From US Magazine.com:

Rupert Everett says he wasn't surprised Michael Jackson died at the young age of 50.

He adds that the King of Pop is probably better off dead.

"He was a freak," Everett, 50, tells U.K.'s The Mirror. "He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel. He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation - that killed him."

Jackson "personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country," Everett continues. "We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art. I think it was fortuitous that he died."

Of Jackson's 50 London comeback performances, Everett says, "It wouldn't have mattered how good or bad he was. He wouldn't have managed to do all of them and the press would have destroyed him."

In light of Jackson's death, Everett says, "We're living in very strange times.

"We have Michael Jackson, a black man who has gone white, and we have President Barack Obama, who is a half-white man gone black," he explains. "It's absolutely fascinating to watch."

This guy?

I don't know if they qualify as deep thoughts. He's saying the world is crazy, which I think we all basically know.

The fact that he had a face lift just says that he is living the crazy life.

I do not know why men have plastic surgery. The all end up looking like older women and it's creepy.

Speaking of men looking like older women - did you hear Johnny Depp wants to play Carol Channing in a biopic?

She's all for it, apparently.

I think it comes from a dead-on impression he does of her. I hope this is a joke.
