Celebrity Justice
Karr's Jackson Connection

John Mark Karr wants people to know he's just like Michael Jackson.

The former suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey case, who maintains he was involved in the killing even though DNA evidence proves otherwise, draws a parallel to the King of Pop in an interview with Dr. Keith Ablow.

When asked his ex-wife Quientana Ray's accusations that he drugged her while they were married, Karr notes a similarity to the molestation suit filed against Jackson. "I think that was said about Michael Jackson too, that whole drugging thing," says Karr, "and I think what happens is that sometimes, especially when there is a media blitz like that, people just start throwing out everything in the mix."

The interview with John Mark Karr will air it its entirety Tuesday on "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show," where he'll also address his own childhood, his appreciation of child actresses and his feelings about the Ramsey family.

1. Keep this man in the news and under a spot light. With enough people watching him, maybe he won't be able to live out his fantasies. The really scary part is that there are many others just like him, but we don't know who they are. Keep your children close.

3. Why in hell do all these journalists and TV commentators even bother with this goddamn degenerate? They're playing right into his desperate need for fame and notoriety. In the process, they'll make him a millionaire and, in the eyes of some, a miserable role model. Idiots!!!!

4. I think this man is seriously troubled and his statements reflect that. However, I feel the headline of this "news" story is slanted and leads one to think there is some real connection with Mr. Jackson. So he said some flip comment comparing his media frenzy to that of Michael's? There is no connection to the two stories at all, and I think its just a headline to further attack Michael and to grab attention. Our media coverage is so slanted. Truth be told this creep should have never gotten his 5 minutes of fame. I think this attention is just what Karr is after and I wish the media would ignore his story altogether.

5. I think that he is just plain weird, and that he's enjoying every second of being in the spotlight and will milk it for all that it's worth. If the attention starts to wane, then he will do/say something else to fan the flames again. That's what's wrong today: the bizarre/sick things that people do, put them in the spotlight and they make money off of it. Look at Monica Lewinski, Heidi Fleiss, etc.
As someone else said, there are more people like him and worse, that no one knows about yet-some living right next door or in the neighborhood. People do need to keep an eye on their kids, but many won't until something happens. And once that blows over, they will go back once again, to letting their kids go and play unattended.

6. This man needs to die. Seriously.

7. This man should be rotting in prison not giving TV interviews. Only in America would a degenerate, wacko, sicko like that become a celebrity. His dreams have come true! P.S. I find it strange that his computer which held all the child pornography was misplaced by the police and that he got a free flight home from Bangkok dining on prawns and champagne...compliments of the tax payers!

8. This man is sick, but to compare him with Michael Jackson is even sickest.

When there's no Jackson in the press, you always can print some fake pictures of a woman claiming is him or link his name with this kind of people. Sick.

10. TMZ this guy is NOT a celebrity. So what's up with your obsession?

11. Lets see, this FREAK sends out emails ,so much so that it gains the attention of the Boulder D.A. He is whisked out on a first class/champagne drinking flight back to the U.S., all paid for by the tax payers of Colorado.

He is then taken to California, to which he was facing charges of Pornography, yet the Barney Fifes of CA lost that evidence...

Then he is proceeded to be courted by ABC, and now Dr Ablow, where he receives even MORE publicity, and having limo rides, hotel and airfare paid for, and plus his name will NOW always be connected to Jon Benet Ramsey.

He is akind to the FREAK show, at a circus. The more crazy stunts this man pulls, the more his name is being put in the media, the more the public will read about his antics or what he has to say.

He isn't dumb. He is playing the public and media. Now who are the sicko's, denginerates, the FREAKS? The media that will give this guy anymore of his 15 mins of fame, and the public who will be viewing Dr. Ablows show to see what this FREAK of NATURE has to say...

Anything for ratings.

12. JUST LOOKING AT THIS GUY MAKES ME SICK. Please don't put him on here again.

Why would you even waste a minimal space GLORIFYING HIS SICK ASS.?
It's obvious he loves attention and will stop at nothing to get it. Does he actually think by comparing himself to MIchael Jackson that it is a GOOD THING ? I hope I never have to look at this guys FEMININE FACE again. He really grosses me out.

13. Post #9 : Donna : Well said. This guy is obviously INSANE. He needs to commited to some mental ward somewhere and locked up. It's hard to believe he can roam the streets freely. It's difficult to believe we don't have a Law somewhere that makes it legal to put his ass behind bars.

If he lived in my neighborhood I would lock my kids in the house. They would be going nowhere without a can of pepper spray and a really mean BIG DOG who likes to eat frail pediphiles........ ha ha lol... This guy is a loser with a capitol L. If I never see him again it will be too soon.

Post #4 Maven : Of course you hit the nail on the head with your comments. Anything for ratings. How low will these journalists sink to get a story? This tells it all. What scum.

14. I can't believe TMZ is giving this scumbag publicity.

Class it up, Levin.
