Ferrigno -- MJ Used Drug Alias for Crank Calls

Michael Jackson's personal trainer and "Hulk" star Lou Ferrigno was on "Good Day LA" yesterday, saying MJ used to prank call him using the name "Omar" -- one of the names Jackson also frequently used to score powerful drugs, like Demerol.

31. Michael was free in his mind, he was not afraid to let the child inside him go free... Some of the fathers probably also recognize this phenomenon, having children is an excuse to play with toys again. I wish there were more people like him, not caring about what others would say and just have fun.

RIP MJ

32. if he was practicing michael to get up to par for july in may, where was he in june, so this guy has no credibility with me, he is suppose to be a trainer and he didn't notice his needle marks all over his body. sorry this guy seems stupid to me.

33. Some people are angry just because they will never accpet the fact that Michael was a black who got to conquer the world the way no white WILL NEVER do. They thought he would never sell a record anymorer, that people had forgotten him and now, that the world wouldn't give a s**t for news about him and now what happens? He is selling more albuns than ever and all you do is to hear about him... he is going to be around even after all your grandchildren's children die.

Michael is a legend...swallow it.

35. I watched this interview on Fox. In NO way does Lou infer that MJ was using drugs. He spoke kindly about him and was remember the good times! TMZ needs to quit trying to put words in celebrity's mouths. This interview was a good one and you could see the relationship between Lou and MJ. May he rest in peace.

38. OMG people...lighten up. I'm almost 30, and my parents are in their mid 50's. We crank call each other often. I call with a goofy accent, c ome up with a bogus name, and ask if they ordered a pizza. I'd call my best friend and say something crazy. Sometimes I'd hand another friend my phone (since not all people have caller ID) and have them leave a bizarre message for a friend. Oh, and I also send people bizarre text messages out of nowhere...like "Dude, where's my pants?" My friends know if I don't do something goofball for a while, something is not right...and they check on me. Oh, and I work for a church, and I've put toy fish in the baptismal before. We all pull pranks on each other. The pastor is in his 60's, and he pulls his share of pranks. So, get off your damn high horses. People of ALL ages pull pranks and make weird phone calls. It's part of having fun while being human; you should try it sometime.

40. I'm sorry, but it is not possible in this day and age to make crank calls anymore since the advent of caller ID. Almost everybody now has caller ID built into their phones especially if you have a cellular phone. Believe me, I've tried crank calling many friends and have been caught. Caller ID has been the downfall for many pranksters and crank calls has become a lost art, sorry to say. Beside's, I though Lou was deaf?
