Celebrity Justice
Jackson Poker Faced on Vegas Gig

Jackson to play Vegas?Michael Jackson could become the next Celine Dion, and we're not just talkin' wardrobe.

TheVegasEye reports the guys who just bailed Jacko out of Neverland debt may be angling to put him on stage in Vegas.

These money men run Colony Capital, a group that owns the Las Vegas Hilton. Colony just forked over the green M.J. needed to keep Neverland out of foreclosure.

So, you ask, what's in it for Colony? We're told Vegas money is on Jackson headlining there and raking in a much-needed jackpot. Colony has the venue -- it's where Barry Manilow performed -- and now the leverage to moonwalk his ass back on stage.

Jacko's peeps didn't return our calls for comment.

46. Colony Capitol is a hedge fund that also took the Station Casinos private in a transaction that involved 5.5 billion dollars. That is one amongst various other holdings.
They don't NEED Jackson to help make sales at the Hilton , although it would certainly be an enhancement for the Hilton. The Hilton Las Vegas makes the bulk of it's revenue through the conventions .

47. Yeah, MJ is the man. He is what talent is all about. Stroll around the world and U will find out that the 3 famous things in the world is God, Coca Cola & Michael Jackson.

I swear, if Michael performs in Vegas, some of those same posters will be the first in line *lol*.

48. I am not a huge fan of Michael Jackson as a person - he is wacky as he can be - but he was NOT CONVICTED of pedophilia and I must say that I am not convinced he did anything wrong to those kids. Kids love to crawl in bed innocently with adults they love and how could a kid not love Michal and Neverland? My godchildren love to go skinny dipping in my pool, but I would never molest them and I would kill anyone else that did. People just want to believe the worst of people that they envy. I must say, I dont understand how Neverland could have been in foreclosure, with the enormous amounts of money MJ has made and I also don't know why he wants to keep it if he doesnt want to live there anymore, so, yes, he is odd, but people have no right to call him a molester.

49. He may have not been convicted but it does not mean he is innocent. I watched the interview where he said there was nothing wrong with going to bed with children. He is sick and anyone who would allow any child near him is sadly not in their right mind. And #49 Ms tell it like it is, are you crazy? Jealousy has nothing to do with it. I wonder what the parents of your so called god children think about your letting the kids skinny dip in your pool. You are a fool.

50. *lol* MJ haters are more obsessed with Jackson, than his supporters of him;-)

The truth is: Jackson has still million supporters at his side. If he performs in Vegas, each f** ticket will be sold out in MINUTES! There are people from oversea (Europe to Australia) come to see him and would pay lot of money. Better, you deal with it;-)

Jackson is a household name in every country in the world. That`s just how it is. People may like him or not. But very few deny his status.

51. I'll just bet that the same posters who love mj think oj was innocent too. I pity those posters. It must be awful to wake up every day and idolize people who are molesters, murderers, etc. Dumb @$$e$.

52. I voted no, but i'd probably go see him if he played "man in the mirror", or whatever the song is and acted it out.. with a real mirror.. and actually looked into it. i have a feeling comedy might ensue after that.

Posted at 6:09PM on May 20th 2008 by I voted no...

53. hes got to much of a past, he will never make it in vegas, people are sick of these hollywood nuts, to much drama, strange things that go on around him. it will backfire , watch, wait an see.

54. Michael Jackson just makes me want to eat my own eyeballs so I wouldn't have to see him! He's the ultimate, walking gag-reflex! Instead of his (poor) children covering their faces 24-7...why doesn't he???? LOVE YA TMZ!!!! :) :)

55. I bet that if Michael Jack-off...cloned himself...he'd sue him self for molesting himself! hahahaha!! Send this guy off to mars

56. Would the people willing to pay money to see this pedophile leave their male children in a room with him for an hour?
I think not.

57. to judge someone based on his lifestyle is totally cruel. michael jackson is a great wonderful and magical performer, so it makes no sense to mix his personal life with is career. his personal life has nothing to do with his entertianment. how many artist out there have acomplished what michael jackson has done? people need to sart giving michael jackson the credit that he deserve. people tend to judge him base on media propaganda, not the actual fact. i think that it is all BS when people say " wacko jacko" or "eww" or the "former king of pop." people need to get the fact in their head that there would never be another entertainer as magnificant as MICHAEL JACKSON.

michael jackson have more fans than any other entertainer. he is known all over the world, even in the most rural part of Africa, Asia,or any other continent. why can't people come to the reality that michael jackson is a musical Genius and that his personal life and his public life are two different thing. the media want to tell everyone what is perfect and what is not. they also want to tell people what is normality and what is not. jsut because michael jackson prefers to be in his own peace and away from the craziness and hateful world that the media as created does not label him " wacko jacko"

i guess people like to see helpless, disgusting, and shameless celebrities make a fool out of themselves like brittany spears and many more rather than celebs that have class, pride and dignity.

sometimes i just wish people can try to put themselves in michael jackson's situation and see how he feels.
it's ok to judge someone base on facts, but not rediculous shaddy lies that are made and use it to discriminate that person from society.

58. I doubt this will work. The casino/hotel will end up seeing red-faced once he (Wacko/Jacko) starts canceling shows. He doesn't have the stamina or will power to perform night after night. It's a shame w/his catalog of songs. Beyond that, I wonder how many people would actually pay big bucks to see this guy? He might just be the one to break the bank (casino) once and for all. Why would they put up the money for Neverland? Which is a bigger albatross, Jackson or Neverland? Talk about gambling? The odds are against the house on this one.

59. I hope Mikey does it! that would be awesome, and for everyone that likes to talk crap on Mike, don't be so stupid, you know nothing about him and you have no right to pass judgment on someone that you don't know.

60. Hell no. He covers his face in public. I should pay to see him take the cover off. No f---king way.
