No Plans for Neverland Ranch

Neverland ranchThe future of Neverland Ranch is still up in the air, according to an associate of the company that now owns it.

Tohme Tohme -- Jackson's longtime friend and a partner of Colony Capital, part owner of Neverland -- tells TMZ so far no decision has been made about what do with Michael Jackson's famous former home.

We're told one of the options being discussed is to make Neverland some sort of museum or shrine to Jackson.

46. Following that old wives tale saying that "Death comes in 3s," people seem to have forgotten that this celebrity passing cycle began with David Carradine earlier this month. Therefore, it was 1) David Carradine, 2) Ed McMahon, and 3) Farrah Fawcett. Now, another celebrity passing cycle has begun with: 1) Michael Jackson, 2) Billy Mays, and 3) ?????????????. Last week, it was announced that production on the highly acclaimed drama series "The Beast" starring Patrick Sawyze has been cancelled. The last pics I saw of Patrick -- sadly, he didn't look too well. Miracles do happen and I hope one happens for Patrick. However, I think the next celebrity passing will be another unexpected shocker. These are scary times in Hollywood . . .

47. I think all of you who are calling him a pedophile are arseholes. It is your OPINION. you have no proof. were you there? or did you read an article/hear a story and take it for fact! he was found not guilty. all of you all who judged him and didn't understand his eccentricity contributed to his death!
Lesson to be learned-- you can't believe every damn thing you see in print. Just because a reporter prints it doesn't mean its fact. Trust me, I learned the hard way when a reporter wrote a fabricated article about my family/loved one..

49. I had the pleasure of going to Neverland Ranch in 2004 for several hours. It was one of the best days of my life and everything I ever thought it would be x 1000. It would be hard to recreate it now as the park has been disassembled and most of his items sold off, but the owners of the property would be stupid not to realize the possibilities of turning this into a tribute museum. I'm sure it won't capture the magic of the real thing, but hopefully they could find a way to theme it together into a fitting memorial and retrospective of his life and career.

51. For posters linking to News of the World--it's a tabloid and a pretty unreliable one at that. For instance, they did an article today portraying Evan Chandler, father of the first boy to allege molestation, as a devoted and protective father. The actual facts are in stark contrast. Here's an article about the case from GQ magazine (at least it's not a tabloid): http://floacist.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/gq-article-was-michael-jackson-framed/ and info about the 2005 restraining order against 'loving dad' Evan Chandler who tried to kill his own son with a 12-pound weight to the back of the head: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,209470,00.html. These are not credible people and neither is News of the World.
Always amazes me that people will believe anything they read without considering the source or doing their own basic research.

53. Neverland can be like another Graceland, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. I would still go visit there because I respect MJ and NOTHING bad happened there!!

54. I think it would be a lovely idea.

55. micheal jackson had the neverland ranch built, so it should be turned into a muueum honoring him.or give his family a chance to buy it. and it pisses me off to hear some people speaking badly of him. no one has the right to judge him but god. no one really knows about how he lived his life but the people close to him.and a lot of people that are speaking ill of the dead are going to go too hell. to all of you look at your own life then judge yourself.

56. Michael Jackson-Bigger than life, humungous in death! I think when I see a star shooting across the sky I will wonder if Michael Jackson might be riding on its tail like the star he really was! God bless him!

57. they can turn the room where he molested mcualy and the other kids in as a public awareness campagin on how to prevent child molestation.

58. A memorial for a child molester? You people are effing idiots.

59. I think keeping it and making neverland into a museum is a great idea. I honestly don't think he molested any children and felt bad for him then and still do. I think he just was a person with a lot of issues that stemmed back from growing up with his father and in the spotlight. He loved to help children with cancer and other diseases and was a very trusting person and people took advantage of him. Loved him or hated him.....the man was a musical genius and legend and should be remembered for that.

60. I think Michael should be laid to rest at Neveland. It`s a place he seemed to love. The family should turn it into a museum and keep his memory alive. Thoughts and prayers to the Jackson family......
