Michael Jackson and Friends: From Pop Stars to Presidents
Michael Jackson was not just a talented musician, he was a true genius. And even though his legendary contribution to the music world has been overshadowed the last few years by accusations, trials, and changes in his physical appearance, he was never at a loss for friends. By all accounts, he was sweet, kind, and had a childlike outlook on life that was contagious. People just wanted to be with him... from pop stars to Presidents. So we take a look at the King of Pop and just SOME of the famous people who clamored to be by his side, from Elizabeth Taylor to Nelson Mandela.

She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"

What's the most important is that you don't have to be a millionaire, but you can meet one. BTW, Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007."

He looks so sad in all his pics here. But I know he has found the peace he was yearning for. Love him, Remember him, but hope the world can let the family have peace at this time of sadness. My prayers are with you Jackson Fly.

When I heard that MJ had died, I was riding down the street in my car. Before I knew it, I immediately teared up and was consumed before I realized it. It was like hearing a family member had died. We actually grew up with him. He will truly be missed. RIP MJ......My prayers are with the Jackson family.

I am one fan of Michael's music. There have also millions that all are shocked by suddenly universal truth of the one famous music talented in the world. Nobody can deny it. But his contribution will recall him again and again in our every ledger time of music lovers. M
