..Anyone else following this on Sky News? Do you guys in the US get this on your tele,or is it just us in the UK (and anywhere else the dish can be found)?
I'm kinda following it, it's quite interesting, altho, I'm completely lost on some of the legal jargon.Any more thoughts on MJ at this point?

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about..but I've been following the trial..and I have to say it gets weirder by the day..

I mean with yesterday (was it yesterday or the day before?) him showing up in his PJ's and slippers, stumbling into court by order of a bench warrant..it's a circus there...

Yeah - that was yesterday - and try as I might to not pay attention - this damn trial is EVERYWHERE - they had a freakin' story about it on NPR for cripes sake.

It IS getting weirder....the accuser testified yesterday about the molestations and the wine stuff.....crazy.

I also heard that E! is doing daily trial re-enactments with actors?

I don't have cable but I recently heard an interview with the guy who plays Michael Jackson in those....weird.

i LOVE sky's dramatization, i'm watching it every day. i didn't catch E!'s reconstruction tho, is that the same one?

I haven't see the SKY reenactments, only E! they are probably the same...

The judge definetely should have told Jackson he could not enter the court in a child molestation case, on the day his accuser was on the stand in PAJAMAS..talk about irony, and an uncomfortable feeling... I mean it's just stupid that he was allowed in like that, especially this being a child molestation case in which the PJ's MIGHT bring back some bad memories..lol...regardless of if he's guilty or not, he admits to sleeping in the bed with children so..

Ha Tommer..so you have a dish, thats what I meant about Sky dishes being around wherever, coz in theory aren't they never meant to be out of the UK?Hehe, we had it in France for 10 years......anyway, yes, it's Sky News doing re-inactments of the trial using actors, with the real transcripts from each days court proceedings, interesting, wish it was really on the tv though, I'd probably be glued!I'll have to check out E's thing, see if it's the same.

"Gets weirder by the day" and "circus" are MJ's daily life, it seems! And now it's all just coming under a lot closer scrutiny I guess.

I agree, but I also agree that people love circus. Everybody criticize it, but they watch it anyway.

So, IS the Sky one the same as the E! one? Because the E! one cracks my **** up. I'd love to be that Michael Jackson impersonator. That's a sweet gig- sitting around (in your PJs, one day!) all day at a table looking perplexed, outraged, or spaced out.
