Fomer Publicist To Write Tell All Book

Michael Jackson Forum

BOOK: MY TRAVELS WITH JACKO

MICHAEL Jackson's former publicist is set to publish a tell-all book that dishes the dirt on the accused King of Pedophiles' relationships with young boys.

Bob Jones, who was fired by Jackson last year after 30 years of service, teamed up with writer Stacy Brown for "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask" (Select), which should be hitting book stores by the end of the month.

Brown, a regular Jackson trial commentator for MSNBC, tells PAGE SIX the book will detail Jackson's relationships with several prepubescent playmates, including Macaulay and Kieran Culkin, Emmanuel Lewis, Jordan Chandler, Wade Robeson, Brett Barnes and Jimmy Safechuck.

"Bob confronted Michael a few times about his behavior with little boys," Brown said. "In no uncertain terms, Michael told Bob to mind his own business."

Jones accompanied Jackson on many globe-trotting trips with the youths, on which, Brown says, he observed Jackson engaging in bizarre behavior: "He saw him suck on baby bottles with Emmanuel Lewis and Kieran Culkin. He never saw him do it with Macaulay, though."

The book will also describe Jackson's penchant for playing sick when he doesn't want to fulfill a scheduled obligation. "One time, Michael checked into a hospital and said he had chest pains because he didn't want to perform at a concert," Brown said. "He would come up with these schemes with Bob to get out of commitments."

Both Brown and Jones have been subpoenaed to testify at Jackson's trial. Jones declined to comment on the book, referring all inquiries to his lawyer, Mel Sachs.

Jackson's former mouthpiece decided to write the book because he is desperate for cash, Brown admitted. "He was unceremoniously fired in June of last year, and he needed to make some money. He kept notes, and he's not bound by any confidentiality agreement."

Meanwhile, Jackson's current spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, was relatively tight-lipped on her predecessor's book: "Because they are both witnesses, I am under the gag order and I cannot address it. I guess we'll have to wait until the book comes out to comment on it."

That is odd. The only way he wouldn't be bound by a confidentiality agreement is if he were a) BSing or b) never worked for Jackson in the first place

Could be that Jackson just trusted the fella, or his company entered into the agreement, but he, personally, did not. Could be a few reasons I guess...

not BOB JONES....if you look at some older Thriller era and J5 pics you will see Bob in the "circle", it was him and Bill Bray that was with MJ 24/7 during the early years and during MJ's Bad tour.

And I saw the pics of MJ and Webster sucking the bottles, but I can't remember what mag it was in.......but it was very disturbing to see a 13 year old and a 20+ year old sucking on baby bottles in bed.
