Paterson Bombshell Rumor Watch: Resignation Imminent?
More Bald Eagles Spotted In Harlem!
Paterson "Bombshell" Just PG-13?
Just in case you were wondering, the Reverend Al Sharpton is headed to California to be with Michael Jackson's family—his spokesperson said, "Reverend Sharpton is on his way to Los Angeles to meet with Michael's parents and siblings and to talk about the needs to preserve and protect Michael's legacy." Sharpton, who spoke outside the Apollo right after Jackson's death was announced, will lead a moment of silence and read a eulogy for the pop singer during the Apollo's tribute to Jackson, planned on Tuesday. Between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., 600 mourners per 45-minute interval are invited to leave memorabilia and flowers and remember Jackson's life. And on Wednesday, the Apollo's Amateur Night will feature a moonwalking competition. Apollo Theater Foundation President Jonelle Procope said, "We at the Apollo thought it was important to put these events together to give Michael's fans the chance to remember him as the consummate entertainer that he was."

A Renaissance Man. A man for all seasons. The Rev that is.
Twice this week, that media whore, Sharpton was featured on Gothamist regarding Michael's tragic death.
Why?
Surely you can get someone more relevant to the entertainer's life and death than this publicity hound.
Could the people in charge of this great event move it to Wednesday. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for the afternoon hours on Tuesday and after that I really could use a decent clean shit. Also I want to attend an anti pre-teen pedophile dinner later that night.
The above should make the idiot Felixthe cat2 happy, given his stupid observations. I guess he will have a sleep over from the remnants of MJ's "boyfriends."
MJ could have and should have died 20 years ago. He was a castrated pervert that his father forced him to be. He always said he changed his looks so he didn't look like his father who he hated. Another example of parental abuse is Abe Lincoln when his father probably cornholed him when they moved west without the old lady and lived in an open faced cabin.
Look at his kids. There isn't one that has a half DNA molecule that's black. Why? Because MJ was castrated by his father. That's why.
Roseanne Barr gave the same reason for her plastic surgery, iirc.
I hope Sharpton clears up his tax issues soon... I am sick of looking at this race baiting tax dodger
Dear LA: Please keep him.

You people be too hard on the rev. He's doing what is proper and showing respect.
James Brown, Michael Jackson, Tawana Brawley. The man's got family.
I want to see the hissy fight when he comes in contact with the other "right rev".
I love the bonding picture that Al showed. That was when MJ was black. I haven't seen any pictures with him that showed that MJ started becoming "white" and really wanted to be white.
There are plenty of very beautiful "black" women in this world, why didn't the gloved one pop off about a half dozen. His piece of shit father had no problem with the sperm so it can't be genetic.
You're missing the point. MJ wanted to be a white woman.
What I find amusing and disconcerting that there are many great black entertainers like Bill Cosby, James Earl Jones, Stevie Wonder, etc. that are not coming out in your face like the two reverends.
Well, that would certainly explain his dazzling falsetto...

Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons along with several others including Johnnie Maestro had a falsetto voice. MJ had a castrato voice.
Think about it for a second, perhaps longer. Frankie Lymon of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers made some good money when his voice was of the same quality of MJ's when he was young. When Frankie lost his voice he lost any concept of making money. Papa Joe saw that and sawed off little MJ's balls to keep the money cow going.
Why is Rev Al involved? Was MJ shot by a white cop?
Why is Rev Al involved? Was MJ shot by a white cop?
WHY YOU ASK!
Rev Al and Rev Jackson were there when MJ visited James Brown's casket. Isn't that enough?
MJ was black, blackish, kind of mulatto (well not really, only chemically) but his kids are whiter than any whiteness I can see in his family.
Of all the children that I have seen, even at an early age, they look somewhat like their parents. There is no resemblance between "father" and son. Madonna's adopted children from Gambumba or wherever they came from, look more like her than MJ's kids look like they sprang from the loins of the gloved one.
Basically the guy couldn't get his shit together and he died from an overdose of drugs. Bury him and open up a tourist attraction out there in California. The family is happy, the fans are happy. End of story.
He was an entertainer. So was Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley,
Lillian Russell, John Barrymore, Al Jolson. In thirty years no one will give a shit who MJ was.
LET THE BOTTOM FEEDERS COMPETITION BEGIN!!
Jesse Jackson and New York's hometown favorite Rev Al are both skilled exploiters and this death needs to be milked for all that it may be worth..
..Therez' money in them thar' tears...!
I was watching the Michael Jackson News Network and this stupid logo kept creeping up on the screen. It says "CNN". What the hell is that? And why is it there preventing me from seeing what kind of shoes MJ wears in his videos?
Ease up dude. He wore Sperry top-siders in a gloss black finish with white socks.
In fact I think I am going to wear white socks for a month in memory of him.
Also I am going to walk the streets of New York to find a glove. You know, one of those lost gloves that appear singly in the street that calls to you, "He is the King". Albeit it's probably just a dropped glove from some iron worker that was taking a pee before he went to a local bar, but it makes for a good story for your grandchildren.
I would have guessed Stacey Adams but then, I'm old skool. Oh well, I'm off to the Primadonna Beauty Salon ( Al Sharpton's fave )for some Jheri Curl refresh before attending the memorial service at the Boy's Club gymnasium.
Who's paying for all this?
Why, Michael Mineo's lawyer after we bust up the settlement.
Michael Jackson has spent the second half of his life trying to rid evidence of his heritage. But that doesnt mean Reverend Al doesnt see an opportunity to get on tv an get more donations to his "church."
Wait, Jackson was a white guy..
I commend Reverend Al for reaching out.
Interesting that Sharpton was nowhere to be seen giving sound bites and seeking photo ops when that black security guard was killed by a white supremacist. Yet he's out front and center in the media AGAIN like the media whore he is to pay his respects to a man who hated being black so much, he carved his face into a jack o'lantern.
beat it, al
