You're not alone. The carnival atmosphere that occurs when a celebrity - or even a classmate - dies really disgusts me. Flowers, candles, teddy bears - please! Give them to a children's hospital, or someone else who can really use them.

So last night I went to a benefit for a theater, and there was dancing involved. The DJ was playing a lot of MJ songs. The dancing was hilarious because it was really a cross section of all walks of life at this event. There was this middle aged, weird white guy wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt who was trying to do a lot of MJ moves. Some were good, others looked like he was doing tae-bo

Then Thriller comes on. (we had actually started to leave, but ran back in to witness the trainwreck that was sure to ensue). At first, we were very disappointed that sweatpants guy doesn't know the dance to Thriller. Young guy across the dance floor, who has been one of those dancing-show-offs all evening (you know the guys, the ones that always have to be the center of the circle) actually knows the moves and starts doing them.

Sweatpants guy doesn't like someone taking the spotlight off him. So he proceeds to begin an honest-to-God dance off with young guy. He is getting all in his face with his "dance" moves/tae bo. Young guy plays along (if I were him I would've punched the idiot for getting in my face). They are totally having a dance battle.

Funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. Straight out of some cheesy movie, but the guys involved were so not cool!

MJ, bringing all ages, races and walks of life together with their terrible dance moves!

Yes. Fun people are fun. Too bad you seemed to overanalyze their fun.

Someone was asking about the kids, and I think Dateline is saying that their "mother" doesn't really have rights to them, but she may try to come back into the picture.

I think they're saying that legally, the kids will most likely go to his mother Katherine right now.

I feel so badly for them. They were apparently home when was taken to the hospital. That's so sad.

Am I the only one who never believed (and I still don't) that those kids are biologically his?

I was watching Dateline this evening and I know that they were saying that the youngest is adopted (but that Jackson never said from where). I don't particularly think the other 2 are his bio kids myself.

I also love how every Dr. who has ever treated him or prescribed him anything is now on the news talking about how many meds he was taking and how dangerous it is. Would have been nice for someone to have said something about it while he was alive. I'm not sure he would have listened though.

Maybe they did - we don't know what his doctors said to him, whether he listened to their treatment instructions, and we probably never will know for sure.

I do think it's a bit sketchy for someone's doctors to start speaking publically about one of their patients, even after their death.

I completely agree. Does the doctor/patient confidentiality agreement go out the window upon the patient's death? (That's a serious question - I really don't know.)

Deepak Chopra, never one to shun the spotlight, was quoted as saying that while MJ was in treatment at his center, he asked for a pain pills prescription. Dr. Chopra was like, "why?," and MJ was obviously lying and then he admitted he was in pain. At that point, Chopra realized that MJ was no doubt surrounded by people willing to give him anything he wanted--including large amounts of prescription drugs.

Also, it looks like he found less and less reputable doctors to fulfill his wishes when his top-of-the-line docs said no. I mean, this doctor who was with him when he died wasn't even board-certified.

Yeah, he had monkey skeletons in his closest though. I haven't seen bubbles in years. Have you?

So various gossip blogs are reporting that Evan Chandler is coming forward now and saying that his molestation allegations were lies (and that his dad, Jordan Chandler, coerced him into making them). I don't know how much truth there is to that at this time though.

I believe him (this time). I never thought Michael was guilty of doing anything to him. I felt like it was a ploy all along to get money.

Actually Jordy is the son (supposedly molested by MJ) and Evan is the dad.

There's no doubt that some of the kids that were around Neverland a lot were from exceptionally effed-up families, Macauley Culkin being a basic example. Whether Michael "preyed" on these kids or whether the kids were drawn to Michael because of the similar effed-upness in their lives, hard to say.
