Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2005 Why does a man in his forties who lives in the lap of luxury in California have to be rushed to hospital for "flu"? Just shows you what twenty-odd years of extreme plastic surgery does to your immune system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest One Man Jury Posted February 16, 2005 Singer Jackson rushed to hospital Michael Jackson is rushed to hospital on his way to court in California, with his lawyer saying he is "very ill". Michael Jackson rushed to hospital There are rumours on the internets that he was D.O.A. (dead on arrival). That brings tears to your eyes! Probably the same effect he had on his alleged victums!

Rotten Ali 600 Posted February 17, 2005 I bet this Jacko / hospital / flu thing is either just a big stunt to make us all feel sorry for the crackpot or more likely just another side effect of previous poor plastic surgery that means his nose would completely fall off if ever it touched a 2ply andrex tissue!

Larry Pestilence III 6 Posted February 17, 2005 I have no sympathy for Jacko. Yes he had his childhood stolen from him, but so have many others. The difference? They got over it. The phrase "Cupid Stunt" comes to mind*. *With thanks to the late, great, Kenny Everett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminator 13 Posted February 21, 2005 It's a good job, Jacko wasn't allowed any of his kids to visit him in hospital..... Luckily, he could only get to dangle a teddy bear out of the window this time. Coutesy www.bbc.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluesDragon 0 Posted February 27, 2005 When i first glimpsed at that article i was going to say, it's not like she died or anything. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted February 27, 2005 The outcome of that lawsuit is going to be hard to predict. The hospital may be at fault for moving the patient so that Michael Jackson could get the room, but then the question is would be would she have died anyway? The lady in question was 74 and in frail health and had suffered a massive heart attack, so the chances of her dying was already significant. My guess is they will probably settle it out of court. Michael might just give her family some cash like he did with that boy's family in the early 1990's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluesDragon 0 Posted February 28, 2005 He can hardly be held liable. It's all the hospitals fault. But it does seem she was pretty near death anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted February 28, 2005 Wasn't that Jacko's dad I saw on the telly today? He was looking a bit doddery. I remember he was in hospital last year for bleeding ulcers or something. Has he ever been considered for the list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted March 1, 2005 Hmmm, is Michael Jackson's dad famous enough? I suppose he would be, if only for the fact that besides siring the various Jackson kids, he also beat them with some degree of regularity, thereby ensuring his own level of fame independent of merely being their parent. By the way, my take on the trial is that Jacko won't go down (insert smutty joke or sN-word), at least not on the main charges. The DA has an old vendetta from the allegations 10+ years ago (criminal case dropped, civil case settled out of court), and the kid's parents have a track record of using allegations of improper behavior to extort money. He's weird, to say the least, lacks any kind of boundaries in what is and is not appropriate behavior, but methinks he's got a pretty shrewd defense counsel who will punch enough holes in the prosecution's case. I could see them settling for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, suspended sentence probation, etc. but no jail time. In case anyone cares.....

Jacko's recruited the usual suspects if he wants to play a racial card. Does anyone know if he's also employed Barry Scheck?

Think you will find that Joe Jackson is already famous enough to be listed. On Rotten.com's deadpool the 75 year old has been picked 110 times (Wacko Jacko has been picked 2,815 times) from the 35,000 odd players. At the Oscars, Clint Eastwood made a joke about his age and pointed to his mother age (Margaret Ruth Runner, born 1909) In her case I do question the obituary position - as just "Clint Eastwood's mother", I don't think it's very likely. However I think a British news obit' would just be on the cards for Sylvester Stallone's mother (Jacqueline Labofish) since her appearance on Channel 4 Celebrity Big Brother.

Mortician 2 Posted March 2, 2005 As for deaths, perhaps Martin Bashir will meet with a dreadful accident. Would be quite fitting really as he started the passion for sychophantic celebrity based non news stories polluting the British broadcast media with the bloody Di interview. As for the trial, the defence will spend its entire time trashing the kids and parents, diverting all attention. Keep offering an out of court settlement and then leak it to the press that the parents are money grabbing. The bizarre thing is that if he got convicted and served a little jail time he would be better off in his career than if he's acquitted. The US seem to love reformed stars, look at Martha Stewart ready for her new broadcast deal, once she leaves Club Fed. One thing does come to mind, isn't it a shame that during the filming of Thriller he never dressed up as Uncle Fester? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember the scene in the park where Jacko says to his bird that "I'm not like other guys". Do you get the feeling they edited out his next line..."I'm actually more like Gary Glitter"?

Keep offering an out of court settlement and then leak it to the press that the parents are money grabbing. I agree with you on that point, but I think that the outcome of the trial will hinge almost entirely on the testimony from the 2 boys involved. If the do an excellent job and appear credible, then I believe that Michael Jackson's defense will attempt to plead to a lesser charge, but if they do poorly, then the prosecution may offer him a deal that may involve little or no jail time. The bizarre thing is that if he got convicted and served a little jail time he would be better off in his career than if he's acquitted. The US seem to love reformed stars, look at Martha Stewart ready for her new broadcast deal, once she leaves Club Fed. I disagree with you on that on that point. People generally tend to shy away from anyone convicted of child molestation. The advertisers would not have anything to do with him, as it would create bad publicity for them.
