"This is thriller, thriller night and no one's gonna save you from the beast about tostrike," Michael Jackson's own words, which might sum up his life at the present times.
Since February, jurors have been hearing testimony over the Michael Jackson child molestation case.
Unfortunately the case is not open to the public but the E! Network has done it's best to get the public in on all the important details by doing a re-enactment of the trial.
The late night talk show hosts can't get enough of it. As the trial progresses, these late night personalities obtain more comedic material for their shows because the 47 year old entertainer does just that, entertains. From being late to court, showing up in his pajamas and standing on the roof of his car the "king of pop" keeps bringing more and more attention to his trial and to himself.
It's almost if Jackson wants the attention. His entire career he has been filled with controversy from the first molestation case, skin disease, his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, his plastic surgeries and swinging one of his own infant children off the edge of a balcony in front of a crowd of cameras and journalists Jackson has been in the public eye without end for over 30 years now.
When asked why he loves spending time with children, Jackson will answer that he loves children, and while growing up he didn't get to have much of a childhood because he was too busy with his family music group, Jackson 5.
After Jackson made his fortune by being one of the best-selling artists in the 80s and 90s he developed Neverland Ranch, his private amusement park. He states he invites children over rediscover his own childhood or maybe he used it child bait.
After being charged once with child molestation you would assume that Jackson would have been more careful about his actions, if indeed he is innocent.
It's obvious that Jackson is comfortable in the spotlight but I don't believe the old saying, "Any press is good press" applies in this situation.
