I'm sorry, but reading that made me think of this:

What am I missing here? Michael Jackson owns the rights to half of the Beatles catalogue!! Where does Debra Opri get her comparison between such a mega-million $$$ gold mine to a "small business owner?" - Dishonest spin and hype has been going on throughout the trial by Jackson family spokespersons, despite Judge Melville's gag order, which apparently Opri and Ramone Bain don't think applies to them.
I'm sorry, but reading that made me think of this:
That's one scary picture.
I couldn't help but notice, the other day, that Culkin is almost as white as Michael Jackson. They also seem to use the same shade of lipstick.
Which one is for child-star weirdos?
Just go to the page and scroll down on the right side, to where it says "Photo Gallery" Michael Jackson 1972-present, with this photo.

I live just a little north of Santa Maria..what a ZOO this has been. We can't wait for it to be OVER!
1982
1987
1996
I read somewhere about a year ago, that during that dreadful, insane performance that he put on, while he was on the witness stand in the breach of contract trial (1996?), his nasal prosthesis fell off, and afterwards, at his home, he summoned a plastic surgeon and stood in front of a mirror, crying, "I'm MELTING!!"
Michael Jackson clearly isn't mentally healthy. Since I'm not a psychiatrist, I can't begin to diagnose what made him run off the rails of sanity, but he obviously did, sometime in the late-1980's and early 1990's, as these photos illustrate.
Thanks for posting the photos. You chose exactly the right ones; - the ones I was referring to.

Innocent Mocha Ice, of course.

MJ has been refered to as "Peter Pan" and such in the past, but most laughed it off. He plays the "victimization" card, because his "childhood" was taken away.
What about his brothers? They "seem" to have all grown up to be "responsible" adults. They weren't as popular in music as Michael was, after he hit his 20's and such.
Personally, I think that excuse is baloney. Something did happen to him. Not sure what, but as you pointed out, it was sometime during that transition period, where he has completely removed himself from reality.
Absolutely. No doubt about it, and all of these frantic trips to the hospital are for PR also. He's sending a message, primarily (he hopes) to whichever jurors will be breaking the rules, and catching up on news items. He is being the victim of persecution, of racism, of that big bad conspiracy that is just wickedly trying to take his half of the Beatles catalogue away from him. Oh the cruelty of it........so bad, just so so bad that it is making him very very ill, and it's all "their" fault. It's "them," "those bad people out there"....in New York and in the DA's office in Santa Maria. Just makes Michael very very ill.
That's the deal with the trips to the hospital. Pure BS. When he was in that trial over breach of contract, if you recall, he claimed that he'd been bitten by a spider and made sure that the cameras caught him hobbling around on crutches with his foot bandaged.
He invents different "accidents" and ailments, one after another. Quite creative of him, but I don't know who - other than the demented "fans" outside of the courthouse - who are buying this cherade.

I couldn't figure out why they even put Culkin on the witness stand. If he was indeed molested, of course he would lie. It would be pure poison to whatever is left of his career if he admitted being molested by Jackson. Forever after, he would be "that kid star that was molested by Jackson." He'd never get a decent part again.
He put that up as collateral for a loan. A loan by the way he is having a problem repaying.
LOL!! He'll have to pick a race first to be a victim of racism!
That is STILL the most bizzare picture I have ever seen.
Weird.
Michael Jackson is like a modern day Howard Hughes.
Meanwhile, even more bizarre, is that Michael Jackson's personal magician also came to the courthouse!
I leave you all to interpret what THAT means! Putting a "magical Peter Pan charm" on the jury?.......and a hex on the DA and the judge?
I wish I had a personal magician in times of stress.
Char :)
Nothing like family cohesiveness in a time of "crisis"

No WAY!!
Talk about the epitome of the circus act! LOL!
I know I have seen clips of jugglers out by the media tents sometime back...suppose he'll try to put Michael in a box, wave his magic wand, and say "now you see him, now you don't?"
(shaking head in bemusement)
I wonder how much magicians for the wealthy charge per hour.........hmmmm...Maybe Michael is holding auditions for magicians while he sweats out his "last days at Neverland." He may need a small army of them, if I'm right . . . that he's a goner already.......headed for the slammer.
He just molested one kid too many. That was his downfall. He should have quit while he was ahead.
