Lou Ferrigno’s Statement on MJ
News — By Patricia on June 26, 2009 at 11:09 amAnyone who has more then 4 brain cells is aware of the events yesterday; the passing of the King of Pop. Almost all television network news carried MJ coverage the whole day, reports came in that the internet nearly broke under the pressure; numerous sites such as TMZ, Latimes, PerezHilton and Twitter completely crashed, and others were moving at snails pace. Stars paid tribute, and crowds gathered outside the hospital, at his home, at the Apollo and other places.
That – is what you call enduring star power.
Former Mr Universe and pro bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno had been hired as Michael Jackson’s personal trainer recently. He released this statement:
Lou Ferrigno — former “Hulk” star and Michael’s trainer for his upcoming tour — and his wife, Carla, are in pieces over the King of Pop’s passing.
Carla, crying, told us: “He was so great and we all loved him. Lou can’t even form words right now — he’s in total shock … he thought he was going to be training Michael tomorrow. He was planning on flying back to Los Angeles to do it. He’s very shocked right now. Michael was so cute and sweet — he didn’t deserve this.“
A headline I saw summed it up for me personally “The Day the Music Died”…..

Oh please, “the day the music died” happened many many years ago, and NOT for this “dancing dandy” He was possibly OK for a singer and a dancer, he certainly had a fan base, but he was a terrible role model, the unnecessary surgeries and the incident with his kid, dangling it out a hotel window, were just way too over the top for him to be anything but a real joke.
Me.
MJ was a scumbag…I am glad to see him go. As for Lou, you’re an idiot bluto.
If he was “ok” I’d hate to see what good was, being as he had the best selling album of all time. I think irrespective of opinion, his impact cannot be denied.
Apart from the sites I mention above AIM, Wikipedia crashed, and all the major news sites were straining under the pressure. No event in internet history has ever caused that.
Television has not shut up, and will not be anytime soon. His music sales have gone through the roof, on and offline, Amazon and Itunes are reporting him as 60%+ of all sales, brick & mortars are reporting being sold out of his stuff worldwide.
And that’s just a start, you had to have been a big star to command that.
Mel and Franco S. You are both dumbasses.
He wasn’t called the king of pop for nothing!
There’s barely any celebrities that ARE good role models!
Our own sport’s celebrities are all criminals and druggies!
Except Lori of course.. I’m sure she’s a clean fitness celebrity :)
I’m with you Fitnews.
People often forget the good he did, as [understandably] his weird actions overshadowed them
He wrote and was the man behind ‘We are the World’, which raised 50 million for Africa….a commendable action by any accounts.
He gave away the most money in history of any singer….again commendable by any accounts.
Despite his skin lightening, he was African-American and broke down doors. Pre-MJ MTV simply didn’t *ever* play black artists at all. That was policy. MJ was too good to be denied, so they had to bend, that door he broke open.
No one is perfect, least of all him, but his imassive worldwide impact cannot be denied.
