Wacko Jacko's Auction Drama

Posted May 20th 2007 3:08AM by TMZ Staff

More than 20,000 of Michael Jackson's belongings will be auctioned off at the end of this month, including some of his bizarre sex toys and paintings of nude young boys.

Richard Altomare purchased the King of Pop's collection of oddities from a former Jackson business partner. He was planning on withholding the truly naughty stuff from the auction house, but then Jackson got a temporary restraining order and Altomare threatened to offer them up. After Page Six ran a story on the collection, and the weird array of sex paraphernalia included, it seems Jackson's camp had a change of heart.

Jackson dropped the restraining order and is now allowing Altmare to go ahead with the auction as planned. In exchange, Jacko will get to take 20 items from the auction first, probably the dirty goods. "Mr. Jackson is satisfied with the negotiated settlement," said his spokesperson.

7. Just imagine how big you would have been today and how may great hits he would have accumulated - had his career continued to grow without any controversies



He could have attained Mythical status - similar to The Beatles and Elvis.

8. Now why would someone who says that he is not a pedophile have pictures of young nude boys. Amazing what money and power can do eh. Just another case of the rich and famous getting away with anything they want. No one will ever convince me, for one, that he was innocent.

10. He has paintings of nude young boys? What a pervert; I guess all those complaints of child molestation are true. Why does the public put up with this disgusting child predator?

11. TMZ, you failed to mention that not all the items that are up for auction are Michael's. They belong to the entire family and the pictures of nude boys you are talking about?? They belong to Tito. They are pictures of his 3 kids . . . when they were BABIES! But I guess if you told the ENTIRE story, it wouldn't be as juicy. And by the way, Michael Jackson IS on the same level as the Beatles and Elvis. People just refuse to give him the same respect.

12. Katie - sorry to tell you but Michael Jackson is NOT in the same league as the Beatles and Elvis and never will be. Any level he might have attained was totally taken away with all of the 'weirdness' that surrounds him.

13. Micheal Jackson is and always will be a freak...I wonder what he thinks about the decisions he has made in his life....now on to really important stuff. I am appealing to TMZ readers to help us save a show recently cancelled by CBS..please sign the online petition to save Jericho.

15. What is with this site and calling people names his name is Michael Jackson, not wacko Jacko no matter what you think of him! any way I'd like to thank #14 Katie for telling the truth about the nude pics that are not his, I had just heard that they were not on another site. Why does everyone have to put him down leave him alone if you don't like him, please just get a life that does'nt involve him in your thoughts.
MJ rules!!
