163835_main From the Dept. Of Parenthetical Asides That Could Really Merit Their Own Stories comes this throwaway line from a New York Times piece on Michael Jackson’s will, and his lawyer John G. Branca: “In 1987, Mr. Jackson was the best man at Mr. Branca’s first wedding. (David Lee Roth, another Branca client, handled the bachelor party.)” [NYT]

    A Diamond Dave planned bachelor party in 1987? That had to be a veritable smorgasbord of debauchery. Given the notorious reticence of Jackson, did he actually even attend the party?

    Do you think the jacket in that photo is custom-designed and, if so, was it Diamond Dave himself who requested a hand-drawn Pope pretending with his hands that he has glasses?

    @Audif Jackson Winters IV: And did he refuse to pay when he saw that the pope was drawn with the “hands up” goggles rather than the way cooler/dorkier “inverted with chin-strap”?
