I came home after performing at a live performance for a music awards because I was known as The Queen of Pop. When I came home, I looked at my answering machine and I noticed it was flashing. When I listened to the first message, it was my good friend, Quincy Jones. "Hey, Taylor. It's Quincy. I know you are busy right now probably still at the awards but I wanted to know that if you were busy next Saturday and if you wanted to come over for a big celebration with all the people I have worked with. I hope you can com. Call me and let me know if you can. Talk to you later, girl. Bye"
I thought to myself,"Wait. Everyone he has worked with? Hasn't he worked with Michael numerous times? That means Michael might be there." I hadn't seen Michael in almost ten years. I used to be in the Jackson 5 with him and his three brothers. When I was 14, my parents took me away because I was living with the Jacksons. I hadn't seen Michael in person since the day I left. "I hope he will be there. I miss him so much. I wonder how much he has changed? Will he remember me?" I was asking myself. I had so many questions involving him but they wouldn't be answered until I was to see him again.
The next morning after my sower and breakfast, I decided to call up Quicny and let him know I was coming and maybe even ask him about Michael. "Hello?" Quincy anwered the phone. "Hey Quincy. It's Taylor." "Hey! Wassup girl? Didn't think I would hear from you right away! Did you get my message?" "Yeah, I got your message. And as far as I know, I'm free. I have a question." I hesitated and regretted saying that last sentece. "Sure. What's up?" Quincy asked. "There's someone I was curious about. Do you know if Michael will be there? Michael Jackson?" I could feel my heart racing while I was waiting to hear that he was coming. "Oh yeah! Little Mike! I actually just got off the phone with him. He said he was going to be there. Why?" "Just curious. Haven't seen him since we were kids and I was hoping he would be there. Thanks Quincy. Talk to you later. I got to go." "Bye Taylor."
Oh my, God. I could feel my heart racing even faster than before now knowing that Michael will definately be there. What if he doesn't know who I am? What if he does? What am I going to say to him as our first time talking to each other other after eight years? After I had gotten myself worked up, I decided to call my sister, Alleana and ask her if she wanted to go with me to shop for a new outfit for the party.
"Hello?" Alleana answered. "Hey, Alleana. It's Taylor. Are you busy today? I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to the Hollywood Mall and help me find a new outfit for this party I'm going to next week." "Sure. I would love to come. When do you want to meet up?" I asked her if noon was okay and she agreed for that time.
2 hours Later at "Debs"
"I think that shirt and those jeans with those heels look perfect on you." Alleana said. "Really? You think so?" "I know so. You should wear that!" "Okay." As I was about to go back into the fitting room, I saw someone that looked very familiar. "Hey, I think I know that girl over there looking at the dresses." I said to Alleana. As I looked at the girl,she turned her head and I could finally see her face hiding in her black puffy hair. After I got a good look at her face, I could tell that my eyes were at the largest because that girl wasn't just any girl. The girl is Janet Jackson. Michael's sister. What was she doing here? "Alleana, that's Michael Jackson's sister, Janet." "Well who is that guy with her? Do you know him?" "I don't know I can't see his. . . Oh my, God." "What Taylor?" Alleana asked as I ran back into the dressing room. I loudly whispered behind the door,"That's Michael!"

She’s from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Pony rides for a dime
Little children laughing
I’m from a world
Of disappointments and confusions
But I want her to be mine
I started talking
She kept on walking
She disappeared into the crowd, oh, oh
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On the carousel (Ooo)
To a circus girl
Who ran away
Two different people
In love for an instant
To see that the circus came today
Sometimes I can hear her crying here
And I can hear her calling me
I lost my heart (Lost my heart)
On the carousel (Lost my girl)
To a circus girl
Who ran away, I lost
Lost my heart (I lost my girl)
On the carousel (Ooo)
To a circus girl (Oh lost, oh lost, I lost her, I lost my heart)
Lost my heart (I lost)

La Toya Jackson thinks a lot of Michael Jackson haters have had a change of heart since her brother died -- but it's unclear whether she's including Gene Simmons in that group.
You'll recall KISS got dropped from the upcoming MJ tribute concert in part because Gene has said he believes Michael was a child molester.
This weekend in Bev Hills we asked La Toya if she thought the concert should be off limits to artists who disrespected Michael. Her answer is all about forgiveness ... but are you buying it?

Sources directly connected to Dr. Conrad Murray tell TMZ ... the Doc will not accept any plea bargain from the L.A. County District Attorney in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case.
We're told Dr. Murray feels so strongly about his innocence, even a plea with no jail time would be out of the question.
Fact is ... Dr. Murray shouldn't hold his breath, because no plea bargain has been offered and sources tell us the D.A. will not offer one.
As for Murray's defense ... we're told the centerpiece revolves around the fact that only two people were in the room around the time MJ died, and Murray insists he did not administer the fatal dose of Propofol.
The operating theory of Murray's lawyers -- when the Doc left to go to the bathroom, a frustrated MJ woke up and administered the fatal dose himself in a desperate attempt to get some sleep.

Michael my heart,
last night I dream of you,
you were embracing me from my back.
I heard your heartbeat and it beats so fast,
like our promise that our love will never end.
We had so much fun together,
that I wished to go on forever.
Talks and laugh ,kissing and cuddling,
like no other people existing.
Holding each others hands while we walked,
all your attention was just for us.
I can't think of anything when you talked,
but I love you more and more, you see.
We stopped walking and you looked at me sweetly,
then you leaned over and kissed me.
My heart popped out and I saw butterflies,
you said you love me truly. oh sorry and then, I awake up and my dream was to end.
It was still a memory to reminisce, your kiss was so tender and sweet.
Love and miss you !! ♥

Michael Jackson's children definitely have the bug -- the one that makes you give away large sums of money -- because they just helped make a $10,000 donation to one of MJ's favorite charities.
Earlier this week, Prince, Paris, and Blanket presented a check for $10K to the L.A. Housing Corporation -- a group that provides shelter for homeless families. Sources tell us Michael used to take his kids to volunteer with the group.
We're told the massive chunk o' change came from grandma Katherine Jackson's memorabilia biz.
MJ's heirs made the donation on behalf of his Heal the World Foundation. All three of them joined the group's Youth Board of Advisors last year.

The producer/director of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" tour is scoffing at Katherine Jackson's wrongful death suit in which he's named as a defendant, because he had nothing to do with the drugs or treatment that caused the singer's death.
Kenny Ortega just filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- asking the court to remove him as a defendant in Katherine's suit, claiming, "Kenneth Ortega is not alleged to be involved in the medical treatment or administration of drugs that allegedly caused Michael Jackson's death."
Ortega's lawyer adds ... Kenny never had a contract with Dr. Conrad Murray or with Michael Jackson, nor has he had any official affiliation with AEG.
Ortega's lawyer says, "The naming of Kenneth Ortega as a defendant in this action, without any basis, without any substantive charging allegations against him, is a gross error."
