The Jackson Story: Crumbling to Dust

Mr_Xtreme · November 19, 2002, 5:09pm

Where did it all go wrong for the one time boy wonder? Is this the story of an American dream turning into a nightmare we must ask ourselves? How can a young star who go from being a cherub who thrilled the world with his angelic croonings go from this:

to this?

And of course if we follow the logical chain of events for the future as according to Hollywood this is how he’ll eventually end up:

sad maybe, but a salutory lesson in there somewhere.

I saw this story being run on Fox News when I went home for lunch.

NEW YORK — A man who appears to be pop superstar Michael Jackson was seen in a videotape on Tuesday apparently dangling an infant out a hotel balcony in Berlin, Germany.

The man in the video, apparently Jackson, seemed to be smiling as he briefly held the baby out over the edge of the balcony before retreating back into the hotel room. The child, who has not been positively identified, had a small blanket draped over his head and was seen kicking his feet as he was held out over the railing.

“He brought him out to show him off to the fans and he had the face covered because he didn’t want cameras to see it,” Flo Anthony, Jackson’s longtime friend and editor of Black Elegance magazine told Fox News. “However, that was a grave mistake … But I don’t think Michael was thinking maliciously … He wasn’t aiming to toss that baby over the railing.”

Anthony added that the child was Jackson’s youngest, a six- or seven- month old baby.

“This is a new child that I don’t know if he adopted or what,” she said.

Despite believing Jackson’s motivations were pure, Anthony said she could not defend his actions. “I’m not going to sit here and say that’s not disturbing because it is disturbing.”

The King of Pop was in Berlin to attend the premiere of the latest James Bond flick, Die Another Day, starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry.

Jackson has been in the news lately for testifying in a $21 million lawsuit filed against him by a former promoter who claims the superstar backed out of two millennium concerts.

On his first day of testimony, shocking photos of Jackson on the witness stand, with pieces of his nose apparently peeling off, were widely circulated and discussed.

Jackson, 44, has been married twice, to Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley. He has three children.

I find them both (Jackson and fox news) absurd and bizarre.

I have been thining about the same thing.
I saw it too. What could be the reason to show the child to the ppl outside? And it did seem as if he was about to throw the child!! If he had to show it to the ppl below he could have shown him in his arms, not while hanging him. And then he suddenly turned and took the child inside , as if he wasnt even sure if he wanted to come out.

Poor guy has a wrecked face now.

The Game Responds:

         *I sometimes get tired of the sh*tty media (Excuse me there); he was just playing around with his kid for God's sake. Fox news made it sound like he has gone insane or something to that effect; stupid assclowns can't even get one decent story to make up some headlines. People, That Is All.*

Is it just me or does anybody else think Jacko's wearing a wig?

system · November 20, 2002, 3:33pm

if the man can have 42 plastic surgeries.. then I think this would be the menifestation of hair transplant .. and not a wig

Just recently, Jackson was caught by the media dangling a little baby off the 4th storey of a hotel balcony in Germany. Pretty darn sick if you ask me. Check out the link.

He is now my hostage! If you wish to get him back, you must find the greatest plastic surgeon alive to fix my face!
Find my nose or I'll kill the baby
Catch!

This is a guy who used to wear a surgical mask in public. Maybe they look like aliens as well? who knows. Anyway, forget about that, the question is why the hell is he dangling that kid over the balcony? He says he wanted to show the kid to the screaming public, but what's there to see when the baby's face is covered up.

^^^he still does
