"He's such a humble person for someone who's such a megastar." -- Right. Prepare for disbelief as you read this earnest travelogue from one young British Michael Jackson fan who flew to LA to "support"her favorite celebrity wacko. The eternal question: what is it with this guy? I'm as big a fan of "Thriller" as the next person, but he has long since transcended (subscended?) his pop efforts into the realms of idle eccentricity and possibly (probably?) criminal deeds. How does he keep up a fan base among kids who were infants when his last good record came out? On American Idol last night, there was one full-regalia MJ impersonator, as well as several otherwise normal-looking contestants belting out his tunes. I for one would rather see a dozen bad wannabe-Whitneys than a chinos-clad programmer wiggling around to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." Yick.
