The Jackson Circus Kicks Off.

[Shawn]

There was probably more buzz about Michael Jackson's arraignment on the streets of Toronto yesterday than here in the heart of Tinsel Town.

All his fans were evidently bussed up to Santa Maria.

Minutes after Jackson entered a plea of not guilty to child molestation charges about 215 km up the coast, not one fan was standing by his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

No vigils. No flowers. No buzz. Nobody.

No matter, it was a huge deal on TV -- as people around the world were glued to their sets watching the latest Wacko Jacko car crash.

If anyone has ever known how to make a spectacle out of himself, it's this clown-faced baby-dangler.

There he was, with his arm that was "severely injured" a few weeks ago by cops now magically healed, pulling himself up onto the roof of the SUV that he and his family were travelling in. He danced and pranced to the crowd.

Bet the judge -- already pissed that Jackson had arrived 21 minutes late -- loved that one, and all the other mayhem that took place outside his courthouse yesterday.

The prevailing buzz in and around L.A. is that this time Jackson will be found guilty. Whether or not that'll be the case, just about everybody has an opinion.

Read the entire artocle at Jam!

All that fan hoopla won't mean spit in a court of law. And Jackson already started off on the wrong foot by being late. Actually, the hoopla may work against him. If fans congregate near the courthouse, it may be more difficult for Jackson to make his appearances on time. And, if he's late again and uses "fans" as an excuse, I suspect the judge will find a solution ... like revoking his bail and keeping him in a nearby jailhouse.
