Is Justin Bieber after Neverland?

A British newspaper, Sunday People, has written that Neverland, Michael Jackson’s ranch, has been put up for sale—and that 19-year-old Justin Bieber, who lives in a multi-million-dollar mansion in Calabasas and is neighbors with Michael Jackson’s children, is looking to buy Neverland and has sent his staff there to investigate.

When reading this news, readers should take into account the history of British tabloids in publishing false stories. Although, despite what Sunday People claims, Neverland is certainly not being put up for sale and cannot be sold, the property is still attractive to many people. The paper has also previously said that Lady Gaga’s “eyes” are on Neverland—a report that was never confirmed.

Readers of this outlet should note that Neverland is not for sale; the fate of Neverland is determined by Michael’s children. A long time hasn’t passed since Paris, Michael’s daughter, announced that she would bring Neverland back to its days of glory. The Michael Jackson Foundation has never intended to sell the property and has emphasized that this ranch belongs to Michael’s children. In the meantime, some opportunists have also launched campaigns claiming they are trying to buy Neverland and keep it. Not long ago, you read on this same page that Neverland is not in danger and has been restored. (News)

This rumor may be another media exploitation of Michael Jackson’s name and of his fans’ sensitivity toward him—though at the same time, the Sun has also poured its poison on Bieber. Justin Bieber has recently been under the spotlight for a mix of real and fabricated controversies, the biggest of which was the release of a video showing him urinating in public in a trash bin outside a restaurant’s cleaning-supplies area, as well as vandalizing a photo of Bill Clinton and using insulting language toward him. The publication writes that because of his questionable behavior, Bieber needs a break and to stay away from the city—and that the Neverland property is a suitable option for him, one that doesn’t even require thinking.
