MJ Wanted to Heal the World ... with Kim Jong Il

MJ Wanted to Heal the World ... with Kim Jong Il

According to Michael Jackson, the release of imprisoned reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee hinged on one question: Is Kim Jong Il a "Thriller" fan?

Michael Jackson & Kim Jong Il
On his blog, Gotham Chopra -- friend to MJ and the reporters -- says Jackson called him three weeks ago asking how he could help. Jackson thought Jong Il would let them go if he talked to him ... provided the North Korean leader was a fan.

One reason why Michael thought Jong Il could be a devotee: "You know, he wears jackets like mine."

Gotham told Jackson he'd look into it -- but Michael died before the plan could get off the ground.

Normally I would say this story is totally absurd. But Kim Jong Il is a complete NUTCASE! Worse than Whacko Jacko! Maybe Jackson could have actually done something!

What a nice gesture on Michael's part. Too bad it didn't come to pass. He would of been Michael "Jesse" Jackson.
