Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch is set be sold at auction on March 19.

Jackson received word Monday from Financial Title Company, the trustee, that unless he pays off $24,525,906.61 by that date, a public auction will go forward in Santa Barbara, Calif., in front of the county courthouse.

It's not just the house either. When Neverland is auctioned, it will include everything: all personal property inside, all fixtures and appliances, furniture, and "all merry go round type devices," any rides, games. The auction literally includes every single thing that is or isn't nailed down.

Bubbles is in the aluminum siding business.

The thing that most impresses me about Bubbles is that unlike others he maintained his silence all throughout Michael's ordeals.

Back in the day, who would/could have thought it would all come to this?

A spectacular fall from grace, to say the least...

Bubbles was the voice of sanity.

What a shame. I for one am very sorry to see his downfall. What a witch hunt.

Witch hunt? How about all the lousy music? How about standing around screaming and grabbing your crotch? What about that? What about becoming a white woman? It just didn't sell, and he lived beyond his means for about a decade. It had nothing to do with a witch hunt. The guy became a freak, right before the record-buying public's eyes. They just got sick of it all.

I used to work at a small-town office that held estate auctions in the summer, and I had to type up Every. Single. Item. that was for sale. Pillowcases, spoon collection, wooden paper towel holder, everything. I pity the poor temp. who has to type THIS mutha up.

Perhaps now we will find out what happened to Webster. Locked in some secret room, no doubt.

[Mrs Mangel]

Yeah- locked in a room with these ladies...

[jeniferrenepatricia]

Actually, those two ladies are his stepsisters. They are the offspring of Alex Karras and Susan Clark...ha ha ha

The sad truth about Bubbles is that there have been many, many "Bubbles". He buys a chimp and once they become too big and powerful , around the age of two or three, he sells them to roadside circusses (where they are mistreated and abused) and gets another one, pretending it's the same. The original "Bubbles" has been rescued and is in a chimp and ape sanctuary in Florida.

This is just another example of what a disgusting excuse for a human being Michael Jackson is.

I forgot to mention that the sanctuary has been threatened with a law suit from Michael Jackson if they ever put in print that they have his original pet.

Nice isn't he? Updated On: 2/27/08 at 08:16 AM

Is the kiddie porn collection going to be auctioned off in one lot? I'm not asking for myself, mind you.

Replace the word "chimp" with child and it's also a true statement!

It might be funny but when you think about it, it's also really depressing. This man should be locked up and never let out in public again.

Being serious for a moment, I just don't get California justice.

Is it at all possible to convict a celebrity of any serious crime and put them behind bars for any real length of time?

OJ, Robert Blake, Wacko Jacko, Paris, Nicole, Michelle Rodriguez...the list goes on and on.
