Ever wonder how many tribute sites there are out there to Michael Jackson? Me neither. If we’re voting, Eternal Moonwalk get’s mine. It is clever.

The site will likely cause into question; Did MJ invent the Moonwalk? Check out the last few seconds of this vintage 1955 video of the late great Bill Bailey, and decide for yourself.

…or, where I won’t be tomorrow…

MJ & The Jackson Five…Boogie

This is…It, finally!

Mama’s better grab their babies and run like the wind! Well, in the UK, anyhow – maybe.

Is this great or what? The ‘glove’ were off today for the 50 year old pedophile looking no worse with a nose and still known as Michael Jackson, as he announced his final tour from the foyer of the former Millennium Dome in London. “This is It,” advised Michael to his fan(s) gathered for the brief presslet announcement thing.

When the loquatious one says, “This is It,” what he means is that this is the ‘nom de theme’ of this farewell tour ostensibly scheduled to kick-off in July in London.

I’m willing to bet this big tent party never happens. Firstly, based on the lack of attendance seen today, people are really over with MJ. He’s old and just, old. Secondly, he’s broke, and I mean broke like General Motors broke. He is no more going back to work for the sake of paying off creditors than OJ Simpson is going to get his Heisman back. Thirdly, it’s the economy. Somebody said the most expensive tickets would be about £75, which is not all that bad today, but will likely feed all the Octo-mom’s kids for a month, come July. Who knows what, if any, currency will be de rigueur by this summer – Yuan’s, anybody?

Seriously, ‘rots-o-ruck’ with this one to the Jacko propsters. This is going to be as thrillering as the big Beverly Hills Neverland yard sale coming up in April.

THE OFFICIAL MJ COUNTDOWN WIDGET, I KNOW!

Both the right and left of Michael Jackson's Triumph-era socks with uppers covered in rhinestone banding. They date back to his 1981 Triumph tour with the Jacksons. Catalog guide price $600-$800. (Machine wash separate, spin low)

Everybody wants to know how we are going to know when the recession is over? Well, I know, and I’ll tell you. When somebody steps forward and pays the suggested “catalog” price of $800.00 for a pair of Thorlo’s, that’s when. Of course, these aren’t just anybody’s tube socks, no, – these supposedly once belonged to the king of socks his self; Michaell Jackson. Meh.

A bunch of stuff billed as “treasures” from Michael Jackson’s once Neverland Ranch ranging from these socks to the, by now, rusted entry gates to the property will be up for sale in April at an auction conducted by Julien’s Auctions on the vacant lot beside the Beverly Hilton in LA.

It’s only fitting that the auction site is the ill-famed 9900 Wilshire Boulevard, where the billionaire British builder brother’s Candy had planned to erect a gazillion pound sterling condo-hotel-mall thing until their partner; Kaupthing Bank in Iceland bought the farm too. Lead creditor Credit Suisse had enough of the real estate soiree and filed foreclosure papers on the bunch a month or so ago. Maybe they’ll get a glove, or a monkey or something out of the new “highest and best use” for this property.

Anyhow, this “auction-a-looza” is scheduled for four thriller packed days starting on April 22, and you can cop special room rates, packages, and VIP private bidding suites at the next door Beverly Hilton. If you are simply too exhausted from being at The Masters in Augusta and can’t make this can’t miss happening, you can still participate via proxy starting February 15 over at Darren Julien’s site noted above. While you’re there, ask Darren who paidhim $60,800 for Bill Clinton’s saxophone, cause, I really wanna know.Copies of the auction brochure are available for $100.00, or $500.00, if you need one signed by Michael.

Neverland Ranch, of course, is “nevermore,” as of last November, following a series of refinancing the toxic loans, having 50-year-old Michael transferring ownership to the Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC. The company is a joint venture between Michael – represented by attorney L. Londell McMillan – and an affiliate of billionaire (sez he) Thomas Barrack’s investment company, Colony Capital LLC. According to sister LaToya, Michael Jackson, having no desire, has not been back to Neverland since his acquittal for child molestation in 2005.
