Michael Jackson broke as a joke? That’s what some people are saying
Bookmark on del.icio.us | by ThurstonThe Madman of the Moonwalk has been dragged into court again. Despite what uninformed Michael Jackson Zombie Fan Club members say, there’s mounting evidence that the King of Flop is in a downward death-spiral to the celebrity boneyard. His popularity is fading faster than a turd going down a freshly-flushed gurgler and he’s in hock up to his eyeballs.
Even the Russians are up in arms, as the latest issue of Pravda mentions Jackson’s newest lawsuit, where it’s alleged that he owes $3.8 million to F. Marc Schaffel for videos they made together.

Those productions were intended to rehabilitate Jackson’s image after the airing of a damaging documentary in which he said he shared his bed in a nonsexual way with children.
So, despite what certain fans may claim, it’s VERY EXPENSIVE to have to defend yourself from serious criminal and civil charges all the time. MJ spends a lot more than the average entertainer on lawyers, and the negative press has eroded his fan-base severely since his peak 20 years ago. These constant charges can’t be good for business.
Worse yet for his fame: the world has moved on from his sickening sweet style of Pop music. The chance of his making even a minor comeback is nearly impossible, IMHO.
