News Corp UK tabloid, The Sun, made up the autopsy about MJ being 112 lbs, bald and without food in his stomach. they only thing Murdoch's Brits got right was MJs age, and thats an accomplishment.

[flapjack]

I really don't care one or another about MJ. But I am curious as to how you know News Corp made it all up.

[Knowitall]

Because the coroners office and Michaels current personal trainer Lou Ferrigno said it wasn't true. I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to know that most of these news organizations pull their information out of their..............rear ends.

Most celebrities know that. A few have sued--and won. But the news media counts on the fact that most celebrities will not sue because it's not worth the expense and sensationalism. But celebrities don't hesitate to say whenever they can that most of those stories are total lies--made up out of thin air--complete fiction. I believe that.

[Bude]

Knock it off! This story is not about the autopsy, and you know it.

[Jazzman323]

At the televised interview of Joe Jackson on the red carpet at the BET Awards, he sounded like he was more concerned about his new record label and the vault of MJ songs, and the status of Michael as the King of Pop, than about Michael's death. Kind of wierd.

[Actionmac]

Not weird, just what Michael and the family had to deal with. Mike not being able to deal with his father's indifference toward him made his behavior strange.

God please let the story be true, Joe being the biological father does NOT entitle him to any portion of Mike's estate. Nor does he deserve it. Joe a real POS.

This is called taking up a lot of space and time to be truly silly.

[Grannysue]

You don't have to wonder why if anyone caught a little of that so called news confrence with Al sharpton and Michael's Dad, the guy spent the whole time pimping some new record label and waving to people like he was at an awards show, nothing about how he lost his son, or how sad he was, apparently all he's worried about is money, so I wouldn't feel to bad for him.

[harriscrl3]

Actually Michael didnt write Man in the Mirror so there goes you theory

[scully05]

My understanding that the reason Micheal wrote "The Man in the Mirror" was because underneath it was an image of himself that represented his father and that the change he talks about was changing himself from anything looking like or pertaining to his father.

You'd think he was talking about people changing themselves to help others.

[bigsexyshaq]

What's great about Michael is he left us with one of the world's biggest puzzles.

[lionzion]

You are idiot.. Read the lyrics and then comment..

[oceanofconsciousness]

Check your facts. Michael didn't write the song.

[jamaicalover]

scully05, here's the correct name of the woman who composed "Man in the Mirror"

The song was composed by Siedah Garrett.

look at the winner of the Pabst Wins World's Ugliest Dog Contest ; then look at Joe. amazing

[xmw]

if MJ had the presence of mind to cut this dog out ....fabulous!!!!!

[1088]

Any father who moles his own girls are a monster to me. Joe love is money only, and he was the cause for all his children problems. Just look at all of them, they don't act normal, even down to Janet, who reminds me of Michael mannerism. G od please protect Michael children from this man!

[jazzofcourse08]

"Any father who moles his own girls are a monster to me." I depise Joe Jackson, but that story is a lie. LaToya admitted that it was a lie. She only mentioned that in the book because her abusive husband made her, so the book would sell.

[MacManLB]

You see how this board has quickly degenerated into saying Joe Jackson had sex with his own daughters. This whole thread is sickening.

[HarlemFreeThought]

"moles"????? MOLDS

[xmw]

molested ok....there you satisfied???

[girlwild]

Joe Jackson is a man who turned his children into his support mechanism. That's right, he views them as objects. He's hoping that he gets his next surge from Michael's death.

No matter how I personally feel about Michael Jackson, I feel a lot of the way he was rests right at the feet of his father.

I'm glad a will has surfaced, it will take away a lot of the speculation and legal fights. I hope it has a clause in it about disinheriting anyone who challenges the provisions of the will.

[wonder88]

total sociopath

[tatianalensky]

who? you?

[NicoloM]

Don't buy that album until we see if Joe gets a cut.

[xmw]

GOOD POINT

[stew66]

MJ's dad sounds like a real monster--I'd love to see him humiliated.

[Dupree]

Part II

I could not believe my ears and the disdain he bestowed upon the family as if they do not have enough to deal with at this time. They are going through an upside down event....their lives. They have to make major adjustments in the aftermath. There are three innocent children to contend with....estate that need to be addressed...and all this blowhard can think about is criticism about the funeral for his "fans." It is absurd ...he says ....that the family has not released the details about the funeral and it is "wrong" to keep the fans waiting...well as a fan....I beg your pardon....it is absurd the lack of sensitivity you are displaying that would suggest that we his fans should take priority over the family...I find that beyond words.

[alix2001]

You know, I gave Joe Jackson some credit on how hurtful he was to michael before hearing his comment at the BET awards about starting a record label! This at a ceremony on your son's untimely death!!!!! Until then, I thought that the media was just putting dirt on him but no more!!!
He certainly used MJ as a money making machine! No one deserves a father like that! Hope that MJ left him out of his will and hope that Katherine Jackson is strong enough to not let the old man sway her in administering MJ's wealth.

[ywcachieve]

Why don't the media leave Joe Jackson alone. Geez. This is ridiculous.

Michael left a lot of people out of his will. Why is this a news story?

[HarlemFreeThought]

The 4th Estate: Mass Media

[LADY2CNTX]

Exactly, MJ left out all of the sibllings. So, what does that MEAN?

[Knowitall]

The whole thing is amazing since none of us, especially the media, have seen the will.

[babyboomerorig]

Since the media decided to interview Joe Jackson, the rest of the world can see what a manipulating, egotistical man he is.

I hope he IS left out of the will....Michael seemed to be the only child who was willing to expose him for what he truly is.

[bigsexyshaq]

You have to wonder. Did Joe Jackson ever think he would outlive his son? Did he plan a record label for this day?

[KennyFox]

What the eff is Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton doing around Joe Jackson like they care? What about of vampires these guys are. Dispicable.
