Recently appearing on CBS’s “The Talk”, LaToya Jackson revealed some disturbing details about her ex-husband and manager, Jack Gordon.

She openly recalled an incident where Gordon, who died in 2005, offered her to Mike Tyson for sex for the sum of $100,000.

“Mike Tyson later told my mother and father and some other friends that he Gordon had told him that if he wanted to sleep with me he has to pay $100,000” the 55 year old recalled.

She continued “I was 29 and one of those over the top religious people. I was mentally 16 because of not knowing the world and what people do, not everyone was honest and I believed everything they said. I was in brothels and everything. He put me (it was) everything I was against. He made me do Playboy twice and had me sit on the stage and say ‘Oh no, it was all my idea…And I had to do that because I knew what he said he would do, he would do it”.

LaToya’s book ‘Starting Over’ is available in stores to purchase.

Since the death of her brother Michael Jackson, his sister LaToya Jackson has never hidden the fact that she believes that her brother was murdered.

In an explosive interview with Pop Eater, LaToya does not hold back. “Michael always used to say, ‘La Toya I want to leave everything to my kids,’ and here they have absolutely nothing” she says.

Take a look at the excerpts from the interview with Pop Eater below:

You think Michael was murdered.
Yes, I do. I believe that from the bottom of my heart. The people that he told me were going to murder him are behind his murder. They know that. They know who they are. They’re controlling his estate now.

You believe it was over his publishing catalog.
That’s what he told me. Within a week of his death people he had eradicated from his life completely, came in lurking, asking questions about the catalog, speaking to the attorney who controls the catalog. My brother Michael was clean (when he died), he had no drugs in his system, he was leading a good life. He was unhappy with the way people were treating him. The coroner said there was nothing in him except for the propofol which was pumped in his body and it was enough to kill an elephant.

Dr. Murray was simply the fall guy, there were people behind it. It was a conspiracy and they know that. I want to have a one-on-one with Dr. Murray. I would love to sit down and talk with him.

You say the English tour was fishy.
First of all he told me he never would do a tour again because he said they would assassinate him if he was on stage. He finally agreed to ten shows which he didn’t want to do but he agreed and he wakes up overnight and there’s 50 shows and they told him he had to do them. They knew he wasn’t capable of them, they knew he wasn’t healthy enough. He had a kidney problem, he was extremely thin, he was always freezing. They knew what they were doing. This isn’t what I’m thinking, these are facts.

How does your family feel about you saying this?
When you lose a loved one, everybody is so hurt and there were some that said, ‘Oh he’s dead, let it be and move on,’ but no, I need to find out what happened. My mother and father have always been for me and on my side and telling me they’re so proud of me, to keep fighting. I love that, it gives me the tenacity to keep fighting and for his children. Michael always used to say, ‘La Toya I want to leave everything to my kids,’ and here they have absolutely nothing.

How are his children doing?
They’re doing very well thank you. I’m very proud of them. It was my mother’s decision to unmask them. She felt like she wanted them to be normal. However I understand why Michael did it. He wanted his kids to have the freedom to go out and not be recognized when they weren’t with him.

You can read her full story in her new book, “Starting Over,” which chronicles her reunion with her family and most specifically, Michael.

Ellen DeGeneres has a way with the stars when it comes to getting things out of them, and this time around with LaToya Jackson was no different.

The “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant appeared on the show on Wednesday (Mar 30) and started off discussing what happened when she learned of Michael’s death, before leading into a discussion about her stint on Donald Trump’s hit TV show and dealing with cast mate Star Jones.

“I almost crashed the car,” La Toya said, explaining what she did when she found out her brother was dead. “I started crying and my head went to the steering wheel. I started begging people on the street to drive me because my legs got so weak. I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “My heart just fell to the ground.”

Ellen managed to keep their conversation light by diverting Jackson’s attention to her “Celebrity Apprentice” co-star, Star Jones and even managed to get sweet-hearted LaToya to call her mean. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

“[Celebrity Apprentice contestant] NeNe [Leakes] was here not too long ago and she doesn’t care for Star [Jones] too much,” Ellen told La Toya. “Are you having a hard time with Star as well?”

“I think everybody has a hard time with Star,” La Toya said. “I really do.”

“She’s a tough one, right?” Ellen asked. “Is it tough or is it mean?”

“Okay, I don’t want to say anything really bad,” La Toya said. “Okay, just say something sort of bad,” Ellen countered. “Okay, she’s mean … because I always say, if I had lost that much weight I would have been so happy and pleased with myself,” LaToya eventually admitted to Ellen. “It’s something inside that’s hurting her to react that way to everyone … just put a smile on your face sometimes!”

Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of murdering Michael Jackson, was arraigned in court Monday (Feb 8) after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the King of Pop’s death last summer.

The criminal complaint says that Dr. Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson … in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection.”

His bail was set at $75,000, which is three times greater than what people thought it would be. Though he wasn’t handcuffed, police took Michael Jackson’s former doctor into custody for booking. In addition, Murray must surrender his passport, which means he will not be allowed to leave the country. And if convicted, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 4 years.

The Jackson Family – Joe, Katherine, LaToya, Jermaine, Tito and Randy – were there, and as they made their way to their vehicles following the hearing, they candidly spoke to reporters.

After the proceedings, Mr. Jackson’s father, Joseph, who attended along with other members of the Jackson family, was asked his reaction to the charge. “We need justice,” he said..

NY TIMES

“He’s a monster,” said the pop singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, after a hearing for Dr. Conrad Murray. “This charge is a slap on the wrist,” said Brian Oxman, longtime lawyer for Jackson’s father Joseph. “There’s great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should’ve been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life.”

“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan,” said Jackson’s sister, LaToya. “There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served.”

Aint this some mess? LaToya Jackson aka “The Attention Whore” thinks she has what it takes to replace the amusing Simon Cowell on American Idol! The most annoying member of The Jackson family publicly expressed her interest in becoming a judge on American Idol recently:

“I would LOVE to be a judge on ‘American Idol.’ I would love to have a chance for the public get to know the real me. I would be thrilled”

British pop star Leona Lewis already has a reputation for being a good girl, but now she says she’s not only a good girl … she’s a “good diva.” And she’s not going around spending unnecessary money unlike her celebrity counterparts.

“The term ‘diva’ has such a negative connotation, but I see myself as a kind of good diva. I’m a next-door diva,” she said in the latest issue of Petra magazine.

Leona says she doesn’t make crazy demands and insists that she’s very frugal, unlike most pop stars in the industry. And her biggest purchases so far have been her house and her two cost-efficient environmentally friendly whips.

“The biggest things I’ve bought are a house and my two cars. One of the cars is a Mini Cooper. But in Los Angeles I always drive a Hybrid Toyota Prius which is very environmentally friendly.”

Here are a few pics of the “good diva” with Adam Lambert, Monique Coleman, Angela Simmons, LL Cool J, LaToya Jackson and more on the red carpet of the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Event.

LaToya Jackson says her nieces and nephews are taking their father Michael Jackson‘s death pretty hard; so hard that the three of them are going through therapy to cope with their loss. She even mentioned how heartbroken Paris is because she’ll never be able to see her daddy perform live in person.

“Paris thinks and talks about her father all the time. She’s doing very well, writes a lot and she wears his shirts every day. They still smell of him and it helps her feel close to him. Her bedroom is covered in posters of Michael and she watches tapes of him all the time. After he passed, the kids went up to the house to get whatever they wanted. Paris took anything with a picture of her father on and brought it back to her new room at my mother’s house. She was so upset that she would never see her father on stage. She said, ‘Now I’ll never get the chance to see Daddy perform live.’

“Prince just doesn’t want to speak about it. He won’t even watch the DVDs – he just walks right past the TV. It’s too soon, too touching. I do worry about him very much.

“And Blanket is just a very sad, shy little boy. He cries – he really does cry. It’s so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much. They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up.”

She also said she and her family will be keeping up with Michael’s tradition in celebrating Christmas, despite his mother Katherine Jackson’s objection to celebrating the holiday due to her Jehova’s Witness religion.

“We grew up Jehovah’s Witnesses and so didn’t celebrate Christmas. But I think it’s very important that Michael’s children celebrate it because that’s what he did with them. I want them to continue to have that. I’ve spoken to my mother about Christmas and she said she will be celebrating.”

Singer Kelly Rowland and French DJ David Guetta attended and performed at the 2009 MOBO Awards Wednesday (Sep 30) in Glasgow, Scotland. Other celebs on the red carpet of the show were Keri Hilson, Alexandra Burke, Jermaine Jackson and more.

In related news, Kelly is demanding an apology from the MOBO Awards after her and David’s performance of “When Love Takes Over” was briefly disrupted due to some technical difficulties with the sound.

Just seconds into a rendition of her current duet with David Guetta, “When Love Takes Over,” at the awards honoring Music of Black Origin, Rowland encountered some technical difficulties with her sound and did what any seasoned pro would do: She stopped singing and stood there looking confused. Granted, her gormless expression lasted just a few seconds—during which time her background dancers can be seen furiously motioning offstage—before resuming the tune, but the same can’t be said for her anger.

“OK. So, I’m at the MoBo’s and getting ready to have a GREAT show with David and the MoBo’s F’d my sound up!!!!! PISSED!!!!!” she wrote in the first of many tweets on the topic. The frustration—and, if you can believe it, punctuation—only grew from there. “HONESTLY, that just makes me work harder! But, what I will say is the MoBo’s owe me an apology!!!! I was LIVID after the show!” And, it seems, rather communicative. “I wanted you guys to be the 1st to hear it from me! reheasrsals. were fine. soundcheck. was fine. performance, wad a struggle at 1st. But, I got through it!!!!!!!! So—It happens! The next show will be Better!—TRUST!!!!!!!!!”

Nearly three months after his surprising death, Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest Thursday evening (Sep 3) in an intimate ceremony only attended by close family and friends at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, located in the Glendale district of Los Angeles. According to reports, guests were told the ceremony would start promptly at 7 P.M. (sunset) but the Jackson family left them waiting for about an hour until they showed up a little after 8 P.M. (PT).

Jackson’s brothers, Randy, Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine, wheeled his gold casket to the front of the service once they arrived, and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael Jr., placed a gold crown on top of the flowers adorning it. They also wrote letters to their father that were placed inside of his casket, alongside one of his signature white gloves.

Celebrities among the attending guests were, of course, the Jackson family, Chris Tucker, Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Macaulay Culkin, Rev. Al Sharpton, MJ’s ex wife Lisa Marie Presley and Gladys Knight, who sang a gospel song after a prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith. Clifton Davis also performed “Never Can Say Goodbye,” the popular song he wrote for the Jackson 5. After the ceremony was over, MJ’s brothers carried his casket to the Grand Mausoleum, where Michael Jackson entered his final resting place.

After the service, the family ate dinner at an Italian restaurant in Pasadena, CA.

Michael Jackson’s older sister, LaToya Jackson, is set to guest co-host on an upcoming episode of ABC’s round-table discussion show, “The View.” She will sit on the panel on Sept. 16th and 18th in place of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who’s currently on maternity leave.

If you’ve been keeping up with the latest news on Michael Jackson‘s death, you will know that his sister LaToya has made it clear that she thinks Michael was murdered. CNN’s Larry King spoke to the UK’s Daily Mail correspondent Caroline Graham about the interview that she conducted in which LaToya makes her claims. You do not want to miss this interview:

LaToya may not be the brightest Jackson of the bunch, but her claims don’t seem far fetched at all. Reports have stated that Michael was in good health and many cannot understand how he suddenly passed away. Even the video of his final rehearsal shows a healthy Jackson doing what he does best. There is definitely something fishy about his death. When you are as big as the King of Pop, expect people to try and take advantage of you.

Meanwhile, LaToya has released a new single as a tribute to her late brother. The single titled “Home” will be released to iTunes on July 28th and all proceeds will go to one of Michael’s favorite charities.
