You'd think rehab would have fattened the girl up, but apparently not.

@raincoaster: What, no live links anymore? It's because I'm not starred now, isn't it? It's because you love the starred ones better. That's also why they get paragraph breaks and I don't.

How did LeVar Burton get an invite, was he one of the lucky ticket holders?

I'm finding it slightly more offensive that Levar is Tweeting from a FUNERAL??????? granted, it's a spectacle of epic proportions, but seriously, put the fucking cell phone down, please.

@shag_carpet_bomb: Not to rationalize on his behalf, but it's not like he did it at Forest Lawn in front of the family; he did it at a 20,000 seat arena, possibly even in the parking lot before or after.

I wonder how many people dressed up like David Carradine at his funeral? Wig, pantyhose and noose?

Feldman's Wikipedia page (currently) has an image of him at '89 Oscars wearing a Jackson-esque ensemble. What's the deal with this? Is Feldman wearing clothes that were gifted to him by MJ? The more I see of this, the more it confuses me.

Also, the woman behind him and to the left seems as mystified as Burton and myself.

@Senator Sully: I believe during Feldman's "music career" he not only aped the dress but musical style of Jackson. Since Jackson's death he's been spotted wearing Jacko inspired clothes, today being hopefully the end.

@jorel845:

I get that it's fame-whoring to a large extent, but how close were the two in actuality? Did Jackson groom Feldman with regards to music and styling? Feldman must have felt he had some sort of entitlement or permission to get away with that.

Or chutzpah.

Yeah, on second thought... it's chutzpah.

@Senator Sully: I thought the Coreys (or maybe just Feldman) were sort of the precursors to Macauley Culkin, no? I mean, as far as young people MJ spent an unusual amount of time with.

@Senator Sully: Corey has admitted that he had self esteem problems as a kid and latched onto MJ as a role model, which explains the imitation. Then they had a falling out after 9/11 because apparently MJ wouldn't offer him a ride out of the city or something. Corey defended MJ on Larry King during the 2005 trial but still seemed bitter about the falling out. Yeah, I know way too much about that.

Given all that, the MJ garb here is kind of oddly touching to me.

LeVar's been pretty uptight since he was forced to wear that futuristic interactive eyewear.

Once upon a long time ago, I ran something called a BBS, which allowed individual callers to use my home machine for fun and games. I don't know what that was about, but there were games, you could play them, and sometimes there was actual canned dialogue presented to the player! Like, they'd be in a chess match against the machine, and the chat would be, "Hey, good move."

The problem, for me, came when the callers thought those insipid banalities were actually sent by me myself! I was thus considered by my loyal users a vapid bozo.

Pretty soon I did something else with my time.

No one actually lives their life 140 characters at a time.

This is probably the most profound statement I've ever read on Gawker. And on a Friday no less...

Well done.

@smecktacular: But you begin to do no less, nor no more. You will actually think in those parameters, and adjust to them as you proceed through your day. I'm different now. Ever since I have begun this online business in 1987, my pattern is altered in discrete bytes, like how you adjust to a bass drum behind you, or a menstrual cycle working by your side. If you don't believe it, how come we don't act like the characters in classic movies? Because the scenes were too long for keyboarding thumbs, is why. Let's see you Twitter the `Hows' the hand, Rio?' scene from One-Eyed Jacks.

We're all just waiting for a Twittering Elvis to show up.

People want to believe they are part of a celebrity's life. It makes them feel more important. My mother used to call it "big moments in little lives."

Wouldn't it be more interesting to live your life than to write about living your life?

The answer, if you're wondering, is no.
