Wacko Jacko Back on TV?

Posted Oct 7th 2007 10:02AM by TMZ Staff

Transformational Peter Pan fan Michael Jackson will be back on TV in early December as a part of Simon Cowell's British show "X-Factor." The UK talent fest has signed the controversial King of Pop to pop up as a mentor for contestants -- some of whom are as young as 14 -- reports The Sun.

The "X-Factor" stint will be Jackson's first TV appearance since his disastrous 2003 Martin Bashir interview, which preceded Jackson being charged with child molestation and conspiracy, of which he was acquitted in 2005.

It was recently rumored that Jackson would appear in a Las Vegas comeback -- that hasn't happened. Perhaps Simon can lure the gloved wonder out of his self-imposed exile.

16. Douchebag, pedophile, child molester, boy lover Michael Jackson is going to be on TV? I'm sure he's invited lots of his little boy fans to attend the show.

17. If true (and coming from The Sun I kind of doubt it), it'd of course break all-time high ratings for the show and network. Despite what people think of his personal issues, I can't imagine that any new or upcoming pop artists would decline being mentored by him if given the opportunity. He is a musical legend who's done more for the pop industry than any other artist, living or dead. His music has been, and continues to be covered regularly by many of the artists on X-Factor, American Idol, and the rest of them. In the singer profiles for these shows, many of them still list him as one of their main inspirations. I think such an appearance would be as good as any to try and reconnect with the younger generation and prove to the world that he' s still an artist.

19. British Television must be quite desperate putting on a circus queer child molester. The ratings will at least show how many perverts are in the audience. It's always good to know who supports evil in this world.

23. What retard in their right mind would ever let a child molester anywhere near there kid. The guy is a freak and is probably frothing at the mouth right now, thinking about all those little boys he is going to not only get to touch, but get paid for it. Anyone who supports this freak of nature deserves to have there children touched by that pedophile.

26. Michael Jackson is a genius and a rare talent. I don't care how many small boys have bitten the pillow while being deflowered by MJ, he's an entertainment legend and it would be a privilege to see him perform again.

27. It is over!! OVER!!!

He just needs to change his name to Norma Desmond, get a huge mansion with a wacky butler and slip away into obscurity.

There's no place for pedophiles unless he wants to run for office or join the priesthood.

28. Perhaps Simon should remember what this wacko is accused of & should be kept away from 14 year olds. As a matter of fact WHY HAVENT HIS OWN CHILDREN BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM, he seems to be a whole lot more disturbed than I hope Brit will ever be.

29. Michael Jackson is no genius by a long shot. He comes from a family that were all under educated and filled with abuse. But it is no excuse for his behavior with children. His interview telling how sharing his bed with children was so wonderful made me sick. He is a predator and a criminal who beat the rap. Why anyone would want to see him on stage again is beyond me. One of these days he is going to molest again...they always do..and when it happens it won't go to the courts anymore. Some outraged parent or just some one who has had enough of bastards like him will knock him off. I personally would like him to go to prison and be put in the general population...let prison justice take over the job that citizens on the outside refuse to do. As for you Biker 1957, you are just as sick as he is. You are revolting.

30. Someone please tell Michael Jackson that it is past time for him to be trying to look like a teenager. It is high time he cut his hair, laid off the make-up and dressed like a man. He has the same hair-do he has had for years, and I, for one am sick of looking at it.
Okay, he messed up his face, but it is over with, ancient history, why not make the best of what he's got now? It would be great, after he has cleaned himself up, if he owned up to the plastic surgery mistakes and just went on with life. We all have scars and things on us that we arent thrilled with. But we live with it.
