It seems Michael Jackson may not have been quite as fond of Madonna as you might expect from her moving tribute at last week’s VMAs.

The pair became friends in the early nineties, and went on several high profile dates, including showing up to the 1990 Academy Awards ceremony on each other’s arm.

But in a nine-year-old filmed interview with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, due to be shown on TV this week, Michael claims the affection was purely one-sided.

He told Boteach: “I think she  likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people. I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common.

“She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes form the heart in the way you present yourself.”

Marijuana and numerous empty drug bottles were found by police officers at Michael Jackson’s home shortly after he died, according to search warrants unsealed on Thursday.

Two bags of marijuana, a bottle of temazepam (used to treat sleeplessness), empty bottles of the sedatives lorzaepam and diazepam were discovered during the search. They also found four other empty pill bottles with no indication as to what may have been in them.

Detectives were concerned that, when Jackson died, he had “received injection of an unknown medication, prior to his death,” the warrants say. Other documents revealed that Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, had been giving the singer the anesthetic propofol intravenously.

The search warrants were served on June 29, four days after the singer was pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center, where Murray was less than forthcoming. Murray, according to documents, left the hospital “against the objections of the investigating officers” and they were not able to talk with him in the days that followed.

Michael Jackson’s father, Joe has seemingly contradicted reports that surfaced earlier this week that the late singer’s funeral was set to take place on would have been Jackson’s 51st birthday.

When asked about the King of Pop’s burial the 81 year-old told E!, “I don’t know now. We have to figure it out.”

Rumours are rife that the burial has been delayed until August 31 as this will allow the family more to to prepare for the event.

Jackson who was twice accused of child molestation took the powerful drug known as ‘Depo Provera’, which is usually given to sex offenders to cool their sexual appetite, Mirror reported online.

The drug which restricts the flow of testosterone producing brain hormones was prescribed to the ‘King of Pop’ by Dr Alimorad Farshchian.

He was the singer’s physician between 2001 and 2003. He distanced himself from Jackson after the release of Bashir’s documentary, which plunged the star into depression.

The doctor’s spokesman confirmed to the paper that he had prescribed drugs to Jacko to curb his sex drive.

“Yes, he was trying to help him,” the spokesman said. Farshchian began prescribing Depo Provera after he became concerned at Jackson’s attitude to young boys at his infamous Neverland sleepovers said the report.

Ian Barkley, Jacko’s official photographer for four years, said that Jackson started consuming the drugs at the doctor’s advice.

A grief-stricken Dame Elizabeth Taylor has been admitted to a Los Angeles

hospital as she struggles to cope with the death of her dear friend Michael Jackson.

Sources tell NY Post celebrity informant Cindy Adams that the 77-year-old screen legend’s already fragile health has been in a steady state of decline since her pop icon pal died suddenly of cardaic arrest late last month. He was 50.

The Jackson family denied her access to their funeral pews and barred her from the events because she was Michael’s friend, not theirs. She’s suffering weakness, tiredness, exhaustion, emotional draining. She hasn’t stopped crying. She and Michael were devoted to one another, Adams wrote Tuesday.

She is allegedly suffering extreme exhaustion and has been weeping constantly.

Michael Jackson’s family has its suspicions about Dr. Conrad Murray and what went down on the day Jackson died.

A source close to the family tells TMZ they feel Dr. Murray should not be cleared of any wrongdoing just yet. The family requested a second autopsy to find out what the last drug Jackson took was. We’re told the family feels once those results are known, a criminal investigation will take place.

We’re also told the family is questioning Dr. Murray’s abilities as a doctor. In the 911 call first published by TMZ, the caller says Dr. Murray was performing CPR on Jackson on a bed; CPR is routinely performed on a hard surface.

As our source put it, “If you’re a doctor, how can you not know how to do CPR?”

The crowns fit: Michael Jackson was the King of Pop; Elvis Presley was the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Both men commanded the pop-culture landscape, as much as the charts. Both men influenced their industry, as well as scores of artists.

And both men died unexpectedly and barely into middle age.

Jackson, whose lifetime of hits helped sell more than 750 million albums worldwide, whose smooth moves revolutionized dance as much as pop, and whose penchant for headline-making helped burnish his brand, and, following child-abuse allegations, helped tarnish it, as well, died today after being found unconscious at his Los Angeles home, multiple sources confirm to E! News.

Jackson suffered a heart attack, according to father Joe Jackson, and never recovered.

Music’s eternal Peter Pan was 50. In the end, the King of Pop outlived Presley, whose daughter Lisa Marie Presley Jackson would wed, by eight years
