Your point is well-taken.

My first reaction was skepticism in light of the past. But, this does look very serious, indeed.

I feel so sorry for Michael. What a messed up, troubled life he’s had. Maybe he would have been happier as a normal human being without all the fame.

I wanted to be an actress when I was a kid. Now I look back and thank God I’m a nobody. Fame is a hard thing to handle for most.

“This is also weird. After Farrah died, someone asked who the third person would be and another poster said MJ.”

That Freeper needs to be questioned regarding his whereabouts today around 12:00 pm

You could be on to something. The rumor flying around the twitterverse is that it was due to sleeping pill OD.

JANUARY 6—As search warrants go, you won’t find one more intrusive than the one executed on Michael Jackson’s, um, person in 1993. And the results of that intimate Kodak moment from a decade ago could resurface in the performer’s upcoming molestation trial.

A detailed recounting of the criminal probe of Jackson is contained in sealed documents reviewed by TSG. An affidavit from former Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department deputy Deborah Linden was filed in 1993 to secure court permission to photograph Jackson’s private parts. Investigators sought the images in a bid to corroborate allegations made by 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. The boy told police that Jackson frequently masturbated him, adding that he could provide a detailed description of the star’s penis as a way of proving the pair had been intimate.

According to the Linden affidavit, Chandler told police that Jackson justified the illicit acts by saying, “it was okay and natural because other friends had done this” with him. The singer, then in his mid-30s, also allegedly told the boy that, “masturbation is a wonderful thing.” The celebrity also told Chandler that if he ever spoke about the incidents, he would be “placed in Juvenile Hall,” and they both would get in trouble.

The document also describes a confrontation between Jackson and Chandler’s father Evan, who suspected that the performer may have been assaulting his son during sleepovers. The elder Chandler tracked Jackson down to his “hideaway apartment” in Los Angeles.

The boy’s father asked Jackson, “Are you f-ing my kid?”

The entertainer “became very upset” and told Chandler that he did not use that word. Linden notes that the singer did not answer the question or deny the allegation.

With Los Angeles Police Department detectives weighing his claims, Chandler gave them a roadmap to Jackson’s below-the-waist geography, which, he said, includes distinctive “splotches” on his buttocks and one on his penis, “which is a light color similar to the color of his face.” The boy’s information was so precise, he even pinpointed where the splotch fell while Jackson’s penis was erect, the length of the performer’s pubic hair, and that he was circumcised.

It wasn’t long after law enforcement’s photo session that Jackson agreed to settle Chandler’s civil claim for north of $20 million.

That sounds like slow suicide to me.

Sometimes I hear an old 1970’s Jackson 5 tune and it makes me a bit happy. Bubble-gumish sound but very catchy and little boy MJ could really belt it out with melody!

Prayers for him please....remember we are ALL sinners who need God.

Say what you will, people, but I hope he recovers.

Michael Jackson was one captivating, talented entertainer in his day — I hope for a good outcome for him!

You need to change jobs. I have 29 years as a critical care physician, and our survival is much better. I’ll agree on the Trauma codes, though. I’ve never had one of those survive.

Yup. My age too. Apparently 1958 was a big year!

Sounds kind of like what happened with Elvis. If he dies, he is going to knock poor Farrah and her long battle off the headlines. This is too weird.

"via Twitter: BreakingNewsBULLETIN — LA TIMES: MICHAEL JACKSON “NOT BREATHING” UPON ARRIVAL AT L.A. HOSPITAL."

If true, that's an awfully ominous sign. Doesn't look good for Mr. Jackson.

Sounds like Michael was anorexic. From what I hear, the body starts consuming itself if there is no fat left..So maybe that's why he had a heart attack?

Those old Jackson Five songs are really fun. “I Want You Back” always gets everybody out on the dance floor.

He was a very talented kid.

No matter what anybody thinks of the man, my prayers are with his family and children.

Yeah...I hope he's ready to meet The Maker.
