People Paying Homage to Wrong Star

People are flocking to Michael Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Problem is ... it's the wrong Michael Jackson.



The star for Michael Jackson -- the singer -- is covered up because of the "Bruno" premiere. People are mistaking MJ's covered star for the star of longtime L.A. radio personality Michael Jackson.

31. Cleveland-West_Side, keep it real. Regardless of certain people saying on here that there is no proof that this plastic monster was molesting children, there are thousands of people around the world who aren't ignorant and agree with what you are saying. There are people out there who also protest that footballer O.J. didn't murder the mother of his children. We know the truth, afterall. Of course, HE DID!!!!!!!

32. The real Michael Jackson was a beloved Los Angeles disc jockey for many years. He is not a fake MJ. He was the icon of Rock 'n Roll long before this fruit ' nut came along from Gary, Indiana, and was a very nice man which is why he was honored with a star on the boulevard. This Michael Jackson cannot hold a candle next to the elder Michael Jackson.

33. I'm the person that dropped off the heart shaped arrangement. I was surprised at the response that the Bruno premiere staff gave me. They told me that they would trash the arrangement I brought, since they had jurisdiction of the entire street. I just wanted to pay a little respect to someone that had a huge talent. I'm very dissapointed that crew for the Bruno premiere was so insensitive.

Really? I don't remember the media frenzy and throngs of mourners when the "real" MJ died. That's your opinion, its completely wrong, but you are entitled to it.

As far as this MJ goes, it's sad to see anyone die this early in life, especially someone with the talent he had. I won't argue that more recently he has become a freakshow more than anything, and the allegations of improper contact with children will put an asterix next to his name forever, but still a sad day for his friends, fans, and family.

36. Hey guys.....Whether he is ugly to you or pretty to ypu in ways, there's no resasons to fight over it here. That man died. Let's remember him for his contribution to music not for his weird behaviours. He is truly a music maestro. He died while still fighting for his music. I'm sure we are all adults. Right? To Michael, eventhough I am from a country far far away, may you get judged fairly in the other side and just to wish thank you for giving this world and me to grow in your music, just the music, people. Just the music!

37. People are idiots, especially those who praise Jackson today and were making jokes about him yesterday. Hypocrisy is the new national pastime it seems.

40. #13 I believe the poster was refering to the fact that Perez posted a story this morning saying it was fake and attention seeking from MJ and possibly an excuse to get out of his London concerts. He very quickly changed the story saying how sorry he is BLAH BLAH

44. If you weren't already convinced what a mean jerk Perez is, look at this post (he took it down already) that he made when Michael first went to the hospital. What an insensitive piece of *$#(.
For those who missed it, here is what Perez had to say about Michael:

"Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance from his Holmby Hills home to a nearby Los Angeles hospital on Thursday afternoon!!
Supposedly, the singer went into cardiac arrest and the paramedics had to administer CPR!!!
His mother is even on the way to visit him!!!
We are dubious!!
Jacko pulled a similar stunt when he was getting ready for his big HBO special in '95 when he "collapsed" at rehearsal!
He was dragging his heels on that just like his upcoming 50 date London residency at the 02 Arena, of which he already postponed the first few dates!!!
Either he's lying or making himself sick, but we're curious to see if he's able to go on!!!
Get your money back, ticket holders!!!!"

WTF Perez. Dude has NO soul.
