Moments after news broke that Michael Jackson had died, Flavor Flav showed up outside the Jackson family's Encino estate -- and sent his regards to Katherine Jackson via intercom.


Flav, who considered Jackson a great friend, wasn't allowed in -- but said he'd return later.

Really fawking embarrassing how these celebs want to now 'claim' him and think he was their greatest friend, after death. While he was alive I'm sure many of them were like, meh. People always wanting to attach themselves in time of notoriety. Freaks.

Do Gr'ers ever sleep?

Yes, he was a slimeball, but if musicians who did questionable shit were snatched of all their accolades, where would Jerry Lee Lewis, married his 13 year old cousin, Elvis, check Priscilla's age when he was mesmerized by her looks, and others be?

[ana-mish-ana]

The news here is just full blown Michael Jackson coverage even the BBC is at it.

About the Elephant Man's bones that is true! I was in the same hospital where the bones are held and MJ did enquire about buying his remains but didnt specify why. The hospital politely declined lol.

I also find it hilarious that MTV is actually playing music nonstop for the first time in ages. Its kind of sad seeing his early stuff and looking at the man that he became as well as all the molestation charges. I just think despite his musical legacy and no matter how much of the saintifying his image right now. Michael Jackson is going to be a tarnished figure especially when the stories and people are going to come out of the woodwork.

Blergh...I just read that 14 of his albums are in the top 20 on amazon.co.uk.

Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin was a major, major scandal that screwed his career. He never really came back from that. I believe Priscilla was legal when Elvis married her.

And thanks for the joke, Alley. Let's see how that one goes over.

I definitely misjudged the way people would react.Unless they're doing it to be photographed.I definitely pictured the tards and freaks to come out,but not all of this public mourning.20 years ago,maybe,but now...
