Michael Jackson gets weird on 60 Minutes..tonight 7pm CBS LIVE THREAD

[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.

Please post him with that pic with Betty Davis from mommydearest again.


That was like, like his twin. Eerie.

How interracial? Brown is dominant over blue - the only way the kids could have blue eyes is if one of the parents is actually biracial.

[Catspaw]

Mom's got green eyes. Dad's got blue.

Sorry I missed the circus. (not!) Did anything come up about his amazing and timely tansferance to Islam?

I think I know why he did that one! Here is one from his new messenger prophet Muhamid.

Tabari IX:131 “My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was then brought in while the Messenger was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. Then the men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old.”

He is now the enemy on so many more levels.

...ED BRADLEY: Would you allow your children to sleep in the bed with a grown man, who was not a relative, or to sleep in the bedroom?

MICHAEL JACKSON: Sure, if I know that person, trust them, and love them. That's happened many times with me when I was little.

Hmmmmm....

LOL !!! I read your post and had to laugh. My son, now 27, loved to watch spooky movies....vampire, Frankenstein...the older, the more of a bad B movie the better, he loved them and he was 3 or 4 years old and that was what ran every Saturday afternoon, could not tear him away from the TV. I deal in fine art and antiques and appraise personal property and real estate, and when he was a baby and toddler he went with me, everywhere ...old houses, old attics, spooky basements. Now, we were in the basement of a very old home and he was 4ish....there was an old hall tree with the mirror missing, my son looked into the place where the mirror should have been expecting to see his reflection and saw NONE !!! He screamed and yelled...it was awhile before got to the bottom of that "fit"....he thought he had become a vampire in the middle of the night because he had no reflection. He is a very well adjusted young man now and able to tolerate sunlight .

History of Jackson's face

[Triple Word Score]

I posit that just the sleepovers he openly admits to is abuse in and of itself....

Agreed! And it's incredibly inept to admit to that much. Guilty or innocent--he shows failure to process risk assessment, as well as right and wrong, adequately. Most people cannot get away with having both circuits misfire at once for brief periods of time. He's had them both misfiring for years.

Whether he has actually molested anyone or not may be impossible to prove...but letting it look so bad is self-destructive in either case.

[MissL]

At what point did that adorable little black boy snap? He is beautiful. Nice eyes, smile and so normal and happy looking. What happened? What happened to him as a child? Who abused him? Why did he grow up and want to change everything about his face? His nose, eyes and mouth? To only become a cartoon of himself? Was it his father? One of his brothers? His agent? His Mother or sisters? Who abused this child enought to make him "mad"? Not defending his actions but he speaks of his lost childhood...who made him grow up...they are just as guilty as MJ.

[MissL]

I would say you are totally correct Ed Bradley cannot belive what he is hearing and seeing and at the same time would love to just give MJ a slap...MJ, has squandered talent, money, respect and hope...he is an embarassment.

[oceanperch]

Excellant Omelette.

Now for my 2cents on what ever is possesing the once very talented young musician MJ.

I firmly believe he has been taken over spiritually by demons.

Therefore he is not in control of his mental judgement.

I think he has sold his soul. Is it to late to reconcile and be well. Only God knows.

Neverland ranch would serve well as an
Asylum for all child stars now adult in denial ect....

Before I would allow it to be used for children or any sane human I would say it needs to be exorcised of the demons and cut dowm that damn majical tree.

Now the only thing I do not knnow is are the demons just in MJ mind making him ill or are they running rampant around Never Never Land too.

If one does not believe in demonic possesion than you could simply label MJ a man trapped in a deviant psycosis due to a chemical imbalance.

Any way you put it he is living in another deminsion.

Reminds me of a special freind who is not actively in my life who asked to talk to me this morning.

He was so far gone mentally it was sad.
Induced by drugs/meth he kept asking me if I could see the demons I then prayed with him at his request and held him tightly then he rolled up on the floor and asked if I would read the Holy Bible to him which I did and he fell asleep. I pray he gets professional help.

Now was it the pyschosis due to meth and how many days he had been awake or was he really seeing demons in his psychotic state.

My freind is a gentle soul he was so scared he asked me to walk him to the bathroom and wait because there were windows along the way and the demons were looking in.

Watching MJ I feel he is a very mentally ill man just like my freind but MJ does not have the same demons.
Very Sad and heartbreaking.

He is an apt symbol of how all our children have lost normal childhood. Freaks in the mall whose pants are sagged and whose skin is pierced were once innocent little babies. Girls are wearing words across their backside we were never allowed to say.

[MissL]

Agree...BUT if our children have lost direction and childhood it is our fault for not taking charge and not teaching them manners, respect and proper decorum. One cannot blame the children if they are savages, one must look to their parents, community and schools. If a child cannot find direction at home or school they are lost. An we are a lesser civilization with each lost child, each child that cannot read or do simple math or has a child at 13 or drops out of school...they become our "child" for life.

My pants have words across the back.

One pair says "snoopy" and another "garfield". Two of my faves. : )

Shopping in the young mens dept a Krogers (our biggest store in town) was a bit much with the crude sayings on shirts.

I bought my son a t in that Dept. and it is the only gift he demanded that I return. It said Jesus is my Homeboy. My son loves Jesus and said he would be embarressed be seen in that T. I think hokey is the word I would use to describe what he said.

I never was a fan of MJ but could not deny his popularity and cast off his weirdness due to the obscene amount of money that he had. The silver gloved wave from the gurney when he caught his hair on fire was telling to me that he was deeply disturbed and would capitalize any situation for his popularity.

Any publicity is not necessarily good publicity.

I stopped feeling sorry for him and his family after I read this.

(this post edited for content due to the vulgar rant of the poster!)

I think thats about the same time Latoya started dissing the whole clan as well.

[Boot Hill]

This guy(?), Michael Jackson, looks like a girl, sounds like a girl, uses lipstick and copious amounts of eye makeup, a girl's hairstyle and dresses like a clown, then goes on national TV and repeats obvious lies ("there were 80 police searching my bedroom, but nobody but police were in the house" and "the police dislocated both my shoulders and bruised my upper forearm with handcuffs") and then expects us to believe that he isn't some kind of weirdo that might do some pretty strange things to little kids???

What's up with that?

--Boot Hill

[MissL]

I am not saying that feel sorry for him in any sense, I just wonder what made him snap....just trying to understand. But I do know that that might be impossible. He is disturbed, and might be insane....but what made him so? He is a curosity, and has made himself a freak in a modern-day sideshow, why? He had opportunity and money and talent?....No, I am not defending, just wondering why.
