especially fresh-faced vocalist Michael
number nine the baby and the balcony an

troubling 21st century headlines in
November 2002 he impulsively recklessly
and hugely irresponsibly dangled his
infant son from a third-story window and
made front-page news the world over the
stunt which took place at the Hotel
Adlon in Berlin involved Michaels third
child Prince Michael the second before
the baby was haphazardly held over
Michael Jackson’s balcony there had been
mounting speculation that the singer was
fathered to a third child after these

really admire him I respect him I admire
him I’m in love with him the couple tied
the knot in secret in the Dominican
Republic in 1994 their first major
public appearance together came at the
MTV VMAs of the same year where they
made kiss history by awkwardly smooching
in front of millions the couple lived
out their union under intense public
glare until Presley filed for divorce in
early 1996 and to think no one thought
this would last Lisa Marie Presley and
Michael Jackson have been married for
almost 20 months rather longer than some
predicted number six plastic surgery and
changing skin colored people makeup
doors that I don’t want to be Who I am
it hurt if there’s ever been a poster
boy for the overuse of plastic surgery
then it’s probably Michael Jackson
Michael frequently insisted that he’d
only ever gone under the knife twice for
his nose on both occasions but even to
the untrained eye the physical evidence
clearly contradicts that according to
published reports Michael’s first
rhinoplasty occurred after he broke his
nose in 1978 while shooting the wist the
change in Jackson’s skin color perhaps
raised most eyebrows including his own
the singer suffered from vitiligo a
disease affecting skin pigmentation and
is thought to have purposely bleached
himself beyond his natural color in
order to escape the symptoms bleaching
your skin and kept our issue skin
lighter because you don’t like being
black nice to meet you it’s nice to meet
you that’s wasn’t it a nice bit for me
to be number five Martin Bashir
in February of 2003 the living with
Michael Jackson interview was watched by
over fifty million people in the US and
the UK alone
Bashir built the show around Jackson’s
changing appearance the Neverland Ranch
and the singers apparent obsession with
children revelations that Jackson shared
his bed with young boys served as firm
foundations for the legal troubles which
followed I stood up on the floor
I wasn’t sleeping back none in fact the
whole list of likeit’s of the floor but
Bashir didn’t escape unscathed either as
critics accused him of yellow journalism
of doctoring the truth and of
intentionally portraying Jackson in a
negative light the world needs a man
who’s 44 sleeping over taking a old
renowned are you making our will tell me
help me because what’s wrong with
sharing a love with those words Michael
Jackson’s attorney ended the case cinchy
without number four the child abuse
trial 50 witnesses over 15 days
testified in Jackson’s defense easily
the most controversial moment in Michael
Jackson’s history in 2005 the dancefloor
filler landed in court accused of a
string of child molestation offenses
dubbed the trial of the century
Jackson was eventually found not guilty
on all charges but his reputation would
never recover in 1993
Jackson was subject to similar
allegations concerning a
thirteen-year-old boy this is what I
have to endure to prove my innocence my
complete innocent so be it that matter
was settled out of court but a massive
media frenzy proved unavoidable the
second time around for many it was
Jackson’s final step in a fantastic fall
from grace accuser and his brothers
spent 90% of the nights between February
and March of 2003 in Michael Jackson’s
room so if he’s if he’s intoxicated four
out of seven nights yup then 50% of the
time that he’s with those kids he’s
intoxicated I thought that was really
big
number three thriller

Jackson’s life to probably the highest
