Folks interested in the topic should check out the book co-written by MJ's bodyguards. Not only does it give the reader an intimate peek inside Michael Jackson's extremely private world, but also it's a fascinating look at the job of being a celebrity bodyguard and all that entails.
(If you don't want to read it, the Cliffs Notes version is that the bodyguards don't think he was a pedophile, that he seemed to be a really good dad and he was secretly dating maybe more than one model-hot adult woman.)
I think I remember that differently.
I'll have to grab Remember the Time again but I remembered Bill saying Michael wanted a new iPhone but his credit was so bad (MJ needed to make a $1200 down payment to get a line with AT&T) that he got one for Michael and even MJ's mom.
