GOLDEN LADY

La Toya, who has kept a low profile for several years, nevertheless made a spectacular appearance recently in Germany for a party organized by the Lambertz brand. She appeared like a queen adorned in gold! It's a shame she didn't sing a little bit of a song...

In any case, I think La Toya has had a very beautiful look since 2019 with her sleek blonde hair and "Old Hollywood" makeup, and of course, her doll-like figure. Here are some beautiful photos from recent years...

Our favorite singer was also very elegant and sophisticated for a sad recent event, the passing of Jackie's daughter-in-law, Toyia Jackson: Siggy's wife.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS: TlTO JACKSON

The Jackson family has lost one of its pillars. Tito Jackson recently passed away in a car accident, leaving behind a profound and sincere musical legacy. On this blog dedicated to La Toya Jackson, I wanted, even belatedly, to pay him a tender and respectful tribute.

A discreet pillar of the Jacksons
Within the legendary Jackson 5, Tito was the guitar-playing elder brother, the one whose groove underpinned the group's vibrant harmonies. From "I Want You Back" to "ABC," his precise and warm playing helped shape the siblings' legendary sound. Later, with The Jacksons, he continued to evolve the group's music, asserting a more mature and funky identity. He was an authentic musician, passionate about blues and soul, always true to his roots.

A sincere and luminous solo career
In recent years, Tito had found a new artistic freedom as a solo artist. His album Tito Time revealed a more personal facet of his world, blending soul, pop, and blues influences. More recently, he offered the public Under Your Spell, an elegant and modern project, driven by collaborations and his ever-present energy.

His solo tracks exuded maturity, the joy of playing, and a love for his audience. They also showcased that musical smile that so defined him.


The Close Relationship with La Toya
In the early 1980s, Tito also shared an artistic chapter with La Toya. At a time when each was exploring their own path, their collaboration demonstrated family solidarity and mutual artistic respect. Behind the scenes, there was a caring brother, a demanding yet supportive musician, sincerely backing his sister's projects.

Collaborations on My Special Love
On the 1981 album My Special Love, several tracks showcase the Jackson brothers' involvement in songwriting and production, and Tito appears in the songwriting credits:

"Love Song" – co-written by Tito Jackson, with Jonathan Moffett and Mike McKinney.

"Special Love" – co-written by Tito Jackson alongside Randy Jackson, Jackie Jackson, and Marlon Jackson.

These two tracks are among the original tracks on My Special Love, demonstrating Tito's participation in the album's musical creation.

Today, we remember him as a humble, talented artist deeply devoted to his family. Tito Jackson left an indelible mark on music history—not only as a member of the Jacksons, but as an artist in his own right.

Thank you, Tito, for the music, the groove, and the sweetness. 🎶

WORLD' EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW


LaToya finally did her big world exclusive interview after Michael's passing.
It was yesterday on ABC for 20/20 with Barbara Walters. In a very classy way, LaToya (absolutly chic & gorgeous) speaks with her heart about Michael, his children, the future...

I haven't seen the whole interview (as I'm not american) but pieces where she says Michael tought he would be muredered. About how Paris loves her father...

I think it has a great audience caus' youtube was full of extracts of the interview only one hour after, on the other hand I'm not sure Toy is gonna be very popular by talking details of Michael's death, even if she did'nt get paid for the interview.

interview:
“I’ve been approached to do ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” Jackson told Access Hollywood’s Tony Potts exclusively on Thursday. “The fact of the matter is, I won’t be doing it, simply because of the circumstances that (are) going on at the moment.”

“I can’t see myself putting myself into there right now, dancing every single day when I’m still trying to find out what exactly happened to my brother,” Jackson said. “That’s the most important thing for me at this very moment.”

“I love that show,” La Toya Jackson explained. “It’s not only one of my favorite shows, it’s my mother’s as well. They had on television that I was doing it, and she goes, ‘Oh honey! Is that going to be you?’ I go, ‘Mother, that’s just a rumor.’ She just perked up! We watch it together.”

“I would love to do ‘American Idol,’” Jackson said. “I would love to be a judge on that show. I think I would do well with (Simon).”

“It means a lot to be down here to be able to provide something, to help the people that really need this the most. It’s one of the causes that my brother supported, so I’m very, very happy to be a part of this and to continue that for him,” she said. “I feel like I’m fulfilling his wishes.”

“It’s very heartbreaking. It really is,” she said. “We’re doing well. It’s very difficult for everybody.”

Ja-Tail/Bungalo/Universal Releases La Toya Jackson Single Home on iTunes Today With Proceeds Going to AIDS Project LA


Home is La Toya's Tribute to Michael Jackson and the Jackson Family

LOS ANGELES, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Home, a song co-written and co-produced by La Toya Jackson and Jeffre Phillips and sung by La Toya Jackson, was written with affection about her childhood memories and based on the premise that no matter where you are or what you are going through in your life, you can always go Home. The label had been planning on releasing another single from the album on this date, but with the passing of La Toya's brother, Michael, the label approached La Toya and Ja-Tail Records about releasing Home instead. La Toya decided if the song was to be released it would be with all the proceeds going to Michael's philanthropic causes.

Michael personally supported and donated to APLA, and it was a charity that he believed in. Therefore, Bungalo/Universal partnered with them by offering all of the download's proceeds to be donations to APLA.

Bungalo President Paul Ring comments on the release, "We felt that to move forward releasing La Toya's album as planned without recognizing Michael's tragic passing was inappropriate. After consulting with La Toya, we decided that both Bungalo and Ja-Tail Records would not earn any profit, but rather donate all of our time, energy, and proceeds to one of MJ's favorite charities, APLA. We feel that the song and La Toya are amazing and to be able to raise awareness and funds for this organization is exactly what Michael would have approved of!"

LA TOYA DEFEND LA MEMOIRE DE SON FRERE


Ce qui devait arriver a finalement eu lieu, mais ce n'est que 2 semaines apres la mort de son frère, Michael Jackson, que La Toya a fait ses première déclaration à la presse.
Entre temps une tres émouvante et digne ceremonie publique a été rendu à Michael au Staples center de Los Angeles.

Une cérémonie funèbre qui a probablement été vue par des millions de personnes, comme moi, un hommage respectueux et autour de la musique, la fibre qui a toujours fait vibrer Michael et toute la famille Jackson: un langage universel.

Je retiendrai le tres émouvant et chaleureux hommage de Brooke Shielde à Michael, les tres belles chansons de Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie... et bien sur le magnifique "smile" chanté par Jermaine Jackson avec beaucoup de sensibilité, c'etait la chanson preferée de Michael.

Enfin la famille par l'intermediaire de Marlon (qui nous a evoqué le frère jumeau mort-né de Michael, un temoignage tres triste), Jermaine et Paris, sa fille, se sont receuillis et c'etait vraiment touchant de voir cette famille unie malgré la douleur, ils etaient là et dignes: Jakie, La Toya, Janet, Tito, Rebbie, Randy: une famille comme tant d'autres finalement, une famille Black & White.

Mais revenons à la déclaration de La Toya, alors que de son côté son père Joe Jackson c'est repandu en interventions médiatiques pas du meilleur goût dès le deuxieme jours apres la mort du chanteur.
Il est intervenu dans une ceremonie où il semblait plus en promotion qu'en deuil, et Joe Jackson a recemment déclaré qu'il pensait que les enfants de Michael pourraient devenir des entertainers et qu'il gardaient un oeil sur eux, ce qui fait plutot froid dans le dos.
Heuresement Janet au même moment avait fait une declaration simple et courte pour honorer la mémoire de son frère (dans cette ceremonie les Bet Awards), une declaration que l'on retrouve sur son site internet (qui est actuellement fermé), elle rappelle que si pour le monde Michael est une icône, pour elle c'est evidemment la famille!
De la même façon La Toya propose egalement une commemoration à la mémoire de son frère sur son site officiel.

La Toya a donc choisie un journal anglais (Dailymail) pour sa première interview , une interview où elle defend farouchement son frère mais explique ses suspitions face à sa mort. La nouvelle est deja reprise dans le monde entier. A mon sens ce type de déclaration est risquée, mais il semble que La Toya soit effectivement le moteur de la famille pour etablir la verité sur cette mort prematurée.
La Toya declare que son frère Michael aurait été tué par une conspiration de plusieurs personnes.

D'ailleurs la famille a choisie La Toya pour signer le certificat de déces de Michael comme l'ateste une copie deja publiée aux USA.

La Toya explique qu'elle etait mécontente que le staff de Michael l'eloigne volontairement de sa famille, que c'etait bizarre. D'autre part elle est persuadé que Michael ne voulait pas faire 50 concert à Londres mais seulement 10, ce qui semble credible car comme elle le dit Michael etait fragile et pour n'importe quel artiste 50 concerts d'affilé c'est tres eprouvant. Elle se demande si pour les managers et le staff de Michael, il n'est pas plus rentable mort que vivant.
Néanmoins La Toya rappelle comme Lisa-Marie Presley que Michael confiait avoir le pressentiment de mourir dans la cinquantaine. Ainsi cela ferait des années que Michael avait ce funeste pressentiment, mais La Toya dit qu'elle avait fait part de ses inquietudes à sa famille face aux concerts prévues.
Ensuite elle explique comment elle a accompagnée les enfants de Michael: Paris, Prince Michael et Blankett dans cette difficile épreuve et qu'il ont tenu a voir leur père une denrière fois le jour de sa mort et qu'il avait l'air paisible, la Toya dement toutes les rumeurs quui le decrivent dans un etat lamentable, neanmoins elle a remarqué des traces de piqures sur son cou.
Quoi qu'il en soit la famille a l'air tres unis pour acceuillir les enfants de Michael au sein de la famille et les préserver. Maintenant la famille attend les resultat de la deuxieme autopsie et ne fera pas de declaration à ce sujet avant que tout soit eclaircie.

Le destin de La Toya semble toujours interrompue par des evenements exterieurs, ainsi si auparavant (il y a 15ans) son ancien manager l'a obligé a faire des declarations sur Michael qu'elle ne souhaitait pas faire, aujourd'hui la mort de son frère la censure d'un film "Bruno" dans lequel elle apparaissait. Néanmoins c'est plutot une bonne chose car La Toya avait été piegé dans ce film d'assez mauvais goût.
Par contre La Toya preparait son retour en musique avec un nouveau single et cela risque d'être compromis vu les circonstances.

Voila ce que l'on peut dire aujourd'hui.


What had to happen finally happened, but it is 2 weeks after the death of her brother, Michael Jackson, that La Toya made her first statement to the press.
Meanwhile a very moving and dignified public ceremony was made to Michael at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

A funeral ceremony which has probably been seen by millions of people, like me, a respectful tribute around the music, the link that has always thrilled Michael and the Jackson family: a universal language.

I remember the very warm and moving tribute to Michael from Brooke Shields, the beautiful songs of Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie ... and of course the wonderful "smile" by Jermaine Jackson sang with great sensitivity, it was the favorite song of Michael.

Finally the family through Marlon (who referred to the dead twin brother of Michael, a sad testimony), Jermaine and Paris, his daughter, were mourning and it was really touching to see this family together despite the pain: Jakie, La Toya, Janet, Tito, Rebbi, Randy: a family like many others, a family Black & White.

But back to the statement of La Toya, while in turn her father Joe Jackson is widespread media interventions not in the best taste from the second day after the death of the singer.
He intervened in a ceremony where he seemed more discounted than mourning, and Joe Jackson recently said he thought that children could become Michael entertainers and kept an eye on them, which is rather frightening.

Janet hopefully ,at the same time, had made a simple and short statement to honor the memory of her brother (in the BET Awards), a statement found on her website (currently closed), it points out that if to the world Michael is an icon, it is obviously for her the family!

In the same way La Toya also offers a commemoration in memory of her brother on her official website.


La Toya has therefore chosen an English newspaper (Dailymail) for her first interview, an interview where she fiercely defend her brother but says her suspitions face his death.The news is already spread in the world. . I think this kind of statement is risky, but it seems that La Toya is actually driving the family to establish the truth about this death.
La Toya said her brother Michael was killed by a conspiracy of several people.

Moreover, the family has chosen La Toya to sign the death certificate of Michael (as a copy Atest already published in the USA).

La Toya said she was upset that the staff of Michael deliberately distancing his family, that it was weird. On the other hand she is convinced that Michael did not want to do 50 concerts in London but only 10, which seems credible because for any artist 50 concerts in a row is very stressful . She wondered if to the managers and the staff of Michael, he is more profitable dead than alive?!

However La Toya (like Lisa-Marie Presley) confided that Michael have the feeling of dying in his fifties. Thus it would for years that Michael had the deadly premonition, but La Toya said she had expressed concern to his family deal with concerts scheduled.
Then she explained how she accompanied the children of Michael: Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket in this difficult moment and that they had to see their father for a last time on the day of his death and he looked peaceful, La Toya says: "He had many needle marks on his neck and on his arms, and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks. But nothing has changed my mind that this was murder.”.
In any case the family has looked very united to welcome the children of Michael and preserve them. Now the family is awaiting the results of the second autopsy and will not report on this matter until everything is cleared up.

The fate of La Toya seems always interrupted by external events, so if the past (15yrs ago), her former manager has forced her to make statements about Michael she did not wish to make, today the death of her brother censorship of a film "Brüno" in which she appears. Nevertheless it is rather a good thing because La Toya had been trapped in this film quite tasteless.

But La Toya prepared her return to music with a new single "Love" and this is likely to be difficult under the circumstances.

Here is what we can say today.

GOODBYE M.J


Sincère condolèances à la famille Jackson qui subit de plein fouet la terrible nouvelle:

Communiqué officiel publié par le Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center:
Le Roi de la Pop, Michael Jackson, est décédé le jeudi 25 juin 2009 à 14h26 heure de Los Angeles. Il a probablement été victime d'un arrêt cardiaque à son domicile. Cependant, la cause du décès restera indéterminée tant que l'autopsie n'aura pas été effectuée.
Son médecin personnel, qui était avec lui, a tenté de ranimer Michael Jackson, tout comme les urgentistes qui l'ont transporté au Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center de Los Angeles. A son arrivée à l'hôpital, vers 13h14, une équipe de médecins, y compris une équipe d'urgence et des cardiologues, ont tenté de le ranimer pendant plus d'une heure, mais en vain. La famille de Michael Jackson demande aux médias de respecter son intimité pendant cette épreuve tragique.


Évidemment la presse relie les information depuis Los Angeles en non-stop et La Toya, Jermaine et Katherine Jackson sont déjà harcellés par les photographes. Esperont que toute la famille Jackson trouvera le respect de la part des medias qu'ils meritent en cette periode difficile.

Michael, qui preparait son grand retour, semblait immortel , pourtant il nous quitte brutalement comme Elvis & Marilyn car il est certain qu'il ne pouvait pas vieillir et qu'il n'aspirait qu'a plus de paix dans sa vie.

La Toya etait tres proche de Michael, elle a vecu avec lui à New York, travaillé avec lui sur des clips et des musiques, ses dernières années ils s'etaient revus plusieurs fois.

Aujourd'hui il reste 3 orphelins qui ont besoin du soutien de leur famille et du respect des médias. Le monde entier se souvient d'un grand artiste.

Triste journée.
