Oh, so two of the jurors think Michael was guilty. Well, y'know, a lot of people did. Too bad they weren't in a position to actually act on that impression -- oh, wait!!

Lame. Whether you agreed with the verdict or not, or think Michael was guilty of abusing children or not, or think Michael was guilty of abusing that specific child or not, you have to agree that switching up now that you have a book coming out is completely despicable.

Mr. Jackson, You're Free To Go.

Meanwhile, I suppose it's just a matter of time until Michael's former employee, Bob Jones, gets his own "D.S."-like song--!

The Michael Jackson Trial: E! News Presentation

F. People

by Rand Bellavia and Adam English c2003 (BMI)

Performed by Ookla the Mok

Listen to the song!

Read the lyrics (of which there are some below)!

Show a little compassion for Michael Jackson
When he turns up on the evening news
Don’t judge that man or make fun of his tan
Until you’ve walked a mile backwards in his sequined shoes
And even if he is as bad as we might fear
We’re to blame, we gave him fame, and we can make him disappear

Famous people are weird
They can’t help it
It just goes along with being a star
We need our stars to act a little bizarre
If only to assure us how normal we are
When they’re smeared we’re all too eager to jeer
And when they’re cleared we’ll be first in line to cheer at the world premiere
Famous people are weird

Support the band!

Ok, so there's this girl; the nanny Grace Rwarmba; and then that nutty story late last year about a secret wife arranged by the Nation of Islam (see below). Who knew Jackson was such a playa playa??!

Seriously, somebody needs to tell Jackson's people that these last few stories are laughable inept, if they're supposed to help him. He was with this girl but never slept with her? And Uri Gellar's damning hypnosis story! The statement "'my relations with children are very beautiful" does not at all sound like "I never touched that little's boy's penis!"

ET Online Music: Michael's French Girlfriend

Riddle of 3rd Jacko bride
By WILL BARKER

MICHAEL Jackson has secretly married for the THIRD time according to pals.

The singer is said to have wed a stunning 23-year-old Muslim beauty in the
summer.

Known only as Alisha, she is a brilliant pianist with an IQ of 154, according
to reports in US magazine The Globe.

If true, that would put his bride in the top tenth of a per cent of the
population - more intelligent than the average university professor.

Jacko, 45, is facing charges of molesting a 12-year-old boy after allegedly
plying him with wine and pills.

A source told The Globe: “If these charges go before a jury, Michael knows
that having a wife and family will help him.

“One of his problems is that people think of him as being weird and wacko.

“They automatically accept derogatory stories about him as being true.

“But if he can show that he really has a wife and family, like other guys,
jury members are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
