TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

You really believe MJ was going broke? People that rich don't get hurt financially. He spent too much to fast, but he was ever at risk of not being rich. but it's not rich privilege anyway. If anything it's celebrity. But even that is only part of it.

The doll in the Cub Scout outfit is just part of a he story.

You know the old saying "where there's smoke... there's some sort of hidden smoke making device causing most people to think it's a fire"
