Court TV-Fox News Alert..Search Warrant executed at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

A search warrant has been executed at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.

It is being reported that this warrant has something to do with Jackson's relationships with children.

Details to follow.

[sarasota]

Michael will only commit suicide if all the children are eliminated from the world. Or so he said during a tv interview.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Not really. The cops need a place "to go", so they don't "mess up" crime scenes, perhaps?

[pepsionice]

My understanding of his 'real' worth...is that if this guy called in all his credits and debits....he'd barely have $3 million to his name. His whole empire is revolving around his potential to produce a huge 'next' seller which he simply has not done in at least 8 years. He has borrowed huge amounts to finance his lifestyle...and the Ranch is actually up for sale...with hopes of it going for at least $20 million. But I read realistically...it can't draw more than $12 million. Its his last real asset and he probably knows his time is running out.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Heheh - all you gotta say is that some young woman wants to party with him, and he'd start going on about "cooties" (of course, in her case, that may not be too far off the mark).

[Petronski]

Well, yeah, but it certainly is a sign that the police know in advance they will be on site for quite a long time, and in great numbers...as if they know they're going to find lots of stuff.

[Dianna]

I have always thought that there is no way Michael makes it to 50.

In every interview I've seen, he has seemed desperately unhappy. He's a sicko when it comes to children, but there is part of me that feels really bad for him. I'm not sure he ever had a chance to be normal.

[michigander]

Neverland Ranch is not just a home, it is a complex with a movie theatre, zoo, amusement park and building for video taping.

Yeah, that place seems to have everything except bathrooms.(?)

[Chantal]

They are going to find a new paris hilton type tape with MJ

I doubt it...more to do with young boys...the cops must have had another complain....let's hope there's no drugs involved.

[Chad Fairbanks]

True...

[Mo1]

Apparently there is something almost iron clad in place.

I hope so .. he is creepy

[GrandMoM]

BUMP

[NCC-1701]

Don't count on it. If you've heard Brad Paisley's "Celebrity", you just know that he's untouchable because he's a celbrity. Looks like that's why so much of the whorellywierd crowd love that lifestyle. They get as light of punishement as possible just because they are a celebrity. I'm sick of it.

[wildhillbilly]

Bump for later!

[dwd1]

Until there is an arrest warrant, should we not wait and see. This may just be a fishing expedition... I hope no children have been harmed but this is a strange case...

Obviously, most important is "Get his passport!"....

[null and void]

One can feel pity for a rabid dog, too...

Michael Jackson Sings For Bill Clinton In Harlem

Pop star among performers at Democratic Party fundraiser Wednesday.

by Shaheem Reid

The Democratic Party brought its Every Vote Counts voter registration efforts to the forefront Wednesday night in New York.

Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker, Tony Bennett and other celebrities joined the likes of former President Bill Clinton and members of the Democratic National Committee at Harlem's Apollo Theatre for a concert fundraiser.

Tucker co-hosted the event with actress Cicely Tyson. Ruben Blades, k.d. lang and Tony Bennett performed, as did Jackson. M.J. sang a medley of songs that included "Black or White" and "Smooth Criminal," and was joined by Jane's Addiction guitarist and former Red Hot Chili Pepper Dave Navarro for a portion of his set.

The event raised $2.5 million, according to a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee.

The Every Vote Counts program aims to promote awareness about the importance of voter registration and to educate people about the process in hopes of thwarting discrimination when they go to register.

This report is from MTV News.

Cops Searching Michael Jackson's Ranch

Tuesday, November 18, 2003



LOS OLIVOS, Calif. — Cops are searching Michael Jackson's (search) Neverland Ranch Tuesday after a 12-year-old boy reportedly brought allegations against the pop star.

Fox News has confirmed that police are swarming the Neverland (search) grounds.

At least one ambulance is present.

Authorities executed a search warrant at the musician's sprawling home in the Santa Ynez Valley outside of Santa Barbara, said a sheriff's spokesman, who declined to give his name. The Santa Barbara County District Attorney's office was also involved in the action, he added.

Jackson's spokesman, Stuart Backerman, did not answer his cell phone and did not immediately return messages early Tuesday.

The search comes on the same day Epic Records released "Number Ones," a greatest hits collection featuring Jackson's new single, "One More Chance." On Nov. 26, CBS is scheduled to air a Jackson special consisting mainly of old concert footage.

November 12, 2003 -- COURT TV anchor Diane Dimond, who reported on
the first days of the Michael Jackson sex case a decade ago, is the latest
to be caught up in a Hollywood phone-bugging scandal.

Dimond said yesterday that authorities have informed her that wiretaps
on her phone from 1994 are part of evidence seized by the FBI
last year from the computer of Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano.

Dimond was a reporter for "Hard Copy" in 1993 in the first days after the
story broke of a youngster accusing Jackson of sexually molesting him.

Pellicano worked for Jackson's attorney, Harold Weitzman

[StriperSniper]

M.J. sang a medley of songs that included ... "Smooth Criminal,"

Obviously dedicated to the Clintons.
