Norwegian boys in USA on Jackson's tab

Three Oslo teenagers have been on a secret private visit to pop idol Michael Jackson at his pleasure park Neverland Ranch in California. After police raided Neverland Tuesday morning with a warrant for Jackson's arrest on suspicion of sexually assaulting a young boy worries have run high in Oslo, newspaper VG reports.

One of the mothers said she was waiting to hear from her son, and was considering calling Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Two youths were invited along to California by Jackson's Norwegian-Pakistani friend Omer Bhatti, 19.

Bhatti, from Oslo's Holmlia district, became a celebrity of sorts after Jackson discovered him in 1996. Bhatti was standing outside Jackson's hotel in Tunis dressed like Jackson and bearing a red rose in his hand.

Since then they have been close friends, and Bhatti and his family have been frequent guests of Jackson's. Bhatti was most recently photographed with Jackson at the star's 45th birthday celebrations in Los Angeles.

Bhatti has been unswervingly loyal to Jackson during their relationship, according to VG.

VG's sources claim that the Oslo trio's USA holiday is bought and paid by Jackson and was a secret to all but their nearest family members. The trip to Neverland should have lasted a week, but the boys have now been gone nearly four weeks.

"I have faith in the judgment of both Omer and my son. Besides, I don't believe all the claims and rumors about Michael Jackson, even if I have them in the back of my mind. I am more worried about the conduct of American police than I am about the claims against Michael Jackson," the mother of one of the boys told VG.

Omer Bhatti was a friend of Benjamin Hermansen, an African-Norwegian teen that was killed in a racist attack in Holmlia. Jackson dedicated his album Invincible to Hermansen's memory at Bhatti's request.

looks like Jacko's in favor of free trade.

The trip to Neverland should have lasted a week, but the boys have now been gone nearly four weeks.

So I imagine Michael is holding this children hostage in his "surrender" negotiations.

>Besides, I don't believe all the claims and rumors about Michael Jackson, even if I have them in the back of my mind. I am more worried about the conduct of American police than I am about the claims against Michael Jackson," the mother of one of the boys told VG.

Sounds like you're afraid you're gonna get caught by American police for prostituting your kid lady.

Hannity read the documents on the air. I hope he warned parents about it first. I didn't hear if he did.
There was a lot of semen swallowing involved - to put it nicely. Let's just say Jackson walked away with a full stomach.

I'll bet he had no interest in lutefisk.

[Charles Henrickson]

Doesn't Jacko own the rights to the Beatles' song, "Norwegian Wood"?

Sounds like a real beaut. Rape of her sons is nothing, but having the police ask them about it is politically incorrect.
She needs to watch less CNN.

Hannity stopped reading (at Flipper's insistence) before he got to that part. He read as far as the French kissing.

Asked if there was any way that he was involved with teenage boys, Jackson responded that "There was just Nor-way!"

Bingo. You're probably right.

[Mears]

What on earth is the matter with the parents?

They discussed the rest. My husband was freaked out. He was ranting and raving about how the ba$tard should be shot on sight.
We have kids, and when ever he hears of someone hurting a child, he get's so angry. He's usually rather timid, but kids are a hot botton for him.
No one better mess with our kids. My husband would get even. He'd hunt them down until the day he dies. And their little friends, too.

[concerned about politics]

No one knows where Jackson is. He left Vagas without a flight plan. Poof! Gone!

[theDentist]

Sorry, no. He didn't stop there. He went into the full details.

[DAPFE8900]

Well and for people that have had things like this happens it is the hardest...Cause seeing micheal jackson get the punishment will be like watching the person who did it to your self get what they deserve..
And if micheal has his own plane they need to send the airforce looking for it!

[whereasandsoforth]

I missed the Hannity thing. What was he discussing?

[metalboy]

I like what Norm McDonald said once on Saturday Night Live about that time Michael fainted on stage and went to the hospital and had big pictures of Shirley Temple brought up to his room. "Today Michael Jackson had pictures of Shirley Temple brought up to his hospital room, and a spokeman for Jackson said "We don`t want anyone to get the wrong idea about Michael wanting those pictures... Michael unequivocally states that he is a gay pedophile." ZING!

[per loin]

I just heard on the local news channel that Jackson has decided not to turn himself in to the police until he is ready to do so.
