The "Everything Michael Jackson" Thread

[BillyGoatGruff]

:laugh: :laugh:

Pop superstar Michael Jackson has sparked further speculation that he is on the verge of converting to Islam, after pledging to erect a mosque in his adopted home of Bahrain.

Word to wise, Abdul: When it coems to the KOP's promises--Don't hold yer breath.

That's old news. They've been saying that for quite some time ever since he set foot in Bahrain last summer. Also, there's the little matter of buying said land (and given the location, I'd assume someone of influence, possibly a royal, already owns it and isn't going to hand it over just to make MJ look good). And that's not even taking into account that if he did actually convert, it would be to the Sunni branch of Islam (like his hosts) in a country with a Shiite majority, so attendance would not only be limited but you'd also have the more outspoken clerics denouncing why he's being treated so special given his history of odd behaviour.

Thanks for that, Wolfwood. puts it all into perspective, getting a Bahrain national telling it like it is.

do you think Jackson's been given the boot from Bahrain, btw?

All I say is wow if these statements truly came from Jermaine. Unbelievable. :furious: :furious: :furious: AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IF THIS FAMILY HAS PROTECTED HIM LIKE THIS, ALL THEIR HINEYS SHOULD BE IN JAIL. OMG

"In a tell-all outline shopped to publishers just weeks after Michael's arrest in November 2003, Jermaine described the Pop King as a sometimes out-of-control drug and booze abuser with a calculating mean streak and "a thing for young children."

The eight-page proposal for "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst," lists Michael Jackson's preferred substances as Vicodin, Demerol, codeine, Percocet, cocaine, Jack Daniels and wine."



http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/396993p-336409c.html

"Michael Jackson's two older children by ex-wife Debbie Rowe were fathered by a "sperm donor" - not the "natural way" as the pop star has insisted for years, according to his brother Jermaine's 2003 bombshell book proposal.
"My brother purchased children," Jermaine, 51, says in an outline for his never-published tell-all titled "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst."

So why is this only coming out now? Why didn't Jermaine speak out and testify against his brother in court if he knows all of this? Was he concerned that speaking out would ruin his chances of making money off of a book deal?

 

[PaperDoll]

I wondering the same thing.. why didn't he come out and tell this during the trial? :waitasec: Boy, this goes to show you that money can't buy happiness aka: everything ...

 

[HeartofTexas]

According to Jermaine, the reason he didn't say anything during the trial was because he knew Michael would commit suicide if he spent a day in prison.

The whole family makes my skin crawl. It's a sad commentary on what one abusive husband and one "tolerant" mother can do to destroy any hope of a decent life for any of their children. And by decent life, I mean a life that does not harm others in the same way they were harmed.

According to Jermaine, the reason he didn't say anything during the trial was because he knew Michael would commit suicide if he spent a day in prison.

And his reason for not speaking out is?????? :waitasec:

 

[Lauren]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Jean]

Well, I guess we know for sure Michael is out of money since Jermaine is finally talking. The whole family makes me sick.

 

[sandraladeda]

Wow, Jermaine, this is quite a news flash!

MJ is a 'sometimes out-of-control drug and booze abuser with a calculating mean streak and "a thing for young children." ' - and he has even changed the color of his skin?

We never noticed! :slap:

 

[deanws]

The fact that the kids were from a sperm bank shouldn't shock anyone. First, because Debbie wasn't a little boy, so not his type. Second, because the kids are 100% white. :laugh: That is why he always kept them covered. Like we all didn't know they weren't his in the first place. :crazy:

 

[BillyGoatGruff]

Jackson must be 110% broke if Jermaine is no longer worried about alienating his brother. Time for the payback on deep-sixing his solo career.

 

[BillyGoatGruff]

The new dish is that Jermain Jackson is shopping a book proposal basically admitting that his brother is an out of control alcoholic/drug addict/pedophile who deliberately changed his skin color and had his children artifically created with someone else's sperm. (Like we didn't already know this) And that the family works hard to keep him away from the younger nephews. etc.

[tezi]

Didn't freakin' Jermaine stand by him during his trial? All I can say is the whole family should be arrested!

This makes my blood boil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree more! :clap:

 

[Amraann]

so in effect he aided a child molester and lied so that Mj would not kill himself??

WHo flippin cares if he slits his own wrists? Better to let the scum bag stay out of prison so he can harm more children??
I agree they all belong in prison.

Ya know if this was a case where a stepfather was molesting a kid and the mother knew about then the mother would be charged as well so how come the Jacksons who clearly knew about this are not charged?

I wonder what Germaine is doing himself. Wasn't he and the older boys having sex with Michael right there in the room when he was a little boy and the old man beating the heck out of them for not practicing hard enough. They ought to all be in jail, including the women, Debbie Rowe for her part, and the doctors who give Michael his drugs. I pity the poor little boys that will probably be shipped in for the perverts in whatever country that Michael is living at now.

IMO, it wasn't so much that JJ (or any of the Jacksons) would be torn up about MJ dying, it was more about his MEAL TICKET dying. Jermaine has about as much dignity and integrity as MJ has = none.

What with the olympics and the cartoon riots, Neil Entwistle and Cheney etc.,it looks like reporters were busy elsewhere.

A little off topic but I wanted to give a big thumbs up to Italy and the Torino olympic committee for throwing one heck of an olympic games....good job to all involved especially the volunteers without which it would never have been possible.................:clap:
No one is going to buy Jermaine's book. It's filled with stuff that we already know about him and the ff's aren't going to buy anything that puts their "hero" in any kind of bad light. Good luck with that one........:laugh: Besides who is going to believe anything that comes out of any of the Jacksons mouths. I don't think they know how to tell the truth but then again apples don't fall to far from their trees.
