LOS OLIVOS, Calif. - "Investigators conducting a criminal probe swarmed Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch on Tuesday, a sheriff's spokesman said. The purpose of the search was not disclosed.

Authorities from the Santa Barbara County sheriff's and district attorney's offices served a warrant about 8:30 a.m. as part of an "ongoing criminal investigation," Sgt. Chris Pappas said in a recorded statement on a media information line."

A shame really. When I think back now to when I was growing up... of all of my musical influences, he ranks right up there with the best of them (Elvis, The Beatles, etc.). Despite what people may think of him, the man had a hell of a lot more talent than a lot of "popular artists" I see now. Seems like its's been ages now since he was at the apex of his career and the pinnacle of success. His life has turned into a side-show spectacle with his freakish antics (baby-dangling anyone?) the focus of his surreal lifestyle. What a pity...

even though i like mike....

I knew IT!!!!!!

Even though "if he didn't do it" with a face like that, he'd be suspect...or at least he'd be a good "extra" for one of them Planet of the Apes movies...
Reminds me of that anorexic woman that's been making the rounds on that US TV show Entertainment Tonight....scary....

 

[EscaFlowne]

awwwwwwww that was a good joke!

Actually, I do give much props to Mike though. If it weren't for his dancing, many people wouldn't be good, or even have a standard to live up to. When I saw the special on Fox (or was it NBC?) I felt really sorry for the guy. But the whole baby dangling and the recent allegations on him about molesting a 12 year old is just too much for me to forgive. The man may have a lot of talent, but just shouldn't be taking advantage of children. Ugh....... not right........

Oh and I did see that Inside Edition, and that woman was just creepy as hell. People, never do that to your bodies.........please!!

 

[den4]

Sarge: Yeah, Mike has talent...but he's not quite right upstairs these days...doing stupid crap like that baby dangling.....I dunno about the 12 year old, since that could be just a trap for ol' Mike, what with people doing anything for money these days....
but yeah, that woman on Entertainment Tonight is a real sad example...and her whining....ugh! I like the doctor, though....he just doesn't put up with her crap...

I hope that doctor can help that woman. What did she weigh? 58 pounds or something like that? Very scary and very sad.

I just stopped by my grandma's, and she of course was watching CNN Breaking News when Michael was arriving to the airport from wherever he'd been. They were following his car with cameras from the airport to the police station, O.J. style.

OH NO!!!! NOT ANOTHER YEAR LONG MEDIA TRIAL!!!! MAYBE PREZ BUSH SHOULD LAUNCH ANOTHER CAMPAIGN NOW AGAINST N. KOREA TO AVOID A MICHAEL JACKSON MEDIA TRIAL!!!
The circus will be in full swing then, with gladatorial matches between self-styled media/court experts that go blah blah blah all day everyday 24-7 hyping up speculation as if it were fact...
Now I know how Neil Page (Steve Martin's character) feels when listening to Del Griffith (John Candy) on that Planes, Trains and Automobiles movie...hmm...must be nearing Thanksgiving if I'm getting visual memories of that movie now..

I think these are false allegations against him. 1)The police only have what a 12-year old has said about, no other evidence then that. 2)How many fbi agents does it take to search Micheal jackson's house? Way to many. Why did they have so many people check the premises? Because they were looking for some thing to get him on, because they have nothing on him. If the boy told the police were jackson had 'molested' the child wouldn't they only need 2 or 3 agents to check that area. I heard they sent in like 30 agents to check over the house. 3)Everyone knows jackson's a little nutty (probably off of drugs) so what perosn in their right mind would leave their child alone with the man huh? just think about those points of my opinions for a minute.

 

[Sgt. Wang]

I think it's all just creepy................


UGH!!! With a 12 year old even! It's just ludacris. Poor kid and whatnot.........

 

[Sgt. Wang]

I don't know about the false accusations thingy, but creepy indeed.
