Jacko (and i address him as 'jacko' coz we were once good friends...) was such, and is such a sensational, off-beat character! could he be faking his death for some future publicity stunt he may be planning?

MMMmmm? Confused

Very sad. It is hard to get over.

And just when he was about to vindicate his life and career with 50 shows in London's O2 arena. Sad

R.I.P.

It makes me chuckle to see that this week the Michael Jackson discography is one of the most pirated pieces of music. Y'all love him so much you don't wanna spend a penny on his shiz.

Ya think it might have anything to do with the fact that stores are TOTALLY SOLD OUT of his stock?

I doubt the shows would have gone ahead. He was too ill to be able to pull off 50 shows. That would be tough for someone half his age not hooked on opiates.

It's sad how he became a caricature.

The video of his rehearsal just two days before he died showed him being quite energetic. People around him said he was focused and perfectionistic.

Not only that, but he was motivated. As he told his adviser Tohme, he wanted to perform for his own children because they had never seen him on stage.

I think he certainly would have begun the shows, but I agree that to finish 50 would have been quite a feat.

Well, here's something I didn't know about MJ......

.....he's not the biological father of those kids. He didn't even donate the sperm to that surrogate mother, Debbie Rowe. The sperm came from a sperm bank.

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=420144&gt1=28103

If he wanted kids, why not even use his own sperm?

Another matter.......did MJ ever actually sleep with a woman? Has any woman come out and said, "I've slept with Michael Jackson".

Ah.....after a bit of inter-webbing I found out that Lisa Marie Presley gave lurid accounts of their pretty active sex-life....

I saw some ot the memorial service and testimonials (on Larry King) and was impressed by how much he was respected on some basic spiritual level by people from every major religion - Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists - probably because he was seen as someone who really cared for the plight of suffering humanity (especially children) and had always gone out of his way to show respect to each tradition.

Several of his friends thought that he in fact was on some spiritual mission this life.

Brook Shields eulogized him by saying "Michael Jackson's laugh was the sweetest and purest of anyone I have ever known". http://www.examiner.com/x-264-Celebrity-News-Examiner~y2009m7d7-Brooke-Shields-Michael-Jacksons-laugh-was-the-sweetest-and-purest-of-anyone-I-have-ever-known

She also said that whenever he looked at anyone, he looked into their heart.

It turns out the show is going ahead after all!

Michael to sing from the grave

2009-07-09 22:10

London - Michael Jackson will perform from beyond the grave in London next month.

The late singer's This Is It show is being planned to take place at The O2 arena - where the Smooth Criminal singer had sold-out a 50-night residency - on August 29, the day of Michael's 51st birthday.

A life-like hologram of the King of Pop will be projected on stage and perform parts of his planned set to fans accompanied by the backing dancers he had been rehearsing with before his death last month.


It is also believed the pop star's children - Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket - will take to the stage for the grand finale with Michael's brothers and sisters, like they did at his Los Angeles memorial on Tuesday.

Britain's Got Talent singer Shaheen Jafargholi - who performed Who's Lovin' You? at the ceremony - has reportedly been approached about singing a Jackson 5 medley, taking on the vocals Michael performed as a youngster for the planned show.

AEG promoter Randy Philips - the man behind Michael's O2 residency - says it is important everyone gets to see what would have been an "amazing show".

Earlier this month, he said: "The world needs to see this production. It would have been - which is the tragedy here - one of the most amazing shows ever, so at some point we want the world to see that. The sooner the better."

Meanwhile, a popular Los Angeles tourist attraction will be renamed from Universal CityWalk to Universal Moonwalk on Thursday.

From 19:00 this evening, the entertainment centre will be transformed into a huge Michael Jackson tribute party, featuring outside screenings of movie The Wiz - which Michael starred in - and the music video for Thriller.
