosexual without actually saying so.[46] Liberace sent a telegram that read: "What you said hurt me very much. I cried all the way to the bank."[28] (This phrase was already in use by the 1940s.[28]) He sued[47] the newspaper for libel, testifying in a London court that he was not a homosexual and had never taken part in homosexual acts. He won the suit, partly on the basis of the term fruit-flavoured, which was held to impute homosexuality. The £8,000 damages he received from The Daily Mirror (approximately $22,000) led Liberace to repeat the catchphrase to reporters: "I cried all the way to the bank!"[48] Liberace's popularization of the phrase inspired the title of Crying All the Way to the Bank, a detailed report of the trial based on transcripts, court reports and interviews, by the former Daily Mirror journalist Revel Barker.<br />Liberace fought and settled a similar case in the United States against Confidential. Rumors and gossip magazines frequently alleged behavior that strongly implied that he was homosexual. A typical issue of Confidential in 1957 shouted, "Why Liberace's Theme Song Should Be 'Mad About the Boy!'"[49]<br />In 1982, Scott Thorson, Liberace's 24-year-old bodyguard, limo driver, and alleged live-in boyfriend of five years, sued the pianist for $113 million in palimony after an acrimonious split-up.[citation needed] Liberace continued publicly[where?] to deny that he was homosexual and insisted that Thorson was never his lover. In 1984, most of Thorson's claim was dismissed, although he received a $95,000 settlement.[citation needed] Thorson claimed in his book,[citation needed] published after Liberace died, he settled because "I did not want to fight it out with a dying man."[citation needed] Thorson claimed his lawsuit was legitimate and primarily based on conversion of property, and ultimately got twisted in litigation.<br />Confusion over Liberace's true sexuality was further muddled in the public's mind by his public friendships and romantic links with actress Joanne Rio (whom he claimed he nearly married), skater Sonja Henie, aging Hollywood icon Mae West, and famous transsexual Christine Jorgenson. Many publicity releases and women's magazine articles attempted to counter the homosexuality rumors by portraying Liberace as "the perfect all-around man any woman would be thrilled to be with... He's so considerate on dates... He never forgets the little things that women love… He makes you feel that when you are with him, well, you really are with him." Another article was "Mature Women Are Best: TV's Top Pianist Reveals What Kind of Woman He'd Marry."[50]<br />In a 2011 interview, actress and close friend Betty White confirmed that Liberace was gay, and that she often served as a date to counter rumors of the musician's homosexuality.[51]

<br />Interesting guy and great pianist!<br /><br />Liberace and Boogie Woogie!<br />

@MJonmind - I discredit Betty White's answer politely, because of her advanced age, over 90. No other woman has EVER claimed this of Liberace - and I believe Mae West would've said something, if not...satisfied.  <br /><br />"In 1989, Thorson emerged as a pivotal witness in the prosecution of gangster Eddie Nash in the 1981 quadruple murders of the Wonderland Gang. For his testimony, he was placed in the federal witness protection program. In 1990, he was shot five times when drug dealers broke into his hotel room in Jacksonville, Florida"<br /><br />Oh - he also has Hep-C, and now has a COMMON LAW WIFE!? His story has proven to be just THAT - a story. A figment of his imagination, just like Fiddes. They both must be vying for a lifetime LIARS AWARD.

Great work Tink... :I like the way you think...<br /><br />

hesouttamylife

My concern is the book he's written and the film he's making.  I certainly hope that he doesn't or hasn't included this facade in either of them.  If he has, may the ESTATE sue the be-jesus out of his a$$!  Delusional at its best.  And what was the point of adding this juicy tidbit of trash into an interview about his book about his love with Liberace.  Michael's name did not even need to be mentioned to do that.  I just don't like it.  They think that since Michael is "dead" they can get away with defaming him.  NOT.  The Estate for all purposes is still very much "Alive".  And since they obviously didn't get the memo, so is MJ!

emulik

It seems that every weird person who needs money comes with stupid story about Michael. Michael is really like gold mine for this type of people. How they will be surprised when Michael comes back one day! they should better move on another planet..Michael will be the winner!

LoveNeedsExpression

Liberace probably hooked up (if there is even a tiny semblence of truth to this story) with a body double. I dont think (nor do I care) MJ had gay relations, but its not an impossible possibility.

hesouttamylife

The  issue of this post is not in whether or not MJ is gay, but for this a-hole to be on national tv tooting his own horn and making claims that he cannot substantiate at Michael's expense.  If Michael had gay relationships and didn't reveal them himself, then in my eyes, it didn't happen.

JustDucky

This info comes from MJJC. <br /><br />Yesterday I tweeted and e-mailed everyone listed (as did many, many others). Since ET went ahead with this liar's interview (he told Larry King in 2002 that his ONLY homosexual relationship was with Liberace and that MJ was a friend to him) I am going to call Kraft and tell them I will never buy any of their products again. Money talks and bullshit walks, as they say.<br /><br />Even Tom Sneddon passed on Thorsen's offer to testify in 2005, what does that tell you?<br /><br />We all talk about spreading Michael's message, but demanding truth and protecting his reputation are just as important, imo. Those outside the USA can use twitter  or mail a letter to stand up for MJ!<br /><br />From MJJC:<br /><br />Kraft Foods Wants to hear from MJ fans-- They had NO idea - what Entertainment Tonight is doing to MJ- CALL NOW!!<br />Kraft foods ---Telephone: Attention: Consumer Relations Group 1-800-543-5335<br /><br />MAIL:<br />Leslie Moonves, President & CEO, CBS<br />Glenn Geller, Senior VP, Current Programming, CBS<br />CBS Entertainment<br />51 West 52nd Street<br />New York, New York 10019<br /><br />PHONE:<br />Linda Bell Blue, ET Executive Producer<br />(212) 975-4321 (**Ask to be transferred to Ms. Bell Blue’s voicemail, where you can leave a message**)<br /><br />TWITTER:<br />Primary account / @ETonlineAlert<;br />Mark Steines, ET Co-anchor / @MarkSteines<;br />Linda Bell Blue, ET Executive Producer / @ExecProdLinda<;br />Sharlette Hambrick, ET Senior Producer / @ETProdSharlette<;br />Bonnie Tiegel, ET Senior Producer / @ETSrProdBonnie<;br /><br />FACEBOOK: Facebook.com/EntertainmentTonight<br /><br />EMAIL: et.newsdesk@cbsparamount.com <br /><br />The thread at MJJC:<br /><br />[WARNING] Intertainment Tonight interviews Thorson Liberace Ex. who claims affair with MJ  <br /><br /><br />

hesouttamylife

@JustDucky I'm on this since last night and the twitter campaign.  Many people don't believe that being proactive works, but its been proven time and again with issues concerning Michael that action speaks louder than words.  Many an issue have been turned around and stopped dead in its tracks just by people banning together and taking a stand and acting on it.  I agree whole heartedly that unless we move on it and put up a concerted effort, nothing will change.  I am sick and tired of all these scabs coming out of the trenches and trying to rag on Michael.  Sick and tired.  Yes, it takes some ground work but the end result is so worth it.

msgitm

Why do ALL these boneheads claim to have been "best friends" with Michael. I don't buy this guys bs, or any of the other so called "lovers" of Mj's.  Notice how they only come out in 'death'!  Where the heck were they in life?  And wouldn't a so called "best friend" protect their friend in 'death'? Have they no respect for his mother or children?  No way will this go forward into a movie.  I'm sure the estate will see to that.  <br />BTW; ET used to be a reputable entertainment show - now it's just another rag like the National Enquirer.

JustDucky

@hesouttamylife I agree with you 100%.<br /><br />To quote Michael from TII "...they who? It starts with us."<br /><br />Start tweeting, e-mailing and dialing that phone people! Otherwise you are not standing up for the man you LOVE. If you are intimidated at the thought of taking action, think about what Michael endured for so many years. We live in a consumer driven society, and if the consumers act in unison the message will resonate loud and clear - "you will NOT profit from dragging MJ thru' the mud EVER AGAIN!"<br />

<br /><br />I SERIOUSLY doubt they give a bloody damn what any of us think; the scent of blood only drives them harder. The only way to get to them, IS THEIR SPONSORS! If they lose ALL of them, then they'll think twice - Kraft is only a start - you gotta get them ALL.<br /><br />Look at the list ABOVE; they are ALL marketed as TABLOID TRASH. You could also boycott the actors, Matt Damon, Kirk Douglas, in the upcoming movie to be filmed, based upon Thorsen's filth!<br /><br />@JustDucky - that is correct: Thorsen spread his lies to LKL in 2002, AFTER Liberace died. He did say that he & Michael were only friends (met like when they were 16, allegedly). Michael had the hots for a certain starlet, but neither was ready, both were too young (Tatum O' Neal). So, none of this meshes at all. Shy IS Shy.<br /><br />Then allegedly right after that, Thorsen dives right into a relationship with Liberace!? You've got to read it, to see it's all a con.<br /><br />Sound familiar, anyone, like Klein & his assistant?<br /><br />Thorsen's a criminal; a leech. Oh, sound familiar again!?<br /><br />Well - here's my solution for Thorsen that he and his wife can do together, and solve the leeching in his life for once and for all:  The ULTIMATE Bedazzler Kit Kit Kraft inc. ::... It will, of course, add much weight to any clothing in high volume -  but apparently that's what he's been jealous of all these years.<br /><br />So Thorsen - buy it, use it - and get over it!

Well, no good deed goes unpunished.<br /><br />I just spoke to a very nice woman at that number, which is Kraft Customer Relations, who had no idea what I was talking about. She did check with the marketing department and confirmed that Kraft runs adds on CBS during ET but she hadn't a clue about Scott Thorsen or the fact that MJ fans are outraged. She does now, and to her credit wanted details on who Thorsen is and what he is saying.<br /><br />This was a surprisingly positive experience - this woman asked me to slow down several times as she was actually typing what I was saying, wanted details, and when I said "dragging Michael's name thru' the mud for profit has to stop, it's enough!" she empathized and agreed. Same reaction to my mention of Sneddon's witch hunt in 2004 and Thorsen's National Enquirer story.<br /><br />My main purpose in posting this is so other members are prepared if they call and the person at Kraft doesn't know what the issue is. I've left a notice at MJJC, which is where I got the notice that Kraft wants to hear from MJ fans. <br />

2 thumbs up for that Ducky.  They must’ve ha a shift change because this morning, they were obviously over whelmed and flustered.  Not quite as nice.  Good job,  :beerchug:

What I just sent to HBO, to their programming department:<br /><br />Dear Sirs and Madams,<br /><br />I am absolutely FURIOUS that you dare take this convicted drug-dealing, arms turkey serious, who'd SUED Liberace - AND LOST! Liberace smoked his entire life, and NO ONE, but no one has ever come forth, not even Mae West, none of the other famous women, this entire time. Unless you count an aging, senile woman in her bloody nineties. I had an uncle die of Emphysema, lost weight, and died the same way of Pneumonia - he simply wasted away. Mr. Gibb almost died in the hospital of Pneumonia, and was in a coma, wasting away - but he miraculously recovered. Are you going to make false allegations against him, too?<br /><br />Liberace sued everyone who accused him of being gay - AND WON.<br /><br />Now this Thorsen, after claiming on Larry King Live back in 2002, that Michael Jackson was only friends with him when they were 16.<br /><br />Now after serving FOUR YEARS in prison, this excon is now on a smear campaign on Michael. WE ARE NOT AMUSED. Where do the lies end!? Why are you giving money to an excon!? <br /><br />ENOUGH! I and many others are not only going to boycott this movie, the producers, the director, the actors Matt Damon, Kirk Douglas, but I'm going to cancel my subscription to HBO, and never watch Game of Thrones, TruBlood, nor anything else having to do with you -  if you continue to pursue this monkey business.<br /><br />This is going to spread to those who love Michael Jackson TONIGHT, because of CBS' Entertainment tonight interview with this Thorsen, who was even in Witness Protection over the Wonderland killings, and claims he was shot 5 times. How many people survive THAT? Impossible = LIES.<br /><br />If you do not heed this email, this will all be at the San Diego Comicon 2012. It will spread like WILDFIRE across 250,000 attendees, who will then give this information to their friends, which will easily go up in the MILLIONS. Michael's one of us geeks, and it now counts in addition to his fan base.<br /><br />This is about Righting Wrongs.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Anonymous (I gave a name, but a pseudonym)

MFFreedom

Oh, how I hope these guys are setting themselves up to sooooooooooooo much ridicule, falsly thinking they are in a safe place. I soooo hope that that was also part of Michaels' plan: to have all those leeches come forward with crap, feeling safe b/c of thinking MJ is dead anyway, and then - BAM!! they will be the laughter of the world. PLUS, this whole stinking news stuff will be exposed also.  :michael-jackson: :michael_jackson-1135:<br /><br /> ;D

hesouttamylife

:beerchug: tink. By the time they get through hearing from us, they will at least think twice before allowing any creep to appear on their show and use Michael’s back as their platform.  It is time for a change and we can do it.  Yes WE can!
