The men were interviewed exclusively Von ABC-TV Good Morning America's correspondent Ashley Banfield, who spent three days with them. Do the men have monetary ulterior motives? Well, GMA did not pay them a cent for the interview. The confidants do claim, however, that they plan on Schreiben a book together to dispel any myths oder nasty rumors about a man whom they grew to respect and love.
Here is a small inside peek in to MJ's world as they knew it:
* Even though Jackson was charged in 2005 with child molestation but was later acquitted, all three men adamantly state that Jackson was not a pedophile.
* Jackson was not gay! "Being a man...men know men...and we [were] around him long enough to know...he was a man," Whitfield said. Garcia said, Jackson had "desires of women like we do. He had lovers." The men claim that Jackson had at least two girlfriends. Whitfield said, "In the cars that we had, we had a curtain that covered the back seat...you couldn't see in the back seat. They talked back there...they didn't do nothing out of bounds...you can hear the kissing."
* A voracious reader? An understatement! Jackson loved Lesen history Bücher and the Wand straße Journal.
* Walmart is America's shopping place and Jackson longed to stroll down its isles.
* Jackson was an "awesome" dad, the guards all agreed emphatically. He loved spending time with his kids. Going to fast Essen drive-ins was what he loved doing with them. They would order Big Macs oder fried chicken. Jackson loved ordering the Essen himself and would get a kick at the thought, "If only they knew who was placing the order."
* The Jackson kids adored their father and would constantly tell him, "I Liebe you, Daddy." The body guards stated that the children were so very polite, well-mannered, and that they, in fact, were the easiest part of their job.
* Jackson would try to hide the negative tabloid headlines about himself from his children. "Sometimes he would see [the tabloids] and would make them turn around, so the kids wouldn't see them," Whitfield said.
* The entertainer's life was constantly full of stress, and he would on occasion freak out. Whitfield said, "He got so frustrated he threw my cell phone out the window, through the window and broke the glass. And he looked at me and said, "'Bill, you're going to need a new phone."'
* Prior to his death, it had been two years since Jackson had seen his family. According to Whitfield, "They didn't come around much, and when they did, they came unexpected. And we'd say, 'Mr. Jackson, one of your family members is at the gate [and] would like to see you,' and he'd ask, 'Do they have an appointment?'" If Jackson was "being creative" no family member was allowed on the premises.
* There was a family drug intervention for the performer back in 2007. Jackson agreed to only meet with his brothers, according to the bodyguards. But instead of allowing them in to the house, they sagte Jackson met his brothers outside in the security trailer. Beard and Whitfield said, Jackson seemed "fine" afterward and simply left the trailer and went back to the house.
* The bodyguards were asked if Jackson appeared to be on drugs. "He was intoxicated in some way, but I wouldn't say a problem, no," Garcia said. "Certainly there were times where he gave the appearance that he was probably high on something," Whitfield said. All three men sagte this would happen "once oder twice a month."
* Whitfield, who handled all of Jackson's e-mails and phone calls, claims that the singer was in serious astronomical debt. He primarily owed lawyers millions of dollars. Jackson had declined credit cards. Hotels would evict them. "We were asked to leave hotels, because the credit card on file was denied," Whitfield said.

Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Du smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If Du just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time Du must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If Du just...
Smile, though your herz is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Du smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If Du just smile...
That's the time Du must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If Du just smile
I care for Michael Jackson cause he made me believe that Du can do anything if Du set your mind to it he has made me happy rather its his smile oder Musik the song "Cry" i would always listen to when i felt down oder sad but i would look up and keep my head to the sky.

The world was in great depression,
the custody for your kids was in session.
There was too much buzz around,
all I wanted to hear your voice your sound.
I wish Du hadn't gone,
all Du had to do was sing one Mehr song.
I'm Schreiben this to you.
your death has made me blue.
Why did Du pass on June 25, 2009?
"This is it" last konzert then Du had to resign.
On my continuation my friend
told me Du had passed Du were dead.
God decided he needed you,
I respected the things Du used to do.
Your songs were good, great,
to me and the Musik world Du were a saint.
Jesus decided he wanted Du my friend,
Du and I know that your Musik is not at an end.
The world kept talking about him,
the planet and the sun now seemed a little less bright, dim.
Goodbye Du were a story, a light,
see Du later and when I see you, Du will be a sight.

TMZ has learned Michael Jackson's tomb has been defaced Von a stealth band of vandals -- who have marked the walls of MJ's mausoleum with hidden messages ... and it's all in permanent ink.
Security at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA is on the lookout for "fans" who have been Schreiben messages in hard-to-spot places outside the main window of the building in which MJ is entombed.
The Schreiben is mostly hidden underneath ledges -- oder in spots covered Von bushes -- and contains messages like, "Miss you" and "Keep the dream alive."
Reps at Forest Lawn are pretty ticked off -- telling TMZ, "Activity such as this, is a prime example why we are evaluating the level of access to the various entrances of the Great Mausoleum."
Forest Lawn also tells us that anyone caught vandalizing the cemetery will be banned for life.

Michael Jackson Fans making extravagant plans for the anniversary of his death need a Plan B -- because Forest Lawn Cemetery and cops are putting the kibosh on most of the celebration.
A rep for Forest Lawn -- where MJ is buried -- tells TMZ Fans will be allowed into the park on June 25, but not into the mausoleum itself. And the news ain't so good for these special requests:
- Releasing doves (DENIED)
- Releasing balloons (DENIED)
- Performing Jackson songs and dance routines (DENIED)
Sgt. Tom Lorenz says the Glendale PD has its own no-no list: no camping out the night before, no parking around Forest Lawn 24 hours prior, and no straße vendor sales of anything ... including MJ merchandise.
The Forest Lawn rep says Fans who behave will be allowed to pay their respects.

MZ has learned Dr. Conrad Murray will go about his normal business -- seeing patients -- on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
We're told Murray will not visit MJ's mausoleum Friday, because it will cause a scene. He will, we're told, pay his respects around that time, when no one is there.
Miranda Sevcik, the PR rep for Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, tells TMZ, "Dr. Murray will be mourning privately. He doesn't want to distract people Von reminding them of Michael's death. He'd rather people remember his friend, Michael Jackson, as he was in life

TMZ has learned Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson's three kids will not be in L.A. to commemorate the one-year anniversary of MJ's death.
Sources connected with the family tell TMZ the gang will be at Michael's birthplace -- Gary, Indiana -- where they will observe the day.
We're told Katherine is set on Gary because she feels it is a "family point of connection" -- and it's just too crazy in L.A.
Our sources say Katherine, Prince, Paris, and Blanket will keep things private with relatives and Friends in Gary.
