You’ll never hear us accuse Angelenos of being the smartest folks on the planet. (They do normally beat out America’s dumbest town, Ft. Wayne, Indiana). But when news broke of Michael’s death yesterday, folks began assembling around Michael Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But they had the wrong Michael Jackson.
That would be the star for former KABC radio, Michael Jackson, who is still very much alive.
“Feeling suddenly much more relevant”.
It turns out that the MJ star they were meaning to stalk was all covered by scaffolding, preparing for the Bruno premiere at the Chinese Theater. That makes the second time this month that Bruno has effectively teabagged the party.
Fans will get to visit the real star today, when the area re-opens. We can’t even comprehend the number of really bad Michael Jackson impersonators there will be in front of Grauman’s today.
“Not fooling anyone any more today than he was yesterday”
One lady who showed up at the wrong star on Thursday said “There’s never going to be another Michael Jackson.”
Actually, according to howmanyofme.com’s statistical analysis, there are 12,557 people in the U.S. named Michael Jackson. That includes the old white guy whose star you were mourning at on Thursday.
Here’s hoping they get it right today.
