Let's not forget the heft sum it cost him to hire the witch doctor to kill Spielberg (or was it someone else?). I vaguely recall a bunch of people on MJ's hit list.

[stboz]

Since when is this crotch-grabbing piece of junk worthy of attention?....other than the possibility that he is, in fact, a child-molesting mistake of procreation.

[general_re]

...he is also an extravagant spender whose wealth is being consumed by an appetite for monkeys, Ferris wheels and surgery.

How much is his appetite for young boys costing him on a montly basis?

[general_re]

I wish I could limit my spending to only $1M/month ;-)

Could be a lot worse - Donald Trump's bankruptcy settlement required him to limit his monthly spending to a piddling $450,000 per month ;)

When I first saw the headline, I thought someone in the IRS got the cojones to stick a subpoena in Jesse Jacksons face..

Jacko has competition. Kozlowski's Thanksgiving Dinner reportedly included the following:

"- Almas "Diamond" Caviar (aged 100 years, the rarest in the world)... $23,308 for 1 kg.
- Turkey stuffed with French foie gras and truffles... $2,203
- 1 bottle of 1978 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet... $23,929
- 1 bottle of 1945 Chateau Petrus Bordeaux... $16,500
- 1 bottle of Chateau d'Yquem dessert wine... $12,990"

Michael Jackson resembled an aging Joan Crawford, pale, frail and weighing 120 pounds.

How can Joan Crawford be insulted any worse than that? Is there a lower insult on the planet? Anyone?

[Sofa King]

I always wondered how Jackson kept up that lifestyle without a hit album in so long. I though that maybe he had just invested wisely. Guess I was wrong.

Why would ANYONE want to eat something that's already been dead for 100 years ..... ????????

The only thing that would come to mind would be a mammoth or mastodon steak preserved in Siberian ice.

[Dante3]

I can't find anyhwere an explanation as to why Michael was allowed to keep his wig on for the mug shot and why there was no profile shot. Perhaps he paid a hefty sum for this?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Why would ANYONE want to eat something that's already been dead for 100 years ..... ????????

Ask Bill Clinton. He had the hots for a 2000 year old Peruvian Mummy.

"Sounds as though he's going to take Xtrajet to the cleaners."

If Xtrajet is like most charter airlines....it is more debt than assets..

He may succeed in driving them into backruptcy - but unlikely to get much money...

I cut and past. You decide.

[LADY J]

"I cut and past. You decide."

Is that Cut and Paste?

Yet another Hollywood weirdo wasting money on himself, when he could be helping the poor, especially children

I heard on some program, I think On The Record, that the income from his music collection that he owns a part of with Sony generated a couple of million a month. And the idiot put that up as collateral for a 200 million dollar loan, which he obviously can't pay. He was set for life and flushed it.

[zandtar]

It's fun for the whole family, and economical too!

I don't know why but I just got the picture of the 'brain freeze' scene from Dumb and Dumberer. 8)

I think I'd pass on something like that, even as interesting as it might sound. Who knows what little microbes and bacteria are also preserved within the meat.

FEH!
