yes i agree with you there, he alway's told him he was ugly,i guess a lot more went on behind closed doors that we will never know about either,he is a low life in my opinion, and i am sure some of his childhood contributed to the way he was indeed.

He was a perfectionist apparently,i guess that is one of the reasons he kept getting the plastic surgery on his face,there was a time when he had some done but he looked fine, i found him quite handsome then, but then he just went too far.

yes maybe the chewing gum was a pacifier for the children at a difficult time, i did have that thought myself,just not the done thing here, but then this is hollywood.

Again i thought the memorial was in good taste, only a few aspects of it i found a bit distasteful, but hey they weren't there to please me now were they? it was what they wanted for MJ and how they conducted themselves is really their business, but when you are a celeb you are wide open to judgment regardless of whether it is right or wrong IMO.,that is the downside of being in the public eye and something they just have to accept.
