And I haven't read this whole thread obvs, so not sure if it has been said or not, but MJ's own attorney has basically come out and said that this was drug related......just saying.

That's not his attorney. He was Randy Jackson's divorce attorney. That's what I saw on the news.

Are you getting commissions for the tickets you sell on the One Way Ticket to Hell bus?

Evil, twitchy! Evil.

That is a benefit..IF you liked his videos,lol. But yes, music channels playing music is a nice change.

More Fark goodness:

FirstNationalBastard: Well, we've finally answered the age old question...

Just who do you have to kill to get MTV to play some actual music videos?

Party-sized bucket of flan: He'll be fondling angels in heaven now.

The_Sponge: Years from now, my children will ask me, "Where were you when Michael Jackson died?"

"On the internet with a bunch of strangers, making snarky comments."

SilentStrider: you say that like there's any place else worth being.

gregscott: does RIP mean "Roast in Perdition"? Because if it doesn't, there are more than a few seriously confused farkers here.

cowgirl toffee: I need to do something to honor his death.
Tonight, I will dangle a small child over a balcony.

geedavey: "the funk of 40,000 years" starts....NOW.

I have a confession: This morning I put on an MJ mix and busted a move or two while I was getting ready for work. I'm so ashamed.

I'm sure she is - her paychecks will have stopped.

EXCLUSIVE: 'EastEnders' films Michael Jackson reference

Friday, June 26 2009, 15:09 BST
By Kris Green, Soaps Editor

BBC soap EastEnders has filmed a last-minute scene to be edited into tonight's episode referencing Michael Jackson's death, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.
A scene towards the beginning of the episode will see Denise Wicks (Diane Parish) wish her surrogate father Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) a happy birthday, before mentioning the sad news of Jackson's passing.
The show will also contain a track from the King Of Pop playing in the background of a scene elsewhere in the episode.
EastEnders' executive producer Diederick Santer said: "There are some news stories and events which get everyone talking, and this is one of them. Given the quick turnaround, it's only a small scene, but I hope it reflects to some extent the impact Michael Jackson's death has had."
Over the years, EastEnders has filmed several last-minute topical scenes and edited them into episodes on the day of transmission.
The last occasion saw Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) reference Barack Obama's election as America's first black President to daughter Stacey (Lacey Turner).
In addition, a number of football references have also been added, with Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) and Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves) citing West Ham victories and the World Cup.
A spokesperson for the show confirmed: "We will be making a reference in tonight's episode to Michael Jackson's death. We always aim to reflect topical events that we think will strike a chord with our audience and have previously filmed additional scenes including the election of Barack Obama and England's participation in the World Cup."
The three other major UK soaps - Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - all confirmed to DS that no last-minute editing will be made to tonight's episodes.

For fucks sake even Eastenders is going to reference this

I confess, I have played two of my fave MJ songs, State of Shock, both versions, and PYT and been doing the old dance routines to them.

All it did was make me feel old. Can't move like a kid anymore.

ana-mish-ana · June 26th, 2009, 10:50 AM

I was listening to MTV as well and I feel guilty but PYT and Rock With you is definitely two of my favourite tracks

Greys, I grooved to him in rush hour all the way to work. He was on every station, even singing in espanol on the latin channel.

Oh baby give me one more chance!!!!!

Something tells me he paid her quite well to give him full custody of his blanket & other two kids. Those kids must have lived such a strange life.

ana-mish-ana · June 26th, 2009, 10:56 AM

I think Blanket was by a different mother. The latest reports suggest that Michael's mother is going to bring up the kids.

Too much nose. The tide needs to come in and wash some of it away.

Ok...I admit I watched "Beat It" when they showed it on the local Fox station. I always loved the group dance at the end. BUT I want to make one thing clear...I did NOT bust any moves.

I had one of his albums, way back when. Can't remember the title, but it was the one with Man in the Mirror on it. Best housecleaning music ever!

Oh that's just perfect..she didn't screw up her own kids enough did she.....

His poor kids need a chance to somehow live a normal life w/o shocking the shit out of them.

^^Wait a minute.. Joe fucked up those kid's life. Google is your friend...

Katherine Jackson can't care for them on her own. I read that she is the only family member that they're familiar with, and see on a regular basis..and that they love her. I also heard that Debbie Rowe signed something back in 05 to assuring she'll never have custody of her two kids. Blanket's mom was an anonymous surrogate...

Maybe Rebi, Tito, or Janet can care for them..allowing them to see their grandmother, often.
