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."

61. I realize those stats are ten years old... so here is a bit of an update.

As you can see, not much has changed. In other words, the more educated you are, the less likely you are to hold anti-semitic beliefs.

63. Most of the Jurors on the Jackson trial believe he is a pedophile. They said so after he trial during interviews. They now regret the 'not guilty' verdict..

65. Judson, not everyone who dislikes Michael Jackson is a racist.

I dislike him mainly from the standpoint that he has made (and sang!) negative remarks in the past about other religions for example, as other posters have pointed out. As for the allegations against him, I guess we may never know... but the details of the case (and other allegations) sure make you wonder.

Anyway, you can defend him all you want... as long as he says nasty things about other religions than yours, you are are ok with that, right?

Figures.....

68. mike said "Most of the Jurors on the Jackson trial believe he is a pedophile. They said so after the trial during interviews. They now regret the 'not guilty' verdict.."

More lies...
3 out of the 12 said this and all three were a lot older and closed minded. Let's be honest about this.

I blame the American public for this. We shouldn't let the Right Wing media control and influence us. Most Americans can be so simple minded. They just believe whatever they see on TV. That is why we still have a president who flat out lied to us and got re-elected. DO some thinking on your own people!!! The "fans" who believed that Michael is innocent are the same people that FOLLOWED the case and read the transcripts. They didn't fall for those smear shows on FOX news or Court TV. For god's sake, the kid's own testimony was all over the place. AND did you know that the original date that the kid said Michael molested him, Michael wasn't even in the country then. His case had more holes then a cheese grater.

69. To all of you who are badmouthing Michael Jackson, your noses will be glued to the TV watching him on AI and tapping your feet to the beat of his music. LOL!

70. A person cannot just "forget about" a man who, in ALL probability molested little boys. That is one of the things so wrong with our system of justice. It's not about black and white it's about rich and poor. If you have enough money you can buy your way out of child molestation, rape and even murder. I sure as hell wouldn't let my young son anywhere near this freak who has stated SLEEPING WITH LITTLE BOYS IS NOT INAPPROPRIATE. All that he accomplished years ago has now been overshadowed by his sexual fondness for kids. We should never forget that. Just because a jury did not find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt does not mean we have to assume him innocent. He was aquitted only because of his fame and wealth. That he is now broke, shunned and without a career is poetic justice.

71. "SLEEPING WITH LITTLE BOYS IS NOT INAPPROPRIATE"

Um.... I agree. Although you are showing your ignorance christy by that statement. Michael never said those words. The media did. Michael used the words, "I don't see what's wrong with SHARING your bed with a CHILD". Get it right. You are just like all the other HATERS. Spin it the way you want. He never said sleep and little or young boys. Good try though.

72. Okay "the truth", how about the kid MJ paid MILLIONS to in order to gain his silence?
Hmmm? Are you really so stupid as to believe this freak, who admittedly sleeps with little boys isn't a sick fu*k? If this is any indication of your judgment skills I really hope you don't have kids.

73. "Okay "the truth", how about the kid MJ paid MILLIONS to in order to gain his silence?


You mean the kid whose MJ's INSURANCE paid, against HIS WISHES. You can look it up if you don't believe me, the mainstream press doesn't want you to know that MJ's insurance company over-ruled his decision to fight the previous case. Why don't you do a little research and think for yourself instead of just regurgitating the crap you hear on TV. It was on the smoking gun website as well for god's sake as a court document. Use your mind Christy, you might find out that it works. And yes, I have kids and I teach them to have an open mind and not listen to ignorant people.

74. Can you explain the difference between stating sleeping with kids is not inappropriate and "I see nothing wrong with sharing a bed with a child"? It's the exact same thing, but nice try with the semantics game! Do your kids sleep alone with grown men?
I think it's lovely though that you would teach a child to have an open mind with regards to pedophiles. It's a good thing this is an anonymous board or I personally would report you to child protective services, you are WAY too stupid to be trusted to care for a dog, much less a child.

P.S. Why would an insurance co. pay millions to a child to shut him up? They must be getting ALOT more philanthropic these days to give that kind of dough to a kid with no claim!!

75. Why is everybody in here going to the edge of their stupidity?!! I dont understand. If MJ is coming to Idol, both MJ and Idol will be earning big bucks through publicity or generating controvercies... Why spoiling our mouths speaking sh*t...
