Wacko Jacko Back on TV?

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.

32. He's hard-up for money these days, he'll do anything. Hey, I like to see him do a TV commerical. How about, he could replace one of those Foster Farms chickens. Hmmmm, that's something to consider.

33. Go Micheal, my ass. It takes a fool to not believe this man is not a child molestoir. as time goes on this will be proven.

34. They need to find somebody other than this sick bastard. He got off on child molestation charges because he is Michael Jackson. If he was the average Joe off the street, he would be in jail right now. He had paid off the accuser's parents in his 1993 child molestation case. They have yet to convict a celebrity in California on ultra serious charges such as child molestation or murder. Even Phil Spector's murder trial ended in a hung jury. If some of the contestants are going to be as young as 14, this show is not the place for Michael Jackson to be. Enough said.

38. Was it just me or did anyone else notice that Macully Culkin started wearing lipgloss after hanging out with his freaky buddy? I don't care how talented or creative someone is, if they are a pedophile and/or child molestor they are still a sick twisted pile of filth. Both of the highest profile cases were discredited by the parents, the ones who took a payoff and in the last one, the crazy mother who pretty much guaranteed his freedom with her aggressive behaviour on the witness stand. The only good thing that came of either of these cases was that his questionable lifestyle and behaviour came to light. We have here yet another case of people refusing to believe their hero could be guilty. Let's face it most of the Jackson clan are unbalanced and the one common denominator has always been that monstrous-looking father of theirs, he looks like a Frankenstenian experiment gone awry. The women who took money to bear his children are also guilty of being greedy and irresponsible, knowing full well they were turning over innocent babies to a man who would never be able to give them a normal safe life. They were aware of the allegations surrounding him and chose to ignore that, blinded by dollar signs. I'm sure he believed hiding out overseas was the only way he could carry on his sick behaviour but hopefully, one day he will be convicted and locked up in an asylum for the criminally insane.

40. You mean to tell me that Simon Cowell can get Michael on his British show "X-Factor" but not going to try to get him on American Idol?
WTF!!
Does Simon thinks his too good to bring the king of pop to American Idol?

41. As for the people who insult Michael for his looks, come on…lets grow up. Again, you are non-educated hicks who think you deserve an opinion on everything. You do ZERO research, you judge, point fingers, and accuse, possibly to hide your own pesonal issues, who knows?

All i know is that Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer alive, and he deserves respect. I dont care how many nosejobs or plastic surgery he has had. I, unlike many people in this world, actually give everybody a chance to prove themselves.

Please, grow up.
thank you
