Michael Jackson - RIP

[gerbick]

Doesn't surprise me at all. I've read some of the most rank, foul, nasty stuff said online at the even the most popular websites.

People are on a new slant lately. Have a screen name, hide behind it and say whatever.

[Frets]

This is just getting stranger and stranger.

Really? I was pretty sure Michael himself defined the word strange. I guess when he transformed himself into a cross between Frosty the Snowman and Phyllis Diller, that was still 'normal.'

[gerbick]

It's gonna get worse. His strange was peculiar strange... like watching the Addams family... but in real life.

Now? The freakshow starts... for real.

[hanratty21]

I, for one, have yet to be shocked by any story to come out. Stranger? I think not.

Shocked? Naw... not at all. That it's all getting confirmed? Yeah... surprising but not shocking.

Strange? Oh, I'm expecting MJ Day or Cult of MJ next. I mean... it's gotta happen.

Give kids a good father, or else they will be freaks for his entire life

I don't think any purple kool-aid was involved but it has begun. Suicides.

Called it. August 29th is right around the corner... I expect it to peak around his birthday (above).

Again, no big loss from a 10,000 foot view. Any fool that feels the need to off themselves due to MJ's status is probably not worth a whole lot anyway.

Especially one that has been modeling himself after him since the age of 9. Yikes.

Again, I'm not saying it's a big loss. I could do with a few more people offing themselves... natural selection has been failing me lately.

I just know **** will get weirder before normal. And I just bought a big box of popcorn from Costco.

[WannaBe_80z]

I say get that popcorn ready and start poppin' it because this is where something weird will go down.

Public viewing of his body

At least he is already preserved. He can be just like Evita...

No, it won't.

Michael Jackson's family will not hold a public or private viewing of his body at the Neverland Ranch, a spokesman for the family said Wednesday.

I sincerely hope this one doesn't off herself...she's WAAAY too entertaining.

They're coming out of the woodwork, but this may be the craziest turn yet in the battle over Michael Jackson's estate.

On the same day the singer's 2002 will was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, there was a court filing by Nona Paris Lola Ankhesenamun Jackson, claiming to be the long-time wife of Michael Jackson and mother of his three children.

She says the two were married since 1970, a claim she has made before in 2006 and 2008. Each time, the court has thrown out her case.

But now, in a rambling, hand-written 90-page filing, Ms. Jackson is demanding that "all my husband's properties, monies and assets must be transferred to me immediately." She is also insisting that Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Michael Jackson, and Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson "must have legal and physical custody with me."

Ms. Jackson, who's birth name is reportedly Deborah Olufnmilola Oluwatoyosi Famoriyo, is asking that Michael Jackson's parents leave their Encino home which she refers to as "my property", and she wants them to no longer have any authority over disposing of Jackson's remains.

Instead, she wants him buried at Neverland, "Because I will keep up the maintenance, and work with the (sic) Colony Capital in the investments and living in the ranch."

She is also laying claim to the Jackson memorabilia which may still be in the custody of Julien's Auctions. "No auction of Michael Jackson's assets can be sold without my permission."

As "proof" that she's the parent of Michael Jackson's three children, Ms. Jackson claims that "I am originally of white skin color...This would be why my children look white, ghostly white."

She lists her mother as the daughter of Saudi King Fahd and her father as "Satan the devil", adding that Jackson "never had any sexual intercourse with Deborah Rowe, (Lisa Marie) Presley and anyone else except me. Having sex with just me makes Michael a virgin."

The filing is now public record, and it may only be the beginning of a long and strange saga, as the late pop star's finances threaten to become as big a story as his death.

Sources tell me that the $500 million figure mentioned in an attachment to Michael Jackson's will is more of a "pro forma", and that, in truth, the value of Jackson's estate is to be determined.

90 pages... hand ****ing written. Bravo.

****ing bravo. Wow.

Now this is the level of weird **** I was expecting.

[david petley]

....how about a Michael Jackson statue made of butter for the Iowa State Fair??

[david petley]

...outlived by 'Bubbles' ...now that is sad in some weird way.

Bubbles was not invited to the Funeral, He'll be staying down in Florida where he retired.

[gerbick]

Heh. A butter statue... I'm truly impressed.

And to think... it's only starting. Neverland will become the next Graceland.

[CristiSearching]

I should want to give him a really tribute in his style but I just have the words, much few for the greatest artist I have seen, we always enjoy Michael.
