In other developments, the television show "Celebrity Justice" has learned that Jackson broke down after his Thursday arrest when he returned from Santa Barbara. Surrounded by family and friends in the same Las Vegas building where his sister LaToya lives, Jackson sobbed and said, "I can't believe this is happening to me," a source present at the gathering told "Celebrity Justice."
Small gatherings of Jackson's fans held candlelight vigils around the world Saturday to support the pop megastar . There were rallies from Los Angeles to Toronto to Rome, but each typically drew just a few dozen fans. Vigils were planned over the weekend in more than a dozen cities, and others were to follow in China and Australia.
In Los Angeles, about 25 supporters gathered at Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame outside Grauman's Chinese Theater. They chanted "Michael's innocent!" and set candles in the shape of a heart around the star. In Las Vegas, about 25 fans gathered outside the CMX Productions studio, where Jackson had been working on the video.
In Paris, about 60 fans gathered on the Champs Elysees and marched through crowds of shoppers to the Arc de Triomphe. They held candles and banners with slogans of support and sang "We Are the World," the 1985 African famine relief anthem written by Jackson and Lionel Richie. "It's really hard for us," said Pascale Hatot, a 37-year-old fan from the suburbs of Paris. "I haven't been able to sleep or eat for three days."
Supporters in Rome gathered at the foot of the Spanish Steps just after darkness fell. They held candles and a sign in Italian that read: "Michael: Accused but not guilty!"
Jackson's official spokesman, Stuart Backerman, said the singer had received hundreds of supportive e-mails and was buoyed by his fans' loyalty. "The demonstrations around the world reinforce his long-standing feelings for his fans," Backerman said. "He's grateful." |
