No Rock And Roll Fun

WE MUST SEE: Reporters are agitating to be allowed to look at the questionnaires filled out by the potential jurors in the Jackson trial, citing that "a prurient interest" and "that otherwise, we're starting to run out of stuff to write about" ("really vital to serve as a check on the process.")

Meanwhile, if Michael's mother had been on the potential shortlist, she'd have ruled herself out by her announcement that she's 100% certain that Jacko is innocent. Katherine Jackson has been talking to Fox News (the Murdoch company is clearly positioning itself for 'first exclusive interview if Jacko is acquitted)
"I believe that for one reason - I know his character," she said. "He loves children. You don't molest anything that you love."

Um... actually, isn't that precisely what you do do with something you love? Kiss it, and hug it, and call it Dave?

Describing Mr Jackson as "a good person", the mother-of-nine said she feared he would not be given a fair trial. "I can't sleep thinking about what these wicked people might try to do to him," she said.

So she seems to have already had him convicted and up on D-Wing, then.

We're surprised that she didn't try a more honest tack: "Michael never played with small children when he was a small child, so why would he start now?"
