Bubbles the ape, former confidant and best friend of Michael Jackson, is fuming with the Jackson family.
A statement issued by the ape today, admittedly comprising of a set of high pitched screams, plenty of "ooh, ooh" sounds, much arm waving and considerable scratching of his behind, was translated into English by his buddy Cheetah from the Tarzan films.
According to Cheetah, Bubbles claimed that despite all the celebrity fawning over the recent sad demise of his former lord and master Michael Jackson, not one member of the Jackson clan had the courtesy to inform him that Michael had passed on to that great stage set and recording studio in the sky.
Gerald the giraffe and Nellie the elephant (who had already packed her trunk and said goodbye to the Jackson media circus) confirmed that Bubbles had been left totally in the dark.
