Born in a small town in Texas in 1983, Bubbles the chimp rose from obscurity to become a part of Michael Jackson's entourage at the young age of eight months. As the news media scratches their collective heads looking for more information to report, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper got the inside scoop on Bubbles, tracking him down at the Center for Great Apes, a nonprofit sanctuary in Florida. Bubbles is now 26 years old and retired. He hangs out with 41 other chimpanzees and orangutans, many former circus performers or show business veterans. In an exclusive television report, CNN's Cooper said that Bubbles and the King of Pop “lived together, dressed alike, and went on tour together.” He then cut to a YouTube clip from 1987 showing the two drinking “tea” together. Anonymous reports that they were actually drinking wine have not been substantiated, although most of Jackson's former entourage are unable to talk to the media because of “non-disclosure” agreements. As to the reports that the two went to parties together, Cooper said: “This is the 1980's, so hey, different rules apply.” http://www.paulsolomon.blogspot.com

He bit a hole in my daughter’s hand! Rashida’s hand. Rashida Jones—did you see I Love You, Man? That’s my daughter. She was a little girl. And Bubbles bit her hand.
