That Looks Oddly Familiar

fef.jpg

We're trying to decide whether Gerard Butler is trying to be funny, trying to be funny while being drunk, or drunk and stupid!

While in London on Wednesday afternoon, Gerard decided to recreate an iconic image from Michael Jackson's past. This time, however, Gerard spared some poor kid years of therapy and simply dangled a small plant wrapped in a towel for the paparazzi.

Whether he took a puff of that plant beforehand we still don't know.

      This twit has such an ego. WHO does he think he is ….. ? If he isn't going on about his 'threesomes', then he is acting like a 1st-Class A-Hole. Really, take a break, fame-whore. Go bugger off with Lindsay.

      OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED…………..

      OK. That's kinda funny!



    5. 5

      This disgusts me. Michael made a mistake, but he was an incredible father. Gerard is a dick.

      Brits really have a weird sense of humour

      Ahh so Michael Jackson gets a pass on being a bad parent and menace tot hem and a comedian gets the vilification and accusations from you, your bias is huge and as ridiculous as they come.



    13. 13

      I think he's funny!



    14. 14

      Not funny Gerard.



    15. 15

      I'd love to see a Sparta kick hit Mario's breadbasket…although it's more of a bakery isn't it???



    16. 16

      That's a tasteless 'joke'.

      Didn't he just have some sort of mid life crisis where he re evaluated his life and said he was thinking about having kids? Not a very good start!



    18. 18

      is the new thing perez, you figure everybody is on some sort of drug. hope it works out as well as your outing of people from a few years ago



    19. 19

      I think is very funny

      Butller is desperately seeking for attention after his movie (don't even know the title! ) was flopped! it was shown alongside with "THIS IS IT"!



    21. 21

      ATTENTION SEEKER TO THE MAX.



    22. 22

      Re: ashwinterx – I don't think that's a mistake i'd want my dad to make.



    23. 23

      Heh, if he was lampooning anyone else, I'm sure the responses would be different.



    24. 24

      Hahahaha! Love that crazy look on his face!



    25. 25

      Grow up Gerard, NOT FUNNY!!! Wasn't funny the first time, and is pathetic now.



    26. 26

      fugly Buttler is an idiot. PERIOD.



    27. 27

      he's just being funny..lighten up!!



    28. 28

      hehehehe that's priceless :P



    29. 29

      drop that baby,,



    30. 30

      I think it is very funny, Michael was a fool and a weirdo, and should be made fun of.



    31. 31

      FUNNY! I love the look on his face! Ha!



    32. 32

      Last time I checked, Michael didn't grab his child by the HEAD and his kid didn't need therapy for being dangled out a window for .02 seconds, he needed it because his father was murdered.



    33. 33

      douche. your not funny! your such a flop.



    34. 34

      IT'S FUNNY!!! I HATE YOU, YOU MICHAEL FAN FREAKS!!! NOT FUNNY WHY BECAUSE IT SHOW"S WHAT A DUMBA** MICHAEL WAS!!!



    35. 35

      he was a good father. that made a mistake. people make mistakes. it was one second. move on gerald. if he was sooo bad then why does his kids miss him so much. he taiught them well. even teaching them to help others in need like that 3 legged dog they helped. idiot



    36. 36

      um it's not an "iconic" image you dolt. i doubt highly michael jackson wanted to be remembered for that picture. i would go with the word "infamous" instead.



    37. 37

      0.2 seconds or seconds?? That's an argument for him being not a bad father? Seriously?! HAHA!!



    38. 38

      That is TOO FUNNY! Michael Jackson was wacko. How many years before his kids come out with books about how they were abused?



    39. 39

      hahhah. i thought it was funny.



    40. 40

      OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED



    41. 41

      I can think of something else I'd like to see him dangle over that balcony.



    42. 42

      FUNNY



    43. 43

      i think its funny. people defending jackson, he wasn't the greatest man to live, but for some reason he's been glorified in death :p



    44. 44

      hahhahahahah i love gerard



    45. 45

      Who is he again?? Michael was an excellent father.
      R.I.P Michael

      46

      Oh, come on. Good sense of humor. This is spur of the moment stupid funny. :P



    47. 47

      Omg this is hilarious! lolol



    48. 48

      LOL! That's fucking rad



    49. 49

      Gerard WHO? Seriously, this dude cant handle all the love and attention MJ getting, so he does this? Ha! For all ppl out there doubting MJs parentingskills,.. every person that come across MJs way have said he was an amazing dad. This whole incident was blown out. MJ hold Blanket very tight under his arm for like 2 seconds. He got caught up in the moment-there were fans under the balcony screamin. I dont see any different of those parents that are throwing their kids in the air and then catches them. But I guess if MJ had done that aswell.. people would have made a deal out of it.



    50. 50

      lmfao!



    51. 51

      Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – "lmfao!"
      Yeah that's what we all do with each new ignorant post that you make..



    52. 52

      Oh my fucking god! if it was any other celebrity who showed their baby to their fans, no one would say shit! He was holding the baby with two hands, as you can see in the picture, and just showing his baby to his fans! I understand that it may not be safe, but Michael was holding tightly, never would he drop the child, he loved his kids so much.



    53. 53

      YOU GUYS ARE SUCH HYPOCRITES! IF MJ WEREN'T DEAD YOU WOULDN'T SAY HE WAS A "GREAT FATHER" OR HAVE HIM AS YOUR PEREZHILTON ACCOUNT ICON



    54. 54

      Hilarious!

    55. k-lee says – reply to this


      55

      LMAO he's crazy!!! He's just being funny, Perez! Can't a guy be funny without being accused of drunkenness?



    56. 56

      Re: bitchtitsaurus – "YOU GUYS ARE SUCH HYPOCRITES! IF MJ WEREN'T DEAD YOU WOULDN'T SAY HE WAS A "GREAT FATHER" OR HAVE HIM AS YOUR PEREZHILTON ACCOUNT ICON"

      I shall reply to this because I happen to be one of the ones as Michael as my avatar and I have said many times that Michael was indeed a good father. If you go back and look at the MJ post pre June 25th (if you feel like going back that far because Perez has posted about Michael non-stop) you will see that I have always had Michael as my avatar and have always spoke highly and truthful of Michael. Others on here have done the same so go check for yourself.



    57. 57

      Gerard is just a bit insane. Don't take it personally.
      ***
      Some here are reacting more strongly to the plant being dangled than the kid. Very strange.

      58

      Michael was a real psycho,, people that is the reality!! any sane person would have not done this act!



    59. 59

      I'm ambivalent about all of this. This particular joke has been done to death. I found it neither funny NOR offensive. This joke is like furniture in a furnished apartment; it will always be there. Moving on.



    60. 60

      Now That's Funny!!!!



    61. 61

      to funny!



    62. 62

      Wasn't funny the first time. Sure ain't funny the second.
      It's been done before - nice try Gerard, I'm not seeing your movie.



    63. 63

      Re: just say FUKK – Isnt he scottish? =/



    64. 64

      I think if Michael Jackson raped a boy live on tape and then beheaded him his fans would come to his defense and call it a "conspiracy"

      Maybe a man whore, but a good looking man whore he is. Funny photo!

      66

      All you Jacko nuts need to get a grip. The guy was a junkie paedophile, (note the correct spelling all you Americans!) Even Jackson's biggest fans couldn't defend his idiotic behaviour when he dangled that poor child from a balcony!!

      Re: helen2009
      Scotland is in Britain you ignorant twat!!



    68. 68

      Oh, Gerry,Gerry, Gerry……kind of funny..kind of mean…..I'd still let Gerry eat crackers in my bed. Anytime….



    69. 69

      Perez i love you and everything but im sure michael wouldnt want to be remembered this way. The guy is dead i think everyone should lay off him and respect his memory & I think Gerard is just bored



    70. 70

      Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – Speaking of "Conspiracy" have you cracked open that book that I have been suggesting for months that you read? Once again it's called "Michael Jackson Conspiracy" by Aprodite Jones
      Perhaps someone will give it to you as a stocking stuffer this upcoming holiday season…



    71. 71

      Re: Yumma – You and tick tock tick tock should get together and have a Michael Jackson facts researching party. And FYI Michael was not dangling his child, he held Blanket up for fans to see as they were shouting up to Michael asking to see his baby. Michael brought his child out, holding him tightly for a second (though the media made it look like eternity) and then went back in. Like someone else on here mentioned, had it been any other person doing the same thing Michael did, it wouldn't have even been a big deal.



    72. 72

      Gerard is just so gorgeous and a really lovely guy to boot!!!!



    73. 73

      Haha thats some funny shit. So its ok for michael Jackson to put his sons life in danger but not for someone whos not even a father to dangle a DOLL out the window???? Yeah that makes sense. And he's scottish btw.



    74. 74

      lol he always comes across as really funny!



    75. 75

      LOL everyone loves a man with a good sense of humour.. oh looks help too :)



    76. 76

      i love MJ, but i had to laugh about this one too!



    77. 77

      this is stupid! And NOT funny! show some respect!
