I've never believed for a moment that he's had "chin implants" or that he would have had wanted his nose to look so dented on purpose - the sides had started to look like they had collapsed a long time ago. So had he had more and more surgeries after the late 80s, you'd think he'd get especially the small hole-like bit on the other side of his nose somehow covered. It wouldn't have had required that much work.

They're gonna play the Michael/Freddie tracks!!

Michael Jackson AEG Hearing

August 21, 2009

A hearing on whether a tour of Michael Jackson's memorabilia will be approved will go forward without testimony from the singer's brother Randy.

Attorneys for Katherine Jackson, who opposes the deal struck with concert promoter AEG Live, said they will not call Randy Jackson. They will also not call concert promoter Leonard Rowe, who has been a critic of AEG.

The deal, valued at up to $6 million, has been stymied for weeks because of the objections from Mrs. Jackson, the King of Pop's mother.

The judge sealed the courtroom to hear testimony from several witnesses, including John Branca, a current administrator of Jackson's estate.

Michael Jackson's nephew, Taj, was expected to testify during Friday's hearing.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff is expected to rule on whether the proposed memorabilia tour — which AEG wants to open to coincide with a movie based on Jackson's final rehearsals — is a good deal for the singer's estate.


Mrs. Jackson has opposed the deal, saying it should have been competitively bid rather than offered exclusively to AEG. Her attorneys say more is at stake than money; they are concerned about Jackson's lasting legacy.

Kathy Jorrie, an attorney for AEG, expressed frustration Friday morning that Rowe was shown a confidential contract because he was originally listed as an expert witness by Mrs. Jackson, only to be withdrawn.

Jeez, this thread is entitled MJ RIP and peeps are still talking about cosmetic surgery and the tone of his skin.

harbars said:

I've ignored most of it, don't matter to me, lol

harbars said:

So what? We can't have an honest discussion about his skin disorder? Vitiligo has been a topic of interest since the first MJ RIP thread. There are a myriad of misperceptions and myths about his appearance.

Woo Hoo.\

Mickey Fine Pharmacy is getting raided.

the question is: will they play Victory? We already know the rest.

Timmy quoted The Temptations! Or Four Tops?

EmeraldSkies said:

it has to be in the past since he's dead.

graecophilos said:

Not that part, but they always say Michael was only popular or cool in the 80s even though he had a successful 40 year career

Timmy84 said:

That's why I quoted it. It's something you read very often, and it gets on my nerves. But for some, this is the ultimate excuse for anything.

This reaction shows these die-hard Jackson 'fans' are fooling themselves in the first place:
- Just because MJ or his doctors say he has vitiligo, doesnt make it the truth. He might have viligo, but that results in a mixture of black and white spots. Bleechhing himself entirely (unto his hands, feet and chest) has been his own choice.
- Get a grip please. You only call it a 'honest discussion' when you go along with the fables MJ presented to you. Nothing more hypocrite then people going along with his whiney excuses like: Oooh, i just haven't had more then 2 nosejobs: make it 30 or something, they had to glue his nose back on in the mortuartium.
- There are people here who keep defending some image of MJ they built up in their own fantasy, and based on that excuse others of misperceptions and dishonesty. Their common aspect: a lack of common sense, they are acting like 11 yo kids thinking Batman or Superman can save the world. First, why do you lose your common sense? second, where is your own dignity?

i was laughing my ass off when they put that picture of paris next to marks pasty daughter. who does he think he's fooling. i have never in my life NEVER seen two pale skinned white people give birth to a child thats 4 shades darker than both of them. its absurd. Even if you don't think mj is the father you have to admit prince and paris skin tone is at least somewhere in between michael and debbies and its a a lot more probable that he and debbie made those kids rather than debbie and mark or klein.

its the same thing with arnold klein.




out of the 3 kids he's the lightest and he's still darker than klein. and that picture was taken in the middle of December so "its a tan" my ass

You are truly a moron if you believe this.



Your problem is that you are just a mirror image of fans who see no fault in his actions. You refute so called fables with your own biased misinformation. The last 2 questions you should apply to yourself.

EmeraldSkies said:

yes. was.

Mike wasn't cool in the last years.

bboy87 said:

indeed, but he watered his career span via long-term breaks. You can easily say his career lasted 40 years, but he was away since 2002. And I don't count the years he kept a low profile coz of his worl like 1990/91, 1986.

bboy87 said:

Hmm.

We'll agree3 to disagree.

Michael of the 90's upward, has NOT been a role model or cool.

dag said:

i agree but i think he looks like michael too.

A.I. is my favorite NBA player, ever since he started playing with Philadelphia. This new video is sad, but not surprising. A few years ago I figured he may be a fan of Michael Jackson, after I saw this, lol:
