IT WAS NO SONG AND DANCE ACT

Pop superstar Michael Jackson invited 130 children to his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.,, where the YMCA day campers from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles visited his zoo, video arcade and custom theater. At first, the children, age 7 to 13, were in awe of Michael Jackson, but his genuine warmth quickly changed that. "He was so much more than I expected. I thought he was going to say `hi' and `bye.' But he played with us the whole time," said 12-year-old Monique Jackson of Los Angeles. During Saturday's visit, the kids presented the star with a banner that said "We love you Michael," and made him an honorary member of the 28th Street YMCA in Los Angeles, a spokesperson said. Last month Jackson spontaneously asked a group of terminally ill children who were camping nearby to come to his estate for a barbecue and movie.
