[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

By special request, here is your live thread for the Wacky Michael Jackson 60 Minutes interview.

Michael Jackson is talking.

CBS' "60 Minutes" will air an interview with the pop superstar tonight, marking Jackson's first public comments since his Nov. 20 arrest on suspicion of child molestation.

Ed Bradley interviewed Jackson for about 30 minutes on Christmas Day at a hotel in Los Angeles. Bradley had been pursuing an interview with Jackson even before the molestation charges. The CBS newsman traveled to Jackson's Neverland estate last February for an interview, but Jackson got cold feet and canceled it at the last minute.

Jackson, 45, is charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent. He remains free on $3 million bail.

You gotta love an interview where Jackson talks about doo-doo.

Michael telling his tale about his arrest:MJ: Then one time, I asked to use the restroom. And they said, "Sure, it's right around the corner there." Once I went in the restroom, they locked me in there for like 45 minutes. There was doo doo, feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling. And it stunk so bad. Then one of the policemen came by the window. And he made a sarcastic remark. He said, "Smell — does it smell good enough for you in there? How do you like the smell? Is it good?" And I just simply said, "It's alright. It's okay." So, I just sat there, and waited.

How the heck can a 5' 11" guy weigh 120 lbs? I'd kill to be 120 lbs. Heck - I'd kill to be 5' 11".

Michael Jackson remains weird tonight on 60 Minutes.

[Ditter]

The skin on his nose looks better than it did a while back. Not that I care.

Fox News is analyzing the interview and they agree that he's one whacked out dude and this is very damaging to him and his case.

Don't fail to miss tonight's show!

[putupon]

They manhandled me very roughly. My shoulder is dislocated, literally. It's hurting me very badly. I'm in pain all the time. This is, see this arm? This is as far as I can reach it. Same with this side over here.

Donny Osmond's chin...

[LisaMalia]

This Melinda person on FoxNews is a flaming idiot.

I suspect MJ had no alternative but to give this interview in order for CBS to air his previously cancelled special. His CD is somewhere around #18 on the charts which translates into a $$ loss he cannot afford. Also shows the lack of control Geragos has over his client.
