On the night that Michael Jackson was buried, it's probably natural that people would want to share their memories of and stories about the King of Pop.
Leave it to Carrie Fisher, though, to have a very unusual story to tell.
Fisher appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Thursday, and Ferguson asked her about any time she may have spent with Jackson. As it turns out, she had -- last Christmas, in fact. And -- well, just let her tell it.
"They came to me to go on a travel junket for talking about Michael (Jackson) because I was with him on his last Christmas," she told Ferguson. "It was fantastic. He had a big tree, and I did the Princess Leia monologue for his children. Yeah, I got paid. ... No, no I got paid nothing. But I got a lot [out] of it, and also he got me a cell phone."
So -- yeah. There's that. Thanks, Carrie!

P Diddy had very precisely described the genius of Michael Jackson: "He showed that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life. He made me believe in magic."
Here I've tried to collect all notable tributes paid to Michael Jackson by peers:

Cool story but how did you know about this before it even aired?
When she says the "Princess Leia monologue", she doesn't mean that Life Day thing from the Holiday Special, does she?
Huh? This makes absolutely no sense Carrie.
I'm thinking she means the one that ends with "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
Candice - sometimes a network will send out quotes from pre-taped interviews when they think it's newsworthy. That was the case here.
Well, she sounds coherent.
i want to meet carrie.
