Stars Remember Jackson In Gest Tribute


WHITNEY HOUSTON and SMOKEY ROBINSON have opened up about MICHAEL JACKSON a year after his death - for a new TV tribute created by the KING OF POP's best pal, DAVID GEST.

Gest has grilled members of the Jackson family as well as the Thriller legend's pals Robinson, Houston, Dionne Warwick and Petula Clark for his four-hour 'popumentary', The Real Michael Jackson.

The show includes an interview with Jackson's eldest sister Rebbie, who discusses the singer's alleged pill addiction, while his beloved mum Katherine pays a touching tribute to her son.

Gest explains, "I have spent the past three months travelling the world interviewing people who were most important in (Jackson's) life. I believe this popumentary will entertain and educate in equal measures about who the real Michael Jackson was. I hope this will serve as a lasting testament to the compassion and love that he had for all mankind."

The special is due for release in June (10), a year after the superstar died from a cardiac arrest last summer (09). A broadcast date has not yet been confirmed.

It's set for release on June 10th not the anniversary. Will this serve as he says as a " lasting testament". Will this show the world what a kind person he was? Will this be the final act in convincing people? Big names on this special ..... piece by piece?

    There is a part of this that sounds so final and that gives me a sad feeling. But he also says this "popumentary" will entertain and education in equal measures about who the real Michael Jackson was. And that is mostly what I think this hoax is about - clearing Michael of all the garbage unfairly dumped on him over the years by educating people on who he really is.

    I agree with this as well. I think that part was very carefully worded.

    Here is more:

    David Gest has pledged to show Michael Jackson in a “truly unique light” in his new documentary.

    The producer has interviewed the late ‘Thriller’ star’s friends and family for the forthcoming four-hour documentary which includes intimate glimpses into his life, including a tour of his childhood home with brother Tito Jackson, while his mother Katherine shares her memories of her son – who died of acute Propofol intoxication last June – for the first time.

    David said: “I have tried to show Michael in a truly unique light. I have spent the past three months travelling the world interviewing people who were most important in his life. I believe this popumentary will entertain and educate in equal measures about who the real Michael Jackson was. I hope this will serve as a lasting testament to the compassion and love that he had for all mankind. He was a very complex individual and this special reveals the many different facets of his personality.”

    In addition, the film – which will be distributed worldwide - will also include interviews with Smokey Robinson, Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, Michael’s assistant Frank Cascio, and co-writer Siedah Garrett among others, chronicling the iconic singer’s obsession with his appearance, marriages to Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley and battle with prescription drugs.

    Also included in the show is a rare never-before-seen interview between Michael and David at the ‘Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration, The Solo Years’ which revealed the ‘Billie Jean’ star’s real deep voice as he plays jokes on his pal.

    Tito said: “David had one of those rare friendships with Michael where Michael could always be himself. As teenagers and into their twenties they were inseparable and were always getting into trouble and playing jokes on everyone. David was the other brother by another mother to Michael and I! He was never afraid to stand up to Michael and tell him the truth, whether he wanted to hear it or not.”

    I am clinging to the fact that this was written/produced with the objective to "discover the man we never knew". After all, this slogan about MJ has been repeated ever since This Is It became known. I suspect, and rightfully so, that after many years of media torture, MJ is finally getting the positive press he has always deserved. Amen, to that, I say!!!! <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
