Will Wacko Jacko Bring Glove to "Idol"?

Posted Feb 13th 2007 1:10PM by TMZ Staff

JackoCourtney Love on "American Idol" -- intriguing. Michael Jackson on "Idol" -- shocking!

It could happen, though, if certain hints dropped by "Idol" producers are to be believed. Realitytvmagazine.com reports that "several signs" point to the possibility that Michael Jackson will have his own "Idol" theme-week, and might even "mentor" the impressionable young talent on the show.

Why all the Jackson buzz? First of all, "Idol" producers have hinted for weeks at a "big event show" during this season. Also, reports have swirled that Jackson has turned to "Idol" creator Simon Fuller to help revive his flagging career, perhaps involving a comeback show in Las Vegas. Finally, in a recent conference call, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe explained the show's impenetrable wall of silence around contestants, and used Jackson as an example, saying they wouldn't want it to "slip out with somebody telling their mom that Michael Jackson is coming."

1. I wish America would stop welcoming back this pedophile with open arms.

He needs to go back to Bahrain and put the burka back on.

2. Ha ha, you got that right. But you never know since the brother is now WHITE!!

BTW, why would AI think bringing a pedophile on the show is a good thing?

3. Keep whacko Jacko away from the teenage boys on the show. Cuz, you know, sleeping in the same bed with boys is perfectly appropriate.

6. Farrah - you are a bigot, you have countless times said derogatory things about Jews, probably why you defend this freak. You are a disgrace to the memory of MLK and belong in the cesspool of a life you no doubt live in.

Btw, why would you want to defend someone who has done almost everything he can to try to not look black? He is a disgusting freak and I bet you are.

7. Michael Jackson is not only a pedophile, he is a bigot!

8. He's going to "mentor" the talent? Are they lowering the minimum age to 9?

9. He coincidentally developed a hatred for Jews at the same time his career was going down the toilet. He's not man enough to admit his role in killing his career so he had to blame somebody. From a once great performer to a complete piece of human sh*t.

12. Go to hell crackers and cracker lovers? If this is a statement made by a black person - you're a friggin loser. It's not 1970, or 60 - it's 2007 you a**hole. Get with the program; you're NOT getting any reparations check, GET OVER IT.

13. Remeber guys, Farrah is a prep white guy from Montana. Blacks really aren't that unintelligent.

14. oh boy ..here we go again..

15. I would love to see a Michael Jackson week on Idol whether he is there or not. He has an amazing catalog of material for the contestants to cover. Of course if he actually came, that would be icing on the cake. Whatever his personal problems he is still an incredible performer.
