More on MJ

I'm annoyed over all the celebs who didn't know Michael (or weren't directly influenced by his work) that are weighing in all over the media about his death. They are just trying to get in the spotlight. Who cares what Kim Kardashian thinks? What I'm interested in are the celebs that are really impacted. Here are some highlights:

Paul McCartney: "I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones."

Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."

Justin Timberlake: "I can't find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael's passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones."

Elizabeth Taylor's spokesman: "Dame Elizabeth Taylor is too devastated by the passing of her dear friend Michael Jackson to issue a statement at this time."

Lisa Marie Presley: "I am completely shocked and saddened by Michael's death. My heart goes out to his children and his family."

Brooke Shields: ""My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."

And just for fun, here are some pics from some of his odd romances:



Okay, he and Liz Taylor were never really romantically linked, but they were really close.
