John Mark Karr wants people to know he's just like Michael Jackson.
The former suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey case, who maintains he was involved in the killing even though DNA evidence proves otherwise, draws a parallel to the King of Pop in an interview with Dr. Keith Ablow.
When asked his ex-wife Quientana Ray's accusations that he drugged her while they were married, Karr notes a similarity to the molestation suit filed against Jackson. "I think that was said about Michael Jackson too, that whole drugging thing," says Karr, "and I think what happens is that sometimes, especially when there is a media blitz like that, people just start throwing out everything in the mix."
The interview with John Mark Karr will air it its entirety Tuesday on "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show," where he'll also address his own childhood, his appreciation of child actresses and his feelings about the Ramsey family.

John Mark Karr might not have murdered Jon Benet Ramsey, but he's an even more dangerous menace to children now that he's gone free, according to Dr. Keith Ablow, the psychiatrist who nabbed the first interview with Karr following his bizarre extradition-arrest-and-release saga.
Excerpts of the interview were shown on this morning's "Today" show on NBC, and the former teacher seems to continue to maintain that he was involved in the Ramsey killing, even though DNA evidence suggests he was not. What's more, Ablow, host of "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show," says that Karr likens his sexual involvement with young girls to sharing an ice-cream cone, except that, rather disturbingly, he's "better than an ice-cream cone" for them.
Rumors swirled this morning that Karr had been given several alcoholic drinks before the interview, but TMZ insiders say Karr was given no alcohol and is obviously not drunk on the tape. Ablow also pointedly denied the charge on "Today." Ablow said that Karr was not paid for the interview and that, contrary to reports, he was well aware that he was being taped for broadcast.
The full interview will be featured on "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show" next Tuesday.
