and now al sharpton gives a press conference…
Also: what’s going to happen to his poor kids? I know the two older ones would probably go to their mom, Debbie, but wasn’t Blanket conceived by a surrogate who gave up her rights?
Geez…now the whores come out, huh?
CNN just played an excerpt from that interview where MJ said the most loving thing was to share your bed with a child (while holding a kid’s hand). I wasn’t ready to go back to the creepy place just yet.
Didn’t take long for Al Sharpton to find the cameras.
More like vultures, even MJ doesn’t deserve Sharpton.
Thanks for sharing that…I’m watching MTV now.
Reminds me of teh best tasteless ad of all time, for the release of that Beatles song some years ago, something like: “And they said a reunion would take 3 more bullets…” gak!
I think it’s safe to say that when someone has the two biggest selling records in all of history, a total of more than 750 million records sold, 13 #1 solo hits and 13 Grammy awards (not to mention countless others) it’s safe to say that a huge number of people like his music.
That his reputation fell apart near completely because of the allegations against him and his increasing eccentricity is unquestioned, and that’s caused people to reject their fandom of his music but taken on its own, the artistry still stands up. He was a quintessential musician and showman.
He’ll be missed by many, many people. My sympathies are with his family, especially his children.
Do not underestimate the crazy worldwide love people have for MJ.
I will never forget that during my time in London he was staying in a hotel a short ways away from my flat, and I had a terrible nights sleep because his fans would not SHUT THE HELL UP. Just screaming and screaming all night.
1-2-3…it’s easy as E-K-G
Somebody call 9-1-1, E-M-Ts
O-M-G, he’s D-O-A!
(I really do feel bad about Michael Jackson…I just can’t help my sick sense of humor!)
Not really – haven’t you seen how RABID his fans are? Don’t you remember them during the trial?
The Michael I knew from my childhood died a long time ago. I feel so bad for his kids, though. They’ve been so isolated for their entire lives…
Heh. If he was in a hypobaric chamber, maybe it did work. Sucked the life right out of him.
NOoooooooooooooooooo!
Some have said or speculated it was a heart attack. I know thin people can have heart attacks, but I’m not aware of any history in his family of heart problems. So if that is how they are listing it, I’m guessing it was probably brought on by some sort of mixture of prescription drugs. It seems to take a lot of celebrities.
Sure hasn’t been a good week for celebrities. I’m hoping I’m wrong, but Patrick Swayze probably isn’t too far behind.
My first girlfriend left me for Michael Jackson. Or rather due to her ( presumably ) unrequited love for Michael Jackson. We were in kindergarten mind you, so this was the cute Jackson 5 era MJ I’m talking about.
Here’s to you, Carmen - sorry about your old beau.
I just pulled up iTunes, and to my seriously great surprise, I have no MJ music. The best tribute I could do was to play Weird Al’s “Eat It.”
Sorry, Michael. I tried.
i’m figuring that guardianship will go to a sibling (i’m betting on tito). the mum debbie gave up rights to the oldest 2. not sure about blanket’s situation.
Looking at the crowds that are gathering around UCLA Medical Center on tv right now, I worry that MJ won’t be the only one to die. This could get messy.
