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."

Freak Show Gallery: Click to launch photosWould a savvy operator like Lythgoe really let such a big scoop just slip? Reps for the show had no comment. A rep for Michael Jackson could not immediately be reached.

34. to Anonymous 2 - Perhaps a goverment agency should be looking at you. Last time I checked we still had FREEDOM OF SPEECH.If I were you I would be a little more careful like using words like FBI and goverment agency's . It may come back to haunt you.

37. to EL.... let me guess, you make about $7 hour? Live with your momma? Spend your little bit of money on clothes to make you look like you have money? Dropped out of school in the 8th grade?

I know your type... you are just jealous of the rest of us who live well. Loser.....

Don't forget, living well is the best revenge. ;)

38. $7 an hour? You give that piece of sh*t too much credit - bitch got NO job!! Probably collects a welfare check, food stamps and is behind on his payments to rent-a-center for the computer he's sittin at - suckin on a 40.

Psssssh, EL is classic low life leech. A solid day's work would kill him.

39. Hey Anonymous 2.... I don't think the racists on this post are too worried about anything coming back to "haunt them." The people making racist comments are most likely not going anywhere in life, so they have nothing to lose. Well, they might get beat up if someone recognizes them, I guess that is one way.

40. please "anon 2"... there is no way the FBI would do something stupid like that. Maybe if they hired some idiot, but I understand they have a very rigorous background check.

I'm not defending the racists here, they are pretty pathetic... just pointing out a weak argument. My guess is you are probably a file clerk or work in the mailroom and just wanted an excuse to say "I work for the govt."

Sorry, I'm sure you meant well... I just call them as I see them.

41. Johan, I have three words for you....

42. To # 34: I totally agree with you that education is the key. Education helps to bring people to the table, to talk about their strenths and weaknesses, and to listen politely, and yet with constructive criticism to what each of us has to say. The real strength of America is its diversity and creativity. Any individual who feels superior to another has already lost focus. There are those who wish to divide us by separating us through conflict. That is a mistake and those who fall for such tactics are being used, and not for the common good. It is okay to criticize, but not okay to put one another down. There is a difference. When we learn HOW to talk to one another and to LISTEN, we are on the right path to success. Fighting and calling each other names doesn't solve a thing. It's when we pull together that we really make a difference in the world, and I mean a positive one at that.

45. Oh, I forgot something - EL didn't make past the 5th grade; you can tell from the STUPID postings. EL was forced out of the 5th grade at the age of 16.....the only reason he, or she - showed up was for the free lunches.
