Goin Down At The (Neverland) Ranch


Michaels Eyebrows Are Tattooed On - Contradicting Policy, He Was Allowed To Be Photographed With Makeup On

ONE THEORY:  A former entourage member implies something odd - in the mid to late 80's, you will remember Michael always having a monkey in public - BUBBLES.  This was the Thriller phase of his career - the ultra-successful and relatively "normal" days.  The theory goes that Bubbles was more than a mere "pet" but rather, a somewhat more intimate companion.  But in a very...intense...situation, Bubbles, being an animal and reverting to those defense mechanisms....well - he experienced something perhaps uncomfortable or painful - certainly something he didn't like or frightened him momentarily, because he "turned and briefly attacked" Michael, in the process damaging Michael's nose.  This is now being purported as the START of Michael's plastic surgery tinkering - to fix the nose damaged by boychild-surrogate Bubbles.  This also began the change in Michael's approach to intimate relations, and we all know how the situations surrounding that new approach have damaged Michael's reputation.

THE GAY PORN CONNECTION: The Santa Barbara home of Mark Schaffel, producer of gay porn films and a business friend of Michael Jackson, was raided by police last Saturday as part of their on-going investigation of the singers alleged child molestations.  A computer was taken as evidence and it is probably linked to Schaffel being implicated in a child pornography racket in the city of Budapest. He recently marketed a video of Jackson holding hands with the minor currently accusing him of molestation.   Although the link between the producer and Jacksons court case is unclear, the pop star has had strong links with Schaffel for a considerable length of time, against the wishes of his advisors.  This came out 2-6-04

ADDICTED TO DRUGS?: This part of the story is probably no surprise to anyone - Michael doesn't seem very grounded anyways.  But, troubled pop superstar Michael Jackson has struggled with drug addiction, according to his former business partner Myung-Ho Lee. Speaking in Vanity Fair magazine, Lee makes a series of staggering claims about the singer - who is awaiting trial on child abuse charges. He alleges Jackson was addicted to the drugs morphine and Demerol and that he convinced him to spend time in rehab in Seoul, South Korea, in 1999. Lee says, "I met with the doctor on a regular basis. We were getting Michael off what he was addicted to, Demerol and morphine. His problem is a sleep disorder. He's up, up to 48 hours at a time, and then crashes."  One of his stints in rehab came only after the intervention of friend Elizabeth Taylor, the magazine said. Jackson's former business adviser Myung-Ho Lee told the magazine that Jackson checked into rehab in London after becoming addicted to Demerol and morphine. The visit to the clinic was in 1993 when he was accused of abusing a different teenager. According to the report, a doctor told a Jackson adviser: "Either the drugs are going to kill him or he's going to die by flying out of a window because he thinks he can fly." "You better get someone here he'll listen to." Staff then called Elizabeth Taylor who convinced him to check into the London clinic.   

   

GOD SAVE ME:  Michael Jackson became a member of the Nation of Islam the night before formal charges were filed - and his religious changeover comes along with a shake-up of his personal staff. High-ranking members of the Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Rev. Louis Farrakhan's flock - and Jackson's conversion is now well-known in the NOI community. Exactly why Jackson converted wasn't clear. But Fox News's Web site reported that Jackson's brother Jermaine, who converted to Islam in 1989, has been seeking to win favor with his more famous sibling, and has brought Farrakhan's chief of staff, Leonard F. Muhammad, into Jacko's inner circle as a "bodyguard." That's just one of many changes under way in Jackson's inner circle, sources said.

DID THEY JUST BEAT HIM...BEAT HIM?:  The Santa Barbara County sheriff denied that Michael Jackson was roughed up in jail, saying he was asking the state attorney general to investigate the pop star's claims. "I'm shocked and troubled by his allegations," Sheriff Jim Anderson told a news conference. In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview Jackson said he was "manhandled" while in custody and locked in a feces-smeared restroom for 45 minutes after he asked to use the facilities. Anderson said that he was taking Jackson's complaint of abuse as a formal citizen's complaint. If Jackson's claims are found to be untrue by a state investigation, Anderson said, he would file a complaint against Jackson for making a groundless accusation against an officer.

THE JESUS JUICE:  Michael Jackson has abused drugs and alcohol and given teenage boys wine, which he calls "Jesus juice".  YUM YUM GIMME SOME!  In the infamous Vanity Fair article, ex-associate Lee also sheds light on charges of Jackson administering an intoxicating liquor and molesting a 13 year old boy - he claims on a trip to Japan with the singer in 1998, Jackson gave the teen son of a business partner three soda cans full of wine, which he called "Jesus juice". Lee says, "Later that evening, the boy came back sick. Security informed me that he appeared drunk and his father was very upset."

   
12-19-03 Flash - The Charging Documents

BIRDS OF A FEATHER CANNOT FLOCK TOGETHER: A judge has ordered rhythm and blues star R Kelly, free on bond while fighting child pornography charges, to avoid Michael Jackson at February's Grammy awards.  Kelly, who is up for two awards, must stay away from Jackson should the singer, himself facing child molestation charges, attend.  The issue was not brought up by prosecutors. Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan made the edict on his own.  01-30-04.  Michaels sister, due to her itty bitty titty trouble at the stooper bowl won't be attending either - who will keep Michael company!?

TOO MANY JACKSONS: There's going to be a tug of war between the defense and the prosecution over a key mystery witness in the Michael Jackson case. I told you the name of Jay Jackson just the other day. No relation to the Jackson family, Jay - a Caucasian - is thought to be the boyfriend of the mother of Jackson's 13-year-old accuser. This Jackson will prove to be integral to the case, as he was witness to the goings-on between the Jackson camp and the mother and her children. Jackson met the mother and her kids through a youth program in Los Angeles run by the U.S. Navy called Sea Cadets. In fact, Jackson is actually an employee of the United States Army. He works in the personnel office of the National Guard in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

THE MEDIA FRENZY: A television cameraman who collapsed while covering pop star Michael Jackson's sensational arrest on child molestation charges later died of apparent heart failure.   Bill Skiba, a 43-year-old camera operator for local KEYT-TV who fell while racing down stone steps at the Santa Barbara jail, had suffered from diabetes, the station said in a statement on its website.  The station said Skiba was "a talented and dedicated video journalist and a gentle man" who would be sorely missed by his colleagues.  Dozens of journalists and police officers saw Skiba fall shortly after Jackson's arrival and several tried to render him aid before he was rushed to a hospital. But the station said paramedics were unable to revive him.


"Rough" Treatment?  A Hanger For The Jet, Drive Through Booking Service....

THE MEDIA FRENZY THICKENS: Sheriff's officials said several wireless microphones discovered outside their headquarters could be the latest of several attempts by journalists to surreptitiously get information on the Michael Jackson molestation case.  The devices were found in a brushy area where Sheriff's Department employees frequently take breaks and where reporters are not normally allowed. Officials did not say when they discovered the microphones.  "It is being interpreted by the department as an attempt by somebody within the media to garner information that otherwise would not be available," Sgt. Chris Pappas of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department, said Saturday.

THE SEARCH: Detectives with the Santa Barbara, California, County Sheriff's Department have searched the Beverly Hills office of a private detective hired by pop-icon Michael Jackson, as well as the home of Jackson's videographer - along with the Neverland Ranch just before the arrest - this came out 11-25-03

THE DIGITAL SEARCH: A dozen hard drives from computers seized at Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch and elsewhere are being analyzed by government technicians "who are not California peace officers," according to a motion filed Friday by prosecutors in his child molestation case.  The motion asked Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville to seal the search warrants and affidavits which would explain what data was being sought from the computers.   They also moved to seal the documents which will be filed once the search is completed.  This came out 2-6-04


 


12-10-03 Flash - The Infamous "Unfounded" Child and Family Services Memo

MICHAEL AS A CAR: It's an odd idea for a movie, even for Michael Jackson. "Jersey Girl" director Kevin Smith says he once got an offer to direct the pop singer in a movie about a man who turns into a car that gets ridden around by a boy. Smith tells Playboy magazine that Jackson wanted to play the car/man role. The proposed title of the film, and Smith says this is no lie, was "Hot Rod." Smith calls it the "weirdest" script he was ever asked to direct. The pop star is being accused of child molestation in Santa Barbara County, Calif. Jackson was also accused of a similar crime ten years ago. He has maintained his innocence in both cases.

 

 


Victim Gavin Arvizo (Billie Jean?) and Michael Jackson
From the Martin Bashir Tapes

He Should Have Just Beat It

The 12 year old boy was said to have been taunted at school after this TV special. It was at this point when the allegations were made. Jackson and this boy had spent extensive time together. The charges against Jackson years ago (that were dropped after the boys family was paid off) involved him masturbating the boy and having him perform oral sex. When the previous charges were made Jackson attempted to flee the country. Officials were angered by the fact that they were unable to stop Jackson at this point because they felt he was a repeat sex offender. Investigators have asked any other people who have been sexually abused by Jackson to come forward.  If nothing else, at least his lawyer(s) cannot play the race card and claim RACISM, ("this is nothing but a modern day lynching"-Jermaine Jackson 11-20-03 on CNN) because no one in their right mind still considers Michael a black man anymore.  Even black people don't claim him.


The Plane Bringing Michael To Get Booked
There Was Something Sweetly Phallic and Sexual About The Slow Penetration Into The Hanger

Jackson met Gavin Arvizo, 12, in the hospital and invited him to his Neverland ranch, a storybook playland where the singer was known to hold sleep-overs for children and share his bed with youngsters.   Earlier this year, Arvizo appeared in a controversial British documentary by Martin Bashir, Living With Michael Jackson, referring to Jackson as "Daddy" and admitting he shared the singer's bed.
Authorities say Jackson repeatedly molested Arvizo, whom they have not named, at his sprawling Neverland Ranch.   It also emerged yesterday that police who raided the estate targeted several hidden rooms reputedly located off Jackson's bedroom. A documentary, made in 1994 but never aired, includes interviews with alleged victims of Jackson who claimed there was a small ante-room that could be accessed through his wardrobe.   It was also reported the ante-room included a narrow staircase that led to a windowless children's bedroom, where the bed had Peter Pan sheets.  Police took a locksmith on the raid, which lasted 13 hours, and swooped on the offices of a video company in Los Angeles that had worked for Jackson for years.
 


The Neverland Ranch - Now We're Calling It The Never TELL Ranch
 

TAKE ME TO SOUTH AMERICA:  Unhinged Michael Jackson went into mid-air meltdown and tried to flee America as he flew home to be arrested and handcuffed. The singer, sedated by doctors but gripped by panic at child sex charges, demanded to be flown to a South America bolt-hole. Trembling and swaying, he ordered aides to change his plane's flight path and spring him to a haven beyond the reach of US law.  But flunkies refused for fear that US air control would force the 87-TD private jet down for an emergency landing by knocking out its satellite navigation systems. And they insisted Jackson - accused of sex offences against 12-year-old cancer victim Gavin Arvizo - should give himself up.  Muttering to himself and screaming "it's not fair", Jackson spent the journey rocking backwards and forwards in his seat.  The star's deranged antics on the jet from Las Vegas to California shocked even those used to his odd behaviour.  At first he refused to board the plane taking him to Santa Barbara for a showdown with District Attorney Tom Sneddon. A witness said: "His people almost dragged him on in the end. He was shaking and in a state of near hysteria." Once aboard, father-of-three Jackson demanded the pilot change routes and take him and his children to South America. The witness said: "Jackson was adamant he was going to do a runner because he was so nervous. But his attorneys managed to talk him out of it. There was a lot of shouting. They told him the authorities would jam the guidance systems on the plane.  "They said the plane would be forced into an emergency landing. "Even if he did succeed in leaving the country, he would be extradited back to the United States."  "Jacko was sitting in his chair rocking backwards and forwards chattering to himself with his head in his hands. He was a total basket case."  The source went on: "A man in a suit, carrying a medical bag was walking alongside Jacko when he finally got on the plane. Then Jackson demanded that they have Kentucky Fried Chicken delivered to the plane before he would agree to take off."  Jackson was put in his seat, flanked by two bodyguards. Then he was given an injection to calm him down.  "Even the sedatives didn't help much," said the source. "He repeatedly squealed, 'Why, why, why are they doing this to me?' He was totally agitated, sweating, his hair covering his face and he wrung his hands incessantly. He looked like he was doing the Moonwalk while sitting down"  Jackson was on board the plane with his children, Prince Michael, six, Paris, five, and toddler Prince Michael II.   THESE DESCRIPTIONS OF HIS MADNESS ON THE PLANE ARE NOW SIGNIFICANT AND EVEN MORE INTERESTING AS THE CHARTER PLANE COMPANY PLANTED TWO HIDDEN CAMERAS IN THE PLANE, ANTICIPATING ODDNESS News of the tapes breaking midday 11-25 BUT JACKSON'S LAWYER IS FIGHTING THE RELEASE OF THESE TAPES!!!  CMON MICHAEL - PUT EM IN YOUR NEW VIDEO!!!

Earlier, there had been more oddball antics as Jackson prepared to leave the Green Valley Ranch, a luxury Vegas resort where he had been staying while filming a new video.  The source said: "Jackson's handlers noticed he was missing and when they went searching, they found him outside the private bungalow. When asked what he was doing, he said that he saw a field mouse and wanted to play with it, but was unable to find it."


...but they seemed so HAPPY!?

THE 'LOVE' LETTERS TO 'RUBBA' THAT MAY DESTROY JACKSON:  Explicit letters and poems said to have been written by Michael Jackson to his alleged victim will form the centrepiece of the sex-abuse case against him.  Police seized at least a dozen letters during the raid on Jackson's Neverland ranch last week.  "The district attorney is convinced these letters will be crucial to the case against Jackson," a source close to the investigation said yesterday.  "The boy told investigators about letters and poems and their precise location inside Michael's home. These letters were among the evidence seized, along with videotapes.  "They are very explicit and intimate and show a degree of familiarity. Basically, they appear to be love letters from Michael to the boy."  The accuser, 12-year-old Los Angeles cancer victim Gavin Arvizo, also told police Jackson's pet name for him was Rubba.  "He said Jackson called him Rubba because one of the games they used to play was called rubba rubba. The boy said, 'Michael told me he was my rubba rubba friend."'  Although police handling the case in Santa Barbara, California, have been barred from revealing any details, it is understood the alleged abuse took place in February.  A source close to 45-year-old Jackson said: "For the past five or six years, he's taken kids from fractured homes and nurtured them as a father figure. As they get older, he teaches them fun things to do.  "Michael says he learned this from an adult when he was a teenager. No-one on his staff ever said anything. He's a tyrant. Everybody obeys the man."  Another Jackson source said: "The boy told of everything that went on and described things in Michael's closets, his bathroom, what was under his bed."  In her statements to police, Gavin's mother, Janet Ventura, has revealed that Jackson encouraged her son to call him "Daddy". 
Ms Ventura has claimed she, Gavin and his two siblings were held virtual prisoners at Neverland, 100km north of Santa Barbara.  When she learned of her son's accusations of molestation -- which included claims that Jackson plied him with wine and sleeping pills -- she fled with her family in the dead of night.  A source close to district attorney Tom Sneddon, who will prosecute the case, said: "The DA is very confident with the evidence he has. This includes letters, videos and computer files. They believe they have enough to nail Jackson."  Jackson's legal team is said to be encouraging him to consider a plea bargain, possibly an insanity defense that would allow him to serve time in a state mental hospital instead of jail.

There was speculation yesterday that the singer raised his $3 million bail with the help of Miami-based Al Malnik, a lawyer for notorious gangster Meyer Lansky, who died in 1983.  Malnik reportedly began making large loans to Jackson when his career nosedived.  Malnik, 69, was cited by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1980 and 1992 as a person of unsuitable character.  The prosecution source said: "It just gets weirder and weirder. Michael supposedly has financial problems, but hiring someone with Mob connections is bizarre."

Prosecutors are said to be spreading a net around the world for other alleged victims. One boy of special interest is said to be in El Salvador, another in South Africa.  They are also said to be considering quizzing the son of an English premiership footballer.  Charges of aiding and abetting are likely to be filed against members of Jackson's entourage. 

At the same time as the Neverland swoop, police raided two homes in Los Angeles.  One was reportedly the residence of Marc Schaffel, a gay video producer who filmed the rebuttal tape Jackson released just after Martin Bashir's British documentary aired.

 

Deja Vu
Documents From The 1993 Case
     

 

Actress Elizabeth Taylor says she believes pop star and good friend Michael Jackson is "absolutely innocent" of child molestation charges and will be "vindicated."  Taylor also criticized the press for behaving "abominably" toward the self-styled King of Pop   "Their whole reaction is that he is guilty. I thought the law was 'innocent until proven guilty.' I know he is innocent and I hope they all eat crow," Taylor said of the press.  The veteran actress, who flew to Singapore to lend support to Jackson on tour when he was last accused of child molestation a decade ago, said she would not be giving interviews to the media because of the way they have treated Jackson. "I believe Michael is absolutely innocent and that he will be vindicated," Taylor said in her statement.   "If Elizabeth Taylor says he's innocent, that's good enough for me!" (theNSAisWATCHIN)
 

 

On Gavin Arvizo and His Troubled Past
Who out there was expecting normalcy?
After the 1993 case, what good and decent parents would leave their child with Jackson anyways?


By MATTHEW HELLER, CHARLES RAPPLEYE and LEO STANDORA - DAILY NEWS WRITERS

The kid at the center of the Michael Jackson sex case allegedly tried to steal clothes from a California store on orders from his father when he was just 8, court records reveal.  The shoplifting turned violent when security guards grabbed the boy and his mother fought them, the papers said. They were arrested and charged with burglary.

A police report on the Aug. 27, 1998, incident said security guards caught up with the boy in the parking lot, where they wound up fighting with the boy and his parents. His mother was handcuffed.  The troubled family then sued the JCPenney store in West Covina, about 30 miles east of Los Angeles, alleging they were severely beaten and falsely arrested. In the suit, the family claimed the boy suffered a "sprained arm, nightmares and emotional distress."

The suit also claimed that a younger son, who was 7 at the time, was bruised on the forehead, causing "headaches and emotional distress."  As part of the settlement, charges against the family were dropped. The family collected $200,000, but the couple divorced a short time later after bickering over the money.

Other police reports involving the family allege the father once kept his daughter, now 15, prisoner in his car for 2-1/2 hours and threatened to "kill your mom and your whole family." The teen told cops the incident happened outside her school on Nov. 13, 2001. 
In a bizarre statement after the mother filed assault charges against the father, she assured police that Michael Jackson, local weatherman Fritz Coleman and basketball star Kobe Bryant "would assist her with this incident."

 


THE INTERNET DENIAL


Published 11-24-03

The Gloved One is said to be so fearful that his Neverland ranch has been bugged, he's even looking at his teddy bears suspiciously.

A Jackson insider tells us the singer believes that law-enforcement officers may have planted electronic surveillance devices in his mansion last month when they spent 12 hours searching the grounds for evidence that he molested a 12-year-old boy.

"He ordered a sweep of the entire place," said the source. "They're even running the teddy bears through radio-frequency sensors to see if there might be transmitters inside."

Jackson is said to trust no one since he learned that he and his attorney, Mark Geragos, were secretly videotaped aboard a private plane last month. The revelation led to an FBI investigation and a lawsuit by Jackson against the charter-jet company.

"Michael won't even talk to his attorneys over the phone," said our source.


 

Bills are coming due for Jackson's extravagant lifestyle

When he surrendered to the Santa Barbara, Calif., sheriff, Michael Jackson resembled an aging Joan Crawford, pale, frail and weighing 120 pounds.  His financial well-being appears equally fragile. With each successive record costing more and earning less than the last, he is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain his lavish lifestyle.  By any measure, Jackson, 45, must be considered wealthy. But according to his close advisers, industry friends and court records, he is also an extravagant spender whose wealth is being consumed by an appetite for monkeys, Ferris wheels and surgery.

A lawsuit against Jackson said he is tethered to a boulder of debt, totaling near $200 million, which comes due in several years. Moreover, there are at least four liens on his 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch, and even the state of California laid claim to the property to force Jackson to pay his taxes. Most of his assets are from his half ownership of the Beatles catalog, valued conservatively at $272 million, which he has used to secure some loans.  The pop star has at times mortgaged the royalties to other songs he owns to raise cash. And he is also the subject of hundreds of lawsuits. Defending himself against charges that he molested a 12-year-old boy, which he has called "big lies," could cost him millions.  So troubled are his finances, his advisers tried to limit his spending to $1 million a month this summer, said a person apprised of Jackson's situation who spoke on condition of anonymity. It is unclear whether Jackson himself paid the $3 million bail when he was booked last week on charges that could send him to prison for 10 years or more.  Nevertheless, Jackson is convinced, people who know him say, that the next record will earn enough to pay off his creditors and rescue his ragged reputation.

"He wants to be as relevant now as he was when he was 5 years old, as he was when he was 20," said Bobby Colomby, the former drummer of the rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears who has known Jackson since he was a young performer and was an executive producer of the Jackson family's Destiny album. "But in the process, he got lost," Colomby said. "He probably thinks, 'This press is good. I'll go to court and win and be on top again.' "  In Living with Michael Jackson, a documentary broadcast this year, Jackson told interviewer Martin Bashir he was worth more than $1 billion. As if to prove his point, the singer is shown in the documentary spending an estimated $6 million on garish furnishings and paintings during a shopping spree.  But according to the person apprised of Jackson's finances, Jackson returned the merchandise days later. Management at the shop, Regis Gallerie, declined to comment. Stuart Backerman, Jackson's spokesman, called the story fantasy.  According to court records, some of Jackson's expenditures in 2000 include $200,000 for "Neverland Rides," $15,000 to a dermatologist, Arnold Klein, $380,728 for insurance and, in 2001, $75.62 to maintain a Slurpee machine.

Jackson was looking to put Neverland on the market this year, said a real estate agent familiar with the deal. He was asking for $50 million but there were no takers. "A Ferris wheel," said the real estate agent, "it's very difficult to put a replacement value on that."  Liens are held against the house by both Sony Music, in connection with a loan, and by a German concert promoter, who claims Jackson reneged on a string of charity concerts. The state of California dropped its lien in February after Jackson paid back taxes, according to the secretary of state.  Then there are the lawsuits. In 1993 he settled for millions with a 13-year-old boy who claimed Jackson sexually molested him. This January, the art auction house Sotheby's sued Jackson for $1.6 million for backing out on the purchase of two 19th-century French paintings.  In March, he was ordered to pay $5.3 million to a concert promoter who said Jackson had reneged on a deal to perform at charity concerts. And three months later Jackson settled for an undisclosed sum with his former financial adviser, Myung-Ho Lee, who said he had not been paid for his services.  "We could get in line for Neverland, but there is a long line ahead of us," said Pierce O'Donnell, who represented Lee and agreed to the settlement fearing Jackson would be bankrupt in 18 months.


Tip-toe-ing Around The Issue?
Someone out there PLEASE animate this to show him humping someone, please?


THE NATION AND INTERNAL STRUGGLE - SPOKESPERSON RESIGNS: The Nation of Islam, the African-American Muslim movement led by Louis Farrakhan, has denied having an official relationship with Michael Jackson (news) amid reports the group is controlling the pop singer's business. "The Nation of Islam, in response to several inquiries, has said today that it has no official business or professional relationship with Mr. Michael Jackson," according to a statement posted on the group's Web site on Monday. "The Nation of Islam joins thousands of other people in wishing him well." A spokesman could not be reached on Tuesday to elaborate on the statement. On Monday, chief Jackson spokesman Stuart Backerman resigned, citing differences with other members of Jackson's team over the handling of child molestation charges. The New York Times on Tuesday cited an unidentified colleague saying Backerman resigned to protest the Nation of Islam's influence. The newspaper, citing Jackson's friends, employees and business associates, reported that members of the Nation of Islam were invited to Jackson's Neverland Ranch several weeks ago to provide security. The report said the Nation of Islam, including chief of staff and Farrakhan son-in-law Leonard Muhammad, are restricting access to Jackson and making decisions for him about business, media and legal strategy. Jackson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, denied in an interview with the newspaper that the group was running Jackson's affairs.

A History of Michael Jacksons Face

1979 age 21

Hard to believe - this was Michael Jackson. He was born August 28, 1958 - one of 9 kids. His father reportedly nicknamed him "Big Nose".
 

Mike was born a cute African-American guy. "Normal", if you will, and very talented. Despite the current, sad stories about his lonely, sad childhood, Mike grew up surrounded by famous people and an adoring public. At age 5, Mike and his brothers were the amazing 'Jackson 5'. They played locally, then in New York and Philly. They were "discovered" by Gladys Knight and pianist Billy Taylor at the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem. By age 11, Mike was a Superstar. At age 13 he went solo and had his first #1 hit at 14 with "Ben" (a touching love song to a rat). Who knew he'd get addicted to plastic surgery, face accusations of child molestation and end up America's Most Famous Sideshow?
1984 age 26

Mike gets his nose slightly narrowed and his eyebrows shaped. This was his "Thriller" Era and he was smokin'. People did notice this facial change and commented on it - guys just didn't do this back then.
Some in the Black community made comments about him having a problem with his African-American
looks and making his nose more "White". He was cute as hell, though. Oh, baby. He gave coherent interviews. He had a cute sense of humor and was seen on TV doing other things besides whining, faking tears and defending legal charges. He didn't wear a face mask in public. He smiled a big, infectious smile. He was humble and grateful for his fame and his fans' appreciation. He made hit after hit, celebrated music videos one after another, sealed obscenely huge record sales and contracts. He had unprecedented $ponsorship deals with Pepsi, and LA Gear Sportwear. People stood in line at 1AM to purchase "Thriller" when it came out, even though the store didn't open until 9 AM.
1985 age 27

  • The shark music from "Jaws" starts softly in the background...

Another nose job to narrow things and permanent eyeliner tattooed around his eyes. Ouch! Is that lipstick?! Hell, it's the 80s - it's allowed. During that time he had an army of spin doctors, lawyers, bodyguards, agents, minions, PR magicians, attendants, and managers all making sure he no one had a clue about his personal life but what did we care? He was doing amazing, selfless things - contributing to children's charities and starting his own "Heal The World Foundation"; cowriting the famous "We Are The World" song to help African famine victims. He was given the Heritage Award and praised by Queen Liz, President Reagan and others. Mike was everywhere, giving as much as he got and letting us all know how blessed he was. There was no one who wasn't impressed and didn't sprain an ankle trying to imitate his "Moon Walk" in their living room.

  • The Sigourney Weaver in "Ghostbusters" Stage - The beginning of the end.

OK, people and the press are really talking now. Gasps are audibly heard. He gets his nose done again, and, in a move that will forever baffle the world, neglects to sue the bastard who botched the surgery job on him. He suddenly has cheek bones. In a mere year and a half his skin's gone from beautiful cocoa bronze to fish belly white. He first denies this, then blames it on the medical condition Vitiligo which causes people of color to develop light patches of skin that lack pigment. Well he doesn't say this, his "people" say this. Mike ain't saying a thing which is odd considering the good he could do to bring this little understood condition to public light. Rumors abound that he's been allegedly taking female hormones (note the clever use of the word "allegedly" to avoid a law suit) to remove facial hair and keep that voice of his at the 12 year old boy pitch. He's talking in a Marilyn Monroe Little Girl Whisper. He's started the Spin of the misunderstood, picked-upon Victim instead of an increasingly weird 30 year old man. He's creepy. People are making jokes that only in America can you be born a black man and end up a white woman. Talented or no, the fact is we're realizing that Michael Has Issues.

  • The "LaToilet" stage
In an insult to transvestite men everywhere - who can look pretty damn good in a dress and makeup and can project alluring female charm - when Mike does this, he doesn't even have the decency to stop grabbing his crotch every 1.0045 seconds and allowing that image for us. His skin is getting lighter still even though it's supposedly already been lightened (or not...who do you believe? Him or his PR people?). His public antics are presented weekly, as are his new lip colors. He should pick a damn color and stick with it already. Eyebrows were whittled down to Joan Crawford peaks. He now has an interesting, manly cleft in his chin and a dropped, square jawline. The joke was that he was really his sister LaToya - you notice you never saw them in the same room together? He gets his nose done again and now sports little teeny triangles for nostrils and a sharp razor ridge you could grate cheese on. Popular opinion is he "fucked it up". He defends himself in the press by asking why people make such a Thang out of it... a lot of people get a little nose work done! and it's not national news! Sheesh already! Can't you leave him alone?! He's got a skin disease! (although having Vitilgo has nothing to do with having nonstop plastic surgery). He had a bad childhood! He's a nice person! He recycles his plastics! Even people in his 'camp' are publicly saying the man's elevator isn't going to the top floor anymore.

  • The "Judy Jetson"/Flying Monkey look..and the year It all began..
He messed with it all again. Current Color: toilet paper pink. Cheeks: Squirrel socking nuts away for the winter. Reportedly the tip of his nose is so damaged from the operations that the tissue has died, and he's now wearing a fake prothesis tip. (Ya think? ). This unnecessary and seemingly nonstop alteration has passed into the realm of "self-mutilation" and when the shocking news of child molestation charges come to light, it's the last straw for his sponsors Pepsi, LA Gear and others who cancel his contracts. The public, who forgave his mounting eccentricities because of his incredible talents nod in silence about it all, unsurprised. Most remark that someone with this going on visibly outside has to have a lot of demons going on inside. In his defense, Mike launches his second career as Whining, Weeping, Hurt, Offended, Innocent Victim. Like being instantly on the verge of tears at any legit question he wants to avoid is also "normal".

Bizarro Michael

  • The "Alcoholic Housewife" look...

... didn't catch on either. Even the staunch defenders of Michael's sanity have to admit the boy's cheese has slid off his cracker. Mike gets a fake chin implant and suddenly loses his cleft chin, the sides of his face are stretched taut, his nose isn't pointing North anymore and it's anyone's guess what the hell he did to his skin this time. The Art of Cosmetology seems to be an unknown science in his part of the world and he's getting his face done at the local morgue. He has new lipstick (my shade Mike..cool!) and jokes abound that he's turned into Diana Ross. He is a ghoul and seems to be a sick puppy with all this stuff he's done to himself and his bizarre antics in public. Each photo that shows up in the coming years never fails to make people's jaws drop. Mike gets worked up saying he doesn't see why everyone but him can have a little nip and tuck on the nose but let him go have a tiny bit and BOY O BOY it's National News. ::fake sob!:: He doesn't think he looks that different and wishes people would leave him alone. We wish he'd leave his face alone.

  • The Batman Period - Holy Joker!
New chin again. Nose again. New cheeks. Smaller jaw. The Bizarro angles gone. The gaunt look is replaced by rounder fluff. This would all be amusing as Theater except this is how he's walking around, every day, pretending this is all perfectly normal. The weirdest thing is people act like it is. I mean, you never see photos of Mike dragging the usual 3 or 4 little boys around with him, at some awards show and see people in the background throwing up. Rumor has it he transplanted some pubic hair to his jaw to try to make a Goatee in an attempt to butch up , but the thought is too repulsive to dwell on.
Of course that's just Tabloid fodder.

  • The Japanese Anime Cartoon Guy period
Oh, this isn't looking good...a Goatee! Suddenly his jaw is an inch longer. He got his eyes pulled so tight he looks Oriental and they've ceased to line up properly. His lips have a hint of that lizard-lock smile you see on people who have overdone the facelifts. Good thing Japanese Anime cartoons are taking the US by storm so this is kind of fashionable. Hey, if you plaster the make up on enough, you can make anyone look good. A new fad are the "Glamor Shot" Stores, where women plop down huge amounts of $$$ to have technicians professionally do their make-up, hair. Photography experts professionally light them and transform the package into a drop dead gorgeous, stunning New You and take photograph evidence that it was actually managed. Everyday women are transformed into sensual, perfect creatures. Because of this It hits us that this is the trick Michael's been using in all those perfect professional photos we see of him! You mean all those photos of him are retouched?! Say it ain't so! When he's caught in public it's quite a different matter. And ack! Is that pubic hair?

  • What Ever Happened To Baby Mike?

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!     GAHHHHHH!! Oh, sorry....
 

My, my.. where does one start? Here is Michael at the age of 42 with his wrecked face and apparently no makeup. Gone the artistry of the airbrush, wizardry of make up artists and the kind, magic lighting of studio crafted reality. You can see the rumored (please note inventive use of word "rumored" to avoid a law suit...) fake-nose-tip-prothesis hanging off as well as the scars. The thin little beak nose of 1997 seems to have expanded once again. It's hard to see a human being in there, and it's amazing there are plastic surgeons who can mutilate someone like this and sleep at night. I wish I had $1 for every ranting "fan" who's accused me of altering this photo or airbrushing/faking the photos on this page. I tell them that's called "getting sued to oblivion" ", if it were true on my part. All these photos are from fan or "official" web sites or major publications and can be obtained by anyone willing to use a search engine for an hour or two. Information on Mike's face, his sugeries, his bizarre personal and public actions and the words of people who have stopped covering for him fill ten of thousands of web sites.

  • The "Black Lagoon" phase

Big news brings Michael out of his Howard Hughes-like life and back into the spotlight when he charges his record company, Sony, is "racist". That's why his "Invinsible" CD sold 2 million copies; Sony didn't promote him enough. He sez. We all get to gasp anew and ask the question - WTF?! Seems he's had his nose fixed,,,WHEW! and just got out of bed. As it is reported in the news it seems a bridge was built to widen the nasal passages. "Thank God!" the headlines say. Poor thing probably couldn't breathe! with those teensy bitty nostrils. Oh How Nice For Him! Perhaps his singing will improve, since his last album was 70 minutes of hiccups, grunts, fake crying and yips. One has to wonder why, with all his money, he can't seem to find plastic surgeons who are capable of actually doing plastic surgery. The "fixed" bridge appears as two lumpy lines and not what say, just for the sake of argument, a plastic surgeon might put in someone's face to create a nose bridge. Maybe this is a new trend in Breath-Rite Strip implants? One wonders what those Jutting Gill Bumps were on the sides of his jaw in 1997. Mike ruins his symmetry schtick with mismatched, lopsided eyes and lipstick like my senile Aunt Margaret wears. Music critics and even those in the record industry are saying OK, quite enough from this goof. There is even a TV special in the UK asking - If this is what the guy is doing to his outside, then what the hell is going on inside? What's happened to our Michael?

Tracey Orvez took this photo in the parking lot of the Beverly Regent Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. She heard he was there so waited in hopes of seeing him. What a surprize it must have been to see The Mike, making his way to his limo dressed in only blue Jammies with snow flakes and polar bears on them. Always a good look for a star, I say. She asked if she could take his photo and he said sure...as long as she "stood well back".
 

I can't imagine why.

The publicly decried "third nostril", which appeared after the January plastic surgery (see above photo) that a few took time out of their busy days to write and inform me I was full of shit about, seems to be closing up but has left an obvious scar. The tip, which has been rumored (damn, I'm good) to have died and/or be a puttied-on prothesis looks to be dead tissue and/or a puttied on prothesis. Said Ms. Orvez: "He looked like a ghoul. When I had the picture developed, I was sick. The guy doesn't appear to have a nose."

Well, when you hack away at it for 15 years, that happens. But as my detractors write to me, I just put these vicious "lies" up because I'm "jealous". I am, boy howdy! I'm jealous I don't have whatever it is Mike's on to make his pupils the size of dinner plates. And I would really love some Polar bear and snowflake jammies myself. I wish Tracey mentioned if they had Feets in them or not! It's hell trying to find "fun" jammie feets pajamas when you're a grown up woman. How envious I am that a grown man can!

  • The Latex Monkey In a Bad Wig Look of Planet Michael
     

The story is that Mike was in court because of a $21 million suit filed by his longtime promoter, Marcel Avram. He says Mike didn't show up for 2 concerts New Years Eve 2000 and Mike says he thought they'd been canceled so spent the night at home watching TV. ::rolling eyes:::

Jackson wore a surgical mask when entering and leaving the courthouse (gee..wonder why?). His former publicist says he routinely wears the mask "to protect his throat from pollution and germs". Like that reason in itself is a perfectly normal one. You see anyone else walking around with surgical masks on? Perhaps it's to hide the dead, rotting tip of his putty nose. Just to throw out an idea here. What I think we have here is the New Howard Hughes.

I like the wig though. I wasn't aware that the historic (3000 - 1200 BC) tradition of wearing dead marmots on your head had been revived. Are those caterpillar eyebrows? A 1000-yard stare? What a trend setter!

Thirty fans were allowed into the courtroom after winning that "honor" by Lotto.

stay tuned...
