April 14 : LOS ANGELES – A collection of Michael Jackson’s possessions from Neverland Ranch is safe from the auctioneer’s gavel now that the pop singer and Julien’s Auction House have reached a settlement to their dispute over whether 2,000 items were ever intended for sale.Specific terms were not disclosed. But, in short, Jackson keeps his things, while Julien’s keeps its exhibition, which was open to the public and originally meant to promote next week’s sale.”There was so much interest from so many of Jackson’s fans that instead of putting the items in the hands of private collectors, Dr. Tohme and Julien’s Auction House have made arrangements that will allow the collection to be shared with and enjoyed by Jackson’s fans for many years to come,” read a joint statement from Jackson spokesman Dr. Tohme R. Tohme and auction organizer Darren Julien.Jackson’s production company, MJJ Productions, sued Julien in early March, seeking to halt the sale by arguing that Jackson hadn’t authorized it. A judge blocked one effort by MJJ Productions to cancel it earlier this month, and another was scheduled to hear arguments Wednesday for an injunction.”I believe both sides are pleased with the resolution,” Julien said Tuesday by telephone.Julien has said he spent $2 million organizing the sale, which another auctioneer estimated could have fetched $12 million after its April 22 start. The exhibition in Beverly Hills costs $20 to attend, and auction catalogues — a $50 single volume and $200, five-volume boxed set — were still selling, Julien said.The statement also said MJJ Productions and Julien’s Auction House would be making a “substantial” donation to MusiCares to benefit artists in need.Julien said all of Jackson’s possessions, which the auction house took directly from the Neverland Ranch property, would be returned to the pop singer. He would not say where they would be taken.

Michael, I went there this morning and saw my tapestry, the one I gave you three days before Prince’s birthday.

If you need me to come to the house, just give me a call in the morning. My concern is now that we’ve brought the doctor into the fold and have played the tough love, now or never card is that the artist may be unable to rise to the occasion due to real emotional stuff. He appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening. He had a terrible case of the chills, was trembling, rambling and obsessing. Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated. If we have any chance at all to get him back in the light. It’s going to take a strong therapist to help him through this as well as immediate physical nurturing. I was told by our chereographer that during the artists costume fitting with his designer tonight they noticed he’s lost more weight. As far as i can tell there is no one taking care responsibility (caring for) for him on a daily basis. Where was his assistant tonight? Tonight I was feeding him, wrapping him in blankets to warm his chills, massaging his feet to calm him and calling his doctor. There were four security guards outside his door, but no one offering him a cup of hot tea. Finally it’s important for everyone to know , I believe that he really wants this. I twould shatter him, Break his heart if we pulled the plug. He’s terribly frightened it’s all going to go away. He asked me repeatedly tonight if i was going to leave him. H e was practically begging for my confidence. It broke my heart. H e was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs”.

From Talitha’s book : “We remained in this state of limbo, crippled with uncertainty, until 21 June, when we received an email from a French fan called Marika, who had visited Michael at Culver Studios with another fan earlier that month to present him with a jacket they’d made. She wrote that when Michael had taken off his jacket to try on theirs, they had been shocked by how skinny he was, beyond “scary skinny,” she said, “a skeleton.” On return to France, Marika had written to Michael’s long-time makeup artist and friend, Karen Faye, who was working on the This Is It tour. Karen had replied, saying that she was aware of Michael’s condition and was “doing everything humanly possible” to help him. She asked Marika to keep her observations to herself, no doubt out of concern for Michael’s privacy, but Marika decided to share them with us, and though it didn’t prevent the horror that would unfold four days later, I’ll always feel grateful that she did. In her email, which she sent to about thirty followers, Marika pointed out that the only other people (his children aside, obviously) around Michael on a daily basis were employees. “No family, no friends, no one,” she said. “On the set, I watched people around Michael. Everyone was avoiding Michael, looking somewhere else. They were all working on their video. Too [much] money involved. You don’t want to be fired because you told Michael Jackson to eat. You all know Michael’s employees will never take the risk to lose their job. They don’t love Michael this much.” She then urged us all to help him. “So please, let’s all discuss it together, to find a way to save him. And I don’t think ‘save’ is too exaggerated,” she said.

I saw a slender but strong and coherent Michael Jackson. “It seems like he is setting himself up to be the victim,” Faye wrote in the email to DiLeo. I thought the best pathway, he needed some psychological help,” Faye explained. “I’m trying to figure out what is going on.” “He hurts himself most of all,” Faye wrote.“I don’t think you, Kenny or Randy deserve becoming the villains, or the financial victims,” Faye wrote. “This is between you and me alone,” Faye wrote in the email to DiLeo. “I am leaving this in your hands as you have instructed me to do.” “His bones are protruding. I’m one person that has physical contact with him every day. Michael’s OCD is getting worse. He repeats his actions and rambles words constantly”. There was no response from Frank DiLeo or anybody else…
