It wasn't meant that way. I think his two older children resemble him in his later years and Prince II looks like him as a child. They are all beautiful children. May God watch over them.

This is more respectable. Fuck US magazine and NE and Globe and SUN and all the other shit rags.

Now THAT looks familiar!

Haha, so no one thinks thats Madonna?

DesireeNevermind said:

I got the Entertainment Weekly cover with a picture from the "Thriller" sessions, the one where he is smiling and has his hands on the hips.

Arnotts said:

It was a drawing of a boy so I don't know how one would think that was Madonna.

Timmy84 said:

I do remember that-he was very respectful when JB died.

Arnotts said:

Nahh.. I never thought that was Madonna. That never crossed my mind.

nurseV said:

I remember getting upset he wasn't there at the funeral but when I heard what he HAD done, I decided not to pass too much judgment on how he handled it.

I think it's interesting how the burial/cremation/disposition of Michaels's remains are now the hot topic

nurseV said:

You noticed that too?

Timmy84 said:

That's how I looked at it too and even now-I may be disappointed thinking Prince didn't send out any condolences and I may be wrong. It is not my place to judge.

Timmy84 said:

I'm glad his family did whatever they did in private. The man's final resting place should be private-if it wasn't he would never be at peace

Timmy84 said:

The top right picture

DesireeNevermind said:

I like this one from Canada

Arnotts said:

Nope, lol

suga10 said:

what makes you say that? because she's the 2nd most recognizable member of the family?

i think she'd probably be my LAST choice. and it's not a knock on her at all. she still has a career as a celebrity. the kids don't need that. they need the exact opposite of that now. she's unmarried. she has no other children. taking on 2 teenagers and a 7 year old is probably not a good idea for someone who's never been a mother before.

So he was using Diprivan BEFORE, Arnie?

Doctor: Michael Jackson Was an Addict
Long-Term Dermatologist Says Jackson Battled Addiction, Used Aesthetic To Sleep; Dodges Paternity Question

(CBS) A long-time dermatologist and friend of Michael Jackson told CNN's Larry King that the singer battled drug addiction, and that he advised him it was "absolutely insane" to use Diprivan, an anesthetic as a sleep aid.

"Michael at one time had an addiction," Dr. Arnold Klein told King. "He went to England and withdrew from that addiction in a secure setting where he went off drugs all together."

Klein said that he knew that while Jackson was on tour in Germany, he was using Diprivan, with the help of an anesthesiologist, to go to sleep at night.

"I told him he was absolutely insane," Klein said. "This isn't a drug you can repeatedly take."

When King asked Klein how he thinks Jackson obtained the anesthetic, Klein replied, "The rich and famous can by anything they want to buy."

Klein saw Jackson the Monday before he died, and said that the King of Pop was dancing in his office.

"He was in very good physical condition," Klein said. "He was mentally aware when we saw him and in a very good mood."

The dermatologist was helping Jackson "rebuild his face" ( ) before his fall tour.

"He had severe acne scarring and scarring from a lot of the cosmetic surgery," Klein said. "He looked much more normal … the way he looked at his face, he wanted it to be absolutely perfect."

King asked why Jackson, as an attractive young man, wanted to have so much plastic surgery.

"I don't know why he started," Klein said. "Family members had made fun of the size of his nose. He was very sensitive to that."

King asked Klein if he was the sperm donor for Jackson's three children.

"Here's the most important thing: Michael loved those children as a father … I'm not going to answer that the way you want. The most important is who the father is, who the children want their father to be … how he loved them and they loved him." (Alright, Arnie, I like this better than that "not to my knowledge" shit, lol)

maybe it's just my mood at the moment, but at the almost 2-week mark, i'm becoming kind of numb to the "Death Of Michael Jackson."

I continue to listen to and cherish the music, and I haven't watched very much of the television coverage at all in the last 2 weeks. But only a day after so much of the human side of Michael was revealed for the first time in a long time (if ever) at his memorial service, I can feel that it's already fleeting and he's turning back into the detached, super-critical, clinical abstract concept of mega-celebrity rather than the man/musician.

But I guess that's sort of the point of funerals. Closure... and moving on.

damn I miss the eighties.

But see that's what is so different about his (and Elvis' and Marilyn's) deaths. When they die, they have a day of normalcy then it goes back to the craziness that their celebrity attracted. That's why you still get wild stories about Elvis & Marilyn. It won't stop with Mike, trust me.
