Wade Robson (Latest Michael Jackson Accuser) Appears On ‘The Today Show’

May 16, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

From CNN, where you can read more of what Wade said. Or, you know…..you could watch the above interview.

Wade Robson, who is seeking money from Jackson’s estate for alleged child sex abuse, talked about his claims Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show.

Wade Robson, now 30, denied in testimony at Jackson’s child molestation trial in 2005 that he had been molested by the singer.

Two months after Jackson’s death in 2009, Robson said they had “a wonderful relationship” and he called Jackson “a kind human being.”

The lawyer for Jackson’s estate called the new accusations “outrageous and pathetic.”

The accusation came in the form of a creditor’s claim against the estate in a Los Angeles probate court this month.

“This is not a case of repressed memory,” Robson told “Today’s” Matt Lauer. “I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me, but I was psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse. ”

Robson said the abuse started when he was 7-years-old, when he often visited Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. It continued until he was 14, he said.

“He performed sexual acts on me and forced me to perform sexual acts on him,” Robson said.

Tyler Perry Responds To His Former Friend

Yesterday, news hit the internet from one of Tyler’s former friends said that Tyler was gay, and he was beat up for it. So below, Tyler responds to his friend:

Tyler writes…

That Is Your Past And There Is No Future In It

“…Seriously there are a lot of people who are living their lives stuck in reverse, alarms going off, beeps beeping very loudly, but they can’t get it out of reverse. You know these kinds of people, the ones that nobody wants to be around because they can be so annoying, always dwelling on the past. Full of “I wish I had done this” or “I wish I could have done that”. These kinds of people are sad to me, not focusing on the beauty of today, they’d rather dig through the ashes of yesterday. Listen to me, you can’t change anything that you have done in your past, all you can do is go forward. No matter how many mistakes you have made, no matter how many things you have done wrong, you have got to move forward. That is your past and there is no future in it.

And the only way to move forward is to ask for forgiveness from the people who you have hurt and wronged. Whether they forgive you or not you must ask… sorry that’s just the way it is. If you don’t you will continue to reap bad things from what you have done to them, even if they don’t forgive you. You will have the power to be free because you asked for forgiveness. And secondly, you must forgive yourself. Forgiveness is the key that can move your life forward… and turn off the reverse alarm.”

UPDATE: Danity Kane Say They’re Reuniting….Without Diddy

May 16, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Videos 2 Comments  

UPDATE: D. Woods says that she will not be rejoining the Danity Kane fold in an exclusive interview with Freddy O.

****************************************

From TMZ:

Four original members of the group — Aubrey O’Day, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres — grabbed lunch today in L.A. with a new manager to discuss the reunion … and sources tell TMZ, it’s definitely happening. We’re told they plan to record and tour.

We asked the girls if Diddy was involved this time around … their response — “Who’s that?”

You’ll recall, Diddy created the group back in 2005 during “Making the Band 3” and later signed them to Bad Boy Records. In 2009, Diddy fired the entire group (with the exception of Dawn Richard).

It’s unclear who really owns the name “Danity Kane” — but we’re told the girls are going to use it regardless. Translation: you can expect a nasty legal battle.

As for why Diddy eventually gave the group the chop — there have been all kinds of rumors … but we’re told the girls felt Diddy was screwing them big-time in the money department.

May 16, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Videos No Comments  

In the clip above — where you can barely see anything but can hear pretty well — Kanye had this to say about the Paparazzi and his SNL show:

“One thing about me. I’m the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity…because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real shit. and that’s it. That’s motherfucking it. That’s motherfucking it. So I don’t want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and shit to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. throwing me off of my focus and shit. Harassing you all motherfucking day. I ain’t no motherfucking celebrity…”

After a brief pause, he went on to say this in yet another clip:

“[I had a friend ask me, ‘Are you gonna go on] SNL and you’re going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and shit and like humanize yourself?’ I ain’t here to apologize to no motherfuckers man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that kind of situation.

“I ain’t no motherfucking celebrity. I ain’t running for office. I ain’t kissing nobody’s motherfucking babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and shit. I’m trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don’t want nobody to ask NOTHING ELSE OF ME. Don’t ask nothing else of me. Motherfuckers chasing you down ’bout to make you crash and shit. And all they want is one nigga to laugh and shit. Hell nah I ain’t doing no motherfucking SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain’t no motherfucking joke. That’s it. Stop that shit right there.”
