Michael Jackson continues to hang out with children


Even though Michael Jackson sang just a few words at Wednesday night’s World Music Awards, his concert rider was supposedly one of the most expensive ever. According to the London Mirror, Jacko’s set of demands cost WMA producers more than $470,000:

Jackson was given a private jet and 20 first-class and business-class plane tickets for his entourage - as well as an entire five-star hotel for almost $100,000 a night. Jackson had 30 children in tow, and reportedly had a wall knocked down between two hotel suites for a playroom for the kiddies. “Yes, it’s eccentric but he wants to create a homey environment for them,” a source told the paper.

Ummm, I can’t really focus on the rider when I’m reading an article about Michael Jackson and see this line: “Jackson had 30 children in tow.” WTF? What kind of parents are still letting their children hang out with Michael Jackson? That’s like inviting Jeffrey Dahmer over for a dinner party and then welding your door shut. I feel like someone should be investigating this.
