Pictures Of Alien Spotted At Michael Jackson Funeral
Alien Spotted At Michael Jackson Funeral.
YOU’VE seen the pictures from the Michael Jackson funeral extravaganza. You read the views about the “macabre“, “sicko“, “freak” show. You bought the gold-rimmed plate. Now wonder who was that man who mounted the stage to lead off the singing of We Are The World?
Now know that an alien was seen at the Staples Centre.
Anroak’s Man in LA appeared to be “the extraterrestrial alien visitor Michael Jackson attempted to turn himself into. With his doe eyes, deer-in-the-headlights expression and reptile skin jacket, he could have come from the Black Lagoon.”
Apologies for missing the shocking news earlier. We, like you, were distracted by these images:

Michael Jackson Is A Damned ‘Sicko Freak’
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: As macrabre and damning show, a living saint and all other views…
Andre Peyser (NY Post): EXCESS RITES ALL WRONG FOR SICKO FREAK!
You got two for the price of one if you attended Michael Jackson’s spectacular dog-and-pony show yesterday — a memorial as dignified as a Vegas lounge-lizard act combined with the entertainment value of a carnival freak show.
How soon one forgets, given the opportunity to participate in this mass hysteria. From the accolades, prayers and cries of grief, you’d think you were witnessing the death of a saint, not an accused serial pedophile who hated the skin in which he lived.
Gordon Smart (The Sun): “Read Bizarre editor’s damning verdict”
Tasteful stuff.
This wasn’t a memorial for a pop icon or the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen.
It was a reminder of why MICHAEL JACKSON became a deeply unhappy, lonely man living an utterly bizarre existence.
It was a macabre circus.
Paris didn’t look comfortable and more importantly, capable, of doing it… I just couldn’t believe my eyes… Having said that, her few words were deeply touching, bringing a tear to the eye.
So a deeply touching macabre circus featuring a grieving young girl who wasn’t capable but, er, was.
Andrew Gumbel (The Guardian): “Michael Jackson memorial: Showbiz, schmaltz and not a trace of Wacko”
They came not to lay Michael Jackson to rest so much as to ease him gently into a warm bath of adulation, hyperbole and showbiz razzle-dazzle tinged with more than a hint of religious symbolism.
The Jackson celebrated today at the downtown Los Angeles Staples Centre in a two-hour extravaganza of song, sermonising and tears was very far from the headline-grabbing, lawsuit-happy eccentric with the multiple plastic surgeries, the sporadic addiction to painkillers and the endless gossip about prepubescent boys.

Lindsay Lohan ‘Stole’ Sevin Nyne
WITH Michael Jackson dead, eyes and minds move towards Lindsay Lohan, who for reasons of sexism never did make her way as a child actress into Jackson’s inner duvet of trust.
And news is that Lohan has invented a new spray tan. The Freckle-Me will stain your skin and make less visible any blemishes, homogenising your dermis with Lohan petpi-pesides-jojobas. Sevin Nyne comes in a Lycra bottle and will deliver a new waterproof you.
But – what’s this? – a lawsuit filed in Tampa federal court says Lohan and Lorit Simon, a Las Vegas businesswoman stole the formula for Sevin Nyne from a St. Petersburg chemist named Jennifer Sunday.

Peaches Geldof Wants To As Un-Sexy As Angelina Jolie
STOMP on that thought and know that Peaches Geldof does not want to be thought of as “sexy”. Try to ee her instead as a British, shrunken, more desperate, less talented, more ordinary Angelina Jolie.
Says the sexy, sorry, hideous Peaches Geldof:
“It’s obvious I’m not dressing for men. I don’t want to be sexy. I’m like covered in tattoos. I have piercings.”
She is what she is. A plain girl trying to be noticed with piercings and tattoos:
“I’m just grungy and weird and not what is socially accepted as beautiful, and I think that’s cool.”

The Sun: “Shaheen Sings for Jacko – Boy, 12, joins Wonder, Carey and Usher”
The Boy Wonder. He’s 12. It’s OK, Shaheen, Jackson’s dead. That can of coke will taste exactly as you’d expect, no top notes of claret and base notes of soapy suds.
BRITAIN’S Got Talent schoolboy Shaheen Jafargholi is sensationally set to sing today at Michael Jackson’s memorial. The stunned 12-year-old, of Swansea, was invited by the Jackson family, who told him the King of Pop was a huge fan of his Jacko tribute act.
