This is exploitation. I lost my mother at 12 years old. This child should never have been encouraged to speak in public.

deleted

Oh please. It was tastefully done and heartfelt.
You could tell she wanted to speak.
She will always have that memory.

Yeah,like you can speak from experience???

I lost my mom at 12 years. Did you lose your mother or father at 12 years old? I can still recall my feelings at my mothers funeral...and no matter what you think...no adult could ever convey or portray what I went through and no adult will ever understand what Michael's children are going through, no matter how much money is involved.

You have my sympathies and while I understand your point, your experience is not theirs. We all experience things differently - no one knows what was in that little girl's head, but I don't see them as being exploited. That's where I disagree.

ok...

ok

I bet KFC stock just shot up...have a feeling many people will have KFC in rememberance of Michael tonight..I know I am...

can they find another go-to hip hop black guy besides toure'?

Cosign! I vote him out as the "spokes-black" re: african-american culture and hip hop music. LOL! I just put up a post about his wackness on the Evening thread.

Professor Rose on MSNBC is preaching right now...speak sistah!! speak!!

I'm having a hard time posting today. The site didn't automatically recognize me and didn't prompt me for a login, only new registration. Thus, the "NMP1" username. Anyway, I must say I had my reservations that this would be a three ring circus, but the producers deserve a standing ovation. That put together a quality event that would normally take months if not a year to pull together. It was absolutely beautiful. A most fitting farewell for the greatest entertainer of all time.

I wasn't around a computer, I was listening to it on the radio. Began crying when I heard Mariah, and just couldn't stop. Didn't think I would cry at all, and when the tears began, damn..it just happened.

I'm sure like me and countless others MJ left an indelible mark on
some of the happiest and most important moments in your life. "Off
the Wall" was the first record I bought (with my allowance). The
first song I slow dragged to (remember when we called it tgat?) was
"She's Out of My Life". He was my first crush. I went to bed
everynight lusting at that poster of him in the tan leather jacket at
a time when I didn't know what I was feeling was lust. I have the
sweetest memories of waking-up every Saturday morning to my mother's
grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and yoohoos (my favorite) and the
Jackson 5 cartoon. The only time you wouldn't find me and my brother
fighting was when we were dancing for our parents to a Jackson 5
song. To this day, I defy anyone older than 30 who doesn't say,
"heeey" when "I Wanna Rock with You" comes on or doesn't jump up when
they hear the FIRST chord of "I Want You Back". And who doesn't still
remember the exact place they were and how the felt when he took over
at Motown 25. MJ and The Jackson 5 provided the soundtrack for our
childhood. It's taken me 2 weeks to reconcile my feelings for the
artist that made me love music and gave many happy memories and the
troubled person he became, but I'm there now. Of course you're going
to cry, and I'm crying with you.

thanks NMP,

you are so right. they should release the Jackson 5 cartoon on DVD.

Motown 25 was seen by 47 million people. yes, I remember it.

he was the soundtrack of not only my childhood and teens, but my sisters' too (the Jackson 5).

as my Sistafriend said to me...when he died, his demons did too, so we're free to love the genius who left us all that fabulous music.

I know....I felt the same way.

Check your cookies. Agree on the memorial.

EVENING OPEN THREAD IS UP!!

The ELVISication process will continue to run its course. Starting 2morrow we go into the next phase. The MSM who wanted to trounce on the "mess" will rachet up the degradation. I lived the Elvis process and during a time when there was no 24/7 news it was really bad. So, brace yourselves but I do believe ELVISication makes you bigger than life. It paid off with Graceland and money for Lisa Marie for the rest of her great grandchildren's lives. So, get ready to grin and bear out the process. Neverland is within site, Kathryn will prevail, and MJs body will be enshrined in Neverland for years to come. In due course we will see.

I had my reservations about what I thought was becoming a real circus, but this was absolutely beautiful. WELL DONE!

Anyone listening to the shit Donny Deutsch is spewing!

i had to turn the channel after i threw up in my mouth a little

I emailed the ED Show to complain about that insensitive pig! You all should do so as well. Here is the link to the show's site: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30031533/ns/msnbc_t...

Tricia Rose, AA Studies Professor from Brown just laid the smackdown on Donny Douche's comments.

Yeah, but he always spews shit for attention.

I hit the remote as soon as the venom started spewing.

I was so mad I couldn't find my remote and it's right in front of me.

ugh who the fuck is donny deutsch?!? show me millions and millions of people around the world who give a damn about anything donny deutsch ever did!

I think he is a marketing and PR expert from CNBC. He's trying to get some soundbites.

Maybe that's why he's so mad, because when he dies most of us won't give a rat's ass.

why is stephen a. smith on the ed show having to defend al sharpton's comments to the media?? just because you don't like what he had to say about y'all, doesn't mean he wasn't speaking the damn truth!

UGH@ this hater on MSNBC who doesn't think MJ did anything but "sing and dance" and is mad because OTHER people died around the same time who he thinks did more important things and didn't get much if any recognition. SMH. This asshole doesn't get it at all.

Oh....another idiot that probably thinks Elvis was the best thing since sliced bread and now are experiencing the very real fact that Michael eclipses Elvis in impact on pop culture, not to mention Michael's humanitarian work which is simply immeasurable at this point.

Maybe he should have actually WATCHED and LISTENED during the service and he would have learned something.

That mofo is not interested in learning. His simple mind simply is not capable of trying to comprehend anything beyond his moronic viewpoint and his hollow heart will not allow his mind to WANT to learn more.

You would think so?

OMG, this idiot just said "I don't think music changes lives" is he fucking serious? he's never been in a bad mood and listened to a certain song that picked him up? Or had something good happen to him and had a celebratory tune in his head? And Michael Jackson gave so much to charity and he DID save tens of thousands of lives even though he wasn't a doctor and didn't fight in a "war" in the traditional sense. Hell, I played the flute/piccolo for most of my life, MUSIC helped me pay for undergrad. If it wasn't for MUSIC I'd have even MORE student loans than I do now from undergrad. And you know what the first dance routine was I learned? It was to "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough" Hell, we played that song so damn much when the DM would call for it I'd think to myself "Okay, we've had enough!"

Fuck that asshole.

He needs to slapped repeatedly. That is all.

Repeatedly!

Repeatedly! Can't they give us the damn day to mourn in peace!

i had 2 turn the station before i cursed at the T.V.!!!

I think Janet is going to be like Connie in The Godfather who took care of her brother Michael and took care of his legacy. Well it looks like Janet may be the one who'll take care of her brother's affairs and take care of his children. She's going to be tenacious and protective, and I don't think that Debbie Rowe will run up against Auntie Janet.
The Jackson have an opportunity to guard Michael's legacy so that it extends into perpetuity. They should not descend into squabbles like the King family, and they should be ruthless in cutting out the sharks and hanger-ons.
Yes, I see Janet transforming and really taking a big role in how her brother's legacy is shaped, and I think that she'll be a forced to be reckoned with.

i agree. it's time to cut off the shysters and the phoney friends who weren't out for michaels' best interest. and i do hope that she gets those kids

I agree 100%. Janet will shut.it.down if necessary.

i hate the internet sometimes; there's so much hate out there. it's time to turn it all off if i'm going to maintain my sanity.

That's just jealousy-Ha! Don't let it get to you.

I think Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. (Prince), Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson (Blanket) will be just fine with the Jackson matriarch. Just fine. That is already a very "blended" family of all hues. Go away moneyRowe.

If AEG sells DVDs of the service, they need to donate all of the profit to charity in Michael's name

Yes indeed. I'm already wanting to buy it.

The Wall Street Journal had a liveblog of MJ's memorial!! Wow!!

Actually if you read it, is pretty snarky

If they wanted people to be on their site today they better have! LOL

I had to actually do a bit of work today at the office. So did I miss Usher perform? I gotta know.

Yeah Spirit, you really did. Very touching. You have to see the show repeated later on this evening. Usher was "tourched"

Yes, you did but you can watch the replay tonight

Yeah you did. He done everybody proud. I'm sure it will be on line somewhere.

Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7brSAOTH_Lo

Thanks, Lisa. Because, I WILL NOT watch the talking heads like Toure, Capehart, and the like..... don't even want to hear these folks.

You did. He sang "gone too soon" and cried at the end

So did I.

Me too!

its a loss am in london but cant sleep after watching the service am still taking it all in.The family on stage,janet with a lump in her throat,stern look on her face listening to her niece just brought it home,mj was the an american story gone too soon,let his legacy live on

Hey guys,

In the video with Paris...Watch the young boy laying on Janet's shoulder after she takes Paris in her arms. Is that one of Michael's children?

That's Prince Michael.

Ah Ha!

See how those children reach out to her! Betta ask somebody!

On the front page of CNN, It showed Blanket up under Latoya's bosom as she had her arms around him......the media can kiss my black ass. THIS IS FAMILY. Hell, I know the dynamics of a big family - we can fall out, cuss each other out, whateva...but at the end of the day, we can come together like nobody's business. I dont give a damn WHAT the hell happened in the past. They always came together every single year for an annual family day. They are no more dysfunctional than any family in my eyes - you dig into ANY family's background and you'll come up with craziness, that's just LIFE. Fuck these numbnuts. The Jackson's showed more class and dignity today than any of those numbnuts will ever dream of having.

Dammit, Miranda! You're about to make me cry!

My heart was FULL when I saw his daughter, and when I saw how her uncles and aunts comforted them. That IS family, and I don't care what the damned "blood" says. Doesn't matter.

Blood means nothing. Love means everything.

I am done with media talking about "the kids." He was their FATHER and should be referred to as such. They should be referred to as his daughter and sons. Period.

Just as when Malia and Sasha saw their Dad on screen during the convention, and you could just tell that for that moment, the only people in the room were the daughters, Michelle and Barack? Same here. Children don't fake the funk when it comes to love of their families...they just do. Same in this case.

You better speak, APeach! Say it again!

I think Auntie Janet is the one. "Is you the one?" as Miss Jane Pittman would say.

Yeah, if she is done touring for a while, she and Jermaine D. should raise those kids with Katherine nearby for some of that grammy love.

Uh, oh, have you seen Dupree at all lately with Janet? Just asking...

That wasn't JD sitting next to Miss Jackson? Bald head?

I saw pictures from about a month ago. Don't know the gossip, though.

You know, Janet's the one.

A little humor here eeerybody...not to be insensitive. But, if I were Katherine and had just paid $25k for that gold casket. I would have said, "take them red flowers off there so the world can see that casket before I put that money in the ground. And turn up the lights, let the photographers get close up shots of the money I'm fixta put into the ground, it needs to be seen and shown." Hahahaha!

Was it gold or platinum? All I know is that it was GLEAMING!!

And I was completely impressed with the RollsRoyce motorcade..never seen so many before all in a row, and then they shut down LAfwy for the motorcade...hell ..MJ was given a President's funeral.

So happy, too cause he was better on world peace than Nixon!!

The casket was 24K gold.

For those wondering what is going on in Russia right now...

http://www.thegrio.com/2009/07/sasha-obama-is-a...

PJ I told you about MY POTUS. We have known him one year and known MJ for 40 years. He could have resigned over the last 3 hours and nobody would have cared. Sorry.

The media can play this over and over again. This memorial service has served to humanize and redeem MJ in the eyes of some. The media has some soul searching to do. They played a part in spinning his MJ’s demise.

Yeah, I can imagine that decision. "We don't have a president? But, Stevie is killing it right now. And John Mayer is coming up. Obama will still be resigned 2 hours from now. Get a tight shot of the children. Blanket is almost as cute as Sasha, and we can make Paris the new Malia".

You & Myth better stop! :)

We'll fall back in line in a few hours but today MJ may as well have been the first POTUS, he was treated as such.

So true. Before there was Barack there was Michael.

Did we know Jennifer Hudson was preg? Or am I late to this party? The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh...

there were photos a little while ago, and rumors of a baby shower. but no, you're not the only one who didn't know.

I heard rumors for awhile but didn't know for sure until I saw the pictures today. I'm glad JHud has a bit of joy to look forward to after what she's had to go through.

I knew but apparently, you are not alone. See how I did that?!!

That was the tribute MJ deserved. I can't wait to see the MTV Awards. I'm all cried out. And I loved when Paris silenced all the HATERS.

Thank you, now I have this stuck in my head...

Here's Al Sharpton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MAKLq865bk

Here's a shorter clip that starts where he gets fiery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzvcZoMy7R8

For those like me who couldn't watch at work there are at least 2 encores of the service tonight:

VH1 - 7 p.m. EDT
BET - 8 p.m. EDT

I'd rather watch BillO pluck out his eyeballs than watch BET.

hey....no fair........watching BillO pluck out his eyeballs would be fun...especially if he was doing it at gunpoint.

oooh yes!!

LMBAO!!!! Dayum, this KFC is finger licking good! :-)))

Welll - BET is out.

LOL! So true. Anyone want to bet how many commerials for their horrid television shows will played during this showing.

BET is officially blocked on my television. Right next to Fox News.

BET!!! Hahahahahahahahah!!!

ya owe me a coke ....

From TMZ: MJ and the number 7

Michael Jackson -- #7

Posted Jul 7th 2009 4:10PM by TMZ Staff

Get ready to have your mind blown. Ready? Here we go ...

-- Michael Jackson signed his will on 7/7/02.
-- Michael Jackson's memorial was on 7/7/09 ... exactly 7 years after the will was signed.
-- Michael Jackson's two biggest hits -- "Black & White" and "Billie Jean" -- were each #1 for 7 weeks.
-- Michael Jackson's three biggest albums -- "Thriller," "Bad" and "Dangerous" -- each produced 7 top 40 hits.
-- Michael Jackson was the 7th of 9 children.
-- Michael Jackson was born in 1958 ... 19 + 58 = 77
-- Michael Jackson died on the 25th ... 2 + 5 = 7
-- Michael Jackson has 7 letters in his first and last name.

If you're looking for lottery numbers tonight, we recommend something with the number 7 in it.

Do people really have THAT much time on their hands? LOL

hey Lisa Michael was the 8th of 10 children!!!

Look at you goin' and messin' up TMZ's attempt to find somethin' in nothin'.

He's was the 7th child that lived!!

yeah but TMZ messed it up......he was Katherine's 8th child, something that a lot of people forget......even my granny didn't know that...lol

My Lord!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, Al Sharpton is trending on Twitter, and it's people AGREEING with him! LOL. Michael Jackson really does make magic happen. :o)

Were those ALL Jacksons singing "Heal the World"? Whose kids?

Are we burying MJ today? I have run the gamut with Michael user pics. Today is it. ROFLMFBAO!!!!

Bentleys and Range Rovers in the motorcade, repast at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the Jackson family is not playing!

MSNBC is trying to shame this lady from In Touch into leaving the kids alone. A lot of hedging. They need to leave the kids alone.

CNN kinda being respectful. They're really confusing me.

That's called "shame"....they're being respectful because the Jacksons just made them look in the mirror.

I almost fell over when Greta said they (FOX, the media) were being too hard on MJ.

How did you happen to even stop there today? I ain't mad at you for surfing though. News junkie's gotta get their fix wherever they can get it. I DO.

I like Shep way more the Chris Jansing or anyone on CNN so I tuned in to see what he had to say. Greta happened to be the corespondent inside the Staples center and it was like she was hit by the holy ghost they way she was commenting.

You know those follks cannot come to a service delivered by black folks, and not have their hearts opened.

YT likes to think blacks are simpletons, too emotional, don't have the intellect. If you don't have SOUL, intellect, not going to count for didley.

Now, on the other hand, Palin doesn't have either.

Have mercy!!

Look, I am proud of CNN with at least 7 AAs. They called in every AA "contributor" that they had (even though they won't give any of them a show). MSNBC ONLY had Toure and Tamron and that's shameful. Shameful.

Have you been watching all day? Since 9:00E they have had Genuine, Steven A. Smith, Jonothon C., Gene R., Carlos, Toure, Tamron and a few guys I didn't recognize.

Okay, you're right. But the only true contributor was Jonathan Capehart. I turned away and called him an unsensitive fool when he called MJ's casket a 'coffin.'

Oh and don't forget Dylan Ratigan's spoken word rendition of "Billy Jean". He brought it in true white boy fashion.

LOL!

That was hilarious. Ginuwine was practically rolling on the floor laughing.

MSNBC has more Black people than that and they are all on the channel regularly. I respect them MORE for not parading out all of their black anchors to cover this story.

Today was the VERY day they should have "paraded them out". What better ocassion to show your diversity than when the world is watching. THOSE PEOPLE cannot interpret out cultural events like we can. Gurl please, Christianne WHO?

I disagree, I'm tired of all of the Black commentators getting put all over the TV whenever it has something to do with Obama or in this case MJ. If your normally only have one or two on a day, keep it that way.

Agree to disagree. I do respect everyone's opinion. (Well most of the time I do-LOL!)

Paris shamed them.

You are so right.

They're shame, baby!

Diane Diamond, the media...shamed, shamed, shamed!

Was this memorial/tribute/funeral not first class? Two once in a lifetime experiences in the same year:

January 20, 2009
July 7, 2009

Whodda thunk?

BET, take notes...then memorize. This was very well done, very tasteful. I just wish this didn't happen.

One we all couldn't wait to see happen, and one we never wanted to see happen.

You AIN'T lying, Baracktopia!

Say that!

Sure ya right!! Hope Debra Lee was watching.

Hanging her head in shame, I hope?

I think MJ, the man who made MTV, is about to be the man who brought down BET. Viacom is not deaf to the fact the anti-BET noise got a whole lot louder after the awards. I expect a re-tooling of the network soon.

Paris Jackson just became the biggest star on earth. Katherine needs to keep her away from Joe who will have her in The Chettah Girls 5 or Junior High School Musical by the end of the month.

You ain't right! LOL!

ROTFLMBO!!! Chetah Girls 5

Girl you crazy. Paris-Michael will be the first signed on his new record label.

I honestly think most people will want them to leave Paris and her brothers alone.

Joe is not most people.

He ran one child slap,dap out of his mind crazy...what's it gonna hurt to exploit a little grandchild. The hard part about DapDaddyJoeJackson, HE IS STILL STANDING.

Well, I don't think JANET will allow him to fuck up Mike's kids.

Janet don't play. I wouldn't try to come up against her with those kids. Joe knows he bet' step off when it comes to Janet.

Yeah, they know the damage he caused so they will block his ass from these kids.

hey guys not trying 2 rain on the parade but we must rememeber that not only did we lose the greatest entertainer ever....but a mother lost a child, kids lost a father and brothers and sisters lost a brother!!!!

I think that was the biggest message sent today. It really was....I was so touched just watching them.

Based on what you all have described, it sounds like that point was really driven home today. Special blessings to the Jackson family. They could have very easily had something behind closed doors, and I'm sure most folks wouldn't have blamed them. But to share this farewell to Michael, and their grief, with the entire world says a lot about them.

Amen.

ya know...

sitting back watching and taking in all of this has given rise to so many ironies....

The media dogged out the late, great MJ for shielding his children's faces from the cameras, and likely from the media's sting.....but it was his daughter Paris, unshielded, with her beautiful face showing and her voice strong professing her love and speaking the truth about her father....and she shamed some folks with that candid, beautiful moment.

As much as the media counted Michael's fortune and labeled him as a reckless spender......they could not even muster the words to say that he was and still is the most giving pop star ever.........Charity WAS in Michael's heart......you can say what you want about Michael but I guarantee you he's done more for the good of his fellow man than some of these "prosperity preachers"

As much as the so-called "knowledgeable" media wants to criticize the Jackson family and call them dysfunctional......there ain't a DAMN thing they can dispute about the FAMILY that stood united on that stage today. Like Miranda said, that was FAMILY...that was LOVE.

And just because she wanted the world to know how much she loved her Daddy does NOT mean that the media has free license to hound those kids now.

true dat.

Monie u ain't neva lied.....like i said before, u got some people saying that he wasn't dem kids real father and that they didn't have his blood...try telling dem kids that and they might kick the s*** out u!!!!

Cicely Tyson just said why Michael wore the one glove. The vitiligo started on his hand and the glove was to hide it.

Cicely is bringin it!

OH, I missed it, what channel was she on?

Oh yes she is.

BET (I know, I know!) is running a marathon of Michael's videos.

Probably because they've been good and SHAMED.

SMH@ MSNBC asking if the kids will be left alone. Umm, they will be if ya'll LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE.

LMAO @ MSNBC with their concern trolling.

Why nobody in the MSM know what a repast is? See that's why they need mo' black folks on they staff.

Tamron is breaking it down for Shuster and the rest of the world right now. Letting them know what a repast is...food, hugs, backbone.

I don't know the traditions of Jewish or Irish funerals so I can't hate that people don't know about the repast.

I know I'm late to this, but both Jewish and Irish folks eat after funerals.
But Irish folks also get plastered. What we call a viewing, they sometimes call a wake.

Traditional Jews bury their dead before the next 24 sundown.

But no culture that I know of calls it an 'afterparty'

SMH...

You might not but I can. Ever since the Obama nomination the MSM has been acting like everything black people do is so new and exotic and magical. It's called "pay attention to the people around you."

"It's called "pay attention to the people around you."

So true Town, and to do that, you have to have HEART, an OPEN HEART.

Well at least they had someone explain it. No one saying it's exotic or magical, but some people outside of the black culture don't know what a repast is. Once it's explained I sure people were like "oh, it's like a reception. Thanks for the definition so I can follow along".

The original complaint was the MSM didn't have any black folk to explain the term. Now that it was explained the complaint is they should have just known?

If they had paid attention to the black people on their staff from the get go they wouldn't have to ask people at the last minute, "What's a repast?" They wouldn't be amazed at Barack and Michelle Obama giving each other "dap," and they wouldn't be wondering why black people do this or that.

AGAIN, it's called "pay attention to the people around you." In this multicultural society, there is absolutely NO excuse, especially among members of the MSM who have the opportunity to be around people of different backgrounds at any given time.

Everyone knows there is a reception after a funeral, not everyone knows what it is called in every culture. This was a great time to learn and with millions of people watching there are now millions less uninformed people in the world.

I think only one broadcaster didn't know what the dap was and she got fired. Yes, there was a reaction to it but it's because it was different from normal husband/wife interactions during a campaign, just like Tipper and Al kissing made a big splash, also, because not everyone does it.

Let the church say Amen.

Amen!

Amen.

Yes they do, yes they do. They might not eat but bet your bottom dollar they gonna invite you over for some LIQUOR. Repast my azz...they get drunk!

They dont know its time for some chicken, potato salad, one of the mother's of the church good pound cake and some sweet tea?? Are you serious??

See.......need more diversity in the media for real y'all.

I was watching MSNBC, they HAVE Black people there. Hell TAMRYN was JUST on the TV, they couldn't just ask HER what a repast was? Or did she not know? SMH

She just explained it.

See now......smh....I knew when they bought in the casket to "Soon and Very Soon"...that there was gonna be a cultural breakdown in understanding this service..but Lawd....

I knew we were going to have a shoutin' good time when they rolled him in to Andrae Crouch.

Didn't you know it!

Oh Yeah!

Whew!! Chile.....I was clapping up in here, swaying back and forth like I was back in the junior choir at my church growing up!

Best Moments:

Maya Angelou poem read by Latifah

Jennifer Hudson/Stevie singing

Sharpton " he out sang the cynics, out danced the doubters & out performed the pessimists.....whaddn't nothing strange about your daddy"

Magic..." chef brought me the grill chicken and then sat a bucket of KFC in front of MJ..I was like Michael you eat Kentucky Fried? And we sat on the floor and finished that bucket"

Paris...' ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine...I love you..

Here's the part with Kobe and Magic (Still laughing at the KFC story) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pc0WXVSIGg

That was too funny.

Perez Hilton said they shouldn't have let Paris talk. She WANTED to talk, and if she WANTED to say a public goodbye to her father, I say let her. It's not like like the press was going to just leave the kids alone anyway.

LOL I was lost at "Perez Hilton said...." If you look up bottom-feeder in the dictionary you will see " Hilton,Perez."

Fuck that WATB Perez Hilton. I hope Will.I.Am.'s manager whoops his punk ass some more.

Punks jump up to get beat down.

Obviously will.i.am's manager didn't punch him upside the head hard enough the first time.

Perez need to STFU..whoEVER heard of not letting a child speak at their parents funeral if they want to?

Why are you still going to his site?

I don't go to his site, it was on Twitter, someone said they agreed with him so I looked to see what he said. While I refuse to USE twitter, times like these I like to check out the trending topics. Notice the trending topics right now:

# MJ`s
# · MJ Memorial
# · We are the world
# · Shaheen Jafargholi
# · #michaeljackson
# · RiP MJ
# · Who's Loving You
# · Gone too Soon
# · KFC
# · MJs

Michael Jackson made KFC a trending topic on Twitter! LOL. And now I'm really craving some. . .

The KFC are slapping each other five right about now!

I think I'm having KFC for dinner tonight.

Me too!! I am ready to go get a bucket to celebrate MJ's life!

That was the most endearing story Magic told...and I could just see MJ smiling at Magic when he bit into his Kentucky Fried, while Earvin had that grilled chicken...bet MJ was laughing hard.

Add KFC to the long line of people/companies that will now be raking in the cash thanks to MJ (LOL)

KFC will have a good 3rd quarter.....very good!

LOL! I'm heading to KFC for dinner tonight!

You better believe it...a KFC commercial with "I'll be There" playing is probably in the works as we type.

LMAO @ YOU WRB!

Say it!

Perez can kiss my black @SS!

Mine as well!

Wonder what August 29th is going to be like...

Having lost my mother 7 months ago, take it from me, I promise you it won't be easy. Grief is a process that never runs its course.

Don't I know that! Grief is something else. There are still times I cry out for my mother. I love her so much and always will. Love never ever dies!

You know Justice!!...we can all feel that child and what she's about to go thru losing the one and only parent she has ever known. She put the human face on this tragedy. Love ya Justice!

Love you right back, Mythe!

You're a good friend and I do thank God for it.

Sorry about your loss, Myth. When I lost my mom 14 years ago I thought Thanksgiving and Christmas would be the hardest days to get through. Nope. Her birthday and Mother's Day were hands down the worst. This year's birthday was especially emotional as it was on Inauguration Day. But having said that time is the great healer, as the years go by those milestone days and holidays get a little bit easier to deal with.

Thanks Ms. Kitty. I left town this past Christmas and Mother's Day. You have to let that grief come in a little at a time. Days like today, make it rough. Thanks again.

12 years ago my mom passed and I still miss her terribly and cry sometimes. so . . .

Same here, Val!

We will always love our sweet sweet mothers!

Today's like today make it hard when you've lost a parent and know what Paris-Michael Katherine is about to go thru. Thanks Val.

I feel you. My mom died 6 years ago and it's still not easy.

It will be 4 years next Thursday since my mom died. It's a void unlike any other.

Yes Lord. Nothing or no one can fill it!

Tell me about it, Lisa! I know. I know.

Feel ya Lisa!
