A guided tour by Matt Lauer
For reasons best explained away by the word “insomnia” I was up and watching NBC’s Today this morning, which featured host Matt Lauer live from Neverland.
The new (75%) owners of Michael Jackson’s former home, for reasons best known to themselves, have just let Today walk around and do whatever they wanted. Brilliant. And then Matt announces, "When we come back I’m going to take you into Michael Jackson's private bedroom and I’m going to show you what we found - a secret room!"
GET! OUT!
The infamous
Of course they totally knew it was there (they "found" it after they went looking) ... but ... BRILLIANT!
For some reason Michael was really security conscious about his bedroom. There is a keypad to get into his room, and he has a peep hole to see who is coming in.
Then Matt takes us into his walk-in wardrobe. It’s “somewhat special and interesting” he says, without any subtext at all.
Ahem.
He takes us to an upper cabinet, which when opened reveals a secret keypad which then opens a triple locked door hidden in the back of wardrobe behind the hanging clothes… to reveal the secret room!
Matt: "I’m not sure what he kept in there but clearly he didn't want many people to know that it existed."
NO KIDDING!
You have to watch the tour yourself.
I so hope they open Neverland to visit Graceland-style. I shouldn’t want to go … but I do. Is that creepy?
