Jacko moving to Maryland?

Posted by Jeff Quinton on June 30, 2007

Today’s Sun reports on the rumored house-hunting trip this week to St. Michaels by Michael Jackson. The self-proclaimed King of Pop reportedly spent Thursday night at the Inn at Perry Cabin. The hotel’s general manager refused comment (as if anybody at The Sun actually expected him to talk about it?), but reports were that Jackson was travelling with bodyguards as part of an entourage. He reportedly looked at one house in Queen Anne’s County and two in Talbot County.

Locals assumed a helicopter in the area was paparazzi seeking photographs, but the fact that it stayed some distance away was attributed to a no-fly zone implemented when Vice President Cheney purchase a house there. The article mentions that there also rumors of Julia Roberts looking at property in the area as well as supposed sightings of Eric Clapton’s sailboat. Also mentioned are houses owned by two former presidential press secretaries (which ones?) and a former Secretary of Defense (Rumsfeld?)

The Easton Star Democrat first broke the story (you can’t read the story here unless you subscribe to the newspaper however, since they’re using that flawed model for their website.) WBAL TV reported on the rumors Friday night as well, although there’s no story on their website about it. Video footage (not available on the station site or their Youtube section) on the station (taken from the aforementioned helicopter) showed people holding white sheets up while someone exited the hotel and entered a limousine.

The Daily Dish reports that Jackson is moving out of his Las Vegas mansion today because the lease is expiring. Security concerns there, where the singer moved from Ireland in December, were cited. His rep recently denied rumors that he was bedridden an on medication.

I live not far from where it is reported that Michael Jackson may be moving to. I do all my shopping and errands in Talbot county, pratically a stones throw from where he has been looking for a home. I hope I never see him.
I hope he desides on moving to somewhere else. I can handle Bush visiting better than I can Jackson. And if Cheney and Rumsfeld want to live here as they have been, that doesn’t bother me. But Michael does. Michael please don’t come through here upsetting and causing a rash of disturbances in our beautiful area. D. Marie

Marie, your soul is an ugly one.

He is the kindest, most warm-hearted and shy person you could ever meet (yes I have met him before back in his touring days), and for you to say something like that just sickens me. How would he cause “upset” and “cause a rash” of disturbances simply by choosing to live or vacation wherever he wants to in his own country? Live and let live.

And to the person who wrote this article, Michael never dubbed himself “King of Pop”. This was a nick name given to him by Elizabeth Taylor. And it’s MICHAEL JACKSON, not “Jacko”.
