OMG CL U ROCK FOR THIS POST.
I was looking for Chris this entire time wondering how he was doing. for those who dont know him and MJJ were really friends. I wish u guys had directv b/c the tribute to MJJ appears on TV1 that was taped in 2002 i think. Well MJJ brought Usher & Chris on the stage to dance w/ him Well Chris is such a comedian that he begin dancing & threw MJJ & Usher for a loop. it was so hilarious that MJJ stopped dancing and fell on the floor cracking up. It was so funny. My heart is w/ chris during this time. I know he misses MJJ part of his act & films are MJJ skits.
MJJ touched so many. RIP!

Poor guy, I cant tell he is just tore up about it.
this is still sooooo sad, and still stings fans and others deeply. For someone to not be known personally by so many, and still grieved so heavily by so many people, who only knew him through music. Says alot.

MJ fell out because he told chris that he was kicking with the wrong leg. Chris talked about it when he introduced it and If you notice when he’s on stage Mike looked at him, did the kick with his right leg, chris was like J’mon and did the kick with his left leg. That leaf to MJ fallin out in laughter.
But yeah they were good friends. So sad to see the king gone

I’ve been wondering how he has been doing since MJ’s passing. They were such good friends, Ever since Mike saw him in Rush Hour…And I love the “You Rock My World” video too. I saw behind the scenes filming and Chris had MJ cracking up with laughter. I’m glad that he at least had a close friend like Chris who could make him laugh through all his hardships.Be strong, Chris.

Keep ya head up Chris. We need to see you in films other than the “Rush Hour” franchise. I heard he was really taking his death real hard. It’s alright Chris he can’t hear the media criticize him anymore.

I am happy Chris is there. I had no doubt. I watched you rock my world video and man can you see the love between the two of them. This hurts and will continue to hurt. Things will NEVER be the same. Man Michael why did you have to go??? God WHY?????
Man I am mad at myself because it is like I appreciate him more now that he is not here. Loving you always. KING/LEGEND/ICON. There will be no other MJ. Heart is heavy.

Awwww mannnn….this still seems so unreal. I’m so pissed that I didn’t get the tix to pay my final respects to Michael tomorrow
At least Michael had a true friend in Chris Tucker and I’m praying to God that Michael made it into heaven and that he is just CHILLIN in PARADISE right now

Of all of MJJ’s famous friends, and yest that includes Ross, Taylor, Presley, Shields, Jones. I have the upmost respect and love and sympathy for Cris Tucker. Because, he was a true friend in the sense that he didn’t make a public statement, he just grieved in private. Obviously, Cris and MJJ were tight. But, the love for MJJ was there, because he showed his love and support for MJJ by sticking by him, at his lowest point. That is a true friend to ryde with you doing the down time. I hope that Tucker will say something, but sometimes pain overwhelms us and we can’t. But MJJ knew how much Tucker loved him.
Where is Eddie Griffin? He was a true friend going to the court everyday supporting MJJ.

Oh yeah! I was thinking about Chris…poor guy.
I think Chris was just a great fan of Michael, and then they probs later became good friends.
I watched Rush Hour 2 the other day and I still love the scene where Chris sings ‘Dont stop til you get enough’ in the Triad club LOLLL and of course Chris’ cameo in ‘You rock my world’ was good..

Love Chris Tucker. I know he’s tore up over this one. He stuck by Michael through a lot, even testified for him at that bogus trial. Chris was a true friend to Michael.

I still don’t believe it. No more Michael Jackson? His poor family. It’s alright to be sad Chris, a lot of people are. F*ck the fool who commented on gaining weight. If Chris is OK with it, why do you care…? Don’t you hate stupid people?

Seeing Chris Tucker, immediately makes me think of the “You rock my world” video,
and live performance, with Michael, Chris and Usher.
Just thinking of Chris doing his Michael Jackson moves, and Michael laughing
and falling 2 the floor (LOL)!!!
I’ve never seen Michael do that b4. I know it this sounds crazy, but I’ve never seen Michael do something as simple as throwing his head back, laughing and falling out (lol). That’s how large he was. 2 me he was bigger than life, he seemed unreal.
I love Michael, 4ever & always. I will always cherish that moment on stage
when Chris Tucker made u laugh so hard, that you passed out (lol)!!!
LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

I’m very sad that Michael Jackson is gone. It always seems the good people are always taken first. However, I believe Michael fulfilled his duties in our world as intended by God for him to do and it was his time to go. God has gardens in heaven and he needs flowers too. RIP Michael Jackson my heart only hurts because I would never get a chance to say I met you and shook your hand.

And to the people on the panel…lets be of good spirits and not speak negative about anyone. A wise man once said..”I complained that my feet hurt while walking in shoes..until I met a man who had no shoes.” meaning..you never know what someone is going through in their life. Being a celebrity in the spot light all the time and rarely having your own privacy, personal life..having people lie on you and make false allegations against you because who you are can be hard. Yes, its understandle when you’re a celebrity this comes with the turf, however when do we draw the line as fans and the media? No one has the right to judge or speak negatively about anyone. We ALL have issues and NONE of use are perfect. Yes, everyone has a right to their own opinion but not a right to be judgemental. That God’s position and he’s the only one who will always have that title. RIP MJ

I think Chris looks better with a little weight than he did skinny. You people are so superficial though- look inside the person and stop worrying about other peoples weight. It’s just the way you young people are today-to hell with being skinny.
