Do all aging pop stars start to look and dress the same?

Just sayin’.

Cause we have seen this look before.

Now before you roll your eyes and pass this over I need to tell you how awesome this video it.  My brother was at my house one day and showed it to me.  Now I, like you, was extremely sceptical.  He definitely got the side eye when he told me what it was.  I mean, how can you do Billie Jean on an acoustic guitar?  And more importantly, why would you?  Because Billie Jean is probably the most over played MJ song ever.  But this guy totally blew me away.  It is amazing and you should take the 5 minutes to watch it.  Check it out below.

This is pretty much the worst story that I have heard in a while.

Since Michael Jackson passed away his three children have been living with their Grandmother and some of their cousins.  Apparently, Jermaine Jackson’s 13 year old son, Jaafar (like from Aladdin?) purchased a stun gun over the internet.  He then intended to use it on Michael’s youngest son, Blanket.

Seriously.

What on earth would possess a kid to want to stun gun another kid?  Hasn’t poor Blanket been through enough and now his cousins want to taser him?  I can only imagine that this house, which apparently has 8 of the grand kids in it, is much like a school, with the “cool” kids picking on the losers, thinking up cruel and unusual things to do to one another.

Thank goodness that Child Protective Services was able to get involved before this stun gun was put to use.  One of our friends had one and all our guy friends (including my husband) took turns doing it to one another.  Yes, grown men tasered each other.  But these are grown ass man, 180 to 200 lbs.  And it dropped them.  Could you imagine if this had been used on a child?

And how on earth are you able to order these things over the internet?

Tanya: I’m not gonna lie, I probably would have tasered my cousin’s when I was a kid if I had the chance. And I definitely would have tasered my brother. No hard feelings bro, but I’m sure you would have done the same.

But we didn’t have any credit cards as kids so we couldn’t order taser guns online.

Disney’s Aladdin came out in 1992 and I’m guessing Jaafar was born in 1996 so yeah, he was totally named after that. Who names their kid after the villain? That would be like having a kid today and naming him “Voldemort”.

There’s always been a lot of talk about Michael Jackson not being the biological father of his kids, but since his death pretty much anybody who has ever had contact with him is being considered to be the dad.

The latest finger pointingis at Macaulay Culkin and saying he is the father of “Blanket” Prince Michael II. Culkin is the Godfather to Prince Michael I and Paris Michael, but the sperm donor for Blanket? I personally find that a little hard to believe. It’s too smutty.

I honestly feel bad for these kids. Why can’t we just leave them alone and let Michael be their dad – even if he isn’t.

(and yes, the irony of this post is not lost on me)

Stacey: Lol.  Brilliant.  Of course Macaulaly Culkin is being brought into question.  Why wouldn’t he be.  And honestly, would you be surprised?

I agree though.  Why can’t everyone just leave it alone?  I think it just adds to the circus and the bizarreness that always surrounded Michael.

Stacey emailed me and asked me to post this video: Michael Jackson is Dead

Stacey asks: When is it too soon to joke? I think its hilarious.

I have to say: really?

Update: Debbie Rowe’s publicist has said that this interview was fake.

While Lisa Marie Presley has come out to say that her marriage to Michael Jackson was NOT a sham, Debbie Rowe has come out to say that hers WAS and that Michael’s 2 oldest children, Prince & Paris, aren’t even his. Debbie tells News of the World (credibility = 0) that they never had sex, that she was artificially impregnated, that the sperm was from an anonymous doner, and that she was paid handsomely for her services, doesn’t want the kids and feels no attachment to them.

Cold. These kids just lost their dad and now their mom makes a public statment that she wants nothing to do with them. Maybe “I think they’ll be better off with their grandmother or nanny” would have been a softer way of putting it.

This afternoon after digesting the news of Michael Jackson’s death, my coworkers and I took a moment to reminisce the life & times of Michael Jackson (er.. I mean work…) and my coworker Jason piped in “he’s not really dead, he’s faking it”.

At the same time Stacey texted me “it will be interesting to see how he will be remembered”.

A lot of other sites are taking a moment to remember Michael Jackson’s contribution to music, which was huge and I sincerely hope we all remember him that way, but I think we should look back on some of the crazy theories, speculation and accusations that may or may not be true.

• Michael Jackson faked his death
• Michael Jackson & LaToya Jackson are the same person
• Micheal Jackson’s nose fell off
• Michael Jackson molested Macaulay Culkin
• Michael Jackson thinks he’s Peter Pan
• Michael Jackson’s kids aren’t really his
• Michael Jackson sleeps in a hyperbolic oxygen chamber
• Michael Jackson bought the bones of the Elephant man
• Michael Jackson bleaches his skin

… and on and on. Leave a comment with your favourite (or most ridiculous) Michael Jackson rumour or fact.

Stacey: I think that in his death MJ will be remembered mostly for his contribution to music, as most are generally remembered for the good things they did.  I hope that the bad will not be forgotten, though, as the bad was really really bad.  And I think that is the paradox of MJ and the paradox of feelings most people are probably having in relation to Michael and how they will remember him.  While I am sad that he has passed and will forever be grateful for the incredible music he has provided (a sound track to my youth, my reason for ever even wanting to dance) he was a crazy MF and was accused of some horrible things.  What a strange man, with a strange life.  I just hope that his children are well taken care of and are able to live a happy, somewhat normal life.

My favorite rumor because it is the most horrible is that he bleached his willy so that the child that accused him of molesting him couldn’t identify it.  My big question is, are they showing these kids line ups of men’s johnsons?  Weird.

TMZ is reporting that Micheal Jackson was picked up at his LA home by EMS around 1pm and was rushed to UCLA hospital. He reportedly suffered cardiac arrest and the paramedics had to give him CPR on the way to the hospital.

Joe Jackson has talked to TMZ saying Michael “is not doing well” and that his mom & brothers are on the way to the hospital.

Sad news! I hope Michael Jackson is OK.

Update: TMZ is repoting that Micheal Jackson has died this afternoon at the age of 50. He went into cardiac arrest this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him.

*tear!* He was a musical legend and will be missed.

Here’s Michael Jackson and his kids (unmasked for maybe the first time ever) headed to a studio in LA.

His kids are white. Really white. Michael Jackson may be white now, and I’m no geneticist, but I’m pretty sure if MJ were to reproduce he would pass along black genes. Interracial kids usually have the best skin, a light mix of the two colors that gives a really cool, really unique look. These kids don’t have that. These kids are straight up white.
