By WENNTuesday, August 18, 2009
“He was a big lad. They were builder’s hands MICHAEL JACKSON had.” U2 star BONO on the late King of Pop.
“Paris is so cute, she has these hawk eyes. She can spot a camera from a mile away.” MICHAEL JACKSON’s daughter PARIS is always on the look out for paparazzi, according to her aunt JANET.
“MICHAEL JACKSON thought I had nice cheekbones. He told my manager that… I thought that was special.” QUEEN LATIFAH on a career highlight.
It’s a wonderful tribute to Michael. It’s a great way for the kids to remember their dad.” MICHAEL JACKSON’s ex-wife DEBBIE ROWE is a big fan of the King of Pop’s new concert rehearsal movie THIS IS IT.
“I once went to the track with ELIZABETH TAYLOR and MICHAEL JACKSON. I asked Michael to pick a horse. He said, ‘Oh no, I’m a Jehovah’s Witness.’ So I told him to just put his hand down on the race card. His hand came down on this horse that was a 30-1 shot. I bet on that horse and it won. I came over to Michael and said, ‘We won!’ I tried to give the money to him, but he screamed and tore off running.” Actor GEORGE HAMILTON reflects on an encounter with the late King of Pop.
“That kid did more good for people than anybody will ever know, and all of his friends know it.” LIZA MINNELLI pays tribute to the late King of Pop MICHAEL JACKSON, who was the best man at her wedding to DAVID GEST.
“They did it with MICHAEL JACKSON (with the child sex allegations). People love negativity, people feed on that. If I live my life in a positive way maybe people can see past this.” CHRIS BROWN hopes the media will allow him to move forward and work towards making amends for assaulting RIHANNA in the headline-grabbing incident earlier this year (09). Jackson was cleared of all charges in his 2005 trial.
“The show was incredible. JANET did a fantastic job, and I was very proud and honoured to be there. That’s just part of the responsibility we have as a family to keep MICHAEL’s legacy alive.” JERMAINE JACKSON applauds his sister JANET JACKSON’s dance tribute to their late sibling, the King of Pop MICHAEL JACKSON, at Sunday’s (13Sep09) MTV Video Music Awards.
“I always wish they had made a movie together.” QUEEN LATIFAH would have been the first person in line if MICHAEL JACKSON and his sister JANET had teamed up on the big screen.
“I did not consider myself to be a friend of his and I didn’t want to be one of those people showing up just because it’s Michael Jackson. I was someone who had interviewed him and, at the time, really had a lot of compassion for him.” OPRAH WINFREY on why she refused to attend the late King of Pop’s memorial concert and funeral.
“He plays MICHAEL JACKSON, JACKSON 5 clips on constant rotation.” Actor TRACY MORGAN worships the King Of Pop, according to his 30 ROCK co-star KEITH POWELL.
“I got to meet her last week during the MICHAEL JACKSON tribute. It was great, incredible. I almost cried. This is Michael Jackson’s mom! This is the lady who gave birth to Michael Jackson!” R&B star MYA on meeting the Jackson family matriarch backstage at hit U.S. TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS.
“He was full of energy. As soon as he got up on that stage, he was keeping up with 20-year-old dancers. He wasn’t sitting in the corner looking really ill.” Singer/guitarist ORIANTHI, who was due to perform alongside MICHAEL JACKSON during his London This Is It concerts, insists the late King of Pop was a picture of health during his final days. Jackson died from a prescription drug overdose in June (09), just days before the start of his comeback shows in the British capital.

You gotta see it for yourself.” Rapper/actor ICE-T was impressed with MICHAEL JACKSON’s performance in his concert rehearsal film THIS IS IT after attending the Los Angeles premiere of the documentary on Tuesday night (27Oct09).
