Either him or that Webster kid.

This can't be true, surely it would be all over the news by now?

Nobody wants to see Michael get married?

At least he would finally have some black children that hopefully would resemble him.

This is great news. They've been linked for awhile now.

Would be nice to have a mother figure in their family too.

I hope this isn't true.

The only woman good enough for Michael, in my eyes, is Lisa Marie Presley. They seemed truely happy back in 1995. I liked them together. Maybe it was PR, but I still held out hope of 2 things:

1)It was real
2)They would somehow end up back together

I know back in like 97 when he was married, or about to married to Debbie Rowe, he was seen with Lisa Marie, holding her hand, kissing her with his "mask" on. Here is a pic:



There were also some pics, showing her kissing him with his "mask" on. If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can probably find them if I look harder.

I guess I'm kind of Pollyanna when it comes to my views on Michael and his personal life. I always viewed Lisa Marie, as the wild girl, who Michael somehow tamed and morphed into June Cleaver.

This picture really makes my heart happy:


If only it would have lasted.

I'll still be the champion for them to get back together, through it all.
Grace No
Lisa Yes
Enough said.

Bubbles died right?

JasonStar said:

It didn't even really begin

JasonStar said:

OH NO....I still can't stand Lisa. I ain't too fond of Debbie either but she's from the trailer park so I can't fault her for that. Michael just needs someone who can ground him and make him focused, but Lisa sho ain't that someone.

Grace seems to care for him so that's a good thing. He needs a person who's geniuine....and she's a sista so that's a plus:)

Wouldn't it be hilarious if they go through with the insemination and they give her a white man's sperm and he has more white children?

Not sure, but he could have.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That's what they did the first time. No way Michael's the father of those kids.

Even if he has a skin disease *COUGHBIGFATLIECOUGH* his DNA celluloid structure is still black and while it is possible for the children to take on the characteristics of one parent, there isn't a shred of evidence of blackness on thos kids. Black is some dominant ass shit and would have shown up on at least one of those kids. Are there pics circulating of blanket? I've only seen the older 2 and they are as white as white can be. They are even whiter than their own mother! I can't believe people still believe in and defend Michael Jackson.

HELL F-N YEAH!!

but mj does have vertiligo (sic)... he just went to the extreme and went overboard with the bleaching and the white makeup...

sosgemini said:

vitilligo or vitiligo. I can't remember if it's one or two L's. This all sounds very interesting. This site doesn't seem to have much credibility, what with the "Quincy Jones with the arab teen" type stories, but from the info it sounds as if Grace is very controlling and therefore, not right for him. I mean Michael needs someone in his life with the ability to stop him from making stupid decisions, but having to get permission to speak to your blood relative from his fiance? That's a bit much. It's probably all BS anyways so, whatever.

I do hope that Michael learns to become a well adjusted human being and have a loving marriage or relationship some day.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the name "blanket" nevermind the rest.

LleeLlee said:

I agree. That's shit is weird even if it is a nickname.

sosgemini said:

I have known many people with that condition and not one of them, NOT ONE ever had it spread to their entire body. Can we get someone to google up the rates at which this disease takes over the skin on a person's entire body? i'm too damn lazy right now

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a disorder in which white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. This happens because the cells that make pigment (color) in the skin are destroyed. These cells are called melanocytes (ma-LAN-o-sites). Vitiligo can also affect the mucous membranes (such as the tissue inside the mouth and nose) and the eye.

What Causes Vitiligo?

The cause is not known. Vitiligo may be an autoimmune disease. These diseases happen when your immune system mistakenly attacks some part of your own body. In vitiligo, the immune system may destroy the melanocytes in the skin. It is also possible that one or more genes may make a person more likely to get the disorder.

Some researchers think that the melanocytes destroy themselves. Others think that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress can cause vitiligo. But these events have not been proven to cause vitiligo.

Who is Affected by Vitiligo?

In the United States, 2 to 5 million people have the disorder. Most people with vitiligo develop it before their 40th birthday. The disorder affects all races and both sexes equally.

People with certain autoimmune diseases (such as thyroid disease) are more likely to get vitiligo than people who don't have any autoimmune diseases. Scientists do not know why vitiligo is connected with these diseases. However, most people with vitiligo have no other autoimmune disease.

Vitiligo may also run in families. Children whose parents have the disorder are more likely to develop vitiligo. However, most children will not get vitiligo even if a parent has it.

What Are the Symptoms of Vitiligo?

White patches on the skin are the main sign of vitiligo. These patches are more common in areas where the skin is exposed to the sun. The patches may be on the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches are:

The armpits and groin (where the leg meets the body)
Around the mouth
Eyes
Nostrils
Navel
Genitals.

People with vitiligo often have hair that turns gray early. Those with dark skin may notice a loss of color inside their mouths.

Will the White Patches Spread?

There is no way to tell if vitiligo will spread. For some people, the white patches do not spread. But often the white patches will spread to other areas of the body. For some people, vitiligo spreads slowly, over many years. For other people, spreading occurs quickly. Some people have reported more white patches after physical or emotional stress.

How is Vitiligo Diagnosed?

The doctor will use a family and medical history, physical exam, and tests to diagnose vitiligo. The doctor may ask questions such as:

Do you have family members with vitiligo?
Do you or family members have any autoimmune diseases?
Did you have a rash, sunburn, or other skin problem before the white patches appeared?
Did you have some type of stress or physical illness?
Did your hair turn gray before age 35?
Are you sensitive to the sun?

The doctor will do a physical exam to rule out other medical problems.

Tests might include:

Taking a small sample (biopsy) of the affected skin to be examined
Blood tests
An eye exam.

How is Vitiligio Treated?

Treatment may help make the skin look better. The choice of treatment depends on:

The number of white patches
How widespread the patches are
The treatment the person prefers to use.

Some treatments are not right for everyone. Many treatments can have unwanted side effects. Treatments can take a long time, and sometimes they don't work.

Current treatment options for vitiligo include medical, surgical, and other treatments. Most treatments are aimed at restoring color to the white patches of skin.

Medical treatments include:

Medicines (such as steroid creams) that you put on the skin
Medicines that you take by mouth
A treatment that uses medicine plus ultraviolet A (UVA) light (PUVA)
Removing the color from other areas so they match the white patches.

Surgical treatments include:

Skin grafts from a person's own tissues. The doctor takes skin from one area of a patient's body and attaches it to another area. This is sometimes used for people with small patches of vitiligo.
Tattooing small areas of skin.

Other treatments include:

Sunscreens
Cosmetics, such as makeup or dye, to cover the white patches
Counseling and support.

What Can People do to Cope with Vitiligo?

When you have vitiligo, you may be upset or depressed about the change in your appearance. There are several things you can do to cope with the disorder:

Find a doctor who knows how to treat vitiligo. The doctor should also be a good listener and be able to provide emotional support.

Learn about the disorder and treatment choices. This can help you make decisions about your treatment.

Talk with other people who have vitiligo. A vitiligo group can help you find a support group (check your local listings). Family and friends are another source of support.

Some people with vitiligo have found that cosmetics that cover the white patches improve their appearance and help them feel better about themselves. A person may need to try several brands of concealing cosmetics before finding the product that works best.

What Research is Being Done on Vitiligo?

Research on vitiligo has increased in recent years. A large study of families with vitiligo is looking for genes that might cause the disorder. Researchers continue to look for the causes of and new treatments for vitiligo.

Why is the hell would Michael marry one of Jermaine's leftovers? THIS is totally against the principles of brotherhood.

And this is nasty!!!

TonyVanDam said:

This is his brother's ex wife!?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Oops! My bad. She is one of Jermaine's ex-lovers.

But that's still nasty if Michael married her.

carlcranshaw said:

oh Christ!

TonyVanDam said:

Why? Jermaine and Randy had that "Uncle Daddy" thing happening with their uh, wife, wives? So if MJ does it they can expand that uncle/daddy/brother thing.

Prince sang "I wanna be your mother and your sister too." But these guys topped him.

It seems that the gossip rags are trying to spin what they are not sure of. They did the same thing with MJ and LM's marriage.The tabloids didn't want to take into account that Michael and Lisa had been having a relationship well before their marriage.Damn, she divorced her husband,Danny Keough, in order to marry Michael. I guess it fits the media's purpose to have any personal relationship of Michael to be negative. That is the very reason that he tries to keep his personal life private. Someone will always try to turn it into negativity. Grace has been there for Michael and his children FOREVER. It would be great if they DID get married.
