POP diva Janet Jackson will return to Oz today to resume the tour she had to postpone due to the escalation of the US trial over brother Michael’s death.

The Get Together hit maker pulled out of three Melbourne shows last week to be by her family’s side at the dramatic LA trial of Conrad Murray, who is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter over the drug-related death of the star.

Confidential has learned Jackson will fly into the Gold Coast this morning to prepare for her show tomorrow night although she too has been affected by the stoppage of all Qantas flights worldwide and is returning on a Virgin Blue flight.

Music industry insiders were worried she would not see out her concert commitments as the trial of Dr Murray nears its controversial conclusion.

While the prosecution used strong witnesses to try to prove Murray’s liability in administering a fatal dose of the sedative propofol, testimony yesterday alleged Jackson was responsible for his own death.

Janet, who rescheduled her three Melbourne shows into one arena concert on Thursday night, will appear at the Opera House on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday nights.

Family members of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, including Janet Jackson, confronted the judge today that will preside over the trial of Michael Jackson’s controversial former physician Dr. Conrad Murray.

Fans donning “Justice for Michael” T-shirts gathered outside the courtroom.

Many of Michael Jackson’s family members regard Dr. Murrray as the “murderer” of Michael Jackson.

The next preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 14th.

Over the weekend, claims surfaced that Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense team is allegedly preparing to argue in court that the late King of Pop was responsible for his untimely death.

Dr. Murray, Michael Jackson’s personal physician, may argue in trail that the recording superstar killed himself.

According to reports from TMZ, Murray’s defense team is prepared to argue that it was Michael Jackson who personally administered the fatal dose of propofol to himself, not Dr. Conrad Murray.

On June 25th 2009, Michael Jackson died as a result of a propofol overdose. And while Dr. Murray says he did, in fact, provide Jackson with an injection of the drug, it was Michael Jackson who took more – a decision that ultimately proved fatal for Michael Jackson.

The last time Janet saw Michael was on May 14, two days before her 43rd birthday. “We had so much fun that day,” she says, her soft voice almost inaudible. “We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was.” One of the most moving images from the memorial service was of Michael’s daughter, Paris, who stepped up to the microphone and said, “Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine” before grabbing her aunt Janet for support. “I was really proud,” Janet recalls. “People said to me that Michael’s daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father, in her words. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She’s a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They’re with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going.”

Michael Jackson’s sister Janet is reportedly going to speak about the death of the King of Pop in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Janet has said little to the press about the death and following investigation but The New York Post has revealed that she plans to give a revealing interview to the magazine.

A source said: “She is giving them the world exclusive and is going to be on the cover.”

It has been recently reported that Janet is planning to write a book about life in the Jackson family.

An insider told In Touch Weekly: “She is going to talk about Michael’s death and how it’s affected her and his children and the rest of the family.

“A lot of it will focus on her battle with self-esteem and weight. But that’s not always what she has seen when she looks in the mirror.”

The source added: “So the book will talk about how she has coped, and about her family relationships. She wants to help other young women out there.”

Janet’s publicity-shy sister Rebbie is believed to be upset over the planned book and reportedly sees it as a betrayal.
