November 25, 2010 – More Chasen Murder Mystery
Ronni Chasen was murdered with five bullets through her chest, shoulder and back by a vehicle which pulled up to hers at a red light, as she was on her way home from the premiere of the film “Burlesque”. A film in which two actors from “This is It” were characters and which many including myself, believe had a connect to Michael Jackson.
I have been looking for something other than indirect connections because there are tons to be had in this industry. A friend of mine has been sending me links to help in my research and since someone has taken upon themselves to search for the names of people connected to me (found in my stats on this blog), I have chosen to just call her “Miss J”. Most of the links below are supplied by her.
"There are many other rumors, from an art deal gone wrong to jealousy over her successful Oscar campaigns." A different source even suggested it could have been a gang initiation, citing recent, unreported violent episodes in Beverly Hills.” Source
This article describes the “wild theories” surrounding possible motives for her murder, all of which make no sense when you take into consideration the anger involved in shooting someone in the chest five times and evidence of a planned hit.
“Experts have stated that Chasen's murder looks to be the work of professionals who were hired to kill the publicist, rather than a random act of violence . . . One local resident said they heard "motorcycles travelling around the area" at the time of the shooting, but Michael Sands, an officer who has spent decades working with the police and FBI, said, "Never before in my 40 years have I seen motorcycles pacing Whittier Drive". Source
These reports above have been covered over with reports that police have called it a “crime of passion” and that police thought that it was possibly an attempted robbery or car-jacking or even a gang initiation as mentioned in the article above.
The footage raises the question now about whose car the publicist was driving? And whether that person was a possible target?
Hoshino says the footage was given to detectives by TMZ who procured the videotape from a private investigator who was staking out the building in an unrelated case involving another person that lived in Chasen’s apartment complex.” Source
This article above states that there is a possibility that the car Ronni was as she was “surveilled” coming out of her parking garage for her apartment complex was not hers and that whoever owned that car was the possible target. However, it contradicts the evidence in the case that Ronni herself was targeted, the “anger” which was involved in the five close-range shots to her chest to make sure she died and the fact that the murder left her face untouched so that she would be recognizable.
Michael’s TII Connection with Ronni . . . Is there One?
“It would be a business-related situation or something that is personal, where she upset somebody or shrugged off a suitor, or a client who felt she did them wrong,” says Wittman, who spent 20 years with the FBI and specializes in art-related crimes. “It’s obviously a premeditated killing.” Source
Mark Furhman had also been quoted in this article on some very good points. “If it’s a failed robbery or carjacking, you don’t pump more bullets into someone, and you don’t leave the car,” says Fuhrman, now an author. “Five shots — they wanted her dead.”
Fuhrman dismisses speculation that the shooting was part of a gang-initiation ritual, a notion that has been bandied about since the publicist was killed.
“They aren’t that stupid,” he says. “That’s for movies. An initiation in a gang is a young gang member that wants to make his bones in the gang: He kills somebody in the gang so [senior gang members] don’t have to do it.”
No, they are not that stupid and neither are most Michael fans. Most know poor Ronni was a target, but why? What did she do?
There is no doubt they wanted her dead as this preliminary coroner’s report released.
“Whoever shot her might have been regulating the 9 mm handgun installed during slightest in partial with hollow-point ammunition, according to the inform cited by Fox 11.” Source
Hollow point bullets are designed to spread out once they penetrate their target. I know first hand the damage they can do, this is what was used to kill our show dogs when I was a child. In many states they are illegal. This is also another reason to believe the specifically stayed away from her face, wanting her recognizable but dead.
My friend “Miss J” searched and found what may very well be a more concrete connection between Chasen and Michael besides the two “TII” dancer/actors in “Burlesque” . . . Howard Weitzman.
Howard Weitzman has two sons, Jed and Armen Weitzman.
Armen Weitzman is a theatre Actor. Source

Jed Weitzman is talent manager, known in the industry. Jed had to have known Ronni Chasen. Jed also works on music for films. Source

Chasen – “In September 1989, Chasen left to form her own company, Ronni Chasen Associates. In 1992, she was hired by MGM, a stint that did not work out. A year later, she reopened her eponymous firm and kept a loyal yet not-so-hip client list: Irwin Winkler, Hans Zimmer, Richard Zanuck.” Jeff Bridges, Morgan Freeman, director Danny Boyle. (Matthew Boyle) “She still needed to get her other hip replaced, but she refused to slow down, having attended the "Burlesque" premiere to support her friend, songwriter Diane Warren.” Source
I have found no relation between Irwin Winkler and Henry Winkler, but I did learn that Irwin Winkler (a director/producer with the Rocky movies amongst others), has worked with both Jane Fonda and Elvis Presley with their movies. Both connected to Michael (Elvis through Michael’s ex-wife Lisa Marie). The closer connection to Ronnie however, is through Henry Winkler and Howard/Jed Weitzman.
“The Winklers provided a remarkably normal upbringing for their children—talent manager Jed Weitzman, 29, Stacey's son from a previous marriage (Howard Weitzman).” Source
“Her latest Oscar clients were Michael Douglas for his part in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and "Alice in Wonderland 3D."
Other celebrity clients included the late actress Natalie Wood, composer Hans Zimmer, and movie producers Dick Zanuck and Irwin Winkler. Chasen also worked as a publicist for worked as a publicist for high-profile films, including "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Lolita." Source

Interesting here. Alice in Wonderland
Down the Rabbit Hole....
“Principal photography was scheduled for May 2008, but did not begin until September and concluded in three months. Scenes set in the Victorian era were shot at Torpoint and Plymouth from September 1 to October 14. Two hundred and fifty local extras were chosen in early August. Locations included Antony House in Torpoint, Charlestown, Cornwall and the Barbican, however, no footage from the Barbican was used. Motion capture filming began in early October at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, though the footage was later discarded. Filming also took place at Culver Studios.” Source
Also on this same source an interesting and familiar marketing technique? (for Sony):
“The leaked version [of the trailer] was originally to be shown to one of the three Facebook groups used to promote the film that had the most members. The groups used to promote the film are "The Loyal Subjects of the Red Queen", "The Loyal Subjects of the White Queen" and "The Disloyal Subjects of the Mad Hatter"
Michael Jackson Timeline – October 2008
“Michael's spokesperson, Dr. Tohme, in response to recent rumors regarding Michael's participation in a Jackson 5 reunion, has issued the following statement from Michael Jackson:"My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them. I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon." SOURCE: Scoop MarketingScoop MarketingLarry Solters, 213-639-6160
And also this:
“The touring deal with concert promoter AEG Live was arranged by a Colony Capital associate Dr Tohme Tohme who has been Michael's manager and president of MJJ Productions for a year.As part of the deal, AEG's corporate parent, Anschutz Corp., agreed to invest in a pet project of Mr. Jackson's, a 3-D feature film based on his song and music video "Thriller."

“In Culver Studios in Culver City, Michael shoots The Dome Project which consists seven works…” - This happened June 1 – 11 of 2009.
Remember this?
“The 3D footage Michael Jackson intended to be shown in his “This is It” stage show before he died is finally being made available to consumers in an enhanced Blu-ray Disc of the documentary of the same name.
Buried among the many announcements today by Sony Electronics at the IFA conference in Berlin was the news that Sony Pictures Entertainment will be bundling “Michael Jackson’s This Is It – 3D Enhanced Edition” with the purchase of a 3D electronics products." I posted about back in October.

Yes, the same “Alice in Wonderland 3D” that Ronni Chasen worked on.
This post in my searches I just ran across. Get your barf bags because you are going to need them. A good valium may also be in order when you see this. I was searching for the Sony “This is It” 3D that was supposed to be boxed with “Alice in Wonderland” 3D for Sony's "3D home system" they are trying to market for Christmas, which I eventually found here.
However, when searching online (instead of my blog) for this info, I came across this April 2010 post by whoever secret crustacean is working on additions to “This is It”. You are going to love this. If believe for one minute that Sony didn’t recreate Michael’s voice on that crummy CD that is coming out, get a load of the macabre tricks they are now using to get you to buy “This is It” – round 2! Source
I am asking, very politely, for some pain killer from someone. This is beyond sick. This is evil. Sony is now into necro-entertainment?!! I can’t even tell you how ANGRY I am! This by the way, is to superimpose Michael’s computerized face over another dancer’s. (Like they super-imposed another VOICE over Michael’s in “Breaking News”). God, give me strength, PLEASE!!!
Tricky Videography Illusion – Layers Sam into a Telethon she did not photograph
Not only does SONY think fans are going to fall for a FAKE Michael voice on a cheaply produced album, they have the ARROGANCE to believe that you will also shell out for a FAKE MICHAEL FACE!
Sony’s Frankenstein, 3D
Is THIS what you want your hard earned dollars to finance? Criminal Theft?
I will leave you all to chew on that for a while (Thank you Miss J . . . you know who you are!) while I am going to TRY to swallow some dinner . . . it won’t be easy.
Michael . . . wherever you are, stay there. Don’t let them get to you with this garbage.
Fans . . . DON’T BUY IT! You are paying for Michael’s suffering if you do!
