Hmmm…what Kobe and M. Jackson have/had on common?
Well..weirdness, arrogance, petulance combined with tons of talent and other gifts.
One was involved in some many cases of child molestation (off course dismissed between quotations and amid lots of money)
the second was also involved in some weird case of rape, violence etc (also case dismissed thanks to money)
Common Factor?
Erratic personalities, and people with very fragile memory ahh money erases and smooths everything.

“I WANT TO ROCK WITH YOU”

IT WAS ALL FINE AND DANDY, JUST LIKE A BIG SOAP OPERA OF WHO’S WHO!

I AM GLAD JACKSON ISN’T FROM CLEVEAND,OHIO WHERE “SHIP B SINKIN” AS WE ARE THE POOREST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS HOVERING AT 10% IN THAT COUNTY COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTIES THAT ARE 15%. CLEVELAND COULDN’T AFFORD A POST DEATH PARTY LIKE THIS WAS AND WOULD HAVE PUT US 50 ROWS BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL OR SHOULD I SAY STAGE.

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT BIG NAME STAR FROM ANY INDUSTRY TO HAVE ONE OF THESE?

THEY NEVER DID THIS FOR FRANK SINATRA

[...] and Magic were true professionals from a bygone era. No one today compares. Not the Michael Jackson-mourning Kobe, not LeBron (especially after what happened when King James got dunked on in a pick-up game), [...]

who cares if kobe really know MJ or not.
The real issue is we are in the midst of a huge budget crisis. The state and the tax payers should be the last to pay for this 2.5 million expenditure. The profit that they are going to generate from MJ’s estate can easily cover the cost. All these celebrities and big time athletes can help out also. But of course, buying a $4 million 8-carat purple diamond ring to make your wife happy after having a highly publicized affair, oh yeah, and a rape accusation as well, is more important than donating money to help out on the budget crisis.

Didn’t Jackson have his kids wear burkas? I doubt his wishes were being honored in exposing those kids on TV like that.

This whole event was more like a concert/red carpet event than a actual memorial. Regardless the intention of the memorial service, why are the tax payers responsible for the bill while all these celebrities can make contributions? California is over 500 millions dollars in debt already!

This is rather disturbing. It’s both weird and ridiculous. Look, MJ is gone and I hate to pick on him, but he was a freak. He was a child molester and drug addict and now all of a sudden he’s being deified? This is just so hypocritical and wrong.

It was On tv because this is the nation of distraction. Celeb gossip before wars, a economy, and healthcare.

Kudos to the Clippers for not sending their big star.They play in that Arena too.

700,000 in the last week have come to L.A. to visit Neverland, MJ’s house, MJ’s star on the walk of fame.

Only 20,000 got tix to the service. There were four checkpoints. Only those with tix showed up.

The other 680,000 got hotel rooms, rented cars, took tours, ate at restaurants.
