Shortly before his death, Michael Jackson was negotiating to buy an extensive collection of nude celebrity photos. Of course he was. From E!:
Website and magazine owner Celebrity Sleuth (that's what he goes by) says that he was alerted to Jackson's interest in the photos by Jack Wishna, the Las Vegas businessman who facilitated Jackson's return to the U.S. from overseas and was trying to organize a comeback engagement for the beleaguered artist in 2006 and 2007.There's an obvious reason why Michael wanted naked photos of celebrities from all the way back to the 1920s -- that's when the "Little Rascals" were the biggest stars in Hollywood. Interestingly, the only nude photos Michael didn't want to buy were those of Macaulay Culkin, Corey Feldman, and his next door neighbor's kid Ben. Weird . . . I wonder why?
"Michael was one of the people to show the most interest right away and, up until literally the day before he died, I had an email from Jack saying 'M.J. wants to do this' and so forth," says Sleuth.
He would not reveal the exact amount Jackson was offering, but says it was "eight figures."
"This goes back to the '20s and the '30s and the '40s," says Sleuth. "They're pictures that I've collected, bought, been given, been given by the celebrities themselves over the years . . . If you can think of their name and they're famous, then they're in the collection. I would say nobody in the last 65 years who is a female celebrity is not in the collection."
