A woman mailed Michael Jackson a gun, her photo, and a letter telling him to kill himself at a specific time. The song he wrote about her is sitting at #1 on Spotify right now, 43 years later. It started in 1981. She began sending Michael letters claiming he was the father of one of her twins. He had never met her, so he ignored the whole thing. The letters kept coming anyway. Then one day, a package showed up. Inside was her photograph, a gun, and a note instructing him to kill himself at a particular date and time. She planned to kill “their” baby afterward, so they could be together in the next life. The Jacksons later found out she had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. That is where the line “the kid is not my son” came from. The bass line you hear in the first eight seconds is one of the most famous in pop history. They almost didn’t find it. The bassist Quincy hired, a guy named Louis Johnson, walked into the studio carrying every bass guitar he owned. Michael made him play the same line on each one until they settled on a Yamaha. Then they layered a synthesizer playing the exact same notes on top, which is why the bass has that thick, almost glowing sound. The drum sound took even more obsession. Quincy Jones told his engineer Bruce Swedien he wanted a sound so distinct you’d know the song from the first three drum hits. So Bruce actually built a wooden platform for the entire drum kit. He put a flat piece of wood between the snare drum and the hi-hat cymbal to keep them from interfering with each other. He also built a custom cover for the kick drum, with a small slot for the microphone. Michael had programmed the beat on a drum machine when he wrote the demo at home. When it came time to record the album, drummer Ndugu Chancler walked in and played the same pattern on a real kit. He nailed it in three takes. Then came the vocal. Michael sang the entire main vocal in one continuous take. For the extra harmonies and adlibs on top, Quincy made him sing through a six-foot cardboard tube rigged up in the booth. Michael was also getting vocal training every single morning while they were making the album. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983 and stayed there for seven weeks. Yesterday it hit #1 on Spotify Global with 6.02 million streams in a single day, the highest the song has ever climbed on the platform.

Mara Wilson, who played the kid in Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda, had her face edited into child pornography online before she turned 12. She had never worn anything on screen more revealing than a knee-length sundress. In a 2021 New York Times essay, she wrote that her film sets were always safe. The abuse came from the public and the press. "Our culture," she put it, "builds these girls up just to destroy them." Corey Feldman tried to warn people in 2011. On Nightline, he said pedophilia was the number-one problem in Hollywood and that he had been surrounded by predators at 14 without even knowing what they were. Two years later on The View, host Barbara Walters accused him of damaging an entire industry. He was 40, talking about his own childhood. Alyson Stoner, who was in Cheaper by the Dozen and Camp Rock, started working in Hollywood before she turned 10. By 17 she had admitted herself to a treatment center, at least 20 pounds underweight, her body wrecked from skipped meals and overlapping shoots. Her team kept sending her audition requests while she was on bedrest. She called the whole thing "the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline." Drake Bell finally said it out loud in 2024. He told a documentary called Quiet on Set that he was the unnamed minor in the 2003 Brian Peck case. Peck had been one of his acting coaches at Nickelodeon. He was convicted on two counts of child sexual abuse and served 16 months. After his release, he still got hired for voiceover work on a Disney Channel show until the network learned about his record. Bell described it this way. "I woke up, opened my eyes, and he was sexually assaulting me. I froze and was in complete shock." The main law protecting child actors in America is called the Coogan Law. It only deals with money. It locks 15 percent of what they earn into a savings account they can touch at 18. The other 85 percent is controlled by the parents and managers who put them in front of the camera. There is no equivalent law for what happens to the kid. McCurdy turned down $300,000 in 2014. That is what a network thought a child's silence was worth.

Mixtape is a game made by someone who didn’t have friends who really wished they had friends and made this game on what they thought a friend group was like

@Be_AmazedCBM Overhated asf Genuinely some great moments with the bat family and overall a fun experience, tho it’s no where near Arkham quality

Paul Dini told me last month that he was working on something new with the character of Batman Beyond. Today I see the 4chan game leaks get debunked, but it gets me thinking that maybe there’s actually some merit to the leaks 🤷‍♂️

Not ONE wonder woman show in 50 years bro 😭😭 She is literaly on the Mount Rushmore of super heroes

Can we write a headline to Kirby without including Lee? Just commemorate the great that he is

Message from Fred Seibert (former president of Hanna-Barbera and Frederator): "You’ve already failed." That’s what Ted Turner told me after I blew through $10,000,000. Most CEOs would have shown me the door. But Ted wasn’t most CEOs. He was a "swashbuckling pirate" who understood something most MBA types miss: In creative industries, talent rules, and gambling is required. I went back to him asking for another $10 million for a wild idea: making 48 short cartoons instead of one big hit. His response changed the course of animation history. It led to: • Dexter’s Laboratory • Johnny Bravo • Powerpuff Girls • Courage the Cowardly Dog • And more! Working for a genius like Ted meant surviving the rants to witness the "leaps of magic." He didn't just build CNN and Cartoon Network; he built a world where entrepreneurs were encouraged to take 48 swings at the bat. Rest in peace, Ted. Thanks for the $10M (and the second $10M).
