Correct me if I'm wrong,but I think Janet appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell show in 2001,just before the release of her 'All For You' album.It wasn't until a few years later that Rosie called MJ a "pedeofile".She had seen him at a party and refused to speak to him.Before this,her feelings about MJ were unknown (I think).I doub that Janet would have appeared on her show if she had known about those vicious comments about her brother.

Who would want to appear on such crappy cheap TV shows like roise,the view, ellen,tyra ..etc, and yeah, Janet would never appear if she knew about those comments , she has always been supportive to MJ, I hate those silly TV shows.

yeah 'Ellen' is great.Her show is fun and intriguing.She asks interesting questions.I think artists truly enjoy going on her show.

b/c i can't stand oprah and only saw snippets of the interview, i can't totally vouch for my memory, but i could have sworn mj stated in her interview that he often had slumber parties with the little cancer patients that came to the ranch. if that sort of thing was so wrong, why didn't she call him out then?

i don't think projecting her experiences with abuse onto mj is an excuse for her to bash him. she could have invited him onto the show and given him a forum to further explain, like geraldo did, especially since she had been to neverland and had to know it wasn't the house of horrors bashir and the prosecutors had made it out to be. she could have been a woman about it and told her feelings to mj's face.

but then again, i don't expect much from her.

If Oprah doesn't do right by this show, she will be on my permanent shit list!

nope.

from a 2005 cbs news link:

After the 1993 child molestation allegations, it became more than weird. To some, it was damning.

Rosie O'Donnell, a frequent Jackson critic, scoffed at the idea that Jackson could be innocent in a 1994 interview with The Los Angeles Times: “They say that about priests; they say that about people's fathers and their brothers and the elementary schoolteacher and the soccer coach. They say it about every man who is accused ... Wake up.”
http://www.cbsnews.com/st...age2.shtml

imdb lists janet as having appeared on her show in feb 98, mar 01, and feb 02. as you can see from the cbs link, rosie had been popping off about mj from at least '94. but you know...it's just business, right. and i believe the full story is that mj wanted to speak to rosie at liza and david's wedding in early 2002 and that's when she said she refused to speak with him because she didn't speak to pedophiles. is it possible that he wanted to ask her about her attitude towards him?

on edit: you can't make me believe that janet was unaware of rosie's attitude toward her brother. but for me it also raises a question for oprah and rosie - if you believe mj was such a predator, why have the predator's sibling on your show where you're laughing and joking and shit, unless you're going to confront them about why they're so supportive of said predator? see, again, i don't think i could be in the entertainment business in that phony capacity.

WOW! I didn't know that Rosie has been dissing MJ for that long.

I'll never forget when MJ did that radio interview with Jesse Jackson and Oprah hadn't even HEARD it, yet completely passed judgement on him. The part where Michael said he was drawing strength and inspiration from people like Nelson Mandela, and then Oprah jumped up and said he was COMPARING himself to Mandela. Bitch hadn't even heard the interview and she was judging him like everyone else.

I remember her slagging off Janet about 2 weeks after her interview with her as well - this was back when her show was actually broadcast over here. She mistook Vanity 6's Nasty Girl for Janet's Nasty and again, passed judgement on the Jacksons being a bad influence on children.

Well rosie did say this after his death.
"So now the crowds gather
Endless tributes
The kind of love and adoration he seemed to crave
And he is not here to feel any of it
Breaks my heart in every way
For his children
For the child he was
For the dreams he tried to live up to"

when and where exactly did she say this

On her official blog at www.rosie.com

She wrote a long blog after MJ's death.It's from several weeks ago,so you have to search for it.It's not as "harsh" as you would expect it to be.

say it loud and clear one more time. like i think it was 50 cent who said something rude about michael a couple years ago but the DAY after he passed he announces he's making some tribute song.

i mean DAMN people couldn't show michael just a little but of the love he's getting now just 3 months ago. people took advantage of him being here and expected him to be around forever to ridicule, GOD some people honestly make me sick

Don't ask me where I heard this but I heard they fucked once.

i remember that too, ellie. mj was not even close to comparing himself to any of those people.

i recall that the poster at the other board wondered why janet was attending the 'black female legends'(?) thing oprah was giving when it was clear oprah had nothing but contempt for her brother, and as i said i was the only one who also questioned janet's integrity on that score.

on edit: i wonder what she had to say about mandela's letter to the jackson family, offering his condolences at mj's death and praising mj? she's supposed to be so close to mandela, right? what does she have to say about his apparent high regard for mj? does she think mandela would be praising a child molester? oprah is a f***ing idiot.

what did 50 say?

Didn't Michael and 50 Cent have plans to work together? They may have recorded a song together.
