Guess Who's Headin' On Down To South Park?
What's The Opposite Of A Cougar?
He probably charged that junk and never paid for it!
"Tacky" is the thing's that you and your writers do and say about others. If I could afford it I would love to have atleast one of these or any other pieces. Don't judge other people's taste, especially when you yourself probably can't even afford it. You wouldn't be calling it "Tacky" if Ms. Gaga owned these same pieces ( No dig at Gaga BTW.) Michael loved antiques, one of kind pieces and things that expressed beautiful art. That's not Tacky, that's just being cultured and artsy, Perez.
is the little kids massage table included?
It's "Gaudi" not "Gaudy" - Gaudi was a Spanish artist from Barcelona who was very eccentric and the people did not like his style at first, that is where the expression "Gaudi" comes from. Learn your spelling and history!
Re: kissmyassobama – Even if he had done so you wouldn't get stuck with the bill so why are you worried about it???…
Michael did not handle his own finances. He paid other people to do that. That's what alot of rich people do and like Michael alot of rich people get taken advantage of by those they hired. Michael didn't balance his own check book and I'm sure he didn't open bills and pay them monthly like other's (myself included) do. The bill was in his name but it was someone else's job to pay it with his money.
With all the $$$$$$$$$$$$ MJ's estate stills owes “““` why not sell off the stuff so that the kiddies will have enough for a good college education!! In the “ real world “ that we live in “` NOT ““ MJ's “ fake world.
Re: 6one9 –
LOL am sure they have money for college. He's the King of Pop he will be making money for years to come please they are by no means poor lol.
I want ET!
i would love the velvet red chair
Dude he has ET! DAMN, I WANT THAT! LOL!
MJ things aren't tacky, just artistic, ok? MJ is a king and he do as he pleases. MJ FOREVER!!
hahaha I just notice the picture they are all wearing sunglasses like MJ the original artist to sport sunglasses lol. And yeah ET that's so cool.
If I had millions of $$, then I wouldn't be wasting it on any of MJ's shit. I'm also surprised there aren't any Lady Gargoyle posts today. Maybe your loyal followers got fed up with the goddamn overkill. I know I am.

I'm so sick & tired of Lady Gargoyle that I've developed a new appreciation for Avril Lavigne. I actually spent $$ on two of Avril's albums today. I didn't realize before that, in addition to singing, she actually plays guitar, piano, and drums. And if Tim Burton likes Avril, then she must be doing something right. At least she's not a suspected child molester.
Does the cashing in off this guys death ever stop?
There U are on the left side of the picture, Perez! You're right, U are tacky looking! R.I.P. mj
I would settle for a written song or poem from him. But anything will do. Love ET!
they need to sell his shit at garage sale prices….put them out in the curb or something…
ohhhh i want that big picture with all those famous people wearing sunglasses! i could so see that just above my TV!!! i'll start the auction off at $86 bucks!!!
My friend recommended me an interesting place #$***rich ki ss C om ****, where wealthy hot singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with. They discuss women, men, dating, life, sports, movies etc.

Jesus Christ. That crazy, narcissistic, pedophile's cheap whore's-like shit should be burned.

I love the picture where they're all wearing sunglasses!! Everything was bigger in Michaels world and though I'm not sure his stuff would fit in with the average american home, anyone would be lucky to own one of his pieces. I would love to own a poem or song he wrote (as in the ACTUAL piece of paper he wrote it on)
Who gets the Elephant Man??? Maybe La Toya already ate him.
I want ET too. Probably the best thing in the collection.
Are they selling MJ's pedophilia collection?
Re: Hate Low Class People – It would be impossible to sell a collection that doesn't exist. But hey, lucky for you the information regarding those extortion plots are easilly obtainable for F-R-E-E.
Re: MJ fan59 – are you really mj hiding on a secret island somewhere living with princess diana?
the lighting in this picture doesn't do it any justice. makes it look eerie, like it should belong in a back room of the playboy mansion piled with dust. i think, individually, put in a nice setting, there is some very worthwhile items here, of extreme value.
Re: bongo – You're an idiot.
Anything MJ had is a treasure. Everyone wanted a piece of MJ and now his pieces are on auction - and that saddens me. He will forever be missed.
I would agree that the Macauley Culkin and Corey Feldman blow-up dolls are a bit gauche.
Can you imagine MJ telling his lackeys, "I want a picture of me wearing my sunglasses and glove… Oh! And make sure I'm surrounded by… say… Mona Lisa, George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Einstein and… uh….E.T.! And have them wearing the same thing."
There's a good lesson here, boys and girls… "You can't BUY happiness." MJ obviously was buying these ridiculous items in hopes that they would make him feel better… like a child would a toy. Either that or he did it just because he could, and if that was the case, then how sad. He was an amazing talent, but his mentality to comprehend how to truly find peace and happiness was obviously clouded by the belief that you achieved that by buying THINGS. He certainly had the mentality of a child. From that way of thinking, in the end, you're still unhappy and your house is full of junk. He should have hung out with the Dalai Lama. Maybe he would have learned a thing or two. But, instead he hung out with kids, so that's how he thought… like a kid. So sad.
Re: perez snaps one off – Lol… NO. Aren't you the comical one. Michael and Diana are together in a Paradise alright but it's no Island.
Re: That Cat – "MJ obviously was buying these ridiculous items in hopes that they would make him feel better"
Did it ever occur to you that Michael purchased items just like this because that's what he liked and wanted?? He did say in the past that the lifesize mannequins he possesed helped him feel less loneliness. The mannequins around him didn't ask for a hand out or deceive him but the real life people around him did. Michael loved art and he expressed the things/people that he looked up to, liked, and studied in his art. I do agree with you about him having the mentality of a child at times. In many cases that is not a bad thing. Michael associated more with children but he was no dummy either. He was also an adult and also acted as such but because of his child(like) qualities, he was able to stay as humble, caring, and also sometimes to a fault too trustworthy of others. Having childlike qualites is what can keep you grounded, especially when you are as big of a star as Michael. However, there is a difference from being childlike and childish. Michael was childlike. "Bongo" "Brainbug" "kissmyassobama" and " Rasputin's Liver" are childish. They sound like the kids on the school yard who taunt other kids for no apparent reason; childish. Give them facts etc. and they're like "Nuh uh, though there's proof I'm right and your Wrong!"…childish.

"Did it ever occur to you that Michael purchased items just like this because that's what he liked and wanted?? He did say in the past that the lifesize mannequins he possesed helped him feel less loneliness."
Yes! That's why I said he was buying them to make himself feel better. When you get right down to it, that's why we buy anything we buy… to make us feel better. But when you get to the point where you are buying outrageously expensive and gaudy things, then you have reached the point where normal things no longer suffice. You have to reach for the bizarre and outlandish items. Things no one else have or can get (or want, for that matter), just to make yourself feel better. That's where it seems MJ was. He "jumped the shark" when it came to purchasing things. In the end he probably didn't even remember buying half the things he bought. He evidently didn't remember to pay for them either.
And I'm sorry… but, "humble" people don't have statues of themselves built, multiple portraits of themselves painted, have thrones made for themselves to sit in or proclaim themselves kings. There are many people just as talented as MJ in their own right that don't behave this way. Just sayin'!
beuatiful stuff!
Re: That Cat – "And I'm sorry… but, "humble" people don't have statues of themselves built, multiple portraits of themselves painted, have thrones made for themselves to sit in or proclaim themselves kings." More then half of those things you mentioned were given to him by fan's and artist. Michael was the epitome of humbleness.That's exactly why he refused to keep any of his awards in his home. He taught his kids about staying humble. He tried to preach that to even his band (that can be heard on the extra footage of This is It.) His humbleness is also what kept him and us fan's so close to him. He liked nice things but he didn't let it go to his head. He was considered to be a King; King of Pop. So why not have things that befit your title? Some people consider themselves to be a "Princess" or "Diva" and they go out and buy a whole bunch of cute stuff expressing that. That doesn't make them any less humble. Other celebs. ( I have seen this so I know) have lifesize pictures of them all in their house, does that make them less humble? I want one of those huge painting's of myself in my living room and I'm a huge slice of humble pie.
Re: That Cat – In my opinion I doubt that him buying art and sculptures was to make him feel better. That was his taste and that is what he liked. I bought 2 shirts and a pair of earrings today not to make myself feel better but simply because I liked the stuff. Who knows, If I had money like Michael I probably would have bought the whole store because I liked just about everything in the place. What Michael bought or was given is no one's business. Fact is that his selflessness is what allowed him to more then likely give more money to charity then he spent on himself anyway.
I'm just glad Tohm did't get his way and get all Michaels personal belongings so he could profot off of them. Bloodsucking leach.
aww why sell MJ's stuff, give it to his family, i don't even think he officially bought these furnitures, they were for london.
'to all of you whom are ignorant. jealous, or simply dont understand pure love' -
NEED TO STOP MAKIN COMMENTS ABOUT MICHAEL, THE WAY YOU DO.. FOR ONE YOU NEVER KNEW HIM- ALL YOU KNOW IS WHAT ANY NEWSCAST IN THE WORLD HAS SAID- SURELY YOU REALIZE HOW IGNORANT THAT IS… IF YOU REALLY DONT CARE FOR HIM OR HIS MUSIC- I DONT UNDERSTAND THEN WHY YOU PEOPLE TAKE SO MUCH EFFORT- TOWARDS SPREADING LIES, OF A PERSON WHOM YOU NEVER /OR WILL EVER KNOW…
I KNOW IN MY SOUL, AND ALWAYS HAVE. THAT MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A GOOD MAN- W A BEAUTIFUL HEART.. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, ANYONE WHO REPRESENTED LOVE, OR TOGETHEENESS- THE REST OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM, DID EVERYTHING TO KILL IT OR STOP THE IDEAS OF CHANGE…….. MICHAEL JACKSON IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE…..
MAYBE YOU PEOPLE SHOULD STOP CONCENTRATING ON MJ, AND LOOKING INTO YOUR OWN SELF/SOULS- HOW MUCH GOOD ARE YOU DOING IN YOUR WORLD? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU DONE SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE, AND THEM NEVER KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM?
SO U PEOPLE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL, FOR THE HATRED IN UR HEARTS, AND I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU….
