You Be the Judge

Is this Michael Jackson's love child? You be the judge. I mean the guy was sitting in the front row at the funeral. Why would you be in the front row unless you were part of the family? He looks just like Michael in his Thriller days. I seriously believe this one. The only thing I don't understand is that Michael seemed like a loving and proud father to his three children. Why wouldn't he make public this child as well? Who knows.....but yeah this is son!

My Thoughts

I must admit that I have been struggling all morning to put my thoughts into words to express my sadness over the death of Michael Jackson. There's no way I can sit here and convey the impact of his talent. I have yet to turn on the tv, listen to my always-present Michael Jackson music playlist, or go to the basement and dig up the Michael Jackson doll I played with as a kid. I just can't. Michael's death is particularly difficult for me because my grandmother was a long-time fan and she passed away 8 weeks ago. Upon hearing of his death, I immediately picked up the phone to call her, not thinking that she is no longer here as well. I'm still going to need some time to get it together and process that Michael Jackson is no longer with us. He was a great man and we will all be mourning globally--a testament to the unifying power and world-wide resonance of his music. Michael Jackson you will be missed.

Celebrity Reactions to Michael's Death

Here are some celebrity reactions to Michael Jackson's death:

Brooke Shields: "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."

Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."

Lisa Marie Presley: "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me."

Quincy Jones: "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words."

Liza Minnelli: "He was a kind, genuine, and wonderful man. He was also one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived. I loved him very much and I will miss him every remaining day of my life."

Corey Feldman: "I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend. Unfortunately Michael and I had a falling out on September 10th 2001 and that broken friendship had never been repaired … I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse. All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again. I am truly, and deeply sorry for all of the heartbroken fans and supporters worldwide."

Of course Elizabeth Taylor is extremely upset. Her rep said that she would issue a statement later.
