C.J. of the Minneapolis Star Tribune has 13 questions for Michael Jackson after watching the Martin Bashir documentary last week. Amongst them: “At what age are you going to get over the horrible way your sorry father treated you and start acting like an adult?” And: “Had you ever actually fed ‘Blanket’ before that uncomfortable Butterfly McQueenesque bottle-feeding session performed for Martin Bashir?”
Friends Jump To Jackson’s Defense
February 10, 2003 - *NSYNC star Chris Kirkpatrick, Nelly, LL Cool J, and Usher were amongst the stars who weighed in on the controversy now surrounding Michael Jackson. Kirkpatrick said, “It’s really hard, you know, to watch Michael Jackson and to have people who don’t really know him saying all these things about him. That’s Michael, you know, that’s somebody that we respected. We grew up idolizing him you know.”
