Michael Jackson's Crazy Moments

Frankly, it would be easier to list the crazy things he hasn't done

Case History: Remember those innocent years when Jackson was merely so mental that he lived in an amusement park with llamas, chimps and the Elephant Man's skeleton? The craziest thing is that the most ridiculous rumors turned out to be true — he didn't see anything wrong with pan-generational slumber parties; he didn't have a nose left, let alone money. What spectacular madness turns $750 million in assets to $180 million in debt, apart from, uh, trying to open an amusement park in Poland? For his lifetime of lunacy, Wacko Jacko is the undisputed skin-whitening, baby-dangling, statue-building, crotch-grabbing, kiddie-cuddling King of Pop.
Craziest Moment: He claims he fathered Aryan babies, and then named them Prince I and Prince II. He's outdone himself again!
He's So Crazy: Children and men sleeping together? "What the world needs right now is more love."
