Michael's Diva Demands - Michael Jackson

There was all this talk about Michael Jackson attending the Grammy’s but the show aired on TV and we never saw Jacko. So what happened?

Michael Jackson was supposed to be honored at the award show last week but rumor has it that he was such a diva with his demands that they pulled the plug on honoring him.

Some of his reported demands were as follows: He wanted a special honoree to introduce him on stage. He demanded a special award, something no one had or would ever receive again. He wanted the entire event dedicated to his career with no less than 30 mentions referring to him as the ‘King of Pop,’ The NY Post reports.

The Grammy’s people obviously weren’t having it, that’s why Michael probably stayed home instead. What do you guys think, should they have done all that for the ‘King of Pop’?

So,I really think that they who say bull shit about Michael are so damn stupid and even there can be in MJhaters peopple who was MJ-fan,but he/she was too "small" that he`s/ * supporting can`t be ever and ever so they just believes in tabloids and not the Michael.And then they go wrong,because MJ is INNOCENT and will be ever!They who supporting him then (when the alligations was). And supporting him now are really fans! because not matter what they always loves MJ and supporting him like me!But I`m just 1year old fan but I will be always one of his fans! I hope that you get what I mean,because my motherlanguage is not a english it`s finnish. And God bless you,where ever be Michael Jackson`s fans and YEAS his is coming back and they haters can be dissapear and never come back!!! And if you don`t have any goods thinghs said about Michael then DON`T SAY ANYTHING!

God anointed Michael Jackson to sing while he was in his mother's womb. The bible talks about for what is given much is required. Along with this gift came a lot of trials. I love Michael and anxiously awaits what is in store for us this year. As far as those who accuse him of unproven slights... he without sin let him cast the first stone... there will always be haters in the world. It is up to us fans to continue to uplift Michael. Yes he is the true King of Pop and I am looking forward to his return to the throne. :)

8:14PM 03/26/08 Yana Kiten

Sure! definitely!!! They should've done that! He deserves so much more than just that. Pity that people don't realize how much he has done. I'm sorry for the selfish, narrow minded people who dont see past their noses. And the stupid who still believe he is guilty. Sad!

3:21AM 03/22/08 MJ blows boys

Michael Jackson has been molesting boys for over 25 years and getting away with it because of apologist white do-gooders and his checkbook. Well, the checkbook is now empty and the great majority has spoken. You're guilty Michael Jackson and we're going to starve you into the poorhouse.

first of all, all you people out there talking shit about michael jackson need to know the facts before you open your mouths and say bullshit about that man, michael is arguably the best entertainer ever, it is no secret the amount of money and charitable things that her has done throughout his career. mike's influence is heavy you see it everyday. I really don't think that he would admit to sleeping in the bed with children especially little boys if he was a pedophile. stop believing all that bullshit you read about that man, it's funny how theres always somebody in a michael jackson forum talking shit about him, if you fucks dislike him so much STAY THE FUCK OUT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HIM.

NO! THIS IS ANOTHER LIE THAT ONLY A ASSHOLE WOULD BELIEVE. MICHAEL JACKSON NEVER MAKES ANY KIND OF SPECIAL DEMAND OF TREATMENT OR ANYTHING AT ALL. THIS IS THE USUAL SAME OLD STUPID BULLSHIT OF THE MICHAEL JACKSON PROFESSIONAL HATERS INVENTING THE WORST, MOST ABSURD LIES ABOUT HIM. RACIST LIBERAL, FASCIST AND CORRUPT. and by the way... MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE TRUE KING OF POP, ROCK & SOUL, THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME.

9:58AM 03/05/08 Mike from Jacksonville

I feel sorry for you GULLIBLE MORONS who believe everything the Media says. If the Media says MJ is a child molester, Oh My God he must be a child molester. If the Media says he made all these demands for a grammy awards appearance, Oh My God, he must have said everything verbatim. If the Media says MJ was running for president, Oh My God he must be running for president. You idiots are pathetic. Everyone knows the media is biased, so why the HELL do you keep believe them about this stuff??? The Santa Barbara Prosecution did everything they possibly could to convict MJ, but they COULDN'T because there's no evidence if a crime was never committed, Jack asses!

4:26PM 03/04/08 nona e

why do all you people like to judge Michael Jackson, when you dont know all the facts. You beleive everything the media says, Michael Jackson cant help all you haters are losers who wanted to grow up a be a superstar like mike,keep hatin you add fuel to the fire...Michael Jackson cant be faded by you peasants sho sho now....

8:43AM 02/19/08 hotmomma

I dont know where this information came from? I think Michael Jackson has more class than that. If people would go to www. the celebrity truth . com they would see MJ wasnt planning on being there. Theres the answer. Now everyone can quit bickering.

8:29AM 02/19/08 Angel

All I have to say is whoever's talking all this trash about Michael Jackson is full of shit, jealous and can't wait to believe what the media says. The article is tabloid junk and if you believe what they say you mines well still believe in Santa Claus. Nothing they say about Michael can be proven and there's never no evidence. Yes he should have been honored and he is the Greatest of them all whether haters want to admit it or not and it is a mixture of racism, jealousy, extortion, and evilness. Michael made Grammy history so why not honor him. Most of the younger artist who was there tries to be like him and Michael is more talented and out sold every other artist that was there. I can't name not one person who doesn't look up to him. And I can name plenty of evidence to prove he's not a child molester if y'all want to take it there so let me say thisonce and for all bow down and respect the KING OF POP. HATERS!!!!!!!

7:33AM 02/19/08 Angela

Romeo how the hell do you know posters on this board aren't black? You don't. I agree with Nora and think he is a child molesting freak too. Even Quincy Jones said Michael had a "problem" when asked about the charges. So shove your racist bullshit up your ass.

7:29AM 02/19/08 andros andreou

of course they had to do it. He is the only one true king of Pop and they should say it not only 30 but 300 times if it was possible. Michael all Cyprus is crazy for you. We love you for ever !!!!!!!!!!!

11:17PM 02/18/08 Romeo

Well this is another attempt to spoil his reputation again..I hate these Racists..He is the greatest entertainer of all time..Wake up..Pls dont mess his things up...Im sick of these Tabloids..

10:23PM 02/18/08 Mae

I hate haters! Get it through your thick skulls-MJ is INNOCENT! This article does not appear to be based on any facts; MJ is too humble to demand anything of this sort. I think it is more likely that he just got too nervous to do it since he hasn't performed live for a long time.

7:37PM 02/18/08 metalman

Nora: He was never convicted of being a child molester despite draconian measures to 'prove' his gult, although it was proven substantially he was the victim of an extortion plot by a family with a HISTORY of fraud--the Arvizo family, that is. Also, it is well known that the guy who was paid off during in 1994 REFUSED to testify in court against MJ during the 2004-5 trial. From a legal standpoint, this refusal on his behalf to buttress the Arvizo boy's claims signaled that he (the first guy) could (and would probably) be revealed in court for the lying sack of shit he was for extoring MJ back in the early 1990's.

7:35PM 02/18/08 jay bone

oh come on michael jackoff...your a prima donna lol you killed all your cred years ago so just stay home with your kiddie porn michael faggson.........

7:28PM 02/18/08 Atreyu

Looks like Michael Jackson is once again being ultra-reclusive, or at least, ultra-silent. This total mystery and mystique about his musical plans only makes the excitement grow amongst the public at large. This was the same formula which worked for him back in the 1980's decade. I'm pretty sure he's aware of this strategy, and he may very well once again go Super Nova on everyone's ass--skeptics, critics, and fans alike!!!

7:26PM 02/18/08 chris

nora hes not a fuckin molester. i could walk up to damn kanye wests house then say some bullshit like he molested my little cousin or something, take it court just like they done with mike. it dont mean kanyes a molester. but it sure does cast doubt over his credibility. just like whats happened to mike which has clearly clouded ure judgement. there is no proof. theyre just allegations, false allegations. fucks sake. stop adding fuel to the fire and shut up.

7:23PM 02/18/08 Nora

I take nothing from him as far as an entertainer. He is one of the greatest but he's also a child molester too. You can't talk about one without the other.

7:20PM 02/18/08 Nora

Metalman but they don't imitate sleeping with little boys.

7:14PM 02/18/08 Johnie

The only reason I watched the grammies was because f the rumours that MJ might show up. They should have done something for him, the show could have used some entertainment.

7:09PM 02/18/08 chris

you dumb fucks mike fuckin originally takes this kid who accussed him of molestation in 2004 into his home, CUREs HIM OF CANCER (dude was dying, mike paid for all his shit, his family etc. everything) then when mike stops paying for everything because the kid is better the Mom gets pissed so she tries to get as much off him as possible by making up this shit. the fuckin kid was the one who originally asked to see MJ as his dying wish, mike didnt invite him there, he accepeted the dying kids request. yall dumb fuckin haters fall back. Mike has spent millions on healing sick children and donated millions to charity. he didnt have a childhood so go figure. at one of his concerts a bug was on stage he stopped the show and insisted it not be killed and removed carefully. if he isnt gonna hurt a bug hes not gonna be fucking hurting little kikds you ignorant fucks. they never slept in the same bed. mikes bedroom is 2 storeys, bigger than most yall houses. they have like a sleep over in there, watch cartoons BEING KIDS! this guys fuckin rep is so tarnished by yall bullshit.

7:09PM 02/18/08 metalman

Nora: Isn't it funny how today's mediocre MJ-wannabes, conspire with their corporations to make their bread and butter by constantly imitating this "perv's" singing and dancing styles?

6:30PM 02/18/08 cheiresun

don't believe it, it's just a fabrication!! those are totally NOT TRUE!!!

6:02PM 02/18/08 joey

HELP MICHAEL REACH #1! We're thrilled that it looks like "Thriller 25" is very close to being the #1 album in the country next week. We need your help to make sure it happens. If you haven't already bought this album, be sure to do so before Sunday. If you've already bought your copy, now would be a great time to buy one for a friend or loved one. You can buy it at all major music stores

5:13PM 02/18/08 Nora

He is a moonwalking perv.

4:11PM 02/18/08 MJ

this article is crap michael is one of the most humble artists around. he always thatns his fans and respects other artits

4:10PM 02/18/08 MJ

if he was a pedophile why would he admit to sleeping in the same bed as children he was aquitted on 10 felony and 4 misdemeanor counts, if he had molested gavin arvizo there would have been atleast one guilty charge out of 14

3:53PM 02/18/08 metalman

Justing Timberlake is the 'king of poop'!!!!! That is too funny!!! But it's true! And now that it's come to my attention, it is true that he does look like a skinhead!! He is nothing but a corporate manufactured mediocrity of smoke and mirrors whose primary demographic target are girls between 11-17...The music stats on his 'albums' are no doubt invented in attempts to get kids to increase company profits!! there is only one 'King of Pop and Dance' and that is the incomparable Michael Jackson!

3:48PM 02/18/08 Anonymous

Yeah, the latest 'label' rapidly spreading on the Internet about Mr. 'Skin-head' is that JT is the 'KING OF POOP!' ....hahaha

3:45PM 02/18/08 Atreyu

It is no secret that the largely Jewish-owned media (especially television) has a wicked vendetta against Michael Jackson on account of his criticism of what he sees as the jewish parasitism which manufactures phony 'pop super stars' like Timberfake and his clones/clowns (e.g Brown, Usher, etc.). Anyone with a modicum of brains can easily 'reverse engineer' the jewish collusion of media-elites which are rejoicing in keep MJ down, and who secretly sponsor his scandalous degradation through the use of manufactured lies. It is not by accident, for example that the corporate manufactured skin-head looking MJ-parasite known as justin timberfake was proclaimed the new so-called king of pop by a 'magazine' run by jews. The media power-jews are also pissed of with Michael Jackson simply because he was living and associating with the Arab muslims in Bahrain. It is well known that the 'king of pop' label was imposed upon MJ by the media by a 'happy' contrivance of words by someone else (probably Liz Taylor) and is not a label he invented for himself, nor one which he cares about in the least bit. This prodigal talent, genius, and humanitarian generosity are simply TOO MUCH in grandiosity to contain in such a feeble phrase as the 'king of pop'...

2:49PM 02/18/08 the last superstar of our times

He's the last superstar of our times.

2:46PM 02/18/08 stupid replies...

So many stupid replies..., all of you who call him a pedophile have read nothing but trashy tabloids. Read the court documents... before you judge.

1:50PM 02/18/08 loo loo

wow, i'm really shocked at the outpouring of support for Michael here. did anyone ever stop to think that he might have been the king of pop AND a child molester? instead of just one or the other? believe he's a pedofile all the way, and question the fact that he's got sole custody of all 3 of his kids, (1 of whom has a different mother from the other two). i find it very odd that both mothers signed over all paternal rights to this guy... seems to me that he found the perfect surrogates for his little "family", i wonder how big those paydays were for the moms to sign off on all rights to their children. sick sick shit. yeah, yeah, yeah, he made wonderful music, i love his songs... but he's sick. you can't deny that. anyone who's seen that video inside neverland ranch and how he lives will agree. and come on... his pre-occupation w/ little boys? he's even admitted to liking them, and wanting them to sleep in his bed!!! WTF is that?!? no grown man should be having feelings like that. not if they are mentally stable.

11:52AM 02/18/08 stop

For those calling MJ a child molester, you WANT HIM TO BE to justify your stupid hatred. ALL OF YOU know good and well he did not harm any kids. So stop the foolishness.

11:51AM 02/18/08 oh boy

This report IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE. This is just tabloid reports trying to start controvery. MJ doesn't even care about the "King of Pop" title. Elizabeth Taylor is the one who started calling him that. Stop the mess!

11:39AM 02/18/08 josh

all of you defending this child molester are nuts. you don't pay $25 million to hush someone up if you didn't do shit. he's an unconvicted moonwalking child molester.

11:29AM 02/18/08 Solvig

You can't believe everything you read in the papers and even if it was true, i don't believe the Grammy's would have a problem with the demands. At the end of the day Michael Jackson is a true living legend and no matter where he goes or what he does he creates the kind of excitment like no other and where there's Michael Jackson there is money. So am sure that the TV stations and the the Grammy's are all happy to make more money. By the way, if michael was really a pedophile, those people would be asking for his head and not his money! LONG LIVE THE KING!

11:27AM 02/18/08 Solvig

11:25AM 02/18/08 Chris

if he's a fuckin paedophile then he'd be in jail u dumb fucks the nigga was innocent. and hes a living legend in case u hadnt noticed. he invented music. all y'all haters fall back. MJ's coming back whether the grammys give him an award - wait and see.

10:43AM 02/18/08 SUNLIGHT

Michael jackson is alegend ...although i don't believe this shit i think that he deserves an honor he rewote the history with his art ..i don't imagin the world without mj's music and dance it was going to be very dull .

10:24AM 02/18/08 admin

MICHAEL JACKSON is A LEGEND..... All the R & B singers, aswell as Pop and Rock.... Follow Michael Jackson, There will never be another Michael Jackson.. EVER.... Give the Genesis what hw want!!!

9:36AM 02/18/08 Johnny

Mike you're the one who is a STUPID ASS. They are plenty of UNCONVICTED PEDOPHILES running around. Michael just got off that's all. Like OJ, Michael Blake, Spector. No doubt he sold millions. So what if he can sing and dance. Sleeping with boys is also another of his hobbies.

9:22AM 02/18/08 mike

First of all, Michael jackson is NOT asking Those demands... it's only fabricated.... Sources mentionning this stupid news are certainly NOT liable. Second of all, for all of you morrons, he is NOT a pedophile... A pedophile would have been convicted. Some of you can be soooo damn stupid.... Some of you have nothing else to do but act like super duper morrons born in a land of stupidity..... Some of you are truly fucking retarded. Michael jackson is a great person and singer and made a difference in this world. Some stupid fuck like some of you who put stupid comments did NOTHING that will be remembered like he did. Try to do what he did, will see who's intelligent.

9:10AM 02/18/08 Jessica

yo celebaddict learn how to spell. F--- you by the way. If pedophiles don't deserve to be honored. Idiots don't deserve to speak. Do the research and you'll think michael is innocent.

9:06AM 02/18/08 Jessica

Of course they should have done that for him. Half the flipping music world owes him their influence. For God sake his personal image has been mutilated of course he wants a heightened career image. He wants his personal life to fade under the attention of his career.

8:33AM 02/18/08 Ian

Yeah, because everything in the Post must be taken as god's honest truth. The newspaper costs 25¢! Sounds like cold feet to me. Michael Jackson should have performed, and there was easily room to honor "Thriller" - I for one would have loved to see the weird Alica Keys/Sinatra duet and the will.i.am (c)rap cut out in order to let Jackson perform say, "Billie Jean." I'll bet the Grammy producers wish he'd shown up too, considering the low ratings.

8:24AM 02/18/08 Jason

He's just mad because they wouldn't make an award honoring him molesting boys. Joey, he's not a living legend, he's a legendary pedophile. Wake up, kid!

8:20AM 02/18/08 Bob Randell

I find it incredible that people STILL continue to believe in shit like this. Wake up wankers. The tabloids are stealing your money...

8:19AM 02/18/08 celebaddict

I used to like Mr Jackson, he is a fantastic showman. But he is also a nonce, and paedophiles do not deserve to be given any publicity.

8:18AM 02/18/08 joey

for one this article is totally false with nothing to back it up like usual there news bashing mj for no reason but to be on the tabloid band wagon pathetic get a life hes a living legend you should be lifting him up not trying to bring him down....

8:08AM 02/18/08 Josh

pedophiles don't deserved to be honored.

7:42AM 02/18/08 chantel

i used to love you very much until you decided to turn yourself into a scarcrow.but anyway they should have honored him.

7:23AM 02/18/08 Tasha

Sorry Mike you're not on top like that anymore to make such demands. But I love the wig.
