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.

48. Whadda-Do: your theory is deeply flawed I'm afraid.
No further comments needed.

Michael was one of the kindest and most misunderstood souls on this planet. People did not deserve him. RIP.

49. Everytime you write about Michael Jackson it should ALWAYS start Michael Jackson the best selling artist of all time, he who out sold Elvis, Beatles. I'm so sick of second hand stories. Do a story on the LOSER that has admitted that he lied about getting molested. Why dont you sit outside of the home of the two liars that accused Michael of these lies??? You will do a stupid story about Jong II - that is obiviously so STUPID.

important to be the first to post, especially when they have nothing
else to say.

Actually, the German economy was devastated by the Treaty of Versailles. History records that even a wheelbarrow full of money couldn't get you a loaf of bread because inflation was so bad as a result of the restrictions put on the German people (which lead to WWII). Hitler is the one credited with fixing the economy and creating jobs.

He was also a lunatic that murdered millions of people for fun and tried to take over most of Europe, but he did bring Germany's economy back from oblivion.




If this is actually true, it's HILARIOUS! Michael Jackson is a diplomat because someone wears the same jackets as he does? I hope this is all a joke, because if not, the arrogance of the man is beyond belief.

59. Michael Jackson was AQUITED of all charges. Look the work up in your Funk & Wagnells if you do not understand what it means. I am not a MJ die-hard fan, he did have some music I liked. His dancing was awesome. I am sick of people calling him names when he was AQUITED

60. Nico, I really worry about you when you spend so much time hating a man you don't even know. Bad for your arteries! Careful! Someone might say that... you're obsessed with him...!?
Take a chill pill and then go ask forgiveness from God.
