Wacko Jacko's Auction Drama

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.

31. Number 14 was not me!!!! This King of Creep should go back to the desert.....This is gross. Who would want anything from his hell hole? #14, you are a blind idiot!!1 The Beatles and Elvis EARNED the respect of their fans............ It is NOT OKAY FOR AN ADULT MALE TO HANG OUT WITH LITTLE BOYS...........That act alone is so far off the creep radar. Why doesn't he just vanish........

32. I WILL SAVE MY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS MICHEAL JACKSON SAGA UNTIL THERE IS ENOUGH PROOF THAT IN FACT THIS AUCTION STORY STUFF IS TRUE. PEOPLE MUST FIRST LEARN TO GATHER THE FACTS BEFORE MAKING JUDGEMENTS. I WATCH THE JACKSON CASE, AND IT WAS EVIDENT TO ME THAT THAT BOY WAS NOT MOLESTED, I AM CONVINCE THAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT HIS MONEY. THE FAMILY WAS EVIDENTLY LYING. IF THEY HAVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT JACKSON WAS GUILTY, HE WOULD BE IN PRISON, MONEY OR NO MONEY. REMEMBER HE IS BLACK ON THE INSIDE. MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING HE IS GUILTY, IS BECAUSE OF PREJUDICE AND GRUDGE. WHAT IS SURELY EVIDENT IS THAT THAT BOY'S MOTHER IS A GOLD DIGGER, AT LEASTY THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT!!!!!!

33. I truly don't think anyone is surprised about these items, but they don't worry me as much as the fact that he has children living with him, his children.. Have you noticed he manages to keep them out of this Country and away from our Laws. His own private collection of boys.

34. #24 taniqua -- First off, TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK!! And then, do some math. If the auction started at 20,000 and then went to 100,000, that would not warrent the phrase "and getting fewer as the days go by." No offense, but get your head out of where it is and start dealing with the fact that although Wacko had everything going for him, he gave it all up to diddle little boys.

35. #14 Your right, TMZ forgot to add a lot more to this story. That being, Universal Express and it's CEO, Mr. Richard Altomare better hope they make a lot of money from this auction. Because on April 2, the SEC order Universal Express to pay 21.9 MILLION, and Altomare was order to pay $3.1 MILLION, for violating securities trading laws by selling unregistered shares of Universal Express AND ISSUING MISLEADING PRESS RELEASES to inflate the value of those securities. It therefore appears that Mr. Altomare has a habit of misleading the public when he want their money!

36. #4 here is a little F.Y.I. for you. Michael Jackson ain't broke. LOL!

On April 16, 2007, Sony/ATV (which Jackson is a 50% partner) acquired the entire Leiber & Stoller catalog. Billboard magazine called it one of the most sought after catalogs in the world. In my opinion ALL of the songs contained within are classics. This catalog contains 20 of ELVIS PRESELY'S greatest hits, including "Love Me Tender", "Hound Dog", and "Jail House Rock". It also contains, "Stand By Me", "Kansas City", "Love Potion #9", "Yakety Yak", "Poison Ivy", "Charlie Brown", "There Goes My Baby", "Smokey Joe's Cafe", and "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town", just to name a few.

So the next time you hear any of these songs in a commerical, television program, movie, or stage production, just remember that it will be Michael Jackson who reaps the publishing benefits. CHA-CHING! LOL!

37. Michael beats Elvis and The Beatles. Hell, he OWNS the Beatles catalogue and has rocords over both. What people ignore with Elvis was the fact that he was a wife beeater, adulterer that abused drugs. people are willing to look the other way. But a man has an auction with pictures of Tito's nude children at age 3 and the headlines scream, "Michael has pictures of young nude boys."

So typical!

39. I watched the latest child molesting case against MJ ,and it's mock show, and it was VERY CLEAR that MJ did NOT touch that boy. It's a shame that it is so easy for people to pass judgement on others. Not one of us is perfect. Not one of us posting here really knows whether MJ ever touched a child in a way that he shouldn't have, yet you post as if you were right there in the room and saw it yourself. Shame on you. I hope that one day you and or one of your family is accused of doing something you did not do. Only then will you know the suffering that comes with passing of a false judgement. i am sure that you yourself have NEVER been wrong in your assumptions before. Could it be that you are the one who is really commiting a sin Thou shalt not bear false wittness against another? I have never met MJ and I am not a huge fan but I do believe in the US rule innocent until proven quilty! I am a victim of a violent sexual assult and I do personally know the suffering that comes with that but I, just like the jury, still think MJ was innocent.

40. You Jackson supporters are ALL incredibly blind if you think he was innocent of molesting little boys. He was as guilty as sin, but fame and money got him out of it. Someday he will be caught and convicted. Serial pedophiles like Michael Jackson cannot stop their pattern of behavior. This person is truly mentally ill and the kids that he purchased are suffering the most because of it.

41. 12. 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.

GROW UP, BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE...THOSE PICTURES BELONG TO MICHAEL JACSON THE PEDOIPHILE...TO HAVE A WOMAN BACK THIS PEDOPHILE IS MORE DISGUSTING THAN HIS PEVERTED SEX TOYS AND BOYS. GET A GRIP THE DUDE IS A PEDOPHILE AND HIS CAREER WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ...NO ONE TRUST THIS PEDOPHILE...AND I SURE IN THE HELL WOULD NOT TRUST HIM AROUND MY BOYS. YOU MY DEAR ARE AS CREEPY AS THAT WHOLE FAMILY

42. michael jackson is up there with john wayne gacy, jeffery dahmer, any catholic pedophile priests, and any rapist in jail...do not compare this pedophile with the beatles or elvis presley, these are great entertainers.....pedophile mike will be remembered for his pedophilia and not his music....who in the hell would buy this child molestings recordings anymore.

43. If Michael Jackson was a pedophile, he would be in prison. It would have been easy to convict him, especially with the accuser taking the stand. But 12 jurors, in a very affluent California neigborhood, saw through the lies and Michael Jackson is a free, innocent man. And as I said before, Michael Jackson is an icon along with Elvis and The Beatles. That may upset some of you but it is what it is.

44. IF THERE WAS ANY EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT JACKSON WAS GUILTY HE WOULD BE IN PRISON. THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED AND CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM TO GO. COURT TV (nancy, gloria, and others), tom sedon, FOUND HIM GUILTY EVEN WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF EVIDENCE. JACKSON IS AN ICON AND ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER, HE IS INCOMPARABLE, AND HE STAND TALL ABOVE THE BEATTLES AND PRESLEY, black or white. MICHEAL IS SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE PACK, LIKE IT OR NOT!! IF MICHEAL IS A CHILD MOLESTER, WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? LIES? THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT HELP IT GOING AROUND COVETING AND BEING HATERS.YOU PEOPLE STRESS ABOUT JACKSON AND SIMPSON, WHAT ABOUT BLAKE? THERE WERE EVIDENCE, ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVIICT HIM! SO WHERE ARE THE JACKSON AND SIMPSON HATERS, ARE YOU BLIND? EVERYBODY'S LIFE IS IMPORTANT NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, OR WHO THE PERPRETRATORS ARE. IT'S SIMPLE, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, AND TO TOP IT OFF, CONFLICTING TESTIMONIES AND LIES FROM BOTH THAT BOYS AND MOTHER, NO ONE AND EARTH SHOULD BE CHARGED, AFTER ALL THAT CROP. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE SOME MORE EMOTIONS FROM THAT "limolester" and "gold digger". MAMMA DIGGER AND THOSE LIMOLESTERS WERE COACHED ALONG WITH OTHERS WHO CONSPIRED TO BRING JACKSON DOWN, PERIOD!!! GET IT?

45. I think we make to big of a deal out of protecting our childern. Life is not enjoyable anymore, we think everyones going to rape our childern. We call everyone that has any intrust in kids a pedofile. The programs I remember as a child are not there anymore. They where taken away by parents afraid of pedophiles. A coach cant touch a guy on the back or hug him anymore without being fired from his job. I dont like the way this country is ran, kids cant be kids anymore. There are worse things in this world than having your privets touched by a person. We focus on this to much, I dont think Micheal did anything. Micheal did a million good things for people and kids before all this came to light. We only remember the bad but we always forget the good. I was raped as a child, yes it was hurtful but it wasnt the worst thing thats happened to me in my life. It didnt mess me up beyound beleaf. He didnt touch those kids but even if he did whats the big deal. Hell when I was a boy I wanted sex anyway I could get it as most of you did to to a point. The point is this isnt the worse thing in the world. In greek times it was very comon to sleep with younger boys, also in japanese history it was. Only with bible swinging crazys did it become so wrong. I am not saying it ok to rape kids, I am say worse things can happen.
