I know what you must be thinking. “How can this be?!?” Well, don’t look to me for answers. I’m just the messenger, here. And I’m just as shocked as you people.

All I know is I received an email from someone who shall remain nameless. Let’s just say I know her very well. In fact, I’ve known her all my life. Heck, you could even call her a family member. But that’s neither here nor there. Suffice to say, she is a very reliable source.

On seeing the photos, my 8-year-old about dropped his teeth. “That’s impossible. Those couldn’t have been taken on this Fourth of July,”  he said. “Michael Jackson is dead!”

Is he?

Let’s just say my son called the “source” for more details. The source described the scene thusly: The crowd initially went silent at the sight of His Highness, Michael Jackson, taking the stage. Then they listened, screamed in delight, and, yes, even shed King-of-Pop-appropriate tears as countless fans the world over are prone to do on seeing a star, right there before their very eyes. But it gets better… His former father-in-law, the King – that’s right – Elvis the Pelvis – was there, too.

So without further ado, I submit to you the following evidence, and advise you that what you are about to see will really Rock your Bobin:

With that evidence, and remembering a picture is worth a thousand words – even you skeptics must admit this a real Thriller! As for whether or not this is the real Michael Jackson? Well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide. And I’ll also leave you with a song, just because I can. And of course, because he’s bad (bad, bad… really, really bad).

While I found the list a bit predictable, and think with a little ingenuity the magazine could have done much better with this category, here are a couple that are worth a second look.

Remember the April earthquake in Italy that killed 300 people while thousands more were left homeless? Well, here’s what Italy’s Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, had to say:

“They should see it like a weekend of camping.” Talk about your words of comfort. Just guessing, but I have a feeling he was not among the newly homeless, don’t you?

Then there were Michael Jackson‘s words on his upcoming concert tour: “‘This is it’ really means this is it.” As we now know, truer words were never spoken…

While this one didn’t make the magazine’s cut, the words of Kate Moss certainly caused quite a stir when she declared one of her mottos to be “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

Some declared that her words would affect young girls, who might be at risk of becoming bulimic or anorexic in an effort to become more like Ms. Moss and weigh in at a skin-and-bones size 0.

All I can say is if she is that much of a role model and her words will truly impact that many people, the general public needs to pick their role models much more wisely.

That’s all for today – tune in tomorrow to see what Top 10 list Kate will be ripping apart!
