26. I remember hearing about this on "VH1's 40 greatest celebrity feuds"
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 02:04 AM by FVZA_Colonel
Some might say that what he did was completely ethical in the business world (as I suppose anyone with the money could have bought the Beatles Catalogue, and it could be argued nothing more happened than his receiving a business tip), but in my opinion, he stabbed Paul McCartney in the back.

9. 'Kay, so, this friend of mine on another board has a HORRIFYING theory.
Edited on Sat Mar-11-06 02:39 AM by BlueIris
MJ will only retire after he has, erm, told his story, in all the graphic, disturbing detail Barbara Walters can stomach listening to.

Does anyone think that will happen--MJ finally agreeing to an interview, after being paid millions of dollars, and confessing "all"?

10. His "confession," if any, will be like the last time...
...The Gloved One looooooves children; they are soooo innocent and unspoiled; children don't have dirty minds like that bad man the DA; and what is more, he STILL shares his bed with kids and has the purest intentions in the universe.

Pardon me while I heave in my socks.

Michael Jackson is a pervert. He has gotten away with being a pervert his whole life by sprinkling fairy-dust in the eyes of those around him. The people who are not under his spell have an all-out battle attempting to get through to the people who are under his spell. And they keep losing.

So Jackson has no reason to change his ways or his way of thinking about what he does.

The real horror would be to see him on tv again playing the misunderstood innocent with Baba Wawa.

16. A classic example of nose mining disaster gone wild.
The Mountaintop Nosemining of MJ, looks worse than the shit that is going on here in West Bye Gawd Virginny! WTF is wrong with the pointy snozz? Did he snort too much drain-O or whut? The Mo-Fo has had a total nasal meltdown/China syndrom-e, the likes of which not a soul on the planet, has ever helt, felt, or let alone SMELT! He needs to stop and smell the roses but he's shit outta luck! He can't even wake up and smell the coffee, let alone enjoy and savor the pfruits his own rancid boiled egg and beer pfharts! The Mother Effer Is A Wreck!

Maybe he can buy him a herd, or a small gaggle of blow-up Vinyl Love Childs, to play dingle dangle dingle with, at his new digs(sand Box)wherever dat is abouts to be at. He had millions more than I could have ever dreampt of in the bank, but he blowed it and boy did he ever blo it! The Blow and the blo was too much of a blow to his bank account. The Noze Noze!

14. In a word.... no.
He's delusional, in my opinion. He probably honestly thinks he did nothing wrong, like children playing doctor. I don't think he realizes just how inappropriate and damaging his behavior is, and therefore will never come clean.

20. There's no info that Neverland is for sale.
Only that it has been shut down because Jackson hasn't paid his bills.

Reality check for Jackson as Neverland shuts
RICHARD LUSCOMBE

"NEVERLAND, the ranch fitted out by Michael Jackson to provide him with an escape from reality, has become the latest victim of the pop star's profligacy.

Californian state officials yesterday ordered its closure in a dispute over unpaid wages and insurance.

More than two-thirds of the 69 workers at the sprawling estate, which features a private zoo and a theme park, claim they have not been paid since December, six months after the singer was acquitted of charges of child molestation and moved to Bahrain.

Jackson also allowed an insurance policy covering his workers to lapse in January, prompting a $169,000 (£98,000) fine and a raid this week by officers of the state's department of labour, with a court order effectively locking out employees and halting all work at the ranch.

Jackson, who has not commented on the closure, has been given until next Tuesday to pay the fine and back wages of more than $306,000 (£177,500), or face legal action..."
