This pic scares the H*LL out of me!!!! Thought I would share. :eek:

Re: J. Lo and Whitney
 

OMG Diane Sawyer is just getting into everybody's business this month! I was sooo embarassed for Whitney for just the little preview I saw. She sounded terrible! And when they were all singing by the piano, why was Bobby swaying from side to side like he was some preacher in a gospel choir? That is one crazy family

Re: Michael Jackson's pic
 

Sorry for the double dose............
:eek:
:confused:
:eek:
:(

WHAT??????
 

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Usher is weird looking. I dont like him. :P

Micheal is well...Michael. Let this be a warning to those who make fun of other's features. Is there ANY Jackson child who did NOT have plastic surgery? (Leave Tito out of this! ha ha!)

Hmm so this is why Michael wears a mask all the time. Why does his nose looks like it's hardening at the tip and the skin is coming off of his nose? Um Michael you can't have eyeliner, liptick, and moustache/beard. He looks pitiful. I didn't think he could look any worse but this takes the cake. I sure wish the Off the Wall, Thriller Michael could come back.

i CANNOT imagine spending good money to look this bad:rolleyes: his plastic surgeon needs to be broudh t before the medical board for giving Michael one too many procedures;) i mean, what is that one the end of his nose?:eek: :confused: :eek: :confused:

Re: Michael Jackson's pic
 

Ok....Hold up, Hooooollllldddd uuuupppp. This can't be a real pic. Please Lord Jesus oh my Soul, say it ain't so. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/eek2.gif

Dayum! I see why he wears that mask...
 

:confused:

That "go-tee" (sp?) is it blonde?

Re: Michael Jackson's pic
 

Okay there is no need for him to go out looking like that. I hope I on't have nightmares about this. http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/...rachlos013.gif

I was thinking the same thing. Whitney sounded like her voice was gone. And Bobby, there was no need for that! And poor Bobbi Kristina was just looking so lost and confused! http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/...fragend006.gif

Re: Michael Jackson's pic
 

UGGGHHHH!!! :eek: :o

LAWD JESUS...................ROTFLMPAO.............:D :eek: :D

LAWD THIS IS FUNNY!

:rolleyes: Well I know one thing, I hope that her hubby is more enthused with this one if in fact she is with child. Because that MTV special she had showing the months of her pregnancy, her hubby didn't seem like he was at all interested.

Re: Re: J. Lo and Whitney
 

:rolleyes: Chal please, he was probably swaying from side to side wondering when the singing was gonna be over so that they could get blasted! I cannot wait to see this interview

I just think she got on his nerves. I know she got on mine. She is to dayum sensitive!
:rolleyes:

I agree with you. Brandy was getting on my nerves. When she cried at the birthing center, I wanted to slap her. I know, why watch. It was like a car wreck. As silly as it was, I couldn't stop watching. I mean, the bib, the birthing coach, etc...

Re:Michael Jackson's pic
 

I am truly traumatized after seeing that picture. Every re-post of it was just as shocking as the first time I saw it. *shivers* Is that really how he looks? OMG!! Someone needs to tell him that he does not look good...AT ALL!!

Poor Bobbi Kristina. She did look lost and confused. She made my heart hurt.

Bobby and Whitney looked like crazy people. Bobby reminded me of Samuel L. Jackson in "Jungle Fever" when he did that little crack dance for money. He seemed way to hyper for a rendition of "Lean on Me". They do not seem well...mentally.

BTW, why is Whitney's voice hoarse like that? Anyone know?

micheal take it off!!!!!
 

that dam wig that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o

Re: Re:Michael Jackson's pic
 

Probably from "Smoking Cigarettes" et. al. ;)


Michael: This HAS to be the reason why he wears the mask. He realizes that he looks TURRIBLE. :eek:

My mother asked me today had I seen MJ's picture and how awful he looked, and here it is on GC. Yes, I heard that is why he is wearing the mask. He was cute in his pre-plastic surgery days. Some people should just leave well enough alone!

About Whitney Houston, on a preview they asked her why was she so thin was she on drugs. Her answer I'm 5'7 I'm suppossed to be thin...chil' pleazzzze!

On another note the new 2pac album comes out Nov.26th...he sure did make alot of music before his passing. I'll be looking out for this one.

Well if you all look at the pic good, he and LaToya look like twins. Lawd if he don't looka mess at best!

As far as Whitney is concerned, someone needs to tie her up and gag her and just take her straight to rehab. I honestly don't see how she is able to come out with a new album. She needs to have a sit down with Natalie Cole.

Brandy, yes she did get on my nerves to, because she is very whiny. And my thing is, if you have the baby in a hospital as opposed to a birthing center who cares, it's certainly nothing to cry over. However, when you are pregnant every little thing that didn't bother you in the past, bothers you and intensifies when you are pregnant!

Re: Re:Michael Jackson's pic
 

...Probably cuz she's "crackish"

I just heard a preview on the local news saying that a 15 yr old girl has been charged in the shooting of Merlin Santana.

Whitney & Bobby
 

Did anyone notice Whit was playing only one note? They reminded me of that non singing couple Ceephus and Reecie on in Living Color. You know the one that used to screw up nursery rhymes.

Re: Whitney & Bobby
 

YEEEESSSS!!! That is soooo true!! Damn, you went waaaaaaaay back, but you are absolutely right. They could pass for Ceephus and Reecie. LOL!! Too funny...

CTFU!!

Re: Whitney & Bobby
 

OMG.............


TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!

Y'ALL ARE KILLIN' ME TONIGHT!!!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Okay y'all I was watching Entertainment Tonight and they interviewed a plastic surgeon to find out what was up with Wacko Jacko's nose.

He said that the bandage (glad he cleared that up for me) ccould mean one of two things:

1. Mike has AGAIN had plastic surgery on his nose! :eek:

OR

2. His nose is seriously damaged. (Okay tell me something I didn't know)

Anyway, I'm going for the second reason. BTW, did anyone else know that bandage was there or was I again having one of my clueless moments?

When the pic was first posted I didn't realize he had a band-aid on his nose. When I saw Inside Edition and they said it was a band-aid then I could see that it was. I just thought his nose was malfunctioning umm hmm. It's all so jacked up anyway so I couldn't tell the beige band-aid from his beige, brown, white, red indented triangle nostril nose. I didn't know he has no feeling in the end of his nose and has a prothesis.

J. Lo Sued over perfume name

Lopez sued over perfume name
Associated Press

-----------------------------

LOS ANGELES (AP) - It might have seemed like a bright idea when Jennifer Lopez agreed to name her new line of perfume "Glow by J. Lo," but the folks at Glow Industries are taking a dimmer view.

The name represents a trademark infringement, according to the Los Angeles-based company, which sells scented products, including a perfume called Glow.

The company, which filed suit in August, went to court Thursday seeking a preliminary injunction stopping Lopez and fragrance partner Coty Inc. from using the name until the matter is resolved.

Attorney Lisa Pearson, who represents Lopez and Coty, argued that the two product lines are packaged and sold to different buyers. Lopez` perfume, lotion and shower gel are found in department stores, she said, while Glow`s bath and body products are sold in specialty stores.

Pearson also pointed out that the names aren`t exactly the same.

"The name is a composite," she said of Glow by J. Lo. "And these are two different genres of products."

U.S District Judge Margaret Morrow ordered both sides to return to court Dec. 6 for another pretrial hearing.

"At this point, she may want us to submit additional evidence on how my client`s business will suffer severely between now and the trial if the injunction is not granted," Glow attorney Arthur Aaronson said.

Police raid "Suge" Knight offices
AAP

-----------------------------

US police have raided the offices and home of rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight as part of an apparent crackdown on Los Angeles gangland murders, police and lawyers said.

Five people were arrested in the dawn raids, including two at the plush Beverly Hills headquarters of Knight`s former Death Row Records, now called Tha Row Records, Los Angeles County Sheriff`s department officials said.

The searches in Los Angeles and the gambling haven of Las Vegas were aimed at recovering weapons that may have been used in killings by Los Angeles` notorious gang networks, whose activities have spread to Las Vegas.

"Investigators are seeking additional evidence related to several homicides and conspiracy to commit murder," said Sergeant Joe Efflandt.

Two Actors Face Child Porn Charges
Nov 16, 7:16 AM EST

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A year-old pornography investigation has led to the filing of criminal charges against two Hollywood actors: Paul Reubens, best known as Pee-wee Herman, and veteran character actor Jeffrey Jones of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

Reubens was charged with one misdemeanor count of possessing materials depicting children under the age of 18 engaged in sexual conduct, said Ana Garcia, a spokeswoman with the City Attorney's office. He surrendered to authorities Friday and was released on $20,000 bail.

Jones, who played the uptight principal and comic foil to Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," was charged with hiring a 14-year-old boy to pose for sexually explicit photos — a felony — as well as misdemeanor possession of child pornography. He was freed on $20,000 bond after surrendering Thursday.

Reubens, 50, and Jones, 56, are acquaintances and both cases stem from the same police investigation, said Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.

"Los Angeles Police Department brought us both cases at the same time in connection with an investigation," Gibbons said Friday.

Reubens could face as much as a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted. If Jones is convicted, he faces up to three years in prison and would have to register as a sex offender for life.

"This is all about photos. There's no allegations of any touching or any improper acts with a minor," Jones' attorney, Jeffrey Brodey, told the Los Angeles Times. "This will be resolved very quickly so he can get on with his life and get back to work."

Brodey did not return a call from The Associated Press on Friday.

Reubens' attorney, Blair Berk, dismissed the charge against his client as "simply untrue and without merit."

"Mr. Reubens has never at any time knowingly possessed any artwork from his extensive vintage and antique art collection even remotely related to anything improper," Berk said in a statement.

Jones is to be arraigned next Thursday. Reubens' arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 19.

Authorities searched the homes of both men on Nov. 16, 2001, according to the offices of the district and city attorneys. The statute of limitations on the misdemeanors would have run out Saturday if charges had not been filed.

Reubens pleaded no contest to an indecent exposure charge in 1991 after he was arrested in Sarasota, Fla., for allegedly exposing himself in a movie theater.

After that plea, Reubens' long-running "Pee-wee Herman Show" was canceled and his star faded, although he has had supporting roles in a number of films since, including "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Blow."

Jones has appeared in dozens of films, including "Amadeus," "Ed Wood" and "Beetlejuice."

Oh that picture of Michael Jackson is horrible! He is the poster child for plastic surgery gone wrong!:eek: :(
