Will Wacko Jacko Bring Glove to "Idol"?

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."

16. Farrah,
If you are looking for Racist, then please look in the mirror..You are the biggest racist here...SHUT THE F*** UP BITCH...i am tired of you complaining...

17. 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.

20. It amazes me just how ignorant some people are. The man was never convicted. I refuset o believe that anyone, whether a celebrity or not, can be charged with 10 counts and be completely cleared, even with a biased media covering the whole thing. The amazing thing is that I am NOT even a Michael Jackson fan. But come on. He was cleared, the case was weak, and the jury saw right through it. It's a shame that we tear down the very few people that we have left with any actual TALENT, but continue to praise people with longer rap sheets, and litle to no REAL talent besides marrying a millionaire(cough, cough), and taking him for everything he's worth. Maybe some of the ignorant people who write comments should take a second to look in the mirror and ask themselves what "innocent until proven guilty ", really means! Every other country that he goes to can wrap their minds around this simple concept. Why can't we?

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

Posted at 2:16PM on Feb 13th 2007 by Farrah's really a white dude

22. 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.

23. When will stupid racist blacks learn that whites aren't offended by the term "cracker"? We laugh when you use it, morons!!!!!!!!

24. To Farrah, EL & all other racists: If you're looking for bigots & racists, just look in the mirror. Or maybe you feel everyone should stoop to your level (7 levels below any sewer) and constantly refer to you as niggers. I DON'T STOOP TO ANYONE!
I wonder why TMZ continues to allow these racists on the site. Freedom of speech is one thing, but this is going too far.

25. I would love to see Jackson leave the US and never come back - oh, he can take the racist loser pigs EL and Farrah with him/it - what ever it is.

Hey EL - how about you kiss my ass? Start from the lucious tangy center and work your way out - you stupid piece of sh*t.

26. You know all of you ran out and got your Bille Jean coat. Leave Michael alone. When Mike was at his peek all of you running around singing Billie Jean is not my son. It didn't matter if you were white or black. I still say Thirller was one of the best albums of our generation. But I do have to say people are not going to keep saying things about you for the last Twenty years.

27. Hey Rusty, you must be one of those whacky Europeans we in America laugh at because you're too fuc*ing stupid to recognize a pedophile when you see one.

28. I hope one day soon, the FBI pulls all of the http addresses (to where the main lines are hooked up at your homes/offices) and find out the name, addresses and phone numbers of the RACISTS on this blog.

Then I hope the FBI post your racists photos on the website (white, blacks, asians, hispanics, etc). Just like the KKK , history has shown us that racists either use a sheet to hide behind or in this case a computer.

The FBI theory is more of a possiblity than you may think -- and in reality it may really come back to haunt you.

Trust me, I work at a government agency that has more access than you may think... Really think before you POST

29. EL and Farrah - you two are a couple of real friggin losers.

30. I hope this happens, it might actually give me a reason to watch the show.
