<p>I heard earlier today that the police seized meds from multiple doc’s in MJ’s house. I can only assume their are a few MD’s calling their attorneys.</p>
<p>There are going to be so many wild stories and rumors along with speculation. Who knows if the biological parents of those kids will ever be identified? It is not important if the legalities were observed. I think those kids will be in good company with many others who have been created or have gone through in vitro, artificial insemination, adoption, surrogacy, etc, etc.</p>
<p>Janet Jackson seems (on the surface at least) to be “normal” as far as the Jackson clan goes, is financially stable, with no children of her own. The mother is what, 79 years old? It is not likely that she will be around till the youngest reaches 18, therefore the kids will likely have to transition into another home again. It is so sad to wonder what the future of these kids will be.</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification, Sunny.</p>
<p>mom60, the reason I am worried is that the ranch is actually co-owned by a fairly influential person with beaucoup bucks. Hopefully the Supervisors will use their heads.</p>
<p>The whole thing just keeps getting stranger. Good old MJ…it reminds me of the days during his trial…weird even in death. I do feel for those kids…</p>
<p>Missypie-
Re: post 190-
I know we aren’t supposed to make fun of, or speak ill of the dead, but that was really funny!</p>
<p>We’re driving S up to UCSB for a drum corp event on Fri. Traffic is horrendous on normal Fridays (when L.A. residents get away for the weekend) and with this MJ event possibly happening - I can’t even imagine how crazy it will be!!!</p>
<p>It will be crazy, holiday weekend…traffic is already bad this will make it worse I’m sure…can you leave early?</p>
<p>I hadn’t even considered that traffic catastrophe of going to Santa Barbara for 4th of July weekend.</p>
<p>As for Neverland turning into a tourist resort, I can’t imagine that happening. It is in a terrible location for it, and the neighbors would fight that one to the bitter end, is my guess.</p>
<p>ebeeee- maybe they will transfer ownership to the Chumash and they can do whatever they want to Neverland Ranch.
It took us 4 hours on Sunday to drive back to SB from LA. Usually that traffic is going in the other direction. Lilmom- you should leave as early as possible.</p>
<p>On a good day, it takes us 30 min. to get to SB. We will have to leave early - where’s a good place to have breakfast in the UCSB area?</p>
<p>mom60 nothing would surprise me anymore…I can see the Chumash grabbing Neverland.
lilmom, I’m not sure but I bet mom60 will post a place.</p>
<p>I guess Michael Jackson is still dead, judging by the fact that this topic keeps getting bumped up.</p>
<p>True story: 2 days ago, we were in the car, and I said “I guess Michael Jackson will stay dead, unlike Elvis, who will live forever”, and I swear we happened to glance across the street and there was an Elvis impersonator walking up the sidewalk. In rural Maine.</p>
<p>Or maybe it was the actual Elvis, who knows. Ooooo. And for that matter, can anyone be sure the actual Michael Jackson died and not an impersonator? And that any of the people walking around dressed as MJ could actually be him, going incognito and avoiding the London concert commitments and enormous debt?</p>
<p>Ok, I’ll stop now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL. That’s a running joke my family has whenever a celebrity death dominates the headlines for days on end. We always say that the lead sentence for each news story should be “___ remains dead.” Come labor day weekend, you know there will be stories about Princess Di, that should all start out, “Princess Diana remains dead…”</p>
<p>I guess if MJ was an impersonator, you could tell by a nose. ;)</p>
<p>That would be a really committed celebrity impersonator to go through the lengths Jackson did with plastic surgery. I doubt if any would sculpt their own noses to the point of practically falling off.</p>

<p>Missiepie and Annudahmom-
Reminds me of the old Chevy Chase bit in his news segment on Saturday Night Live… “Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead…” (showing my age here. Anyone else remember this?)</p>
<p>Yes, I remember that bit. I actually didn’t know who he was at the time, because my twisted sister let me watch that show before I even learned about Franco in school.</p>
<p>Jon Stewart gave out the Rippy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Obitutainment to -</p>
<p>Michael Bashir for the best use of a celebrity death to bolster a career. </p>
<p>CNN for airing a 3 dimensional illustration of his heart stopping - before he was confirmed dead.</p>
<p>NBC’s Michael Okwu for the single stupidest comment about Jackson’s death that we’re all watching something we’ll never see again because “Michael Jackson will only die once.”</p>
