Too late!! Bwahahahahhahahahahahahah...

[FITZ]

For one, I'll bet his shows were extremely expensive to put on, those carnival rides and all his weird toys. Facelifts and skin bleach alone cost him a fortune. To find a doctor corrupt enough to deliberately destroy a nice looking face and make you look weird costs extra.

I think this explains his recent television specials, he desperately needs fame and fortune again. It's likely going to be Madonnas same fate ---she's got money now but she'll be spending hers on movies and tours that lose her a lot of money.

[bethelgrad]

I hope this doesn't cause him to lose face.



Ha!!! If we gave awards for wit, you'd win hands down. Good one. I can barely contain myself!

[Genesis defender]

I was going to advise Michael to cut up the plastic, but self-mutilation isn't his style.

Wait a minute....

[GnuHere]

Michael, your theater in Branson awaits. Unfortunately, I can only think of a few buildings there that are high enough for baby dangling.

[breakem]

In a couple of years he can get the Andy Williams for a discount. France is his answer, but I forgot the question.

[johnboy]

read a few years back that mc hammer, too, had squandered it all - 'only' 25 mil, though. still had his hummer, but was dancing at gas station openings. ugh. what a waste.

someone once quipped: "to turn $100,000 into $110,000 is real genious. to turn $100,000,000 into $110,000,000 is inevitable."

guess there'll always be exceptions to rules.

Michael, your theater in Branson awaits.

LOL, I had same thought. Live just up the road from Branson.

[exit82]

Hah! Best comment so far. But you win by only a nose.

[Michael.SF.]

Paul would win any bidding war.

Ya think?

He did lose the last one.

[oceanperch]

How is he going to take care of his children's future now?

So much for children coming first.

[WKB]

He should sell off his assests, pay off his debts, downsize, and move to France

and pull a Jim Morrison!!

[cubreporter]

You bet. Didn't know that about Hammer. Darn, I used to like him so much. His music was neat... sad endings for these people who seem to have so much yet so little.

[cubreporter]

You are right. No one or not many want to hear him anymore. People are fickle and go from one star to another. Sad but true. It's up to the star to handle and invest his money wisely to take care of his futre cause once you are down and out your FRIENDS (hangers on) are gone and you are alone!

[Chantal]

No one or not many want to hear him anymore.

Even Elizabeth Taylor & Liza Minelli have no comments. He still has David Gest as a fan....(another weirdo)

[Palladin]

David Gest told Greta that he and Michael have been friends since they were 12.

Birds of a feather?

How many more of Michael's show biz friends share his perversion?

They are all being very quiet right now.

What, and more importantly WHO is on those Neverland videotapes confiscated by LEA?

Jacko's finances look worse than ever:

No WONDER he played the race card a couple years (or fewer) ago against Sony, trying to blame his floundering sales on their alleged racism or something. It didn't work for Spike Lee vs. Warner Bros. either. Remember when he blamed them for spending "merely" all that his previous movies had grossed COMBINED on his (then new) Malcolm X box office debacle?
