MJ’s gay lover: I’ve lost my soulmate

A chubby guy, who claims to be Michael Jackson’s gay lover, has said that he has lost a soulmate, following the death of the pop legend.

Jason Pfeiffer, who works for the singer’s dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein, briefed how his alleged affair began.

Seemingly, he first got to know the Thriller hitmaker over the phone, after which, one night the icon asked him for a lift home, which led to further clandestine meetings.

"I guess our first `date` was in my car. We went for a drive and were talking and having fun, but Michael had his minders who were `nosey` as Michael put it,” the Sun quoted him as telling Aussie mag Woman`s Day.

He added: "We had to make sure we were not caught, and although the date was short as I had to take him home before anyone noticed, we had a great time.

"I thought nobody else knew, but have since discovered that others did surmise the truth."

However, the 35-year-old said that their love was cut short by Jackson’s sudden death on June 25 this year.

"I`ve lost my soulmate. It`s very hard to describe the loss I feel - but there is something that`s empty in my heart,” he said.

Jason also described how Michael was in person before his death.

He said: "He was overly religious, overly dramatic, exhausting and exhausted.He was saying goodbyes the week before passing. Everyone was creeped out by it.

"Michael got very retrospective in the last few weeks, he was talking about God and the Mayan calendar and the year 2012 - which is when the Mayan calendar ends."

Madonna makes Jesus cry

`Queen of Pop` Madonna may have announced that Brazilian model Jesus Luz is the love of her life, but the popstar made her young lover cry by refusing his gift.The `Like A Virgin` singer who recently celebrated her 51st birthday, made her 22-year-old boyfriend cry when she refused to wear jewellery he gifted her, reported Mirror online.

Luz gave the singer a set of South American good-luck bracelets, made of thin ribbons which are said to grant the wearer three wishes when they break.

The singer, who is currently on the `Sticky and Sweet` world tour, told Luz that she could not wear them because they would clash with her Kabbalah bracelets.

"Madonna said that although she loved the bracelets she wouldn`t wear them because they clashed with her Kabbalah bracelets. Jesus was crestfallen and he had words with her,

leading to tears," said a source close to the singer.

Later the same night, the singer praised her young lover in a speech at a party before running across the room to passionately kiss him.

As friends looked on, Madonna gushed, "He`s the love of my life. He has been so strong around me. I can`t thank him enough."
