Thanks for starting a part 3 because I could barely type on the part 2 thread because it was so slow.

Audio slideshow: Michael Jackson - man and music
Fans and contemporaries have been paying tribute to the king of pop - who has died at the age of 50. But what did Michael Jackson think of his own life and career?

Here - with the help of his music, and archive images from the days of the Jackson Five to the present - he reflects on his own vulnerabilities.

MJ

I was about to post the "leaked autopsy report" I came across, but now are ppl sayin that it's not authentic and it's from thesun.co.uk (which they're also sayin is not a reliable source).

Reported Jackson Autopsy -- A Fake

http://www.tmz.com/2009/0...rt-a-fake/

We've learned the story making the rounds detailing the terrible condition of Michael Jackson's body is a fake.

A report in The Sun gave harrowing details of the body, but we've learned the "autopsy
report" was fabricated and completely false.

I'm glad there is a Part 3 cause I can't read all that right now . I've been listening to a lot of MJ all weekend. I'm listening to all of Invincible for the first time since 2001 right now as I type. The one feeling that I kept feeling aside from joy and sadness was regret. I stopped being a die-hard MJ fan around 1991-1992. I remained a fan of his, just with a lot less enthusiasm but yet I've felt guilty for looking down at MJ throughout the years. I allowed his personal life to stop me from focusing mainly on the music. I said early in the previous threads that I have my opinions about the stuff that made news with him after 1993 but I shouldn't have allowed it to affect me the way that I did. If I could give Prince a pass, why not Michael? Now I admit that the music wasn't hitting me the way that it did in the 80's but I could have enjoyed it more and given it more of a chance than I did. I'm glad that I started to enjoy his music more in the last year but I wish that I could have enjoyed it that much more in the 90's and most of the decade, even though all we got was Invincible. In any event, I'm glad that I have it and I'm glad that I was and still am a MJ fan. I've shed my tears over him already and now I am enjoying his music again, remembering why I became a MJ fan when I was 4 yrs old 26 years ago. He left us with so much music and I am grateful for that. That music was unique and amazing. I hope what I said made some sense and thanks for reading.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

LondonStyle, the question "did prince make a statement yet?" means, 'did prince make a statement regardin Michael's passin?'

The new issue of Newsweek devotes less than 8 pages to Michael for $6.95 per copy. Time's commemorative edition cost only $5.99, contains no ads and is a 66-page "thriller" of rare photos, interviews and analysis. I bought 2 copies this morning around 6 AM at the local newsstand.

What sucks is that there is going to be more of these "fake" reports coming out. Why would these people do all of this without getting all of the facts first? It's pathetic.

Michael Jackson Jokes Cut From 'Bruno' Movie
June 29
Link


The sudden death of Michael Jackson on Thursday prompted a series of discussions at Universal Pictures that resulted in the studio cutting a Jackson-related sketch from "Bruno" only hours before its Los Angeles premiere.

Uni removed a scene in which Bruno, the flamboyant Austrian journalist played by Sacha Baron Cohen, interviews an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson about a number of topics, including her brother.

Among the gags is a joke about the King of Pop's high-pitched voice, as well as a reference to his trademark white glove, all done in Baron Cohen's characteristically absurdist tone.

The scene played at press screenings earlier in the week, where it did not stand out as unusually outrageous in the context of Baron Cohen's other antics.

But after Jackson's death on Thursday, the studio and filmmakers decided to remove the scene for the premiere screening out of sensitivity to the Jackson family. The film now cuts directly from Baron Cohen's gonzo interview with Paula Abdul to a focus-group for his faux reality show.

Still, because many critics attended those earlier showings, its content could make its way into reviews. Indeed, removing the scene in a way calls more attention to it, though the studio clearly wanted to avoid even the perception of poor taste at any cost.

"We decided to take it out for tonight, and we'll reassess before the release whether to keep it out," said director Larry Charles at the premiere's afterparty. A spokesperson for Universal also confirmed that it had not come to any decision on future showings.

In a sense today's move was the easy part. The studio is going wide with the film in two weeks, and cutting the scene from every print could be a laborious and expensive process.

It's rare that a studio changes a movie in post because of current events, though in a slightly different vein, studios pushed back the release of films such as "Spider-Man" in the wake of Sept. 11.
