Neverland

In the height of Michael Jackson’s popularity his 2800 acre estate was an amazing example of celebrity excess. It had a zoo, an amusement park, a train, tennis courts, and many other hallmarks of a luxury celebrity property. Little children everywhere dreamed of being invited to Jacko’s Neverland.

When Jacko fell on hard times, so did his beloved Neverland. Recent pictures from an article in The Sun show the sprawling ranch in a sad state of disrepair. The big-top tent is ripped and falling, teepees are torn down, and windows broken in the buildings. So much for a fairytale kingdom.

But a couple of wealthy Brits intend to buy the home before it hits auction, just so Jackson can rent it back from them. And how, pray tell, will he rent the property back from them? He’s up to his eyeballs in debts and has abandoned his ranch. Now who’s living in a fairytale land? The Brit boys are fans of Michael Jackson, saying they might not be where they are today if it weren’t for his music and dance moves. The Real Estalker doesn’t believe that, and we’re not sure we do either. If these boys are tycoons, they should know better than to try and lease it back to the destitute celebrity who abandoned it. Either they really are young and silly, or they’re covering for their real plans for the property.

We can hear the smacking lips of drooling developers as they wait, hoping that the property will hit the auction block on March 19. Imagine how many luxury homes they could squeeze onto 2800 prime acres near Santa Barbara. Almost makes you want to scrape together the money, doesn’t it?

Update: Looks like Jacko may have made a last-minute deal to save his beloved.
