I hope you get through it OK

aw dayum. with blanket's mom's identity a secret can you imagine how many crazy ass Hos gonna come out of the woodwork claiming to be the child's momma?

DesireeNevermind said:

N according to california law Debbie can get custody of the first 2. Its gonna become a circus.

lazycrockett said:

Won't she have to assume responsibilty for the debt then too?

lazycrockett said:

yeah Debbie is set unless Katherine and the family put up a fight which is quite likely. But that last kid I can see it now. just like them two y chromosome idiots fighting over who was Dannielynn's daddy.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Nope cuz she divorced him back before he had all that monstrous debt. the kids don't owe anything.

DesireeNevermind said:

What's going to be even grosser is when the real mom comes out of the woodwork looking for her 15 minutes of fame professing her love and devotion when she aint been there this whole time

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

All of this is what makes Michael's story so sad. You just KNOW that this is going to happen. So many opportunist coming from the sewers just to get some money or God knows what else. It's a damn shame.

DesireeNevermind said:

Come to think of it, I haven't heard a word from Debbie bet someone is talking to the lawyers.

purplecam said:

we shouldn't forget that it was MJ that very likely demanded the absence but what kind of woman does that?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Likewise, like I said earlier, people will handle it differently. I know you're gonna through the motions, Cinnamon.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I always wondered that. That's a sick to do that kind of thing to your child, IMO.

lazycrockett said:

news reports are saying she has a lawyer already working to get the kids for her or some shit.

Watching the whole Bad video on MTV. Never seen the whole thing. I'm wondering and laughing about the fact that Prince was supposed to be on the song with Mike.

Paris9748430 said:

I still wish that Prince and Michael would have worked on something together. That might not have been the right song but something would have been great.

Paris9748430 said:

does anyone know for a fact if that story of Prince sending MJ a box full of twigs leaves and hair is true? Like some voodoo shit

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

See how crazy these rumors start?

I doubt that ever happened.

Timmy84 said:

I want it to be true so bad

DesireeNevermind said:

I can understand how Debbie would be concerned, but she gave up her parental rights to her children. From what I have gathered, her health is very bad as well.

Either way those children will not go lacking!!!

But there is a california law that was created with the same sort of parameters in place. The judge ruled on the side of the biological mother over the grandparents.

I'm shocked RIP Michael Jackson hopefully he'll find peace at last poor man

Tina Turner released a statement



"Music legend Tina Turner tells Spinner that she is reacting to the death of fellow music icon Michael Jackson much like millions around the world.

"I am shocked and saddened by Michael's passing," Turner tells Spinner. "I, along with his millions of fans, looked forward to seeing him tour one more time. Now, may he rest in peace'

The Game, Diddy, Chris Brown and more have joined forces to pay tribute to iconic singer Michael Jackson with the tribute-based song "Better On The Other Side."

Paying homage to the memory of Jackson, the trio are also joined by the likes of Mario Winans and Boyz II Men.

"You're Michael Jackson, I'm Michael Jackson," Game raps. "We all Michael Jackson, I guess what I'm asking, is everybody bow their head for a legend/Don't breathe for a second, now let air out, grab the hand of somebody you care about/So you can hear my message, hear my confession/Everybody tell Usher, I seen a moonwalk/Guess the young Thriller touched him/He touched me, like he touched you." ("Better On The Other Side")
Diddy is also heard on the track bigging up Jackson.

"People can say what they want about you," Puff says. "We gonna remember the miracles you showed us, through your music, through your hands...You're the one that made us all realize, we are the world. You were the one who showed us the moonwalk. You gave us the beat, you gave us the rhythm. You gave us the soul. Through us, your legacy lives on." ("Better On The Other Side")
50 Cent released his version of a tribute on "Where You Are" which featured the G-Unit leader trading bars with a young Jackson.

"They say I ain't lyrical, they say I ain't a miracle," 50 raps. "I say some hard sh*t, then they say I ain't spiritual/They act like they know God better than me, I know God a lod, I used to pump crack up the street...N*gga you ain't ever gonna see me in the hood, f*ck that sh*t, n*gga I'm too good/Run and go tell 50's boogee, don't buy his CDs, don't go see his movies/Don't act like you used to in juvie, on that medication, that n*gga be looney...Can it be I've been away too long/I've been away man, did you forget me? I'm back baby, I'm back...Oh, I'm in Southside, this is that sh*t right here." ("Where You Are (MJ Tribute)")
Diddy also wrote via Twitter to express the impact Jackson has on his life.

"Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat," Diddy wrote. "He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!" (Diddy's Twitter)

Like Vainandy said, I wish this would shock shit hop to its senses.

I'm gonna say this and then I'll be done

****

Being almost 22 years old, I didn't get to experience Michael during his "peak" years but I did get to experience everything from 1990 onwards

In my opinion, there was NO brighter star than Michael Joesph Jackson to me.I love James Brown, I love Prince, and I love Stevie, but Michael, from the day I heard Human Nature at the age of 3, has been part of my life and my heart. I remember watching the videos when they premiered, listening to the albums non stop, rejoicing when the 2005 verdict came. There will never be another Michael Jackson

I can't really listen to the music and watch the videos that have been such an important part of my life, the singer...the dancer....the writer...the person I've become. I've made friends for the simple fact we were fans. That was a beautiful thing about Michael. He WANTED people to come together and enjoy themselves through his work, he wanted to bring people of different races, creeds, and backgrounds together. That kind of quality is surely missing in this day of "artists"

Today, I can't listen to his work without feeling such a huge feeling of sorrow and emptiness, yet relief

Relief because he doesn't have to deal with the crap that the world threw at him anymore and the vultures who were constantly trying to get him. But sorrow and emptiness because the world does feel a bit more empty, a bit less happy, a bit less together....a bit less musical without Michael Jackson

Today is really the first day of my life without Michael Jackson and although the tears have stopped (temporarily....), the feeling of loss yet respect and rememberance lingers


I lost my favorite artist. I lost one of my biggest inspirations in my life, I lost my hero



I lost my dear friend


Michael Jackson 1958-2009


.....now excuse why I go cry again...

My signature should answer NastradumasKid's question better than anything else.

Michael/Prince/Madonna are 3 pop culture icons than knows what it feels like to wake up every day within the 21st century knowing that most of the current young generation of artists grew up on their music/songs/videos and wanting to be them to some degree.

And there is plenty of clones & wannabes out there that are perfect examples of this fact.

The Mayor of Gary wants Mj buried there.
