LOS ANGELES (Jan. 8) -- When you're the King of Pop, there's no such thing as a recession, and a $100,000 a month lease on a house is completely reasonable.
Michael Jackson has signed a yearlong lease on a mansion in the swanky Bel Air area of the city, a spokesman for the singer said Wednesday.

Jackson has been staying in the estate for about a month, said spokesman Tohme Tohme, who called the property "a little bit more than an average home."
The lease agreement is for $100,000 a month. The home has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and 12 fireplaces.
Jackson, 50, relocated to the city with his three children to be closer to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, said Tohme, promising that "the second half (of his career) will be better than the first."

Rock on Michael... America has always loved you and is waiting for a whole new series of CD's from you.. Everyone knows 99% of the negative press is BS but, some suckers swallow it hook, line and sinker. With all the press about you, both positive and negative, your populatity is stronger now then it has ever been. You still have the magic and capture the headlines. You are more popular now then you have ever been... Keep the faith and keep the fires burning...

THe comment that the second half of his career being better than the first... The poor man/woman is delusional. I LOVED his music... before all the surgery.. before all the pedophile crap..... Sorry Michael.... I wouldnt bank on much support from the American public on the second half of that career...

Even though i have always like michael jacksons music to a certain degree i am now reading that he just leased a $100 K per month mansion. With all the legal troubles and money problems that he is having lately, how in the world can he afford to pay for such a home. he is getting sued by someone in the middle east, he lost neverland because he didnt pay on it and now he goes out and gets such a huge home that costs totally way out of his money league......where is the logic to all this????? just dont get it. i wish him truly well but i just dont understand how he can afford it. can someone please explain if you have the right answers.

I have always wondered what Michael would look like now..had he not done so much surgery...and if he regrets it. I think he does..and I bet he wonders what he would look like also. Still...we shouldnt judge people on their looks..we never know when something could happen to change our looks..accidents and sickness can. Just feel blessed that you are who you are..and in others, look for the beauty within. Once you see that, no matter what another person looks like, they are beautiful in your eyes.The zorro mask looks pretty cool, and would make a good character identity for his look and style!

with the responsibility of three childres futures, NOTHING justfies 100/mo. but then again i am at this site for what reason? shamen on me. i turn the music off so fast, everytime a random snippet comes up re this humanwaste. even to the point i drop client/customers from my 6 figure job who MAY listen to this waste. it is lower socio economic types that look for hand outs and the white man owes them types. I try occasionally to assist those type and their ignorance dispite the fact are overwelming..so consider...you give cash handouts and they turn to purchase a mj recording...<vomiting.
