Agree -— and MJ was acquitted of those charges — not saying he was innocent OR guilty, but he WAS acquitted. And people came out of the woodwork to sue him for all sorts of outrageous things per authors who wrote books about him and his life.

LAPD getting ready to enter the home...LAPD personnel have the key to the front gates, and are entering the home now.

This would indicate they just want to inspect the scene, unless they know something else that was possibly discovered at the hospital...

Probably routine.

Now reporting this is possibly and investigation looking for drugs, possibly a search...

Tight lipped now.

Most likely, the pedo is in hell. What is so hard to understand about that?

More likely, you don't have a clue where he's at in this point and time.

And even more to the point, you don't have the power (thankfully) to say where someone goes when they die. That's not your say.

There is something hard to understand here, and it's completely on your end of the equation.

I thought Priscilla claimed he wouldn’t sleep with her enough AFTER they were married? Or I guess that was only after she gave birth. That didn’t give her much of a window of opportunity.

And some of it might just be that Jerry Lee’s gal LOOKED 13.

Priscilla at 14? Not so sure Elvis was attracted to her due to her being underage as much as it was her being a young Priscilla.

I heard him make this a racial issue, he all but blamed whites for Jacksons death. Very divisive statement. Al Charlatan indeed.

LAPD uniform tells the media, it’s just a normal look see, and played it down, then tells the media, “Oh the detectives will tell ya what they found when they exit the home.”

Right!

I imagine fidelity is difficult in Hollywood. Well, it’s hard everywhere, apparently. :)

I was flamed a bit on the Farah thread about people questioning her morals.

I may not have agreed at all with MJ life, but I hope he may find peace.

My thoughts go out to his children.

Hopefully, they may go forward and have a more normal life and be kids. I may be wrong that they did not have a normal life, but I doubt it.

Maybe now, since he kept their identities so closed, a few years from now, no one will know who they are.

What an odd life to be a child in.

Nixon had Elvis.. Clinton had Michael..

President-elect Bill Clinton (L) shakes hands with singer Michael Jackson as singer Stevie Nicks (R) of the band Fleetwood Mac sings at the finale of a star-studded gala on the eve of Clinton's first inauguration as president of the United States in Washington, in this January 19, 1993 file photo. Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and set the world dancing to exuberant rhythms for decades, died on June 25, 2009, after being taken ill at his home, the Los Angeles Times said. He was 50. REUTERS/Str/Files

These usually come in threes:

MJ
Hopefully both Dear Leader and Supreme Leader are next.

I’ve often wondered if maybe all the Neverland stuff was because he wasn’t able to have anything you could call a “real” childhood.
