Wacko Jacko's Auction Action

He ain't a Pretty Young Thing anymore, but Michael Jackson's stuff is still popular with fans. Hundreds of items were auctioned off by Universal Express, Inc., this past week, netting more than $1.5 million. Think about all the new noses he could buy with that!

Among some of Wacko Jacko's personal belongings that went on the auction block: an MTV music award for "We Are the World" went for $16,000; a be-glittered jacket sold for $19,000, and a letter from Marlon Brando to the King of Pop garnered $1,600. One shocker: a platinum record for his hit song "Billie Jean" went for a measly 100 bucks. Jackson's a thriller no more!

Universal Express, which acquired the items for around $5 million, expects to hold a second auction of King of Pop-related items later this year.

31. MJ is "infamous". Not famous. Someone should fill you in on the difference. And Shane sweetie, please find some new terms besides "haters" and "get a life". They're really old. He HAD talent, he has nothing now- no money, no friends, no records coming out, no reputation. Just a few morons like you left to look like fools sticking up for him. And what do you have against white girls? Let me guess- you're SHOCK-another jealous sister.

34. I'll bet money that he looks exactly the same at 80. Assuming of course that he still has anything left to auction off in order to pay for more cosmetic surgeries. I mean how much worse could he possibly get?

37. I WONDER HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER BEEN TEASED OR MADE FUN OF BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU LOOKED, IN SCHOOL, WORK OR EVEN AT HOME?

IMAGINE THAT x100

IMAGINE HAVING THE PRINCIPLE OF YOUR SCHOOL JOIN IN LAUGHING AT YOU WITH THE STUDENTS AND THEN GOING HOME TO HAVE YOUR FATHER CHIME IN ALONG WITH THEM

IMAGINE HAVING YOUR BOSS LAUGH AT YOUR PHYSICAL IMPERFECTIONS ALONG WITH ALL YOUR CO-WORKERS

IMAGINE THEN, HAVING THE MONEY TO MAKE CORRECTIONS TO YOUR APPEARANCE, BUT DEEP DOWN THE HURT WON'T EVEN LET YOU SEE THE NEW YOU SO YOU GO BACK AGAIN TO FIX SOMETHING ELSE YOU FOUND WRONG WITH YOURSELF, THEN AGAIN & AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE HAS HELPED YOU HEAL THE REAL HURT CAUSING YOU TO HATE YOUR IMAGE IN THE MIRROR TO BEING WITH.

LOOK AT OUR SOCIETY, ALL WE DO IS TEAR AT EACH OTHER, WE FIND SOMETHING TO SAY DOWN TO SOMEONE, EVEN LOOK AT THESE POSTS

PEOPLE GO SO FAR AS TO RIP ON PEOPLE FOR NOT USING THE "CORRECT GRAMMAR" NOW COME ON YOU KNOW YOU'RE REACHING FOR SOMETHING TO SAY BAD TO SOMEONE WHEN YOU START IN ON THE FACT THEY DIDN'T USE YOUR IN THE PROPER TERM

"WATCH HOW SOMEONE IS GOING TO CALL ME ALL KINDS OF IDIOTS BECAUSE I TYPE IN CALL CAPS"

I FEEL BAD FOR MICHAEL, I FEEL BAD FOR ALL KIDS IN THIS SOCIETY THAT WILL GET SCREWED UP IN THE HEAD THIS YEAR BY MEAN, VICIOUS CHILDREN COMING FROM MEAN SPIRITED PARENTS AND TELEVISION THAT TELLS THEM THEY ARE UGLY IF THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE LINDSAY. PARIS, BEYONCE, ETC..

38. Well you are comparing apples to oranges now aren't you? MJ looks like a freak because he chose to look this way. This is not a question of being ugly, he was born very attractive. A bit different than a poor kid who can do nothing about the way they look don't you think?
MJ has no one to blame but himself, he butchered his face, betrayed anyone who ever tried to help him, and saw nothing wrong with having little boys sleep with him. What planet are you from that this is praise-worthy behavior? For God's sake open your eyes.

39. RAQUEL HUN, WHAT DAMN PLANET ARE YOU LIVING??? YOU CEERTAINLY HAVE NOT BEEN LIVING ON EARTH COZ YOU WOULD KNOW ALL OF YOUR OWN ANSWERS,
THERE WAS NEVER "SLEEPING WITH CHILDREN" THAT WASN'T ESTABLISHED AS FACT, HEL L O O.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT H THAT'S HIS PEROGATIVE.
dON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO OTHER THAN SIT UP AND COMPAIN ABOUB PPL, WELL TO HELL YOU'LL GO .
TRY PICKEN YOU NOSE IN POSSKIPSKEY, YOUR BOUND TO FIND SOME IN THERE LOLOLOLOLOL

40. Are we fans of the people? or of their works? Because alot of people are talking about they hate him because of what he did, and there are some that said they were once big fans until they found out so what does this really mean?

I think it means we are fans of what we see, their work. because technically speaking if he did molest those two boys, we were fans and loving him all while it was going on, we just didn't know about it.

Honestly, after the run ins i have had with celebs, many of us wouldn't like anyone if we knew the real people behind the works.

If MJ is a child molester, his father needs to be brought up on charges along with every parent that pushes a child to the edge of insanity by way of abuse.

Those mothers, especially the second one need few books thrown at them as well. I wouldn't take my child to a molesters house and say "I'll be back tomorrow" i smell a pimp

the first mother was his maid so if anyone knew of something weird around mj it should have been her but she had her son with him everyday and he secretly hated Michael because his mother was "always working"

41. SEE WHAT I MEAN, I THINK MORE PEOPLE HAVE IMAGE ISSUES THAN THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADMIT

I NEVER SAID HE DID NOT CHOOSE IT, I SAID HE WAS DRIVEN TO THAT CHOICE -

IF YOU WERE NOT SO BUSY TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO SAY DOWN TO MY POST YOU WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE SENTIMENT, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE SOMEONE DO THAT TO THEMSELVES

42. Taniqua please turn off your damn caps lock and learn spelling and punctuation. Your posts are unreadable, you sound like a damn lunatic and are obviously living in a fantasy world. Of course there are a few nut-jobs left who still think this guy is famous, Charles Manson gets hundreds of fan letters every year. Your point? And sleeping with WHITE (of course) little boys is his choice? Please tell me you don't vote or drive a car.

43. I dont think he actually GOT the money from it....the dude that bought all his stuff when he didnt pay storage bills got the money.

44. AH HA! A CONSPIRACY THEORIST - ALWAYS WORKING, YOU'VE BEEN DOING YOUR RESEARCH ON THE FIRST CASE I SEE

HEY WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SECOND MOTHERS PATTERN?

Posted at 4:47PM on Jun 3rd 2007 by LET'S BOOST SELF ESTEEM IN THE USA

45. I think it was weird that she said the same thing, and had her kids say the same thing about a security guard at sears, what are the real chances that once in your life someone held you captive, wouldn't let you leave until you agreed not to tell what they did to you

and then having that happen again 26 months later. what are the odds???

i also think 26 months is about the right amount of time your $367,000 settlement from the first case is all but gone considering people with ill-gotten gains tend to flounder them..

BUT my thoughts on the first case are this, who ever hears of a couple of detective just "showing up" at someone's home to question them about whether or not they have been abused??

most kids tell the parent, or someone in clergy or some teacher or someone close, then that person tells mom, then mom calls police

i have never in my life seen or heard on the news of any person being brought up on charges after no-one reported them, but two detectives on that police force just up and decided to go knock on a door and ask questions -
