I'm Betting Drugs

He may have been an awful human, but back when he was still black the kid could dance.

Vale, sort of.

    Farah Fawcett has died as well.

    Coincidence?

    Probably.

    Someone's Always Tryin' To Keep My Baby Cryin'
    Treacherous, Cunnin', Declinin'
    You Got My Baby Cryin'

    I Said You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
    You Got To Be Startin' Somethin'

    Lift Your Head Up High
    And Scream Out To The World
    I Know I Am Someone
    And Let The Truth Unfurl
    No One Can Hurt You Now
    Because You Know What's True
    Yes, I Believe In Me
    So You Believe In You
    Help Me Sing It, Ma Ma Se,

    I thought a mid-80s gloomy orchestral goth rock band would be right up your alley, Ramon.

    *sniff* Just when you think you know someone they turn around and shatter your world. This is just like the day I found out Trent Reznor was a big fan of Milli Vanilli.

    Uri Geller is reportedly 'devastated'.

    Unfortunately Jacko's death has overshadowed Farrah's brave fight against cancer.

    What will Today Tonight run with first? What a dilemma.

    You know Off the Wall was the first album I ever bought. I totally LOVED it and spent many hours not only listening to it but staring at that album cover. I think it was the start of my sexual awakening, Jackson was my first celebrity crush. I was disappointed when he had his nose done before Thriller and then it was all downhill after that. But for a couple of years (79/80) he was IT for me.

    My Dad always hated MJ and Madonna which made me always love them more. You can't take away what MJ did for music and dance and he practically invented the music video. Okay he was weird but Im still not 100% sure if he was a pedophile or just loved kids and was naive. He did do a lot of legitimate charity work for disadvantaged kids. I wonder if Debbie whats her name will get custody of the kids?

    Interesting article from earlier this year:

    http://news.softpedia.com/news/Michael-Jackson-Hands-Kids-over-to-Sister-Janet-105547.shtml

    Seems his health was failing and he organised for Janet to take the kids if he died.

    I got totally sucked into the Jeff Goldblum death hoax this morning.. was genuinely upset about it too! I really must stop believing things I see on teh interwebs.

    I'm with EMS on that one - he's quirky but oddly attractive. Must be the intellect that sparkles through. Mind you, he does have HUGE ears. If you hadn't noticed that before, you will now!

    I never forgot that 'what am I? chopped liver?' line from the big chill. He isn't the most attractive movie star for sure - gives hope to us all.

    Not that I believed even for a second he was dead, but don't you worry about me. Even if he had kicked the bucket, I've got plenty of other weird, slightly dirty and wrong celebrity crushes to keep me going for eons. Or at least until I'm eighty.

    Lewd Bob, shouldn't you be getting ready for Perseus's shindig this evening?

    Aren't you supposed to be MC-ing the undesirable friends he doesn't want mingling with his harem of possible conquests?

  31. Lewd BobJune 27, 2009 at 6:38 PM

    I intend to bring down his plans from within. I'm going to rally the people and bring about a TSFKA revolution.

    There'll be screams from the harem:

    "The bloggers are revolting!"

    I've had parties before where groups of disparate friends come along and hang out together in small groups and never mingle with each other. It's an absolute nightmare for the host who knows all the groups, having to go from one to the other all night.

    So since in this case it's Perseus, please take notes and reveal his pain to the blogging world tomorrow.

    You know, I hadn't noticed the ears before. I'll have to have a very close look next time Law and Order's on.

    Funny thing is, I used to have a crush on a boy at high school who was a wing nut. Maybe I have an ear fetish?

    Trent Reznor was a big fan of Milli Vanilli.

    Boogey, anything Trent did pre-1989 doesn't count. 'Down in it' is the thin, awkwardly rapping line.
