AboutKirsten Expertise I can answer almost everything about Mr. Jackson.
Ask away and i will answer as soon as possible. :)
I have been a fan since childhood and a friend to Mr. Jackson (although we haven't spoken in years.)
I try my best to be up to date with the happenings around him.
Experience I have been a Michael Jackson fan since the age of 4 and I have watched him grow throughout the years. I have a big collection of MJ stuff and i've supported him all the way.

Question QUESTION: Hi Kristen-
I read "Michael Jackson Conspiracy" just recently and then I just a picked up a book by Diane Dimond "Be Careful who you Love". Both held documents from court but Dimond seems to believe that the Arviso's were honestly victims.
I wondred what your perspective was on Ms. Dimond. Do you believe she was truthful throughout the book?
When she talks about Jordie Chandlers case I found myself almost convinced that Michael has a problem. She does de-humanize him and calls him the JacksonTeam she also interveiws very shady people and takes their word for it even after stating there financial intentions.But Jordie apparently drew accurate picutres of Michaels parts is this true?Becuase have also heard that his picutre was not accurate.But after I read Jone's book "Conspiracy" I don't really see how anyone could believe a word those kids or their mother said. But Dimond seems convinced.
Help me out here please I don't know what to believe?
She talked also talked about gay porn in Mcihaels room that Jones didn't mention.
Was Jordies picutre accurate do you know?
Do you think Dimond is honest?
ANSWER: Ms. Diane Dimond based her reports on what she heard and didn't look into the facts. Of course she wasn't truthful throughout the book. Like any other reporter/investigator, they would want to be famous and get attention from other people. Personally I didn't like how Ms. Dimond wrote her book. Yes, it seem convincing because it's HER book. Most of so called "facts" written in the book wasn't really facts at all. Jordie's picture on the other hand was not at all accurate. It's all conformity. Just because she/he says that, someone else would believe it. The Michael Jackson Conspiracy is by far the most precise information on the MJ case. Jones' didn't mention the pornography seen in Mr. Jackson bedroom because it would seem absurd. Why mention it when it has nothing to do with the case?
You mentioned, "gay porn" but it wasn't really gay porn. Ms. Dimond just insisted the pornographic material to be gay, however truly it wasn't. Why is that you ask? One, it catches everyones attention and two, majority of the people who don't like Mr. Jackson insist him to be gay. (which he isn't) Like i've said, I don't think Ms. Dimond was being honest as well as unfair.
I hope this helped. :)
Take Care,
Kirsten

QUESTION: Kristen- Your awsome thanks for the quick response.
I just had to vent to you a little more about the book.
Dimond fails to mention any of Mr. Jacksons health problems as well like the vilitigo? She seemed to think that he puts a cream potion stuff on daily.To me that was a red flag really.
And how she included the fact that Sneddon really believed that these kids were good kids...Oh come on this Tom Sneddon guy isn't stupid.
I'm ashamed that I even read the book.This book is for tabloid junkies I'd like to belive that I am better than that and for sure it was cheap and unfair.
But I just felt so unsatisfied with Michaels autobiography because it was written twenty years ago. So much has happened since then. So I asked Marcus from your site here and he recommended "Michael Jackson the Magic and the Madness". I have that coming. Have you read that?
I really respect JOnes's opinion because seh went in there like the rest of the media believing him a pedophile. SHe mentioned being teased. I respect her and trust her because she wrote it even though people told her not to and I trusted her because she wasn't a die hard fan either you know?
I feel kinda guilty reading stuff about him becasue I know how much he has strifed for privacy, but he's just so compelling.
I'm a white American wife/mother of three. And everybody including my 3 year old can't get enough if his amazing music.
I'd love your in-put on the "Man and the Magic" book. Have you read it? Do you know of other books? What are poems like?
Thanks Kristen...Camille
Answer I haven't read the Magic and the Madness so I really can't say anything about the book.
All i know is that Dimond's book should be ignored because it's not at all factual but exaggerated nonsense.
I've read Dancing The Dream.. It's a collection of Mr. Jackson's own poems. When i first read it, it really inspired me to do good. you know? It's a great book and highly recommend it if you haven't read it. Another book is The Jacksons, My Family ... by Katherine Scruse Jackson (MJ's mother) ... although this book is pretty old.
