Statements Pour In About The Death Of Michael Jackson
It seems that every celebrity on the planet has issued a statement about the passing of Michael Jackson. Seriously, every single. Below is just a few from those who worked with him or knew him well. Understandably, Elizabeth Taylor just can't deal right now, so her rep said she will issue a statement at a later time.
Brooke Shields: "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."
Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Lisa Marie Presley: "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me."
Quincy Jones: "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words."
Liza Minnelli: "He was a kind, genuine, and wonderful man. He was also one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived. I loved him very much and I will miss him every remaining day of my life."
Corey Feldman: "I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend. Unfortunately Michael and I had a falling out on September 10th 2001 and that broken friendship had never been repaired … I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse. All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again. I am truly, and deeply sorry for all of the heartbroken fans and supporters worldwide."

Thanks, Alix. I got my MJ Anthology out and am listening to "Got to Be There." Gorgeous!

Check out awfulplasticsurgery.com for a video of MJ's physical transformation over the years. Nothing illustrates the tragedy of his life better than the destruction of his face.
Apparently they found painkillers all over the house; no way his body could take any more abuse.
Waiting for your comments, Miss Ross and Mr. Gordy.

Looks as though Fatty may have deleted the post in which he accused MJ of "faking" it. Fatboy should slide under the radar for a while, keep his mouth shut.
Seems to be some hatin' over people telling jokes. Seems you people need to go watch the famous "Chuckles the Clown" episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show (yes, I am 200 y.o.), which deals with just this very sensitive topic. Go watch it! Now!

I've been watching his videos all evening. I forgot how good his music was...
Gross Corey Feldman...now is the time when less is more.
This is pretty maudlin:
I’ll Be There
I have snarky comments in my mouth but my heart won't let me say them. RIP Michael Jackson
He has been an idol to me since I was a little girl. I remember when I went through this weird MJ phase when I was 5 year old. I wore the same two MJ shirts throughout each week for 2 months straight while I carried around my MJ barbie doll. He will be missed. My thoughts go out to his kids and family.
I haven't ever been this affected by a celeb's death. He was my first celeb crush. You couldn't tell me shit about MJ when I was young. I do have to be honest though. I believe that he molested those kids. There may have been a certain degree of innocence or naivete in it, but I do think it happened. His father pretty much guaranteed that he was never going to turn out normal. I don't understand how I can be so sad about the death of someone that I believe did something so horrible.

No, actually...that other thread is really full of great jokes I never heard before, myself....I mentioned that over there - that this kinda tragedy brings the lolz too...
---------------------
LOL! regular people like us will joke no matter what but what about the famous peeps? The ones who wouldn't touch anything MJ related with a ten feet pole? When are they going to remember they wanted nothing to do with the freak-child molester? A year? A week? A day? Ever? LOL. I'm asking because it's like suddenly everybody and their mother remembers there was a dude by the name of Michael Jackson who, when he wasn't busy smelling baby nalgas, he happened to do music... (Justin Timberfake doesn't count!)

Oh Bossy, you trusting soul, you!
My favorite MJ song is Got to be There -- I defy anyone to listen to him hit that last note and not get goosebumps. Of course, the poor kid singing a love song at 10 years old -- ugh.
Y'all, I have not been an MJ fan for many, many years for many obvious reasons, but -- full disclosure! -- back in the day, I was nuts. I saw him and his brothers in concert in '80 or '81 (yes, I'm 107 y.o.), before Thriller, when we were the only three white folks in the audience. They ROCKED. I bought the loafers, the silver glove, and had posters all over the place. The only white chick in Westchester County who bought Ebony every month to get the deets that People couldn't or wouldn't provide! Still know the lyrics to every song from Thriller. Can remember the plots of several Jackson 5 cartoon eps. And to think that this musical phenomenon morphed into something out of the House of Wax. Seriously, who doesn't think he already looked embalmed, with the creepy brows, red lips and mop of fake hair from the Phil Spector collection? A truly strange and tragic existence. I hope his children grow up to be normal and happy.
Ryan O'Neal should be having his tantrum any moment now.

Ann Curry was probably thinking "How many fingers can I fit in Angelina's gunt?" while droning on and on about MJ.
For fuck's sake, MJ DIED. MJ! Get someone with a pulse on the fucking story. Ann Curry...more dreary than even an icon's death.

This is one of those things where you will remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you found out MJ died.

I'm sure lots of kids will though - some good, some not.....

Well, I was more interested in what Miley, Blohan, Parasite, Phoebe, Quween, Speidi and Stains had to say (some twits twatted as you can guess) but my favorite post of the day still is Fatty's "we think this is all a publicity stunt - we are skeptical" or whatever the pig said.

Where is Macaulay's statement????
Oh, I'd forgotten about Lisa Marie Presley! She must look back at the time as just a very strange dream...
Debbie, the children's biological mother, hasn't come up for air since she dove headfirst into the pile of money she got from MJ years ago.
Yeah, this is not good for Liz Taylor.
Corey Feldman: the mind boggles, truly.
Yeah, Joe Jackson is probably crying over his still-empty bank account. If MJ had had any money left, you'd see that family get REAL ugly. Uglier than they're gonna be anyway. Maybe Janet can adopt the kids. But please, not the grandparents!

Can Feldman go fuck himself? All this after he trash-talked Michael for a quick dollar and some attention for his talentless ass. Cocksucker!

Very nice thoughts from all of those celebrities, I hope they're genuine and not attention hogging.
I feel for the children because he won't be around to protect them. Michael wouldn't want us to be sad cuz n his religion he didn't believe n being attached to this world.
Madonna's old crypt keeper ass didn't cry. Bitch just put some eyedrops in her eyes. I don't she has enough liquid in her shriveled up body to cry.

Ah, yes the money. What Joe Jackson's dreams are made of. And he was willing to use and abuse his children in all ways to get it. I hope he doesn't know a moment's peace for the rest of his life.
I can't stop thinking about MJ's children.

Thank you for posting this MK...you are such a sweetheart
and for this moment only, I would love to believe that Madonna can cry..
that Corey? not so much.
Even that name - Michael Jackson ... it's a fairly common name, yet you knew exactly who ppl were talking about.
My grandpa was a lawyer. When he was in the last years of his life AND STILL WORKING, my mom and I went to his office to take him out to lunch. I walked into his office unannounced. He was talking to another lawyer and was saying, "Michael Jackson will be here to testify." I'll never forget, I said, "MICHAEL JACKSON? WOW! What kind of case is this?" Even my grandpa knew who Michael Jackson was because he watched TV at night. He said, "No, not that Michael Jackson - the other one." The other Michael Jackson was a British guy who's an expert on alcohol and has written books. My grandpa's client was a bar being sued for a guy's DWI accident. I was actually jazzed there for a minute.

Well, a'course Joe does! MJ was poised for a world tour -- recapturing fame! Think of the $$$$ he's lost out on! (Or at least the PR for commenting on it!)

My thoughts exactly!
Wow! Brooke looks so young and Michael looks so..well.. normal.
♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥~*~♥
I just watched the MK interview and I swear to the Goddess' of Lucite and Cutlets the minute he spoke unicorn kittens followed by rainbow glitter shot out my ass!!!
MJ didn't have a chance in hell of reaching old age. This man has been abused and haunted for most of his life solely for being talented. First by his father, then by his obsessed fans and the media. I can't help but draw a comparison to that episode of South Park where Spears and Cyrus were chosen as a human sacrifice for the annual corn harvest. MJ's faith was sealed from day one too. And now the mourners come.
BEN is THE BEST SONG. Well, that and when he busted out "Sit down girl!" in ABC...
Ok, this is sad and all, but I got one thing to ask: are people going to suddenly forget that he's been the punch line of every freak/pederast/horrible parent joke for about the last 15 years? Will these jokes be condemned from now on or once the mourning period ends, the jokes will come back? Honest question, not trying to be start anything here, just want your opinions!
