What do you think about whats going on with current events? I mean with the search warrant and now the warrant for Michael Jacksons arrest? It was going to happen sooner or later.
I'm hearing stuff about wine and sleeping pills . not looking good
It's not looking good for Michael. I heard that they want him to turn himself in and surrender his passport. Bail is already set a three million dollars.
When someone with money is involved in this kind of thing it always confuses the issue because of the blackmail aspect. I know the last time he paid the accusers to go away.
This guy is still a mystery to me. There are definitely some people who make accusations about wealthy stars just to become famous and to get some money. On the other hand, there are some really sick people in the world. Michael Jackson is certainly NOT a normal person. Whether he is a child molestor remains to be seen. Either way, he should just go away and leave us all alone.

Haven't really been paying attention. I know he's in trouble again but..not much other than that
also, this time he won't be able to pay off the accuser before the trail
I bet he'll never serve time. Even robert downey jr. got to leave jail to make movies. How many other people serving time in prison get leave to work? How many grown men can admit they sleep with children and don't get arrested? The rich and powerful, and he was getting too much of a powertrip in that nevercantouchmeranch of his. What parents would let their kids stay there? But regardless of who he is..it's not normal for a grown man living alone to have children stay with him without parental supervision, and stay in his quarters. People always want to give the rich and powerful the benefit of the doubt..sometimes people are just sick, and being in that position gives them the power to continue
I wish he would go to the big house..then maybe HE would be someone's b***h for a change. pardon my french

Michael could be Martha's b***h! That would be justice!
Yeah, that is very weird, sleeping with young boys (even if nothing sexual is happening). And it was only boys, not girls he had over. Why would parents let their kids stay over with him, especially after those charges from 10 years ago? And wouldn't his handlers have told Michael that this had to stop?
On the other hand, I do have some pity for MJ. He never had a childhood or a normal life, he was always in the spotlight (when he wasn't getting whipped by dear old dad.)
It's no wonder he turned out a freak. Yet another child star gone wrong.
His career is effectively over, fans will tolerate drug abuse, theft (at least shoplifting) even, to an extent, murder and rape (Tyson still had something of a career after his conviction) but child molestation is the ultimate no-no.
Michael, you should have mowed down some pedestrians while high on Oxycontin after having stolen some jewelry.
Interesting coincidence:
Jackson arrested yesterday, and Phil Spector arrainged for Lana Clarkson's murder on the same day. What do they have in common? Jackson outbid his (then) friend Paul McCartney for the Beatles catalog (and subsequently starting whoring Beatle tunes to advertisers), and Phil Spector produced Let It Be, which Paul has since redone without Phil's lush overproduction.
Moral: Don't f**k with the Beatles, or at least don't f**k with Paul McCartney.
I think the parents of all those kids should receive the same sentence that Michael gets on the grounds of sheer stupidity.
I just don't know.....
I loved his music (I'm not afraid to admit that, so many people won't), but he really crossed the line.
Take someone like Prince, who is wierd, but artistically wierd. He's very talented, clearly dances to his own drum, and can fit in to society.
Michael Jackson is just plain WIERD wierd!!!
The plastic surgery, the skin color, the sham marriage and the obsession with little boys is just too bizarre to comprehend. While geniuses are often misunderstood, there are a few rules they must adhere to, just like anyone else.
If he did indeed molest someone (not a huge surprise to me if he did), he deserves to pay the same price that anyone else would. Chances are, he'll find a way out of it. Last time it was $15-$24 million to keep the kid quiet? looks like that isn't an option this time....
If he DOES got to prison, that is a regular prison where anyone else convicted of child molestation would go, I doubt he will survive long. Therefore, a conviction is essentially a death sentence.
There's a real dilemma here...because he cannot get separate treatment just because of who is, or how much money he has. Yet when the State puts a person in prison, they accept responsibility for that person's welfare.
In either case, no matter what happens, this is yet another sad set of circumstances, for all involved, with no happy ending. Our society seems to be breeding situations like this daily.
Do you really think a convict in prison will try to kill michael when he could just sue him for something? ;-)
People who are apt to be singled out by other prisoners tend to get put in "protective custody"; essentially they are put in solitary. Especially after that one priest-- Gehegan? who was killed recently after being convicted of pedophilia, I'm sure that any prison warden would put Michael off by himself.
I can't help thinking of the video for Thriller; "I'm not like other boys..."
While I do admit that he is extremely bizarre, I honestly don't think he molested anyone.
I believed him 10 years ago and I do now.
Tonight on the news, they said something about the cops having found X-rated love letters he wrote to his accuser....
