New Recordings & Book Reveals MJ's Heartbreak With Lisa Marie

No one in Michael Jackson's life, it seems, is exempt from attempting to garner a little attention through their association with him.

Now, even his spiritual leaders are cashing in. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach looked after MJ's spiritual guidance for about two years, before they had a falling out. We're guessing that MJ felt he couldn't trust the guy.

Rightfully so!

The Rabbi has come forward with recorded conversations between himself and Michael (he claims he got permission to do so) and some revelations have come to light because of them, including Michael's struggle with his former wife, Lisa Marie Presley.

During their time together, Michael very adamantly wanted to children, but to his dismay, Lisa did not.

During one of his talks with the Rabbi, he revealed:

"I wanted children and she didn't…She promised me before we married that the first thing we would do was have children. I was brokenhearted…I walked around all the time holding these little baby dolls, and I'd be crying. That's how badly I wanted it, you know … I was determined to have children."

Then, another explosive revelation comes to light through their taped conversations as Michael admits that Lisa desperately tried to reconcile with him, again promising to give him children, if that was what it took.

MJ was quoted from the tapes saying:

"After we got divorced, she would hang out with my mother all the time. I have all these letters she sent: 'I'll give you nine children. I'll do whatever you want.' And, of course, the press doesn't know of these stories. And she just tried for months and months, and I became too hardhearted at that point. I had closed my mind on the whole situation."

Of course, if you want to know what other wildly personal information Michael divulged to his spiritual leader, you can pick up the Rabbi's new book, The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation. No doubt it was his plan all along to write this book from these tapes as soon as it proved the most profitable.

Moral boundaries seem to become ambiguous when money is on the line, huh Rabbi?
