Michael Jackson: Ebony looks Ivory

Click on the link- It's a story about Michael Jackson's cover story in the new Ebony magazine. As they point out, he may have said it makes no difference if you are black or white, but MJ definitely wants to be white.

I know the "Micheal sure looks different" story has been beaten to death but this is just astounding. HE looks good, no doubt, but he looks good for a 26 year old Hollywood starlet. The amount of surgery and make-up is astounding.

He looks like he's about to spin into his Wonder Woman costume.

I think homeboy needs to set Britney up an appointment with his wig maker.

Unless inhuman is considered attractive, I don't think he looks good at all. You could use that nose to chip ice. And those lips! They give me nightmares! Never has a blow-up doll looked less sexy. And personally, I think the hair was just photoshopped in. They probably tried several looks, but went for the Jaclyn Smith and resized it set to medium length. His eyes are pretty. And I mean that in the girliest way possible. Those are not man eyes.

I guess I should have said he looks BETTER than he has recently...

ACK! DEAD EYES! DEAD EYES!


Now I know what Tyra has been talking about all this time.

I think that nose is going to give me nightmares.

He was THE most talented child entertainer I'd ever seen in my life. The early Jackson 5 clips take my breath away. He had everything going for him...it's really pathetic.

He had everything going for him...except for that utterly psychotic family.

Well, yeah. There was that.

Although I'm all for personal responsibility, I think it's clear that MJ was someone who was 'broken' at an early age. He was then never 'fixed' so that he could get along in any sort of normal fashion. Of course, he had enough money and 'yes' folks around him to enable him to retreat into whatever fantasy life he's created for himself. It's horribly sad.

That's not him on the cover. It's his wax statue on loan form Madame Toussauds

Really Taz? It does look mannequin like for sure.

does he have an upper lip?

Oh no Joe, I wasn't being serious. I mean it may be true, but I don't know for sure.

Somehow it's easier to believe it's a wax dummy than an actual human under all that make up!

"does he have an upper lip?"

yes, folky...and it cost a fortune!

Amazing what makeup, surgery and a serious touch of photoshop can do for a person. He almost looks like he might have been born on this planet.

I've been saying this for numerous years. Mike's been trying to look like Ally Sheedy. This is very sad, and he's still a tremendous talent. Think about it: he's gonna turn 50 next year and beyond looking like that.

My older sis is a big Jacko fan for decades, and all that dysfunction really wrecked him. I was a slow burn fan who at first couldn't understand the fuss about him. Wonder if Thriller, it's been 25 years since that landmark album, will get more special treatment. When you get famous to that level, I have to remember that his family come from the humble working-class background of Gary, Indiana (near Chicago).

Only in America can a talented black boy from the underclass can grow up to be a very rich "white" guy.

Was it Dennis Miller who said "Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman."

If you're black and have vitiligo, it can be emotionally very damaging. As a white guy with it, its really annoying.

I have a feeling that Diana Ross is furious.
